After eating four pieces of watermelon in a row, Hanzi felt somewhat relieved.
It was at this time that he raised his head and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
"Hey, who are you? Are you from Mofen Village?"
Idiot didn't even recognize me, which shows that my outfit still played a role in concealing my identity.
"Brother Han, it's me, don't you remember, in Tongcheng, 30,000 yuan...!"
The idiot was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he came close to me and identified it carefully.
"Little brother, it's really you. Why are you here?"
"You came here for the things in there too?"
Idiot is a smart man and he immediately guessed the purpose of my coming here.
I had nothing to hide about this, so I nodded and said, "Brother Fool, I already know about my sister-in-law. Please forgive me and be patient."
It's fine that I didn't mention his wife. When I mentioned that idiot, tears suddenly flowed out, "It's all those beasts. If it weren't for them, how could my mother-in-law die and my sister-in-law be implicated? What evil did you do in your previous life?"
I didn't want him to make too much noise to avoid arousing suspicion from those people.
I hurriedly made a low-pitched gesture to him, and then asked him: "Brother Fool, tell me the truth, why did they arrest you here?"
Hanzi wiped the tears on his face with his rough hands, looked around cautiously, sighed and said to me: "Aren't you just looking for a way to go down..."
Hanzi briefly told me about it, and then I got a rough idea.
Everyone knew that Junzi and his wife were from Shaanxi, and the reason why they came to this remote place thousands of miles away was actually because they eloped without the consent of their families.
Or they were worried that their family would find them, so they came to the Gobi Desert with such a harsh environment.
Ximei was born after the two came to Mofen Village. She was considered a native child. They lived in a very poor life, basically doing odd jobs for the village chief's family to maintain the family's livelihood.
Just a few months ago, the man's wife suddenly lost her appetite. At first she could eat some watery food, but later she would vomit everything she ate.
At that time, the fool thought his wife had a broken penis, but he never thought of asking the village doctor for a checkup, which was not the case at all.
As Hanzi's wife became increasingly emaciated and thin, Hanzi took her to the hospital in Dunhuang. The hospital checked that Hanzi's wife had a tumor in her stomach and needed surgery. The surgery fee alone would cost 80,000 yuan.
80,000 yuan. How could Hanzi's family get so much money? Later, after asking around, I learned that Tongcheng, thousands of miles away, is a national key poverty alleviation medical center. The surgery fee is also very low. Basically, it can be done for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Surgery was done.
Thirty thousand yuan was an astronomical figure for a fool. I borrowed it all over the village, but only got a thousand yuan, which was still far from thirty thousand yuan.
Hanzi is from Xi'an, Shaanxi. Xi'an has been full of treasures since ancient times. Hanzi has been exposed to it since he was a child. He naturally knows that the things dug out of the ground are valuable.
It was also a coincidence that when Hanzi and his wife first arrived in Mofen Village, they heard that some children went to play near the graveyard and picked up a broken bronze sword.
So Hanzi went there, just in time to catch up with a huge sandstorm that suddenly blew up. Unexpectedly, after the sandstorm blew over, a strange stone door was blown out on the back of the tomb.
Hanzi tried to push but failed, so he gave up. He happened to find a few things scattered on the ground beside the door, so Hanzi grabbed three items and ran back in a hurry.
Later, when the hospital had paid the fees and was preparing for the operation, a stranger suddenly came and, in the name of charity donation, deceived the stupid couple out of the hospital and caught them in the car.
Force him to lead the way to the place where the two bronzes in my hand were unearthed, otherwise I will kill them both.
After a lot of twists and turns, Hanzi and his wife returned to Mofen Village again. The bumpy journey, coupled with the rapid deterioration of Hanzi's wife's condition, caused Hanzi's wife to pass away the day after they came back.
Before Hanzi had time to grieve, the group used Ximei as a threat. Hanzi had no choice but to hastily bury his wife, and then followed the group to Fengqiuzi.
It's a coincidence. Maybe there was another sandstorm later, and the previously exposed stone gate was once again buried by the yellow sand. After arriving, there were no clues to follow, so I could only wander around randomly. Digging.
After listening to Hanzi's words, I nodded slightly, and then said: "Brother Hanzi, you actually know the specific location of the stone gate, right?"
"Well, I know, I just don't want them to find her. They killed my mother-in-law. I hate them so much."
"And...if I help them find the stone gate, I will be of no use to them. They will definitely kill me and silence me. I am not afraid of death. If I die, I will just go down and keep company with my aunt, but I like it." What should I do with my sister? Who will take care of her if I die? What if she is bullied by those beasts too!"
At this point, I understood all Hanzi's inner thoughts. I raised my hand and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Hanzi, you did the right thing, dragging them like this. Only in this way can you be safe." .”
"Oh, by the way, there is one thing I have to tell you. I picked up Ximei and she is now with my companions at the village chief's house, so you don't have to worry."
After that, I told the fool everything about what happened last night. Of course, I also added some fuel and jealousy to it.
After listening to what I said, Hanzi was extremely angry. I quickly told him to calm down and not to offend that group of people.
Idiot is becoming more and more grateful to me. If it weren’t for this occasion, I am afraid I would kneel down in front of me again.
"Little brother, you are a good person. I know you are also here for the things down there. You are kind to me. I can tell you where the stone gate is..."
So Hanzi came close to my ear and whispered softly.
Not long after, the man came back with satisfaction, patting his round belly.
I didn’t want to arouse his suspicion, so I said hello to the fool and left quickly.
When I arrived at the old man's side, I found that there was a mess in front of me, and more than a dozen watermelons had been eaten cleanly.
A man with the same stature was slumped on the ground and burping, but suddenly he turned his attention to me.
"Hey, boy, you look familiar. Have you seen me somewhere?"
Our eyes met, and I immediately smiled. I had indeed seen it before, in Ximei's house. The guy in front of me was exactly that beast!
"This elder brother is joking. I am from this village. You must have seen me."
Being able to ask such a question means that this guy didn't really recognize me. Maybe it was because he had a guilty conscience at the time. He just thought about running away without seeing my appearance clearly. In addition, I was a dirty person. He would definitely not be able to recognize her with her rustic dress.
"That's right. It's okay. Just pack up these melon skins and go away."
I smiled and nodded, and the old man and I began to clean up the battlefield.
When I recognized that beast, I really wanted to go up and kill him, but for the sake of the overall situation, I restrained this impulse in my heart.
I secretly said to myself, sooner or later I will let this damn beast get the retribution he deserves.
Putting all the melon rinds back into the woven baskets on both sides of the camel, the old man and I got on the camel again one after another.
It was at this time that the village chief walked out of the tent he had entered before.
When he came out, the village chief was carrying a lot of things in his hands, such as wine, meat, fish and so on. The wrinkles on his face were almost wrinkled together when he smiled.
"Village chief, thank you for your support of our geological expedition team. I have other things to do here, so I won't send you off."
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties came out from behind the village chief. This middle-aged man wore a pair of glasses and looked like a scholar.
She looks soft and weak, but there is no trace of anger hidden between her eyebrows under those glasses.
