Chief Gao and Hu Bugui were talking and laughing, and they saw Lin Wanrong jumping down from Li Wuling's carriage, his eyes were glaring, his face was as black as charcoal, and he walked straight to this side.

"What's going on?!" The two looked at each other, full of questions.

Hu Bugui took the water bladder hanging on his waist, handed it to Lin Wanrong and said, "It's so hot!" General Lin, quick, drink saliva!! ”

Lin Wanrong wiped the beads of sweat, waved his hand, and blocked the water bladder back: "Brother Hu, use it, I drank it just now." ”

Looking at his dry and white lips, Hu Bugui frowned, and said in an urn voice: "What has been drunk, don't coax me, general!" You poured all the water in your water bladder into Xiao Lizi's water bladder yesterday, when have you ever drunk water?! General, you feel sorry for your brother, but you also have to take care of your own body. ”

Lao Hu is a caring person. Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Brother Hu, don't worry, when I am really thirsty, I will look for you, you also know that I am the most cunning, how can I be polite to you, haha!" ”

Seeing Lin Wanrong's grinning appearance, she knew that it was useless to persuade her, so Hu Bugui had to take back the water bladder.

"Brother Lin, is this what kind of Silk Road you are talking about-" Chief Gao glanced around, the wind was whistling, the yellow sand was smiling, although it was already nightfall, the heat emitted by the yellow sand was still scorching the soles of his feet like fire, and his soaked clothes were tightly clinging to his back, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The desert march is not like the plains, in order to avoid the scorching sun and the consumption of physical strength and water for no reason, everyone is day and night, stationed at the height of the sun to rest, when the sun sets in the west, set off to advance, and stay overnight to march. Rao was like this, and the power of the desert sea was far beyond their imagination, and they had to stop and rest for a while after walking for more than an hour.

"There is no silk to be seen. and there was no way out. This name is too unworthy of the name! Lao Gao's face turned red, and he sighed and asked with doubt.

"It's true that this is called the Silk Road, but this Silk Road is not the road paved with silk everywhere as you think-" Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head: "To put it simply, this Silk Road is our Dahua, the trade and communication route to another continent. Because our Dahua silk is smooth and beautiful, and everyone loves it. Merchants who traveled between Europe and Asia. I like to put silk on horseback and hunchback. Sold to the other side of the world, hence the beautiful name of the road, the Silk Road. ”

The old and high school were dizzy to hear it. I don't understand what the other side of the world, Eurasia, means. However, listening to Brother Lin tell this allusion to the Silk Road is indeed a happy thing during the journey. The two of them nodded and laughed.

Maybe. The less you know, the happier you are. Look at the simple and honest smiles of the two of them. Lin Wanrong suddenly felt a little envious of them - simplicity may not be a blessing!

Just as he was about to make a joke with them, a voice full of doubts sounded beside him: "On the other side of the world, Eurasia, what is that place?!" Where are you going? ”

Lin Wanrong turned her head and saw a beautiful pure ground face, looking at her quietly, but it was the Turkic girl Crescent Moon. She didn't know when she would come. Stood beside him. It's as light as a tanuki.

In this vast sea of death, the scorching sun and yellow sand. Barren. Fleeing into the desert alone is tantamount to digging your own grave. With the cleverness of a Turkic girl, she would never do such a stupid thing. Lin Wanrong didn't even bother to tie her up. Give her full freedom, whatever she wants, you can run away and show me if there is a kind!

Yujia's eyes widened, biting her red lip, her face full of questions and longing, waiting for his answer.

Lin Wanrong heeled, ignored her, and beckoned to Hu Bugui and the two: "Two big brothers, let's tell a story in another place, someone here is too clean, I can't get used to it." ”

Although Lao Hu and the others couldn't understand the-for-tat in his words, looking at that attitude, they also knew that he was putting on a face for Yue'er.

Yujia understood what he meant, and couldn't help but look at him angrily and funny, turned his head and snorted softly: "Stingy man, stupid man!" ”

These two people looked strange, Lao Gao blinked at all, and simply didn't leave, sat on the ground, and said with a smile: "Since you are resting, then rest completely." Everyone sit down and listen to Brother Lin swing the dragon gate array! ”

He hit the ground with a sigh, and jumped up with grinning. Hu Bugui smiled: "Brother Gao is really bold, you dare to sit on the ground with such hot sand." ”

"It's not about the sand, it's about something on the ground!" Lao Gao scolded hatefully, and kicked Fang Cai to the place where he sat down. There was a soft thud, and several people opened their eyes wide at the same time, their faces full of horror. Lao Gao didn't lie, there was really something under the sand.

Lin Wanrong squatted down, didn't care about the heat, hurriedly picked up the sand, and several people stared at his movements intently.

The layers of silver sand were peeled away, and it turned out to be a shriveled stump. This stump originally had the waist thickness of two strong men, but it lost its moisture and gradually withered, shrinking only a few palms square, deflated like a basket!

"What kind of tree is this, which can live in the sea of death?!" Or Yujia looked at the mouth first, and I don't know who he was asking...... She slowly crouched down. Stretched out his hand side by side with Lin Wanrong and slowly stroked the old trunk.

Lin Wanrong sighed for a long time: "This is called Populus euphratica, and it is the most tenacious tree species in the world. My ancestors in Dahua once praised him for being alive and not dying for a thousand years, dying without falling for a thousand years, and dying, but not withering for a thousand years, which means that his vitality is tenacious and unrivaled. ”

"The most tenacious tree?!" Yujia gently rubbed the trunk of the decayed tree, shook his head and sighed slightly: "Life without death, death without falling, pouring without withering." Three thousand years of life, but no match for this sea of death in the land of Luobo, pitiful, lamentable. ”

"She said Luo Bu Naoer - where is Luo Bu Naoer?" Chief Gao asked Brother Lin in a low voice.

"Rob Naoer? Oh, maybe it's a small Turkic village, not very famous. Lin Wanrong touched her nose and explained with a grin.

"Ignorant people." Yujia glared at him and snorted, "Luo Bu Nao Er is what you call Luo Bu Nur. In our Turkic language, Lop Nur is called Lop Nur. It means a beautiful lake where thousands of waters gather - hum, it turns out that Lop Nur is a small village, in the eyes of Wo Lao. It's not famous—Yuga has taught you how erudite you are. ”

Lin Wanrong's old face was hot. He snorted and said, "Turkic." It's not good to listen to and it's hard to remember. It's understandable that I forgot about it. ”

Hu Bugui said with a smile: "What a beautiful lake where thousands of rivers gather, laughing to death." This sky is full of yellow sand, rabbits don't, where are there lakes. ”

Chief Gao also laughed appreciatively. Yujia shook his head slightly. Said contemptuously: "You big Chinese. I don't know my own history. How can you not be bullied? Thousands of years ago, this Lop Nur was a huge lake. Your pre-Qin geography masterpiece "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" refers to Lop Nur as Youze. It was once three hundred miles wide. Its water pavilion dwelling. The reputation of winter and summer does not increase or decrease, and there are many other names after that, such as Peacock Sea and Lop Pool. None of them are far from the lake. As a big Chinese, I don't know anything about it. Even I, the Turks, are ashamed of you. ”

Lao Hu Lao Gao has been playing with knives and guns since he was a child, and his favorite thing to read is the picture album, where will he read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". was hit by a few words from this Turkic girl. He bowed his head in shame.

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "There is a specialization in the art industry. Learn about the history. It's not about us remembering everything clearly. If so. Then everyone will become historians. To put it mildly. Miss Yujia, even if you claim to be a Bo Gu Tongjin. I don't have to be familiar with your Turkic affairs—"

Crescent Moon smiled proudly: "But as long as I am a Turkic historical fact, Yu Jiamo does not know." ”

"So powerful?" Lin Wanrong's eyes rolled. Hehe said: "Then I'll just ask." Excuse me, Miss Yuga. How many concubines did you have in the first generation of Turkic khans? ”

"I, the Turkic Heavenly Khan, have rewarded the women of the land before and after. Eighty-nine people in total. Yujia said disdainfully: "What are you doing when you ask this, I coax you, and you may not know." ”

"He's got so many women. That's a lot more stallion than me. Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "Then do you know what part of your first generation of Khans, the first time you saw these women, which part of the ground you saw?!" ”

This kind of question comes up too - it's fucking nasty. But I like it so much!! Hu Bugui and Chief Gao looked at each other. The eyes sparkle lewdly. He laughed wildly.

Yujia's little face flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "You." You're nasty! ”

"I'm nasty?! It's because you're thinking about it. Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "Let me teach you a lesson in Turkic history." Your heavenly khan, the first time you see a woman. Of course, it's a woman's face. Otherwise, you think it will be somewhere. Look at the legs and look at the ground. Is that a see?! That's nasty!! ”

Yujia was stunned, and then came to his senses. This rogue's game is a game of picking words, and even Tian Khan was scolded by him once.

Chief Gao slapped his face, and the thief smiled and said, "It's a good person to look at the face first." It really shows the true colors of a man. High, really high! ”

looked at Lin Wanrong's proud appearance. The Turkic girl was angry and annoyed, and she couldn't wait to go up and give him two punches, but after a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's clear that you lured me to deliberately want to fork." You're a man. It's just a mess! ”

Lin Wanrong shook her head and sighed: "It's really a crime to add to it." There is no excuse for it. Little sister, you are too powerful, you have a mouth horizontally and vertically, why are you right, and you don't let people live? ”

The sin of "Yujia", why is there no excuse? He deliberately used homophony to ridicule himself, how could the Turkic girl not hear it, so she was so smart and intelligent. It's just that she can't figure it out. It's clearly a matter of his own advantage, how could he be completely turned around by this rogue in a few words, what kind of ability does he have?

"Well, since you want to tell you the origin of this Lop Nur, then I will also tell you a beautiful story." Lin Wanrong smiled and said slowly: "A long, long time ago, there was a young man named Luo Bu Naoer, who was born into the royal family, he was handsome and chic, and he looked similar to me. Luo Bu Naoer does not want to inherit the throne, he wants to cross the desert and go to Qiuzi to learn singing and dancing. When he reached the Tarim Basin, he lost his way, and hunger, thirst, and exertion made him faint on the ground. On the verge of death, he was rescued by Milan, the daughter of the god of wind. This Milanese girl is innocent and lovely, beautiful and kind. The two fell in love at first sight, fell in love with each other, and were inseparable. When the god of wind found out that his daughter was in love with a mortal, he was furious, so he blinded Luo Bu Naoerdi's eyes, broke Milan's legs, and blew them into the desert on the east and west sides, and punished them for not seeing each other for the rest of their lives. ”

He paused at this point. Yujia listened attentively and hurriedly said, "What happened later, what happened to them later?" ”

When a girl listens to a love story, she will definitely ask the result. This is the unshakable law of the Metro. Lin Wanrong secretly laughed, shook her head and sighed: "The two of them are on their own side." can't see each other, it's because the thoughts are like knives. The knife urges people to grow old. Milan, a beautiful girl, misses her lover every day. Overnight. Green silk turns gray hair. Rolling tears gathered into a river. Converge into a crystal lake. This is the legendary Lop Nur. Thousands of years ago, Lop Nur was born. Lakes and mountains, clear water and blue sky. Many rivers flow into it. All in one vein. It's like pearls falling on the earth. Reputedly. That's the girl's affectionate tears. ”

Later, the Milanese girl became ill with longing. The soul is out of the sky. That overnight. Heaven and earth change color. The lake dried up and the beautiful Lop Nur disappeared. Only the silver sand is left all over the ground. Legend has it that this is all over the heavens and the earth, and the silver sand. It's the girl's gray hair. This allusion is called tears like Milan, white hair and silver sand. ”

When it comes to storytelling, Lin (computer Chinese network, zzz) someone recognized the second, and no one in the world dared to recognize the first. His tongue is bright and lotus, compared to Yujia's boring quotation of the past and the present. He is straightforward and easy to understand. The origin of this Lop Nur is resounding, suitable for all ages. Even Lao Gao and Hu Bugui are such reckless men. It's also fascinating to listen to.

"Tears like Milan. White-haired silver sand! Yuga couldn't help but bow her head. Whispering to himself, his eyes flashed with longing and yearning. This rogue is like a storyteller. I was annoyed by making an anagram before. The latter story is unforgettable. Vulgar and elegant. The contrast is strong. Especially the two sentences "tears are like Milan, white hair and silver sand". Although he knew that he made it up casually. But it makes people remember it and never forget it.

Lin Wanrong smiled: "How is it." It's a funny story, isn't it? How about "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" than what you are doing?! ”

"It's all codified. I don't believe it. Yuga lowered her head. Gently stroked the poplar tree. Said weakly.

The tall chief gave a thumbs up. Infinite admiration: "Brother Lin." I've found that I'm enjoying your stories more and more. No wonder so many princesses like you! It's a boring and lonely march, can you tell us a story every half an hour? ”

This. What about when I was the king of fairy tales? Lin Wanrong shouted, eager to kick the old boy away.

After saying a few words, Hu Bugui moved the stump of the poplar tree ground, and suddenly saw a flash of white light, and Yujia screamed. hugged Lin Wanrong's arm tightly.

Look up. Under the stump. There was an eerie white bone exposed. Yujia's face turned pale with fright. Wrapped his arms around Lin Wanrong. Don't dare to let go for a moment.

Women are really weirdly animals. They can kill without blinking, but they can also be in front of ants and cockroaches without looking up. Lin Wanrong sighed. The two of them dug up the stump completely, but they saw that the bottom was densely packed with white bones.

White bones criss-cross. The shape is messy. There are horse bones, and there are human bones. After preliminary counting, there were at least twenty or thirty people, and I don't know how many years had passed.

"Brother Lin. Why, how could anyone die here?! "Lao Gao has killed a lot of people, but in this boundless desert, he suddenly saw this pile of gloomy bones, but he was terrified.

Lin Wanrong sighed for a long time: "The Silk Road is not only beautiful silk, but also craggy white bones. These are our forerunners. ”

This is a caravan on the Silk Road, as evidenced by dozens of silk and wooden scrolls that are almost decaying. It may be due to the lack of food and grass, and eventually he died in the desert.

Next to the white bones, there were still some remnants of the ground fragments and corners, which seemed to be dry sheepskins, and Yujia did not say a word, carefully arranging them.

Hu Bugui glanced at it a few times and said in surprise: "It seems to have words!" There is Dahua, and there is Turkic! It's strange, how did we big Chinese and Hu people get together in Lop Nur?! ”

There is nothing strange about this, Lin Wanrong nodded and said: "The Silk Road not only belongs to us, but also to other ethnic groups, it is a passage where all ethnic groups converge. The merchants on the Silk Road, regardless of Dahua and Turkic, were brave pioneers and our predecessors. Even if they are two different peoples, they can help each other and prosper together. ”

Yujia glanced up at him, as if considering the meaning of his words, she pondered slightly, her eyes gradually confused, silent......

Regarding Lop Nur, most of the legendary verses in this chapter are true, and the story of Milan is also a model of truth, which has been slightly improved in this article. The allusions to tears such as Milan and white hair and silver sand are purely made up by the third brother, and all the brothers who are proficient in geography and history should not be more serious.
