As soon as spring arrives, the ice and snow begin to melt.
The capital also showed a scene of hawks flying and grass growing, and all the working people came out to work.
But it was said that Fatty Wang and Hu Ba started to prepare after returning from Lin Ming's place.
Wang Kaixuan was naturally very excited, but Hu Bayi was never as active as Wang Kaixuan. He always felt half-finished when preparing, as if he had some worries in his heart.
"Fat man, have you really thought about going to Xinjiang with Boss Lin?"
On this day, Fatty Wang was inspecting the equipment needed to touch gold, and Hu Ba said something like this out of the blue.
Fatty Wang immediately became anxious and put down the Luoyang shovel: "Of course I want to go!"
"I said brother, what do you mean?!"
"We have been preparing for this for so long. Don't tell me that this is such a good opportunity and you have to give up."
In the past few years since Hu Ba went to serve as a soldier, Wang Kaixuan has not stayed with him.
But the two of them were already very familiar with each other. Just by seeing Hu Boyi's expression, Fatty could roughly guess what he was thinking. Hu Boyi was hesitant!
"Fat man, do you remember the fire ladybug I told you before?"
Wang Kaixuan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "A ladybug that can spontaneously combust?"
"It's not spontaneous combustion!"
Hu Bayi suddenly became excited: "This ladybug has its own flames. If anyone touches it, it will be burned to ashes."
In fact, Wang Kaixuan was a little skeptical. The trembling and fear in Hu Ba's eyes were not fake.
But this ladybug with blue flames sounded like a fantasy, and even Fatty Wang began to doubt the accuracy of Hu Bayi's memory.
"Brother, that happened many years ago. Maybe you met the mountain god in the mountains and accidentally angered him, so you encountered such strange things."
"Now we are all in the stage of reform and opening up. These things from the Four Olds were destroyed long ago. Don't worry, we will never encounter these things this time!"
Fatty Wang patted his chest: "I, Fatty Wang, guarantee you that nothing will happen to you!"
Hu Bayi silently took out a cigarette from his coat bag, lit it, took a long puff, looked at the fat man and shook his head.
Wang Kaixuan was really worried that Hu Bay would give up as soon as possible.
Just when he was worried, there was the sound of brakes and then two horns outside the yard.
Fatty Wang immediately stood up. These days, only rich people could drive in Beijing. He had long wanted to be rich enough to buy one, so he was very curious.
When I looked around, I saw a hard-top, dual-cab off-road vehicle with a shiny body. It looked like an imported car. Even Fatty had never seen such a car in the capital.
“Damn, that’s a great car, let’s go out and take a look!”
Fatty Wang hurried out and saw Lin Ming already standing in front of the door.
"I go!"
"Boss Lin, this is a rare visitor!"
As soon as he saw Lin Ming, Fatty Wang smiled happily.
However, his attention was still attracted by the car behind Lin Ming. The fat man ran over without hesitation and ran around the cross-country twice.
"Boss Lin, what kind of car is this? I don't think this model is available in Beijing?"
Lin Ming chuckled: "My car is okay!"
Wang Kaixuan nodded immediately. Hu Ba, who had just walked out, was very shocked when he saw them one by one.
"The Mercedes-Benz G-WAGON is not available in China. I asked someone to buy it in a foreign market!"
"What?!"
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he was initially shocked, but when he thought of Lin Ming's current worth, he felt that it was reasonable.
When you buy this foreign luxury car, you have to pay a lot of taxes, and getting the license plate is even more troublesome. It must cost a lot of money, but it is definitely not a big deal to Lin Ming.
After getting excited, Fatty Wang started to say before Lin Ming could say anything: "Boss Lin, our entire tomb robbing team, oh no! The tomb robbing team..."
"Our entire team is very important, but we cannot live without it!"
"But now Comrade Hu Bayi has wavered before he even set out. This is not good for the morale of the army. Boss Lin, it's up to you to persuade him!"
When Lin Ming heard this, he was a little confused: "What's going on?"
"Comrade Hu Bayi, what do you mean by Fatty's words? Is it possible that you are going to defect from our revolutionary ranks?!"
Hu Ba was helpless, so he explained to Lin Ming and told Lin Ming everything about his encounter with the fire ladybug in Xinjiang.
Back then, Hu Bayi was a soldier in the Kunlun Mountains. In order to deliver supplies to his comrades in distant places, he formed a small team and went on the road.
The team had been careful not to cause an avalanche along the way, but they did not expect that an engineer fell to death. They planned to bury the engineer's body, but unexpectedly they dug out some blue bugs in the snow.
These ladybugs looked like blue balls, and they didn't pay much attention to them at first. It wasn't until the bugs flew over that they saw that the bugs looked like red crystals. Their bodies were almost translucent, and they could even see inside the ladybugs' internal organs. , shining with crystal light.
However, as soon as the ladybug touches a person, the person's entire body will be engulfed in blue flames, which will spread at an alarming rate and burn the living person to ashes before they have time to react.
"At that time, the instructor, squad leader, and communications soldier... were all hit, and died of spontaneous combustion in a matter of seconds."
Even after so long, Hu Ba still has lingering fears when he thinks about it.
"Of course, our team suffered heavy losses, and then unfortunately encountered an avalanche. I also survived a narrow escape, otherwise I would have stayed on the glacier forever."
After listening to Hu Bayi's talk again, Wang Kaixuan still had some doubts.
"Boss Lin, my brother will definitely not lie to deceive us! He has no such motive!"
"It's just that I always feel that this fire ladybug sounds very strange. Could it be that Comrade Bayi froze in the snow for too long, and his brain was frozen and hallucinated..."
But Lin Ming shook his head: "Comrade Bayi did not have hallucinations. There is indeed such a creature on Kunlun Mountain!"
"However, this thing is not a fire ladybug, but a Dap ghost bug!"
"Dap ghost bug!?"
Hu Ba's eyes were full of disbelief.
Fatty Wang looked confused: "Boss Lin, do you know this kind of creature?"
Lin Ming nodded.
Wang Kaixuan sat down on the stone steps: "I bet this is true!"
"Boss Lin, since you know the existence of this Dap ghost insect, you should understand the danger of this creature."
"Don't worry, Lao Hu! If I don't have sufficient preparations and a certain degree of certainty, I won't go there rashly."
Lin Ming was still very calm: "Let's not think so much now. Let's get in the car. Let's go meet a few people."
"Boss Lin, who are we going to see?"
"Who else could it be, of course the archaeological team."
