Chapter 37: Yu Chunshun walks to his graveyard

On June 11, 1996, after Yu Chunshun and the escorts separated, the last sentence was: "Let's see you on the bridge!" ”

That was his last word to the world in the basin of Lop Nur Lake.

On the evening of June 12, a sandstorm blew up, and in the blink of an eye it was dark, and the sand and rocks did not stop until the evening of the next day.

Yu Chunshun never appeared again.

Until June 18, the helicopter flew eastward along the dry Peacock River, passing through the Yadan Group of Longcheng, the ruins of the mound, and the center of Lop Nur Lake, and a blue object with the size of a fingernail appeared on the ground, which was Yu Chunshun's tent......

Yu Chunshun is dead.

The place where he was killed was northwest of Lop Nur, and the place where Pengamu disappeared was about 160 kilometers southeast of Lop Nur. There were 16 years between their deaths and disappearances.

How could we have seen Yu Chunshun on the vast Lop Nur 17 years later?

I suddenly said, "Monsoon, look at your phone." ”

Monsoon took out his phone and said, "What are you looking at?" ”

I said, "Look at the time!" ”

She said, "1:11. ”

I said, "Date." ”

She looked at the calendar and suddenly stopped talking.

I said, "What year?" ”

Monsoon said: "June 12, 1996 ......"

Sure enough, the timing was out of order.

I said, "Linghu Mountain, what about yours?" ”

Ling Hushan also took out his mobile phone and looked at it: "Mine is normal." ”

I said, "What do you mean normal?" ”

Ling Hushan said: "The display is May 5, 2013. ”

I stopped the car, pulled out my phone and looked at it, and it showed that it was also May 5, 2013.

I grabbed a bottle of mineral water, picked up a flashlight, and jumped out of the car.

The cars behind stopped one after another.

Many people were sleeping, and Zhou Zhidan, Bubu, Meng Xiaoshuai, Bai Xinxin, and Zhang came down.

Zhou Zhidan asked me eagerly: "Mr. Zhou, did you see anyone just now?" ”

I said, "See." I think he's Yu Chunshun......"

Zhou Zhidan asked: "Who is Yu Chunshun?" ”

I said, "A hiker, he died in this place in 1996. ”

Zhou Zhidan said: "In 1996? ”

I said, "I suspect we may have crossed over." You get in the car and wait, and then he comes over and I'll talk to him. ”

Bubu said, "Talk to him...... What the? ”

I said, "Tell him his end, let him get in the car and follow us!" ”

Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I'll wait for him with you!" ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Let's stop meddling, hurry up!" If it's really him, he's a dead man, what do you talk about with a dead man? ”

I said, "It's 17 years ago and he's still alive. ”

Bai Xinxin said: "If you are not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates." ”

With that, he hurried back to the RV.

Zhang Hui leaned into my ear and whispered, "Boss Zhou, do you really want to wait for him?" ”

I nodded.

Zhang Hui said: "When he appeared just now, the four eyes screamed loudly......

I said, "It's normal for it to smell people." ”

Zhang Hui said: "Do you want to ...... I'm following you? ”

I said, "No, you can get in the car and rest for a while." ”

Everyone went back to the car and waited. The lights are on.

Meng Xiaoshuai and I held flashlights and shone behind us, and the desert was pitch black, and we didn't see the person coming.

Monsoon and Linghu Mountain also came, waiting with me.

Half an hour later, I heard Four Eyes screaming again in the car of Bubu and Zhanghui, and then I saw the man appear. It can be seen that although he is very tired, his spirit is not bad.

He walked up to us and waved at us as a traveler.

I saw that his black and red face was covered with white sweat, so real, not at all like a time away from us.

I said tentatively, "Excuse me, are you...... Mr. Yu? ”

He stopped, tossed his heavy travel bag, and said, "Yes." ”

His surname is Yu!

I could tell he had a strong Shanghai accent.

I asked again, "Are you Yu Chunshun?" ”

He said, "I'm Yu Chunshun. You're traveling, huh? ”

I said, "Yes, we're here to travel." ”

With that, I handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Don't go any further, get into our car." ”

He shook his head and said, "Thanks, I'm hiking." I'll be pitching my tent in a moment. ”

I said, "You can't get out!" ”

He took a sip of water, wiped the drops of water from his beard, and said, "Don't worry! I've been gone for 8 years, you have to trust my experience and strength, there is no problem. ”

I said, "You know what? Today is June 12th, and there will be a sandstorm in the evening until the evening of the 13th. Then there is the continued heat. ”

He said distrustfully, "How do you know? ”

I said, "Please trust me. ”

He looked at our convoy and then at a few people around me and said, "I once walked across the Tibetan Plateau and encountered a mudslide. Even if it is a sandstorm, I will complete this crossing, this is my dream. Thank you for reminding me. ”

Then I said, "Then I'll tell you, if you keep walking, your graveyard will be not far ahead." ”

He said, "Are you telling me a fortune?" ”

I said, "You look at the date of production of mineral water. ”

With that, I handed him the flashlight. He took a picture of the logo on the mineral water, and his expression was a little surprised: "You are from 2013? How can it be! ”

I pointed to the monsoon and said, "She was 10 years old when you crossed Lop Nur." ”

Yu Chunshun looked at me, his eyes were a little sloppy: "I wonder if I'm too tired, you are all my hallucinations......"

I said, "In 1998, I was the editor-in-chief of Girlfriend magazine, and I remember I published an article in my honor for you. ”

Yu Chunshun lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally said: "As I said, if this crossing is not successful, it will be the death of the heavens, and I will ......."

I said, "You can give up and come with us." ”

He shook his head, his expression a little tragic: "You can't take me to 2013, I have to go my own way." ”

I said, "We never imagined that we would come to 1996 and meet you." No one knows what will end up with, so why don't you give it a try? ”

He didn't pick up, but suddenly asked me, "Do you know why I didn't go out in the end?" ”

I said, "You're on the wrong track." ”

He stared at me: "How did I go the wrong way?" ”

I said, "It's been 17 years, and I can't remember it anymore, but it seems that the place where you died is only 3 kilometers away from where you buried the water." ”

He hesitated.

I said, "Listen to me, get in the car!" ”

He looked around, as if unwilling to give up.

Monsoon said, "Trust us. ”

He finally nodded and said, "I'll go with you to the forward bridge first, and then choose a day to go again." ”

He put his travel bag on my trunk, took the straw hat in his hand, and sat in the passenger seat.

I was a little scared and a little excited. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to bring Yu Chunshun with this decision.

If we really take Yu Chunshun out of Lop Nur, then it is equivalent to changing everything, and the news about Yu Chunshun's death on the Internet will no longer exist?

Too many people know about the Yu Chunshun incident, and their memories will also be deleted?

If we meet Pengamu, who has only reappeared in front of the world after 33 years of mysterious disappearance in Lop Nur, his face is still the same, and he is in a trance for a moment - that is magical.

However, Yu Chunshun is indeed dead, and if he dies and rises again, what is it?

Perhaps, we will not be able to get out after all, and in the end, we will die here with this explorer. One day, rescuers found Yu Chunshun's body and erected a tombstone for him. Near Yu Chunshun's tombstone, the bodies of 14 of us were found......

Yu Chunshun spoke: "Your surname?" ”

I said, "Zhou, Zhou Dedong." ”

He said, "I'm with you, will there be a sandstorm tomorrow evening?" ”

I was confused: "Honestly, I don't know, I don't even know if it's your time, or ours." ”

After a pause, Yu Chunshun asked again, "Where did you all come from?" ”

I said, "I'm from Lancheng, and the girl in the back is called Monsoon, and she's also from Lancheng." The boy in the back is called Linghushan, and he is a local. ”

Yu Chunshun looked back at Monsoon and Linghu Mountain, and said, "Oh. ”

Neither Ji Feng nor Ling Hu Shan dared to speak.

The salt crust is covered with empty soil and fine sand, and it is very difficult for the car to crawl.

Yu Chunshun said again: "I am ...... How did he die? ”

I said, "High temperature, acute dehydration caused by lack of water, general failure. ”

Yu Chunshun said: "When did they find me?" ”

I said, "In a week, almost." ”

Yu Chunshun smiled strangely: "What was I like at that time?" ”

I said, "It's been too long for me, I just remember you lying in your tent with your head facing Shanghai." ”

Yu Chunshun said: "Didn't you publish an article mourning me? It should be remembered, it doesn't matter. ”

After saying that, he looked at me for a long time, waiting for me to answer.

I said, "The rescuers found your tent, blue, a corner had collapsed, they approached the tent, called your name, smelled a foul smell. A hidden knife was thrown at the door of the tent, and the scabbard was not visible. When they see you, they are all stunned, your head is swollen, your facial features are out of proportion, your hair and beard are like washed, your upper body is bare, all blisters, and the big one is like a ping pong ball. Elbows press against your straw hat, and your sleeping bag is tied up in a roll and pressed under you. ”

Now, the blue tent, the Tibetan knife and scabbard, and the sleeping bag should all be in his travel bag. The straw hat was in his hand.

Yu Chunshun thought for a while and asked again, "Where am I buried?" ”

I said, "Where you fell." ”

I steered clear of the word distress.

Our conversation was so depressing that I wanted to change the subject and tell him about our situation.

He turned his head out the window, looked at the dark desert, and continued to ask me, "What kind of tombstone did they erect for me?" ”

I said, "Marble, and your bronze head ...... carved."

Ji Feng suddenly said: "Boss Zhou, look at the side!" ”

I looked to the side and was shocked – there was a tombstone not far away! We arrived at Yu Chunshun's cemetery!
