Chapter Thirty-Three Ghost City of the Western Regions 1
Deng Long and the others finally managed to escape from death, and escaped from the tiger's mouth of the desert storm. The four of them crawled out of the car window in embarrassment. Most of the car had sunk into the yellow sand, and it was probably scrapped.
Sitting under the city wall, the four of them did not have time to look at the dilapidated ancient city. The physical and mental fatigue had already made Deng Long and the four exhausted. They leaned against the city wall, holding cigarettes feebly.
"Grandma, I'm too tired. I can't do it anymore. I need to take a nap!" Ma Tiexin took two puffs of cigarette, his black hair soaked with sweat, and the faces of the four of them were strangely pale.
Deng Long only felt sore and achy all over his body. He moved his muscles a little and took two puffs of cigarettes to refresh himself. He was about to remind a few people to prepare to enter this strange city, but found that Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin were already asleep under the city wall with cigarettes in their mouths.
The cigarette is burning, and the cigarette is almost burning to the corners of my mouth.
Deng Long smiled bitterly. He had just walked on the edge of death. The four of them were extremely nervous. At this moment, they had escaped from death. Even tough men like Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai could no longer hold on. They were heavy and heavy.
Go to sleep
Deng Long gave Duan and Ma two cigarettes, and they took the cigarettes out of their mouths and leaned against the city wall. They were also exhausted and dizzy. A wave of exhaustion flooded into their brains like a tide. Deng Long could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the yellow sand.
go
He didn't know how long he slept. Deng Long just felt a huge headache in his brain. He knew it was due to hunger. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sky was filled with stars. The night sky was filled with stars. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already past midnight.
Li Kangkai and the other three were still sleeping soundly. Deng Long flexed his sore limbs and climbed into the car to look for the supplies he and the others had left behind. The car was dark, and Deng Long spent a long time touching the items that were originally placed in the back seat.
The light suitcase had already disappeared. After groping for a while, Deng Long cursed secretly and retreated.
The three of them, Li Kangkai, woke up almost at the same time. As soon as they woke up, they held their heads and cried out that it hurt. It turned out that the four of them had slept for three days. Their bodies, which were originally exhausted, could no longer hold up due to hunger and lack of water.
"His grandma's head looks like it's being pulled by a saw. It hurts like hell." Li Kangkai hammered his head twice and muttered.
Ma Tiexin, however, didn't even have the strength to speak. He sat on the ground with his eyes staring blankly. Duan Yuxuan was about the same.
When Deng Long climbed out of the car window, the three of them were startled, "Xiaolong, you want to scare people to death in the middle of the night!" Li Kangkai struggled to stand up and said feebly.
"I went to look for the dry food we brought, but unfortunately, they are all gone." Deng Long spread his hands and said helplessly.
"No, I put it on the window eaves of the car at the back yesterday. There is no way I could have lost it. I even looked at it before getting off the car," Duan Yuxuan said weakly.
Deng Long shook his head helplessly, walked to the car, and brushed off the yellow sand on the trunk with difficulty. He took out two flashlights from the essential equipment Duan Yuxuan brought in the trunk, and turned them off.

"So hungry!" Ma Tiexin muttered
Deng Long turned on the flashlight, lit a cigarette, and stuffed it into Ma Tiexin's mouth. Ma Tiexin took two greedy puffs and finally recovered a little. He stood up against the city wall, shrugged his nose, and said in surprise: "It smells so good!"
At this time, even Duan Yuxuan immediately struggled to get up, and they all sniffed, "Well, it smells really good, like the smell of fried scallion pancakes. Brother! Let's go! Go to the city to get some food."
Deng Long and the others struggled to climb over the city wall. The city was already brightly lit, and every household was lit with white candles. The dilapidated city looked so warm at the moment. There were two paper lanterns hanging on a large tower in the distance.
As soon as Deng Long stepped into this city, he immediately felt a chill in his heart, and a sense of crisis quickly came to his heart. Deng Long's sixth sense has always been very strong, especially his foresight of crises, which is surprisingly accurate.
"Brothers! This city is very weird, let's take care of it," Deng Long reminded.
"Xiaolong, I just want to eat pancakes now! Let's go to that store and buy some pancakes to satisfy our hunger first," Ma Tiexin said
Deng Long frowned. Before he fell asleep, he still remembered that this was clearly an empty city. It was very dilapidated. Why did it change its appearance late at night? It was midnight and it was still pancakes. This was too weird.
Thinking of this, Deng Long reached out and pulled Ma Tiexin, who had walked to the door of the candle-lit room, and said solemnly: "Old Ma, there is something strange in this city, don't be careless."
At this moment, Ma Tiexin was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. How could he care so much? He shook off Deng Long's hand and said: "Xiaolong, I think you are too worried. This is how ethnic minorities in the northwest are. I'll go in."
Just buy a few pancakes, it’ll be fine!”
Li Kangkai also said: "Yes, Xiaolong, you are too worried. If the brothers don't get something in, they will starve to death before they get to Dunhuang!" After saying that, he and Ma Tiexin strode open the door and walked in.
Although Duan Yuxuan was also hungry and dizzy, due to his inexplicable trust in Deng Long, Duan Yuxuan swallowed his saliva, forcibly resisted the urge to go in, and sat on the steps in front of the door with Deng Long, who was sighing.
Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai opened the door and went in. There were many white candles in the room, which was very bright. They were surprised to find that pancakes were being baked in a baking pan on a stove in the room, and the smell was fragrant.
Ma Tiexin and the two were about to reach out to grab the greasy pancakes on the grill pan, but suddenly realized that the owner of the house had not been notified, so they stopped.
"Fang family, Fang family! Is the Fang family here?" Li Kangkai shouted several times. In addition to the muffled sound of frying pans on the fire, there was only the sound of candles popping in the room. The owner of the house was not there at all.
"Forget it, Lao Ma, maybe the owner of this house is out temporarily for something, so let's take care of the pancakes first!" Ma Tiexin grabbed a pancake and ate it in a big bite, finishing it in a few bites.
Although Li Kangkai had doubts, he was so hungry that he didn't care so much. He and Ma Tiexin started eating. After a while, all the seven or eight pancakes on the baking pan were eaten. The two of them wiped the greasy corners of their mouths.
, walked out happily
Deng Long frowned and sat on the steps. When the two came out and saw Deng Long looking unhappy, they smiled and said: "Xiaolong, these pancakes taste really good! It would be a pity if you don't eat them."
"Brother Ma, is this house empty?" Deng Long stood up and asked coldly
Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai looked at each other in silence.
Deng Long suddenly walked to the door next door, kicked it open, and angrily walked up to Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai, stamped his feet and cursed: "Stupid! Stupid! These two brothers are so stupid!"
Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai looked shocked. The brothers had lived and died together along the way. Deng Long had never been so angry, let alone so rude.
Ma Tiexin felt unhappy at the moment. He had never been so insulted in his life. He snorted and was about to get angry. Duan Yuxuan hurriedly grabbed Ma Tiexin, but Li Kangkai stood aside with a livid face and said nothing.
"This is a ghost town. This place was destroyed thousands of years ago. You two are getting angry!" Deng Long said angrily.
Ma Tiexin and Li Kangkai were shocked. They did not expect that they would encounter the legendary ghost town in the Western Regions...
