Chapter 103: Sandstorm (I)
Rhubarb and Da Hei looked at me by the campfire, Da Hei was silently eating the hay, and Rhubarb looked at the rabbit meat on the table and shouted at me, which means eat quickly.
I nodded, and looked around to see if there were any others, but strangely there were no others, so why were there four more camels?
I picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and took a bite, but I couldn't help but ask Rena: "I left earlier than you, and I didn't walk slowly, why are you in front of me?" It stands to reason that you should be behind me. ”
Rena pulled Hye-jin and sat down, sighed, and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to mention this matter, if Hye-jin hadn't told me and really told you to run away, Hye-jin would have guessed that you would say goodbye, so we went on the road that morning." ”
No wonder, so you left seven or eight hours earlier than me, I thought about it in my heart, and asked Hui Zhen with a little surprise, "Hey? Huizhen, how did you know that I was going to leave by myself without telling you, and I still came to Lop Nur? ”
Huizhen glanced at me secretly, and pulled down her long hair to cover the corners of her eyes, "As long as it's a real man, it won't affect other people, and I, Wang Huizhen, won't like people indiscriminately." ”
"Since you know my thoughts, you should respect me, and if you want to die, you will die to me!" I put down my chopsticks and said angrily.
Seeing that Hye-jin was scolded by me, Rena lowered her head, grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth, "What? Eating meat still can't stop your mouth? With your clumsy appearance, you would have died faster without us. ”
I chewed and sighed, and said in my heart that this was a bitter gourd that was twisting me, so I could only point outside in compromise and ask in a low voice: "Hey, there are a total of thirteen camels outside, why are there only seven of you now, where are those six people?" ”
Rena said while cutting meat for Hye-jin: "There are only seven people, thirteen are in the desert, especially in the place of Lop Nur, it represents auspiciousness, and the homonym of thirteen is 'is a mountain', which means that it will not be buried by the wind and sand, and it will return safely." ”
I couldn't help but let out an "oh", and said in my heart that there was still this exquisiteness.
Rena ate a piece of rabbit meat, and then said: "My brother has been walking in the desert for so many years, he has never been so taboo, he is praying for you, my eldest is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, you speak politely to him, in front of his men, you can't contradict him." ”
I said in my heart that I had reached this step, and I would contradict what your eldest brother would do, so I changed the topic and said: "Lop Nur is the ear of the earth, also known as the Sea of Death, located in the lowest part of the Tarim Basin, where the Peacock River, Shule River, and Cherchen River converge, and is the second largest saltwater area in China. ”
"Then the question is, this area of Lop Nur is an oasis in ancient times, the ancient country is full of economic prosperity, how many mysterious civilizations have not yet been revealed, are sealed in the ground, I believe this, but you said that there are fresh water springs on the earth in Lop Nur, how to explain the salt crust outside the land? Are you saying the opposite, it should be a saltwater spring? ”
Sure enough, this topic was transferred very successfully, and Rena immediately became serious, "There is nothing wrong with the salt crust, here is a prosperous place four or five thousand years ago, that is, the economy is prosperous, how can people drink salt water, when the flood occurred, it flooded many ancient countries, and also impacted the two major basins of the Tarim Basin and the Junggar Basin, the formation of these salt crust lands is related to the ancient salt storage, and it is also related to the turbulence of other rivers, in short, the meaning of the source of fresh water is the place where fresh water springs, it will definitely not be wrong, The wisdom of the ancients is quite profound, it is so far from the sea, it must be very inconvenient to buy salt, so the ancients will definitely open up saltwater culverts underground, so that there will be salt to eat, and there is a unique salty water resources here, which will leave the salt crust area. ”
