The driver was the American whose name Ryuji Zuoda didn't know. Hearing this, he turned to look at Wuershan and said in substandard Mandarin: "What? You know how to drive this thing?" Wuershan was cold. He looked at the American and said in the same tone: "What? Are you the only one who can drive this thing?" The American was obviously unhappy when he heard what Wuershan said, and grinned and said: "Old guy, I'll tell you Said... don't show off, you will lead us people into a ditch later! Okay... let's tell you your way honestly!" After the American said this, he took it from his coat pocket. He took out a cigar and prepared to light it.
But as soon as his fire was lit, it was extinguished by Wu Ershan beside him. The American immediately shouted: "Old guy, what do you want to do?" The expression on Wuershan's face was still cold, and he said calmly: "I will drive the next road!" The American just heard this He wanted to curse, but was stopped by Muto who was sitting in the back. Muto said calmly: "Since Mr. Wu can drive, let Mr. Wu drive the rest of the way! After all, the people around here are He is more familiar with Tao'er than you!" Although the American was very angry, since Muto had spoken, he had nothing to say anymore. He cursed in English, parked the car aside, and left the driver's seat. , Wu Ershan came to drive instead.
According to the records in Zuoda Ryuji's diary, nothing special happened in the next few days.
The guide Wu Ershan was very familiar with that area. The seven of them drove almost without stopping for three days and two nights. After passing through countless stretches of Gobi, they finally arrived at a small village in the evening. .
In fact, it is said to be a village, but in fact it is just a dozen scattered families. Wu Ershan did not drive the van directly into the village, but slowly stopped at the entrance of the village.
In the 1960s, objects like cars were rare, so when they saw a car coming, a few children at the entrance of the village screamed happily, and it felt as if a UFO had arrived in the village.
After Wu Ershan parked the car, he walked slowly to one of the fat boys, and said to the fat boy: "Hey, baby... is your Mr. Ma in the village?" The fat boy raised his eyes and looked up. Wu Ershan said: "Are you looking for Grandpa Ma?" Wu Ershan nodded and said: "Yes!" The fat boy said: "Then you came at an unlucky time..." Wu Ershan asked: " What's wrong? Isn't your Grandpa Ma here?"
"Yeah!" The fat boy nodded in agreement. Wu Ershan asked: "Where has he gone?" The fat boy said: "Grandpa Ma Tai has gone..."
"Ma Bao'er...!" As soon as the big fat boy said this, he suddenly remembered a voice not far behind him, followed by two middle-aged men running out of the village.
I saw that these two people were not tall, their skin was dark and shiny, not fat, and their bodies were covered in tendons. They were obviously trained by doing farm work in the fields.
The man who spoke before was slightly taller, with a big square face and a big mouth under his slender eyes. At first glance, this man looked like a big toad that had turned into a spirit.
The two men ran out of the village panting, with a fierce look in their eyes. They were obviously wary of Wu Ershan and his group.
When the two men came closer, they saw clearly that the person talking to the big fat boy was Wu Ershan Hou. Not only did their guarded mood not calm down, but they sneered at Wu Ershan and said, "Who did I think...it turned out to be Old Man Wu. Ah!" Wu Ershan frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Boy Ma, are you talking to your old man's friend like this? Do you have any rules?" The middle-aged man who looked like a big toad Hearing this, the man snorted coldly and said: "We are all foxes of thousands of years, so let's stop pretending to be idle here! I mean, Old Man Wu, since you got the news so quickly... and brought so many outsiders to our place. , isn't it just for the things buried under the ruins?" Wuershan was stunned by the toad-like guy. He frowned slightly at first, and then said slowly: "News? What news? Then What else is buried under the ruins?" The toad-like guy snorted coldly when he heard this and said, "Okay! Old man Wu, you really should stop pretending here! People die for money, and birds die for food! This matter We all understand, I don’t blame you, nor do I blame you! It’s just that you can’t get a share of the pie!” Wu Ershan became more and more confused as he listened, and hurriedly said: “Boy Ma, I think there may be some misunderstanding here. ! I came here this time not for the things you are talking about, I just want to see your grandpa..." The guy who looked like a toad was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to ask: "You are not Come for the ruins?" Wu Ershan shook his head and said, "No!" The guy asked again, "You just want to come to my grandpa?" Wu Ershan nodded and said, "That's right!" Then The guy asked again: "Why are you looking for my grandfather?" Wuershan said in a deep voice: "I just want to ask Mr. Ma about something!" The guy asked: "What is the matter?" Wuershan looked at the long man The toad-like guy said in a deep voice: "Boy Ma, I want to ask about your old lady, but it seems it's not your turn to ask."
"You..." The toad-like guy heard this and pointed his finger at Wuershan, but just as he was about to curse, he heard a person not far behind him shouting: "Ma San... Ma Three...it's not good! Something big happened!" The toad-like guy turned around when he heard the sound, and saw a bald middle-aged man running towards him in a hurry, shouting as he ran: " Not good! Ma San... something happened to your old man!" Hearing that something happened to the old man of the Ma family, not only Ma San was stunned, but even Wu Ershan beside him was also shocked.
Before Ma San could answer, Wu Ershan rushed forward, grabbed the bald man, and asked, "What's going on? What happened to the old man of the Ma family?" The bald man didn't know Wu Ershan's origins, and he acted abruptly. When asked like this, he didn't know whether to say something or not. He first looked at Wu Ershan, then turned to look at Ma San next to him. His expression seemed to be asking: "Where is this guy?" Did he come out of nowhere? Who is he?" Seeing that the bald man looked at him without speaking, Ma San became a little anxious and shouted at him: "Didn't you fucking hear what he was asking you? You should have said it. ?What happened to our old man?"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!" When the bald man heard what Ma San said, he nodded vigorously and said, "That's right... your old man is trapped in the underground cellar!"
