Chapter 50: Children Are Helping Us......

Monsoon said, "This kid is here again......"

I said, "He's not a child. ”

Monsoon said, "You said Naoer...... Not a child? ”

I said, "He's not necessarily Nao'er, as I said, there are a lot of them, and they all look the same." ”

Monsoon said, "Let's go." ”

I said, "It's not easy to meet him, I have to talk to him." ”

Monsoon said: "Talk about the problem of nearby schooling? ”

Monsoon has a great sense of humor, but she rarely jokes with me.

I looked at her and said, "I want to adopt him." ”

Then I walked over to the child. After taking a few steps, I turned around and said to Monsoon: "Let me ask you a question, before I came to Lop Nur, you gave me a list of teams, and those names are all with black frames, which you added?" ”

Monsoon shook his head.

I said no more and continued on to the child.

The kid must have heard my footsteps, but he didn't look back, he climbed up the tombstone, as if he wanted to touch Yu Chunshun's head, but he fell again and again, very clumsy.

I walked up behind him and shouted, "Nao'er, hello......"

He looked back at me and continued to climb up the tombstone.

I ignored him or not, and continued: "I've been to the bottom of that lake and seen a lot of children, are you all copying? ”

The word "copy" seemed to pierce one of his nerves, and he fell off the tombstone.

I flattered, "Be careful." ”

He continued to climb.

In this way, he climbed him, and I said mine: "We once took in a child, I don't know if it was you, he opened his mouth, and when we asked him where he lived, he said 'Sixue', we thought it was a dead cave, in the ancient tomb, and then we found out that you are not the same thing as those people in the ancient tomb, do you live in the lake?" ”

He continued to climb.

I said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." How old are you? Let me guess...... 25 years old? …… 600 years old? …… 3 years old? ”

He suddenly laughed out loud, and the guess that he must have been "3 years old" amused him.

He smiled and looked back at me, but at Monsoon and Linghu Mountain.

I continued: "We have no ill will. We just want to get out of this place and hope to get your help......"

He finally looked at me.

Then he climbed down from the tombstone and muttered two syllables in a vague voice: "Mom...... Mom......"

Then he crawled away. The salt crust was so hard, he had no clothes, and his palms and knees didn't seem to hurt.

After crawling out of the way, he looked back at me and repeated, "Mom...... Mom ......" and continued to crawl forward.

Could it be that he is demonstrating something?

I stared at him closely.

He didn't look back, climbed farther and farther, and finally went down a slope and was gone.

Mother......

Crawl......

Did he mean to say "horse"?

I hurried back to the camp of the three of us, and Monsoon asked eagerly, "What are you talking about?" ”

I said, "Horse." ”

During the day, our buggy was much faster, and after a little bumpy half a day, we found the lake.

Thankfully, those three cylinders were thrown in the sand by the lake and we moved it to the car.

After a hurried lunch, I asked Linghushan: "At that time, how long did it take you to reach the edge of Lop Nur?" ”

He said: "It took about five and a half hours to get out of that passage, and after getting out, I got rid of the ecstasy and walked for another eight days. ”

I looked at the cylinders. One of the gas cylinders was carried out of the water by me, I used it for 10 hours, there should be 2 hours left, the other two gas cylinders came out early, the remaining time should be more, even if one has 3 hours left, and the other has 4 hours left, I and Monsoon still can't get out of that passage, then we will be suffocated to death.

What to do?

As long as I dive to the bottom of the lake, I can replicate more cylinders. However, there will be a lot of Zhou Dedong coming up......

But now that there was hope, I was much more relaxed, I sat down on the sand and started messing around.

I said to Linghu Mountain, "Why don't you go down?" ”

Linghushan said, "Okay." ”

I said, "There will be a lot of you, which one do you let Monsoon choose?" We are not polyandry. ”

Ling Hushan hesitated.

I said, "Unless the monsoon also goes down, then there will be 10 Linghu Mountains and another 10 monsoons, and then you can have a group wedding." ”

Ji Feng said: "Boss Zhou, can you be serious?" ”

I stood up, patted the sand off my body, and said, "Let's go." ”

Monsoon said, "There aren't enough gas cylinders." ”

I said, "If we find that passage, let's go in and run." ”

Monsoon said, "What if you can't run to the end?" ”

I said, "After we've used up two cylinders, if we haven't run out yet, I'll give you the last cylinder for you to use." ”

Monsoon said, "What about you?" ”

I said, "I'm going to look for the juice." ”

Monsoon said, "No! ”

I said, "That's it." ”

Monsoon said, "I said no! ”

I patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Linghushan walked in that passage for 5 hours, and if we run, we will definitely save a lot of time." ”

Monsoon said, "Even if it's a few minutes away, you'll suffocate people." ”

I said, "Do you have any other way?" ”

Monsoon said, "Why don't we put the gas cylinder at the bottom of the lake and try it?" ”

I said, "Do you have a rope?" ”

Monsoon walked briskly over to the cars we had left behind, rummaged through them for a long time, and walked back in frustration.

I said, "No, let's go." ”

I stepped on the soft sand, walked to the grave of the pulp, stood silently for a few minutes, and then drove away.

From this lake to the north to the Yu Chunshun cemetery, about 80 kilometers; From Yu Chunshun cemetery to the north to Longcheng, about 150 kilometers; From Dragon City to the west to the Tomb of the Sun, it is about 170 kilometers.

We didn't go north, but went straight to the northwest, a total distance of about 250 kilometers, although the road is difficult to walk, but it saves a lot of roads.

It was just past noon at this time, and if all went well, we might be able to reach the Sun Tomb at dawn tomorrow.

200 kilometers west of the Sun Tomb is the ancient city of Yingpan on the Gobi Desert.

Yingpan was an ancient military station, which guarded the middle route of the Silk Road and protected the merchants. This ancient site is relatively well-preserved, with a circular city wall, almost 6 meters high, and a large pagoda in the shape of a pyramid. Nearby there is the largest burial mound complex in Lop Nur.

Continue west from Yingpan to the city of Korla.

However, we have to go through that passage, otherwise, we will never find Korla, and as we walk, we will return to the lake, or to the cemetery of Yu Chunshun, or to the old barracks......

Linghushan fell asleep on the back seat, and Monsoon lay on his lap and also fell asleep.

I drank water while driving while wiping my sweat.

The person Linghu Mountain reminds me of a person - Fushi. I wrote a novel, The Door, in which there is a character named Fu Shi.

A rich woman recruits employees, in fact, it is the first face of recruitment. Fu Shi walked into her office. This man is very manly: small head, somewhat dark complexion, strong limbs, strong teeth, and sharp eyes.

The rich woman saw that his appearance and temperament were very manly, but his education was very low, so she asked him, "What is your specialty?" ”

Fu Shi whispered, "My specialty is—specialty." ”

So, he was hired.

This man looks exactly like a human, but he is not.

Why is he called Fushi?

These two words are covered by the word "person", if the word "volt" is removed next to the word "person", what is it? If the word "food" is removed from the top of the herringbone, what is it? What do two add together?

One night, the rich woman plans to order takeout and pizza.

She dialed the phone and asked Fu Shi, "What do you eat?" ”

Fu Shi looked at her, and said in a low voice for a long time: "You eat pizza, and I eat the person who delivered the pizza." ”

……

I rarely thought I would be scared of the stories I wrote, but at this moment I was feeling a little chilly.

Eating is in the story.

Linghu Mountain in reality.

What does he usually eat? He never said, is he really the same as Fushi...... Cannibalism?

Ling Hushan woke up after sleeping for more than ten minutes, and he wanted to show me the way.

It was dark, and we didn't see the shadow of the Sun Tomb.

We didn't have the heart to eat, so we kept going.

At midnight, Linghushan finally said, "It's here!" ”

The headlights shone into the distance, and the terrain really rose, forming an earthen platform, on which appeared dense low wooden stakes, arranged in a regular pattern.

I stopped the car, turned back to Monsoon and said, "Bring all the important stuff with you." ”

Monsoon nodded.

If we go under the graveyard and find the passage, then we will emerge from another real world and it will be impossible to return to this car.

Then, Monsoon and I each carried a gas cylinder, and Linghushan helped us carry the third one and walked up to the earthen platform.

The Sun Cemetery is the only one of its kind in China. It is located on the north bank of the ancient channel of the Peacock River, also called the ancient tomb ditch. In 1979, it was discovered by two archaeologists. On the west side of the cemetery, there is a large forest of dead poplars, with equal plant spacing and row spacing. The people buried in the tomb are all men.

According to carbon-14 measurements, these ancient tombs are more than 3,800 years old, and there is a 2,000-year break between them and the Loulan civilization. This period of history is a mysterious void in Lop Nur.

Who are the people in the tomb? Where do they come from? Where did it go?

No one knows the answer.

Wooden stakes form a circle, and in the center is the burial place of the deceased. The surrounding wooden stakes are radial, representing the rays of the sun, and in the dark night, they look extremely terrifying.

Ling Hushan walked in front with a flashlight, looking down for the entrance.

Monsoon and I were completely dazed, like two puppets, following him closely.

Finally, he said, "This is it." ”

I looked at the beam of light from the flashlight, and there was a black hole under his feet, which looked like a grave hole.

Linghu Mountain was the first to get in.

Monsoon and I got in.

The entrance to the cave was narrow, and when you walked inside, the air immediately seemed suffocating.

The light of the flashlight flickered, and I felt that it was not like a regular passageway, but more like a hole formed by the natural collapse of an ancient tomb.

We kept walking down, and after ten minutes, the surroundings suddenly opened up.

I took the flashlight from Linghushan's hand and shone it around, dumbfounded—we entered a circular hall, and although it was a dirt cave, the ground and the top floor were very flat. The frame is not very high, and tall people can even touch their heads. There are many passages in all directions, and perhaps as Linghushan said, their direction is the radiation above the ground.

Those passages are all black holes, as if waiting for us to make a judgment.

I held up a flashlight to check one by one, and on the walls at the entrance of each passage, there were faded murals, and I could vaguely see that there were all kinds of animals, human figures, and all kinds of strange plants......

I stopped in front of the passage where a horse was drawn.

That's it!
