Wild Sands Chapter 3: Returning to Home (3)


In a moment of carelessness, the three of us almost capsized in the ditch.

If the armadillo hadn't appeared in time to open up the tunnel, we might have been trapped underground for a while.

But precisely because of this accident, the secret of Armadillo Cave gradually surfaced.

The ravine under Shuzhai leads directly to the vegetable fields in the mountains, and the stench we smell came up along this secret passage.

In view of the notes and tools carried by the unknown corpse, I speculate that this person has a huge connection with this armadillo.

The latter may have been tamed by him to excavate underground burials.

As for why the person involved died in the wilderness and even lingered after death, it is still a mystery.

Shiry Yang put forward a hypothesis about this.

She believed that this fan was forced to go into the mountains while looking for a tomb.

The armadillo would destroy the vegetable garden many times to obtain food for the sake of the savior, but the situation of the other party was obviously not optimistic. , died tragically in the cave soon.

The armadillo was unwilling to leave just now, so he limited his range of activities to the vicinity of Shu's house.

He excavated day and night and built a complex underground transportation network.

If we hadn't discovered the secret, maybe it would have been standing guard near the armadillo cave for its owner until the end of its life.

"Listening to what you said, this little beast is quite loyal, which is interesting."

The fat man knocked the peanut shells on the ground, clapped his hands and asked, "Then what should we do now?

There is a lawsuit for one more life for no reason.

We can't explain why.

He has to go with Master Shu and go through the investigation.

I’d rather bury him on the spot.

The feng shui of this place is not bad, and it would be an advantage for him to settle here.”

Luo Liu became anxious when he heard this: "How can this be done?

There are living people living on one hilltop and dead people living on the other hilltop.

There is a vegetable field in the middle.

How unlucky.

Or should we call the police?

Even this little iron-armored and copper-clad little The beasts are sent to the official together."

"Otherwise, I'll help you contact someone and leave this matter to him."

I probably knew the person Shiry Yang was talking about, but I couldn't figure out what she had in mind for the moment.

The last time the museum was stolen, we had an unpleasant quarrel with the foreign devil named Kelly.

After that, although there were four eyes following us to wipe our butts, the two parties had long since lost contact.

At this time, Shiry Yang mentioned that he wanted to find him to handle the matter.

There seems to be something wrong with this case.

Si Yan obviously saw something fishy in it, and he looked at me; I closed my eyes and turned my head to the side.

We can't expose her shortcomings in front of the master and servants of the Shu family.

If she has other plans in mind, we will do nothing.

"Let me take care of this matter.

After all, I'm still in the business."

Si Yan reached for the phone book and handed it to Shiry Yang, "That's the number, right?"

Shirey Yang nodded: "We have to take away the armadillo and leave the other things to him.

The museum will also bother you afterwards.

I think there is a lot involved."

The fat man was eager to give it a try: "You go your own way.

Qin Siyan and I are here to take care of it.

One hundred people are relieved and one thousand people are satisfied.

When you meet Father Yang later, remember to offer incense sticks on your behalf."

I originally planned to stay and accompany them to finish disposing of the body, but then I thought about it and thought that if I really investigated this matter all the way, I would definitely find out a lot of things.

I can't break my promise to Shiry Yang again.

Even if the sky falls this time, I have to accompany her back to her hometown first.

Having made up my mind, I immediately stopped worrying.

After returning to the city, I picked up my car and luggage and set off immediately without delaying for a minute.

I rarely have the opportunity to be alone with Shirey Yang.

The two of them were stuck in the same car.

They were talking and laughing at the beginning, but after a few hours they stopped completely.

After waiting for a long time, I really couldn’t think of anything else.

There was nothing we could talk about, so we had to drive with our heads covered.

The car was eerily quiet for a while.

I looked up at the car mirror and found Shiry Yang playing with the armadillo.

The little beast raised his neck with a satisfied look on his face, not blushing at all for his act of destroying people's property.

I couldn't help but snort.

Shiry Yang raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

I laughed and said I was distracted just now.

Shiry Yang put his head around and said suspiciously: "Lao Hu, why do I think you are a bit too big of a god?

Do you know the way?"

I opened the map with one hand and pointed at the hand-drawn marks and said: "I have experienced many battles and have been prepared for a long time.

We just came down from this opening.

Why don't you worry about me doing things?"

Shiry Yang took it, rolled his eyes up and down, and waved: "Stop the car, stop on the side of the road first."

I didn't know why, so I had to stop the car along the roadside.

Shiry Yang opened the car door and strode out.

I quickly rolled down the window: "Where are you going?

You need to pee."

She patted the car door and said helplessly, "This map of yours has a long history.

If we continue driving, I'm afraid we will break into the border."

I picked up the map and vaguely saw the words "1951" from the broken corners.

Damn it, where did Fatty get such a Chinese version of the map?

It was a family heirloom that his father brought back from the Korean battlefield.

I pretended to be calm and stuffed the map into the car: "I didn't expect that the United States has developed rapidly in the construction of the four modernizations and has a tendency to catch up with the world's advanced level.

This map is indeed not suitable for use now.

I will definitely criticize the fat man for his short-sightedness later. , lack of strategic vision.”

"Okay, okay, don't be poor with me."

Shiry Yang sat on the driver's seat and moved me out, "You put it in the cage, we have to drive back.

We probably won't be able to get there before dark, so we need to find a place to stay. ” I nodded and said: "As guests do as the host does, when in a country, do as the Romans do.

What do you say, General Staff Officer?"

She gave a muffled laugh and didn't care about taking the wrong road.

The two of them started chatting about each other.

In order to make up for my mistake, when I passed by the gas station, I bought a new map.

After studying the route thoroughly, I asked Shiry Yang to change my shift.

She objected to traveling all night at first, but I insisted that everyone should take responsibility for the work.

Otherwise, if the news spread, the young and old in the store would laugh their teeth out.

She couldn't twist me, so she had to give up, repeatedly warned me to be careful, and finally leaned on the back seat and fell asleep in a daze.

Fatty and I used to hunt for dragons and dig holes in deep mountains and old forests, mostly during the day and at night.

At the beginning, we also used our discharge certificates to take trains and buses, but later we carried more equipment with us, such as engineer shovels and black donkey hooves.

It’s not always possible to disguise things as adult goods and get away with it.

There was a time The security guard at Beijing Railway Station became suspicious of us.

He checked us out every time he saw us.

Without saying a word, he left us in a small dark room for interrogation.

Eventually, we had to raise our own money to buy a second-hand car.

Going out on the road secretly at night was even more difficult than when he was performing tasks in the army.

Over time, I developed the habit of driving at night.

No matter how sleepy I am, when I hold the steering wheel, I feel like I have been given a shot of blood, and I feel more energetic.

When we reached a wilderness area outside the town, I stopped the car and woke up the sleepy Shiry Yang.

She looked up and looked outside and asked me where I was.

"We should be here in an hour at most," I patted the armadillo spinning in the cage.

"We must say goodbye after a long journey, so we can't take it with us to offer incense to the old man."

Shiry Yang got out of the car wrapped in a blanket, and we worked together to lift the iron cage down.

This guy was shrewd and seemed to have seen our plan.

He immediately stood up on his two hind legs and scratched the cage with his front paws, hoping to leave the iron cage as soon as possible.

After being stared at by its round and bright eyes, Shiry Yang suddenly became energetic and opened the lid with a smile.

The armadillo took advantage of the night to "swoosh" out of the distance and soon disappeared into the darkness.

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt reluctant and felt lost.

Shiry Yang took a deep breath, looked at her watch, and wanted to switch shifts with me.

I insisted and the two of them joked with each other for a while and continued on their way.

At dawn, I finally drove into the town.

I originally planned to find a secluded place, stop the car and take a nap, but for some reason, my head was unusually awake.

I closed my eyes and turned over several times, but still couldn't fall asleep.

I saw Shiry Yang sleeping soundly, so I was embarrassed to disturb her.

She thought to herself that there was still some time before dawn, so it would be better to go for a walk around first, and then look for the Yang family's house when she woke up.

The sky was gray, the sun was still hidden in the clouds, and the town was quieter than imagined.

I took a deep breath of the misty air and walked quickly through this strange rural town.

Because I didn’t know the road and there were no clear road signs, I walked aimlessly on the street twice.

It was probably because it was still early and I didn’t meet any pedestrians.

The town of Utah is much larger than expected, with typical American southern architecture, and farmland can be seen further away.

I remembered that the old house that Shiry Yang mentioned seemed to be near the farm.

I felt a little more interested and planned to go to the farm to check out the situation.

But after going around for a long time, I still couldn't find the road leading to Tianken.

Instead, I entered a dead end.

Fortunately, there was no one around, so I turned around and left.

Suddenly, I found a person in the hut at the end of the alley sticking his head outside, looking toward me.

While watching.

The sky has not yet turned white, and the visibility in the alley is limited.

The head of the person outside the window has been sticking out of the house, and the gray hair is swaying in the wind.

From a distance, he looks like an ancient man.

I waved hello to him, then slowly walked up to ask for a way out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I got closer, the old foreign lady almost jumped up, quickly picked up a bag of dark things and threw it at me, and then locked the window with a bang.

I was almost hit on the head by bags of domestic garbage, and I didn't understand why I had offended the old lady.

I strode to the window.

The thick curtains completely obscured my view, making it impossible to see clearly what was going on in the room.

I walked around to the door and rang the doorbell several times.

No one answered the door for a long time.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes just now, I would have almost believed that it was an empty house in front of me.

Standing in front of someone's door is not an option, so I decided to ask Shirey Yang if it was their custom of welcoming guests.

When I returned to the parking place, I was completely dumbfounded.

Shirey Yang was nowhere to be seen.

It only took about ten minutes.

Could it be that she couldn't wait for someone and went out to look for me?

I didn't dare to wander around anymore, so I got into the car and waited for Shirey Yang to come back.

A few minutes later, I saw her running over in a hurry.

I opened the car door and said it was okay.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I thought you were lost.

I didn't expect you to come back faster than me."

I briefly described to her the strange thing that had just happened.

She didn't know how to explain it either.

I was afraid of her embarrassment, so I immediately laughed: "It's not a big deal.

This only shows that the old lady is highly alert.

A stranger suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Maybe she took me as a criminal."

After she heard this Only then did he let go of his words and promised not to pursue the matter further.

At this time, the sky turned fish white, the fog shrouding the streets gradually dissipated, and the farmland in the distance suddenly became clear.

Shiry Yang pointed to the small black dot on the horizon and said: "It will take about twenty minutes for us to walk to the top of the house."

"Don't drive" "I want to take a walk."

"That's done, let's go
