Chapter 48

There is no water in the desert, just like a living person being drained from blood. Everyone is at a loss and sits in a daze.

Suddenly, An Liman shouted "Ah": "Hu Da's messenger." I saw a white shadow appearing on the sand slope not far from us. I thought I was thirsty and hungry, and my eyes were blurred, so I quickly rubbed my eyes and looked carefully.

It turned out to be the white camel that we had seen before in Xiye City. It was leisurely walking on the sand dunes and slowly heading towards the west.

The old man An Liman was extremely excited and said something unsuccessful. The white camel appeared in the cursed black desert, which meant that the ancient curse had disappeared. Hu Da took back the desert and followed Hu Da's messenger and could definitely find the water.

I don't know whether what he said is true or not. Last time, he said that the traveler who entered the desert would be safe and prosperous when he saw the white camel. Now he said that the curse in the desert has disappeared, but at this time he would rather believe it than not. Following the white camel may really find water.

At that moment, the camels quickly formed a team and followed the white camels. The tall white camels walked slowly under the scorching sun. After walking for three or four hours, they turned over a long sand beam and indeed a very small puddle appeared.

There is some sand around the puddle, and the water is not clear and may contain a small amount of minerals. Animals can drink it directly, but humans cannot drink it directly.

The camel couldn't wait to drink water. Shirley Yang found some disinfection tablets, first put the water into the filter and filtered it, and then added the disinfection tablets, and then distributed it to everyone to drink.

This puddle may be a tributary of the Zidu 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 is the best proof of the disappearance of the curse. In the past, there was no water exposed to the surface of this desert, and this puddle was definitely a miracle of Hu Da.

I set up a fire by the puddle and roasted a few naans to eat. When I didn't climb to the top of the mountain, I told them what the ghosts seemed to be holding back. This matter seemed to be true and illusory, and it made his mother's corpse fragrance and konjac toss. I couldn't tell the truth or false. Not to mention the last thing, including the entire experience in Jingjue Ancient City and the ghost cave, there was no obvious boundary for the real and illusory.

When I talked with Fatty and I about my experience in Zagrama Mountain, it was like a breathless nightmare. Fatty said: "This dog-tail flower is so fucking amazing. Maybe we have never entered the Jingjue Ancient City. All of this is an illusion created by the ghost flower."

Shirley Yang, who had never spoken much, said, "No, now I'm out of danger and then look back and think about it carefully. The characteristics of the illusion of corpse fragrance konjac are still very obvious. It can only use the memories that already exist in our minds, but it cannot create things we have never seen before, the queen's coffin, ghost cave, prophet's tomb, and prophecy. These are all real. We have also seen the black snake before, and the prophetic stone paintings that lure us to kill each other. The first stone box on the stone box is real. Because we have seen the first layer of prophecy, the corpse fragrance konjac can create illusion on the second layer of stone box."

I said to Shirley Yang: "The real heroes have similar views. I think so too, but I'm not sure, so I haven't said it. Should we discuss how to get out of the desert now?"

Shirley Yang said: "This is going to bother Grandpa An Liman. He is a living map in the desert. Let's not beware of his opinions first."

When An Liman saw the boss’s words, he drew a few times on the sand with his hands. This area is our general location now. Going south is the ruins of Niya, which is very far away, and it is all desert. If we have enough water, we may not be able to reach Niya. To the east is Lop Nur, in the middle is the boundless Gobi Desert on the other side, and to the north is the direction we are coming, which is the direction of Xiye City. However, it is not easy for us to go back deep into the heart of the desert.

Now it seems that it is not easy to walk in the southeast, north and south, and the only thing left is the west, and the Tarim River is the largest inland river in the desert. From our current location, if you walk fast, you can reach the intersection of the Tarim River, Yarkand River and Hetian River in about ten days. It will be easy to get there. Replenish the clear water and continue walking west for another six or seven days. It will be not far from Aksu. There are troops nearby and oil fields, so you can ask for their help.

The water we lack most now is sufficient, which can last for almost ten days. There are some foods. Water is more important than eating in the desert. If you really have nothing to eat, you can still eat camels.

It took a full day to filter the water in the sand nest little by little, and then set off as planned. Along the way, I couldn't help but eat hunger, thirsty and drink, and wind and sun. I stayed in the morning and walked at night. Finally, I walked to the Tarim River on the twelfth day, and then continued to travel westward. On the third day, I met an oil field worker who entered the desert to fight yellow sheep. At that time, Professor Chen had only breathed a sigh of relief.

The feeling of escaping from the depths of the desert to escape step by step is not something that people living in normal environments can easily understand. Since then, I have developed a habit of drinking water at home, no matter how big the cup is, I always drink no drop left in one breath.

Later, after returning to Beijing, I didn't see Shirley Yang for a while. She might be busy looking for a doctor to treat Professor Chen, or she was dealing with the funeral of the victims. This time, many people died in the archaeological team. Of course, the relevant departments wanted to investigate. I was afraid that someone would find out that it was a lieutenant of gold, so I tried to avoid the important things. It was untrue to say that it was a very dangerous factor in entering the desert to get archaeology, but four people died in one go, one teacher and three students, and one professor was crazy. It was a major event at that time.

Let’s stop talking. One day, the fat man found two sweet girls to dance and asked me to go with me. I had nightmares all night a few days ago, and my head hurts so I didn’t go with them. I lay alone on the bed. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. I agreed to get up from the bed and cursed in my heart, "Grandma, someone is probably here to investigate the situation."

When I opened the door, I found that it was Shirley Yang who had not seen him for many days. I quickly invited her into the house and asked her how she found her here. Shirley Yang said it was the address given by Da Jinya.

I said wonderingly: "Do you know Big Gold Teeth?"

Shirley Yang said: "Even if you know each other, I'm not very familiar with each other. My father used to like collecting antiques and did some business with him. Professor Chen and him are also familiar with him. Today I came to you to give you money from you and the fat man. In two days, I'll take Professor Chen to go abroad for treatment. During this period, I'll check some things. We should not meet again."

I didn't expect it at first, but now when I heard her say she wanted to pay, it was a surprise. On the surface, I had to pretend to be polite: "I'm going back to China? Is Mr. Chen better sick? I was about to go and see him. You see, you still have to ask for money. How inappropriate is this? We didn't help you. You Americans are not rich. Really, are you giving cash?"

Shirley Yang 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 something."

I thought to myself that this girl is afraid she wants to take revenge on me. Maybe she always wants to take my old secrets, think about countermeasures, and perfunctorily said: "What can you ask me for me? It seems that rich people also have troubles. They don't want me to help you spend money, right?"

Shirley Yang said: "The elders in your family are considered to be fellow travelers. My grandfather washed his hands in Jinbain and stopped doing business in a fight because the lieutenant of the gold trooper was extremely harmful to his good deeds. No matter how hard his life was, it would inevitably lead to an accident. I hope you will stop here in the future and stop doing fights. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to the United States. I will arrange for you..."

When I heard this, I felt that my mood was not smooth. American girl wanted me to join her and interfere with her in the future. It would be easy for me to be a company commander. What's the future for me to live under someone else's roof? What's the point of being a woman? So I interrupted her: "Good intentions, I appreciate it, but you only know one thing, not the second, it's not the second. It's not good to touch the gold lieutenant, but Chairman Mao taught us that everything has its own two sides. Good things can turn into bad things, and bad things can turn into good things. This is called dialectical materialism

Since you know that I am fighting against each other, I won’t hide some things from you. I have principles and positions. I will never touch the ancient tombs that have been protected and discovered. There are large tombs and relics that have not been discovered in the mountains and forests. There are countless treasures buried in them. Only those who know the secret techniques of Feng Shui can find these things. If you don’t fall these tombs, they may have been sleeping underground and will never have the chance to see the light of day again. In addition, the changes and erosion of the natural environment also poses a great threat to those ancient tombs that have not been discovered. I see it in my eyes and hurt in my heart..."

Shirley Yang saw that I was striking and said helplessly: "Okay, I advise you to turn back with kindness. I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable. You have to fight back with confidence. I'm afraid there is no other person like you can argue like this. Since you are so backbone, I can't help but look at you with admiration. I didn't say what I said just now. I guess you wouldn't want to ask for this money..."

I quickly pressed my hand on the paper bag containing the money: "Wait, this money is considered to be what you lent me... and calculate the interest at the interest rate of the People's Bank of China."
