Xu Nianran was pressed under Ryan, listening to the wind whistling in his ears, listening to his and Ryan's heartbeats, and didn't dare to move.

Breathing hard, her face pressed against the fine gravel floor, she covered her ears and waited for the two whirlwinds to leave.

It wasn't until the two whirlwinds disappeared behind the mountain on the other side that Ryan straightened up and made sure that there was no danger, so he pulled Xu Nianran up.

It was already dusk and visibility was low, and the two sat on the ground, waiting for the wind to blow some of the dust away.

"Your face is scratched." Ryan raised his hand and touched Xu Nianran's face.

Xu Nianran rubbed the back of her hand, her cheekbones were scratched by the broken stones on the ground, she shook her head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I had a nosebleed the day before yesterday, so I was embarrassed." ”

“…… In the face of life, face is the most useless thing, there are many people who give up their lives for face, you don't have to keep face and self-esteem here, Chen Youfei is not here, he can't see it. Ryan snorted.

"What does it have to do with Brother Fei?" Xu Nianran was puzzled.

When Ryan heard this, he was in a good mood, and nodded: "Well, that's right, it has nothing to do with Chen Youfei, what we do here, his fool who guards the 'national interest', will not understand." ”

"Don't speak ill of him." Xu Nianran frowned.

"Okay, don't say it." Ryan rolled his eyes and whispered, "{One + Ben} read} novel YBDU doesn't know who is taking care of you...... Should I collect protection money from Chen and Fei? ”

“…… That's not what the word protection money means...... You still haven't learned Chinese to the bone! Xu Nianran smiled and pushed away his protection, turned around and stood up.

The surroundings were dim and the visibility was not high, Xu Nianran took a look, and faintly found that there was some unusual scene on the side where the whirlwind disappeared.

"Ryan, take a look, is there a shadow over there?" Xu Nianran tugged at Ryan's collar.

Ryan got up and looked over there, surrounded by two mountains, one in the middle, which looked like a screen.

"Let's go, it looks like the wind is here to meet you." Ryan patted the dust on his body and then the dust on his head, both of them gray and dirty.

Wangshan ran a dead horse, Wangshan ran a dead man, Xu Nianran once again experienced this painful process.

Looking at the distant hills, I walked for a long time to reach the foot of the mountain, and there was no way to enter the two cols, so I could only climb the screen-like mountainside again.

At the back of the mountain, there is a small basin surrounded by several hills.

In the middle of the basin, there are ruins half buried by yellow sand, and on the surrounding hills, there are fragments of excavated mountain roads, and there is a platform on the halfway up the mountain, behind the platform, is a dilapidated palace gate.

It is said to be dilapidated, but in fact, it is covered by yellow sand at the top, and the whole picture cannot be seen clearly.

Xu Nianran looked at this small city in shock, Ryan whistled and said, "It's very well preserved here, and it seems that there are a lot of good things." ”

He had long been accustomed to historical sites, but Xu Nianran was irrepressibly excited.

"Ryan, Ryan, is this the place?" She tugged at Ryan and excitedly pointed to the palace on the opposite mountainside.

Ryan rolled his eyes, "I don't have a map, I don't know if it's here, I should ask you, don't you feel familiar at all?" ”

"I have dreamed of the howling wind, the sound of camel bells, the sound of flags flying away, and the interior of the palace." Xu Nianran said hurriedly, pulling Ryan and wanting to go down the mountain.

"It's getting dark, it's not good to go in." Ryan shook his head, "Unknown dangers can't be guarded against, so let's find a leeward spot here and stay overnight." ”

Where can Xu Nianran bear it, looking at Ryan with a pleading face, since she knew that she was reincarnated, she has been looking forward to finding the Jade Fuling Kingdom, although she is not sure if it is here, but after looking at the desert for so long, she suddenly found the ruins of a city-state, how could she bear it?

"Can't you go down and find a house to spend the night?" Xu Nianran asked softly, "Maybe you can find something." ”

"I can't." Ryan firmly refused.

Xu Nianran softly and mournfully shouted Ryan's name, but Ryan was indifferent, tightened the lifeline tied around his waist, and ignored Xu Nianran's plea.

"Here, you have to listen to me." He roared impatiently, "I'm not Chen Youfei, I won't get used to you." ”

Xu Nianran bit her lip and lowered her head.

She also understands that she can't do anything by herself, and no matter how urgent she feels, she can only listen to Ryan's arrangement.

Seeing that she was no longer making a fuss, Ryan found a rock to set up a tent behind it, and the night came early in the basin, and as soon as the sun went down, the shadows quickly covered the houses that were half-buried in the yellow sand.

There was still a lot of sand and dust in the air, and both of them went into their tents to hide from the mountain wind.

Ryan still squinted for a while, he didn't allow Xu Nianran to turn on any lighting facilities, the tent was dark, Xu Nianran could only pull a little corner of his clothes to make himself feel at ease.

After it was completely dark, Xu Nianran looked around, and suddenly found that there were a few bits and pieces of light outside the tent on one side, she was surprised and wanted to unzip the tent, probe out, and was pulled into Ryan's arms as soon as she got up.

"What do you want to do!" Ryan growled.

"There is a bright light, look, is it Qin Yan and Wen Su!" Xu Nianran pointed to a few bright lights in the same place.

"How is that possible! Don't you understand, it's not them who disappear, it's us! It's not them who are lost, it's us! How could they appear in front of us! Ryan quickly loaded his weapon into the easiest place on his body.

Xu Nianran was stunned, Ryan's tone and posture frightened her into not moving.

"Here you go." Ryan threw a dagger at her, "Don't take the gun yet, I'm afraid you'll hurt yourself, get up." ”

Such words of maintenance and care made Xu Nianran's heart tremble slightly.

The two of them got out of the tent with their waists and looked down the mountain, and sure enough, there were a few scattered dim lights in the ruins of the city-state that was half-buried by Huangshan.

Is there still a house inhabited? Why are lights scattered?

Ryan frowned and thought, supposedly, such a desert should not be inhabited, there seems to be no vegetation, crops and animals here, what do the people who live on for a living?

Moreover, if there were people living in such a site, it should have been protected by the state a long time ago, and it is impossible to let an isolated city and its remnants be buried by the gradual erosion and burial of wind and sand.

Ryan took Xu Nianran's hand and said, "Let's go, it seems that we have to go down to find out, you have to be mentally prepared, don't yell in my ear if you see anything, it will reduce our chances of survival." ”

Xu Nianran's heart was beating wildly, and he nodded his head in agreement, Ryan took out a handkerchief, folded it into a triangle, let Xu Nianran open her mouth, and tied her mouth.

Xu Nianran looked at his actions aggrievedly, even if it was to prevent himself from doing bad things, don't give yourself such a prisoner of war hostage, right?

Ryan looked at the protest in her eyes, there was no expression, if he was alone, he wouldn't worry about life and death, he had gone through a lot of difficulties and adversity, and he would have looked down on life and death for a long time.

But now with Xu Nianran, he doesn't want this canary who doesn't know anything to be threatened by his life.

As for why he had such an idea, he didn't have time to think about it for the time being.

Ryan walked in front of Xu Nianran, basically protecting her behind him, although Xu Nianran didn't know much about the marching formation, but he also understood that Ryan was protecting her, and he was a little grateful, and he also felt a little guilty for his previous rejection and disgust.

So she tried not to trouble Ryan, biting the handkerchief in her mouth, not making a sound, and even breathing as lightly as possible.

The small basin was much more spacious than the eye could see, and when I walked down the hill, I found that there were at least a thousand half-buried houses, and the road was like a tortoiseshell, with a straight road in the middle and a horizontal road on both sides.

On this scale, thousands of years ago, the Western Regions was already a small city-state, surrounded by hills and a natural barrier, and it should have been a small and prosperous country back then.

Xu Nianran stepped on the sand at the foot of the mountain, and walked very carefully with every step, the sand on the ground here should have been brought in by the strong wind for many years, and the rainfall in the desert area was very small, and it was very soft to step on, and the sand almost did not reach the surface of the feet as soon as he stepped on it.

Walk into the nearest lighted house, a house with obvious period features, mainly wood and yellowish adobe, the door has been blocked by yellow sand, and it does not look like it is inhabited.

Ryan glanced back at Xu Nianran, confirmed that she was firmly following him, and also confirmed that there was no danger around her, so he unbuttoned the lifeline on his belt.

He motioned for Xu Nianran to squat under the earthen wall, and he suddenly jumped up, jumped in through the broken window, and quickly swept the room with his gun.

The only thing worth noting is a cyan glass lamp, which is placed on the earthen kang.

The lamp was the size of a bowl, and it was filled with gray anointment, and I don't know what it was.

Ryan didn't see any lights when he looked down on the mountain before dark, but it was possible that he couldn't see the light during the day.

But what does it mean if the lights are lit up at night? Is there a person living here? If there were really people living there, it should have been discovered by the state a long time ago.

"Woo woo...... Xu Nianran snorted worriedly when he saw that Ryan had been in for so long and hadn't come out.

Ryan heard it and turned and flipped out.

"There's no one here, let's go, let's go to the next place." Ryan pulled Xu Nianran and walked towards another house with a bright light.

Xu Nianran was very scared, she originally thought that there were people with lights, or Qin Yan and Xing Wensu, but she didn't expect that there were empty houses here.

Every room is the same, things are neatly arranged, but it has long been decayed and dilapidated, and it can be seen that no one has lived in it for a long time, but the environment here is relatively special, surrounded by three mountains, and disasters such as sandstorms and tornadoes have not directly destroyed here.
