Chapter Twenty-Eight: Arrival in Xinjiang (Optional)

"Goo, Captain Chu, is it dead?" Gava swallowed as she looked at the big salamander with gunsmoke in her mouth. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chu Nan kicked it twice, but there was no reaction at all, it was obvious that it was too dead to die anymore.

Everyone who escaped the catastrophe cheered one after another, and even Shirley Yang, who had been cold-faced, inadvertently showed a smile, although Chu Nan didn't want to admit it, but Shirley Yang did have a unique smile when he smiled.

"Okay, everyone's alright, right?"

Everyone nodded one after another, especially the youngest Gawa, who escaped death twice and nodded excitedly.

And Hu Bayi was slapped by the salamander's tail just now, and he was a little shocked, but fortunately, there was no big problem.

He walked over and patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, everything was silent. It's just that the trembling muscles on his face tell everyone that his mood is not as calm as it seems at the moment.

In order to prevent another monster from coming out of nowhere, it is better to go back as soon as possible. So, Chu Nan waved his hand:

"Okay, let's go back. ”

On the way back, Chu Nan became the most focused figure and enjoyed the treatment of a hero.

Truth be told, the feeling is addictive.

"Captain, I thought I'd never see you again. ”

"Don't worry, just a ladybug, I was scared away by three or two blows. ”

"You're amazing, Captain. Gava showed a look of admiration, "By the way, captain, where is the knife you used to save me just now? Why didn't I see it?"

Chu Nan looked at his simple clothes and was embarrassed, he couldn't say that he hid the knife in his underwear, right?

"Ahem, it's a secret. ”

Gava touched her head and looked embarrassed, "Then I won't ask." ”

Unexpectedly, Shirley Yang, who had always been at odds with Chu Nan, actually spoke:

"I heard that in ancient times, there was a clever 'hidden blade technique', which could hide the blade close to the body without being seen, and most of the people who could master this move were clever assassins. ”

"Assassins?"

Obviously, Shirley Yang's words attracted a lot of people, especially a few young people, who were yearning, who didn't have a chivalrous dream of fighting swords and rivers and lakes when they were young? Even Hu Bayi, who was walking in the head, listened with his ears open.

"Surprise it, attack it unprepared!" In the end, Hu Bayi lightly spit out eight words, and at the same time, he also made up Chu Nan's "special troops".

In this regard, what else can Chu Nan say, he has been classified into the assassin camp!

But how do I remember that I've always been on the Mage route?

--------

On the train to Urumqi, Professor Chen called Chu Nan and the others to a meeting again.

Shirley Yang pulled out a map and spread it out in front of everyone, with traces of her colored pen circles, and in the vast desert diagram, there was a clear zigzag red line.

This should be the road map, right?

Sure enough, as soon as Chu Nan had this idea, Shirley Yang over there spoke:

"I have discussed with the professor that we plan to start from Bosten Lake, go south to find the ancient Peacock River, and then enter the desert through the ancient Peacock River, and go south along the Ziduyan River to find the ruins of the exquisite ancient city, we would like to ask for your opinions. ”

Chu Nan didn't understand the desert march, so he didn't have any constructive opinions, but Hu Bayi understood, looking at his disdain hidden in the depths, Chu Nan knew that Hu Bayi had probably scolded his mother.

In fact, Chu Nan guessed correctly, Hu Bayi did scold in his heart. These intellectuals and wealthy people are whimsical on paper, and this is tantamount to going around in circles in the desert Gobi, and how can anyone dare to take a Z-shaped route in the desert, even if they don't die of thirst, starvation, and sunburn, they will die of exhaustion in the end.

In fact, Lao Hu has always thought that these people belong to those who have more money to burn, who are full of food, and who have a good life, but they have to go to the desert to suffer, and they will not spend two or three days, so they have to cry and shout back.

So in his eyes, it doesn't matter what course is formulated.

Chu Nan spoke directly: "Miss Yang, although I am the captain, to put it bluntly, I am a bodyguard, I am not qualified to participate in the decision on the arrangement of the travel route, you have determined the route and goal, and I am responsible for leading everyone to the place safely." And I don't have desert marching-level experience, so you can listen to Lao Hu's opinion, he has been in the desert for exercises. ”

It's good to die, Professor Chen and Shirley Yang immediately set their eyes on Hu Bayi.

"Comrade Xiaohu, if you have any ideas, you can boldly say them, let's refer to them together. ”

Seeing that Chu Nan was in trouble, Lao Hu secretly said that Chu Nan was not righteous, but he just ate the king's fortune and bear the king's worries, and he had to do things after taking the money.

Although Lao Hu was dismissive of Shirley Yang's map, he had to look at it twice, and in the end, he made only one suggestion:

"No matter how much we plan, it's just on paper, and if we have to go into the desert, we have to find a guide who knows the local situation, preferably someone who knows the desert. At this, he glanced at the map again, and pointed: "Sometimes experience is more reliable than professional!"

At this time, Chu Nan secretly glanced at Shirley Yang, and it was obvious that her face was very unsightly.

。。。。。

Two days later, the group arrived at an unnamed town on the edge of the desert, where they were warmly received by local government staff, and finally, based on the information they provided, the archaeological team also identified the guide of the trip, Anliman.

According to the section chief who received them, the local children knew that there were three things to bring with them to the desert - water, camels, and Anlim. Anliman means living map in the desert in the Uyghur language.

It turned out that this An Liman was still a celebrity, when he was in his twenties, he came to Xinjiang Branch, once encountered a sandstorm in the desert, it was a camel that saved his life, and from then on, this camel is his life, a camel to the present.

However, when several people asked about An Liman's whereabouts, the section chief began to hesitate, flickering, and only said that they should go to the police station to find it.

It turns out that since the discovery of the Xiaohe tomb group in Loulan, Xinjiang, people seem to have suddenly woken up to the fact that in the great desert of Xinjiang, the once glorious Silk Road, the 36 countries of the Western Regions along the Peacock River, Huhu, Loulan, Milan, Niya, Luntai, Pu, Gumo, and Xiye...... The paradise of adventurers, I don't know how much treasure and prosperity are covered by the vast yellow sand.

For a time, countless expeditions, archaeological teams, and tomb robbers rushed into the Taklamakan Desert in search of treasure.

And this An Liman is also a person with a lively mind, often as a tour guide for those outsiders, a while ago, he took a group of foreigners into the desert without permission, and I heard that the deposit alone is not young and old. However, he was the only one who came back a few days later, and the police officers called him for questioning when they were suspicious, but he did not know anything about the whereabouts of the group of foreigners.

Everyone also knows that although everyone is equal, in the eyes of some people in power, there is a class order, which is the so-called: first-class foreigners, second-class officials, third-class young people, and fourth-class men!

So in the face of this kind of problem, which is easy to cause diplomatic incidents, the police station personnel directly detained An Liman, and even his camel was confiscated by the police station.

In the end, based on the documents brought by the archaeological team, the police department agreed to meet with An Liman, but as for whether An Liman was willing to accept the employment, it was up to the archaeological team to negotiate.
