Opening the door, the space inside is very small, and there are a few empty water bottles scattered on the ground.
"Yazai!" I saw Douyazai on the ground at a glance. His forehead was covered with blood, his clothes were covered with sand and dirt, and he had passed out.
"do not move....."
Suddenly, I felt someone pressing something on my back.
"Who!" I turned around to see.
"I told you not to move! If you move I'll stab you to death!" Someone behind me suddenly strangled my neck and pressed a knife-like tool against my lower back.
"Tell me, what are you doing? Did Lao Jin send you here?" The voice of the man behind him became more and more excited, and there was a stinging pain. The sharp tip of the knife had already pierced my skin. I felt that if I said the wrong word, then
A knife will kill me.
"Don't be impulsive!" I said nervously: "I don't know Lao Jin. I'm from the research institute. I don't know who lives here. I came down here to save my colleague."
He glanced at the unconscious Dou Sprout, and said with suspicion in his tone, "Are you really not from the Jin Fenghuang sect? Research institute, what kind of research institute."
I said anxiously: "What about Golden Phoenix and Silver Phoenix? I don't know this person at all. We are from the Institute of Geography. My name is Xiang Yunfeng. We are here to interview a few tribes living in seclusion in the desert. It's all a misunderstanding. We treat you badly."
There’s no animosity.”
He frowned suspiciously and fell into deep thought. I was afraid of irritating him and didn't dare to speak. The two of us were so close, I could clearly hear his breathing, which was a little rapid.
He finally let go of the knife on my lower back, and I slowly turned my head, only then could I see the man's appearance clearly.
This man was in his thirties or forties. He was wearing dirty clothes and had a plastic bag wrapped around his head to block the sand. He had deep wrinkles on his forehead, and when he frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead pinched together.
At this time, the guide Lao Zhang's shout came from the entrance of the cave. He asked me loudly what was wrong, why he couldn't see where I was.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm fine. I've found Ya Zai. I'm going to go up now," I said back to him.
After saying that, I raised my hands and said, "Brother, can I take my friend away without disturbing you."
The man gritted his teeth, suddenly pulled out a knife, and threatened me: "Do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes," I took two steps back.
"You can help me send my friend up there. Our camel team has plenty of food."
"What's there to eat?" he asked.
I thought about it and said, "There are compressed biscuits, beef jerky, and some baked naan that I bought locally in Yinchuan."
He swallowed, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll help you get this guy up. In exchange, you have to leave me some food, otherwise... I'll stab you two to death."
I immediately said it was no problem and I would explain it to the team after I got there.
Just like that, after we agreed on the terms, the man and I picked up the bean sprouts and walked out.
As soon as we came out, the people above were startled and shouted, "Who is that Yunfeng!"
