We rode in the off-road vehicle driven by Shitao and ran in the endless desert. The vehicle rose and fell with the sand. Because of the great resistance in the sand, the engine roared from time to time.

Although this car has good performance, when facing nature, various human machinery will at some point show a sense of powerlessness.

On the edge of the desert, there are some white houses gathered together. These are built by locals nearby. You can count it as a small resort or a farm stay. In short, it is specially prepared for those who come here to travel. You can eat special roasted whole sheep and ride camels into the desert.

Shi Tao took us and stopped at a place where white houses gathered. "Let's rest here and go in. Then we can't drive, we can only ride camels, and we need to find a good guide."

When we got out of the car, Shi Tao went to negotiate with someone, and then hello us. The fat boss greeted us warmly with a small hat with Xinjiang characteristics, "Hey, friends, welcome!"

Shi Tao introduced to us, "He is the boss here. I knew him when I was in Xinjiang before. But his name is too long and I can't remember it. We always called him Sadiq."

The boss smiled and pushed Shi Tao, "We are old friends, he always likes to joke with me! Just call me Sadiq!"

Sadiq invited us into the house and asked us to sit down. After pouring a large cup of yogurt for each person. I have heard of this yogurt before, it is made of goat milk. I always think that the yogurt made of goat milk must be stinky and sour.

I didn't want to drink it, but I couldn't resist the enthusiastic Sadiq's persuasion, so I reluctantly took a sip. I didn't expect it to taste really good! Very delicious!

Sadik saw me and laughed, "It's okay, this is how we drink the yogurt here for the first time!"

After taking two sips of yogurt, Shi Tao asked, "Lao Sa, how is my request to you?"

Hearing Shi Tao's words, Sadik showed a embarrassed expression, "It's not that I don't help, Camel is easy to say, I have it here, but the problem is that the guide is, it's winter now, and the place you are going to is deep in the desert, which is very dangerous, so ordinary guides are unwilling to go."

Kong Xue said: "We can double the money!"

"Hey!" Sadik waved his hand, "This is not a matter of how much money it is. If you don't get rid of your life, you'll be left there! It's very cold in the desert now! Spitting will turn into ice lumps and fall to the ground!"

"Is it true?" I think Sadiq's words were a bit too exaggerated.

Sadiq immediately became very serious, "It's true, it's true, I dare not joke around like this!"

Shi Tao smiled and said, "Lao Sa, you have a wide range of people here, you still have to help!"

Sadik pondered for a moment, "A guide, there is one, but what do you think of him... Alas, you will know when you see him."

Shi Tao stood up after hearing this, "Then let Boss Laosa take us there!"

"Oh," Sadiq sighed, "Well, I really don't know why you all want to go into the desert in this season."

Judging from Sadik's tone, it seemed that there were other people besides us who were going to enter the desert. I asked, "Why are there others like us?"

Sadik nodded, "Some, some, two days ago, there were also a group of people who wanted to enter the desert, but they were not here with me. They rented camels from Old Eni, three kilometers away. However, they seemed to have a guide. They rented more than a dozen camels at once. Now Old Eni was so happy, it was such a big sum of money!"

The three of us exchanged glances with each other. It was easy to think that those who were so anxious to enter the desert and so many people were surely Tang Handong and his group.

But I don’t know where Uncle Second entered the desert. He wouldn’t be so stupid that he went into the desert alone. Actually, I still know that I can’t. Uncle Second, who is an old man who takes one step and looks at three steps must have a very comprehensive plan. I don’t think I need to worry about him first, so I’d better take good care of myself first.

We took Sadiq into the car and went to find the guide he mentioned.

We went directly to a nearby town and stopped in front of a small restaurant inside.

I asked curiously: "What? Is the guide the owner of this hotel?"

Sadik shook his head mysteriously, "But I know he must be in the store."

We walked into the store and it was not dinner time. There were almost no customers in the store. There was only one person sitting on a table. The man was gray-haired and lying on the table. On the table in front of him, there were two empty wine bottles and a plate of mixed vegetables that didn't eat much.

When we approached him, we could smell a strong smell of alcohol. Kong Xue hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and frowned.

Could it be that the guide Sadik mentioned to us is the person in front of us?

Sadik stepped forward and patted the man on the shoulder, "Hey! Dawuti! Wake up!"

Sadik shook for a long time, and the man named Dawuti slowly raised his head and looked at us drunk. After a while, he turned to look at Sadik, "Hey! Sadik! Why are you here!" As he said that, Dawuti began to grab the wine glass on the table, "Come on, let's have a drink!"

"Hey!" Sadiq pushed away his wine glass, "I said Dawuti, can you be more awake every day!"

"Sober, hum! I'm very awake!" Dawuti said, turning his head to look at us, "Come on, you can drink some with me!" Dawuti's sudden action scared Kong Xue and hurriedly took a step back.

Dawuti saw Kong Xue at a glance, "Ayimu! You are Ayimu! You are really back!" Dawuti said, and then stood up and rushed over. I stepped forward to protect Kong Xue behind me, reached out and pushed him, and tripped his feet. Dawuti fell aside.

I thought he would give up, but I didn't expect that this man immediately turned over and jumped up again. Facing Dawuti who was rushing towards me again, I reached out and grabbed the clothes on his chest and wanted to drag him aside, but I didn't expect that Dawuti had relied on his alcohol and became very strong. I pulled it for a few times but was pushed aside by him.

Seeing that he reached out to grab Kong Xue, Shi Tao quickly stepped forward, grabbed Dawuti's wrist, stepped on his body, and threw his waist hard, and threw Dawuti heavily to the ground.

Dawuti couldn't stand up for a while, lying on the ground and humming, muttering, "Ayimu, Ayimu..."

I couldn't help but secretly raise my fingers at Shi Tao's skills. I took out my cell phone and said, "Do you want to call the police?"

Sadik quickly stopped us, "No, no, it's all misunderstandings! Don't call the police for my sake!"

Shi Tao looked at Dawuti lying on the ground, "Lao Sa, you are not very particular about your friend!"

Sadik sighed, "You guys are just as good as he is, this is also a pitiful person! His wife is Aimu, but unfortunately she died of illness a few years ago, and he himself was driven out of the village. Oh, it's very miserable!"

I heard it a little strange, so I asked, "Why did he get kicked out of the village after his wife died? What is the reason? How did his wife die?"

"Oh," Sadik sighed, "Actually, he and his wife lived a good life. Unfortunately, twenty years ago, something happened to his wife in the desert. Here," Sadik pointed to his head, "If something went wrong, his health would become worse and worse. In the end," Sadik spread his hands, "A few years ago, he died of illness. Poor people, I believe Allah will let her enter the paradise!"

"Twenty years ago?!" Now when I hear these words, I feel extremely sensitive. I suddenly remembered the photos from twenty years ago.

I gave a wink at Kong Xue and Shi Tao. They were also blessed with their hearts and immediately understood what I meant. Shi Tao reached out and pulled Dawu, who was lying on the ground, and placed it on the chair.

I pulled Sadiq down, "Boss Sa, tell us what happened back then. How could this good person become like this?"

Sadik sat on the chair and sighed, "Dawuti originally lived in a village not far away. My brother-in-law's friend was from that village. It is said that Sawuti and his wife Ayimu were both working in the oil field, and they both resigned after getting married. At that time, more and more people came here to travel. The two of them started the business of receiving tourists as tour guides. Dawuti was a guide, and his wife helped him and cooked. Their lives would get better and better, but in the winter twenty years ago, a group of people were going to go deep into the desert, saying that they were going to take the exam.

What to look at? In that season, no one wanted to enter the depths of the desert. It was the first time they encountered this situation in so many years. And at that time, Dawuti was sick and they didn't want to take on this business, but the price paid by that group of people was very high, and because they were anxious to enter the desert, the group was willing to pay a higher price. So after thinking about it again and again, Sawuti's wife Ayimu decided to take them into the desert as a guide. She followed Dawuti in and out of the desert countless times over the years, so as to be a guide, it would not be worse than Dawuti. After all, they really wanted that amount of money at that time."

Speaking of this, Sadik looked at Dawuti who was lying on the table again, and then said, "I didn't expect that in the end, only his wife Ayimu came back alone, and she became a little dazed. Whenever someone asked about that experience, Ayimu always seemed very scared and said some inexplicable words. Since then, Ayimu's health has become worse and worse. He finally couldn't bear it a few years ago, so he left. Dawuti was extremely guilty about this matter, thinking that he shouldn't let Ayimu enter the desert by himself. He always felt that Ayimu's death was related to him, and he personally sent Ayimu into the gate of hell! Now, Dawuti gradually became like this now!"

On the surface, we were also filled with emotion and sighing about Dawuti's experience. But my heart was already filled with storms. If I guessed correctly, the people Aimu brought into the desert twenty years ago must be the people who were the second uncle and the others!
