Chapter 28: Children(1/2)
I said, "Don't move in the same place, I'll go find it." As I said, walking towards my car.
Liu Xueer said, "Where are you looking for?"
I pointed to the east, which was the direction where the sandstorm left.
She said, "I'll go with you!"
Before I could say anything, she had already run over and got into the car.
Half of the wheels were buried in sand and soil. Everyone brought engineer shovels and dug dozens of meters away. I drove the car to a higher place. The sand and soil were thinner and I could barely walk.
Wei Zao ran over and said, "I'll go too."
I looked at him and said, "Give him the knife to Bubu."
Wei Zao thought about it, took out the knife and stuffed it into Bubu's hand.
I said to Liu Xueer, "Liu Xueer, put your knife in Bubu."
Liu Juer was stunned for a moment, took out her knife from her bag, got out of the car and walked to Bubu, and handed it to her.
Then, all three of us got into the car. Siyan seemed to know what we were going to do, so she ran over and circled around the car.
I opened the car door and said, "Go up."
Four eyes jumped up, and it and Wei Zao sat in the back seat.
I looked at my phone and it was 8:55.
After the car started, Bubu shouted: "Don't go too far!"
I said, "Don't worry."
The windshield was covered with sand and soil. I wiped it with a wiper several times and finally I could see clearly what was happening ahead. We slowly left the camp and went to find the outside world.
No matter what, we are all missing one person.
Maybe, this is the beginning.
Looking back on all the unknown signs, what I should have thought of was that something would happen to this trip. It started from the beginning that everyone was one day late. However, except for Huang Xi, who had withdrawn from the team from Korla, everyone was as if they were possessed and were determined to go their separate ways.
We walked very slowly and drove about 5 kilometers. The eyes of the three people kept searching everywhere, without leaving a single stone. Four eyes also looked out the window. There was no trace of people in the vast salt-shelled land. Looking back, we could no longer see our convoy.
I became more and more desperate as I walked, and a bit sinful intuition developed in my heart: I couldn't find him. He was not shaved away by a sandstorm, but he took advantage of the cover of the sandstorm and sneaked away.
We looked forward for about 5 kilometers, and Wei Zao shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Bubu, can you hear it?"
The walkie-talkie squeaked, and no one replied.
He shouted again: "Hey! I am Wei Zao! Can you hear it?"
No one replied to the walkie-talkie.
Wei Zao said: "Boss Zhou, we have walked too far and we can't go any further. Let's follow the cart prints."
Liu Xueer also said: "Bubu has a satellite phone, let's go back and call for rescue."
I looked around, without any hope, so I turned around.
The juice suddenly started to suck.
I looked at her and said, "You have to be strong after entering Lop Nur."
She choked and said, "It's light! A living person, if he says nothing, he will be gone..."
I said, "Don't worry, we will definitely find him."
Liu Jinger said, "Go and go, lie to your daughter!"
After pausing for a while, Wei Zao whispered: "Boss Zhou, would you say that you were getting into Bubu tent?..."
I didn't want to listen to his reasoning at all, and immediately interrupted him: "We are not qualified to talk about who is more suspicious. The three of us are not yet separated from our relationship."
Wei hasn't said anything anymore.
Juye wiped his tears and said, "Boss Zhou, I don't think we can doubt each other. In that case, everyone in the whole team will be in danger. After all, it will take several days for us to get out. Maybe this situation is what the person behind the scenes hopes."
I said, "Do you have a better way?"
Liu Xueer said: "I think there is no problem with the three of us, so we should unite and be similar to a security team, so that the positive energy will be strong."
I said, "You said that none of us has any problems. Is there any evidence? There is no evidence, is there any reason?"
Liu Xueer said: "I am a girl and I am a perverted murderer. Don't you think this joke is cold?"
I said, "Where is him?"
Liu Xueer said: "Wei has been at the forefront and worked hard to lead the way for everyone. Only he can barely communicate with the guide for us. If he wanted to harm everyone, he would have led us astray!"
I said, "Where is me?"
Liu Yuer said, "Of course you are fine. I sleep in a tent with you. I heard it very clearly. You ran out of the tent when Bubu shouted."
I said, "Then I tell you, although I sleep with you in the same tent, but when I rushed out, the tent was very dark, and I can't prove whether you were in the tent."
Then, I looked at Wei Zao from the rearview mirror: "How can you rule out that Wei Zao and that guide are not in the same group? The guide is contacted by him. We don't know if he is a Rob and whether he will speak. If a person wants to have no loopholes, the best way is to pretend to be deaf and dumb. We don't know what Wei Zao had to do with this person before coming to Lop Nur."
Then I said to me: "I'm more likely. You guys are all recruited by me. Why should I do this?"
Liu Yuer said blankly: "You are too sinister."
I continued, “No matter how much I say it, my true thought is that the person behind this is not in our team.”
Liu Xueer said, "What do you want to do after rummaging over and over again? Are you playing with me?"
Wei Zao whispered: "Is that...haunted?"
I said, "I'm not sure."
After a while, Liu Xueer suddenly said, "You should tell Wei Zao fortune."
I didn't understand what she meant for a moment.
Wei Zao said: "What's the fate?"
Liu Jinger said: "You just want 7 Chinese characters, there is no connection."
Wei Zao thought about it and said, "Work, live, relatives, Di, Qi, Mian, must."
Liu Juer stared at me: "What do these 7 words mean?"
I know what she means, and she hopes that I can understand Wei Zao’s heart through fortune telling.
I said, "He has always been quite ordinary, but he is unwilling to be ordinary. He is always eager to try and hopes to get recognition from others through his own efforts. In the end, he will become depressed and just live."
Wei Zao said: "Can you explain it?"
I said, "Look at the words you choose, the first, the third, and the fifth are all the ones in the four tones, with regular strokes and straight pronunciations. The second, the fourth, and the sixth are all the twos in the four tones, with restless strokes and rising pronunciations. The last word, your ambition is dead."
Wei Zao said: "It seems a bit right. I was very active when I was in the army. After I was discharged from the army, I became more and more lazy and had no energy to do anything."
I said this, but there was another answer in my heart - this person always wanted to get rid of mediocrity, but failed repeatedly, so he hated society. There was a knife hidden in his heart.
Why do you think the fortune teller is so murderous? It is likely that the neighbor's psychology of stealing the axe is at work.
As we approached the camp, Siyan suddenly shouted out the window, and Wei Zao shouted: "Be honest!"
The four eyes didn't listen and screamed even more fiercely.
I said, "You look for it, has it seen something?"
Wei Zao and Liu Xueer looked around, and Wei Zao said, "There is nothing!"
Four eyes became manic, and they scratched the door hard while screaming.
I said, "There must be a problem, please take a look."
Liu Yuer suddenly shouted: "Extra!"
I was shocked: "Where is it?"
Liu Xueer pointed at the car window next to her: "It's there! Have you seen it? There is a figure there!"
I poked my head and looked along her fingers. There was indeed something shaking in the distance.
My heart was pounding with excitement, and I quickly drove towards the thing.
The thing was getting closer and closer, and he was about 1 km away from our camp.
I drove and gradually slowed down the car.
Four eyes kept screaming.
Liu Xueer said, "What's wrong with you? Open it quickly!"
I said, "Look, is that an out of the box?"
The two of them stared at the thing and stopped talking.
That thing is very short, more like an animal. There is no possibility of any kind of life on Lop Nur. If it is not a living thing, it is obviously moving slowly.
In addition, the outside was wearing a gray hoodie, and the thing seemed to be wearing no clothes, and was yellowish-brown, which was very close to the color of the desert, and you would not see it without paying attention.
At this time, I suddenly regretted letting Wei Zao leave the knife in the camp.
