Desert Ancient City Chapter 40: Linglong
The next day, everyone got up early. In the early spring of the New Year, the morning in Guanzhong area was sunny but cold. We packed up and had breakfast.
The Fourth Master changed his clothes, still in black clothes and black pants, and his figure was slender and strong. The four of them were drinking tea together, waiting for the agreed time.
As soon as we arrived at eight o'clock, we heard a string of "giggling" laughter from the yard outside the door, which was very crisp. The scholar opened the door and saw a group of men in strong clothes walking in a slim and tall girl. The girl was wearing a white sweater and white pants, and a white plush windbreaker on the outside, with a ponytail. Her arms swinged back and forth very little, but she walked very lightly and looked heroic. I guess the girl was in her early twenties.
The yard is actually not small, but a group of them walked into the room in the blink of an eye. The girl looked around and opened her red lips lightly: "Hello brothers! My name is Linglong. Please take care of this action!" After that, she bent down slightly.
I thought to myself, this little girl is quite polite. Unexpectedly, the moment the girl got up, her right white fingers stretched out like lightning and rushed straight into the Fourth Master's eyes. I was shocked and had no time to react.
If this is to be hit, the Fourth Master’s two tricks will be ruined.
The finger had already jumped to the Fourth Master's face, and I felt that it had even touched the bridge of his nose. Unexpectedly, it was only one centimeter away. The girl's hand actually stopped in the air, and then made a "ah" cry. The girl's wrist was clamped by the Fourth Master's left index finger and middle finger, and she could not move at all.
The girl's face changed drastically. She stepped forward with her left hand and wanted to lock the Fourth Master's throat. The Fourth Master just reached out and flicked her hand lightly, and the girl said "Ahhh". Then, a group of men in costume rushed up from behind.
The scholar blew the cigarette in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Fuck, I'm against them! Mr. Xia, Lao Xu, I've searched the guy and fought against them!"
Lao Xu and I didn't dare to be negligent, so we immediately bounced off the chair and rushed forward with the momentum.
Seeing that a fierce fight was about to begin, a stern shout came from outside: "Stop!" The big men immediately became like kittens and stood on both sides. The Fourth Master also let go of his hands. It turned out that Mr. Cao brought a group of people into the yard.
The girl was free from her hands, and immediately bounced back and laughed: "Grandpa, I'm having fun with my brothers." Then she turned around and waved her hand to the Fourth Master, then bowed, and said: "Brother is so good at being Brother Qifan. My sister is polite."
The Fourth Master did not make a sound, just nodded slightly.
"The beautiful girl is indeed vicious in her heart. She was so fierce just now, she was extremely stingy, and now she pretended to be pure." The scholar put down the chair in his hand and said quietly.
The situation was tense just now, and I just had a rough impression of this girl. I heard from the scholar that she was beautiful, so I looked carefully and found that she was indeed a beautiful girl: her skin was as white as snow, her cheeks were slightly red, her face was melon-shaped, her big eyes were so watery that it seemed to drip out of water. Her straight nose bridge, her vermilion cherry mouth, and her crisp and pleasant sound were shocking. Unexpectedly, the old man Cao was so shriveled and thin, but her granddaughter was so beautiful.
Mr. Cao also walked into the room at this time. The girl rushed up, grabbed the old man's arm, and said in a coquettish voice: "Grandpa, it's so cold this day, why are you here? Put on your coat quickly."
Only after all the equipment was in place, Mr. Cao presided over the plenary meeting of the "Supporting Pot". A total of twenty people attended, four of us and sixteen of the Cao family. According to the rules of the Supporting Pot, the destination will not be disclosed in advance, only Linglong and Long Siye, who are "palm", know.
I once secretly asked the Fourth Master, but he just likes to be mysterious and keeps his mouth shut and refuses to reveal a word.
After the brief farewell ceremony, we took five off-road vehicles. Our car was the first car, and the Fourth Master sat in the co-pilot as a guide. At the beginning, the scholar and I were very excited and kept walking according to the feeling of traveling. I slowly began to feel bored. Except for the occasional greetings from the intercom, no one was willing to speak. I leaned against the seat in the back row, chaotic, and fell asleep after a while.
I slept very heavily. When I woke up, it was already dark. It was pitch black outside the window, but it should be still high. The scholar and Lao Xu were still snoring. The Fourth Master was sitting on the board, but his head was leaning against the window glass, and probably was resting. However, I saw from the rearview mirror in the car that the driver was no longer the one who left. The people in Linglong were divided into three shifts and drove in turn. I wonder if I had entered the service area to change shifts when I was asleep.
I rubbed my temples, gave the driver a cigarette, and lit one myself. I asked him, "Brother, where is this? Where are we going?"
The driver looked at me from the rearview mirror and replied: "Master Xia, according to the rules of the pot, those who work under him will not know the destination, and I don't know where to go. Now we are on Lianhuo Gao, and the eldest lady keeps going."
I opened the mobile phone map and drove the GPS positioning. The driver said that the five of us were indeed on the side of Lianhuo Gao. Anyone with some common sense of geography would know that after coming out of Xi'an, getting on Lianhuo Gao, the direction was heading northwest, and the designation was heading towards Gansu and Qinghai. I was smoking and suddenly realized a problem. When I met the Fourth Master at the Beijing Railway Station, he hurriedly stuffed the note into my pocket. After the point in Xi'an, there were many lines, one of which was a dotted line that crossed Qinghai and turned to Xinjiang. Could it be that the destination of this operation was in Xinjiang?
I didn't ask the Fourth Master, since there are rules, then follow the rules. Since I came, I would be at ease. Although I haven't known each other for a long time, he has saved us several times and this time he just treats it as a reward for him.
The car was driving very quickly, and it was obvious that these dozen people were all good at driving. Except for occasionally strolling in the service area, going to the toilet, almost all eating, drinking and resting were carried out in the car. After driving for two days, it was too high, turning to the national highway, and then taking the small road, and finally arrived at a place where there was no people around. A delicate sound came from the intercom, and all the cars stopped. As we walked, our butts were numb, and everyone opened the car door and jumped down.
"Fuck, where is this fucking? Why is it all sand?" The scholar said with a frown while hiding his numb feet.
"Earth of the Earth, Lop Nur." The Fourth Master still answered in that unique low voice.
"What?!" The scholar and I shouted in surprise, "It was the Lop Nur who lost Peng Jiamu and sacrificed Yu Chunshun?"
"That's right. That's it." The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes and looked around.
"Stop talking nonsense, now have a meeting." Linglong got out of the car in a red jacket and shouted to us.
"This is the edge of Lop Nur in the Western Xinjiang. The purpose of our pot this time is an ancient tomb. The Fourth Master of Long knew the location of this ancient tomb, and the operation was commanded by the Fourth Master. Everyone must be extra careful. This is not our territory, and there is military force, so you must not be alerted. Everything should be followed." Linglong changed the style of the little girl and seemed very capable.
