In the Gobi in the northwest, after the sun sets, the temperature drops quickly, and everyone gradually feels the slightest coolness.

After an hour of eating and drinking, everyone was full of wine and food, and they were ready to rest.

After cleaning up the cooking utensils, Qiao Shan called everyone for a short meeting.

"At night, two people should be arranged to take turns on duty, and it is not too safe in the field. Brother An and I are on duty in the first half of the night tonight, and the two of you are in charge of the second half of the night. Qiao Shan pointed to the two men he had brought.

Qiao Shan continued: "One person can sleep in the back of each car, Brother An and I will sleep in the car, and you can arrange the tent yourself." ”

Li Dongwen glanced at Zhou Daoping, "Xiao Zhou, you can sleep in the car." ”

Li Xianqiong bought a tent, apparently planning to camp in the wild.

Several younger brothers got into the tent and went to sleep, Li Dongwen and Li Xianqiong were not sleepy, so they chatted with Xie Anping Qiao Shan around the charcoal fire.

Xie Anping: "The mutton fat white jade in Tianzhou has been famous all over the world for thousands of years, and it is much better than the jade in Myanmar. ”

Qiao Shan: "There are some on Tianzhou Street, don't pick your eyes." ”

Xie Anping: "It makes sense to dig it yourself, Boss Li, Master Li, you must help us give us good guidance." ”

This is the second time Xie Anping has said this, and Qiao Shan didn't care. He prefers to believe that jade is fate, and many jade pickers enter the mountain every year, and many people return empty-handed.

Qiao Shan: "Today we have walked out of Qilian Mountain, and here is already on the edge of Kunlun Mountain. Both Qilian Mountain and Kunlun Mountain produce jade, but Kunlun Mountain is larger and jade is more famous. ”

Xie Anping: "Kunlun Mountain, the legend is the ancestor of ten thousand mountains, that is a sacred mountain, but also a fairy mountain, there were immortals in the past. ”

Qiao Shan: "There are too many legends of Kunlun Mountain. The Xiongnu and Qiang people in the Western Han Dynasty all believed in the Kunlun God, and there are still many ethnic minorities who still believe in the Kunlun God. Legend has it that in addition to the gods, there are also many demons and monsters in this mountain. ”

Xie Anping glanced at Li Dongwen and said: "In the "Fengshen List", there is Jiang Taigong here, and the gods abdicate. Now that Master Li is here, all the demons and monsters have to retreat. ”

Li Dongwen glanced at Xie Anping, "Is it really good for you ordinary people to talk about immortals so unashamedly? Isn't your government an atheist? How did you educate you since you were a child?

Li Dongwen didn't bother to discuss this topic with them, so he said, "It's not early, let's go back and rest first." ”

Li Dongwen took Li Xianqiong to get up, and was just about to walk back, when he suddenly felt a little strange, as if he was being targeted by something.

He let out a sweep of his senses, and in the distance, another group of green eyes were quietly approaching here.

This is a pack of wolves?

Li Dongwen said to Li Xianqiong: "I'll go for convenience, you go back to the tent first." ”

Li Xianqiong said: "I want to go too." ”

You're not adding to the chaos.

Li Dongwen was helpless, pulled Li Xianqiong, and walked in the direction of the wolves.

The two of them flashlights walked more than a hundred meters before stopping.

Li Dongwen said: "You have a flashlight, it's convenient here, I'll go to the front and take a look." ”

Li Xianqiong: "Don't go far, I'm afraid." ”

Li Dongwen walked seven or eight meters away, and stood there waiting, staring ahead.

Li Xianqiong squatted there, shaking Li Dongwen with a flashlight, and suddenly screamed: "The wolf is coming!"

A group of green wolves, more than twenty horses, were confronting Li Dongwen.

Li Xianqiong shouted, and Li Dongwen slightly exuded some murderous aura. The leading green wolf raised his head, let out a low roar, and began to retreat with the wolves, then turned around and ran.

Qiao Shan and Xie Anping heard the shouting, and one of them carried a shotgun and ran over.

The shotgun has been placed on the car, just in case, and it seems that it is really used.

When the two of them came running, they found the wolves turning around and running away. Xie Anping raised his gun, and just wanted to make a shot, but was stopped by Qiao Shan next to him, "Let them go." ”

Li Xianqiong also rushed over at this time, "Where is the wolf?"

Li Dongwen pointed into the distance: "I was scared away by you." ”

Qiao Shan: "The wolf's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it seems that he was attracted to dinner. However, it is not often to run away like this, and it must have sensed some danger. Maybe there's a beast nearby, so it looks like you won't have to sleep tonight. ”

Li Dongwen smiled faintly: "Do you like to sleep or not, let's go, let's go back to sleep." ”

Early the next morning, Li Dongwen and Li Xianqiong climbed out of the tent and found that Xie Anping, Qiao Shan and others had already built a charcoal fire and were preparing breakfast.

These people obviously didn't sleep well, their eyes were red, and the dark circles under their eyes came out.

Li Dongwen brought two bottles of mineral water, washed up briefly with Li Xianqiong, and came over for breakfast.

Obviously, everyone knows that a wolf came last night.

At breakfast, Qiao Shan said: "Today's journey is not short, there are nearly 1,000 kilometers, we strive to arrive in Tianzhou before dark, lunch on the car to nibble on some fruit and dry food, to Tianzhou and then repair." ”

After a light breakfast, the convoy continued on its way.

On this day, the road was all along the southern edge of the Tarim Basin, all the way to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

On the south side of the road, the green hills are verdant, while on the north side are the Gobi and yellow sand. A road that divides the two colors of the earth.

In the evening, when approaching Tianzhou, on an uphill section, the convoy encountered a group of blatant robbers.

The group of robbers, wielding strips of colorful rags in their hands, wearing tattered old clothes, and a little dirty, the oldest was less than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was only four or five years old, and they were still stumbling when they walked.

The convoy quickly stopped, and Qiao Shan, who was the first to start, quickly got out of the car, took a large bag of candy from the car, and some fruits, cucumbers, tomatoes and a few bottles of canned food, and distributed them to the group of "little robbers".

The little guys got the "toll" and immediately let the convoy go.

There are few vehicles on this road, and it is not known how long they will have to wait for the next "robbery".

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the convoy finally entered Tianzhou City.

The guide hired by the team has already booked a hotel to stay and is waiting here.

Qiao Shan introduced to everyone: "This is Mark Kuyi, we all call him Mark, a local, and he will be our guide for the next few days." ”

Li Dongwen glanced at it, a man in his forties, not tall, very strong, dry skin, red and black, and the traces of time and climate were imprinted on this face.

While having dinner, Li Xianqiong couldn't help but ask what was going on with the robbing children.

Qiao Shan glanced at Mark, "Mark, why don't you talk about it?"

Mark's face seemed to be a little redder, so he said, "It's all poor children in the countryside, it's good to give some food, if you don't give it, it will be very troublesome." ”

What the specific trouble, Mark didn't say.
