There is no water in the desert, it's like a living person has been drained of blood. Everyone is helpless and just sit there.
Suddenly I heard An Liman shouting: Hu Da's envoy. I saw a white shadow appearing on the sandy slope not far from us. I thought it was because I was thirsty and hungry, and my eyes were blurred, so I quickly rubbed my eyes carefully.
Go and see.
It turned out to be the white camel we had seen before arriving at Xiye City. It was walking leisurely on the sand dunes, slowly heading towards the west.
Old man An Liman was so excited that he couldn't speak any more. The white camel appeared in the cursed black desert, which meant that the ancient curse had disappeared. Hu Da had taken back this desert. Following Hu Da's envoy, we would definitely be able to
Find water.
I don’t know if what he said is true or not. Last time he said that travelers entering the desert will have a safe journey when they see a white camel. Now he says that the curse in the desert has disappeared. But at this time, I would rather believe it than not.
Believe it or not, you might actually be able to find water by following the white camel.
Immediately, they quickly formed a group of camels and followed the white camel. The tall white camel walked slowly and leisurely under the scorching sun. After walking straight for three or four hours, they turned around a long sand ridge, and sure enough they appeared.
Found a tiny puddle.
There are some weeds growing around the puddles. The water is not very clear and may contain a small amount of minerals. Animals can drink it directly, but people cannot drink it directly.
The camels couldn't wait to drink water and found some disinfectant tablets. They first put the water into a filter and filtered it, then added the disinfectant tablets, and then distributed it to everyone.
This puddle may be a tributary of the Ziduan River. Due to the movement of the desert at night, part of the river water that is closer to the ground seeps out.
An Liman said that this was the best proof that the curse had disappeared. In the past, there was no water exposed on the surface of this desert at all. This puddle was definitely Hu Da's miracle.
I made a fire by the puddle and baked some naan. I didn't tell them that when I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, my back seemed to be held by a ghost.
The fragrant konjac was so tormented that I couldn’t tell the truth from the false. Not to mention the last incident, including the entire experience in the ancient city of Jingjue and the ghost cave, there is no clear boundary between reality and fiction.
When the fat man and I talked about our encounter in the Zagrama Mountains, it was like a breathless nightmare. The fat man said: This dog-tailed flower is so damn powerful, maybe we have never entered the Jingjue at all.
In the ancient city, all this is an illusion created by the ghost flower.
He said without saying much: No, now that we are out of danger, if we look back and think about it carefully, the characteristics of the corpse-scented konjac illusion are still very obvious. It can only use the memories that already exist in our minds, but it cannot
It can create things that we have never seen before, the queen's coffin, the ghost cave, the prophet's tomb, prophecies, these are real, we have seen the black snake before, the prophetic stone paintings that lure us to kill each other,
What is on the first layer of stone boxes is real. Because we have seen the prophecies on the first layer, the corpse-scented konjac can create illusions on the second layer of stone boxes.
I said to them: Real heroes think alike. I think so too, but I’m not sure, so I never said it out loud. Should we discuss how to get out of the desert now?
He said: Now we have to trouble Grandpa Anliman. He is a living map in the desert. We might as well listen to his opinion first.
When An Liman saw the boss talking, he drew a few strokes on the sand with his hand. This area is our approximate location now. Going south is the ruins of Niya. It is very far away and it is all desert. We have added enough water.
We may not be able to walk to Niya. To the east is Lop Nur, in the middle is the desert and on the other side is the boundless Gobi Desert. To the north is the direction we came from, which is the direction of Xiye City, but we go deep into the hinterland of the desert and have to walk back.
It's not easy either.
Now it seems that walking in all three directions is difficult. The only one left is the Tarim River, which is the largest inland river in the desert. From our current location, we can walk quickly.
If you do, it will take about ten days to reach the confluence of the Tarim River, Yarkand River and Tian River. Once you get there, it will be easy. You can replenish fresh water and continue walking west for another six or seven days. You will not be far from Aksu.
There are troops and oil fields, and you can ask for their help.
We have replenished the water we were most lacking now, which can last for almost ten days, and we still have some food. In the desert, water is more important than food. If there is really nothing to eat, we can still eat camels.
It took a full day to filter and store the water in the sand nest bit by bit, and then set off as planned. Along the way, there were inevitably hungry meals, thirsty drinks, wind and sun, and a night walk at dawn. Finally, on the twelfth day,
On the third day, we reached the Tarim River, and then continued westward. On the third day, we met oil field workers who were going into the desert to hunt yellow sheep. At that time, Professor Chen only had one breath left.
The feeling of escaping from death step by step in the depths of the desert cannot be easily understood by people living in a normal environment. Since then, I have developed a habit of drinking water at home, no matter how big the cup is.
He drank until every drop was left.
Later, after I returned to Beijing, I didn't see her for a while. Maybe she was busy finding a doctor to treat Professor Chen, or maybe she was taking care of the funerals of the victims. This time, many people died in the archaeological team. The relevant departments
Of course it needs to be investigated. I was afraid that someone would find out that I was a gold captain, so I tried my best to avoid the important and ignore the light. What I said was not entirely true. Going into the desert for archeology has a high risk factor, but four people died in one fell swoop.
, one teacher, three students, and one professor went crazy, which was considered a major event at the time.
Without further ado, let me say that one day the fat man found two sweet girls to go dancing and asked me to go with them. I had nightmares all night long a few days ago and my head hurt, so I didn’t go with them and lay alone in bed.
, suddenly there was a knock on the door, I answered and got up from the bed, cursing in my mind, "Grandma, someone else is probably coming to investigate the situation."
I opened the door and saw that she was someone I hadn't seen for many days. I quickly invited her into the house and asked her how she found the address. She said it was the address given by Da Jinya.
I wondered: Do you know Da Jinya?
He said: Even if they are acquaintances, they are not very familiar. My father used to like collecting antiques and did some business with him. Professor Chen is also an acquaintance with him. I came to you today to give you and the fat man’s money. In two days,
I am going to take Professor Chen abroad for medical treatment tomorrow. During this period, I have to investigate some things. We should not see each other again for the time being.
I had no hope at first, but now I was really surprised when I heard that she wanted to give money. On the surface, I had to pretend to be polite: Is Mr. Chen getting better now?
It's so inappropriate to withdraw money. We can't help you. It's just causing trouble for you. You Americans are not rich either. Really, are you giving cash?
Put the money on the table: The money has to be paid. It has been agreed in advance, but I hope you can promise me one thing.
I was thinking badly, this girl was probably going to take revenge on me, maybe she would always pick out my old background. I was thinking about countermeasures, and said casually: What can you ask me for? It seems that rich people also have troubles, so I don’t think so.
You want me to help you spend money, right?
He said: You and I are the elders in our family, we can be considered as peers. When my grandpa retired from the gold basin and stopped doing back-fighting for a living, it was because the business of touching the gold captain was extremely harmful to one's moral character.
Unexpectedly, I hope you will stop from now on and stop doing back-and-forth things. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can come to the United States. I will arrange it for you.
When I heard this, I felt unhappy. The American girl wanted me to join her and hang out with her in the future so that I could be caught. Old Hu was also a company commander. How could I be successful under someone else's care? What's more?
If you are begging for a woman, then you will have to obey her everywhere in the future. What’s the point of being like that? So I interrupted her: Good intentions, I understand, but you only know one and not the other, you are touching gold.
This profession is not very good, but it teaches us that everything has its two sides. Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things. This is called dialectical materialism. Now that you know, I am doing the opposite.
, I will not hide some things from you. I have principles and a stand. I will never touch the ancient tombs that have been protected or discovered. There are many large tombs and ruins in the deep mountains and old forests that no one has discovered.
There are countless treasures buried inside. These things can only be found by those who understand the secrets of Feng Shui. If these buckets are not poured out, they may always sleep underground and never have a chance to see the light of day again. In addition, the natural environment
The changes and erosion have also posed a great threat to those undiscovered ancient tombs. I see it in my eyes and feel pain in my heart.
Seeing that I was plausibly speaking, he said helplessly: Okay, I tried to persuade you to turn back and give up. I didn't expect that you are quite reasonable. You are so righteous when you fight back. I'm afraid there will never be another person in the world who can quibble like you. Since you are so reasonable
Integrity, I really can't help but admire you. Even if I didn't say what I just said, you must be unwilling to take this money.
I quickly put my hand on the paper bag containing the money: "Wait a minute, this money is regarded as being lent to me by you, and the interest will be calculated according to the interest rate of the People's Bank of China."
Professor Chen’s bottomless ghost cave and the mystery of her life experience, as well as the whereabouts of the ancestors’ tribe, will continue to unfold the book alliance in a gorgeous way in the Yunnan chapter.
