After staying in the oasis for a few days, Li Kangkai and Ma Tiexin finally recovered a lot. This was due to their strong physiques. If it were ordinary people, they would not be able to recover in ten days and a half. The four of them faced a new problem.
That is exactly where their current location is. You must not walk around casually in the desert. If you are not careful, you will get lost in the desert.
The compass and map have long been lost, and they can't tell where they are at all. They have almost run out of dry food. How to get out has become the biggest problem for them.
"Xiaolong, is there no other way? We can't just sit back and wait to die!" Ma Tiexin suggested that the four of them disperse and set off signal fireworks for whoever walks out of the desert first. However, this suggestion was rejected by three people at the same time. There are many dangers in the desert.
, spreading out is not a good idea
Deng Long took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one, thought for a while and said: "The compass has been lost. Although the compass shows that we are in the direction of Jiawu, which is to the north, we must be cautious and be sure before setting off."
Since these dangerous situations, Deng Long has now become extra cautious and thinks twice before doing anything.
Duan Yuxuan looked at the compass on the ground, broke off a branch from the side, made a few gestures on the sand with his hand, closed his eyes, and the branch moved slowly on the yellow sand, with a very serious expression.
"Xiaolong, what is this kid doing again?" Ma Tiexin couldn't help but ask when he saw Duan Yuxuan behaving strangely.
Deng Long stretched out his hand and said: "Don't disturb him!"
Not long after, Duan Yuxuan opened his eyes, sweating profusely, looking at the messy lines he had drawn on the yellow sand, mumbling something carefully, sometimes frowning, sometimes expressing joy.
"Yes, yes, I know where our position is." Duan Yuxuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said happily
"Xiao Duan, tell me!" Li Kangkai said quickly
"Based on my memory of driving that day, the driving route from Zuning City to the ghost town we encountered was roughly like this. Our current location should be the Crescent Moon Spring Oasis 80 kilometers away from Yangguan Town." Duan Yuxuan
road
"This, can you believe this? Does it look like a ghost drawing a talisman?" Looking at the messy road map Duan Yuxuan drew on the sand, Ma Tiexin couldn't help but question
"It shouldn't be wrong. I don't have any other skills, but I have one specialty, which is my photographic memory. I can remember everything I have done clearly. Moreover, I have considered the speed of the car and various factors.
If you go in, you can’t go wrong." Duan Yuxuan raised his head and said proudly
"I think Brother Duan's inference is reasonable. When the desert storm came, our speed was not very fast, and we were driving against the wind. Although we spent several hours in the desert, I think it is similar to Brother Duan's inference. It should be more than eighty miles.
"Li Kangkai thought for a while and said
"Well, Crescent Moon Spring is eighty miles north of Yangguan Town. Let's keep walking south now. It will take about five hours to reach Yangguan Town." Deng Long took the compass and looked at the stars that had begun to appear.
Walking in the desert during the day, it is definitely difficult to withstand the scorching heat, especially for the four of them who have never lived in the desert. The four of them could only choose to set off at night when it was a little cooler, and picked some valuables from the car.
As for the two bags of tomb robbing equipment that Duan Yuxuan brought, he only chose some commonly used ones. As for the heavy objects such as small steel cannons for mountaineering, they could only be left in the car, waiting to be buried by the yellow sand.
With the compass and the Big Dipper confirmed, the four of them finally arrived at Yangguan Town at dawn.
"Xiao Duan, you are very knowledgeable, tell us how the situation is in Yangguan Town?" Deng Long was walking in this ancient northwest town, looking at the red sun on the horizon, feeling very good, and said loudly
"Okay! This Yangguan Town is located 70 kilometers southwest of Dunhuang City. It is named because it has the second Yangguan Pass in the Western Region (the first is Yanmen Pass). This Yangguan Pass opened up Hexi Province for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was listed among the four counties.
, one of the "Two Passes", it has been a necessary pass on the Silk Road from Dunhuang in the west to the South Road of the Western Regions since ancient times. It is the gateway to the western border and the gateway to the western border. The poet Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty wrote, "The city of Weicheng is light and dusty in the morning rain, and the guesthouses are green."
"Liu Sexin advises you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west." This has made Yangguan famous throughout the ages. We are now in Yangguan Town." Duan Yuxuan raised his head and waved his hand heroically.
Yangguan Town has been very lively recently. Everyone from the elderly to the youngest knows that an underground treasure in Dunhuang has been made public. Many foreigners and some people who have retired for many years have entered Yangguan Town and are waiting.
opportunity
However, the people of Yangguan Town are not worried about the problem of treasures. People in this era can't live anymore. Whoever wants to rob them. Governor Zhang doesn't care about things. What can the common people do? It's better to take this opportunity to make a lot of money.
His stroke
The shops in Yangguan Town opened early. Smelling the aroma of steamed buns, steamed buns, goat milk and various breakfasts, the four of us were already hungry, and our appetites were greatly increased.
"Xiao Duan, tell me quickly what is the most authentic and delicious food in Yangguan Town?" Ma Tiexin asked
"It's your order! Four brothers, let's talk about the delicious specialties in our ancient city of Dunhuang as follows. First of all, we can't miss Yangguan wine. The grapes of Yangguan are famous all over the world. In the past, they made a special trip to pay tribute to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.
The specialty of Yangguan is the wine made from Yangguan grapes, which is even more unique. Secondly, the food here is mostly pasta, mainly including donkey meat yellow noodles, saozi noodles, pulp noodles, paoer oil cakes, stuffed skin, and mutton.
Noodle soup, I suggest the three eldest brothers to try this donkey meat yellow noodles. After all, we don’t have authentic donkey meat in Shanghai.” Duan Yuxuan spoke like a treasure, making the three of them salivate.
"Okay, I'll just listen to you kid!" Ma Tiexin laughed loudly and led the way into a small shop.
There were already a lot of people sitting in the store. Deng Long looked at it carefully. I am afraid that 90% of the people sitting here are treasure hunters. These people have fierce faces and shining eyes. They are not good people.
"Brother, please have four bowls of donkey meat yellow noodles, plus four bowls of mutton soup, and two pounds of Yangguan wine!" Ma Tiexin shouted to the busy waiter.
"Gentlemen, we'll be here soon!" the second brother shouted in response.
The waiter quickly brought the noodles. Ma Tiexin smashed his fist and said angrily: "Where's the wine?"
"Sir, the wine has been sold out. I asked that guy to buy it all. The shop only makes ten kilograms of grape wine every day, so it's gone!" the waiter said with a grimace.
"His grandma's, why don't you brew more!" Ma Tiexin shouted angrily, making the waiter tremble in fright.
"This is stipulated by the mayor, and there's nothing we can do about it!" said the waiter.
"Go and ask for a few kilograms, and I'll give you the money!" Ma Tiexin grabbed the waiter's chest and said angrily.
The waiter didn't dare to respond. He hurriedly ran to the table in the far corner and asked for permission.
No one in the entire shop cared about Ma Tiexin's fuss. They didn't even raise their heads. They all sipped soup and noodles in a sullen manner.
Deng Long and Li Kangkai nodded. These people are indeed not simple. Only those who are used to big scenes and blood can be so calm.
The man in the corner who asked for ten kilograms of wine was covered in gray robes. The big cloak on his head was blocked behind his head, and his appearance could not be seen clearly. However, judging from the figure of this man, he had a huge frame and a fine figure.
Thin, somewhat similar to Master Ku Long
The waiter said something in front of the man. The man was carrying a huge leather bag, turned around and walked slowly towards Deng Long and the others.
Almost at the same time, everyone in the store stopped eating and stared at Deng Long and the four of them with fierce looks. Deng Long smiled and the three of them just engrossed themselves in eating the spicy donkey meat yellow noodles.
Every time the man took a step, there was a dull sound under his feet, and there were ten footprints in every ten steps. Deng Long and the other two looked at the footprints on the ground, knowing that this man was a master of internal affairs. Every step he took left a mark on the bluestone floor.
I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world who leave footprints, but Deng Long can't do it either.
Duan Yuxuan's hands began to tremble. The man walked closer and closer, walked to Ma Tiexin's bench and sat down. He threw the bag on the table and made a hoarse voice: "Guys, you want me."
Wine?”
Ma Tiexin sucked the last yellow noodle into his mouth, smacked his lips and said, "I heard that Yangguan wine is famous all over the world, and several of my brothers have come all the way. Wouldn't it be a pity not to drink it?"
"Really? You can drink if you want, it depends on whether you have the ability!" the man said coldly.
"Ma wants to give it a try. There is nothing in this world that I, Ma, can't get!" Ma Tiexin was not afraid at all. He gently broke off the corner of the table with his fingers and was forcefully pulled off.
"Okay, Lao San Lao Wu, this brother seems to be a master of Wai Ga Earth Kung Fu, please let me know!" The man in the cloak turned his head and said something to the people at the other table.
"Brother Deng, it seems to be Lingnan dialect?" Duan Yuxuan reminded carefully.
Standing on the table opposite were two short and stocky guys, with bulging temples, eyes like bells, noses pointing upward, and wearing iron rings on their hands. They were breathing heavily, and the iron rings on their hands kept clanging.
"Iron Fist?" Deng Long smiled and said
"Uh-huh, get out of here!" The two big men lifted the table and roared angrily.
The waiter was startled and was about to run out the door. The man in the cloak flicked his wrist, and a series of white lights hit the waiter's legs. The waiter felt his legs go numb, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"This money is enough to compensate you for your losses. Close the door of the store obediently." The cloaked man said coldly. The second brother picked up the silver dollar that was hit on his ankle. Knowing that these people are not easy to mess with, how could he dare to run away?
When I go out to call someone, I can only install the wooden door honestly.
The people in the store knew that there was going to be a fight between these people, and most of them left. Except for the seven people on the side of the cloaked man, there was only one young man in white who was still quietly drinking mutton soup.
