After watching the video, Xiaopang scolded: "Damn, is it 'ghost hitting the wall'? The dog is beyond his strength and bullied the fat man." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" said, rounded his arm and slammed the camera onto the sandstone, and the camera suddenly fell apart.

Chubby took out the disc from the Sony player again, broke the disc in half, slammed it to the ground, stomped it with his foot, and said, "Little girl, I'll see who is angry." Then he spat a few more mouthfuls of foam, and then he was relieved.

Zhang Meng also joined in, and went over to grind the broken disc on the ground with his foot, while learning from the girl in the video and saying, "I'm angry with you, I'm angry with you." ”

I secretly laughed in my heart: "As the saying goes, 'gods and ghosts are afraid of wicked people', even if they are ghosts, it is okay to meet people like Xiaopang and Zhang Meng, the two of them can ward off evil spirits." ”

"This Devil's Valley is indeed very evil, so it's better to leave as soon as possible. Lao Zhang said.

"Hurry overnight tonight to avoid trouble. Su Ziwu also said.

Everyone nodded, got on their camels, and hurried away.

The night in the Gobi is very cold, everyone is wrapped tightly on the camels, there are countless stars in the sky, the moonlight is very bright, the illuminated ground and sandstone statues are sprinkled with a layer of silver sand, the night wind blows very tightly, blowing the sandstone makes a "whining" sound, as if countless wild beasts are howling.

Maybe it's really the reason why "gods and ghosts are afraid of the wicked", there were no more accidents this night, and when the day was almost dawn, we finally walked out of the Devil's Valley.

After leaving the Devil's Valley, you will see the endless Taklamakan Desert, with sand dunes stretching like hills. Everyone was tired from the night's walk, but fortunately, the wind had stopped after entering the desert, and as the sun began to rise, it gradually became warmer, so we discussed finding a place to rest first.

Su Ziwu took us to a large sand dune and told us that we had to choose the front of the sand dune when camping in the desert. It is also known as the "sunny slope", because there will be sandstorms in the desert at any time, and you can see the direction of the wind in the season from the direction of the dunes. All of a sudden, you will be buried in the sand dunes, and it will be like encountering an avalanche on a snowy mountain.

Su Ziwu chose a camping site, everyone got off the camel, Su Ziwu arranged for me and Lao Zhang to help him feed the camel, and Zhang Meng and Xiaopang were responsible for building the sand umbrella.

A sand umbrella is a tent-like thing used exclusively in the desert, it has specially shaped feet on three sides that can be fixed in the sand, and one side is something like an upside-down sail. In the desert, it can not only shade the sun, but also prevent the wind, and can resist sandstorms above the intermediate level, which Su Ziwu asked us to buy in the melon collection before. According to Su Ziwu, don't look at the temperature at this time of the morning, but as soon as it passes seven or eight o'clock, the sun becomes poisonous, and people can't stand resting on the sand dunes. A sand umbrella must be put on.

The camels are very thirsty and hungry and are well fed and drunk before setting off. In the desert, only a small amount of water is fed every once in a while to keep the camel strong, but even if it is not fed, the camel can last for more than ten days.

After everything was ready, everyone was really tired, and they fell asleep under the sand umbrella one by one. Because there are no wild beasts to encounter in the desert. The only possible threat is sandstorms, and the protection of sand umbrellas and the early warning of camels are sufficient, so there is no need to arrange people to take turns on duty as they do outside the desert.

Everyone slept soundly and didn't wake up until noon. When I woke up, I got some dry food and ate it indiscriminately, drank some water to moisten my throat, and then packed up my things and went on the road.

The journey in the desert is arduous and boring, at first people like me and Xiaopang and Zhang Meng who have never been deep in the desert still find it very exciting and interesting, but after a long time, it feels boring, with only endless yellow sand and nowhere to hide from the heat.

In this way, we traveled in the desert for eleven days, and during these eleven days, we encountered two sandstorms, but fortunately we had the experienced Su Ziwu as a guide, so that we were able to save the day. I sometimes feel that the old man Su Ziwu was arranged by God to help us, and if it weren't for him, even if we hadn't encountered a sandstorm, we would have been lost in the sea of sand a long time ago. Just like Cheng Jiao said, in a special environment, the ancient method is much safer and more practical than modern equipment, this is not wrong at all, since out of the Devil's Valley, GPS has failed, there is no signal to search at all, other positioning and identification direction and communication equipment in the depths of the desert have all become furnishings and cumbersome, not useful at all, we rely on Su Ziwu when he was young in the desert to learn an ancient method of positioning and calculating distance - stargazing positioning and sand map.

At night, Su Ziwu observes the position of the constellation and the daily offset, and then uses the sand chart to determine the direction we are in, the direction we want to travel and the distance we have traveled. During the day, we observe the direction of the sand dunes and determine the direction we want to move in with the sand map.

A sand chart is something that sounds mysterious, but it looks simple and complex to apply. In fact, it is not a picture, but some wooden sticks, Su Ziwu put these wooden sticks on the ground according to the direction of the constellation or the direction of the sand dunes into some special geometric figures, through the angle in these geometric figures, the distance between the wooden sticks can calculate the direction and coordinates and other information. According to Su Ziwu, there are very few people who can place sand charts now, this method is very old but very practical, and the accuracy is very high, but it is difficult to master, and it takes years of practice and experience to master this method.

In this way, Su Ziwu used stargazing positioning and sand map to determine the direction and distance, and at the same time determined the route with reference to the route map of the Loulan handscroll drawn by Xiangzi on the notebook with his memory, and on the twelfth day, we came to a place.

"Everyone, stop!" Su Ziwu, who was on the camel in front, waved his hand and shouted. Everyone took the camels with them.

"What's the matter, Old Su?" asked Chubby.

"According to my calculations, Sun Mound should be in this place. ”

"Right here?" Xiao Fat looked around: "Old Su, you're not mistaken, right? There is a sun with a big grinding plate, and there are countless sand dunes here, but it seems to be no different from other places, why can't I see that this is the sun hill?"

"That's right, Mr. Su. As you heard before, when you were young, the Sun Hill was surrounded by a lot of black stones, surrounded by black stones, and there were radiations of black stones, like the sun, which was very spectacular as far as the eye could see. But this place doesn't have the sight you say, are you sure this is the Sun Hill?" I said.

Su Ziwu was also a little suspicious of himself, took out the map map of the Loulan handscroll drawn by Xiangzi and looked at it carefully, thought about it for a while, and said affirmatively: "That's right, this is the location of Sun Hill." ”

"Then how is it different from the Sun Mound you saw when you were young? It can't be that the Sun Mound you visited when you were young and the Sun Mound in Loulan's handscroll are not the same place, right?" Zhang Meng said suspiciously, looking around.

Su Ziwu shook his head, unable to figure out what was going on.

"I see people looking around separately, it's a big area. Maybe Mr. Su's calculation is slightly different from the actual location, and the range of calculation is in this place, but the exact location of the sun mound is not here, it may be somewhere nearby, or it may be blocked by the sand dunes. Lao Zhang said.

It is not unreasonable for everyone to listen to what Lao Zhang said, the sand dunes in the desert rise and fall one after another, and the terrain is also uneven, and it is indeed possible to be blocked by some large sand dunes. So they decided to go their separate ways to find it, and let Su Ziwu wait for us in the same place. Xiaopang gave Su Ziwu a two-barreled letter cannon, which was also purchased in the melon collection, in order to be easy to contact once separated in the desert, as long as the rope behind the letter cannon was pulled when needed, a bright signal flare could be fired in the barrel and launched into the air hundreds of meters. Then it exploded in the air, and it could be seen and heard for miles.

Everyone agreed that no matter whether they found Sun Mound or not, as soon as they saw the signal flare launched by Su Ziwu, they would return to the same place in the direction of the signal flare. so as not to get lost.

After the agreement, I, Zhang Meng, Xiaopang, and Lao Zhang each went in one direction to find the Sun Mound.

It is actually a very dangerous thing to act alone in the desert, it is said that Pengamu disappeared because his expedition ran out of the water he carried, and he went alone to find the water source, although in addition to this statement, there are all kinds of bizarre theories, such as Pengamu has calculated the specific location of the ancient city of the sun, he went to the ancient city of the sun, and he was bought by abroad, defected to a foreign country, etc., although these claims are untenable, his disappearance is still an unsolved mystery, but from various expeditions, In the case of missing persons on expeditions, solo action is a very high proportion of the reasons for missing or killed.

If it weren't for the fact that we were trying to find Sun Mound as soon as possible, we wouldn't have dispersed our actions, so everyone was extra careful, and even if we agreed to see Su Ziwu's signal flare return to the original place, we would try our best to write down the direction and route of walking in our hearts.

I walked towards the south and looked for the sun mound, climbed to a high sand dune and looked to the south, the sand dunes were endless, but I didn't see the shadows of the black stones that Su Ziwu said, and thought that maybe it was blocked by the bigger sand dunes in front of me, so I continued to look ahead.

In this way, I climbed over and over dunes, and was already a long way from where we had set off, but there was no sign of the Sun Mound. I don't know what the situation is on Zhang Meng, Xiaopang, and Lao Zhang.

Just as I was looking around for the Sun Mound, I heard a cannon behind me, and when I looked back, there was a flash of light in the sky, followed by two more points of light in the air, and then another cannon sounded, knowing that it was Su Ziwu's signal, and summoned us back.

I said in my heart why did Su Ziwu send a signal so quickly, according to the agreement, it should be transmitted in half an hour, and less than twenty minutes have passed, could it be that someone has already discovered Sun Mound?

While thinking, I walked back in the direction of the signal flare, and after walking for a while, I saw a three-peaked camel standing on the sand dune in front of me, and on the camel were Xiaopang, Lao Zhang and Zhang Meng.

When I came closer, I saw that the expressions of the three of them were very strange, and I found that Su Ziwu was not with them.

"Did you come back before me?Did anyone find Sun Mound??," I asked.

Xiaopang frowned and shook his head: "Brother Dong, we haven't found Sun Hill. ”

"Then why did Mr. Su send out a signal flare, where did the others go?"

"This, we also have the same question, I also thought that someone found the Sun Mound, but when I came back, I only saw Lao Zhang and Zhang Meng, and I didn't see Lao Su, Lao Zhang and Zhang Meng said that they didn't find the Sun Mound either, and I don't know why Lao Su sent a signal. ”

Zhang Meng shook his head, looking dazed, it seemed that he was also the same as Xiaopang.

Lao Zhang added: "I was the first to come back here after seeing the signal flare, but I didn't see Mr. Su either, I thought I was in the wrong place, and when I was suspicious, I saw Wang Yu and Zhang Meng coming from the other two directions." ”

After listening to the little fat and their stories, I looked around, and there was no movement except for the four of us and the sun like a furnace above us.

We all wondered where Su Ziwu had gone after sending the flares, could it be that he had disappeared mysteriously like Pengamu who was looking for the Ancient City of the Sun, or had he disappeared inexplicably like the mysterious Sun Hill? )
