Dong Yong and Chen Liu hurriedly got out of the car. A drowsy face.

Korla City is located in the heart of Eurasia and Xinjiang, the northeast edge of the Tarim Basin, north of the Tianshan Mountains, the branches of the Tianshan Mountains Kuruk Mountain and Hora Mountain, and the south of the "Sea of Death" The world's second largest desert Taklamakan Desert is only 70 kilometers away.

With the influence of the western development policy in recent years, the urban construction of Korla is very beautiful and beautiful. This time, however, instead of going into the city, they found a Uighur-owned restaurant on the edge of the city. Although the restaurant is simple, it is full of Xinjiang flavor. There is not only hand-grabbed mutton, but also milk tea unique to the Uyghurs.

"The milk tea here is not bad." Zhao Rong sniffed it and tasted it curiously.

"Okay." Dong Yong responded, he looked around a lot, obviously, his mind didn't seem to be on the milk tea here, but was bent on hurrying, wanting to solve the mystery on this map as soon as possible, and then find the huge wealth left by the ancient country of Loulan as soon as possible.

An old Uyghur man sent a large plate of hand-grabbed mutton, and the price of hand-grabbed mutton here is fair, and Tong Suo is not bullied. Two hundred pieces can eat a roast leg of lamb. It tastes very good. A few of the guys quickly took back their hidden wealth to this large plate of mutton.

"This lamb is really well roasted." Zhao Rong said excitedly: "I have never eaten such delicious roast mutton." ”

"Then you can eat more." Dong Yong said with a smile.

Chen Liu, who was on the side, glanced at the two of them, and silently ate the hand-grabbed mutton on the side.

Yu Qiu suddenly asked, "Old man, is there a shortcut to the ancient city of Loulan?" ”

The Uyghur old man was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, but this road is not easy to walk." ”

"How hard is it?" Yu Qiu asked suspiciously.

"It's not a dead road." The Uyghur old man said with a smile: "It's all rugged roads, they used to be taken by camel teams, and there are many stones, I'm afraid the car will be very bumpy." ”

"It's okay." Yu Qiu said with a smile.

"When you get out of town, go left." The Uyghur old man smiled: "Don't get on the highway, if you take the highway, I'm afraid you will have to walk hundreds of kilometers more." You follow the road all the way to Yuli, and then walk along the Peacock River to the east, about 400 kilometers to get there. Seeing that you are all tourists, I guess you will be interested in the scenery on this road! ”

"That's great." Zhao Rong said excitedly: "In this way, not only can I enjoy the scenery on the road, but I can also go to the ancient country of Loulan." ”

"Loulan Ancient Kingdom?" The Uyghur old man was stunned, looked at a few people curiously, and said, "What are you doing in Loulan?" ”

"Go on an adventure." Zhao Rong grinned and said, "It's best to be able to hunt for treasures." ”

"Haha......" The old man laughed and said, "When it comes to treasure hunting, the ancient country of Loulan has indeed left a lot of legends." The mystery of the disappearance of the ancient kingdom of Loulan overnight has not been solved so far. It's just that I heard that there are a lot of mysterious rumors in the ancient city of Loulan, as well as the curse of Lop Nur, so you should not go. ”

"Why?" Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment and said, "We are on a mission to solve the mystery of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and Lop Nur." ”

"Haha, it's up to you?" The old Uyghur laughed and said, "I think it's better to forget it." ”

After speaking, the Uyghur old man turned around and entered the room on the side. Leaving a group of stunned teenagers, Yu Qiu laughed indifferently on the side. Dong Yong said suspiciously: "Does this old man know anything?" ”

"Maybe." Chen Liu's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't we go and ask him?" ”

"Zhao Rong, are you going to try it?" Dong Yong instigated Zhao Rong and said, "You are a girl's family, it is more convenient to ask, and the other party is easy to relax their vigilance." ”

"Okay." When Zhao Rong heard this, she was eager to try, and she hurriedly ran in.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Rong walked out with a shocked and frightened face. Dong Yong and Chen Liu were a little curious. The two asked suspiciously, "Zhao Rong, are you ...... What happened to you? ”

"Good, it's terrifying." Zhao Rong hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's better for us not to go to Loulan." ”

"Why?" Dong Yong hurriedly said: "It took us a lot of effort to get here, and you said you couldn't go?" Wouldn't that be a waste of so much of our time? ”

"yes, what did the old man tell you?" Chen Liu hurriedly asked.

He ...... He told me a story. Zhao Rong couldn't help but shudder when she thought of that story, and said, "A story about the ancient country of Loulan, in short, is a very terrifying story. ”

"What the hell is going on?" The two asked, and Yu Qiu was also puzzled on the side. What kind of story could have frightened this girl so much?

"According to him, twenty years ago, an archaeological team also came to Loulan and wanted to unravel the secret of Loulan...... Zhao Rong said in horror: "Later...... Later, during the archaeological period, these scientific researchers died mysteriously one after another. It is said that the ancient kingdom of Loulan used to be a prosperous country, a place where the Silk Road must pass, and then the country perished overnight, leaving behind many lonely ghosts and ghosts......"

Hearing this, Dong Yong and Chen Liu said disdainfully: "These are just deceptive tricks, do you believe it?" ”

"But...... But what he said seemed to be true. Zhao Rong hurriedly said, "I see ...... I don't think we're going. Money is important, but life is even more important! ”

"That's all a trick." Dong Yong said with a smile.

"Yes." Chen Liu said with a smile: "Now the graduation form is so severe, it is difficult to find a job, and even if you find a job, it will not cost much a month." This time, we only need to do one vote, and we can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. ”

"Yes." Dong Yong whispered: "It's so difficult to make money now, if you don't find something else, it's hard to make a lot of money." So, this time we must go. ”

Zhao Rong bit her red lip and said, "Okay." ”

Yu Qiu on the side was still leisurely eating hand-grabbed mutton, and Zhao Rong saw that he didn't have any nervousness, so she asked, "Yu Qiu, aren't you scared at all?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Yu Qiu shook his head and said, "From ancient times to the present, how many stories about ghosts have been circulated. If there are really lonely souls and wild ghosts in this world, how many people have died before, I am afraid that this world will have long pretended to be dissatisfied. ”

"Yes." Dong Yong obviously supported Yu Qiu's words.

"Come on, let's keep going." Chen Liu hurriedly said: "In such a hot weather, I am sweating all while sitting here, and I am about to be sunburned into zombies." ”

"Ahh Zhao Rong exclaimed, she glared at Chen Liu, and said, "Bastard, can't you mention these things?" Scared to death. ”

"Haha......" Chen Liu laughed.

This time, Dong Yong drove, and Yu Qiu handed over the key to Dong Yong. He and Chen Liu sat in the back row to rest. Dong Yong has been getting his driver's license for two years, and he can drive on weekdays. Driving a Toyota today, I was a little rusty at first, but after driving for a few minutes, I immediately became familiar with it. Men treat cars the same way they treat women. At the beginning, it will be covered up and subtle, but once the film is pierced, it will be unscrupulous.

The next road was relatively wide, and Dong Yong drove wildly, and the speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, they rushed out of the city, and according to the instructions of the Uyghur old man, several people walked towards the left path, which was indeed a small road, and a Toyota overbearing almost occupied most of this road. If there is a car driving from the opposite side, it is estimated that it will be stuck in this place. There is a river on the left, and a cliff about ten meters high on the right, and there is no place to let it go.

Fortunately, there are fewer pedestrians on this road. Occasionally, a few people can pass through.

"It's a tough road." Dong Yong said embarrassedly: "If you go like this, how long will it take to reach the ancient country of Loulan?" ”

"Don't worry." Zhao Rong smiled: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”

After passing the cliff, the road in front is much wider, not far away is a huge grassland, there are herdsmen grazing on the grassland, a herd of cattle and sheep, a good scenery of comfort. A few people in the car naturally couldn't feel the high temperature outside, sitting in the car, blowing the air conditioner, looking at the scenery outside with high interest. Is it holding the camera to take a few beautiful pictures?

Only, after two hours of walking on a flat road. Faced with a bumpy road again. The ground was full of rubble, the left and right sides were deserts, the ground was full of weathered stones, large and small stones were all over this hellish place, and the car would make a violent bump when it was crushed.

"There seems to be a car up ahead." Zhao Rong sat in the co-pilot, with a wide field of vision, and with sharp eyes, she immediately found an off-road vehicle not far away.

"Seems to be." Dong Yong nodded and said, "The car is broken, he will wave to us again." ”

"Stop." Zhao Rong hurriedly said.

"Don't stop." Yu Qiu shook his head and said, "Go around directly." In the middle of nowhere, who knows if there's anyone else in that guy's car? Do you want to mistreat passers-by? ”

"Yu Qiu, you're thinking too much." Zhao Rong hurriedly said: "People are also asking for help halfway, how can we see death and not save it?" Maybe they just turned off the engine and borrowed our car to light a fire! ”

Yu Qiu kept his mouth shut, if he insisted on it, they would treat him as a person with no conscience. So I won't say more.

The car stopped, and Zhao Rong hurriedly asked, "Fellow, what's wrong with you?" ”

"The car turned off and couldn't be lit, I don't know if the battery is out of power." A typical local on the other side, with a dark face, a certain felt hat, and a long robe, he smiled: "Can I borrow your car to light a fire?" ”

"Yes!" Zhao Rong readily agreed. And pulled a few people out of the car. Only Yu Qiu continued to sit in the car alone.
