"I have lived here. There is such a girl who has lived here for a long time. Who are you?" The boss looked at Fang Zhiqiang and asked. He was deeply impressed by Li Xiaoxiao. The people who come here to stay in the guest house are either doing business in this county or passing by for tourism. It is rare for a girl like Li Xiaoxiao who comes at the end of the year to stay here for so many days. You know, Li Xiaoxiao has been The Chinese New Year was spent at his place. He and Li Xiaoxiao often chatted. The most important thing is that it is rare to see such a beautiful and fashionable girl here. Therefore, the boss still has a very good impression of Li Xiaoxiao. Profound.

"I am... I am his cousin. I came to see her specially. I don’t know if she told you or not. She was very dissatisfied with the marriage arranged for her by her family, so she decided to A person ran away and ran away from home. It has been a few months. My family has been going crazy. We can’t find her. She has no contact with her family at all. I have no choice but to come here to find her in person. I hope Take her back, it’s too dangerous for a girl to be outside. Please help me, boss, and provide me with some information about her." Fang Zhiqiang said half-truthfully to the boss while handing him a cigarette.

"There's nothing I can do about it. She's gone and no longer lives here." The boss replied.

"Gone? When did you leave?" He knew that Li Xiaoxiao was gone.

“It’s been almost half a month since I left.”

“Then did she tell you where she was going?”

"No." The boss shook his head.

Fang Zhiqiang was very disappointed when he heard this, and asked his boss a lot about Li Xiaoxiao's time here, but there was no useful information.

Fang Zhiqiang was disappointed, very disappointed, said goodbye to his boss, drove again, and drove back to Hoh Xil.

Li Xiaoxiao told him that she hoped to stay in Hoh Xil until spring. When the ice and snow in Hoh Xil melted, she would stay in Hoh Xil for a while. Since Fang Zhiqiang could not find anything about it here, For news about Li Xiaoxiao, we can only drive to Hoh Xil to try our luck.

Fang Zhiqiang drove towards Hoh Xil. He didn’t know how long he had been driving continuously. It was very hard to drive in such a harsh environment, but he had to In a hurry, he must find Li Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, because this situation with no news about Li Xiaoxiao made him a little scared. In addition, he was also afraid that he would miss Li Xiaoxiao if he was one day late.

The so-called Hoh Xil actually refers to the Hoh Xil Prairie and the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, where the rarest animal, the Tibetan antelope, is found. Fang Zhiqiang knew very little about this place. If Li Xiaoxiao hadn't mentioned this place, he would haveMaybe I will never visit this place in my life, or even think about it.

Fang Zhiqiang drove the car inside Hoh Xil. There was only one road through Hoh Xil, an unhardened adobe road that passed through the endless wilderness. At the end are mountains. At this time, the high mountains were covered with ice and snow, and the wilderness was also covered with a thin layer of white snow. Seeing this situation, Fang Zhiqiang was both happy and worried. The happy thing is that although Hoh Xil is very big, there is only one road. If Li Xiaoxiao drives here, he can only drive on this road, and it is too empty here. You can see all the way to the end at a glance. If there is any car parked nearby, you can see it at a glance even if it is several highways away. As long as Li Xiaoxiao is here, you will definitely see it and find it. What's worrying is that spring has obviously not started here yet, the grass is not green, and the snow has not completely melted. In this case, will Li Xiaoxiao be here? Fang Zhiqiang thinks the possibility is very low.

But as long as there is a slight possibility, he will look for it. Fang Zhiqiang drove along this road, passing through the entire Hoh Xil Reserve. He drove not fast and was always observing the situation on both sides. Once he finds a suspicious vehicle, he will get out of the car and check to see if it is Li Xiaoxiao. He will also ask if he has seen a car with a Shanghai license plate, or if he has seen a single girl. Because of this, the speed is even slower. It took him two full days to drive the car out of Hoh Xil. That night he parked the car on the grassland and slept in the car all night. To be honest, it was very cold, even in the car, because you It is impossible to start the car and turn on the air conditioner all night so that you can sleep. Fortunately, some coats and a quilt were prepared in Xining, and Fang Zhiqiang slept here wrapped in so many clothes.

Two days later, he still couldn’t find any trace of Li Xiaoxiao here. Fang Zhiqiang was a little desperate. He originally thought that he would not find Li Xiaoxiao when he came here, but he could always find some clues about Li Xiaoxiao. But after arriving, he realized that his thinking was too naive.

But Fang Zhiqiang must find Li Xiaoxiao. This is his promise to Li Xiaoxiao's father, and at the same time, it is also a responsibility he considers himself.

Exhausted physically and mentally, Fang Zhiqiang drove from Hoh Xil to Qumalai again, still walking very slowly. He hoped to meet Li Xiaoxiao again. After spending more than a day, he drove the car to Qumalai County again, but there was no trace of Li Xiaoxiao. Fang Zhiqiang drove the car to the boss's guest house again in a very decadent manner.

"What? Still not found?" The boss asked when he saw Fang Zhiqiang coming over again.

Fang Zhiqiang shook his head, took out a cigarette and handed it to the boss, and said: "No, I have been in Hoh Xil for three or four days, but I still haven't found her. I can be sure that she is not in Hoh Xil. ."

"You... this may be really hard to find. It's not like the mainland. It's really difficult to find someone here."

"Yes, not yet. Think about it, boss, is there anything to eat now? If so, get me something to eat, and get another room, I want to have a good sleep, I really can’t do it anymore," Fang Zhiqiang said.

This guest house is no different from others. The first floor is for dining, and the second and third floors are for accommodation. It is integrated. Compared with other stores that are all opened by Tibetans, this store provides food and taste from the mainland, so the business is not bad. Most outsiders will choose his store when they come here.

"Okay." The boss nodded and started to make arrangements.

Fang Zhiqiang had a full meal, and then went to sleep on the second floor. The conditions here were pretty good. Although the room still had a coal stove, it was much more modern, with There are crisp white sheets and a big bed, and there is a big TV in the room, which is already very good here. Fang Zhiqiang lay directly on the bed and fell asleep soon. He was really tired. He had eaten bread and biscuits for many days and slept in the car for several days. His physical strength had reached its limit.
