if only hug

"This thing is called a flower tree," Xiao Hua explained, "You have seen its function, and it is used for gift giving. For the first time, there is no unified way to ask people to do things. These days, people will never help you for no reason. I'm afraid that most of the money will not be accepted, so there is such a set. The flowers carved on it are not ordinary flowers, and the meanings to be expressed are all inside. The dead people go to the court and send the flowers and trees to the judge. Peach blossoms will be carved on it, which means "escape" and help escape; in real estate disputes, most of them will be carved with osmanthus flowers, which means "return", meaning that it is bound to win, and so on. They are all conventional things, and everyone understands them at a glance. The situation you mentioned, based on my experience, is mostly in US dollars."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help being amused, this gift also came with tricks, Xiaohua looked at him and continued: "Don't laugh, it's nothing strange, this thing has been around since the Republic of China, and it was originally used to deal with foreigners Yes, the commission paid after the work is called "Huamu", which means to reimburse the expenses, and it was extended later. Chinese sculpture is famous, so find a reliable master, and the kung fu will be perfect. It's good to eat."

"Then you just broke it?" Wu Xie looked at the wreckage of the wooden box.

"This thing is useless, and its meaning has long been different from what it used to be. This is evidence, and it is for you to destroy it. This is the reason why it is so strict. One is that you are afraid of falling into other people's hands, so you will withhold it privately, and the other is that you want to open it. You can only destroy the box, which is a one-time thing.”

"Why the US dollar? Isn't the US dollar depreciating?"

"Speaking of which, it's all a matter of convention. It's the same as giving away a certain brand of mobile phones in commercial activities. They think they have face and can represent the market. In fact, this is all straightforward, and it's not popular now. This is the way it is, and it’s still used between the old nine doors. Nowadays, people give gifts with more tricks, such as those who deliberately lose money by playing mahjong, those who invite them to visit the scenic spot for 'inspection', and those who recognize godfather and goddaughter. , Heh, I almost forgot my wife at the leader's house."

Wu Xie bowed his head and didn't speak. Zhang Qiling protected him too well and was too careful. All along, he kept him behind him, silently blocking all disturbances from the outside world for him, lest he get a little bit of dirty water, Zhang Qiling didn't do anything. Wrong, he just wanted to protect his innocence almost paranoidly, but he ignored the most important point, that is not the real innocence.

Glancing at the person in front of her, Xiao Hua felt a little helpless, and sighed: "Wu Xie, if I were Zhang Qiling, I think I would make the same decision, but unfortunately, I'm not him."

Wu Xie watched him silent for a long while, then paused before saying in a low voice: "Xiaohua, I'm not ignorant of what you just said, I'm not stupid, and, during the two years in Germany, I also It's not in vain, I just thought, there is always something different, there is always something worthy of my trust, can you understand?"

Xiao Hua snapped her fingers quickly, and looked up, Wu Xie was looking down at the debris on the table, with a nonchalant look.The candlelight hit his emaciated cheeks, and the light of the candles reflected in his eyes, which were clear and bright, and Xiaohua suddenly understood that true innocence was not because he didn't know how dirty the world was, but after seeing the dirtiness. , still willing to believe in its beauty.

Then she raised her head and smiled, Xiaohua supported her head: "Talking to you, my heart becomes clean, Zhang Qiling is so lucky."

Wu Xie lowered his head and put the gold nugget away, are you lucky?Up to now, he still doesn't know whether these naive thoughts of his are a kind of disaster for Zhang Qiling.

The journey was more difficult than imagined. Before entering the Gobi, the old woman had warned him that the Gobi in this area would eat people, and after entering, they would not be able to get out. At that time, everyone just smiled and didn't take it seriously. They didn't realize until the car drove in that the woman's words were not scaremongering.The magnetic field here is quite chaotic and very strong. Once you enter, all the navigation equipment will fail, let alone the mobile phone signal.Fortunately, there was a Caucasian among the people who came, and he relied on his excellent sense of direction to help guide the way along the way. With a map and directions, Wu Xie finally found traces of people in the Gobi after two days.

It was on the shaded side of the sand dunes, a good place to keep out wind and sand. When Wu Xie passed by, he saw a burnt charcoal pile and a few missing food packaging bags at a glance.Jumping out of the car in a hurry, after looking through it carefully, Wu Xie found that it was left recently, it was the place where Zhang Qiling and the others rested, and the time was at least after the rain, that is to say, it was less than five years since they left here. God, thinking of this, Wu Xie couldn't help but get excited.

"What's this?" A young boy kicked out a long strip of things from the sand, bringing up a piece of sand, and Wu Xie's heart sank immediately when he raised his eyes, it turned out to be a bloody bandage.

Pushing away more sand, Wu Xie's face became worse the more he looked at it, and now there are many bandages underneath, all of which are used, white, red and black mixed together, very dazzling.

"It's very messy, it's not from one person," Xiao Hua put her hand on Wu Xie's shoulder to express comfort, "It seems that they must have encountered something, be careful later, this place is already very close to where the map is. "

Wu Xie took a deep breath and nodded slowly. There was no trace of Zhang Qiling here. Wu Xie didn't know if he was in those bandages, but something uneasy suddenly arose in his heart. No, we must see him as soon as possible.

"We don't rest at night, we rush over overnight."

Xiao Hua nodded without saying anything.

I thought I could reach the destination earlier in this way, but what Wu Xie didn't expect was that things that had been going well all of a sudden changed, and there was a storm.

The wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and the fierce wind collided between the sand dunes and valleys, sending out waves of creepy low roars, like countless men and women whispering in their ears.The sky is full of dark and turbid areas. It is obviously not dark, but the visibility is less than five meters. The speed of the car is very slow, and the window glass is hit by the gravel mixed in the wind and sand from time to time. A frightening noise.

Seeing this scene, the driver's legs went limp. He had never seen such a violent sandstorm, and the entire car was almost toppled over.Wu Xie looked back, his car was not bad, Fatty and Xiao Hua were both people with good psychological qualities, so they were naturally not afraid, but it was hard to say about those behind, Wu Xie turned on the walkie-talkie, trying to contact the people behind Several cars called a few times, but there was no response. Wu Xie looked through the binoculars, only to realize that there was no off-road vehicle in sight!

Nothing will happen, Wu Xie frowned, and reached out to pull the car door, but was stopped by the fat man in time: "Naive, why are you going?"

"The people behind didn't keep up, I'll go and have a look."

"You're fucking crazy, it's so windy and sandy outside, you don't want to die?"

Just as Wu Xie was about to answer, there was a loud "bang", the car body shook, and the front window suddenly went black. Wu Xie was startled, no, there is something on the roof of the car!

It was too dark to see clearly, but Wu Xie knew it was a living creature. He had heard from the old woman earlier that there were monsters eating people in this desert. Could it be that Wu Xie was so lucky that he ran into it?

With their hearts hanging in their throats, everyone silenced, held their breath and took out their weapons, ready to strike it at any time. The black object on the front window twisted, and then suddenly turned white. Everyone was stunned, and then took The hand holding the weapon loosened, and it turned out to be a human face!And he was leaning against the glass and looking into the car, with a smile on his lips. The most disgusting thing was that this person was actually wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face!

Wu Xie cursed secretly, opened the car door with difficulty, and then a familiar figure came in, raised his hand and smiled at them, "Hey, young master!"

The driver didn't seem to have come to his senses, and before he realized what was wrong with the "little third master", Xiao Hua took the lead in knocking him out with a knife in his hand. Xiang Hei glasses: "Why are you here?"

The black glasses smiled, the sunglasses blocked his eyes, and he didn't know who he was looking at: "I've been waiting for you here."

"Wait for me?" Wu Xie was surprised, and the fat man muttered when he heard it: "Hey, how did you know we would come here?"

The black glasses didn't answer, just smiled, Wu Xie suddenly became alert: "You know where Zhang Qiling is, what are you going to do?"

"I don't do anything, you think too much."

Wu Xie didn't believe it: "You want to prevent me from going to him? Is it the other party or Zhang Qiling?"

Hei Glasses raised his hands in a gesture of surrender when he heard this, and said with a smile, "No, no, I don't dare."

Wu Xie stopped talking, touched his pocket with black glasses, suddenly asked Wu Xie for a root and started to twitch, and said slowly: "I followed the mutes and the others. I have been here for a few days. After they arrived here, they were received. The attack of the group of snakes, the loss is not small, at least half of it."

"Then where are they now?" Wu Xie asked.

Black glasses took a sip of cigarette: "I went down yesterday."

Wu Xie frowned when he heard that, and the black glasses continued: "If we go now, we can catch up. The mute has been dragging them. Otherwise, how could it be possible to go so long for such a short distance."

Wu Xie looked up at him with an eager expression: "Is what you said true?"

Black Glasses smiled: "I don't need to lie to you, but you can't take them down." Black Glasses pointed to the convoy behind, "I can't protect so many people."

"Why are you helping me? You're not...should stop me?" Wu Xie asked tentatively.

The black glasses shook his head and smiled inexplicably: "I was entrusted by someone, and the task is to protect you. What you want to do is your business."
