Chapter 9 Sand Veins
The wind and sand gradually disappeared, and everyone got out. Looking at the heavy sand and soil accumulating on the tarpaulin, if it were not surrounded by camels and steel nails around the tarpaulin in the middle, I am afraid that we people would have been swept away by the wind and sand. I
I looked at Mr. Chen in the distance and found that they had just emerged from the sand. When I turned my head, Tang Ling happened to be looking in this direction. I didn't know who she was looking at, but I felt that Tang Ling was
Looking at him.
Lu Xun spoke: "Ah! Everyone is paying attention! Let's move on. Pay more attention to some sand pits. If you fall in, you won't be able to get out!"
I saw the guys pulling up the tarpaulin, folding and arranging it, and then moved forward. Lu Xun asked me next to him: "Do you know those people over there?"
Me: "We saw them when we first came to Urumqi. It seemed like you were the same. One wave of people were looking for the blood corpse tomb, and the other wave was watching from behind!"
"Grandma! No matter who he is, don't block my way of making money, or I won't let him look good!" After Lu Xun scolded him, he turned around and strode forward. Lu Xun's words were not only meant for Mr. Chen and his gang, but also probably for others.
To people like me.
Each of me was given a big backpack, and I didn’t know what was in it, so I looked through it as I walked. Fortunately, I knew what to bring to save myself in an emergency. I only saw what was in the bag.
It is equipped with an ultra-high durability lighting lamp with a lighting time of 50 hours. It is engraved with the logo of the USA head-mounted military lighting lamp. There is also a folding shovel, two burning rods, compressed biscuits and water, etc.
Some gadgets.
I took out a burning stick and showed it to the fat man. The fat man took it and took a look. He shook his head jealously and whispered to me: "Lu Xun is a bit cruel, but he is really willing to spend money on things! This
A burning stick costs at least a thousand yuan, and it will be gone after burning for an hour. Hey!"
I took the burning stick and put it in my backpack: "Fat man, let's run away if we find a chance. Don't you have jade? Don't put it in your crotch!"
"Damn it! I think you are in a hurry to leave because you miss your Xiao Qiao! Hahaha..." Everyone walked forward talking and laughing, followed by the dozen or so big men pulling the camels.
After walking for more than an hour, it was already close to noon. The desert was unusually dry and hot at noon. Lu Xun took out a GPS navigator and a drawing and looked at it with a magnifying glass on the sand.
"We are now in the heart of the Taklimakan desert. It is said that very few people who come here can come back alive. I don't think so. If you want to go back, please tell me in advance. Don't regret it later because you won't have the chance.
!" Lu Xun said.
Everyone knows what Lu Xun said. Now that everyone is here, they have to jump forward even if there is a sea of fire in front of them. Who dares to say that you can leave by yourself? I’m afraid you can leave. I won’t give you food and drink. If you go out of this desert, it will take at least five years.
When the sky is about 100 meters away, facing this endless desert is like a narrow escape.
A shout came from the camel team nearby, indicating that they would find the treasure despite the difficulties!
Going further, I saw wooden piles standing on the broad sand veins in the distance ahead. Lu Xun took out his binoculars and took a look. He asked everyone to continue moving forward and make sure to arrive before dark.
It is said that you can see wooden piles in the distance with the naked eye, which proves that it is not far away, but it is exactly the opposite. As the saying goes, looking up the mountain is tiring to death. Although the high mountains ahead are not far from us, but if we climb up this mountain range
, that is very difficult. Moreover, it seems very close, but in fact it is a sensory illusion.
I saw everyone climbing up step by step. Not far behind, Tang Ling and others were also following closely, but they always kept a certain distance.
I recalled what Mr. Chen said to him, raised my head and looked at my buddies in front of me. Then I shook my head, and secretly cursed Mr. Chen for having evil intentions and not being a good bird.
.........The beach at dusk is very beautiful. The texture of the yellow sand is like waves of the sea, and the microwaves add to the waves, making you seem to be rippling in it.
The hot temperature at noon suddenly turned cold. The climate of the desert changed so much that some big men pulling camels sneezed a few times. A few people finally arrived in front of the wooden piles. At this time, everyone stood
Looking around on the sand veins, you can see the endless desert, but you can't see the end. The middle-aged man pulling the camel next to him said: "It is said that everyone who comes here will be cursed! I hope the Lord can forgive me..."
Then he made Christian gestures and nodded his left and right shoulders and forehead.
It seemed that there were people of all kinds here, and they believed in all kinds of religions, and they all believed these far-fetched rumors. This made the fat man next to him giggle secretly.
During this trip, Hanzi and I talked for a few words, but I didn't mention the map. He wanted to wait until we got out of the desert before talking. After all, it would be better to be more harmonious in the desert.
At this time, the wind gradually became stronger. A voice like a woman's cry suddenly sounded around: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooob"
Everyone turned around and looked around. There was nothing nearby except hundreds of wooden piles. It was probably the sound made by the wind blowing over the wooden piles. The fat man looked carefully at the sculptures on the wooden piles.
I saw that the sculptures on the large wooden piles were in the shape of a human being. Although he was standing, his posture and expression were that of death, which looked very scary. Some of the sculptures had human faces with cracks and sunken eye sockets.
The camel team next to it unloaded the supplies. Then they tied wires to the surrounding wooden stakes to form a large round tent.
"Everyone, let's rest in this tarpaulin today. Let's start digging tomorrow morning at dawn!" Lu Xun shouted, and everyone began to prepare tools, food, drink, and everything in an orderly manner.
The people in the camel team were busy, and we were not idle. We were also the ones who could help us. We were free to eat and drink. After everyone finished setting up, it was already dark. I walked out of the tent, holding in my hand
Taking the unfinished lamb ribs, I walked to the edge of the mountain and looked down.
I saw a lighted tent under the mountains in the distance. I thought to myself: This is Tang Ling's group. Why don't they come up? Is it because they are afraid of Lu Xun and the others? It's no wonder that anyone looks at such a group of people and feels uncomfortable.
Afraid. I sat on the edge of the mountain munching mutton chops, looking at the bright tent below and thinking of Tang Ling.
When I was lost in thought, I saw a figure appearing not far away. When I came out, no one followed me out. This black shadow appeared for no reason, which scared me at the time. I threw away the mutton chops and hurriedly
Get up and run towards the tent.
"Wu Dao, is that you?" A woman's voice came out.
I stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Tang Ling. Someone asked me to bring you something!" Tang Ling.
When I heard that it was Tang Ling, I felt relieved. I walked forward, and as soon as I got in front of Tang Ling, I saw Tang Ling suddenly cover my mouth, turn around and hold my kneecap, making me unsteady.
, was put on the ground!
"What are you going to do...?" I was speechless and said in a buzzing voice.
"Xu! Don't make a sound!" Tang Ling.
A swaying big man walked out of the tent, sang a ditty, unbuttoned his trousers and walked to the edge of the mountain to urinate. When his vagina was exposed, Tang Ling turned her head and cursed a beast!
Only then did I understand why Tang Ling was covering herself. After the big man finished urinating, he tightened his belt and walked towards the tent while humming a love song...
"Tang...little...sister...can you take your hand away?" I said hesitantly.
"Wu Dao, Mr. Chen asked me to give you this. It's better for you. Don't be discovered by others. If you are in danger, press this button and someone will save you!" Tang Ling.
"Ms. Tang, what do you mean? Are you saying someone wants to harm me?" I said.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. Okay, here's what I said. Goodbye!" Tang Ling was about to leave, and I held her hand.
"Ms. Tang, wait, this is your handkerchief, I haven't had time to give it to you yet!" I put the handkerchief into Tang Ling's hand. I saw Tang Ling looking at me...
"Thank you!" Tang Ling had a cute smile on her face. Before leaving, she looked back at me and smiled slightly, then slid down the slope.
I didn't walk up the slope until I saw Tang Ling disappearing into the darkness in the distance. I took the small instrument Tang Ling gave him and took a closer look. It was about the same size as a watch. It just had a yellow button and a red button on it. Carefully.
I looked next to the buttons. There was no sign indicating what the two buttons represented. I smiled, what on earth were you thinking in my mind? I didn’t remember how to use this thing when I got it. What if?
One is safe, the other is dangerous. When you are in danger, it is okay if you press the right button, but what should you do if you press the wrong button?
I remembered the way Tang Ling looked at me just now, with all kinds of emotions in my heart. I was obviously about to have a family, and I also loved Mou Xiaoqiao very much. But for some reason, this Tang Ling gave him a great impact.
It made his mind very confused. I walked into the tent thinking about it, found a place and fell asleep......
It was terrifying to sleep in the tent for a night. The wood outside the tent kept making sounds like a woman crying. Everyone was so disturbed that they couldn't sleep well, but the night passed.
It was just dawn in the morning. Everyone started to dig a hole. According to Lu Xun, this place may be a tomb of an emperor from the Western Regions more than 2,000 years ago. It is said that there is a heavenly eye bead buried in it to ward off evil spirits. Although this orb cannot be let go,
The family's wealth is strong, but it can protect the family from being disturbed by evil spirits, and has the effect of driving away evil spirits and promoting righteousness. Lu Xun also has a partial understanding of what the Heavenly Eyes look like. These are what his father said before his death. However, I am really interested in Mou Xiaoqiao.
I heard his brother talk about the appearance of the eyes in the sky...
Lu Xun then took out the copper slip, which was just a copy. Lu Xun raised his hand and pointed upward. Did you see it? This is the place. When I saw the copper slip in Lu Xun's hand, I felt like I had lost it and found it again.
But it was just a copy of one of the patterns on the copper slips. After Lu Xun pointed it out, he carefully put it away. Because Lu Xun lost the copy of the copper slips for no reason last time, which seemed to him too
Fortunately, it was finally buried in Mount Everest. If it fell into the hands of others, it would not be the dozen or so people who are here now. I am afraid that thousands of tomb robbers would be attracted here. By then, there would still be
Lu Xun’s share?
But what Lu Xun didn't know was that the map on the copper slip was with me. But I lost it. I looked at the idiot next to me. The idiot didn't seem to know what was going on and looked at me stupidly.
smiling.
"Master Lu! Master Lu is not good! The poor boy who came with us is missing!" A camel captain in the tent ran outside the tent and shouted to Lu Xun hurriedly.
"Don't worry about him! This 'poor country' guy probably fell down a sandy slope and died when he was peeing at night!" After Lu Xun finished speaking, he began to order everyone not to worry. He warned everyone that as long as they stay together and don't separate, nothing will happen.
