Wen Tingxu said that he had not actually had the idea of ​​"reproducing history" before. However, when he frequently entered Xinjiang and searched everywhere for the truth about the disappearance of the archaeological team, a hawker driving a tricycle around the market provided him with a message.

The hawker is named Yu Sufu, who lives in Zepu County. His hometown is in a village on the easternmost part of the county town, and that village is called Kutchlek.

If Kalayatur village is on the edge of the desert, then Kutchilak is located in the heart of the desert. If you stand on the roof of Kutchilak and look over from four directions, you will see endless yellow sand.

In fact, it turned out that was not the case. When the hawker was young, a small river flowed from the west, flowed through Kutchi, and finally disappeared into the desert. Along the river is a narrow oasis, which connects the small village with the outside world like an umbilical cord.

Later, as the river dried up and the oasis disappeared, Kutchi was no longer suitable for human habitation, and the villagers gradually moved away.

If there were a few families left in the hollow village of Kalayatuer, then the residents of Kutqi would be gone without any left. Yu Sufu's family also moved to Zepu County, but like Zhang Xiangchun, they still had an old house in Kutqi.

There has been a secret hidden in the old house of Yu Sufu family for twenty years.

At that time, Yu Sufu was still young, only seven or eight years old. Kutchi was a small village. Because of the severe desertification, its hollowing out process was earlier than that of other villages.

Yu Sufu's parents sold goods in Zepu County, and he, his sister and grandfather stayed at Kutchi's house. He still remembered that it was autumn and the wind in the desert was chilly. Most of the elderly and children in Kutchi village were so they usually rest early.

As soon as the sun set, the wind blew outside. Grandpa closed the yard door, tied the door to the house, and sent the two children to sleep first. However, when it was late that night, Yu Sufu was awakened by the barking of the dog outside.

"Grandpa, it seems that someone knocks on the door outside."

Grandpa Yu Sufu was shocked. He sat up, listened carefully for a while, and scolded Yu Sufu: "Don't talk nonsense, it's the sound of sand blowing on the door! Kutchi is not on the village or in the shop, and he is so poor that he rings all over the place. Who would knock on the door in the middle of the night! Sleep!"

After being scolded by his grandfather, Yu Sufu had to close his eyes and pretend to be asleep. But he tossed and turned, and could not sleep because he always heard rustling noises in the yard, and occasionally there would be a few dogs barking - because the wind was too strong, the dogs were too lazy to come out to work.

Yu Sufu was confused and fell asleep at some point. The next day, the wind stopped, and he got up early, pushed open the door and found that it was really just like what grandpa said. There was a layer of sand and soil at the door, and the yard was covered with yellow sand. There was no one at all, and there were no footprints.

During lunch that day, his parents, who were doing business in the county, came back quietly.

There were few phone calls at that time, so even if people wanted to come back, they couldn't inform them in advance. Yu Sufu and her sister were very happy to see their parents.

This time my parents came to pick you up to the county town. Because the autumn holiday was on, there was no farming at home, so they wanted to take the elderly and children to Zepu to stay for ten days and half a month, have fun and have a walk. So after lunch that day, the whole family sat in a tractor bucket, facing the wind and sand, and went to the county town with a chat and laugh.

This time, it took twenty days. Twenty days later, my grandfather took Yu Sufu and his sister back to Kutchi Village. The yard of the house was covered with yellow sand, and it seemed that the wind and sand were quite strong recently.

Grandpa, with his two children, wanted to clean the house and the yard, but when he pushed open the tool shed to get the broom, he found a dried body.

The body was a woman. She was probably injured. She might have hid in the tool shed overnight at first, then fell asleep and never woke up again. The weather in the desert area was dry and the wind and sun was strong, so the moisture in the body evaporated rapidly and did not decay or fester.

The body was well preserved. Yu Sufu always remembered its appearance. Judging from his face, it should be a gentle and beautiful woman. Even if she was dead, her quiet appearance should be better than any woman he had seen.

After all, a dead person was found at home, which was unexplainable. Kutqi Village was remote and deserted, and was completely far away from the emperor, so my grandfather found a few wooden boards and secretly ordered a simple coffin.

He ran to the desert at night, packed the body and back of his body into the coffin, and buried it in the depths of the desert. Yu Sufu only remembered that the location was in the east of the largest poplar tree at the end of the village.

More than 20 years later, when Yu Sufu took Wen Tingxu to find the poplar tree, the oasis where it originally was had become a desert, curled up alone in the quicksand, withering half of its branches and leaves.

Yu Sufu later told Lao Wen that he said that the poplar tree had completely died the second year after Wen Tingxu removed his mother's body.

"The poplar forests are all in patches, but the old tree lives alone in the desert, in fact, just to protect a ray of my aunt's soul." He said on the phone.

...

Wen Tingxu repeated Yu Sufu's words, and his face was filled with tears.

"I am a sinner. My mother had a shabby tomb, but I moved her out and relocated it to the ruins of Zihe City. She sat under the abandoned wall for two years...

"But there is nothing to do. She and her father are guilty of being scolded by thousands of people on their backs. Even if they are in the ground, they will not be able to remain peaceful. They are both strong people, honest and noble, and morally clean. If they die like this, they will never be able to accept it even if they are in the dark."

"Oh, the dead are gone, and the living are disturbed by them. Rather than saying that they are unwilling to give up and uneasy, it is better to say that you will never be able to accept these things. When you find your mother's body, why not call the police directly? If you call the police, her suspicion between her and your father can be relieved a lot, right?"

"Do you think I can still trust the police?" Wen Tingxu lowered his head and fiddled with the leftover meat in the plate with a fork, "And with just one notebook, we cannot convict the group of villains who are forgetful of their wealth. Even if we retrieve the case and re-trial the lawsuit, it will take a long time to wait for the first and second instances.

"What's more, officials protect each other. God knows what the judicial officers who have convicted my parents will think. Are they afraid of losing their black hats and thus suppressing this old case.

"And I don't know the true face of those migrant workers. So, I must take action quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and I must beat them to death so that they will not have the chance to turn over..."

"You did it-but why did you have to bring me and Shen Yu?"

"Because you two are professionals, both on the side of the police and not entirely belong to the police, you are the most powerful witnesses, and what you two say is the most authoritative.

"Actually, you have seen with your own eyes that human nature is vulnerable to the face of huge benefits - how about it, old classmate, are you satisfied now? If I have any sins, I will arrest me."

"No, not satisfied at all." I said firmly.
