Merchant of the Underworld

The old man may have heard my footsteps. He opened his eyes slightly and raised his head to glance at me. He took out a photo from his arms and compared it with me. Then he knocked on his pipe and stood up, shouting at the camel.

I took a peek and saw that the person in the photo was also me, and it was exactly the same as the death notice Li Mazi received!

This time I immediately became alert.

Could this be a trap in itself? It was not the information Gao Shenghan provided me at all, but a trap set by the disciples of the God of Death.

"Old man, who asked you to pick me up?"

"Give me money?" the old man said without looking back while packing up the ropes tied to the camel.

I was stunned for a moment, took out my wallet, pulled out a few cards and handed them over.

The old man took the money and looked at the sun, then spit out four words along with the smoke: "Your wife."

My wife? I couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that girl who looks like Yin Xinyue again? But how does he know what my wife looks like.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

"Then where did she ask you to take me?"

The old man looked back at me and then at the wallet in my hand: "Not enough money."

I was a little angry, but helplessly drew a few more cards to him.

The old man didn't check again this time. He just put the money into his arms, pointed at the camel in the front and said, "Follow it!"

"Follow it?" I then discovered that the old man's other camels were very old, and the hair on their bodies had fallen out in pieces, just like the Gobi Desert on the roadside. But the one at the front is extremely strong, much taller than the others.

"She gave you this camel too?" I asked.

The old man didn't reply and looked directly at my wallet.

I had no choice but to give him the last few pictures.

He took it and said, "That's right. When we get there, the camel will belong to me and the motorcycle will belong to my son. That's it."

"That means you don't know where you are going? Then which direction is she going?"

The old man looked at me again and said very realistically and straightforwardly: "You have no money."

have to!

It seems that if you don't have any money, don't even think of asking another word from him.

never mind!

It seemed that besides knowing that a woman arranged all this, he didn't seem to know anything else. There was no value in further questioning.

After a while, the old man tied up all five camels quickly.

Judging from the numerous water bladders and bulging bags of food and grass carried on these camels, this trip will take a long way.

"You sit here." The old man pointed at one of the camels and said.

"Then what if I don't go?" I asked back, lighting a cigarette casually.

The old man stepped forward, took out a photo from his arms and handed it to me: "She said if you don't want to go, just take a look at this..."

When I took the photo and looked at it, I immediately understood why he thought the person who asked him to do this was my wife.

Because the people in the photo were Yin Xinyue and Fanfan.

Yin Xinyue had a happy smile all over her face. Fanfan was holding two small fists, staring and pursed his lips. He didn't know who he was angry with. That look was both naughty and cute.

There is also a time stamp in the upper left corner of the photo, marking July 15th.

That is to say, it was the same day that the death notice was sent to me!

What does it mean?

If I don't go, will I take action against Fanfan and Yin Xinyue?

From this point of view, this is definitely not Gao Shenghan's trick. The one who led me all the way here must be the disciple of Death!

Although these guys don't consider themselves killers, their methods are cruel and lawless, and no matter what they do, it's not surprising.

If they seek revenge on me but fail, what will they really do to Fanfan and Xinyue...

Although Zhang Yaowu personally assured me that the Jiangbei Zhang family would never let Fanfan lose even a hair. Yin Xinyue is also surrounded by the crew's security personnel and Wei Yu, but this time her opponent is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

And, what’s going on with this photo? It was obviously taken in the past few days.

Could it be that this fake Yin Xinyue didn't even recognize the master of the Zhang family who was guarding Fanfan? He actually deceived all the masters and got close to Fanfan?

This gang of guys has been around for many years and has committed countless crimes. Top criminal police from dozens of countries have been jointly investigating for many years, but until now, they haven't even figured out their true identities.

If the two of them are targeted by these guys...

I shivered violently and almost didn't dare to think about it anymore!

"Are you going or not?" The old man saw me hesitating and urged me from the side.

"Go!" I slammed the cigarette butt on the ground and flew onto the camel.

Even if this is really a trap set for me by the disciples of Death, I am going to try it!

Otherwise, they will threaten my family at any time, and unless they kill them all, it will be a disaster sooner or later.

"That's right!" When the old man saw me getting on the camel, he immediately became happy and quickly untied the thick rope tied to the neck of the first camel.

The rope seal was very deep, and it seemed that the camel was struggling to get out.

As soon as the rope was untied, it immediately howled and flew forward, as if something was attracting it in front!

But the old man had tied these camels together, so they couldn't run fast even if they wanted to.

After struggling in vain for a while, it accepted its fate and just hurried forward half-step without stopping, shouting something loudly into the distance from time to time.

Amidst the melodious sound of camel bells, we deviated from the road from here and walked straight towards the endless Gobi desert.

There is a time difference of more than two hours between Xinjiang and the Central Plains, and it didn’t get slightly dark until around 10 o’clock.

It was very cold in the desert at night. When the old man saw me hugging my shoulders and shivering from the cold, he handed me a blanket across the camel and said, "Cover me up, it's very cold at night!"

"You saw it too, I don't have any money to give you anymore." I glanced at him and said.

"This is free, and I'll take care of everything you eat and drink."

"Oh?" I asked a little strangely as I took the blanket, "Why, you still have a conscience."

The old man waved his hand and said: "Your wife said, send you there properly and add another 30,000 to my son's card."

It turned out that he had made this calculation. If I didn't go, he would only get a camel and a motorcycle. If I went, he would get an extra 30,000 yuan. So when he saw me getting on the camel, he immediately became so happy!

Now that I have been walking for such a long time, this vast Gobi desert is not afraid of me regretting it and going back!

I took out my mobile phone and sent a text message to Mazi: It's not convenient to contact me at the moment, just send me a message if you need anything.

Then I quickly turned off my mobile phone - if I walked for a while, there would be no signal, and this time I might have to walk for a long time, and there would be no place to charge it.

There is no end to the vast Gobi desert, and until daylight comes, the surrounding scenery seems to have not changed at all.

I don't even know where the destination of this trip is.

After careful calculation, there are only three days left until the last day on the ultimatum!
