After a short conversation, Cheng Chong gradually learned that the old herdsmen were also the victims who had to work for them because they were coerced by the group of damn Yidong organization, and lost three relatives.
But the people of Yidong organization distorted the facts and pushed this guilt and hatred on the people against them, so as to provoke mutual hatred, so as to force the old herdsman family to use their enemies for generations.
This is their usual trick. Their means are extremely mean and bad, and their intentions are extremely sinister and cunning.
Fortunately, the experienced old herdsman himself is generally reasonable. He knows very well who is the real enemy of his family and who is the enemy of his family's enemy.
What should we do to the enemy and what should we do to the enemy?
Nevertheless, he has many helplessness. On the surface, he can only follow them. Secretly, he can use his own methods to fight against the demons organized by ITO and deal with them.
For example, when he went out to herd sheep, he also took people organized by Yidong to watch the wind and watch, but most of him just didn't work and pretended. On the contrary, sometimes he will provide convenience to those who come to trouble them.
This can well explain why the old herdsman should save himself.
After figuring out these, Cheng Chong's stone hanging in his heart fell down. It can be seen that justice is free in the hearts of the people. Those who have a dark heart and specialize in murdering others in order to achieve their own ulterior purpose, no matter how eloquent and eloquent they are, they can't escape the bright eyes of the public.
Facing the kind but poor old herdsman in front of him, Cheng Chong felt very unhappy. He didn't know what to say, but fortunately he didn't die recklessly just now. Otherwise, he would be too late to regret.
"You have to get out of here quickly! The leader of this Iraqi extremist organization is Maimaiti. He is very insidious, cunning, cruel and has a deep mind. This is only one of their secret bases, not their headquarters. They will soon learn the news that the secret base has been bombed and send people to inquire around, so you must be careful Get out of here so that you can be safe. " After talking for a while, the old herdsman said to Cheng Chong anxiously. He was thinking about Cheng Chong's safety in his heart.
Cheng Chong naturally knows that the secret base destroyed last night is not their headquarters. They have been tossing around in this area for decades. There must be more than one secret base. As for the name of the leader of Yidong organization, he heard it for the first time.
"I'm gone. What do you do?" Cheng Chong was still hesitating and asked casually.
This sentence sounds like a casual question, but in fact, it implies two meanings. One meaning is to ask me what to do about your personal safety after I leave? Because the people of Ito's organization may find some clues and trouble him. Another more important meaning is that if I leave, will you expose my identity and whereabouts? After all, you have to get along with them for a long time.
After all, this problem is too serious, Cheng Chong has to be careful.
The old herdsman is over half a century old. When he sees more about the world, he naturally sees through and becomes smart. Seeing Cheng Chong asking such questions, of course, he soon understands what the Chinese soldier in front of him wants to ask.
But seeing his two palms on his chest, he spread them up and said very sincerely: "I am a devout believer. I promise in the name of Allah that I will not disclose any information about you to them. Please believe me, we are friends. I like China and I yearn for China. There is no war, no killing, no sadness, no grief and no crying."
Seeing that the old herdsman said so sincerely, Cheng Chong had no reason to doubt him. But I still feel a little uneasy in my heart. After all, the old herdsman needs to deal with people organized by Yidong every day. If one day he accidentally leaks his mouth or has to confess to them due to some helplessness, it will be very serious.
This is like a mine buried deep underground. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong, but the potential safety hazards can never be ignored.
But what can I do/
Cheng Chong can't find the most appropriate way to deal with it. He can't take away the kind and poor old herdsman, but he can't kill him. Then, he can only stay. Otherwise, what can he do?
Cheng Chong couldn't think of a better way for a moment, so he had to. I can only hope that the old herdsman can keep his word and not reveal his identity and whereabouts. Moreover, he also used the name of Allah they believe in.
"Thank you, uncle!" Cheng Chong leaned on his feet, suddenly stood straight, and then gave the old herdsman a standard military salute.
The old herdsman quickly and respectfully gave Cheng Chong a custom gift.
After the salute, Cheng Chong quickly turned around and ran forward with a big step. After a short rest, his physical fitness recovered to a certain extent.
"Wait a minute!" The old herdsman waved and shouted behind.
Cheng Chong was surprised and stopped quickly, wondering if he had anything else to do?
"Anything else? Uncle!" Cheng Chong turned and asked, and then he felt a little more defensive.
"You still have a long way to go back. How can you do without water and food? You can take these on the road." The old herdsman still had that calm expression. While talking, he handed Cheng Chong the soft leather water bag he had just drunk and an object wrapped in kraft paper.
Wrapped in sheep kraft paper were two roasted golden nangs about the size of the washbasin. The temperature in the desert is high, and other foods are easy to deteriorate. However, dry Nang can be preserved for a long time. It can be regarded as a very good food according to local conditions. The water and Nang should be the provisions of the old herdsman when he went out to herd sheep. He took them out and handed them to Cheng Chong.
Cheng Chong was moved for a while, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it down. His heart is also very clear that without water and food, I'm afraid even the camel known as the boat of the desert will be difficult to get out of this desolate Gobi desert, not to mention people.
He took the water and food and said several thanks. When he was about to turn around and leave, the old herdsman said again: "do you know which way to go will be closer?"
Cheng Chong was stunned. It was a completely strange place for him. Moreover, he didn't have much experience in walking through and living in the desert Gobi desert. These days, he doesn't know how many mistakes he has made, how many detours he has taken, and how many hardships he has suffered?
The desert is far from as beautiful as it looks, let alone as simple and single as it looks.
Now the old herdsman wants to give him some advice. Why don't you appreciate it?
"Thank you for your advice!" Cheng Chong quickly said thanks. He also really wanted the advice of the old herdsman in front of him. The old herdsman often deals with the desert and Gobi desert, and of course he has much more experience than him.
When the old herdsman saw that the young Chinese soldier became modest, he immediately felt that he had been greatly respected. Then he became interested. Then, he gushed and instructed Cheng Chong without privacy to teach relevant desert survival knowledge.
He explained to Cheng Chong bit by bit from the judgment of direction in the desert, prevention of temperature difference, search for water source, the relationship between the shape of sand dunes and wind direction, and matters needing attention in the desert.
However, the time is urgent, and there is no room for any delay. The people of the ITO organization may trace it at any time. The old herdsman was also well aware of the interests. Finally, he actually stretched out his hand to point out several roads to Cheng Chong, including one that was closer and easier to walk, and said that if you go straight along this road, you can walk at least 120 kilometers less.
After hearing these words, Cheng Chong was surprised and stunned. He never expected that this ordinary and honest looking old herdsman knew so much. Even there were several roads leading to China, which was easy to go and which was close, and there would be something on the road. He knew almost everything clearly. Moreover, He is just an ordinary herdsman.
In this way, almost everyone of the most herdsmen on the border is qualified as a spy.
However, this is the reality, which is why herdsmen on the border are repeatedly used by people with ulterior motives.
Cheng was stunned for a while. Although he was still immersed in shock, it was not a day or two. At the moment, it was not a news, let alone a key point.
The most important thing for him at the moment is to leave here smoothly.
Then I thought of thanking him. After knowing the basic situation of the nearby road, I waved goodbye to the old herdsman, turned around and ran towards the road without doubt.
With the careful guidance of the old herdsman, the return road was washed away more smoothly. At this time, we no longer need to walk day and night, but sweat ceaselessly no matter day or night. Of course, running and walking on the desert Gobi desert in the hot sun consumes a lot of physical energy.
But he didn't stop easily and ran away all the way.
He knew very well that he had left the army for a few days without permission. What had happened in the army? And what preparations have been made for it? What will the comrades in arms of the half moon checkpoint do if they can't find themselves? Will platoon commander Gao Bing report to his superiors? After company commander Yu zhanhu learned the news, will he ask for someone?
He doesn't know any of this.
All he can do now is to go back day and night. Fortunately, along the way, the old herdsmen pointed out the direction for him. At the same time, the water and food provided to him also provided material guarantee for him to cross the desert Gobi smoothly.
My heart is like an arrow, moving forward rapidly all the way.
Cheng Chong once again gave full play to his extraordinary physical ability. In the hot sun on his head, he opened his legs and struggled forward. Sweat spilled all the way.
