I Am a Big Player

Ren He was standing in a small restaurant by the side of the desert road, outside was the sky full of yellow sand flying, the sun was shining on the earth, the whole world seemed to have turned into a yellow silent film.

Ren He pulled off the scarf covering his mouth, spit out the faint yellow sand in his mouth: "Boss, do you still have fish-flavored shredded pork?" He pointed to the faded and mottled menu on the wall of the small shop, happily asked.

It is a bit kind to see the words Yuxiang pork shreds and Kung Pao chicken in this demonized no-man's land.

The entire journey is 3,600 kilometers, which cannot be reached in a day. Ren He felt that it would be better to go slower than traveling day and night.

The boss who was dozing off behind the counter raised his head and glanced at Ren He. It is really not easy to have a guest on this road: "Yes!"

Ren He took a look at the price tag on the back of the fish-flavored shredded pork and was startled: "98? So expensive?"

In his impression, in the movie No Man’s Land, Xu Zheng spent 100 yuan to buy a lighter. He knew that the prices in this place with no village in front and no shops in the back might be expensive, but a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork would cost 98 yuan. Have you passed?

The boss entered the kitchen weakly, and Ren He heard the sound of chopping meat, and the boss' words: "15 yuan for beans, 19 yuan for garlic moss, 3.5 yuan for cabbage and radish, 15 yuan for a kilogram of onion, 15 yuan for a kilogram of green onions, A kilogram of garlic is more than fifteen yuan, big brother, the price here is already expensive, don’t think I’m bad, even if you go to a small town, it’s not much cheaper than me.”

Well, Ren He knew that he came prepared when he heard it, and his rhetoric was all set, but Ren He would never believe his rhetoric that the price was the same in a small town. Isn't it possible to kill one by one?

"A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of Kung Pao chicken, and a plate of Maoxuewang." Ren He happily did not argue with the boss: "Another bottle of beer!"

After leaving Jiayuguan on this road, during the journey from Urumqi to Ili Horgos on the border, most of the time was spent on the road, and there are not many places where you can have a good meal on the roadside.

Fish-flavored shredded pork 98, Kung Pao chicken 88, Maoxuewang 198, the price is really expensive, but Renhe is not short of money, and if you finally have a stutter, you must not let it go. Next to the menu is just a few typings: satellite phone available.

At this place, ordinary mobile phones really have no signal.

"Excellent," the boss exclaimed, "Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."

After the food was served, Ren He took a look at it. It was not bad. It can only be said to be home-cooked, but it's not bad.

"Young man, I think you are continuing to go to the southwest to buy some dry food. The further west you go, the less you will be able to reveal your wealth," the boss kindly reminded.

Ren He is happy, who said that Xichuyangguan has no old friends and no good people? He wasn't worried that the boss would add something unclean to the dishes to murder him. Master-level investigative skills included simple skills to distinguish the taste, so there was nothing wrong with the dishes.

The boss is probably rare to see such a proud customer, knowing that he was slaughtered, he ordered three dishes in one go, but what he said is also correct, Ren He hasn't got the gun yet, so it is not absolutely safe.

And even if you get the firearms, you can shoot whoever provokes you? Ren He can't do this kind of thing, so I still listen to the boss, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and try to keep a low profile in the future.

Originally, his off-road vehicle was relatively ostentatious, but after the wind and sand blowing through these days, the dusty appearance on the vehicle was nothing special.

Ren He put aside the topic: "Isn't greenhouse vegetables popular here in Xinjiang? Why are the prices so expensive?"

"Who knows," the boss is also interested in chatting with Ren He: "And the wages are still low. I used to work in a factory and only paid 1,800 yuan a month. I really can't afford to live."

"Listen to you, boss, this Northwest is not safe?" Ren He asked.

"It doesn't matter if you stay in the town or the city. The main reason is that I think you are going to a remote place, so I remind you that it is much more peaceful now than before.

It’s just that the desperadoes still can’t be eliminated,” the boss said, shaking his head.

This is in line with Ren He's cognition. There really seems to be no security threat in the city, far less dangerous than people imagined. Of course, violent incidents are often heard.

In fact, the main tourist routes in Xinjiang are to avoid most dangerous places. No group will take the initiative to take tourists to desolate places, which are at least protected by the government.

However, Ren He has never really seen what the wilderness is like. The most important thing for him now is to go to Korgos City to receive the equipment. Steve has already called him, and the person who sent the equipment Have been waiting outside the border for 3 days.

After receiving the equipment, Ren He will return to Karamay, and he has to consider one more thing. If the wild yaks in Karamay are not enough for him to complete the task, he may have to go to Hoh Xil in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the southwest of Qinghai.

Ren He asked in a low voice, seemingly casually: "Boss, is poaching still so rampant in Karamay now?"

The boss's face changed after hearing this: "Young man, don't inquire about this matter, it has nothing to do with you, you young student who has no strength to restrain a chicken, don't get involved with them."

It seems that this poaching gang is also famous in this area, yes, with a gun in hand, it is normal to be fierce.

However, Ren He is not an ordinary person, and Ren He himself is here for this group of people. The purpose is to protect the wild yaks, so as not to hurt people, but if someone really provokes them, the global fanatics who have caused the entire CIA combat team to fall into the sand have no reason to be afraid of these bandits.

Ren He took out 400 yuan and put it on the table: "No need to look for it, thank you boss!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to get in the car and leave, but the boss said weakly: "Ahem, you still need me."

Ren He was stunned for a moment: "Yuxiang Pork Shredded 98, Kung Pao Chicken 88, Maoxuewang 198, only 384!"

"Beer... 36 bottles of beer..." the boss explained.

Ren He's face turned dark at that time, you want 36 yuan for a bottle of Tsingtao beer? He honestly made up another 20 yuan, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Now, Ren He has a general understanding of this no-man's land.

Even the owner of this small restaurant thinks that Ren He is a student who is easy to bully. Ren He is a bit dumbfounded, but this is also his advantage. Who would have thought that he would bring energetic equipment to fight against poaching gangs?

Let's keep a low profile and find the traces of the poaching gang first.
