Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 66
After a long journey, Lao Yan and I finally left Lop Nur.

I turned around and looked at the vast desert, my thoughts were filled with thoughts for a while.

I don't know whether to be grateful for my survival, or to be sad for my comrades buried in the desert forever?
Maybe it’s because he’s experienced a lot. Lao Yan doesn’t have the emotions I have. As soon as he came out, he made a satellite phone call. I don’t know the details, but he asked me to go to the capital with him after he hung up the phone.

There, it is the location of the mysterious department.

"Can you wait? I want to go back to the barracks first."

I looked in the direction of Bayinguo Leng and muttered to myself, Company Commander Chen and the others have all left, I must at least go back and give the company an explanation.

Lao Yan shook his head: "No need, I've sent someone to deal with it, and the soldiers there will be dispersed soon and sent to various parts of the country. No one will remember you, Liu Chang'an, let alone Lao Chen and the others. "

I was taken aback by what he said, and asked if all the dead people were handled in this way?

"Yes."

Lao Yan nodded expressionlessly.

I was silent for a while and told him, no matter what, I still want to go to the barracks to have a look.

Lao Yan said yes, but it will have to wait until tomorrow.

I'm not in a hurry, and Lao Yan and I really need to rest in our current state.

We found a resting place not far from the company, took a refreshing bath, and slept soundly before setting off for Bayingoleng.

But when I got to the place, I didn't go in, because the people were different. I didn't even know the guards at the gate of the team, including the small troops who came out for training.

It's not time for recruits to join the army...

I just stood outside, watching the soldiers coming and going in the army, and even saw the new company commander reciting "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" with a loudspeaker, as if everything in the past was my illusion.

If I wasn't still alive, if I didn't still carry Company Commander Chen's ashes on me, I'm afraid their existence in this world would be completely wiped out.

Seeing my dazed expression, Lao Yan patted my shoulder, I turned my head and glanced at him, not knowing what expression to make, and in the end I just sighed lightly: "Let's go!"

Lao Yan had obviously prepared everything. As soon as we left Bayingoleng, a car came to pick us up. The driver looked like an ordinary person, because he didn't know Lao Yan, but someone asked him to pick us up.

"Chang'an, you have made up your mind, do you really want to go to Yanjing with me?"

After getting into the car and making sure the driver couldn't hear our conversation, Lao Yan asked me a serious question.

I nodded and didn't speak.

Lao Yan stretched out his hand towards me, and I asked him suspiciously what he was going to do.

"Take out the soldier's card and ID card." He hooked his fingers.

Although I didn't know what he was going to do, I took two things out of the bag.

Lao Yan took the documents, then took out the lighters from his pocket, and set them on fire before I could react.

"What are you doing!" I was in a hurry, and I stretched out my hand to snatch it. This is my identity certificate, and I will live on these two documents in the future.

Lao Yan avoided my hand, and the two documents slowly turned into ashes in his hands, then he looked up at me, and said word by word: "From now on, there will be no such person as Liu Changan in the world!"

I was still in the snatching motion. After hearing his words, I was stunned, and it took me a while to react.

Afterwards, I sat on the side and didn't speak in silence. Although his movement was abrupt, I was still mentally prepared when I thought of Company Commander Chen and the others.

It's just that I'm getting more and more curious about that department.

From then on until we took the train to Yanjing, Lao Yan and I didn't talk too much, because we really didn't know what to say.

As soon as I got out of Yanjing Railway Station, I saw a young man in his 20s, wearing a denim shirt and a toad mirror, holding a sign to pick us up.

As soon as he saw us, he rushed over and opened his arms to embrace Lao Yan: "Lao Yan, you are back, I think you don't want to eat or drink."

"Go, go, your master didn't torture you to death?" Lao Yan avoided the hug with a look of disgust, but from the curvature of his mouth and the relaxed tone, it can be seen that he has a good relationship with this person in front of him.

The young man's face became bitter: "I said, don't expose my scars as soon as we meet, hey, who is this? You just brought it back?"

He seemed to have just noticed me, his eyes passed from behind the sunglasses, he looked me up and down, and then he said with a smile: It can be regarded as a baby who is younger than me.

I didn't speak, just smiled at him, who knew that he suddenly stepped forward and put his arms around my shoulders: "I said, little brother, after entering the department, I will cover you and take care of your popular food and drink. .”

I heard that the word was not quite right, so I looked at Lao Yan for help.

Lao Yan knocked off the young man's hand with a snap: "Baby, stop making trouble, hurry up, I still have important things on me."

As soon as Lao Yan talked about the business, the young man named Ya Zai stopped making trouble, and led us into a jeep. When starting the car, he still turned his head and said to me: "Little brother, go back quickly, wait for things to be done." Alright, I invite you to eat the most authentic boiled mutton in Old Yanjing."

Hearing his warm greeting, I choked out a sentence for a while: "You wear sunglasses while driving, can you see the road clearly?"

"Old Yan, the person you brought back this time is interesting, hey, I like it." Yazai didn't seem to expect me to say that, he was taken aback for a moment and then smiled.

Lao Yan ignored him and waved him to drive quickly.

On the next road, I got to know Yazai thoroughly. While driving the car, he introduced me to the places he passed along the way, from when the scenic spots are free of charge to when the soy milk tastes right on the side of the road, and he never stopped all the way. Pass.

But what he said was interesting, so I listened to it as a story.

"arrive!"

The car drove for almost an hour, the road became more and more deviated, and finally stopped in front of a white building.

I got out of the car and saw the sign hanging on the building: Yanjing Cultural Relics Bureau.

I glanced suspiciously at Lao Yan, this place is so remote, and there is a signboard of the Bureau of Cultural Relics, what department is it really?
He didn't explain, just let me in, and the kid on the side smiled and said don't be nervous, besides, you are not a cultural relic, so you are afraid that we will sell it to you?
I also laughed when I heard him say that, and followed them into the Cultural Relics Bureau, but I was even more suspicious when I walked in.Because the people I met along the way were indeed doing ordinary clerical work. I saw many people writing materials or making phone calls, and there was a bald old man reading a newspaper in slippers.

"Old Yan, don't you fool me?" I doubted in my heart, after all, the department he mentioned is really a bit miraculous, and it doesn't match the scene in front of me at all.

Lao Yan glanced at me and still didn't speak, just continued to point his hand inward.

Okay, let's go, I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd?

I followed them through the office building in front, and then entered a big iron gate guarded by several soldiers. When the big iron gate opened, I was stunned.

What appeared before my eyes was a huge semi-circular hall, which was divided into countless office locations by glass.In the middle is the public area, full of various transmitters, radios, and some other instruments I don’t know, it’s like a mechanical fortress in motion!
There are not many people here. I saw about a dozen or twenty people. Most of them were busy with their own work and didn't react when they saw people coming in.

As soon as I entered the door, Lao Yan greeted Yazai, asked him to show me around and explain the department's situation, and left in a hurry.

"Where is he going?" I was a little curious, because I saw him go through a secured door, and behind that door was an upward staircase, which looked mysterious.

Yazai put his arms around my shoulders: "Never mind him, you go shopping with brother first!"
