Is it because of the wind and sand? Is it a dream? Or a mirage? Didn't I read it wrong? Is that really Xiaoxuan? She arrived before me?
In the wind and sand, under the sunset.
The moment I saw Xiaoxuan waving her hands hard at me! I didn't hesitate, I yelled and ran towards her!
One hundred meters, ten meters.
"Haha! It's really you, Xiaoxuan! I miss you so much!"
I was so excited that I picked her up and spun her around several times!
As a result, the sand under my feet was too soft, so I accidentally fell while holding her.
I quickly pulled Xiaoxuan up and helped her pat the dust off her clothes.
"When did you arrive! Have you seen Brother Bean Sprout, Fish Brother and the others!"
Xiaoxuan said happily: "I'm here early! Bean sprouts are here too! Yunfeng, you're here too! Now we are all the only ones left, Baotou and Brother Yu!"
"Where is Douyazai? Why didn't I see him?" I asked hurriedly.
"Do you still remember Aji from the Hute tribe? Dou Sprout followed Aji in their tribe! The Hute pastoral area is about ten kilometers away from us!" Xiaoxuan said.
It turned out that because Xiaoxuan had no home to return to, he traveled around alone and arrived in Yinchuan half a month ago. At that time, I was still hanging out with Diode in Beijing, and Bean Sprouts returned to Zhoushan to see his stepmother. Came to Yinchuan on the 9th.
Xiaoxuan blamed me: "It's true that you haven't called me for such a long time. I never got through when I called you. I don't even know where you are or how you are doing."
Although the tone was blaming, Xiaoxuan's words were full of concern for my current situation. I am not a stone-hearted person, so how could I not be touched? If I were to say which woman in the world cares about me the most, it might be Xiaoxuan.
Alxa has buried our old memories, and revisiting our old place makes our noses sore for a while. .
I smiled and said, "How dare you contact me? During this period, I don't even dare to go to the bank to withdraw money. If I am secretly targeted by a hater, then me contacting you is not equivalent to harming you."
"What are you afraid of!"
Xiaoxuan frowned and said, "I'm not afraid of anyone! The worst we can do is die together!"
"Okay, aunt! Don't mention death at all times. None of us will die, and we will all be fine!"
"Any news?"
Xiaoxuan shook her head slowly.
I frowned and thought to myself: "There are less than two days left before the agreed gathering time. If we don't come by then, what will we do? Should we continue to defend here in the mine, or should we find other ways."
There is no electronic signal in the Alxa Desert and it is completely isolated from the world. We are safe here. Xiaoxuan lit a bunch of grass and dry branches on fire. At night, the light of the fire was very obvious.
Xiaoxuan explained that this was the signal she had agreed with Dou Sprout that Dou Sprout would come over as soon as he saw the light of the fire. Sure enough, I saw Dou Sprout in the early morning of the next day.
"Haha! Fengzi! I miss you so much!"
After some fighting, Dou Yazai said worriedly: "Why hasn't Baotou come yet? Fengzi, tell me, has something happened to Baotou? If Baotou is really caught, will we have to branch out on the spot like in Journey to the West?" plum."
I yelled at Dou Sprout that he was like a dog that couldn't spit out ivory.
Soon September 1st came, and the three of us sat from day to night, looking in one direction, expecting a miracle to happen.
At night, my mood dropped. Is it really like Dou Sprout said that we should divide the luggage?
At around nine o'clock, suddenly, a beam of light appeared in the distance. It was the light of a flashlight.
My nervous heart jumped into my throat.
I gradually saw clearly that it was a man walking towards me with a stick.
The distance is getting closer.
That man was like a light in the darkness to me.
Even if the silhouette of that person turned into ashes, I could still recognize it, it was his head!
"Head!" We ran to meet him.
"Haha, Yunfeng, Yazai, Xiaoxuan, you are all here."
He took off his hat, revealing his white hair.
It’s been a while since I last saw him, my head has been weathered a lot, and I feel like there are a lot more wrinkles on his forehead.
"Don't cry, you are no longer children, why are your eyes red?"
"Head! I thought you were caught by the old scholar!"
With red eyes, Dou Yazai stepped forward and hugged Baotou, rubbing his nose and tears on Baotou.
I had too many questions to ask, but before I could ask them, I raised my head and said, "Don't worry, the fact that I can get here proves that I have won."
"Boss, is the old scholar dead?" I asked.
With a calm expression on his face, he said: "He's not dead, but it's more uncomfortable to be alive than to be dead. The relevant departments will never trust him, and he will no longer have any real power in his hands."
"How did you do it! What happened to the tunnel digging in Changsha Museum? Boss, you asked me to pay attention to the newspapers! But I didn't find any news!"
The leader said: "Little Gopher and Mr. Hu have gone in. There is little hope of coming out in this life."
I was shocked.
In! Didn't that matter come to light?
He said with a serious look on his head: "The two of them were supposed to be sacrificed in my planned plan. After the tunnel was opened, we took two cultural relics from the warehouse. The relationship between Xiao Kai and the old scholar was like a father and son. Millions of stolen money and two stolen items The cultural relics are in the hands of Xiaokai's family, and coupled with the testimony of Little Gopher and Mr. Hu after they were caught, the old scholar cannot wash away the stains on his body even if he jumps into the Yellow River."
The boss's tone was relaxed and calm, but I was frightened when I heard it!
It turns out that making the Mawangdui rubbings for Master Yu was just a fool. He was going in a big circle from north to south, forcing himself to pour shit on the old scholar! This is frame-up.
Don't forget, the old scholar was originally a northern tomb robber, but he was later recruited and given a position. His profile is half black and half white. It is rumored that some people in the system have long suspected whether the old scholar will make the same mistake again.
The key point is that the entire series of events does not seem to be man-made, but happened naturally at a certain point in time.
Not only that, but through the narration I learned that Changsha tomb robber King Luo Ye also secretly helped this time! A group of tomb robbers happened to be "taken out" in those two days! After the investigation, it was found that everyone in this group had direct or indirect interactions with the old scholar forces.
I quickly asked: "Little Gopher and Mr. Hu shouldn't know about this beforehand, right?"
Tell me you don't know.
"Then how could they be willing..."
The leader said: "Meng Chang did it. They have family members. Although I didn't want to do it originally, there is no other way. The old scholar loves calligraphy and rubbings. He had an encounter with Mr. Hu in his early years, so he has been my default candidate for a long time. .”
The boss said again: "Yunfeng, you have to understand that this is a multi-point joint killing bureau. The theft of the museum is one point, the dedicated help of brothers Luo Ye in Changsha is another point, and Xiao Kai's place is another point."
He looked up at the night sky and continued: "A centipede is dead but not stiff. These three points may not be enough for that old centipede. Fortunately, I buried that centipede three years ago." The last point is in this desert, which is one of the reasons why I asked you to gather here."
At this time, Dou Yazai said excitedly: "You have said so much, Baotou! I didn't understand a word! What about this and that! You want to set fire to Baotou!"
I thought about it and asked doubtfully: "You mean the last time I returned to Blackwater City?"
The boss did not explain, but asked us to put on more clothes, bring water and a flashlight and follow him.
It was getting late now, and there was a huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert. We didn’t know where we were going, so we just headed deeper into the desert.
Walking on the sand all night long! During this period, we stopped several times to check the direction. Finally, we arrived at the foot of a strange-looking tree.
The trunk of this tree is forked like a big slingshot. Its scientific name is the flower stick tree, and the locals call it the desert girl tree. The tree can be a hundred years old.
With his head looking tired, he circled around the big tree and suddenly pointed to the ground: "It's right here. Dig down one meter and a half deep. There is a box."
We started quickly and found a large wooden box under the tree. It was heavy and had a lock on it.
We dragged the wooden box out, took out the key and tried to open the lock several times.
I was startled.
In the box, there are whole pieces of wooden scriptures and clay sculptures! Gilt saddle! Small bronze Buddha statue and more! There are dozens of pieces, and depending on the style, they look like the cultural relics of Heishui City in Xixia at a glance!
"Boss, this... you..."
The head said: "Yunfeng, think about it. When the old scholar was the person in charge, all the cultural relics from Heishui City were turned over to the warehouse. Now a box is suddenly found. What does it mean?"
Dou Sprout said excitedly: "I know! It means that the old scholar has enriched himself! He secretly hid a box of Blackwater City cultural relics and did not report it!"
The head said: "Go back and contact the Hute Department, and ask them to tell them that their tribesmen accidentally dug up this box of things when they were herding sheep, and ask them to help deliver it to the Cultural Relics Bureau."
He patted my shoulder with his head, and then patted Xiaoxuan's shoulder.
He spoke with sincerity and comforted us: "I know you are very worried during this period, but you will be fine in the future."
