The fat man immediately explained that the person in front of him was the indigenous people of Lop Nur - "Lobu people". The two of them fell into the water while parachuting. After he dragged Cang Hai to the shore, he was exhausted and passed out. He heard that he was rescued by a passing Luobu man.
"Hello, thank you for your rescue." Cang Hai gave a military salute.
"You're welcome." The woman smiled and said, "My Chinese name is Yue Gu, and I am the priest of this tribe."
Cang Hai heard the woman speak fluent Mandarin and looked at her in surprise.
Rumor has it that the Luobu people live in seclusion in a barren land all year round. The environment here is isolated and they have no interaction with outsiders. How could this woman speak Mandarin?
The woman named Yue Gu saw the two people's doubts and immediately explained: "I went out to study when I was young, but then I repeatedly encountered obstacles and finally returned to my hometown."
"So that's it." Cang Hai smiled in relief.
While the three of them were chatting, a Rob man walked over quickly and whispered something in Yue Gu's ear.
"You can look around and I'll take care of some things." Yue Gu then turned and left.
Cang Hai looked at her back and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your business."
The two were about to discuss their next plan when the fat man suddenly pointed his eyes at Cang Hai and looked in the direction where the woman was walking.
The woman walked into the wooden house and closed the door. Two men with bows and arrows stood at the door.
Then the men and women in the open space stopped what they were doing and gathered outside the largest wooden house. They sat cross-legged on the ground and muttered words, as if they were reciting scriptures.
However, they could not understand a word of it.
At this time, a loud female voice was heard in the room, "Hu Da", and everyone also shouted "Hu Da" in unison.
It was obvious that some kind of ritual was going on.
The two were quite curious and moved closer to see what was going on in the house, but they were noticed by the man at the door and stopped them.
The fat man was quite helpless, shook his head, grabbed Cang Hai and was about to leave, but saw that Cang Hai was a little sluggish at this time.
"Let's go." Fatty patted Cang Hai on the shoulder.
Cang Hai reacted immediately, and the two of them walked to the poplar tree in the distance and squatted down.
"We are really useless. In this poor land and harsh waters, the sky and the earth are really in trouble." The fat man said helplessly, "What are your plans next?"
"It really takes no effort at all." At this time, Cang Hai held his chin with his hand and said to himself.
The fat man said a little impatiently: "I didn't hear what I was talking to you! Damn you, what are you thinking about?"
"Fat man, guess who I just saw?" Cang Hai looked happy.
"Beauty?" said the fat man.
"No, what the hell are you thinking about?" Cang Hai was a little helpless.
"What is that?" said the voice.
"Guess again, hehe." Cang Hai continued to tease him, maybe he thought to himself that it was finally his turn to be poor.
The fat man was used to this kind of pretense, so he didn't accept this trick. "Whoever you like to see has something to do with me. Hey, whether you like to talk or not."
Seeing the fat man's attitude, Cang Hai simply said: "I saw Peng Lin."
"Who is Peng Lin..." As soon as the fat man finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, "I'll go, where is Peng Lin?"
"You bastard, keep your voice down." Cang Hai immediately grabbed the fat man, pointed towards the wooden house, and said, "I glanced from the window just now, and there was a man lying in that house. At a glance, it was not Peng Lin. who is it."
The fat man was thoughtful, silent for a moment, and asked, "Did he also be rescued by the Rob people?"
"It doesn't feel like it. Peng Lin was tied to the bed and he was still struggling." Cang Hai said softly with a complicated expression, "The situation is a bit complicated. We have to first figure out what these Rob people are doing."
The two discussed for a while, and Cang Hai said: "In this way, I will go to the female priest to check her voice in a while. You stay behind the tree. If there is an emergency, rush over to save people."
------------------
After the ceremony, Yue Gu walked out of the house.
At this time, Cang Hai was sitting on the stone with his legs crossed. When he saw the people coming, he smiled and said, "Sister Yue Gu, I have to say, the scenery here is really nice."
"Why are you so poor? Just like your fat teammate." Yue Gu smiled and asked casually, "Hey, where are the others?"
"It's convenient for him to go out. Lazy people pee a lot. Look at his virtues. Hey." After teasing the fat man, Cang Hai also teased Yue Gu, "Speaking of you, why are you so talkative? I feel like you are like the old man. Like a witch."
"Hey, am I as old as you said?" Yuegu smiled for a while, then sighed, "It's really comfortable to communicate with outsiders, especially a handsome guy like you. But after staying here for a long time, I do feel a little confused. Nagging."
"Hey, I didn't expect that my sister is also a sweetheart." Cang Hai continued to tease, then changed the subject, with a curious look on his face, and asked, "But what were you doing just now? I'm quite curious. of."
Yue Gu hesitated for a while, her eyes wandered for a moment, and then she said calmly: "A friend of the clan suddenly contracted hysteria. The clan members thought he was possessed by the devil, so they tried to get rid of it."
Cang Hai thought to himself: This is obviously a deliberate attempt to conceal the truth. Forget it, we can’t ask too directly, and it’s inconvenient to get to the bottom of it.
He still pretended to be curious and chatted: "Do you believe in this weird thing?"
"There is no other way. We have to respect the folk customs. This has been the case here since ancient times." Yuegu looked a little complicated and left immediately, "You go ahead and work first, I will take a rest."
Yuegu walked through the crowd, stayed for a while, and whispered something to a few tribesmen.
Her expression was serious, as if she was discussing something. Then the tribesmen nodded, and Yue Gu walked into a wooden house.
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Cang Hai didn't stop any longer. He walked slowly behind the tree, sat next to the fat man, and said softly:
"I tested her, but she was obviously lying. She must have some secret."
He frowned with a serious expression at this time, and then said thoughtfully, "If Peng Lin was rescued by them like us, there is obviously no need to lie to us."
"It makes sense. Then what?" Fatty agreed.
He immediately thought of something and asked the fat man: "Have you noticed anything unusual since you have been observing here for so long?"
The fat man said softly: "No one has ever entered that house. Just listen to the noise. There is not much movement in the house."
"It's strange. Logically speaking, if a person is tied up, he should at least call for help." Cang Hai looked complicated, and after being silent for a long time, he said in surprise: "Unless he is not completely conscious."
When the fat man heard this, he suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
At this moment, a man from the Rob tribe came over. He was holding a wooden tray with two grilled dried fish and a piece of naan-like food on it.
The man said softly: "Axi..."
Although the two people didn't understand, they understood that it meant they were allowed to eat. They looked at each other, pretended to be relaxed, took it with a smile, and put it on the ground.
The strange thing is that this man had no intention of leaving. He looked at the two of them and said again: "Axi..."
The man's words were much more serious.
The two looked at each other and pretended to be calm.
The fat man thought to himself: Damn, maybe he was drugged.
Cang Hai thought: There might be something wrong with this food.
Cang Hai stared at the fat man, picked up the tray, and said word for word: "Eat... come... eat... something... something..."
The fat man understood. The two took a bite of the grilled fish, made swallowing gestures, and took another bite.
While eating, he smiled and said:
"Delicious."
“The food of the world.”
The man saw the two of them eating, then turned and left.
Before he could go far, the fat man quickly vomited it out. Asked in a low voice: "What should we do next?"
Cang Hai quickly buried the fish meat spit out by the two people into the sand, then lay down on the ground, pretending to be unconscious.
The fat man thought to himself: Fatty, I want to see what they are doing.
Then he fell to the ground in the same pattern.
