Chapter 292: Full of Lies
"Hu Shulin."
Wang Bangchui shouted with his loud voice and full of energy.
An honest and simple old man rushed out of the room and said, "I'm coming, who is it?"
The old man looked at Tu Shan and the other person with a very kind attitude: "Are you two lost? Come in quickly, rest first and have a drink of water."
Tu Shan tilted her head and thought, he is easy to get along with and very generous, willing to give water casually. How could Wang Bangchui say that he is difficult to get along with?
Wang Bangchui was not easily deceived by the sugar-coated bullets and refused coldly.
"No, we want to ask you something."
"Oh, then tell me, tell me."
"Didn't the Third Desert Control Team come to your place for supplies a month ago?"
Hu Shulin nodded: "Yes, yes, they are the only ones who have come here recently."
"What's the name of their team leader?"
Hu Shulin thought for a moment and said, "His name is Tian Gen. He's a tall, thin man who doesn't talk much."
Wang Bangchui: "How many people are there in their team? Did they say where they were going?"
Hu Shulin thought for a moment and said, "The desertification control team usually consists of 180 people. If an accident occurs during the journey and someone dies, the body will be sent to the nearest supply station and the others will be notified to take it away.
When the third team arrived, no one was sacrificed. It should be the same number as before, about ninety-six. Oh, yes, it is ninety-six. The supplies are collected based on the number of people.
As for where to go, they seemed to say they were going north to the mangroves, but I’m not sure if that’s the case.”
Tu Shan...isn't this an easy question?
But Wang Bangchui raised his hand and slapped him: "You bastard, you even lied to your grandfather. Are you really that bold?"
Tu Shan???
Hu Shulin staggered after being slapped, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he grinned, showing his bloody teeth: "You have a really bad temper. I didn't lie."
“Bah,” Wang Bangchui went up and kicked him. “The third team appeared at Langwan Station half a month ago, going in the opposite direction from Yangsha Bay. It might not even take a month to go one way.
Moreover, the captain of the third team is Lu Shan, a short man, and Tian Gen is not a member of the desertification control team.
The number of team members is fixed at eighty, and if one dies, one will be replaced.
Can you really give out these little things at the supply station on a per-person basis? Can you afford it?
And your fucking mangroves are in the southwest, and there are quicksand groups there.
Are you trying to send me there to die?"
Tu Shan was shocked. Even the punctuation mark was fake?
No wonder Wang Bangchui said it was difficult to get along with him.
No, how could you manage to tell so many lies with such an honest appearance and positive and sincere attitude?
She really believed it, and for some reason, Tu Shan felt betrayed.
Hu Shulin was not embarrassed or afraid when he was exposed. He even complimented Wang Bangchui: "You are really knowledgeable. You know everything. Nothing can be hidden from you."
Really, every word he said was sincere. If the same words came out of someone else's mouth, it might become sarcasm, but not him.
Wang Bangchui sneered, unmoved by the praise: "Which desertification control team is Wu Shitou in?"
Hu Shulin replied with the same sincerity, without hesitation: "Team Four."
"How many people were there when their team arrived?"
"Eighty, not one more, not one less."
Wang Bangchui: "Where did they go?"
"Caotan, the oasis over there is desertifying too quickly, so they are responsible for maintaining it."
Every answer Hu Shulin gave was sincere and earnest without hesitation. Even with blood in his mouth, it did not affect his honesty.
It's rare for Tu Shan to admire someone so much. How did he do it?
Wang Bangchui's voice grew even colder. "Team Four sent back three bodies last month, but due to a shortage of manpower, they still haven't been able to replace them. Are there really eighty people here?"
Hu Shulin laughed: "Really? Then I might have remembered it wrongly. I haven't counted it either."
Wang Bangchui went up and kicked him again: "Team Four returned to Nansha Town five days ago and is currently resting."
Hu Shulin patted his head in frustration. "I'm getting old, I always get my memories mixed up. Wu Shitou was in the first team, but they really didn't lose any people. They even went to Caotan."
Wang Bangchui snorted coldly: "Which team is Ma Qingfeng in?"
"Two."
"How many of them are there, and where did they go?"
"I'm not sure how many people there were. I didn't count them, but they didn't say there were few. It seems they went to the Great Bay Valley."
Wang Bangchui glanced at him, asked no more questions, and told Tu Shan to leave.
Tu Shan followed Wang Bangchui with a question mark on her face.
"Ma Qingfeng's second team is indeed short of people. Head due north to Caotan."
Tu Shan did as she was told, and only after they had walked away did she ask Wang Bangchui, "How did you come to this conclusion when you were so old?"
Wang Bangchui was very proud: "So, without me, you can't get a single word out of it. You have to pick out the words of that bastard one by one, remove the true words from the false ones, and then put them together again."
How do I do this?
"Can't you put a knife to his neck and ask him?"
Wang Bangchui: "That bastard is not afraid of death. All his family members died in the desert. He stays in the desert as if he is guarding his relatives, living one day at a time.
Perhaps all his relatives died, and he stayed alone in the desert for too long, so there was something wrong with his brain and he liked to do things that were not humane.
Not to mention people like us who came to ask him questions, even the people from the desertification control team didn't tell him the truth.
It seems to be fun to trick people into thinking they are fooling around.
So the desertification control team usually ignores him."
Tu Shan? ?
"Why not replace him?"
Wang Bangchui said with a look of disdain, "Who is willing to do this place and this job?"
Hu Shulin tells a lot of lies, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with him. All you have to do is not talk to him and don't believe what he says."
Tu Shan understood that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, and there must be something useful about hateful people.
But she really couldn't find the truth in lies and couldn't understand the true meaning of it.
Wang Bangchui couldn't explain it clearly either. Anyway, this was the experience he had summed up from observing people throughout his life. It could only be understood, not expressed in words.
He could tell whether Hu Shulin was real or fake from his blinking, twisting his mouth, picking his hands, and even the heaviness of his breathing.
But this ability cannot be taught by words or actions.
"Anyway, just ask more questions, no matter if they are true or false. You can be true or false, and he can be true or false too. Then we can both analyze and nitpick the words based on our own abilities.
From his words, I concluded that the team your family was in went to Beicaotan.
The Caotan in the north is indeed an oasis, and where there is an oasis, there are many creatures. That area is especially infested with wolves, so it's very dangerous."
The wolf pack may not be scary to Tu Shan, but to ordinary people, it is definitely a big threat.
According to reports, the nephew and niece were taken away by wolves, perhaps in Caotan.
"Pull them away, pull them away quickly." Ma Qingfeng, who had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, was pinched by Tu Yi and pressed into the yellow sand. The hand on his neck was like steel and iron, and no matter how he struggled, he could not move at all.
Tu Yi, who was pressing him, had a protruding forehead and sunken cheeks. The scars that ran through both sides of his face had not healed even after a month and were still red, swollen, and bleeding.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with an abnormal red.
When enraged, he was as terrifying as a demon.
Ma Qingfeng was so frightened that he had to pee, and he struggled even more fiercely: "Let go, let go, Li Yi, don't try to kill yourself... If I die, none of you three will survive."
Tu Yi said hoarsely: "We're all going to die anyway, so it's no loss for us to have you buried with us."
Ma Qingfeng felt that Tu Yi really wanted to kill him, and he could no longer hold his urge to urinate, which came out in one gulp.
