Xiong Jiandong turned over and got off the camel, took off his shirt, wanted Hou Yi to wear it on his body, and then tied up her collar and cuffs with straps, as if putting them into a protective bag.
The camel team moved on.
After being wrapped in Xiong Jiandong's shirt, Hou Yiying felt much more comfortable now.
Every once in a while, she couldn't help but look back at Xiong Jiandong with gratitude, worrying that his skin would be burned by the hot sun.
Riding on a camel, Xiong Jiandong has a heroic body and holds his head high against the wind. On his broad shoulders, the surface of the strong muscles is covered with gold sand, shining brightly in the sun, like a golden armor shawl, showing a very heroic appearance.
"Xiong Jiandong looks domineering and heroic. I really can't believe how he turned out to be a blessing in disguise after the explosion in Huaishang. Not only did he become so young and handsome, but he also became so tough.
There is softness in it, and it is full of charm.”
Hou Yiying was stunned and couldn't help but compare it to her postdoctoral fellow in physics, Wang Xiyao, who was in the capital.
Her boyfriend was as thin as a piece of paper. If he poked it with his finger, he would leave a hole. At that moment, Hou Yiying couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Hou Yiying remembered that she only had a few contacts with Xiong Jiandong during her secret mission in Huaishang.
Once, after she enrolled in the Psychology Department of Enyuan College, a meddlesome policeman from the local police station expressed doubts about her admission notice stamped with the seals of the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Department of Education and knew about the graduate class.
It has been more than a month since classes started, and I haven’t seen the student admission list that usually only the admissions office is qualified to issue. I thought it was unreasonable, so I delayed the household registration process.
Helpless, Hou Yiying had no choice but to go directly to Xiong Jiandong, the first deputy director of the police station, and asked him to personally call the police station in that jurisdiction. However, she only revealed her true identity to him at the time and did not explain what mission she was sent to Huaishang.
.
The second time was because during the summer vacation, Hua Nianping, the commissioner of the Huaishang Enyuan Group, agreed to the agreement of the "Yupan Forum" student association, and was accompanied by Chen Hongjuan, a female TV anchor, to talk to the students, and spoke for Hou Yiying.
It left a deep impression. But more than two months later, I learned that Hua Nianping and Qin Xinru, a well-known local female entrepreneur and former film and television actress, were deliberately assaulted by two gangsters at the Youhu construction site.
.
Although it seemed like such a simple and clear case, Hou Yiying couldn't understand why the police had not been able to catch the two murderers for so long.
For this reason, she made a special trip to Xiong Jiandong's office to ask him how the case was progressing?
What puzzled Hou Yiying was that Xiong Jiandong could only say that a large number of police forces had been deployed to investigate and control Qiu Biao, Wang Zhengyi, Dong Liu and other suspects. It was difficult to make any breakthrough.
Through that meeting and conversation, Hou Yiying was not disappointed with Xiong Jiandong, the first deputy director of the Huaishang Police Station, and realized that he only had a handsome and handsome appearance, but in fact his ability was mediocre, so he was never supported.
For a full-time job.
However, Xiong Jiandong, who was thought to have died heroically while defending the Wanshui Gate Dam on the Huaihe River, suddenly appeared in real life in the capital like a ghost. He was resurrected as a completely different person. Not only was he wise and versatile, but he was also suddenly young, cold and sad.
, turned into a Meizu man.
Just this morning, when Xiong Jiandong and she were looking at the scenery of the snow-capped mountains, they were able to stand upright and write poems in an instant. This was Hou Yiying's literary thoughts and feelings that she had never seen from others.
"No matter how you look at him, he doesn't look like the original Xiong Jiandong!"
Moreover, Hou Yiying even thought that Xiong Jiandong was able to take off his shirt and wrap her up safely despite the wind and sand blowing and the hot sun at this time, which also shows his meticulous care for women.
Not far away, I saw a high platform in the desert, faintly revealing a courtyard. When I got closer, I saw a large wooden sign on the top of the high platform. In addition to the Uyghur language, it also said "Desert Inn" in Chinese characters.
This courtyard built in the hinterland of the desert is only as big as two basketball courts, with low walls, a dozen mud houses and large tents. On three sides of the courtyard, there are high gravel slopes to block the wind and sand, leaving an exit.
Not far from the Desert Inn, dozens of kilometers away, is the ruins of the Gencheng Castle, which has a history of more than 2,000 years.
It is said that this place was once the birthplace of jade in southern Xinjiang, which is rarer and more valuable than Lantian jade. Therefore, since the late Qing Dynasty, it has attracted many jade hunters and adventurers to explore for treasures.
It's just that the evaporation rate of the ancient city was extremely high due to the exposure of the sun. Nowadays, not a single blade of grass grows. Treasure hunters generally have to leave the castle in less than two hours. Therefore, this desert inn came into being.
The owners who run the inn are three brothers from the same family. The guests they usually receive over the years are not only the Uighurs who ride camels and horses between towns and villages within a radius of dozens of kilometers, but also the desert tourists who come here to visit them.
Tourist, explorer, jade businessman.
In fact, the Desert Inn can only be regarded as a place to rest, and very few guests actually stay overnight. Because water here is almost as expensive as oil, and the price is calculated based on the pound.
A group of four people got off the camels. The waiter at the inn took the reins and pulled the camels aside to feed grass and drink water.
They chose a table in the tent and sat down.
Hou Yiying asked the boss for a room and asked the waiter to bring two buckets of water in. The boss said that you have to pay for water in the inn, and two buckets were too many, so he could only provide her with half a bucket.
"Just one bucket." Hou Yiying said, "It doesn't matter how much it costs, I'll just give it to you!"
She was anxious to wipe the dust and sweat off her body, and she also understood how precious water was in this desert, so she didn't want to talk to the innkeeper anymore.
"Girl, you have such a big breath, why don't you come over and have a drink with me?"
This thin voice had evil intentions and came from another tent nearby.
There were several people sitting around a table there, eating roast mutton and drinking white wine and beer. There were several sabers on the table.
Like Xiong Jiandong, they were all naked from the waist up, revealing their dark skin. It was impossible to tell which ethnic group they came from in southern Xinjiang.
One of them, a bearded man in his thirties, was tall and looked like the leader of this group of people, because those people were watching his eyes. The bearded man narrowed his eyes, looked at Hou Yiying up and down, and said maliciously, "
"Hehe" he smiled, wishing he could swallow her into his stomach right away.
Behind the bearded man stood a young man, using a round fan to cool him down.
There were more than a dozen men in the entire inn, but there was only one woman, Hou Yiying.
The bearded man's gaze was always inseparable from Hou Yiying's body. The woman's sharp trousers and perky upper chest outlined an alluring arc for him.
