Episode 5: A convoy was robbed while traveling
Before the car had driven far, a convoy of strangers followed closely behind. Changdong had already gone through several plans in his mind. Although he was more confident about the desert terrain, he still drove into a dead end in this situation. At this point, Changdong could only get out of the car to talk to the other party, and told Ye Liuxi to stay in the car and not show up to protect his own safety.
Changdong took a pack of cigarettes and held it up to show that he had no ill intentions. The leader was named Huiba. Hearing that Changdong understood the rules, he naturally did not make things difficult and ordered his subordinates to come forward to negotiate with him. Hui Ba learns that Chang Dong is here to collect corpses, and treats him as someone who does this kind of business. Firstly, the dead are the most important, and secondly, this kind of car has no fuel and water. As long as they are not extremely vicious, they are usually let go.
Huoya was ordered to search the car for some tobacco and alcohol. Ye Liuxi didn’t want to sit back and wait for death, so he decided to take a preemptive strike and leaned out half of his body from the window to ask about the situation. Apparently, her question caught the other party off guard. He glanced at Ye Liuxi for a few times and hurried back to report to Huiba. Then he saw Huiba hurriedly getting out of the car and heading straight to Ye Liuxi with a warm smile on his face. The flattery and flattering West Sister made Changdong and Feitang feel confused.
The car line wound around and finally stopped in front of the big tent in the center of the Yadan community. A light bulb was pulled in the tent, and a group of people gathered around Ye Liuxi and entered the tent, serving delicious food and drinks. Ye Liuxi obviously didn’t know Hui Ba, but Hui Ba already knew her name and brought an old photo album, which contained a photo of Ye Liuxi.
It turns out that Gray Eight and others are not robbers in the true sense. They are just wild people organized by idle people. They usually take advantage of the opportunity to beg for food and have no intention of going against the country. They are very interested in the powerful characters who often come and go from Dalbo. fear. They all have a book circulating internally, and everyone who appears in the book is a ruthless person, so you have to recognize your face before starting this business to prevent yourself from running into someone one day and asking for trouble.
After listening to Hui Ba’s story, Ye Liuxi was thoughtful. Neither Chang Dong nor Feitang expected her identity to be so mysterious and powerful. Before he finished speaking, the light bulb flickered on and off, and there was a burst of booing in the tent. These people had relied on generators and electric lights for a long time and had no practical emergency equipment. Changdong felt bored and got up to get the floor mat and sleeping bag from the car. .
The tent was equipped with large bunks, and more than a dozen people lay down wherever they could. Although they were not particular about it, there were differences between men and women. Changdong let Ye Liuxi sleep against the edge of the tent, and he slept next to her at a distance, and next to him was Feitang. Everyone was still not obviously sleepy, so they started chatting about the strange things happening in the camp. They talked incessantly, and Feitang was a little scared when he heard it.
However, Changdong and Ye Liuxi did not believe these things, so they slept with their eyes closed on their pillows. However, in the middle of the night, Ye Liuxi wanted to get up to go to the toilet. Changdong wanted to accompany her out of the tent for safety reasons. As soon as she got up, she saw The tent cloth gradually lit up, like an old-fashioned movie screen, showing the figures of the camel team walking towards the top of the tent.
These images looked more like shadow puppets. Changdong hurriedly picked up the lamp and shined it on the tent, but found nothing strange. The scene just now had disappeared. If Changdong and Ye Liuxi hadn’t seen it at the same time, they would have almost thought they were dazzled and hallucinating. Because of this, Ye Liuxi did not dare to go to the toilet and ran out until dawn.
Early in the morning, the camp was filled with smoke and smoke. There were all pots and pans available. There was a large pot of porridge on the stove and eggs fried on site. It was rare to see such a sumptuous breakfast in the desert. Changdong wanted to ask Huiba about the strange happenings, but unexpectedly, Huiba and the others didn’t believe it at all, so they didn’t ask why.
Considering the dangers ahead, Changdong urged Feitang to drive back to the town quickly and stop following him and Ye Liuxi. Feitang felt a chill in his heart when he heard this and couldn’t even eat. After a rough calculation, he closed the shop and spent money. Going back alone would cost him a lot of money.
After Changdong said goodbye to Huiba and others, he took Ye Liuxi all the way to the west. From Dalbo to Yingcheng, the Yier Highway passed Hailongdui. The road to Hailongdui was even more dangerous and desolate. The descriptions in ancient books were all It is a place haunted by ghosts.
Although Changdong went to look for Kong Yang, he was prepared not to find Kong Yang. After entering the hinterland of Hailongdui, he found a hilltop along the road and planted a flag. Ye Liuxi took off the gauze covering her calf, and the wound was still bleeding. Seeing this, Changdong was angry and helpless, so he pulled her down the mountain, but the blood droplets seeped into the sand and reacted.
