Chapter 9: Contradictions(1/2)

Only one person can get out!

I said, "Why do you say that?"

Huang Xi smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, then just treat it as nonsense."

I said, "Did you find out that Zhang Hui has any problems?"

He said: "No."

I said, "Just say whatever you have! This involves the safety of 11 people!"

He said, "I have said everything I should say. I'm leaving, take care of you."

Huang Xi really withdrew.

He left the convoy and returned to Korla along the highway, and then to Hami, where he would return to Shandong.

The convoy has 5 cars left.

I asked everyone to stop, gather on the road, and told them the news.

Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

Wei spoke earlier: "Two×!"

Unexpectedly, this veteran was so tempered.

Then, he said angrily: "Retreat at the last minute, isn't this a distraction of the army's morale?"

I said, "I won't say anything anymore, I'll come and go voluntarily. I'm fine with Juye, where are you?"

Bai Xinxin said: "Even if you quit, I will continue."

The outsider said: "I will continue to do it too."

Zhang Hui said: "I'll continue."

Xu Ergo said: "I'll continue."

Wei Zao said: "Even if I'm the only one left, I'll go."

Bubu said: "I'm fine."

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "Everyone goes, I'll go."

Yiwu nodded at me.

I said, "Get up!"

From this place, we left the road and rushed towards the vast Gobi Desert. The breath of death appeared faintly, and my heart rose again.

The first car was Wei Zaohe's guide.

The second car was Bubu and Xuergo.

The third car is Meng Xiaoshuai, Outside the Honest and Four-Eyes.

The fourth car was Bai Xinxin and Yiwu.

The last car was me, Liu Juer and Zhang Hui. I drove the Land Rover Defender, white.

The hard road is gone, and occasionally two ruts can be seen on the Gobi Desert, intermittently, and disappear as we walked. We saw an unclaimed truck, which was blown by the strong wind on the side of the road. For many years, there was almost no color, the glass was broken, and the four tires were flat.

I paid special attention to it, there were no bones in the car.

Juice was holding up his cell phone and taking pictures.

Zhang Hui sat in the back seat and didn't say anything.

The back of my head and I were under Zhang Hui's monitoring. But we couldn't see his expression or movements.

I stopped the car and turned around and said, "Zhang Hui, you can change it with the juice."

Liu Xueer said, "Why?"

I said: "The co-pilot is not safe, protect women."

After hearing this, Zhang Hui quickly said "Oh", opened the car door and jumped out.

Liu Yuer was not polite, she said, "Then I'll go to the back seat to sleep."

I said, "There is a blanket, cover it."

Liu Xueer said, "Your blanket? Then forget it."

Liu Yuer took her bag to the back seat, and Zhang Hui and I sat side by side in front.

Continue to move forward.

We have not entered Lop Nur yet.

There was no people on the Gobi Desert. But a row of low and crooked earthen houses appeared very far away, called earthen nests, half on the ground and half underground. I don’t know if it was the iron miners or the prisoners.

This is the last human house we see.

The wind in the Gobi Desert became heavier and heaved, making the car a little floating.

I said, "Zhang Hui, let's chat."

He said, "Okay."

I said, "Which school did you graduate?"

He said: "Provincial Justice School."

I said, "Can you tell the story of prison? Tell the gods."

"In fact, working in prison is boring," he said.

I said, "It seems mysterious to outsiders."

He said: "There are two prisoners in our prison. Before they came in, they were in the same county town, one was Nanbatian and the other was Beibatian. One day, in order to grab the territory, they led dozens of brothers to fight, and the ground was covered with blood. In the end, all the brothers ran away, and the two of them were left to fight to the decisive battle. Nanbatian cut off Beibatian's nose, and Beibatian bit off one of Nanbatian's ears. After they were sentenced, they were sent to our prison. When they were released, the two could not meet. As long as they met, they immediately rushed together like mad dogs, fighting with each other, and they could not even pull them away..."

I said, "Water is in the heads of both of them."

He said: "Some prisoners stay in prison all year round. They are too lonely and create games to spend time. What are the many in prison? There are many rats. They catch the mice, break their legs, or poke their eyes blind, and watch them limp and bump around, seeking happiness. I have seen two rats, one of them is broken and the other is blind. The lame mouse leads the way in front, and the blind mouse bites its tail and follows behind. I guess they are a pair..."

I said, "It's quite sad."

He continued: "There was a prisoner who was an official who had an affair with a second-rate star. He embezzled and accepted bribes for her and was arrested. After coming in, he performed very well. One day, he suddenly went crazy and fought with another prisoner. Everyone later learned that the other prisoner turned out to be a coal boss. He was sentenced to involve gangs. That day, the coal boss accidentally talked about the second-rate star, and he said that it was one of his lovers. The official was furious because the other party desecrated his only spiritual pillar, so the two started fighting like children..."

I turned to look at him and smiled meaningfully: "Why are you talking about the prisoner's affairs, but there is no prison guard's affairs?"

He was stunned and said, "Okay, I'll tell you a very stern colleague..."

I said, "It doesn't matter, it's still the prisoner's story that is pleasant to hear. Can you tell me another chapter?"

He was stunned: "Who?"

I said, "It's the fugitive you mentioned."

He laughed out loud: "Boss Zhou, you have such a strong memory!... It's a pity that he and I are alumni, and they also studied in the provincial judicial school, but they were fired later."

I said, "Who did he kill?"

Zhang Hui said: "His girlfriend's mother. The woman did not agree to her daughter's relationship with him. He drank some wine and wanted to talk to the woman. Unexpectedly, the woman's words were too ugly and stimulated him. The two of them fought together. He knocked the woman's head into the heating and hung up."

I suddenly said, "Do your family know that you are here in Lop Nur?"

He thought for a while and said, "They knew I was out for a trip, but they didn't know I was coming to Lop Nur. I was afraid they would worry."

I said, "I think you should call your unit and your family and report your safety."

He said: "My phone is in my backpack and I lost it. It doesn't matter, I won't call it."

I looked at him again: "Your phone is lost, too?"

He said: "After walking out of Lop Nur, I will buy a new one."

I took out my phone and handed it to him: "You use mine."

He said: "Thank you, no need."

I turned my face and stared at him aggressively, keeping my phone holding up: "After entering Lop Nur, we lost contact with the outside world. Maybe for many days, don't you think you should call them?"

He looked into my eyes, obviously thinking about my intention.

Finally, he took the call.

I grabbed the steering wheel with both hands.

He hesitated for a moment and started dialing.

The light of my eyes was closely watching him.

He raised his cell phone and spoke, "…hey?"

I tried hard to listen to the sound on my phone. The car was too bumpy and the engine was too loud to hear clearly.

Zhang Hui: "Dad, I am Zhang Hui!"

The other party seemed to ask back: "Are you Zhang Hui?" It was the voice of a man about 50 years old.

Zhang Hui: "It's me, I'm in Xinjiang now!"
