In the past two days at the Milan farm, I also felt the unprecedented tranquility and nature, such a group of naïve and optimistic people, and the endless desert Gobi is a sharp contrast, the ruthlessness and indifference of the desert, the optimism and enthusiasm of the people. I even sometimes sit in the shade under a tree in the yard of a Milan farm, dazed and sleepy, and I am intoxicated by the pleasure.

And everyone has not been idle in the past two days, especially Cao Xueqin, who has given full play to her gender advantages, as a kind and hard-working, knowledgeable female doctor, her needlework, that is, the old people in the old society said that marrying a daughter-in-law has three treasures - female red, small feet, will please, and female red. Cao Xueqin only used one day and one night to use two one-piece expedition suits, according to Mr. Jiao's current body type, and used his skilled needlework to help Mr. Jiao transform into a special and extra-large one. At that time, when she handed over the remade one-piece adventure suit to Jiao Shou, Teacher Jiao's smile was open, just like a big girl going to a sedan chair, which is called a beauty. That night, Jiao Shou wore the one-piece expedition suit, ate dinner, and worked, and couldn't wait to wear it to sleep at night, presumably this was the first time in his life that he received the clothes made by a female comrade himself.

Two days have passed, and although everyone is not skilled in the use of equipment, it can still be used consistently; The materials were also prepared according to the situation of the event, and the vehicles were loaded according to the plan. According to the plan, Cao Xueqin and I drove a jeep as the lead car, mainly responsible for leading the convoy and surveying the route, Luo Gang and Jiao Shou drove a jeep, Sima Nanyi and Kun Misha drove a material truck, and Abramaimaiti and Liu Xilai drove a material truck, in order of jeep in front and truck in rear. So, we set off at 5 a.m. on August 7 and set out on our way to the temple near Kailash.

Starting from the Milan farm, I drove along the dry and flat valley of the desert Gobi towards Golmud for less than a hundred kilometers, and a few kilometers in front of the car there appeared a black shadow towering in the dark night, the black shadow was sharp and dull, blocking the night light and the stars, and towards us it was exactly the dark side, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything clearly. The car was in shape for a few minutes, and I finally saw clearly the black shadow more than ten meters or dozens of meters high by the faint moonlight and the reflection of the car lights. I immediately slowed down, and after a few hundred meters of travel, I stopped with a double flash, and the three cars behind me also stopped in a row one after another.

I got out of the car, lit a cigarette, stood in front of the car, looked up at the shadowy and towering Tubao Mountain, and heard a burst of "whew" in my ears...... Call...... Whew". Luo Gang walked up to me, snatched the cigarette from my mouth, took one out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and put my cigarette butt with his cigarette butt.

"Hey! I'm stunned! Luo Gang roared and pulled me back from my distraction! Here, your smoke team! "He had already shoved the cigarette into my mouth in the seconds I was distracted.

The others also just sat in the car and did not get out of the car, and the car did not turn off. Because it takes at least 10 seconds to start the engine and step on the accelerator in gear, and the wheels start turning, a lot can happen in those 0 seconds. Therefore, whenever the first car stops unrecognized, or when the convoy needs to stop temporarily, they will not have to start the car engine and run for their lives in the event of an emergency.

"Demon Ghost Town! The first hurdle of this morning, we ignored the first two days of meetings! I was careless! Luo Gang held a cigarette in his hand and patted his head and said.

"I've heard of this ghost town, because after all, the 5007 Research Institute contains most of the secrets that are unknown to everyone in the country and all of Asia. But I've only occasionally seen some information in the archives to know the origin of the name 'Demon Ghost Town'. According to local legends, many camel caravan merchants on the ancient Loulan Silk Road, in order to take a shortcut to the Tubo country or Chang'an, will venture into the desert Gobi, in a vain attempt to pass through this strange area of ravines and rocks, but often encounter desert wind and sand, after the wind blows the sand into this area, the ghost sound is forested, covering the sky and the sun, there is no way out, and it cannot be stopped for several days. Because of the strange terrain, the caravan could not go out day and night, and finally starved to death in it after running out of water and food, and was buried in the yellow sand. Therefore, since ancient times, the local people have commonly known this place as the 'Demon Ghost Town'. I looked at the gloomy strange rocks in front of me and said.

"You only know one and you don't know the other, but there is actually a way to cross this ghost realm. First, it is based on the stars to determine the direction; Second, it is to determine the direction according to the traces of the sand stacked on the surface It is in the northern sky, composed of seven bright stars forming a spoon shape, just like the ancient people's wine vessel "Dou", which is commonly known as the Big Dipper. Four of the stars make up the bucket spoon and three stars make up the bucket handle. But in different seasons and at different times, the position of the Big Dipper in the northern sky is also different. In my country's ancient book "The Crown of the Bird", there is: the bucket handle points to the east, and the world is spring; The bucket handle refers to the south, and the world is summer; The bucket handle refers to the west, and the world is autumn; The north finger of the bucket handle, the world is winter. And we are now in the middle of summer, which means that the handle of the Big Dipper is pointing exactly to the southwest. In summer, the northwest wind blows from July to September in Lop Nur and even in Golmud, so when the sand blown by the wind falls down to form waves, it forms a line from northwest to southeast, just like the waves on the beach. Therefore, we don't always have to stop the car to observe the handle of the Big Dipper, just drive the car along the sand line on the ground, because the location of the Yuzhu Pass of Tanggula Mountain is also in the southeast of Milan Farm. I don't think this demon ghost town is a few kilometers in diameter, so it's not too late to wait until we pass through this ghost domain and stop to adjust our orientation according to the map. When Luo Gang said this, he looked at me, then patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I'll take the lead on this section of the ghost city of the Traveler Demon Domain!" He went back to the car.

I let out an embarrassed "um" and went back to the car to catch up with Luo Gang's car. At this time, Cao Xueqin, who was sitting in the car, witnessed the whole conversation between me and Luo Gang, and when I got into the car, Cao Xueqin came out with a strange sentence: "It turns out that our dignified captain, Comrade Leng Lingshan, is also embarrassed!" I thought you were an old man who could do anything, knowing everything and doing anything! ”

Because when I first got in the car, my mind was not on driving at all, because I was thinking, what kind of "character" is this Luo Gang, even the Demon Ghost City is just a piece of broken ground with strange rocks and ravines in his eyes, it seems to be the same as the vast desert, and it can't cause him any fear, which shows how strong this person's mind is, and he is not in a hurry, he dares to take responsibility, such a good team member, if he can recruit into our 5007 Research Institute, it can be said that he is a general, and he can take charge alone! Just when I sighed in my heart, this ghost girl Cao Xueqin came out with such a sentence in a weird way, and I didn't know how to speak, so I had to drive the car and follow Luo Gang to continue to move cautiously in this demon ghost town. The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward, as if Cao Xueqin thought that she had said the wrong thing and angered me, so she didn't say anything more and quietly lowered her head.

The car drove for about 1 hour, the sky in the east was slightly white, and the craggy rocks on both sides of the route that followed Luo Gang seemed to be gradually rare, and we also entered an open river valley in front of us. I saw that Cao Xueqin was still not in a high mood, and then I pretended to be deep and said, "Comrade Xiao Cao! In the future, you can't speak disrespectfully to the leader. I'm easy to hold grudges, one day I'm not happy, I will send you to the savage mountain on the border of Yunnan and Burma, the savage will catch you like a yellow flower girl back to the cave, as the tribe's child tool, when the time comes, your main job is to give birth to a litter of little savages, even if I want to rescue you, it is estimated that it will be difficult, so many little savages call you mother, it is estimated that even if you yearn for the prosperity of the big city, you may not be able to go! ”

Half of the time, I was amused by my own words, and quickly straightened my face again, for fear that she would find out about this subtle change!

As soon as Cao Xueqin heard that she was going to be captured by the savages and give birth to a little savage, she was from her neck to her head, as if she had been splashed with boiling water, she turned red all of a sudden, she was angry and laughed, and begged embarrassedly: "Captain Leng, my big brother Leng, I don't dare to talk nonsense in the future, I don't want to give birth to litters of little savages." ”

Hearing Cao Xueqin's pleading tone and the words "litter after litter of little savages", I no longer stiffened my face and laughed, if I wasn't driving a car now, following Luo Gang's first car, I might have been able to sit on the big rocks in the Gobi Desert and faint laughing. After laughing for a while, I saw Cao Xueqin blushing and lowering her head and not speaking, so I simply turned on the tape recorder in the car and stuffed it into a plate of Peking Opera tapes, and I listened to the recording of "Dream in the Garden" starring Mr. Mei Lanfang in 1960.

Listen to it for about 10 minutes, Peking Opera just listened to a short section, the sun from the east completely exposed the ground, dawn, just at this head, I was just about to sing two sentences with the horn, I heard Mr. Mei Lanfang's voice in the tape recorder first twisted to make a fast and slow "squeak wow la" sound, and then the Peking Opera singing voice gradually disappeared, and instead of it was the current sound of "Zizizi", I thought to myself that this tape recorder is really disappointing, brother, I was about to sing two sentences, but I also shook my face, tape. I hurriedly pressed the pause button and ejected the tape, but there was no cassette or skein tape on the tape, and just as I was about to stuff the tape back, I inadvertently saw out of the corner of my eye that the compass on the dashboard was spinning wildly, not only the compass was spinning, but even all the dashboards on the car were constantly swinging. It's not good, something big is going to happen at this time!

I couldn't care about it so much, so I shouted: "Cao Xueqin, quickly take the walkie-talkie, and ask Luo Gang, Liu Xilai, and Sima Nanyi if their cars have any dashboard failures?" ”。

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Xueqin immediately picked up the walkie-talkie under the co-pilot's stool and began to call: "I am a 001 car, do other vehicles have dashboard failures?" Repeat, I am a 001 car, do other vehicles have dashboard failures? Receive an immediate answer. ”

More than ten seconds after Cao Xueqin sent the message, there was no echo in the walkie-talkie, just a shrill electric sound. She looked at it with a solemn expression and said, "Captain Leng, it's not good, maybe the walkie-talkie is also out of order." ”
