On an old-fashioned train, several students of Hao Aiguo were playing poker with Hu Bayi Wang Kaixuan and the others. They were having a great time. They all seemed to feel extremely relaxed about this trip into the desert.
Jiang Chi watched calmly from the side, thinking: "Only when you get to the real desert will you know what it means to be alive."
It is true that these people are knowledgeable, but their understanding of the desert is so superficial that they don't take it to heart.
It seems like an ordinary trip.
For them, there is no danger in archeology. They have experienced it before, but this time they have to go further and have relatively less manpower. That's all.
"It seems that the route will be changed soon."
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Que's lips. Shirley Yang was really good at calculating. She didn't make the decision to change the route until they all got on the train. I really don't know how much courage she had.
Is it just for the ancient notebook left by her father in the Kunlun Glacier?
Jiang Chi suddenly felt that things might not be that simple.
Sure enough, before the thoughts in his mind dissipated, Professor Chen Jiuren's figure appeared in the carriage, and soon he came to the berth where they were.
He said to Hu Badai: "Comrade Hu, please come with me, I have something to ask you."
He and Shirley Yang had discussed it before and looked for a breakthrough from Hu Bayi.
Among the three people in the group, Wang Kaixuan was not stupid, but sometimes he was too lazy to think about anything, and all turned to Jiang Chi's side, and Jiang Chi was the most difficult one among the three.
Hu Bayi has read books and is reasonable, but he has no foreign background.
In this way, it would be best to find him as a breakthrough point, and then let him try to persuade Jiang Chi and Wang Kaixuan, and it would be much easier to change the route.
Hu Bayi nodded slightly to Jiang Qian and Wang Kaixuan, indicating that they were fine and would come as soon as they could.
However, Jiang Chi glanced at Wang Kaixuan and said to him: "Fat man, come with me. Let's go over and see what Professor Chen has to do with Lao Hu."
It must be a secret if you don't let them know.
Everyone is curious. Wang Kaixuan immediately became energetic after hearing Jiang Que's words, and immediately followed Jiang Que towards the joint of the carriage.
At this time, Hu Bayi was heard shouting: "What? You are going to change the route to Kunlun Glacier, why didn't you make it clear before?
I don’t agree, and I won’t agree to anything.”
Chen Jiuren opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but seeing Jiang Que's persistent look, he had no choice but to say to him: "Comrade Xiao Hu, we also made a temporary decision.
How about you think about it again?"
After saying that, he planned to ask Hu Bayi to calm down and think carefully first.
Hu Bayi's excitement and anger made him feel a little uncomfortable. It seemed that it was a mistake to find this guy who seemed to be easy to talk to as a breakthrough?
He took a deep look at Hu Bayi, but the latter seemed not to feel anything.
At this time, Jiang Chi and Wang Kaixuan slowly walked over.
Wang Kaixuan asked in confusion: "Old Hu, what on earth is going on? Then what did Old Man Chen say he wanted to change?"
Seeing both of them coming, Hu Bayi explained: "He said he wanted to change his route to Kunlun Glacier, but there was no news at all before. Isn't this deception?"
The more important reason was actually something he hadn't said yet.
The Kunlun Glacier hides a story of his that is unknown and does not want to be known. He is frightened and frightened by it.
Even after all these years, I didn’t want to mention anything.
However, Wang Kaixuan didn't know and said carelessly: "Old Hu, although they did this unkindly, can't we just ask them to add some money when the time comes?"
As he spoke, he patted Hu Bayi on the shoulder, looking indifferent.
They each already have one hundred thousand US dollars in hand. If they add more, it won't be too little. Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. If Jiang Chi goes to talk about it, they might be able to get a lot more.
Hu Bayi got angry and yelled: "Okay, I told you I don't want to go to the Kunlun Glacier!"
A sudden roar completely frightened Wang Kaixuan.
He froze in front of Hu Bayi and didn't say a word for a long time. He looked at him in surprise and astonishment, and looked a little at a loss.
Next to him, Jiang Chi persuaded him: "Old Hu, please calm down first. Fatty is my brother. We may not know some things, so..."
Hearing what Jiang Qian said, Hu Bayi gradually calmed down and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, fat man. I was impulsive just now. Do you have a cigarette?"
He is very confused and annoyed now.
After taking a look at Jiang Chi and Wang Kaixuan, he gradually explained: "Professor Chen said we should change the route to the Kunlun Glacier. I served as a soldier there, so I know how dangerous it is.
It was an extremely dangerous and scary place, and I never want to go back there again, and that was the beginning of the nightmare."
Hu Bayi said he didn't want to go.
Jiang Que nodded slightly, indicating for him to continue.
Seeing this, Hu Bayi had no choice but to say: "In 1970, not long after I joined the army, the army sent us to the Kunlun Pass on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the entire division was reorganized into an engineering unit.
But at that time, many strange and weird things happened there.
There are many things that I don’t want to think about anymore, and I even say I don’t dare to think about anything. I...I am afraid of that place."
Wang Kaixuan heard this and asked curiously: "What happened at that time?"
Sighing, Hu Bayi smiled bitterly and said: "That year, a comrade named Xiao Luan and I were ordered to deliver a batch of supplies. The vehicle was in good condition when we set off, but something happened midway.
At that time, I was still a monitor..."
He spoke calmly, as if he was neither happy nor sad.
But Jiang Chi could clearly see the fear and fear hidden in his eyes, as well as a trace of self-blame and grief, and even more fear of the mysterious Kunlun Glacier.
However, after Hu Bayi said this, Jiang Que actually became a little interested.
He couldn't help but said: "I don't know what kind of creature the fire ladybug is. It might be a good thing to see it."
Hu Bayi quickly shook his head and said: "Master Jiang, that place is very evil, it's best not to go there.
I know you are very capable, but those fire ladybugs are everywhere. If you get caught by them, you will be injured even if you are not dead. And so far, I have never seen anyone who was injured and still alive.
Anyone who is attacked by a fire ladybug will only die. It is a ball of flame that cannot be extinguished and cannot be fought by mortals.
There are many things that cannot be explained even by current science.
If I hadn't relied on the mystery of Tianxing Feng Shui to escape the disaster, I would have died in that era."
The fire ladybugs came and went without a trace and were extremely fast. Even after more than ten years, he did not dare to say that he could go there to get benefits.
Jiang Que nodded slightly, knowing that Hu Bayi was doing it for their own good, so he stopped him.
I don't mind anything about it.
Instead, he smiled calmly and said: "Old Hu, if I guess correctly, the fire ladybug should be an ancient and mysterious creature.
Although it is very powerful, it may not be impossible to deal with!"
At this time, even Wang Kaixuan also tried to persuade him, "Yes, Lao Hu, they are just some little bugs. We don't have to be afraid when Mr. Jiang is here!"
But Hu Bayi glared at him fiercely and said: "Stop, Fatty Mr. Jiang, you two just listen to me first and then make a decision!"
