Chapter 64 Leisure and leisure

Unfortunately, they were still a little happy too early. After An Liman came out of the police station, they followed An Liman to his house and began to change their minds.

An Li was dedicated to feeding his camels with delicious food and drink, but he never mentioned the matter of entering the desert.

Seeing An Liman like this, Shirley Yang could only ask: "Uncle An Liman, when will we set off?"

An Liman seemed to have not heard it, and continued to feed his camels, muttering while feeding, "These people don't know how to raise camels at all, they have lost weight."

Hu Bayi and others saw An Liman like this a bit of a headache, especially when others asked, they said that their camels had to be full and full of food, money, and sometimes they said that the wind season entered the desert was too dangerous and that they wanted to save their lives.

In the end, Hu Bayi was cunning and directly asked the fat man to threaten An Liman. If he didn't help, they would not be able to plead with the police station's people, so they would send him back to the police station.

An Liman became a little more honest, but hesitated to enter the desert. In the end, Hu Bayi could only go on the battlefield himself and said a few words in An Liman's ear. An Liman looked at Hu Bayi in shock, and finally agreed to enter the desert in the dangerous wind season. Because only in this season can the ruins of Jingjue Ancient City be found.

Two days later, Zhao Shucheng and his group rode camels and followed An Liman to formally step into the desert.

I have to say that An Liman is worthy of being a living map of the desert. After entering the desert, the group did not encounter any setbacks or any dangers.

Everyone set out from Bosten Lake and walked south along the Peacock River Ancient Road. Bosten means "oasis" in Uyghur, and "stand" in Mongolian, which means "stand". At the same time, it is also the largest inland freshwater eddler lake in our country. The Peacock River originates from here and then flows to the depths of the Taklamakan Desert.

However, the itinerary in the desert was boring. It was fine at the beginning to follow the ancient Peacock River Road. After leaving the river and entering the desert for two days, everyone lost the charm of the first day and was covered in dust.

Especially wherever you see, in addition to the desert endemic plants that you can occasionally see, there is also sand.

It was too boring for everyone to walk all the way, so they stopped to rest. Shirley Yang took the camera to take pictures of the surrounding scenery. Hu Bayi saw it and walked to Shirley Yang and said, "Sherley, the more beautiful the thing is, the more dangerous it is."

An Liman pointed to the distance and said, "You guys take advantage of your life and hurry up and take a few photos!"

An Liman actually didn't think this group could go deep into the desert. They had no experience in living in the desert and were wasting water to wash their hands. Maybe they could return the same way after today.

He persuaded Hu Bayi to take everyone back because no one has ever entered the desert in Fengshi, and no one has ever really found the ancient city of Jingjue and the gold, silver and treasures inside. No one can bring out the things in the black desert.

The next day, early in the morning, the group was about to set off, but unexpectedly, the sky gradually became dark and there were fiery red clouds in the sky. An Liman looked nervous when he saw it.

He asked the camel caravan to stop, and he came to the sand dunes and knelt directly on the ground to worship the future.

Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi saw An Liman's unusual movements and came to him and asked, "My man, is it going to change the sky? As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles. The fire in the morning is not a good sign, right?"

"Yes, the clouds in the sky are bleeding, and God is probably angry. The desert is about to roar again, the wind is blowing, and it is very big and very wind."

Zhao Shucheng knew that this was the first difficulty they needed to face, and he didn't have the heart to ask anything. He went back to the team and asked everyone to hurry up and prepare to change their positions.

Not long after everyone left, suddenly the roar of the wind came from a distance, and then they saw the sand dunes in the distance roaring towards them, and the sky became gray.

Everyone rode the camel and ran away desperately with An Liman. They had long lost their freedom and freedom as before. They were all exhausted one after another, and could only barely grasp the saddle on the camel.

Seeing that the archaeological team behind could not hold on, Hu Bayi could only let An Liman stop first, rest and continue on the road.

It was when everyone was resting that they realized how embarrassed they were when they fled all the way. Hao Aiguo lost his eyes and almost became blind. Fortunately, the others in the archaeological team brought spare glasses so that he could see things again.

Unfortunately, everyone didn't have much time to rest, and Fengsha would not give them a chance to breathe. Faced with Fengsha who had caught up with him again, everyone could only escape with An Liman again.

Unfortunately, the rest just now was not enough to let everyone take a break, especially Professor Chen. After all, he was so old and had not exercised much, so he quickly lost his energy and could not grasp the saddle on the camel and fell directly from the camel.

When Zhao Shucheng turned around inadvertently, he could only turn the camel around and come to Professor Chen, leaned over and grabbed Professor Chen, drove the camel to catch up with the previous team, and then threw Professor Chen on the camel he was riding before.

Hu Bayi actually found that Professor Chen was behind. He was about to discuss with An Liman to stop. When he was looking for it himself, he saw Zhao Shucheng and Professor Chen catching up from behind.

When An Liman saw that Zhao Shucheng had caught up, he quickly led everyone to continue running for life. Unfortunately, everyone's speed was still a little slow, and it was too late to reach the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, where he had booked.

An Liman's camels also stopped and squatted down one by one, as if they were tired.

After seeing this, Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise: "Uncle An Liman, why did you let the camel stop? Let's continue running!"

"I can't run away anymore. The camel was frightened. It knew the danger of a black sandstorm. It was useless if it ran away. So just wait to die here."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hu Bayi also heard it and said anxiously: "Old man, you said the living map of the desert, you must have a way."

‘There is no way, wait for death!’

"I have to find a way if I can't do it!"

Zhao Shucheng didn't believe that this would be his burial place. He wore a windshield and looked around to see if there was any place to hide.

Sure enough, there was a ruin not far away. Although I don’t know if I could resist this black sandstorm, it was better than if everyone was just covering it with camels in this empty place.

"An Liman, Hu Bayi, not far away is an ancient city ruin. It is better for us to go there than here."

An Liman looked at the ruins not far away, then at the black sandstorm roaring behind him, and knew that time was not waiting for anyone, so he drove his camel and took everyone to take refuge in the ruins.

When we arrived at the edge of the ruins, we realized that this place was a mountain range of wind-eroded rocks. An Liman asked the camel to lie down to avoid the wind and sand, while Hu Bayi and others came down to the ruins to avoid the black sandstorm under Zhao Shucheng.

I don’t know if this ruin is caused by time erosion or has been destroyed by others. A hole was made at the top, which just allows the archaeological team members to enter.

After entering, it was like a narrow cave, with a lot of sand pouring in it. Fortunately, the space was not small, and the archaeological team members could rest here and avoid black sandstorms.

As the team leader, Hu Bayi counted the number of people and found that everyone was there. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Zhao Shucheng, however, wore a windshield and looked at the black sandstorm not far away from the gap in the house. He always felt that the black sandstorm had come too coincidental.

Due to the heavy wind and sand, Shirley Yang took off her glasses after entering the house, but she didn't expect that the dust that fell from the house fell into her eyes and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

Originally, Ye Yixin, who was also a girl, helped Yang Xueli solve the problem, but she had no experience. In the end, Hu Bayi took a look and asked Ye Yixin to clean her with water.

When An Liman said that the black sandstorm had just begun and he didn't know when it would end, Hu Bayi knew that everyone might need to rest here for a while.

"Fatty, you and Sardipeng go outside to move in the food, water and sleeping bags. We may need to stay here for one night. Everyone has to take turns on duty at night. If you can't keep an eye on the gaps around the house and let the sand leak and bury us inside, it's no different from outside."

As he said that, Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Master Zhao, go outside with me and find some wood. While the wind is not strong at this moment, we will find it earlier. Otherwise, the desert will be too cold at night and it will not be possible without a fire to keep warm."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "This is no problem. I just saw that there were wreckage of desert plants around me. It is still time to pick it up now."

As he said that, a few people started to act. After a while, Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi picked up a lot of saxalwood and red willow wood from around the ruins and transported them back to the house again and again.

Everyone fixed the ground in the room and sat in front of the fire and chatted.

Shirley Yang looked at An Liman who said nothing, and said, "Uncle An Liman, I just saw the footprints of animals in the corner of the wall, which are the footprints of wolves."

Fatty Wang also spoke, "I forgot if you don't say it. I just saw six or seven yellow sheep by the wall over there."

"This is what God has prepared for the animals in the desert. Now you only see the yellow sheep, maybe there are wolves and leopards hidden. Now there are sandstorms hanging in the sky, and the animals on the ground are frightened. At this moment, wolves and sheep are hiding in the same room. When the sandstorm stops, it is a wolf that should bare its teeth. If it is a yellow sheep, it should show its horns on its head."

When everyone heard An Liman's words, they became a little worried.

"So after the wind and sand pass, will the wolf and the leopard discover us?"

"Yes, even if we can escape the storm, we can't escape this matter." Hu Bayi said.

"Xiao Hu, Sardipeng is timid, don't scare him." Hao Aiguo said.

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's not considered a scare. This is one of the dangers you may encounter in the desert."

"As the saying goes, fighting with the sky and the earth, there is endless fun."

Ye Yixin said: "I didn't think of this sentence before, but now I think about it really makes sense."

Hao Aiguo looked at Ye Yixin and asked curiously: "Xiao Ye, what are you holding in your hand?"

After hearing this, Ye Yixin looked at the branches that he accidentally picked up and played with. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and threw it out quickly.

It turned out that what Ye Yixin was holding was not a branch, but a bone, and it looked like a human rib.

This scared Ye Yixin, and the people from the archaeological team were also a little surprised and couldn't help but start exploring the room.

Soon everyone discovered that there were white bones buried under the sand in the room, including humans and animals.

Others didn't think there was anything, but Zhao Shucheng understood that this was one of the nests of desert marching ants. However, there were black sandstorms now, so desert marching ants hid underground and couldn't come out. However, after the black sandstorm stopped, everyone had to do was to run away.

"Professor Hao, these bones are a little strange."

"What's strange about it? Isn't the bones all like this?"

Hu Bayi said: "It's just the bones that are a little strange. The dead in the desert will not rot. They usually become mummies after being dried naturally."

Yang Xueli followed and said, "But there is no flesh on this bone."

An Liman said, "Maybe the wolf will eat it all up."

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Uncle An Liman, do you think the wolf in the desert will let go of bones and eat only meat? Besides, the bones are shaved so clean, I don't think the wolf has such ability."

"Xiao Zhao, what do you think?" Professor Chen and his friends looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously when they heard Zhao Shucheng say this.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Although large carnivores eat meat, they do not eat so cleanly. Only small carnivores are possible. And when you look at the traces on it, there are only subtle scratches, as if they were shaved bit by bit. What animal do you think can still shaved meat? "

"Brother Zhao, don't keep it aside, tell us quickly."

"Ants, and they are very fierce ants." Zhao Shucheng said as he looked at his feet. He didn't expect that he was on the desert marching ants, but he didn't know if he could face so many desert marching ants at the same time.

Although Hu Bayi didn't know if Zhao Shucheng's guess was right, he knew that this place might not be as safe as expected.

"Although what Zhao Shucheng said may not be completely correct, it is indeed unsafe here. This person may be avoiding sandstorms like us, but was attacked by animals, so he was unable to leave. We must take turns on duty and tell everyone in time when encountering any situation. If the storm passes, we will evacuate here immediately."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, and did not want to continue to stay in this place where there may be dangerous animals such as wolves and leopards.
