Chapter 121 The Ancient Mirror of the Prophet (8)

Due to the lack of people in winter, there are enough rooms in the store. We asked for one for each of us. After a tiring day, we ordered a pot of mutton soup with hot bags.

The environment of this store is too bad, and there is a strange smell in the room. The smell is indescribable, like the smell of food, and also like a kind of milky smell, which makes people unable to sleep for a long time.

Most of our supplies are handled by Professor Shen, and the XJ Research Institute will help us deliver the supplies. After all, the three of us are too small to take all the supplies on the road.

Just like what Professor Shen said, in this season, those who are still lingering in Tairuo and unwilling to leave are all desperadoes, the kind who dare to risk their lives for money.Therefore, the next morning when the three of us were having breakfast, people kept asking us if we had any work.

Although we are short of manpower, we can't go to the doctor in a hurry. The first few waves of people who came here all looked like they could be of great use, so I pushed them away.

When I was about to finish eating, another person came. This person was thin and not as tall as me. He looked like he could be blown away by the wind, but his eyes were very clear and full of energy, which seemed very reliable.

He sat directly in front of the three of us's table, without any politeness, scooped up a bowl of mutton soup for himself, drank it with a whimper, sighed, and said, "It's warm and comfortable!"

Xiao Qi has a good temper, and the only thing she can't mess with is food. She herself feels that she can't get enough to eat. Seeing someone come uninvited and drink the mutton soup that should belong to her, she immediately stares and says, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Ah, this is our thing, why don't you ask me to scoop our soup!"

The man wiped his mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just came here from the outside and I'm freezing. I don't think you can finish this soup, so I borrow some."

My heart said: Can't finish drinking?Then you are wrong, we only have enough to drink, there is no limit to drink.

Xiao Qi said: "You can borrow it, then you have to pay it back." The man choked, thinking that Xiao Qi was joking, and didn't answer, but said: "Three bosses, my surname is Liu, and everyone here is named Liu. I'm 'liu xiantou'."

Threads, that is, people who build bridges and match wires. Those who came to me before were also so-called threads, but they looked unreliable. The one in front of me seems to be okay.

So I said, "How did you know I needed thread?"

He said with a smile: "Come here at this time of year, there must be big business. Looking at the outfits and equipment of a few of you, they are not ordinary goods. Once you arrive here, there will be more people staring at you."

I have never been in a desert before, nor have I been to an extremely cold area, so the supplies this time were all helped by Professor Shen. I don’t know if our outfit is good or not, but it is expensive, and it is a matter of life and death. Well, Professor Shen won't make up for it with inferior goods.

After Liu Xiantou finished speaking, seeing that I didn't answer, he continued: "It doesn't matter what business is there. At this season, the three of you, two men and one woman, will definitely not be able to break in if you want to. I have a group of people, all of whom are veterans. , let’s draw a line, finish this ticket and celebrate the New Year.”

I said: "People and horses? How many? Do you take any job?"

Liu Xiantou said: "You have as many people as you want! As long as the price is right, there is no job that you dare not take. I don't know where you are going?"

I took out the map, pointed to an approximate area, and said, "Search for an ancient city in this area."

Seeing me swipe on the map, Liu Xiantou was stunned. After a while, he asked me cautiously, "Are you kidding me?"

I said: "It's November, I came here to play a joke on you?"

Liu Xiantou then patted his thigh and said: "Your job is not easy to do. If this is an ordinary place, I will make the decision and agree. But I'm afraid I have to talk to them personally about this job. Will they accept it?" , It’s hard to say, even if you accept it, the price will not be low.”

I said, "Whether it's successful or not, I'll see you first."

Liu Xiantou said: "All right, follow me, I'll take you there." I paid the bill, and the three of them followed Liu Xiantou to the area west of Tairuo.There is a lot of wind and sand outside, and there will be a light snow from time to time. The sand is mixed with snow. People must wear gauze masks, otherwise the nose and mouth will be full of sand in a short time.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and from time to time you can see people evacuating outside, moving supplies to the car. The three of us, in the tide of retreat, are particularly eye-catching.

After a while, we were led to a bungalow. Liu Xiantou knocked on the door and shouted, "Kurban! It's me, here we come." Kurban?Listen to the name, it should be a local.

After knocking on the door twice, someone opened it, and in an instant, a burst of heat and aroma in the room rushed towards our faces.

I took a closer look, good guy, this group of people really enjoyed themselves.

In front of me was a big bungalow without any furniture, a firepit was dug out in the middle, on which stood a roasted whole lamb that was oily and delicious, around ten men were sitting around, the floor was covered with thick felt, They were drinking, eating meat, and playing cards. There was only a high window in the door for ventilation, and it was very warm inside.

Xiao Qi next to me stared straight at the roasted whole lamb, gurgled and swallowed.

The person who opened the door was a young man in his twenties, who looked like a local, wearing a hat, with curly yellow hair on the edge, and let us in.

Liu Xiantou greeted us to sit down, and he saw that Xiao Qi was greedy, so he said, "It's not baked yet, it will be done after waiting for more than ten minutes." Xiao Qi immediately swallowed his saliva and nodded fiercely, as if he had been completely bribed .

As soon as the three of us sat by the fire, all the people in the room stared at us. I took a quick look and found that they were all locals. The XJ people are taller than the Han people, with high noses and deep eyes, and clear outlines. When they gather together and stare at you blankly, they really have a murderous feeling.

However, this kind of aura is exactly what I need now. For this job, I want this kind of brave person.

Almost all the people in this place have been withdrawn, and there are not many people left. I don’t have many choices, so in my heart, I have passed the test for this group of people. Next, I just ask them about their resumes and experience, and talk to them. price up.

Liu Xiantou said before that he wasn't sure if these people would take my job, it was too dangerous after all, but now, I think they would most likely not refuse.

Because in this group of people, I really felt a temperament called bravery and desperation.

These people didn't talk to us either, but directly dealt with Liu Xiantou.

There was obviously a leader among them, a middle-aged man with curly hair and shoulders, a burly figure, and a fierce aura, with a pair of eagle eyes that looked particularly sharp.
