Fatty basically told Wang Lin about the previous events, but he only gave a rough outline, and there were many details that he did not elaborate on.
So Wang Lin called the fat man again and interrogated him carefully about the details.
After interrogating everything, Wang Lin sorted out the information he knew and concluded three doubts:
First, why did Yuegu and others want to arrest Peng Lin, and why did they deal with Peng Lin like this?
Secondly, is Peng Lin the "Peng Jiamu" they are looking for, or did "Peng Jiamu" have any adventure that allowed him to recover?
Thirdly, why did the helicopter that crashed and the two soldiers and vehicles searched in area #1 disappear on the ground?
At noon, Wang Lin spent half a day thinking about these issues. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a preliminary plan.
So he walked quickly towards the medical room.
------------------
In the medical room, Yue Gu was out of danger, and Cang Hai had also woken up.
Peng Lin, a middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, also opened his eyes and woke up. He looked at the crowds of people in the room and was quite afraid. He asked softly: "Who are you? Why am I here?"
"Comrade Peng Lin, you are finally awake." Wang Lin happened to arrive at this time and greeted with concern. He walked quickly and reached out to shake hands with Peng Lin. Peng Lin's right hand was exposed outside the quilt, avoiding his greeting.
"Who is Peng Lin? I...my name is not Peng Lin." Peng Lin looked frightened and said, "My name is Peng Jiamu."
Cang Hai asked in confusion: "Comrade Peng Lin, what are you talking about?"
Then he turned his head to look at Wang Lin. At this time, Wang Lin looked complicated and thoughtful, but he was not surprised.
"If you want to kill or behead, just do it directly. Who are you showing off to show off?" Peng Lin suddenly roared.
Cang Hai looked at the doctor, who was also quite puzzled. He thought to himself: It must be that he was stimulated by something. Could he have lost his memory or gone crazy?
When the doctor was about to speak, Wang Lin waved his hand to stop him, and then said calmly: "Don't worry, we don't mean any harm. We saved you. If we had harmed you, would you still be alive today?"
Peng Lin calmed down at this time. After thinking carefully, he thought it made sense, and then calmed down.
It was obvious that nothing could be asked about this situation. Wang Lin was afraid of irritating him, so he said calmly, "Comrade Peng Lin, please take your time to cultivate yourself. We will talk in detail when you recover."
Then he looked at Cang Hai and said: "Cang Hai, come with me."
------------------
When the two returned to the office, Wang Lin closed the door himself and pulled the door lock with his backhand.
Then he said: "I called you here to ask about Yue Gu. Please tell me what you know about her. It must be more detailed."
Cang Hai told Wang Lin everything he knew, including what Yue Gu had dictated.
The priestess, an aboriginal, fluent in Mandarin, went out to study, pretended to be a ghost, but in turn saved Cang Hai... Why is this thing so illogical? What is it that they don't know?
Wang Lin thought about these clues carefully, and they became more and more incomprehensible.
Cang Hai was also confused at this time. He didn't know what Wang Lin meant by asking him these things.
Wang Lin was also considering whether to tell Cang Hai the truth. After all, he couldn't leave and had to take care of team affairs.
He pondered for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry. I'm just curious about asking you this, especially since I'm very curious about why they kidnapped Comrade Peng Lin and why they did this to him."
"This is also where Fatty and I are confused." Cang Hai immediately agreed.
Wang Lin pondered for a while and said, "Now that you have a delicate relationship with Yue Gu, you can be considered a life-and-death acquaintance. Why don't you go and find out what's going on? Go ahead and be careful not to be too direct."
Cang Hai accepted the order and pushed the door open.
After he walked away, Wang Lin immediately called and said, "Old Cui, help me check two people. I have their blood samples here to see if I can find out anything."
Wang Lin immediately walked to the medical room, called out a few medical soldiers, and asked them to push Peng Lin around, intending to provide an environment for Cang Hai and Yue Gu to be alone.
------------------
At this time, Cang Hai was sitting next to Yue Gu in the medical room, peeling an apple for her.
"This is a rare item. Materials are scarce now. The leader personally approved this fruit. There are only a dozen of them." Cang Hai said.
Yue Gu took the apple and started eating it. When she was almost finished, she threw the core into the trash can. Then he smiled and said, "It's delicious."
Cang Hai was a little surprised. In this era of material poverty, fruit was quite a rare thing. When he ate it, he wanted to swallow the core of the fruit. Now Yue Gu was in the desolate Gobi desert, so why was she so wasteful? There was still a lot of pulp on the discarded fruit core.
Yue Gu looked at Cang Hai looking at him, thinking she was asking about her feelings, and then said: "This fruit looks similar to the 'Alema' I ate before, but it is much sweeter and bigger."
Cang Hai asked curiously: "What is this 'Alema'?"
Yue Gu's eyes were blurred at this time, as if she was remembering the long past. The corners of her eyes were slightly moist, and she said slowly: "It is also a kind of fruit. It bears fruit every autumn. The trees are densely covered with fruits. When I was a child, my brother and I used to pick them. Come and eat. He often climbed up a tree to pick it, and once he accidentally dropped it, which really shocked the whole family. But the core was big and astringent. We often used it to make fruit wine, and my mother was the best. I like drinking that.”
Then Yue Gu's eyes dimmed, looking rather sad, and she said in a deep voice: "Hey, why are I telling you this?"
When Cang Hai heard this, he thought to himself: She was probably talking about Xinjiang wild apples.
This wild apple mostly grows in the Yili and Zhungar areas in the west of the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. It is a well-known wild fruit species in Xinjiang. However, it is not suitable for direct consumption. Its taste is sweet and astringent, which is different from the current apples, so it is often made into fruits. Drink with wine or juice.
Cang Hai's doubts disappeared at this time, and he had new doubts, and asked: "Hasn't my sister lived in Lop Nur since she was a child?"
After hearing this, Yuegu had complicated thoughts, and then sighed and said calmly: "I was perfunctory with you before. I am not a native of Lop Nur. I have lived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain since I was a child. Later, I entered Lop Nur by mistake and married the leader."
Cang Hai thought: That's it.
Then he asked curiously: "What about your relatives, sister? From what you said, don't you have a younger brother?"
Yue Gu looked sad, thought for a long time, and said sadly: "Dead."
Cang Hai immediately felt that Yue Gu was in a depressed state, and felt quite sorry, so it was inconvenient to ask more questions. Then he comforted: "It's all my brother's fault for bringing up my sister's sad past."
Yue Gu smiled in relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's all in the past."
She then looked at Cang Hai, her eyes were quite affectionate, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she whispered: "But, the way he looked back then was so similar to you now."
Cang Hai finally revealed the doubts in his heart. Why did Yue Gu block an arrow for him? It turned out to be because he thought of his younger brother.
At this time, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, so he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Hey, I will be your brother from now on. You picked up a brother for nothing, why don't you just enjoy it secretly."
Yue Gu looked at his playful yet serious look and burst out laughing, all the wrinkles on her face relaxing.
Only then did Cang Hai think of business. He was just chatting, so he pretended to be curious and asked: "Sister, where did you meet Peng Lin and why did you want to take him back?"
When Yue Gu heard this, her eyes were complicated. She paused for a moment before answering: "Why do you ask this?"
Cang Hai smiled and said, "I'm just curious."
Yue Gu hesitated for a moment and said nothing. Then she covered the wound on her arm with her hand and said urgently: "Brother, I feel so much pain. Go and call the doctor quickly."
Cang Hai had no choice but to press the question any further, so he quickly went out to look for someone.
Yue Gu looked at his leaving back with complicated eyes.
As evening approaches, the wind howls, sweeping away sand and dust, blowing through the Populus euphratica forest, making a "wow" sound. This Populus euphratica forest swaying in the wind is just like Yuegu's mentality at this time, full of helplessness.
