Night

The moon hangs high, sprinkling the clear light, the ground is bright, and the bright moonlight makes people feel a little cold.

Although in early spring,

But in the Kunlun Mountains, there are boundless snow-capped mountains, and the temperature is still unusually low, and ordinary people can't stand it at all.

At the same time,

In China, there is a place that is diametrically opposed to this, completely relative.

Turpan,

A prefecture-level city of XJ Uygur Autonomous Region, located in the central part of the autonomous region, strategically located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, is an important transportation hub of the New Silk Road and the Eurasian Land Bridge.

But when it comes to XJ Turpan, the most famous of them is the Flame Mountain.

Flaming Mountain is the most famous attraction in Turpan, located on the edge of the Turpan Basin, the northern route of the ancient Silk Road.

At the same time, because of its unique surface environment, there is a large amount of red sand, the locals call it "Kiziltag", which means "red mountain" in Chinese.

The Flame Mountain Scenic Area, which is extremely hot during the day, is diametrically opposed at night, it seems lonely, unusually deserted, and a gust of wind blows from time to time, which makes people feel a burst of horror.

And at this time,

There was a burst of talking voices in the scenic area,

"Xiao Wang, do you really decide to leave tomorrow?

Although the environment here is not very good, the salary is still very high compared to other places.

You left suddenly, where can you make money to support your family?"

In the simple management room on the edge of the scenic spot, a middle-aged rough man in his forties and fifties looked at the young man who was packing up his clothes opposite him, and persuaded him bitterly.

"Uncle Li, don't persuade me, the environment here is not only bad, it's just bad, and you can't stay at all.

You count that I've been here for more than three months, but it hasn't rained in the middle.

During the day, the temperature is terrible, as if it is stuffed into a steamer, and at night, the temperature drops sharply, as if falling into an ice hole.

Tossing back and forth like this, who can stand it!

That's right

I want a high salary and need to support my family, but that doesn't mean I don't want to die, if my life is gone, my family of four won't survive. ”

After a while,

The young man packed his belongings and lay down on the bed casually, ready to spend his last night here.

"Uncle Li, seriously, you should hurry up and find a home, change your job, if you continue like this, your body will collapse, it's not worth it!"

After saying that,

The young man turned his head, closed his eyes, and did not say much.

"Alas~~~alas!"

When Uncle Li heard this, he also had sorrow on his face, but in the end he couldn't say anything, so he sighed heavily, and then rolled up the quilt casually and went to sleep.

He didn't want to leave here and find a new job, but it was different from Xiao Wang, he was still young, and his body was just tough.

At the age of fifty, coupled with a body that is about to collapse, no family unit will hire him.

Even if there is, his salary is extremely meager, which is not enough for the daily expenses of the family, so he has no choice but to stay and work in this harsh scenic area.

It's strange to say, three months ago, even if the temperature in the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area was very high, it was not so terrifying, and it was barely acceptable to stay in the house and turn on the air conditioner.

But

Now I don't know how to do it, it's getting hotter and hotter every day, and the temperature is getting higher and higher day by day, which is fundamentally unbearable.

At the same time, the temperature at night also looks very strange, and as the days pass, the temperature drops sharply every night.

The XJ Turpan Basin, which has a large temperature difference between day and night, is even more incisive in the Flaming Mountain Scenic Area.

The abnormal extreme temperature of hot and cold has greatly devastated the body of the management personnel of the scenic spot.

All of a sudden,

Employees left one after another, and finally a huge scenic area management department, only a few people remained.

If it weren't for the continuous support of the tourism company, as early as a month ago, the people in the scenic area management department would have gone out.

...............

"Snort... Laugh at... Snort..."

Originally, the Flame Mountain Scenic Area seemed to be unusually quiet, without the slightest sound, but at this time, several different voices came from the air.

It's like that kind of fire, suddenly encountering something that is difficult to ignite, and the sound that has been burning to me is very small, and it sounds very harsh indeed.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"What's going on, it's so hot, why is the temperature in the room so high?"

Uncle Li, who fell into a deep sleep, suddenly woke up, touched his forehead with his hand, and found that it was already covered with sweat.

Then, to his horror, he found that it was supposed to be a cold room, but at some point, the temperature became extremely high.

"Xiao Wang, something is wrong!

Uncle Li hurriedly got out of bed and woke up Xiao Wang, who was sleeping.

During the day, because of shifts and dealing with various things, Xiao Wang, who was already exhausted, once he lay in bed and fell asleep,

Out of the protection of the body, it will sleep very deadly, and it is difficult to wake up under the interference of external factors.

"What's wrong, Uncle Li?

What's going on, calling me so late?"

After Uncle Li shook the head of the bed more than ten times, Xiao Wang woke up from his sleep leisurely, and now his face was full of doubts and incomprehension.

Everyone, when falling into a deep sleep, does not like to be suddenly woken up or disturbed by others.

Because when I woke up in that moment, I felt really uncomfortable, dazed, couldn't distinguish anything, and at the same time was dizzy.

"Xiao Wang, something is wrong, the temperature in the room is too high!"

Uncle Li's tone was solemn and serious, and he woke up Xiao Wang, who had not yet woken up, and scared him to get up from the bed quickly.

"It seems like yes, the temperature is really high, much higher than yesterday. ”

Xiao Wang, who got up, stood in the open space of the room, carefully felt the temperature around him, and said slowly.

"I remember last month, when the supervisor brought someone over to check on our body, it seemed like a thermometer had been left in our room, and I went to check it out. ”

Although the body can intuitively feel that the temperature in the room is indeed very high compared to normal, Xiao Wang still wants to use the instrument to confirm it in person.

"Five degrees Celsius!"

When he saw the readings displayed on the thermometer, Xiao Wang exclaimed, he didn't expect the temperature in the room to rise so high.

You know,

The Flaming Mountain Scenic Area belongs to the XJ Turpan Basin, with a great temperature difference between day and night, although the surface temperature is very high during the day, it can reach about 80 degrees.

But at night, because the specific heat capacity of the sand is extremely low, the heat dissipation is very fast, so the temperature will be two extremes and during the day, very low, basically hovering at zero degrees or minus three or four degrees.

But now,

The temperature in the room was as high as five degrees Celsius, and looking at the thermometer gauge, the temperature was still rising.
