I was petrified, and it took me a long time to react. It took me a long time to go back to the phone call last night from being so arrogant and thinking that the beauty fell in love with me at first sight. I turned to look at the female tour guide who I was so passionate about. I wanted her to continue talking.
When I got down, she smiled at me and ran to the front of the line again.
It was her who made the call! I wanted to run to her right now and ask her everything, why did you call me? How did you know me? But I couldn't. Since she secretly stuffed the note into me, she must have something.
The reason was that it was inconvenient for her. I might interrupt her plan if I went there rashly, not to mention that so many people were visiting the murals. I suddenly ran over and asked her to question her. Others thought I was crazy. But where would I go next?
I still feel like visiting the scenery, and I just want to end it immediately, and then I can find her and ask her alone.
Anyone who has been to Mogao Grottoes knows that the entire cave is made up of small caves, similar to the ear chambers in ancient tombs, and there are not only murals inside, but also many Buddha statues with different expressions. A tour guide took us
, it is impossible to visit every small cave. If you want to see more, you have to follow other teams to visit separately in the middle. After our group entered more than a dozen small caves, the crowd temporarily dispersed.
, taking this opportunity, I rushed over and grabbed the beautiful tour guide, ducked into a small cave aside, and asked eagerly: Who are you?
She broke away from my grip on her arm and complained: You hurt me!
I quickly apologized, saying I was sorry for the beauty. I was too impatient, but you can’t blame me entirely, right? Who are you and how did you find me? Why are you calling me?
At this time, she burst into laughter and said: You ask so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?
I didn't have time to decide which one to ask first. When I thought of which one to ask, I said, "Okay, let me ask one first, who are you?"
The beautiful tour guide winked at me and said mischievously: Don't you think it's rude to ask a girl this suddenly?
But I am not in the mood to tease her now, so I quickly said, "Auntie, stop teasing me, who are you?"
She still said nonsense: I am the one who called you.
I collapsed after hearing this, and I said, OK, can you tell me why you called me? It seems that we have never met before, why did you call me? Are there two people, one is gloomy?
Yes, a bear with a heavy back and waist like the black bear monster in Journey to the West. They asked you to find me?
The girl still looked at me innocently, shook her head and said: No.
I was about to continue asking when Zhu Kaihua and Zhang Kaixuan walked in. Zhu Kaihua immediately teased: Damn it, Zhao Laosan, isn't it you? I just noticed that you two were flirting with each other. What's the matter, you got started so quickly?
I said get out of here, I'm here to talk about business. He said yes, I know, I understand. After that, he winked at me and made a tacit expression that everyone understood. I saw that it was getting darker and darker.
, interrupted him directly: I told you, please stop talking nonsense, I really need something from this girl now, please don’t make her and I angry.
After saying that, I turned to the tour guide and said: Beautiful lady, these two are not outsiders, you can say whatever you want.
The Bodhisattva in front of me changed the conditions again this time and said: It's okay if I tell you, I'm hungry, you have to treat me to a meal first.
I said okay, let’s just leave. I’m not familiar with the whole of Dunhuang. When we get out of here, you can order whatever you want to eat. Don’t be polite to me. Things that can be solved with money are nothing.
A few of us left the Mogao Grottoes, and after asking for a long time, she couldn't tell her where to go to eat. Then we figured it out and decided to go to the Dunhuang International Hotel where we were staying.
On the way back in the car, Zhu Kaihua whispered to me, "Third Young Master, what on earth is going on? I'm still in a fog, why are you inviting someone to dinner? Are you trying to kidnap someone else's little girl?
Or is this little girl trying to trick you into eating and drinking, and she just happened to be the one who took advantage of you?"
The tour guide was in the front seat of the car. I spoke too loudly to avoid her hearing, so I leaned down and whispered into his ear. Zhang Kaixuan was obviously very curious, so he came over to listen. I said: I answered a phone call last night.
Before I could finish my sentence, Zhu Kaihua called out, "It turns out I just answered a phone call. I answered three calls last night, and they all asked me if I wanted to serve. Zhang Laohei, you also received the right call."
Wrong?" After saying this, he seemed to suddenly realize, and said in a surprising way: This woman is not in that line of work, is she? Third young master, I tell you that I, Lao Zhu, have come here, and I have something to remind you, this
Just play with things, but don't get really emotional. Don't look at the girl's skills, they are all accumulated through experience.
I saw that he was getting more and more unreliable, so I quickly interrupted him: "Damn, where are you thinking? I said I answered a phone call yesterday, and there was a eunuch's voice on the other side, asking me if you were Zhao Sanliang?
I said yes, and then I didn’t say anything. I hung up the phone after a while of silence. I was in a hurry to go out this morning. Besides, I didn’t think of a way to figure it out. I haven’t had time to tell you two yet. Why don’t we go in?
When we were at the Mogao Grottoes, this beautiful woman gave me a note, which said: I made the call. I pulled her aside to ask questions. You know what happened next, but I didn’t ask anything.
But based on my feeling, this woman should be related to our matter."
Zhu Kaihua is a person who usually talks nonsense, but never messes around when something happens. He was still talking nonsense just now. When I said that, he immediately calmed down and asked me: "Is she sent by your eldest and second brothers to take care of her?"
our?"
I said no, I just asked her, and I don’t feel like it. Although this woman sounds innocent and looks innocent, she obviously wants to take the initiative in front of us. Look at everything she does now, she has to lead us.
How could my second brother let such a person come to take care of us when three grown men had no clues? We were just about ready to take care of her.
The taxi stopped interrupting our whispers. When we arrived at the hotel, there was a restaurant in the lobby on the first floor. I ordered the more expensive and tasty ones on the menu, and ordered some local Dunhuang specialties, which were not bad anyway.
I didn't know how much I paid when I ordered it, but ended up ordering a whole table. Even the waiter looked at the four of us with a bit of disbelief. Of course, I wasn't in the mood to care about it. We three grown men had something on their minds.
Naturally, I couldn't finish it after eating a little, but this woman was so light-hearted and her eating appearance was extremely elegant, so we three gentlemen were not ashamed to watch her eating.
Finally, she finished eating slowly and wiped her mouth with a napkin. Then she took something out of the small bag and handed it to me, saying: "Look at this first."
I took it over, and Zhu Kaihua, Zhang Kaixuan and the others also came over here.
Damn! This is a photo of a group of people taking a group photo, all wearing military coats unique to that era. There is one person who looks very familiar to me, because he is my father Zhao Jianguo!
This is the team that Dad and Grandpa Zhang Kaixuan finally formed when they waved the biggest flag?!
I couldn't turn my head around at that time, but Zhang Kaixuan took the photo, looked at it again, and asked her: Where did you get this photo?
The beautiful tour guide said that a week ago, I received a letter, and this was what was in the letter. I know what you want to ask, but I have to say first, I know which of the people in the photo is your grandfather, and I also know which of the people in the photo is your grandfather.
That boy's father, the first one in the second row, is also my biological father. My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Jin. My father, you should also know, is Bai Wenyuan.
Zhang Kaixuan nodded and said, I know.
I understood. It turned out that this girl was also a descendant of a member of the team back then. But even if I knew this, I couldn't explain why I answered the phone. I just looked at her and said: Even if it is this, you still have a lot to say, right?
? How did you know the hotel I was staying in and the phone number in the room?
At this time, her initially naughty and cute expression had faded away, and her whole demeanor seemed to have changed, becoming very elegant and dignified. She said: When I first received this letter, I was also
I was completely confused, and it was about my father, so I couldn't help but be anxious. When he left home, he said that he was going to do something big, which was very dangerous, and that he might not be able to come back. The next twenty years really didn't happen.
According to the news, even my mother thought it was impossible for him to still be alive, but this letter brought a change of hope.
I agree with her statement. Before receiving the letter asking for help, the three brothers had already given up on searching for a needle in a haystack. I think she had the same idea as I did at that time: if she is still alive, she will
Come back. If you don't come back, it will be very bad.
The three of us men kept silent in a tacit understanding, like good listeners. Listening to her slowly talk about what happened after that, the more I listened, the more I felt ashamed, and the more I liked her, the appearance of the woman.
It's all just clouds. Only women with wisdom are the most attractive.
"After receiving the letter, I felt like I had caught something, but I was helpless. But a week ago, I received another text message. The content was very simple, just three words: Go to Dunhuang. I have never seen the number, but
This content naturally connected me to the letter I received. I called back, but my phone had been turned off. I checked with my friends at the mobile company and found that this number belonged to Lhasa and belonged to a street card.
Registering the ID card. Obviously, the other party didn't want me to know his identity. Later, I decided to follow his text message and came to Dunhuang. No matter it was a scam or something, I had to give it a try. After I came,
But he didn't come to the message prompt. Although I couldn't get through his phone, I could send him a message. I told him that I had arrived in Dunhuang. After a day, he might see my message and send me a reply.
After Zhao Sanliang and Zhang Kaixuan introduced you, there was no contact again.
Just last night, I received another text message from him. He gave me a number and asked me to find Zhao Sanliang. He asked me to find out your destination and then I could find the whereabouts of my father. Then I made a call.
past."
I asked: Then when you called me, why did you hang up without asking anything?
She paused and said: "Because I realized that I might be being used. There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason, but why would this person who sent me a message help me? I don't
I think he pities me for losing my father twenty years ago, so he must have his purpose. He asked me to find you and ask about your destination. Why should I do what he said? Are he and I friends or foes?
Not necessarily. If he relies on my identity to trick you, what should I do if he uses me and then abandons me? And I feel that my background and yours are both missing family members, so we are on the same front.
.”
I couldn't help but wonder and said, you could have just made it clear last night. Why are you being so mysterious?
She looked at me like I was a fool, "Do you think he can know your hotel phone number and my phone number? Is it possible that he doesn't know what we said on the phone? Is there anyone who can control all this?
So much energy, so I had to be careful. I found out last night that the phone number he gave me was this hotel. I sat across the road all night and waited for you to go out before I followed you. Then I pretended to be a tour guide and contacted you. I
I'm just afraid that we are all being followed. That person has the ability to follow and monitor us. Isn't it hard for you to think of this?"
After what she said, it was definitely not difficult for me to think of it, but I have to admit that I had never thought of coming to this place before. I thought she was looking for me secretly to avoid Zhang Kaixuan and Zhu Kaihua. It turned out that she was trying to avoid the people behind her.
third party.
And who is this person behind it?
It seems that he is involved in all our actions. Like an invisible big hand, driving the process of the whole thing. Maybe the only thing he can't control is my eldest brother and second brother, otherwise he wouldn't do everything possible to get rid of me.
Their whereabouts are known here, but his calculation must be wrong, because I am also an outsider, and I don't know where they are now.
At this time, Bai Jin regained her mischievous expression and said to the three of us: This is my business. Now tell me what you know. Resource sharing, more people are more powerful, right?
Zhang Kaixuan and I looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
If what this girl said is true, then there is nothing wrong with us telling her what we know. After all, she is also a descendant of a member of the team. To use a legal term, she also has the right to know.
If what she said is false, for a person who knows so much about what happened back then, if we want to rule out the possibility that she is a descendant of a member of the team back then, then there is only one explanation left - this Bai Jin is the one behind it
That him.
But even if she is the one behind him.
Do we need to hide it?
Whatever we do and know, the one behind us also knows it.
What we don't know, he also knows.
Should I say it or not? I hesitated.
I stood up and said, "Oh, I drank too much tea and I need to urinate urgently. I need to go to the toilet first." Zhang Kaixuan also stood up and said, "I just want to go too, let's come together." After saying that, he winked at Zhu Kaihua and asked.
He stared at the girl.
In the men's room, we were hiding in a corner, smoking cigarettes and discussing. I asked him, do you believe this woman?
He said: "When she spoke, I paid close attention to her expression. She was not lying, but if she was really lying, this woman would be terrible. If she can act so realistically, all the movie queens and so on will be nothing."
"Then what you mean is, tell her and then we can figure out a solution together?"
He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then said: Tell me, you don't feel it. In fact, we are all the same. We know too little, so little that we dare not let go of any clues? And even if she is the person behind it, she will
If we tell her what we know, it won't affect anything, right? The person behind the scenes doesn't know the whereabouts of those two people in your family, so we know?
I said yes, and then we went back to the hotel lobby. What am I hiding at this point? From the moment I received the letter, to Yulin Mountain, I told her everything that happened after that. Everyone is familiar with it, and I don’t know.
retelling.
After she listened to me talk about the last Buddhist painting we got, she asked me: Have you brought the Buddhist painting? Let me take a look.
I didn’t bring the original Buddhist painting with me. I just made a few copies before coming. I took it out of my bag, handed it to her, and said, “Well, that’s it. That’s why we thought of the Mogao Grottoes.”
After seeing the painting, she stood up immediately and shouted
