Chapter 12: It is true that we have found water in the land of death

Chapter back.

Zhang Hui is seriously suspicious.

He stole my water glass and made a replica of the flower carved out of sand! This guy used to work in construction!

So, what did he do?

First, in the middle of the night, while the police were asleep, he quietly left, went to my car, and stole the water glass - I have forgotten if the door was locked last night.

Perhaps, the policeman did not search his body, and the knife was hidden on his body all along. He made the death mark, went back to the tent, stabbed the policeman in the heart with a single blow, stabbed several more times in a row, and then, he put the death sign next to the policeman, and he knew that everyone would see it, and shoved the knife into the policeman's sleeping bag, and made sure that the policeman was dead, and began to shout desperately......

Last night, we overlooked an important detail – Four Eyes didn't bark.

Not to mention that a stranger walks into the tent, even if you approach the camp, the four eyes will bark.

At this time, Pulp Juice ran over: "Dear uncle, it's time to eat!" ”

Boiled noodles, tea eggs, canned tuna at noon.

During the meal, Lao Ding asked me, "Boss Zhou, when are we going to pull out?" ”

I said, "I'll leave after eating." ”

Monsoon asked, "Where to go?" ”

I said, "Go find a fairy tale." ”

This girl is from Sichuan, likes cooking, and likes to wash and wash. After so many days of not taking a shower, I guess she's going crazy.

Then I said to her, "If there were a bunch of high-end jewelry for you to choose from, and a bathroom where you could take a shower comfortably, which would you choose?" ”

Monsoon said, "I'll take all the jewelry." ”

I looked at her in surprise: "It's not like you!" ”

She laughed and said, "Because I know there can't be a place to bathe." ”

I said, "What do you want so much jewelry for?" In this place, none of them can compare to a sunhat. ”

She said, "You can sell it for money when you go out." ”

I said, "It's really Leo, realistic, confident. ”

"I choose to take a bath. Even if I change that pile of jewelry to my dad, I choose to take a bath. ”

I said, "If we're lucky, we'll be able to take a shower in the afternoon." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Writer Zhou, I really brought a swimsuit. ”

Everyone looked at him, petrified in an instant.

After lunch, we pulled out the tent and set off.

As we left, we built a pile of stones to mark, and it was easier for us to find the huge "chessboard" from here.

Now, we have a total of 12 cars.

Pulp and I drove ahead in our buggy.

In particular, the guy from Lu Sanguo drove a dark blue Range Rover, about 2.8 million.

Looking back, the 12 cars stretched for two kilometers, rolling up the sand and covering the sky.

We followed yesterday's markers and finally saw the huge slope of fear.

It was too high to climb up by car, I ran parallel to it, drove forward, drove about seven or eight kilometers, the slope finally gradually gentle, I drove up and looked in the direction of the water, a reckless yellow sand, I didn't see the water at all, and I didn't see the shadow of the greenery.

Pulp said, "I also choose jewelry......

I said, "Let's keep going, even if it's a mirage, I'm going to find it, at least let you see it." ”

The cars behind drove up one after another. Only Bai Xinxin's RV was a little weak, and it couldn't climb up several times, and Lu Sanguo's Range Rover pulled it up with a towrope.

I walked forward.

Pulp held up a telescope to help me look.

To be honest, I started to get nervous when I approached this big slope, and I was afraid that everyone would suddenly be like hysteria and kill each other.

Pulp suddenly said, "If I wanted to marry you, would you think I was small?" ”

I said, "Yes." ”

She said, "Cut, I still think you're too old." ”

I said, "How old are you?" ”

"In another 8 months, it will be 25," she said. ”

I said, "Aren't you a Cancer?" ”

She said, "Yes, I was born on July 21. ”

I said, "You'll be 25 in 8 months?" ”

She said, "That's right." ”

I said, "Baby, don't hurry, or let's do the math again?" ”

She said, "Oh......"

After a while, she was a little embarrassed and said, "It seems to have miscalculated......"

I said, "Look, I'm in a hurry." ”

She said, "Otherwise, I'll go out, and you can stay in Lop Nur." ”

I said, "What do you mean?" ”

"We've been in for 10 days, and it's been a month outside, a three-fold difference in time," she said. Then I'll do the math, how many years from now, I'll come to you, and we'll be the same age......"

She really counted.

I said, "It's just May, and you said that there are still 8 months until July, and with your level of arithmetic, you probably won't be able to figure it out." ”

She ignored me, muttering with a small mouth, still calculating: "In another 5 years, I will be 29 and you will be 60......"

I said, "Hey, how do you get older?" ”

She hurriedly said: "Wrong, wrong, I grow fast, you grow slowly, I count the opposite......"

I said, "No matter how many years have passed, how long has passed, you will still come to Lop Nur to find me?" ”

She nodded solemnly, "I will." ”

I said, "Okay...... How do you put the binoculars down and keep looking. ”

She quickly raised her binoculars, and after looking at them, she suddenly exclaimed: "God! I see the water! ”

In fact, I also saw that between the dividing line between the sky and the yellow ground, there was a hazy green.

My heart jumped wildly, and I increased the throttle and rushed over.

Pulp didn't speak for a long time, and I turned my head to look at her, and she stared blankly ahead, crying.

I said, "Why are you crying?" ”

She said, "Even if they are mirages, I am satisfied that you can show me them......

I said, "I'm not that romantic. I'm bringing you to find water. ”

As we approached the water, I felt more and more that it was real, and when I opened the window, I could even smell a puff of moisture in the endless heat.

I stared at the blue color as if I wanted to nail it, lest it disappear without a trace in a blink of an eye.

You can't go wrong, it's true!

It was surrounded by tall and short plants, dark green and pale blue, and I even saw a canoe dug out of poplar wood at the water's edge, half stuck in the sand, half exposed, rotting and abandoned for I don't know how many years.

I parked the car.

The cars behind arrived one after another and all stopped. Everyone got out of the car and ran to the water's edge. Rushing to the front turned out to be two girls - Meng Xiaoshuai and Pulp.

The lake is about 3 square kilometers and I don't know how deep it is. I picked up a handful, tasted it, and it turned out to be light!

I remembered that before I set out, I read a source that Chinese soil geographers had excavated 14 soil profiles in the dry lake basin of Lop Nur, and found that there was a gray-black silt layer at a depth of 1 to 1.3 meters, which was the sediment of organic matter from 5,000 to 6,000 years ago, proving that Lop Nur was a freshwater lake at that time.

What's going on with this lake?

Rainstorm formed?

I am reminded of Przhevalsky in Russia, who in 1883 and 1885 traveled from Kyakhta to Xining via Kulen, leaving Xining in 1884 via Qaidam and crossing the Altun Mountains to Lop Nur. He visited the villages along the shore of the lake and wrote...... They are not engaged in agricultural production or animal husbandry, and for generations they have been fishing for a living, bringing the fish they catch to Korla and selling them. They made overcoats out of swan feathers and woven cloth out of rob linen......

Importantly, Przhevalski said, Lop Nur is a freshwater lake.

Later, other scholars retorted, arguing that what he saw was not the real Lop Nur, but another lake in the lower Tarim River system......

Could it be that we have another lake in front of us?

We don't have geologists on our team to figure it out.

In Lop Nur, where all life is extinct, water was discovered, which is a miracle that shocked the world. And what we found was a freshwater lake, which was even more amazing.

Meng Xiaoshuai picked up the water in the lake and poured it on the pulp, making a mess. Four Eyes had already rushed in, and it had swam so well.

Many people took out their mobile phones that had been abandoned for many days and snapped and took pictures.

Perhaps, after we get out of Lop Nur, we will never find this place again, and no one will believe that we have actually found water, they will say, we have hallucinations, or we have seen a mirage, then these photos can testify to the fact that it is impossible for a dog to swim in a mirage.

I looked around, and the plants were so dense that they seemed to shield the lake from being discovered, including straight and straight salthorn grass, rospro with pink flowers, gray-green forked branches, white reeds, cacti-like salt knots, sweet potato elixir, and wild chrysanthemums......

Meng Xiaoshuai ran over and said, "Boss Zhou, can I go down to swim?" ”

I shook my head.

She said, "Why! ”

I said, "We don't know how deep this lake is......

She said: "I have a deep water certificate in the gym! ”

I said, "If there's mud or weeds in there, it's deadly." ”

"I don't dive," she said, "I just swim on the surface for a while. ”

I said, "What if there are water monsters?" ”

She stopped talking.

Wei Zao came over and said, "Boss Zhou, I'm okay with the water, I'll go down and take a look first, how can we also learn about this lake." ”

I never expected that Wei Zao would find the symbol of "Pisces Jade Pendant" at the bottom of this lake......
