Chapter 156 – Finally Found – Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Deep in Tengori, 4:30 PM.

“Peak you sit up here!”

Bean sprout boy kept waving to me, he and millet Xiaoxuan sitting on a wooden board, the front pulling the wooden board is the red eyes, I have heard of dog sledding before, in front of me, I guess this is considered to be a person pulling the sand sled.

Red-eyed like a capricious old ox, the wooden board with three men sitting on it slid across the dune, leaving a long drag mark in its place.

I followed behind and waved my hand and laughed: “You guys are also too bad, how to be so pitiful Huang Dabao ah.”

“What a pit!”

Bean sprouts boy sitting cross-legged on the wooden board, do not think that said: “have a car not sit is a fool! He said to pull the millet to go, millet and called me and Xiao Xuan, are fucking gone for a month, I have lost ten pounds, after going back to the people do not call me bean sprouts boy, change call me mushroom boy.” Said words, bean sprout boy pulled out less than half a pack of cigarettes, carefully draw out a point, he sat cross-legged on the board and inhaled deeply, to Xiao Xuan hair is a burst of gulping fog, the appearance of unspeakable cozy.

“Ahem!”

“Ahem!”

“Get lost, choke to death.” Xiao Xuan stomped Bean Sprout Boy down.

“Hey I grass,” bean sprouts boy people fall smoke is not yet extinguished, he again want to cheeky to the car squeeze, the result this time Xiao Xuan and millet take foot stomping him, do not let him come up.

I shook my head as I watched the scene breathlessly.

Just then.

Fish suddenly tapped me: “Look at those in front.”

I raised my eyes and saw a few wisps of smoke in the distance in mid-air, like someone was cooking over a fire.

“Man!”

“There’s someone up ahead!”

No wonder I’m excited, it’s been such a grueling and long journey.

“Someone’s making a fire for dinner? That’s not a mirage, is it?” The scene came so fast that Bean Sprout Boy saw it too, and he wiped his eyes as he looked on, somewhat in disbelief.

We did it the old fashioned way, Fish and I held Beanpole’s legs and jacked him up.

After looking at it for a minute or two, Bean Sprout stomped his legs and said excitedly, “No! It’s not a mirage in the desert! It’s a real…real people making fire and cooking!”

“Go, go, go, try to get to that place before dark.”

Thanks to Red Eyes, I chose to bet on a dead horse, and I won, the direction and route he remembered was correct, and we had found traces of a number of people camping two days before, which led us all the way to follow after them.

Tengger Desert is flat, no mountains, a glance in addition to the sand is sand dunes, far from seeing this wisp of smoke in the sky, looking not much farther, to their own feet step on the sand to go that way, that’s far away.

I saw the smoke less than 5:00 and didn’t get close to the area until after 6:00, and by this time it was evening, not quite dark, and the light was dimming all around.

“Shhh ….. Don’t talk ….”

“All crouch down.” Fish beckoned, and then we all ducked down the sandy slope and peeked ahead.

Sandy slopes, not far in front of the open space, set up a lot of camping tents | tents, tents | tents have red, blue, square, round, large and small, colorful are there, the brand is not the same, such as we use is the Takoli brand, and those tents | tents have a camel brand, shepherd’s children brand, as well as can not read the English brand, roughly under the number of at least 20 more than one.

Bean Sprout Boy whispered: “Why are there so many people? Fengzi, you still remember, don’t you? Last time we came here, there were only a few, why are there so many now? Where did all these people come from.”

I frowned and said I don’t know, it doesn’t feel good, don’t show your head yet and see what happens.

Our group was hiding on the sandy slope and talking in low voices, then I saw people coming in and out of the tent in the distance, some people were carrying rice pots, some people were carrying plastic bags, these people were coming in and out of the tent and didn’t say hello to each other when they came across each other.

It’s dinnertime, and they’re all out building fires and cooking.

“Peak…Peak Zi …..” Bean Sprout Boy’s eyes looked straight at a place and kept shaking me with his hand.
