244. I dug it! 【2/2】
.There is more than a hundred miles from Jiashan Oasis to the center of Shanghai. This road is not easy to walk. The long wind and sand are shaking everyone's faces like a knife. The soldiers are covered with wind-proof masks, wrapped in thick cloaks, and walking deep and shallowly on the dunes. Several long rows of footprints are dragged out on the dunes...
Yi Yun opened the car window several times and looked out, but he saw the same scenery... Sand dunes, sand dunes, sand dunes, high and low sand dunes, endless sand dunes...
After that, Yi Yun simply stopped looking outside, but it looked exactly the same anyway.
It took more than a hundred miles and four or five days to walk, and several times of the highway sand and wind were blowing the sand, making everyone unable to open their eyes. Everyone had to stop, lie down, protect their heads and faces with their hands, and let the wind and sand roll wildly. When the wind and sand pass, everyone's body was covered with a layer of thick sand.
Fortunately, the Yiwu soldiers are used to being poor and suffering. Although life is not easy in the desert, they can eat well, wear warm clothes and live a good life under the leadership of Yi Yun. Occasionally, they will go out to perform difficult tasks like this, and everyone has no complaints. They also believe that there must be a reason for Prince Jiashan to lead them out to endure hardships, so no one complained.
On the road, we passed several very narrow sand rivers, and the soldiers boarded the pontoon bridge and easily crossed.
That morning, the golden sunshine scattered on the sand surface, and everyone finally walked to the center of Shanghai. A golden quicksand river appeared in front of them, about four or five hundred meters wide, flowing slowly from west to east.
"Report to the prince, I found a larger nameless sand river ahead. Do you want to build a floating bridge to go there?" Qi Xing replied to the report: "Please give instructions from the prince."
Yi Yun lifted the window of the sand truck and looked at the sand river, looking left and right, recalling the location of the central area of Shanghai that appeared on later movies, TV and map albums. After thinking for a long time, he connected it with the terrain in front of him. He couldn't help but say joyfully: "That's right, this nameless sand river is the Huangpu River... This river bank is the Bund! It's impossible to be wrong!"
The Bund was one of the first places to flourish in Shanghai. In another world, British colonists took the lead in establishing the British Concession here, and later the French also came to build a French Concession. The Concession used the Western management method at that time, so it was built better and more prosperous than other areas under the management of the Qing government."

Yi Yun said happily: "Stop the march and set up camp here!"
"yes!"
Eight hundred soldiers unloaded their carry-on luggage, took out the tents and other items, and soon established a simple camp on the sand dunes. The outer circle was surrounded by simple iron fences and used as temporary walls of the camp. There were tents where soldiers lived, and in the middle was parked with large sand trucks where Yi Yun and the girls lived, which looked orderly.
Yi Yun first asked the soldiers to rest for a night, and early the next morning, he gathered all the soldiers on the flat ground in the middle of the camp.
"Brothers, ah! I have an ancestral treasure map. The map sign has a mysterious treasure nearby. But... ah, I don't know what this treasure is, I only know it's very valuable. Everyone should work hard to find this thing. After finding it, everyone will issue a 'Treasure Hunt Military Medal'!" Yi Yun said with a smile. He didn't want to say too early that there was a cork here, because the world of Da Mengguo is a bit different from the world where he is. If he said with certainty that there was a cork here but there was nothing, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
It would be better to say that it was coming to treasure hunting. If you find the cork, you would say that the cork is a treasure. If you can't find it, you might say that the treasure may have been picked up by someone else. This is not embarrassing. It's a matter of face, so you would rather die than surrender.
When the soldiers heard that there were treasures in the sand dunes nearby, they began to be excited. Yiwu soldiers were all crosstalk actors, and they all laughed: "So it's a treasure hunt? So interesting!"
"I knew the prince would not travel in the desert for nothing. There must be work to do when he went out this time."
"Let's guess what treasure it is?"
"Tsk, I guess it's a gold chamber pot!"
"Tsk! It must be Baiyu's toilet!"
"You poor, will the prince respect these useless things? I guess... it's the Crystal Beauty Statue!"
Yi Yun despised them for a while and said loudly: "Stop talking nonsense, let me spread out and look for it. Remember, search every suspicious place like a carpet, and dig every sand pit to see. If the ground is a little hard, or it looks like something is buried, all of them are dug out and dig three feet into the ground!"
"Team one, look south, team two look southwest, team three look west, team four look north!"
Every two hundred soldiers divided into a team and searched in four directions. Yi Yun and a few girls stayed in the middle, waiting for their news.
Rows of soldiers digging on the dunes while spreading in four directions. Due to the large number of people, they soon dug large areas of sand dunes, and rows of sand pits were arranged neatly.
"I'm kidding, these guys are all professional pit digging owners? The pits they dug are so beautiful!" Yi Yun was sweating profusely.
"Prince, we Yiwu people used to live by digging silver mines, digging pits on the mountains every day!" A Yiwu soldier laughed and said, "When it comes to the level of digging pits, if we Yiwu people recognize the second place, only Shanxi people in the world can rank first."
"What's wrong with Shanxi?" Yi Yun Daqi.
"Well, it is said that Shanxi people are also very good at digging coal!" Yiwu soldiers said with a smile.
"Damn it!" Yi Yun kicked the guy away: "That guy from Daqing is also very good at digging oil? Go play."
While waiting for the soldiers to dig a hole, Yi Yun talked and laughed with a few girls. The day passed quickly. The Yiwu soldiers searched hard, but the search for this day did not achieve much. Although the Shanghai Center was placed in the entire Dameng Kingdom, it was just a small place, but even such a small place was very vast in the eyes of 800 people, and it could not be found in one or two days.
The soldiers of Yiwu dug many sand holes, and the dead poisonous scorpions occasionally penetrated from these sand holes, but the soldiers were prepared when digging the holes. Before the poisonous scorpions crawled out, they were trampled to death by them, so no one was injured.
I didn't find anything the next day, the third day... the fourth day...
On the fifth day, the soldiers searching southwest suddenly sent back the message and asked Yi Yun to go over and take a look, saying that he had found something strange.
Yi Yun was excited and quickly brought a group of girls to watch.
In the southwest of the Bund, approximately on the Huangqing River near Xujiahui, there were many sand holes in front of the earth pit dug by the soldiers, at least dozens of them. These sand holes are not big, each of which is only as thick as an arm. It seems that the dead poisonous scorpion is living inside. Judging from the number of sand holes, there are quite a lot of dead poisonous scorpions here...
"Do you ask me to see the poisonous scorpion?" Yi Yun asked strangely: "What's so strange about digging this thing?"
Qi Xing reported: "Prince, there are surprisingly many poisonous scorpions here. Look at this sand cave, there are dozens of them. When you walk forward, there are more sand caves. I guess there are no less than a thousand dead poisonous scorpions living here..."
"I'm dizzy, so much?" Yi Yun Khan: "Why are these guys gathering here?"
"I don't know!" Qi Xing wiped his sweat: "In addition, my subordinates discovered a strange thing... In the past few days, we have dug up several miles away from nearby. We have come and go, but we have never seen any other poisons, such as the common poisonous snakes, gophers, etc. in other deserts. There is no one here. Come and go, but I have only seen poisonous scorpions. It seems that there is nothing here except poisonous scorpions."
"Oh, is this a scorpion paradise?" Yi Yun laughed and said, "Catch them all to make a pot of fresh scorpion soup."
After saying a few strange words, he suddenly laughed and said, "There must be a strange treasure in the abnormality. What we are looking for may be in the most concentrated area of these scorpion caves, and call all the brothers over and concentrate on digging this poisonous scorpion settlement..."
"yes!"
Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing quickly ran out to greet the soldiers who were digging in the other three directions, and called them all to the most concentrated place of the Poison Scorpion Cave. Eight hundred soldiers waved their shovels together and digged desperately... Yi Yun stopped going back to the Bund, and asked the soldiers to drive the sand carts over, and stopped beside the area of the Poison Scorpion Cave, watching the soldiers dig continuously.
As more and more sand pits were dug, more and more poisonous scorpions were dug out. Under the ground of this dune, there were scorpion holes everywhere, almost emptying the entire dune. I don’t know what kind of huge poisonous scorpion area was formed to live under the ground.
There were three or four hundred poisonous scorpions trampled to death by the soldiers!
After another day of digging, a soldier suddenly shouted happily: "Brothers, I have dug up something strange, come and see!"
A group of people surrounded him, and Yi Yun also squeezed over and looked around. Under the sand surface that the soldier shoveled open, a piece of strange wood was lumped out, with rounded corners, yellow and soft wood... It was only dug out a very small corner, and I don't know how big it was below... But it is certain that it will never be small, because the small corner it came out cannot be shaken with his hands.
Yi Yun was overjoyed: "Cork, an extremely huge cork! Hahaha! Brothers, dig me hard, be careful and don't break this cork."
After hearing Yi Yun's words, the soldiers finally understood what they had dug. This was a cork? Doesn't that mean that a new oasis is about to appear? Very good! So handsome.
