Chapter 57
Xueli Yang looked at the pair of cousins gnawing on pears.
Then she said: "By the way, I have always wanted to say something to you, but I just haven't had the chance. Now, are you willing to listen?"
Xueli Yang has a lot of things on her mind. Or it might seem like a huge secret to her, but in Hu Ming's eyes, it's nothing.
Isn’t it just a matter of breaking the curse? Who doesn’t know yet?
"You can say whatever you want!" Hu Ming shrugged.
Hu Bayi also looked at Yang Xueli and nodded.
Anyway, it’s time to rest now. If there’s nothing else to do, let’s chat together to enhance our relationship.
"I told you before that my father organized an archaeological team to explore the Western Regions. There is a reason why my father is obsessed with the culture of the Western Regions..." After saying this, Shirley Yang paused, but still I feel like I should hide some of my secrets.
After all, the two brothers and Hu Bayi have not yet reached the point where they can talk about everything.
"My father bought a batch of cultural relics from the Western Regions at an auction house in Yingguo. It was later identified as being from the late Han Dynasty. This batch of cultural relics also included bamboo slips with ancient calligraphy, which recorded the ancient city of Jingjue."< br>
"The record is that there are thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and Jingjue Kingdom is just one of them. Later, because of the outbreak of war, the countries in the Western Regions united to attack the ancient city of Jingjue, the capital of Jingjue Kingdom, but At this time, the hurricane carried wind and sand and submerged the ancient city of Jingjue. From then on, there was no longer the ancient city of Jingjue, nor the country of Jingjue."
"Until the outbreak of World War II, an eagle named Walter. A Chinese explorer led a team of expert explorers into the desert to search for the ancient city. But when they came back, only Walt was left. He was crazy, but such a crazy person could actually come out of the depths of the desert. , This is very strange. "
"And Walt's notebook records their route into the desert, as well as photos. There is an ancient city in the desert on top of the photos. Walt is the only one to find the perfect ancient city. He was also the only one who came back alive from the ancient city of Jingjue. Unfortunately, he was crazy.
Yang Shirley frowned and looked at the Hu Bayi brothers, and found that Hu Bayi frowned slightly. , while Hu Ming showed no expression at all. Yang Xueli knew that he was not attracted by her words, and she felt helpless.
It seems that you don't believe what I say.
“The Black Desert is a very strange place. Three of the world’s top explorers once went deep into the Black Desert. But not long after, their bodies were found. They died of dehydration. , but the strange thing is that there is still most of the water in their water bottles, they should not die of dehydration."
"So Hu Ming and Hu Bayi, I believe that the ancient city of Jingjue exists, but not. The ancient city is exquisite, but the black desert is full of weirdness. I hope you can help me deal with some strange things, okay?"
Both Hu Bayi and Hu Ming were silent, and then Hu Ming said: "After we collect your money, we will naturally protect you. Don't worry about that."
Xueli Yang shook her head helplessly after hearing this.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was on the road on time.
Still according to the old rules, Fatty walked behind and Hu Ming walked in front.
“Walking in this vast desert, if I hadn’t seen the long footprints behind me, I wouldn’t have felt that I was walking. I really admire those explorers who went to various dangerous places alone. Exploring unknown things." Yang Xueli rode a camel and walked in a row with Hu Bayi. She always had a smile on her pretty face and seemed to be in a good mood. But just like Fatty said, only she knows what An's heart is.
……
The next day, everyone was short of water again.
Suddenly, the entire camel team stopped. An Liman jumped down and looked around. His cloudy eyes were full of doubts. After looking for a long time, he gently patted the camel's head and said, "Xiao Hong It feels so familiar here, do you remember it?"
Xiaohong is the name of a camel, which is more humane. It hummed a few times and nodded. Suddenly, An Liman was so surprised that he rushed to Hu Ming's side. He said in a trembling voice: "Comrade Hu Ming, I remember, I have been here before. When my brothers and I entered the desert, we also encountered a sandstorm and it was blown away. When I woke up, there was still food and water. No more.”
“At that time I thought I was dying of thirst, but Hu Da sent his envoy to pick me up, so I followed the envoy and kept walking until I found the source of water.”
Everyone came together, looking excited and happy.
The feeling of not having water, they just experienced it yesterday, it was horrible. Now listening to An Liman's words, it is obvious that there is a well water for them to drink, even if it is used for bathing, it is not a problem.
"But that was twenty years ago. Now, I wonder if the water in the well has dried up?"
An Liman said another sentence that made them feel uneasy.
"Old man, are you sure there is water there?"
The fat man was worried that if he walked over and there was no water, he would die of thirst. He didn't want to die in the desert. But now there is no choice but to ask An Liman if he is not sure. In fact, it is just to comfort himself.
"I told you, that was twenty years ago. How could I know now?"
An Liman doesn't dare to bet. If there is no water, wouldn't everyone be killed by him? , but when the time comes to kill the camel, what can he do? But if he doesn't go there, he will continue to look for the ancient Kongque River channel, and he won't be able to reach it in less than two days' journey.
There is no water left. I can’t hold on even today. How can I hold on for two days?
We have to kill the camel!
“Old man, our current situation As you can see, it would be a disaster if there was no water.”
An Liman looked at Hu Bayi and wrinkled his face, "Leader Hu, the water source in the desert changes. The sand dunes will move and the water source will disappear. Unless it is a fixed water source that does not dry up all year round, then it is a well water. "Twenty years ago, there was a lot of water in it, but now..."
"I don't care if it's still there, just look for it," Hu Ming said, and An Li couldn't help but click. He nodded and immediately rode a camel to lead the way, looking at the mountains and running to death. This walk lasted from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., and everyone was still rushing under the scorching sun.
I dare not stop, I can only move forward.
The fat man is wearing a cloak and a raincoat, which are sun-protective and suitable for use in the desert.
