Chapter 33: The Devil's Valley (3)
As soon as Zhang Meng saw us coming back, he couldn't wait to ask us what we had discovered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xiaopang said: "Lao Meng, you didn't dare to go when you were asked to go, you were curious when we came back, tell you, the lost camel was abducted by a big spider." ”
"Damn, you fat guy is making fun of me again, can a spider get the camel away? ”
"Look, you still don't believe it, tell you, I saw with my own eyes, the spider was bigger than the house, lying on the ground panting heavily, panting like a cow's roar. The big spider is gnawing on the camel, as soon as I saw our grandfather, he put down the camel and rushed to us, what am I fat, what the world has never seen, not to mention the big spider of the house, even the long worm of the train does not care, I am calm, there are words in the mouth, and so the spider got closer, and suddenly slapped a palm, and shook the stupid thing out of the three zhang away, the spider saw that it was not the opponent of the fat man, turned his head and ran, the fat man has the virtue of a good life, let it have a way to live. Chubby said in a colorful voice, just like the real thing.
"I see that you didn't use your palm power to shake off the spider, but to blow it away with your mouth, right? It seems that your fat guy's 'blowing' skills are improving by leaps and bounds, and you used to be able to brag about a bull or something, but now you can even blow a spider with a big house, congratulations." ”
"Where, where, over the prize, over the prize. Why?
"It's not that I don't believe it, I just think that you and that spider are old friends, how can you bear to attack that spider. ”
"You're just getting along with the spider, how can I get along with it?"
"You forgot that when you were on the way to learn the scriptures, when the four of you master and apprentice passed by the Pansi Cave, you said that you were going to subdue the demons, but in fact you ran to peek at the spider spirits taking a bath, and then the spider spirits used spider webs to fall onto the beams of the house, or your senior brother saved you. The big spider in this house is one of those spider spirits back then, what are you not getting along with it?"
"Okay, you old cute, dare to make fun of me, you're really looking for a fight. ”
"Elder Pig, quickly collect the supernatural powers......"
Xiaopang and Zhang Meng are really a pair of living treasures, and they are stinky and poor. amused everyone, even the old man Su Ziwu, who seemed to be preoccupied every day, showed a rare smile, but I noticed that Uncle Hai, who has always been bold and cheerful, was silent at this time, standing aside and looking at the ground blankly, the expression on his face was very stiff, which was very different from his previous performance.
I leaned over to Uncle Hai and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Hai, what's wrong with you?"
Uncle Hai slowly turned his head. He gave me a straight look, and after a long time, he said, "It's nothing." ”
"Oh, that's good" Seeing Uncle Hai's strange performance, I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart.
"I'm ready to hit the road, I have to get out of the Devil's Valley before it gets dark, and I can't stay in this place for long. Over there, Zhang Ziwu said to everyone.
Everyone put the panniers on the camels, because they lost another camel, plus the camels that were burned to death by the foehn on the chubby peak outside the valley. We have lost two camels and bought a total of ten camels in Melon Set. Each of the eight men had one peak, and the other two peaks were used to carry supplies and use them as backups, and now they had to divide the contents of the two camels equally among the other camels. As Chubby said, we must take good care of the camels, and we can't lose them again, if we lose them again. It will have a very negative impact on the rest of our trip.
When everything is ready, continue on the road. Although everyone talked and laughed and chatted with each other during the break, they rarely talked on the road. This is also what Su Ziwu told everyone before leaving, in the Gobi and desert, the weather is hot, and the water is easy to lose, if you talk while walking, you will feel dry after a while, and water is limited to everyone every day on the way, and water cannot be used for meaningless consumption.
In this way, we walked silently for nearly four hours. There are still patches of sandstone in front of you, and it seems that it is really not easy to get out of the Devil's Valley.
As I walked, I wondered if the strange death of the Amena camel was the work of a mutated camel spider? Although the video of the Chernobyl nuclear accident investigation report revealed that organisms do have mutations and genetic mutations after being exposed to nuclear radiation, and even a well-known animal group such as the "Chernobyl giant rat" has been affected by nuclear radiation, can a palm-sized camel spider really grow to the size of a camel after being exposed to nuclear radiation and genetic mutation? It's unbelievable indeed.
Is it an unknown creature? Just like the so-called "water monster" in Kanas Lake, it is actually a new species of salmon the size of a car that has evolved over thousands of years due to environmental influences. Or is it a primitive giant creature still alive in this inaccessible place? It is said that many ancient giant creatures are depicted on the Nazca Plateau in South America, one of which is the ancient giant spider.
I thought wildly, and walked forward again, to see that it was almost noon, the sun was overhead, like a brazier, and before we really entered the desert, we experienced the heat and dryness of the Taklamakan legend, and I didn't even sweat on my body, because as soon as I sweated, it was quickly evaporated, and people felt like a "steamer chicken" in this place, and they were made a "sauna" by their own sweat.
Although it was hot, everyone still wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes to minimize exposure of their skin to avoid sunburn. Especially me, I'm the kind of person whose skin is very sensitive to the sun, and I get a rash after a while, and after a while, I will peel off my skin, so I try not to expose my skin, but I still get a lot of rashes on my hands and face.
When passing by a sandstone in the shape of a "giant gate", Su Ziwu motioned for everyone to stop, there is a shady place under the sandstone, we can eat something in this place and rest for a while.
Everyone climbed down from the camel, they were all tired, Xiaopang opened his clothes, lay on the ground and fanned the small fan vigorously, Zhang Meng took out his water bag and drank water, I also found a place to sit down, took out the water bag to drink, Xiangzi and Amei helped Uncle Hai to sit near me.
I drank a few sips of water, inadvertently glanced at Uncle Hai, and suddenly found that Uncle Hai had a lot of brown-red, penny-sized spots on his face and arms, and said that Uncle Hai's skin is more delicate than me, and I have a rash, he has so many red spots, and he will definitely have a large area of skin after a while, and the taste is not pleasant.
After resting for a while, everyone gradually eased their fatigue, and because their mouths were really dry, they didn't talk much, and each took out dry food to eat.
Xiaopang walked towards me while biting half a naan, probably thinking of chatting with me, I saw him walking by Uncle Hai's side and inadvertently glanced at Uncle Hai, only to see him stunned for a moment, his mouth opened and closed, stunned for a second or two, his face showed a strange expression that looked like surprise and confusion, and then pretended to be okay and came to sit down next to me.
"Why was your expression so strange when you passed by Uncle Hai?" I asked Chubby in a whisper.
Chubby didn't answer my question, first he said something else, as if he was pretending to be chatting and deliberately showing it to others, and then he pulled my clothes, and I knew that Chubby was motioning for me to go to the side to talk, so he and Chubby got up and walked to the other side of the sandstone to find a corner and sit down.
"Brother Dong, have you seen those spots on Uncle Hai's body?" said Xiaopang in a low voice.
"See, what's wrong? Uncle Hai must be the same as me, he has sensitive skin, and he will definitely burst his skin in two days after two days, I don't know if Uncle Hai can stand it." ”
But Chubby shook his head: "I think it looks like ......"
Xiaopang was talking, I don't know where Zhang Meng came from, and patted me on the shoulder, startling me.
I saw Zhang Meng with his hands behind his back, looking very excited.
"Dongzi, fatty, I was lucky enough to pick up something. ”
"What else can you pick up in this place?" I asked.
"Don't tell me you picked up the big sister and held it in your hand, I don't believe it. Chubby said jokingly.
"You fat guy, talking nonsense, I'm serious, I really picked up something. As he spoke, Zhang Meng took out his hand from behind him, and Xiaopang and I looked at it, and it turned out to be a miniature camera.
"Where did you pick up the camera?" I asked.
"Over there" Zhang Meng pointed with his hand: "I went to pee behind that sandstone just now and saw such a thing on the ground." ”
"Is there anything else?" asked Chubby.
"No, it's just a camera, I don't know who fell in this place. Zhang Meng said.
I took the camera from Zhang Meng's hand and looked at it, and found that it was a disc-type camera, there was a disc box next to the camera, and the small disc could be recorded and burned with the camera when put inside, but the recording time was relatively short, that is, about half an hour, this kind of camera was popular a few years ago, and then it was replaced by disk-type and plug-in card cameras.
We all wondered, how could someone lose a camera in this place in the Gobi Desert, where the Devil's Valley is inaccessible? I don't know who has been here and what they are doing here?
"Look to see if there's a disc in there, maybe there's something recorded. "Chubby was very curious about what was in the camera, and put aside the thing about Uncle Hai that he was going to tell me just now.
I opened the camcorder's disc case, and there was a small disc in it. Since there is no rain in the Gobi all year round, although there is some dust on the disc, it is still very well preserved.
"There is a disc, but how do you play it?" I said, holding the disc and looking at it.
"I can't help it. Chubby said, taking out a Sony player from his trouser pocket, Chubby is a video audiophile, and he wears headphones on his head when he goes to the tomb, and he carries a player in his pocket at any time, his player is a high-end Sony product, which can not only insert a card, but also play high-definition DVDs.
I handed the disc to Chubby, who put the disc into the player's disc slot, and the disc was sucked in and turned in for a while before it started to play automatically. (To be continued.) )
