In the past few days, Mei Qian got along with the film crew, and he could tell something was wrong.
But after all, the other parties were from ethnic minorities, so he only thought that the slight discomfort was due to the difficulty of communication in language and differences in living habits.
Because the danger intuition did not respond, he subconsciously believed that there was no risk.
In fact, because he lived in a peaceful era, the few triggers he had since receiving the dangerous intuition were not enough for him to understand his ability.
But Ning Chi's analysis made more sense to him the more he listened to it.
I pulled out my cell phone, just like yesterday, there was no signal at all.
At this time, You Xiude led the driver back to the car. He saw that the two people in the back seat were looking down at their mobile phones and smiled: "There is no signal here. Whoever Teacher Mei wants to contact can only wait until we arrive at the destination."
As he spoke, he lit up his phone with an English interface.
Sure enough, the top was also empty.
"Since your film crew is shooting in the wild, you don't carry satellite phones?" Ning Chi interrupted, then frowned: "I remember that during the few days we set off, although the communication was not too strong, there was still some signal."
"My assistant left the satellite phone in the hotel." You Xiude looked at Ning Chi and explained with a smile on his face: "When we set out, we chose the stargazing spots we had decided on before. In fact, we took a lot of detours.
We did not return along the original route, we need to pass through no man's land, so naturally there is no signal."
Ning Chi wanted to ask again, but Mei Qian next to him stopped him and said, "Okay, you can call home when you get there, don't worry." He was afraid of being too aggressive and exposing his flaws. Anyway, was it really what Ning Chi had speculated?
That way, it will become clear sooner or later.
Ning Chi was really excited. He didn't bother with such a problem anymore. He leaned back on the chair again, plugged in the power bank, and silently played a stand-alone game.
Mei Qian cast his gaze out the car window and carefully observed the surrounding scenery.
The convoy didn't seem to be driving on the road. Sometimes the vehicle in front couldn't pass and had to take a detour. Even with the shock absorption of the off-road vehicle, people sitting in it still bumped violently.
Ning Chi shook his head after playing for a while, put his phone back in his pocket, and looked out the window like Mei Qian.
There was no dynamic music in the car, and it immediately became quiet. Only the intercom could hear the drivers' conversations from time to time. Unfortunately, they were all in incomprehensible languages. I don't know if they were discussing in private how to concoct a piece of meat like themselves.
.
Looking at the direction of the sun, the convoy was driving west. What caught our eyes was not the desolate Gobi we saw yesterday, but the scattered mountains. However, this place seemed to have very little rainfall. The mountains were full of rocks and gravel, with sparse vegetation and common vegetation.
They are just some low shrubs.
"Through the barren river valley, we arrived at a flat-topped mountain in the evening. It was not tall and straight, but it blocked the wind and rain for this small basin. There were no villages with smoke lingering, and wild beasts did not want to live here. The bushes would
The ruins of the walls were swallowed up, and only the flat stairs told future generations that there were relics of civilization here.
It was easy to find the ancient statue. It was dry and broken, and seemed to be crying silently. The glorious Buddhist kingdom was like a huge mountain that collapsed into gravel. It was eroded by the years and lost all news. It did not remain in people's memory, only
Evidence of existence can be found in Buddhist scriptures thousands of miles away..."
After an unknown amount of time, You Xiude, who was sitting in front, also looked out the window and recited this passage. It was like singing a poem, with cadences and full of emotion.
"Are you reading poetry? It's very nice." Mei Qian looked away and praised.
You Xiude visibly paused, then suddenly turned his head and stared at Mei Qian with shocked eyes: "This is a sentence in your novel describing the Xiangfeng Buddhist Kingdom..."
Mei Qian: "..."
-------------------
As the original author, Mei Qian felt very sad to be despised by readers.
But compared with the crisis we face, this seems insignificant.
As the motorcade marched into the afternoon, he finally saw the fireworks of civilization, and flat-roofed buildings that seemed to have the same style as those in the Western Regions. But the barefoot children who ran home as soon as they saw the motorcade, and the frightened eyes hiding behind the door, were all missing.
If you don't tell Mei Qian, this is really not the Xia Kingdom anymore.
At least he could not imagine that any other village in Xia would be so poor, with no roads and no electricity.
Mei Qian was on guard in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She glanced at her phone and continued chatting with You Xiude. Occasionally, Ning Chi, a loyal reader, would also add a few words.
Their topic mainly revolved around the book "Memoirs of a Grave Robber".
In fact, this book is the first one Mei Qian wrote after time travel. Many things were blurred in his mind, but while chatting, he really remembered a lot of the content.
"Teacher Mei, the news that you were censored has spread a lot. It is said that many ancient tombs have been exposed as a result. According to the records in your novel, the underground monuments of Xiangfeng Buddhist Kingdom really contain amazing treasures and can extend human life.
Crystal apple?" You Xiude asked.
"Haha, I'm just a book writer. I've been proven innocent, otherwise I wouldn't have been released, right?" Mei Qian smiled bitterly at first, then suddenly his expression changed, and he changed his tone: "I really don't know what ruins this world has.
There are no such magical things as crystal apples in the world. However, the Xiangfeng Buddhist Kingdom did exist. In fact, it was the Jian Tuoluo Kingdom in "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", which means "Xiangfeng" when translated."
The general history of this parallel time and space is completely consistent with that of the earth, and there are also dynasties such as the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties, so Mei Qian has no worries when talking about the information in his mind.
Then he shared what he knew about the history of Xiangfeng Buddhist Kingdom to several people in the car.
By the time his mouth was dry from talking, it was already getting dark, and the convoy stopped at the top of a low mountain and set up camp in the open air.
"Be smart at night..." Taking advantage of the convenience of getting out of the car, Mei Qian said this in a very low voice when passing by Ning Chi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ning Chi's expression changed, and then he followed him as if nothing had happened.
Although I don't know why You Xiude and his gang didn't control themselves since they brought him here, and instead chose to continue coaxing him, this undoubtedly gave him a chance to escape.
Regardless of whether you are sitting in a car or driving, you will be tired after a whole day.
Everyone was not in the mood to chat and entertain tonight. They had a hasty dinner and then went into the tent to rest. Soon they started snoring loudly.
Mei Qian, You Xiude and Ani, squeezed into a tent. In the middle of the night, Mei Qian quietly turned on his cell phone. With the faint light, he reached out and pressed the back of You Xiude's neck.
Then it was Arnie's turn.
Maybe it was because they slept so deeply that the two of them were easily knocked unconscious by him.
Patting Ning Chi, this kid didn't sleep either and sat up immediately.
Mei Qian made a silence gesture and began to rummage through Ani's body. He was the one driving the car in the afternoon, and sure enough, he found the car key in his trouser pocket.
Then the two of them tiptoed to the edge of the tent, opened a corner, and carefully observed what was going on outside.
At night, the vehicles in the convoy formed a circle, there were bonfires everywhere, and there were people watching at all times.
In fact, this has been the case in the past few days. Mei Qian and Ning Chi didn't feel strange at first. They heard that the wolves in the Western Region were making a lot of noise, so it was normal to light more bonfires and have someone patrolling the night.
But if you look at it with a different attitude, it will give people a completely different feeling.
Each night watchman carries a travel bag, and Mei Qian strongly suspects that there are weapons inside, probably to scare wild animals and prevent the meat tickets from escaping.
Mei Qian was not good at infiltrating or assassinating, so he looked at Ning Chi who was standing aside.
In his mind, Ning Chi was a very special person, and all the coincidences in the detention center were just that.
It's just that he can tell the difference between weapons by his ears. He has either been trained or has been a soldier.
It was more likely that he was an undercover agent assigned to him. At this time, he desperately needed the other party's advice.
Unexpectedly, the light of the mobile phone shone on Ning Chi's face, and the guy's face became tense.
Mei Qian suddenly had doubts about his own inference. Wasn't the nervous and fearful look he had just pretended because he heard the sound of fighting?
Is this guy really an undercover agent? His psychological quality is too poor...
