ghost market

Before the words fell, Yan Daojie who was sitting on the side stood up suddenly, obviously he had also heard this voice that made us extremely sensitive.

who is it?

As I ran out of the cave, I thought about it in my heart.All four of us are in the cave, and Arslan is the only one left outside. Could it be that he stole the gun?But is it a person or a thing that he attacks?Or was he being attacked by others?There are too many possibilities, so I have to find him first anyway.

After leaving the cave, the few of us quickly took out our weapons and dispersed, each choosing a direction to move slowly along the rock wall, carefully searching for suspicious places.The cave outside is much larger than the one just now, and there are many large and small holes in the surrounding rock walls, and the terrain is very complicated.We searched carefully for a long time, but found nothing suspicious, and we didn't find Arslan either.Everyone discussed a few words and planned to expand the search range, so they took out the flashlight from the luggage and distributed it.Just as they were about to set off, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in a larger cave on the right.Hearing the sound, everyone hurriedly dispersed around the entrance of the cave, carrying their weapons and getting ready.

I listened carefully, and there was only one sound of footsteps, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, a little heavy, but there was no feeling of deliberately concealing it.Its direction of travel did not hesitate or change, it walked towards us almost straightly, getting closer and closer. [

After a while, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.As soon as this figure appeared, Ruan Yu and Yan Daojie took action immediately.Yan Daojie grabbed the hem of the visitor's clothes, and immediately put the gun in his hand on his head.Ruan Yu squatted down at this time, and using this man's body as a cover, raised his gun to guard the cave behind him.

"Brother Yan...you...what are you doing?" Arslan's trembling voice rang out, and the flashlight in his hand shook slightly, casting a blurred halo on the ground.

Yan Daojie looked at him carefully by the light of the fire, but didn't make a sound.It wasn't until Ruan Yu stood up from the ground and made a safe gesture that Yan Daojie took the gun away from Arslan's head.Shen Sheng asked:

"Where have you been?"

"I went to the car to get a blanket." Arslan moved his arm holding the blanket as a signal, "This is... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, we heard some strange noises just now, and thought there were some wild animals." I interjected.

Just now Xiaoqian told me through gestures that after her inventory, she confirmed that there is no shortage of our existing guns and medicines.Thus.Arslan's suspicion of stealing the gun was ruled out.Although he may have hidden firearms himself, I don't think the chances are very high. After all, such weapons are not so easy to obtain in our society.

Arslan couldn't help being a little dazed because Yan Daojie suddenly held his head with a gun. A few seconds passed after I finished speaking.He suddenly realized that it was me who was speaking, so he hurriedly took a few steps forward and said eagerly, "Brother Asheng, you're awake! Are you... all right?"

His expression at the moment was very strange, a little anxious and a little embarrassed, and there was also a little panic in the background.Obviously.He was still brooding over the matter of abandoning me in "Black Storm", so he was a little ashamed to face me.Besides, the incident of being held hostage by us with weapons happened just now, it is estimated that he would inevitably think that something happened to me at that moment, and Yan Daojie and the others wanted him to pay for his life.

"I'm fine, brother." I said kindly, and then I took the initiative to pat him on the shoulder, "Third brother told me about the matter. I don't think it's your fault, so don't take it too seriously. This kind of No one can do anything about the matter, let it pass. Everyone is living well now, and this is the most important thing."

"Brother Asheng, I... I'm sorry!"

Arslan apologized sincerely, bent down and was about to bow to me, but I stopped him.I smiled at him.He indicated that I really didn't take the previous matter to heart, then stretched out my hand and pulled him to sit by the campfire, and asked, "How is the situation outside, has the wind stopped?"

"No. It's still so fierce," Arslan shook his head, "It's dark, and I don't know why old man Hu Da is so angry."

"How's our car?"

"It's okay, but it's a bit flattened from the side collision. I tried to turn it on, and it can be driven. It shouldn't delay my use. My car is quite solid. When the wind stops, everyone can take it out."

"Oh, what about our stuff? Is it a big loss?"

"It's not too big. Our cargo compartment has a roof, so we haven't lost anything. I checked, oil and water and other important things are fine, but the dry food we brought is missing a pack, but it's not a big problem." Als Lang paused, and said without worry: "However, the other car probably won't be found. In this case, we won't have much spare oil, and we can't make any more mistakes on the road later, otherwise we may It’s not enough to go back. I hope the old man Hu Da will bless us.”

I nodded and didn't say anything more.There was no pause between the few questions I asked just now, and I deliberately increased the speed of questioning gradually, leaving little time for him to think.His expression was very natural when he answered, and what he said was indeed what an experienced guide should pay attention to first, which was very consistent with his previous performance.It seems that what he just said about going to the car to get the blanket should not be an excuse.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Asheng, this is for you." Arslan handed over the blanket in his hand, "I don't know when you will wake up, I'm afraid you'll be cold, so..." [

I took the blanket and smiled, thanked him, and asked casually, "By the way, brother, did you hear any strange noises from the car just now?"

"Strange noise?" Arslan frowned, "There are strange noises everywhere over there, and the wind will make strange noises when it enters this kind of place, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, so we will call such places 'Yadan', commonly known in Chinese as 'Devil City'."

I know that there will indeed be "strange noises" formed by the wind in this kind of place. Xiaoqian has already introduced the characteristics of this special terrain when he was investigating everywhere a few days ago.Asking him like this at this moment is actually just verifying his whereabouts just now.I estimate that the place where the car is located is much further away than where we are staying, and the howling wind there should be louder. The gunshots just now were not very loud. If Arslan was indeed in the car, then he probably heard it. not see.Even if you hear it, as an ordinary person, you shouldn't have too much reaction to the subtle gunshots, basically you will naturally confuse it with the strange whistling sound made by the wind.Arslan's behavior at the moment was very reasonable. It seemed that the gunshot just now had nothing to do with him.And in this way, the problem becomes serious.

The route we took was not an ordinary adventure travel route, but an ancient business route that few people would take. Now it is basically a completely populated area.Meeting someone who has nothing to do with us on such a line, I think, the chance of this kind of chance is even lower than the chance of winning the first prize in the lottery.Bloody?Or that "mysterious third party"?Or someone else that we don't know yet, but who has targeted us?In any case, they fired their guns, which meant they were in danger.Obviously, with the storm still raging outside, we who are trapped here are also likely to be affected by this danger.

So, I decided to take the initiative.

"Brother," I looked up at Arslan, "are you familiar with the place we are hiding now?"

Arslan shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with it. In fact, I haven't walked this route a few times. I just know that there is a piece of Yardang here, and I don't know what it looks like inside. At that time, I found a black The storm is coming, I am too scared, and I can't think of a place to hide, so I want to come here and try."

"Well, how big is it in here?" I asked.

"I don't know the specifics, but it doesn't look small." Arslan tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "We call such places 'Yadan' in Uighur language, but not all of them are called that. There is a saying called 'Maisai'. Such landforms vary in size. 'Yadan' refers to the relatively small ones, while 'Maisai' refers to the relatively large ones. I think the scale of the place we are staying in should be It's 'Maisai'."

After listening to what he said, I patted him on the shoulder and stood up, then asked Yan Daojie and Ruan Yu to discuss a few words.Later, we decided to let Ruan Yu and Xiaoqian lead Arslan to guard the camp, while Yan Daojie and I searched in that direction based on the feeling when we heard the gunshot just now, to see if we could find anything .

With the idea set, we didn't delay any longer, and immediately prepared our weapons and equipment and were about to set off.When Arslan knew that we wanted to go out to check, he immediately became nervous, saying that the black storm outside had not stopped, and it was best not to act recklessly when the old man Hu Da was angry, so as not to be punished for violating taboos.If we accidentally ran into the black storm outside the stone group, we would never come back.Besides, this rock group is full of holes and cracks, and the terrain is very complicated. Even if we didn't go outside, we would easily get lost here, and we might get stuck there and never get out.

I have also considered what he said.However, I don't know how long this black storm will last, and I don't know how many enemies just made the gunshots.If you just stay where you are, you might be in great danger for a while.However, the problems mentioned by Arslan really gave me a headache, what should I do?

"!"

Just as I was hesitating, the sound of gunfire suddenly came from a distance again.The gunshot sounded much clearer than before, and it seemed that it was approaching us. (To be continued.
