Chapter 625: The Mystery of the Ancient Kingdom of Loulan (Medium)
After leaving Ruo and Qiang Town, where Loulan was located, He Qing and the others drove straight to the direction where the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan were located.
Because it was the first time to visit, He Qing and Lin Haitao both had a sense of freshness and were full of anticipation for exploring this distant and mysterious place.
"How long will it take to get to the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan?" He Qing asked Brother Xing.
Brother Xing replied: "We are familiar with this place, and we can take the nearest road, so we can reach the periphery of the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan in the evening." Big brother, do you want to enter the ancient city of Loulan? ”
He Qing said without hesitation: "Of course, since you finally came, how can you not take a good look?" ”
He had heard the legend of the ancient kingdom of Loulan a long time ago, and he was very yearning for it at that time, and he wanted to see the real face.
Now although the ancient city of Loulan has begun to reveal its original form, the archaeological work has been in-depth, and many valuable cultural relics have been unearthed, including the "Loulan Beauty" that has not been corrupted for thousands of years, but there are still many difficult mysteries.
He Qing faintly felt that those mysteries were waiting to be unearthed and revealed.
In any case, he has an advantage over any archaeologist, because he can directly see the "precious light" emitted by the artifact, so that he can easily find the treasure according to the aura.
Brother Xing replied: "But now it is not easy to enter the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan and inspect the ruins. If you simply go for a tour, you have to pay at least 3,500 yuan for the protection of cultural relics. This price per person. The price is not a problem, it can be afforded, but there are too many restrictions, if we transport so many treasures into it, it will definitely be targeted, and it will be bad to make people suspicious when the time comes. ”
He Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Then leave someone to guard the baby, I'll take one in and have a look." ”
"Then the matter of rediscovering that treasure...... Uncle Pang interjected.
He Qing said: "This is not in a hurry. The treasure cemetery is on the side of the ancient city of Loulan, and you have to go through the ancient city to get there, and it seems that the convoy can't go through the past directly, you have to make a detour to turn over. Sing. Is there a rest stop or village in front of you? ”
Brother Xing replied: "This desert has no grass. There is no water source, and people and animals cannot live at all, so there is no village to be seen, but there are small villages. It is specially designed for visitors to rest. It's like a hotel. You have food and use, but you are all expensive to die! ”
"It's nothing expensive, it's good to have a place to rest." He Qing was pleased. "Then wait and find a village closest to the ruins of the ancient city to rest, and most of you will stay when you go back, and I will take someone to the ruins to see the situation."
"Yes." Brother Xing agreed.
At that moment, they hurried up and drove straight in the direction of Loulan Ancient City.
I don't know how long it took, but I saw a person suddenly appear in front of me.
Like a hiker.
The tourist stood there waving to them and motioning for them to stop.
"Big brother, there is a person in front of you, who seems to be in trouble, do you want to stop and take a look?" Brother Xing, who was driving at the front, asked for He Qingdao.
Uncle Pang preemptively said: "It's better to keep going, the people who appear in this kind of place can't be trusted, it may be a group of robbers, as soon as we stopped, the other robbers who were in ambush rushed out." ”
He Qing didn't reply immediately, but looked at the traveler intently.
It was a thin middle-aged man, wearing a pair of glasses, and he didn't look like a robber.
He Qing's eyesight is so sharp, he can see at a glance whether there is a ghost in that person's heart.
"Stop, I guess he's lost, and it's okay to give him a ride." He Qing commanded.
As the saying goes, "saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter", since you encounter a lost traveler in the desert, you naturally have to lend a helping hand, otherwise the other party may fall into despair.
Seeing that death is not saved, He Qing still can't do it.
"Hmm." Under He Qing's orders, Brother Xing immediately stopped the car.
He Qing and the others also parked the car to the side.
After stopping the car, He Qing opened the car door and walked down.
Brother Xing, they all looked at the man with wary faces.
"Boy, you're parked, that's great!" The man hurriedly greeted him and greeted with a smile, "I'm lost, and I'm running out of water, do you have any extra water in the car, can you give me some of it?" Thank you so much! ”
He Qing glanced back at Lin Haitao without hesitation and said, "Give him a pot of water." ”
This time they entered the desert, but they were fully prepared, with a large amount of water and food reserves, and a few people had no problem eating and drinking for more than half a month.
So what does it matter if you share that man's pot of water?
Soon, Lin Haitao took a large pot of water from the car and handed it to the man according to He Qing's words.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" After taking the water, the man nodded in thanks.
He Qing shook his head and said, "You're welcome." This reckless desert, desolate, can be said to be a no-man's land, you can meet us, it is considered your luck, otherwise you will not have water to drink for ten days and a half months. ”
The man smiled bitterly: "Don't say it's ten days and half a month, it's just three days, and I can't go on." This pot of water is a lifesaver! Thank you so much! ”
With that, he tilted his head and took a few gulps.
After drinking the water, his chapped and white lips became moisturized, and the whole person seemed to be energized.
After he finished drinking, He Qing asked, "Uncle, where are you going to go?" If you need to, I can give you a ride. ”
The man replied: "I have been lost here for three days and three nights, I have been lost since I came out of the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, and now I want to go out and find my teammates." ”
"You came out of the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan? Which direction are you going? He Qing smiled bitterly, "We're rushing in the direction of Loulan, it seems to be the opposite of you." But if you get lost, I can send you back to a rest stop near Loulan, and then you can contact your team members on the Guò satellite phone and ask them to pick you up. ”
"Then why are you driving in this direction?" The man was surprised and said, "The ruins of the ancient city of Loulan are in the direction you came from." ”
"What?!" As soon as these words came out, He Qing and Lin Haitao, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces showed surprise.
He Qing smiled: "Uncle, you are mistaken. The ancient city of Loulan is obviously in front, how can it be behind us? Otherwise, what are we going to do? We have a compass. There can be no mistake. Maybe you're lost. The sense of direction has gone awry. ”
"How is that possible?" The man shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I also brought a compass, and I am from the geological survey team." Decades of experience in geological surveys. How is it possible that you can't even tell the direction? I came straight out of the ancient city of Loulan. It's just that this place is too wide, and I don't know where the nearest way out is. ”
"You're from the Geological Survey Team? What is your name? He Qing asked casually, and he was even more curious in his heart. Right now, this person insists that the ancient city of Loulan is in the opposite direction of them, could it be that Brother Xing and they are mistaken, they have already walked through the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan?
The man replied one by one: "My name is Dong Ziqing, and I am from the Henan Geological Team." A month ago, I and the people in my team, together with six people, went out to explore the ancient city of Loulan, but when we were about to arrive in Loulan, the weather changed suddenly, and a strong wind and sand scattered us, and since then I have never been able to contact them, nor can I find them, but I still walked to the ancient city of Loulan alone. There is not a single person there, no people or animals! So even if you send me there, it's useless, I can't contact anyone. ”
He Qing smiled and said, "You said that there is no one in the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan?" How is that possible? There is now a conservation station, and there may be tourists visiting every day, but there are definitely people. Besides, now there are satellite phones, some places around, and base stations, and mobile phones may receive signals. So it's not hard to get in touch with people from outside. ”
He felt that the person in front of him who claimed to be a geological survey team was a little confused, but he seemed to be in good spirits, and it didn't look like he was lying, and besides, he didn't need to lie.
Dong Ziqing glanced at He Qing up and down, and inquired about Lin Haitao and the others standing next to him, as well as the parked vehicles, and said in surprise: "Satellite phone? Cell phone? What is it? ”
"It's a mobile phone, a wireless mobile phone, don't you know?"
This surprise He Qing can eat a lot, the old expert of the dignified geological team, Dong Ziqing doesn't know about mobile phones?
Not to mention an elderly man in his fifties and sixties, even primary school students play with their mobile phones, which are too common in this era!
Saying that, He Qing subconsciously took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed it to the other party.
Seeing the mobile phone, Dong Ziqing's eyes widened.
"The date on your phone is July 9, 2014......" he took a few steps closer and scrutinized the information on the phone's screen.
He Qing nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. ”
"How is that possible?! No way! You lied to me! Dong Ziqing's face changed greatly, his eyes were full of doubt, and he began to murmur to himself, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Uncle, we still have to hurry, you can't get in the car, do you want us to take a ride? Otherwise, we're leaving. He Qing asked.
At this moment, he has determined that Dong Ziqing is a little mentally deranged, and there is no need to dwell on this matter anymore.
If the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan were really in the direction they drove from, how could they not find anything at all.
"I'll go and poop." Dong Ziqing shuddered, daring to love that he had just drunk a lot of water, and he was shocked again just now, so the urge to urinate suddenly came, and he needed to relieve himself.
When he saw Ling'er standing behind He Qing, he turned around and walked away, walking far to the side.
When he walked to relieve his hands, suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the direction from which He Qing and the others were driving.
The wind was very strong, and the sand and dust that blew up hit He Qing's face.
They covered it with their arms.
"Is it going to change? But that's not what the weather forecast says. He Qing muttered.
Oddly enough, the wind soon stopped.
He Qing was feeling weird.
Suddenly, I only heard Lin Haitao exclaim: "That person is gone!" (To be continued......)
