Chen Ping'an picked up a rock and then knocked it into a rock chip, which had a scraping blade.

Chen Ping'an used rock chips to peel the skin of Cistanche.

After the cistanche peeled off the skin, Chen Ping'an took a bite.

Chen Ping'an said, "It's a little bitter, there is a lot of water, it's okay." ”

Ate a stick of cistanche.

Two more were tucked into the backpack.

"It's so cold, I've got to figure it out. Chen Ping'an said.

The temperature has dropped below freezing.

The clothes worn by Chen Ping'an. A T-shirt with a sun-protective garment over it and a pair of quick-drying pants underneath. All are light and breathable.

His fingers had become stiff, his whole body trembled, and his breath was condensed into mist.

"I've got to find a way to make a fire. Chen Ping'an said.

I just picked up a poplar wood, a straight poplar branch, and I knew it would be useful now.

Chen Ping'an collected dead branches of the Suosuo tree in the surroundings.

Chen Ping'an took off his shoes.

There is a ball of foam where the ankle of the shoe is flaid.

Chen Ping'an cut the shoes with rock chips and tore out the foam, which is an excellent flannel.

Then untie your shoelaces.

Make a bow drill.

Sharpen the branches with rock chips.

Cut a groove in the poplar wood.

"I'm going to use these tools to make a fire, the bow drill rotates, the sharpened branches rub against the base, the friction generates heat, and the sparks will fall on this platform, and the foam will take on the sparks, and the foam will ignite, and then you can make a fire. "Chen Ping'an.

In the desert, everything is dry.

It took Chen Ping'an an an hour to build a fire.

Chen Ping'an kept adding twigs to the fire.

The red flame illuminated Chen Ping'an's face and warmed Chen Ping'an's body.

After 2 hours.

The fire was extinguished.

Chen Ping'an is also ready to move on.

……

Chen Ping'an looked at the time.

Zero at 3:30.

In the sky, the moonlight is soft, sprinkled on the ground, like a dream. The stars are very sparse. The brightest star in the sky, the morning star.

Suddenly, Chen Ping'an felt a stir under his feet. A stumble.

Waiting for Chen Ping'an to stand still, he looked back. There was a dried corpse on the ground. The dried corpse had been dead for so long that it had almost become part of the desert.

The corpse's hands were crooked, with blackened, withered flesh attached to them, and a watch was worn on the wrist. The surface of the watch is facing up, the watch is very old, the surface is covered by dust, Chen Ping'an gently wiped the dust with his hand, the watch hand has stopped turning, and there is a sign with five open fingers in the dial.

Live room.

"The anchor is about to start surging again. ”

"I don't think this corpse is scary at all. It's the exposed hand that oozes me. ”

"The dried corpses are being picked up, and they have almost become part of the desert, so I don't feel scary. ”

……

Many people will pay more attention to the watch worn by the dry corpse.

"It's a Rolex watch,。。。。 Rolex's earliest emblem is a palm with five fingers outstretched, indicating that it was carved entirely by hand,。。。 Bubble back type, Rolex's classic masterpiece, until today, 'bubble back' is still the favorite collection of many collectors, the green water ghost I wear in my hand, 70,000 Mao Grandpa started, however, this watch that looks old can buy dozens of green water ghosts. "There are people playing with watches in the live broadcast room, and the three mountains and one ditch introduce this watch like a few treasures.

"Some time ago, at the spring auction of Poly Auction House, I saw the auction of a bubble back, which was similar to this one, and the transaction price was 2.2 million at that time. "The empty city misses the old.

"Poverty limits my imagination. ”

……

Chen Ping'an's attention was taken away from his watch.

The clothes on the corpse's body were somewhat rotten and wrapped.

Chen Ping'an's hand reached into the pocket of his clothes. Pull out a notebook. Laptop leather cover.

Chen Ping'an gently opened the notebook, and the paper was a little yellow and decayed. The paper was written in English with dense words, and the handwriting was a little sloppy. It's very casual to write.

Chen Ping'an sat next to the cadre, took out his mobile phone, and read the notebook by the light of the mobile phone screen.

The owner of the notes, John Clettomont.

Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Fellow of the British Explorers Society.

Geographer.

Explorer.

Historian.

Archaeologist.

...…

Very knowledgeable.

From the 15th century to the 17th century, it was the Age of Discovery.

Because of colonization and trade, Westerners discovered various continents through navigation and established colonial bases on the coasts of the continents.

The hinterland of the continent is still unknown to Westerners.

Out of curiosity and curiosity, explorers, geographers, and missionaries from the West went deep into the hinterland of the continent to explore.

For example, a famous explorer, David Livingstone, was a Scottish physician and missionary. He ventured into the heart of Africa, gradually filling many of the gaps in the map of Africa.

Around the 19th century, China's great northwest was unknown to many Westerners.

John Clettomont is also a Livingstone-esque figure.

The first five pages of the notebook gave Chen Ping'an an an insight into the person of John Clettomon.

Chen Ping'an flipped to page 6 of the notebook.

From India, Cletomont crossed the Palmie Plateau and entered the great northwest of China.

On July 8, 1937, as soon as I learned the news, just yesterday, the Japanese \1st Army provoked the Lugou Bridge Incident near Beiping, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out in full force.

July 10th.

I entered Lop Nur from Ruo\1 Qiang on an expedition.

......

Chen Ping'an flipped to page 7 of the notebook.

July 16th.

I saw some dry tree trunks in the desert, and shells, snail shells, were exposed in the ravines, and when I stepped on them with leather shoes, the shells were crisply shattered. These are signs that the land was once an oasis.

July 17th.

I found a couple of wooden houses in the desert. I stopped to study the houses.

July 19th.

I took a shovel and kept digging, and dug up a few ancient Chinese coins, a few iron axes, and a few wood carvings. I became extremely excited. I conclude that this is a very important ancient city site. I can't wait to dig it out on a large scale. Unfortunately, I had to end the expedition immediately, because there was not much water and food on the camels.

Chen Ping'an turned the page.

July 20th.

I had a sandstorm. The sandstorm almost buried me, and when I crawled out of the sand after the sandstorm, I found myself disoriented.

This line of writing, the handwriting is even more sloppy and messy, and you can imagine the anxiety in John Clettomont's heart at that time.

July 21.

Get lost，。。。。。。

He didn't take long notes anymore, just disorientation, and the punctuation marks that followed meant he realized that the disorientation had continued.

July 22nd.

Get lost。。。。。。 There is no water left.

The note was equally short, disorienting, followed by an extra sentence, which was already out of water.

July 23rd.

Killed the camels. Camels have water in their stomachs.

The note is a short two sentences.

July 24th.

It's over, I'm going to die, the last moment of my life,。。。。。

That's it for the notes.

At the end of the note, a string of punctuation.

It's helpless.

Nostalgia for life.

Yanjing.

Yuan Zhou, who studied in the United States in the 90s, is now an executive of a multinational company with assets of tens of billions of dollars and annual revenues of billions of dollars.

Yuan Zhou was also watching Chen Ping'an's live broadcast.

The live broadcast screen is to share Chen Ping'an's vision.

Of course, the sailors in the live broadcast room can also see the English text on the notebook.

When he saw the name John Clertomont in his notebook, it flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.

The company he works for is an American-style family business.

In the list of major shareholders of the company, you can see a series of suffixes with the name of Clettomont.

In the morning, I read the signing of the new book list No. 9.

However, out of two brushes instantly pushed me to 11.

Your sister's.

The brush or something is the most disgusting. Junk books, do you need to brush the list?

Roll in the mud pond and ask for a collection and recommend a ticket!!
