On the second, third, and fourth days, we walked deep into Lop Nur for another three whole days, but we still didn't get anything. The jar said that we were scurrying around like headless flies, and we couldn't find where we wanted to go. In the evening of the fourth day, the sun slowly came down the mountain, and the hot day was about to pass, and the wind blew slightly cooler. We found a camp in advance today, and all the tents were set up as soon as it was dark. But at this moment the breeze grew stronger, and stronger, first clanging the ropes on the tent, and then becoming more and more wild and unscrupulous. The tent we had just set up was instantly lifted by the wind and blown away. As for the other parts, they are missing. The bonfire that had just been lit was extinguished by the strong wind, and the firewood underneath was also carried into the sky. The grains of sand kept hitting their faces and hurting, denser than the raindrops of a torrential rain, and the darkness in front of them was so dark that I could barely open my eyes. I wanted to call Tan Zi and Xu Yunshu to come, trying to determine where they were, but I couldn't open my mouth and poured a lot of sand into my mouth. In the end, it was Azmat who touched the side of a car and turned on the lights to let us find our target. The three of us rushed to the side of the car with great difficulty, opened the car door and got in.

And just like that, the wind blew all night, and we hid in the car all night. It wasn't until the wind stopped the next morning that we got out of the car. At this time, the yellow sand on both sides had already buried half of the car, and when we looked for another car, we found that the car was missing. Originally, we thought that the car was also buried, but no matter how much we searched, we found no trace of it. Azmat said that eighty percent of the car was blown away by the wind. I said no, I pulled the handbrake. Azmat said that the handbrake does not work when the wind is strong, and the wind like yesterday must be at least 11. I said, "Then why is your car all right?" Azmat pointed to me a leash attached to the car, and the other end of the rope was tied to a piece of sandstone. I was dumbfounded, there was still this kind of operation, I didn't tell me before! All the supplies we were blown away by the wind were unloaded from this car, which meant that there was nothing in the car except gasoline in the trunk, and the car full of spare supplies was blown by the wind somewhere. We are all full of sadness, not because we are worried about money, with Xu Yunshu here, we don't need to worry about compensation, but what about eating and drinking in the future......

It took us nearly half an hour to dig the rest of the car out of the sand.

Azmat said we had to return immediately. Actually, I don't need to say it, we also know the seriousness of the matter. If we don't choose to turn back now, then soon we will die in Lop Nur. However, we have come so far that even if we turn back now, we will not be able to hold out without water.

Azmat said: "There is no way, if you don't turn back, there is only a dead end......

I nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's all or nothing now." ”

The altar also said: "I agree with the poor ghost's words, going back is nine deaths and one life, and staying here is ten deaths and no life." ”

"Let's go back now, find a place to rest when it's hottest, wait until the temperature is at its highest, and then continue to set off, and then go day and night...... At least at night, it's not so hot, and it's not so thirsty! ”

The four of us got into the car and set out on the road.

"We don't have any water, how did we walk for four days when we came?" "I guess before we can get back, we're already dying of thirst!" ”

I leaned against the car door, my head against the window, and said with a gloomy face, "That's no way, now we can only gamble to see if we can make it to the water source......

Tanzi slapped his thigh vigorously: "If I knew this, I should have gotten off that thing in that car in the first place, so that even if it was scraped away, at least there would still be this car!" ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If I had known, I would have tied up both cars! I said in a deep voice.

Tanzi sighed and didn't say anything more. But at this moment, Xu Yunshu suddenly found a problem, she asked Azmat, who was driving: "Shouldn't we go to the southwest?" Why are you driving northwest? ”

When Tanzi heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Azmat, are you kid idle and we don't die fast enough?" Instead of going back, you go deep into the desert! Are you in the water in your brain, no, there is no water in the desert here...... Did you get your brain into the sand, didn't you shout happily before, you had to go back? But now it's time to go back, and you're going to die again, what's wrong with you? Lost or turned? ”

"What do you know? I'm saving everyone! Azmat interrupted the jar loudly.

"Save everyone? How to save? "We were confused when we heard what Azmat said.

As he drove his car, Azmat explained to us: "Ordinary people can live for three days without eating or drinking, but one and a half days in the desert is about the same...... It took us four days when we came, and we were going to die halfway back in our current state...... I've heard a lot about this kind of thing, and I've heard too many of them...... So, we have to take a gamble and find the nearest water source! ”

"The nearest water source? So, do you know where there is water? When we heard Azmat say this, we immediately knew that there was a play, and hurriedly asked him, with a look of hope on our faces.

"Artemisibrak!" Azmat said.

"What? Oh, at this time, you don't speak your own language, speak Chinese! Speak Chinese! The altar hurriedly urged.

"Translated into Chinese, it means 'sixty springs'!" Azmat said.

"Sixty springs? Where do I go? Where is it? The altar asked repeatedly.

Azmat said: "In the Kuruktag Mountains! ”

"Kuruktag Mountain? Where is it? ”

"We have already passed the ancient city of Loulan, so as long as we continue to walk northwest, it won't take long to find it!" Azmat said.

"Great!" The jar cheered, "It won't be long before we can find fresh water!" Sixty springs, what an abundant source of water? There are springs everywhere, and it's spectacular to think about! ”

"No, no, no, it's not 'sixty' springs, it's 'sixty springs'!" Azmat corrected the jar and said.

"That's right!" The jar was confused, "I'm talking about sixty springs!" ”

Azmat said: "It is not that there are sixty springs, but that spring is called 'sixty springs'!" 'Sixty' is not just a number, it means a lot! ”
