Chapter 21 Queen Mother's Can

I really couldn't stand it. I jumped down and went to help. As soon as I touched the man's hand, my heart sank. I knew there was no chance. The man's hand was cold and he was already dead.

It took us a lot of effort to dig him out and drag it aside. Below this man, I saw the pale face of the Caucasian, curled up, staring at his eyes, stretched his hand forward, holding an intercom, maintaining a stiff gesture, as if he wanted to crawl out of it.

It seems that he was the one who sent the signal. I saw the walkie-talkie and thought to myself.

I pulled him out, Aning touched his neck again, his face changed, "I'm still alive!" He immediately untied the Caucasians' clothes, then gave him CPR, and shouted to me: "Tell Taxi, let the team doctor prepare for rescue, someone was buried and suffocated." Then he went to do artificial respiration for the Caucasians.

I quickly got up and shouted outside. After hearing this, Tashi immediately shouted at the team doctor under the mound. I turned around and saw the Caucasians twitching, the people shrank, and began to vomit at the same time, but they obviously resumed their breathing.

"You go up and take over!" Aning said to me in an unquestionable tone, his tone was very flat, but full of majesty.

I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly I was electrocuted by her expression, and did as she said like a conditioned reflex. Then Aning quickly took off his clothes, tied them to the Caucasians, made a simple trailer, threw the sleeves of the clothes at me, and asked me to use force.

I gritted my teeth and pulled it up hard. She raised her foot below and transported the Caucasians up. Then, I pulled him out of the crack of the wreckage ground along the way back.

The Tashi outside was already preparing. As soon as the Caucasians were dragged out, Tashi carried the tall Caucasians on their backs, buckled them with a belt, and then crawled down. I was so tired that I helped Aning out of the inside, and followed him with breath and protected Tashi, and then climbed down little by little.

He was useless and almost fell down several times when he saw Tashi. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and could use a dagger to fix his body. After finally climbing under the mound, the team doctor had everything ready. We put the Caucasians on the ground, and the team doctor was ready to rescue him immediately.

But as soon as he tore open the Caucasian clothes, he suddenly twitched and grabbed the team doctor's clothes. We quickly went over and held him down. The team doctor took off his coat and I felt sick. I saw that the inside of his warm coat was covered with blood, and it seemed that there was an external injury.

The team doctor cut open his underwear with scissors. When he lifted up the bloody cloth piece, he shouted: "Oh my God." At this time, I almost vomited. I saw that on the Caucasian's belly, there were tiny blood holes, and there were not much blood. The holes were very small, but dense, with only twenty or thirty.

"What kind of wound is this?" Tsashi asked.

The team doctor shook his head: "I don't know, it seems... something was tied, something like a screwdriver. But why didn't the clothes be torn? Didn't you notice it at the scene?"

We all shook our heads. In fact, we didn't notice his belly at that time, but there was no hole in his clothes. We could be sure that it wasn't because of the collapse that caused trauma.

Now we can't take care of so much. The team doctor asked us to help us hold it down, bandage him first, then simply checked it, injected something, and finally took out a small oxygen bag for him to suck. It was probably because of the effect of that needle that Caucasians slowly calmed down.

After doing this, we were already sweating all over. The team doctor wiped the sweat and asked us to find a way. This man is very weak now and we can't take him out, but the larger equipment is on the bus outside and needs to be moved in. In addition, he also needs a tent and a sleeping bag to keep him warm, so that he can only take him out after he stabilizes.

Only Tashi knew how to see his pile of stones here, so he said he would go and get it, and asked some people to come in and help. It took us a long time to walk in, but it was much faster to go out. I said I would be with him, and he said no, he was faster by himself, and I took care of him here.

After saying that, he ran away. The team doctor untied Aning's clothes on the Caucasians and gave them to her, then took out the warm cloth from the backpack to keep warm to several important parts of the Caucasians.

I lit the smokeless stove, increased the flame, put it aside, warmed a few people, and took out soy sauce. These things were all for the purpose of driving away the cold. We were sweating just now, and the nights in the Gobi Desert were quite cold and it was easy to get sick.

The fire lit up and warmed up immediately. The team doctor continued to deal with the Caucasian wounds. Aning and I retreated aside, and all the fatigue of several hours suddenly surged out. I sat on a big rock to drink water. Aning put on his clothes. We were both covered in mud and we were very embarrassed. I smiled bitterly at her, but saw her with fatigue leaning against the mound, fiddling with the intercom, and seemed quite frustrated.

I remembered her momentum just now, and thought it was really not easy. She could be so capable as a woman in that situation. I guess she would be forced out. It was a bit sad to think about a woman being so strong.

But it's strange. She doesn't seem to be short of money, and she doesn't feel happy to do such things. What exactly does she have to work hard for Jude's exam? And she's working so hard that she really can't figure it out. She has to ask her carefully if she has the chance in the future.

After drinking a few sips of water, I wanted to make it convenient, so I circled around and went to the bottom of the mound to release water. This was the case in the desert, and I got used to it.

As I was peeing, I suddenly heard a strange sneer behind the stone on one side. The sound was exactly the same as what I heard on the walkie-talkie just now, and it made me feel cold all over. I turned to look at the stone, thinking that I had been listening to this sound all the time and had hallucinations?

For more than an hour, I was listening to the resentful sneering signal all the way over. I was almost used to this sound in my mind. I suddenly became quiet in the boat, and I felt a little uncomfortable. For some reason, now I heard the same sound again in the darkness around me. I kept feeling inappropriate that sound. When I heard it, I felt very strange in my heart.

Although it may also be auditory hallucinations, it is better not to take it for granted in such a place. I zipped up the zipper, turned on the flashlight, and walked behind the stone to check.

The stones are very irregular, and I don’t know what kind of rocks it is. There are mounds here, and I don’t know where these rocks come from, so they will never grow from the ground.

The stone was pitch black and there was a blind spot that could not be seen by flashlight. I walked around and saw nothing. The gap behind the stone was very small, so it was unlikely to hide anything. I kicked the stone and found that it was not stable. I took pictures around and didn't see anything. Everything was very calm, so I thought I might have heard it wrong. Shaking my head, I walked back. Aning asked me what was wrong. I told her that it might be a little nervous and thought there was something there.

I sat back to the campfire to keep warm, and I was speechless. I leaned against the stone. I just wanted to close my eyes and rest, afraid that there would be something else I would need our help. However, fatigue came and I quickly became a little confused and didn't know when I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, but it was not very bright, as if it was early morning. At this time, the wind had completely stopped. I heard the sound of Tashi. When I got up, I saw that they were all coming in. It seemed that the camp outside had been moved in, and tents and bonfires were set up around. The Caucasians had been moved into the tent, and Aning was still resting in the sleeping bag on the side. Someone was busy all around.

I had an extra blanket on my body, and I didn't know who covered me. I struggled to get up, yawned, and looked around. At first glance, I was attracted by the scenery of wind-eroded rocks around me, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

The Devil City during the day has a very wide view, and the wind-eroded rocks around it look much more spectacular than at night. The huge mountain rocks that rise from the ground stand around us like pyramids. The rocks that look dark at night now show various strange forms, and with the infinite vastness of the Gobi Desert, this spectacular feeling cannot be described by language.

This is not the landform of adult land Yadan. If it has been tempered by one million years of wind and sand, how spectacular the scenery here will be?

I looked at it for a while before I came to my senses. I noticed that the people around me were transporting things out of the wreck of the mound. The mound I saw last night was much taller than I had seen. I laid nails and ropes on it for easier climbing, and made a hanging basket. Someone was digging it on it, and Wu Laosi picked it up and sorted it down, and the things were directly hung from the hanging basket.

The decisive master Zhuoma and her daughter-in-law cooked breakfast and butter tea. When she saw me wake up, she made a gesture to me to eat. I went over to drink a bowl of tea, took a loaf of bread, and walked to Wu Laosi while eating and asked what they were doing.

Wu Laosi heard that he was an insider and recruited Jude. He liked me a little. He nodded when he saw me coming and told me that the Caucasians were seriously injured and the team doctor was still checking the wound on his abdomen. There were signs of infection, so the team might have to go back and make plans. They didn't want to go back empty-handed, and the shipwreck was a big discovery. They wanted to record it and bring something out to inform the company.

I sat next to him and looked at the wreck above my head. It was so big! I didn't feel that it was so big at night. It looked like the ship was a regular merchant ship. The head was probably exposed after the mound collapsed before. It was placed in mid-air, and there was a support bracket underneath.

I looked down at the things they cleaned out from inside. The pots were all as big as toilets. Surprisingly, none of them were damaged. It seemed that the process of sinking the ship was very slow. The jars had patterns unique to the Western Regions, some were black patterns, and some were similar to words, and were not Han people. When I asked what this was, Wu Laosi shook his head and said that no one knew. The culture of the Western Regions was very special, very mysterious, and it was quite rare to retain. With more than 5,000 years of history in the Western Regions, so many ancient cities were buried in the yellow sand of the Gobi Desert. In the past, the Kokoxili and Takramagan were called the Western Wilderness in ancient times, and the population distribution was very sparse. It is really difficult to study now.

"However, these ancient pottery areas have been a long history. Generally, we trade in the Western Regions. These pottery jars are the products of the development of pottery to the peak, and should have been from before the Tang Dynasty. I don't know if it was transported from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, or from the Western Regions to the Arab world. This area should be the territory of the Queen Mother Kingdom, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Queen Mother Kingdom." said another person wearing glasses next to me.

Wu Laosi nodded in agreement and said, "I also feel it is very likely, look." He pointed to the pattern on a pottery jar, which was the pattern of a bird. "This is one of the legendary totems of the Queen Mother of the West, the Three Blue Birds. Of course, it is not ruled out that other countries will use it. Because the Queen Mother of the West was still the spiritual center of the Western Regions at that time, because it was strange and mysterious, even if it was no longer as powerful as the Zhou Dynasty, other countries still respected the magic of the Queen Mother of the West, and they all came to worship, or expressed worship in form."

I had no interest in this at all, and these belonged to the category of archaeology, so I interrupted them and asked, "Then what's in this jar? It shouldn't be empty, that's so wasteful."

The jars were sealed with a special mud seal, green and black, a bit like the mud seal on the wine jar. I smelled it and it smelled a little spicy and felt very familiar. After moving it, the jar was a bit heavy, and there must be something inside, but it was not liquid.

I asked them why they didn't open it? Wu Laosi said that they tried not to destroy these intacts. They would not need to open it after a while. If the things inside were more precious and could not withstand oxidation, this would save it and prevent archaeological waste.

I laughed and thought to myself that Uncle San and the others don’t have this trick. If the fat man was there, he would definitely smash it without saying anything.

But we have to respect other people's ways of doing things. After I finished my last bite of bread, I told him that you should do it first. Then find the jar and call me when it is opened. As I said that, I walked to the Caucasian tent and went to see his situation.

When I walked into the tent, I found it was very cramped. After a closer look, I found that the other two bodies had also been moved down and were lying on the side with insulation cloth. The team doctor didn't sleep for a night, his eyelids were obviously black, and he was taking the temperature of the Caucasians.

When I asked him about the situation, he told me that he was confused and nonsense, but it improved compared to before. Suffocation and hypoxia should have nothing to do with it, but the strange wound on the belly... He asked me to see the two corpses, and there were the same wounds, one in the chest and the other on the inner thigh, and there were a small amount of blood, but there were no holes in the outer garment, so I don’t know how it was produced.

I walked to the Caucasians. His face turned pale and his head was covered in sweat, but he was no longer in use of the respirator. It was obviously stable. I saw his lips moving, as if he was saying something. I listened closer, not in Chinese, but in English.

"What is he talking about?" I asked the team doctor. My English is not very good, and it's okay to talk about business, but I can't do it if I hear nonsense.

The team doctor also shook his head and said that he couldn't hear clearly, and his English was not good. However, after his consciousness was a little restored, the Caucasians kept talking about this.

I bent down and wanted to get closer to listen, but it still didn't work, so I had to give up. I walked out of the tent and wanted to go back and have a sleep. Anyway, there was nothing I had to do with me here.

When I arrived at the place where I was sleeping, I lay down and thought about what happened last night. I quickly squinted over. I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly I heard someone calling my name. I sat up in a daze and saw that there were many people around Wu Laosi, who were waving at me, as if something was wrong.

I got up and walked over. As soon as I approached them, I smelled an extremely strange smell, saying it was not smelly, but when I smelled it, I felt my throat was spicy, as if I had sucked sulfuric acid, which was very uncomfortable. I covered my nose and looked over and saw that they had found several broken jars and were smashing them. Wu Laosi asked me to see them.

More than a dozen jars had been smashed, and Wu Laosi was pouring the things inside one by one. The first thing I saw was mud shavings, which were all black dry mud shavings. Among these mud shavings, there was a kind of earth ball, which was full of mud, which was very disgusting. Strangely, I saw a lot of black hair sticking to the surface of these balls, and it looked very wrong.

There were already more than a dozen earth balls piled up on one side. I don’t know what it was. I thought to myself, could it be that the watermelons from the past have turned into stones now?
