In addition to these people, there are two young men of eighteen years old.

One of them is called Xiao Langzi. He was a man who wandered into the village a few years ago. He was a mute. He usually lived under the big mills in the village and stuttered by doing odd jobs for others.

No one can tell his origin at that time, there were often people begging for food and living, so this kind of personnel movement was quite normal.

Another person was Yun Jiang. His mother was an educated youth who came to Yatuer Farm from Urumqi in his early years. At that time, he called on educated youth to combine with poor and lower-middle peasants. His mother married a villager. After giving birth to him, the Cultural Revolution ended and the educated youth returned home. His mother cruelly left him and returned to Urumqi, and never returned.

These are the ten people who were selected into the archaeological team at that time.

Wen Mushan and Fei Tang gave them simple training in Kalayatur, and then took supplies and headed into the desert.

Of course, in addition to these ten people, there is another special person who lives in the Yatur farm.

His name is Zhang Xiangyang, who was the first herder to discover the ruins of Xiye Kingdom.

It is probably a bit exaggerated to call him a herder, because he was only fifteen years old at that time and was still a sheep-herding child. It was precisely because Zhang Xiangyang refused to go into the desert to be a guide again, so the archaeological team could only try to choose to be closer to the desert, and was more familiar with the local people in Yatuer to be migrant workers and guides.

Zhang Xiangyang later kept his mouth shut and refused to reveal too much information about his discovery of the site, and was unwilling to say why he was unwilling to be a guide.

After Wen Mushan disappeared, Captain Sugar looked for Zhang Xiangyang and advised him to reveal some information about the Xiye site.

But Zhang Xiangyang waved his hand hard and just kept saying: "That place is so evil. I almost died there and I never want to go again!"

Then he locked himself in a house on the farm and no one told him to come out again. After the matter subsided, he left Yatur Farm. He went to Kashgar and showed a warehouse for a state-owned factory. Later, the factory collapsed, and he had never been married and had children. He is still living in Kashgar.

For more than 20 years, Captain Garlic has been trying to find out why Zhang Xiangyang is unwilling to return to the desert.

Hard work pays off. He has a relative in Kashgar who also works in that state-owned factory. He is a small leader who just takes care of Zhang Xiangyang. Because he is also a fellow villager in Yecheng, he takes good care of him.

One year during the holiday, the relatives of Captain Garlic invited Zhang Xiangyang to dinner. That time, Zhang Xiangyang drank too much and talked about his own affairs.

"Xiao Zhang, you are not young anymore, so you won't find a partner. If you are scared, uncle will introduce you to Xiao Wu, who is in charge of the warehouse, is about the same age as you, and has always been single..."

Who knew that Zhang Xiangyang shook his head vigorously, raised his neck, drank a glass of wine, and said, "Uncle, I appreciate your kindness. Who doesn't want to start a family and start a career? But I am a person who can't get married."

"What's going on?" Captain Garlic's relative was puzzled.

"Oh, I blamed me for not paying attention when I was a child and was cursed."

"Curse?" Captain Garlic's relative was unhappy, "Xiangyang, it's okay if you don't want to get along with someone, why do you say such things?"

Zhang Xiangyang was also panicked when he saw that his leader was angry.

"Uncle, I don't mean that. I have never told anyone about this. When I was a child, I showed sheep on the farm. Once the sheep ran away and I went to the desert to look for it, but I was confused and encountered strong wind and sand.

"The wind and sand are really covering the sky. I have no place to hide or hide. I thought I must have been there. I found a place, curled up, squatted hard, and wanted to wait for the wind and sand to pass. Who knew that when the strong wind passed, not only did I not bury me, but instead blew out an ancient city!"

The leader smiled: "Isn't it common to blow a ruined wall in the desert?"

The leader said it is actually right. The Taklamakan Desert has been expanding in history. It has swallowed up many places where humans have lived and turned some oasis into a sea of ​​sand. Therefore, it is not uncommon to discover ruins in the desert.

Who knew that Zhang Xiangyang smiled bitterly and said, "The ancient city I discovered is different from the ruins. It is not large in size, and the rammed earth walls have collapsed. At that time, the wind and sand stopped, and I was strolling inside to see if I could pick up any cultural relics and make money by submitting them to the country, right?

"Oh, I blame it for being greedy at that time. I walked around the city and saw a white thing in a corner. I thought it was a jade or a box, so I picked it out.

"I didn't know if I didn't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. What kind of cultural relics are there? It's a skull of a person!

"I was so scared that I threw my skull away and ran away. Who knew that after running for a few steps, I felt empty under my feet. Then with a 'boom', I had fallen into a huge cellar!"

When Zhang Xiangyang said this, his face was pale. He drank two sips of white wine in a row, as if he was shocking himself.

"What after?" The leader was already immersed in his ears and asked hurriedly.

"Oh, there was a big hole in the ceiling of the cellar. I quickly sat up. When I saw the surroundings, I was so scared that I almost couldn't find it back! There were rows of things around the cellar, and they were all white and turned back with light.

"Leader, you have never experienced that kind of scene. In the dark cellar, with the sunlight coming through, you see hundreds of skulls, lined up in dense lines, staring at you with black eye holes... I just recall it and I will suddenly get goosebumps all over my body!"

Captain Garlic's relatives were also shaking.

"And what? How did you get out of the cellar?"

"Oh!" Zhang Xiangyang sighed, and there was no trace of blood on his face. "The cellar was very high. I was so scared that I just wanted to escape as soon as possible. I endured my fear and searched around in the cellar, wanting to find something to cushion.

"I vaguely saw an object in the corner deep, so I quickly walked over and touched it. The thing felt hard, probably made of copper and iron. I tried my best to move it under the hole, and after a closer look, I found that it was a movable stove.

"There is a row of holes on the stove, and each hole contains a small iron pot. Perhaps because it is too old, the iron pot has rusted and is connected to the stove.

"There are lids on the iron pot. You know, people are a bit voyeuristic. They want to open the locked door when they see it, and they want to open the closed drawer when they see it.
