"The day after tomorrow, New Year's Day." Zhang Meng blurted out that for people with high memory, it is very simple to remember the date.

"I'm talking about the lunar calendar, the lunar calendar!" Yan Wangdong repeated the last two words again.

"Lunar calendar, lunar calendar......" Zhang Meng was stunned, quickly took out his watch, switched to the lunar calendar, calculated it and said: "It seems to be the thirteenth lunar calendar." ”

"That's right, it's the thirteenth of the lunar calendar."

"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Meng asked.

"As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth is round and round, and in two days, the moon above us will become the fullest." Hades said with a dumb riddle.

Zhang Meng seems to understand what Yan Wangdong means, although Zhang Meng has seen a lot of strange things, but most of them can still be explained by science, so Zhang Meng doesn't believe in any folklore at all.

Seeing that Zhang Meng was a little disapproving, Yan Wangdong slapped his thigh: "Confused, confused!" ”

The fat man on the side said with a hippie smile: "I said old-timer, it's not just right to have a full moon, and I can see it more clearly when I am in a hurry at night." ”

"It's a shame that you're a little fat man who has been messing with my apprentice for several years, and you don't even understand this bit of common sense?" Seeing that Zhang Meng and the fat man were indifferent to his words, Yan Wangdong immediately scolded angrily.

Zhao San, who was in the distance, took a sip of mineral water and said, "Senior, are you worried that something will happen to this great desert on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar?" ”

"Cut, we have a lot of strength, the wolves are scared away, there is no danger at all these days, what are you afraid of." The fat man said.

"Humph!" Yan Wangdong didn't bother to talk nonsense with the fat man anymore, shook his sleeves angrily, and walked back.

Lady Na, who was coming from the expert group, stopped Yan Wangdong and asked: "Senior, do you mean that there will be danger the day after tomorrow, and it will be a big danger?" "You must know that Lady Na should be the most science-oriented person in the team, and no one expected that she would stop Hades and ask for advice.

"To explain in your scientific terms, seeing this hairy moon in the desert, even if there is no major trouble, is a sign that a big storm is coming." Yan Wangdong said.

"That's right, according to the most authoritative saying in the world, if there is a halo in the sun, it means that there will be heavy rain, and if there is a halo in the moon, it means that there will be a strong wind, you Chinese, like to call the halo hair." Said a curly-haired, bearded foreigner in the Bogut company.

"Who is he?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Mr. Peter." "Europe's most famous meteorologist," says Lady. ”

After listening to Lady Na's words, Zhang Meng nodded at the bearded man and expressed his gratitude. The bearded man also smiled at Zhang Meng, and walked towards their team, not wanting to continue at all.

It seems that they simply don't care about the danger that follows.

With the evidence of the bearded foreigners, everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, you must know that if a strong wind really blows in the world-class desert like Taklamakan , this well-equipped team can be buried in the vast sea of sand within a minute.

However, time is running out now, and there is no room for everyone to waste, let alone run back and forth.

Seeing that Lady Na hadn't made up her mind yet, Yama Wangdong added another sentence before turning around: "The gale that will appear in the future is not terrible, because in Taklamakan it is normal to experience several big storms. What is really worrying is that on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the hairy moon above our heads will turn into a blood-red round moon, which is commonly known as the blood moon! ”

Everyone who was still a little worried, but after hearing the word Hades drop the blood moon, they were all unexpectedly relieved. Because the blood moon means a bad omen in Chinese folklore, it is an unprecedented danger, and on this day the caravan will stop departing, and the travelers will stop hurrying, but this is superstition in the end. Moreover, the blood moon has been fully explained in modern science, that is, the blood moon is actually the moon, the earth, and the sun are connected in a line to form a total lunar eclipse.

But the next storm makes everyone have to be prepared.

For this reason, Lady Na specially brought Professor Lou, Dr. Wang and the guide Hattie over.

I talked about the worries of the foreign bearded man and Yan Wangdong just now, and then listened to the opinions of a few experts.

Now, the whole team is actually composed of three forces, of which the leading ones are, of course, Zhang Meng, the tomb robbers and the expert group sent from above, and Bogut Company? It's like a person who stays out of things, never cares about everyone, and doesn't take care of everyone, which is surprisingly honest. However, before entering the destination, there is no doubt about the role of the guide, so everyone should listen to the guide's opinion.

Lady Na didn't mention the blood moon at all when she said it, and Hattie didn't know, in the spirit of no one to be offended, everyone's reasons were in favor, but she didn't have her own position.

Professor Lou and Dr. Wang were very anxious, on the one hand, the temptation of Lop Nur was too great, and they were unwilling to go back halfway; On the other hand, the superiors have given deadlines for them to find what they are looking for as soon as possible at all costs.

In order to avoid everyone's emotions, Dr. Wang also deliberately explained that through the Yadan landform, it is very likely to find the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan at any time, even if the ancient city of Loulan is not found, other ancient city ruins can be found, and when the storm comes, everyone can set up tents in the ruins of the ancient city to survive. After all, there are still two days left before the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, which is enough for everyone to hurry. Moreover, everyone had just left the Peacock River, and they had not gone far, and the food and water carried by the camels had not been consumed much at all, which was enough for everyone to continue eating.

If you go back like this, I'm afraid it will be quite demoralizing.

After listening to Professor Lou's analysis with Dr. Wang, Zhang Meng also felt reasonable, although he knew that Yan Wangdong's words would not be alarmist, but as Yan Wangdong himself said, the danger that should come will always come, rather than hiding, it is better to really fight each other, so that everyone can weigh their own pounds.

In the end, Zhang Meng motioned to lady Na to ask Bogut Company again?

lady Na said no. Then, before the sun is hot, everyone hurry up to this last bit of time, and rest when they can't walk.

There was no objection, and a group of more than 20 people embarked on the journey again.

They planned to find the ruins of an ancient city before twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and then set up camp on the spot, sleep, eat, and then set off again in the evening.

But just when everyone finally ate and drank enough, and stayed up until sunset and was ready to go on the road, they saw a surprising scene.
