Artisans in Tunli

Chapter 117 Uncle Xiang's Past

Although Uncle Xiang never forgets Mrs. Shi in his heart, life still has to go on.

Just like that, he thought in his heart that if he got far away, he might gradually forget about the person who made him dream, so he wandered around the Western Regions alone.And, I met Marvin here.

After listening to what he said, I suddenly realized that these two people have known each other for so many years, no wonder they always whisper together.

Uncle Xiang lit the cigarette I handed over, took a deep breath and said to us: "Don't say it. At that time, although life was hard, it was still leisurely. Brother Ma and I followed the camel team in the desert when we had nothing to do. Walking around the edge."

"What? Was there such a tourist project back then?" Xia Juanjuan asked suspiciously.

"What kind of tourism project is to go to the edge of the desert with the archaeological team and expedition team to find some historical sites and so on. Although it is a little hard work, the treatment is really good."

Uncle Xiang and Ma Wen, in order to avoid suffering, they became desert tour guides, even though most of the team returned without success.However, the two of them lived a relatively moist life.

"But." Uncle Xiang put out the cigarette in his hand, and just said a few words, then shut up.I don't know if I thought of something.

Everyone was a little addicted to listening to it just now, but he suddenly dug a hole, threw down the shovel and ran away, so how can we agree?

So, Xia Juanjuan and Jiang Shan begged Uncle Xiang to continue talking.Let me tell you, this woman speaks much better than a man.Within a few minutes, Uncle Xiang, who was frowning tightly, continued to tell the story.

At that time, it was the official first time that Uncle Xiang went to the world's second largest mobile desert.Normally, he would never go there.Because it was the windy season at that time, it was easy to encounter danger when entering the desert.

"Usually, when Marvin and I were exhausted, we would go for a stroll around the edge of the desert. That time, that person actually asked us to take them in to find some historic sites. At that time, Marvin didn't agree, so he withdrew after leaving a word." Uncle Xiang shook his hands, it seemed that there was more to come.

I thought for a while, Uncle Xiang must have accepted this job, so I asked him if he agreed to those people.

After he shook his head, he nodded a little. I was confused by his confusing body language, and I said to myself, what do you mean?
"I didn't agree at the time, and besides, those foreigners didn't even have a letter of introduction, and they didn't know if they were some bad guys, so they didn't take this matter to heart." Uncle Xiang took a sip of water and continued: " However, something happened later, and I had nothing to do, so I ventured into the desert."

Then we have to rewind the story to after Uncle Xiang rejected this group of people.

Most of the people in this group were men in their thirties. Uncle Xiang couldn't tell which country they were from, but one of them could still speak Mandarin.

Seeing that both Ma Wen and Uncle Xiang rejected them, they were simply disappointed at first, and then left.

But then, things got weird.At the beginning, the livestock in the village began to fall down one after another, foaming at the mouth.As time goes by, even people start to get sick.

In addition to fever, it was also accompanied by severe coughing symptoms. For a while, no one in the village knew what to do.

Ma Wen was young and energetic, and couldn't see the villagers suffering, so he found Uncle Xiang and wanted to find out.As soon as the two walked out of the yard, they saw the team that was about to enter the desert from a distance, staring at them as if they were watching a show.

So Ma Wen said to Uncle Xiang: "What do you think is going on here?"

"I can't tell. I think it's probably their fault."

There is no basis for this matter, it is really hard to say.The two of them ignored them and walked directly into a farmer, wanting to help look at their livestock.

When Uncle Xiang was on the mountain, he learned a lot of medical skills from his master, but his medical skills were limited to the mountains where the herbs are abundant.It's so bare here that you can't even find a root of grass, let alone herbs.

In addition, the medical technology of that era was also backward, and even visited several companies, but could not find the cause.In desperation, Ma Wen had to ask Xian'er to find a way.

If this matter is placed elsewhere, no one will care.But that's the frontier, and people have their own beliefs.You pretend to be a ghost, can people be happy?
If the problem is solved, I will say it, but it just doesn't solve the problem.

Uncle Xiang learned from Ma Wen, who was upper body, that this is not an ordinary disease at all, but that there are experts behind him who are obstructing it.This horse fairy is also just matured, very timid, unwilling to let them wade into this muddy water, so he left in despair.

Even Chuma Xian couldn't solve it, but imagine how serious the situation is.

Ma Wen left the village without saying a word that day, but Uncle Xiang didn't believe in evil, and wanted to see if that group of people did it.

When Uncle Xiang said this, he sighed and said, "Oh, I am too stupid. If I listen to Ma Wen, I won't be like that later."

"What's in the back?"

That day, when Ma Wen invited Xian'er, he was chattering, which frightened many fellow villagers.But he slapped his ass and left, leaving Uncle Xiang to clean up the mess.

Say that their actions angered Allah.In order to prevent things from getting worse, Uncle Xiang had no choice but to hastily packed his bags, turned out the back window, and planned to escape.

However, they found that the group of people who claimed to be the expedition team had been waiting on the main road for a long time.There were obstacles in front of him, and pursuers behind him. His brain became hot, and he didn't give anyone any face. He directly detoured and broke into the vast desert.

I looked at my watch, it was almost ten o'clock.Uncle Xiang talked intermittently for two hours, and Ma Wen said to check the camels, but no one has come back until now.

I felt a little uneasy all of a sudden, couldn't something happen to him, right?

Thinking of this, I interrupted Uncle Xiang and expressed my worries.He also seemed to feel a little abnormal, so he quickly stood up and wanted to go check with me.

Jiang Shan looked lazily, as if she didn't want to move. She must be exhausted after walking for so long during the day.I told her and Xia Juanjuan to stay where they were and not to move around, and Uncle Xiang and I would come whenever we went.

The stone wall is actually not small. At that time, Marvin was still glad that we had found this place, where we could avoid the wind and sand.But now, I feel a little weird here.

The Taklimakan Desert is the second largest mobile desert in the world, and it is not uncommon to see anything here.But how could it be such a coincidence that we found such a good place on the first day in the desert?
I followed Uncle Xiang with doubts, and anxiously walked towards the direction where the camels were tied on the other side.After bypassing the stone wall, they found that there were only five camels lying on their stomachs, and Marvin had disappeared.

"Strange?" Uncle Xiang said something out of the blue, which made my heart tighten.

Could it be that there is indeed some secret between them?
I mustered up my courage and opened my mouth to ask him, "Uncle Xiang, I saw you guys whispering together before, is there something you are hiding from us?"

After listening to what I said, he didn't turn his head, looking at him from behind, he seemed to be sighing.After wandering around the neighborhood a few more times, he turned to me and said:
"We are not hiding it from you, but we are afraid that you will know too much and your heart will be too burdened." I don't pay for Uncle Xiang's words.

Under my constant questioning, he told the truth.After listening to it, I was completely dumbfounded.

After everyone's meeting last night, Ma Wen received a call from Liu Jianguo.Of course, he communicated by satellite phone.On the other end of the phone, Liu Jianguo's tone was very heavy.

He told Marvin that not long ago, the "Institute of Mysterious Power" was burned down with a huge explosion.

Fortunately, no one was injured as it was night.But Liu Chunli and Yin Mei didn't know why they wandered around the base in the middle of the night and disappeared in this sudden explosion.

Marvin was stunned at the time, and hurriedly asked what was going on.Liu Jianguo said that after Li Qing surveyed, he secretly told him that it was a gas explosion. The bodies of Liu Chunli and Yin Mei were not found at the scene, and they were probably still alive. He also warned Liu Jianguo to pay attention to safety.

When I heard the news that Liu Chunli and Yin Mei were missing, I collapsed on the ground, and the slideshow started playing again in my mind.In grief and indignation, I asked Uncle Xiang, who else knew about this besides the two of us.

He walked up to me, knelt down, patted my shoulder with his hands and said, "Only the three of us know about this, but Marvin is gone now."

It seems that this time, nine times out of ten, it is a good thing done by the Soul Sect to completely crush our righteous force, otherwise how could such a big thing happen.

After searching for nothing, Marvin and I walked back dejectedly.I was still thinking about whether to tell Jiang Shan and Xia Juanjuan about this.Jiang Shan may not feel anything, but Xia Juanjuan will definitely collapse.

Liu Chunli has always loved Xia Juanjuan very much, almost treating her like her own child.Usually, she is also very kind to us, and occasionally she has a mission, and she usually supports us for nothing.I prayed silently in my heart, they had better just disappeared.

But when they returned to the camp, they only saw Xia Juanjuan, and hurried over to ask her where Jiang Shan had gone.

"Sister Jiang Shan said she went to look for you, didn't you see her?" Xia Juanjuan is not the kind of person who likes to make jokes about such things, my mind went blank and I ran back nervously.

Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen.

I looked around with a flashlight, but I didn't see a ghost, and apart from the sound of a camel chewing in the distance, the silence was in a mess.

Uncle Xiang and Xia Juanjuan also joined the ranks of searching, but this is not a mountain forest, if there is really something nearby, they can be found in no time.When Xia Juanjuan told me that Jiang Shan was looking for us, I knew that she should be in the same situation as Ma Wen.

"Uncle Thirteen, let's not look for it anymore, maybe."

Xia Juanjuan didn't know what to say. This phenomenon of disappearing out of thin air was not very common.The only thing I can think of is that they have entered the "two-dimensional space".

Kneeling in the gravel, cursing the nonsense that I said before, such as being protected, such a big living person disappeared before my eyes, but I didn't know what happened.Thinking of this, I stretched out my hand and slapped myself.

"Drip, drip, drip."

A crisp, high-tech sound rang rhythmically in my ears.
