"Gold diggers? Isn't that a tomb robber? Ye Qiu said, recalling: "At the railway station, there are often scammers disguised as archaeological teams who transport bottles and cans out of the country. ”

Zhou Yi guessed: "Chief Liang is talking about those people who came to the Gobi Desert to 'pick up stones', right?" ”

Liang Yi nodded with a smile and said, "There are aquamarines, topazes, tourmalines, and Gobi jade buried in the Gobi Desert...... and other treasures of great value. People are delusional about getting rich overnight, so from ancient times to the present, people who come to the Gobi to try their luck have come in groups and in an endless stream. But only a small number of people are discerning, most of them return empty-handed, and there are some unlucky people who have never come out after entering the Gobi. ”

Ye Qiu scratched his head and said: "It seems to be very popular to gamble on stones recently, and there are some friends around me who would rather spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a broken stone, and after cutting it, there is nothing, and the family will go bankrupt." ”

"Wealth and wealth are in danger, people can not even want their lives for money, let alone gambling on stones? Look—"

Liang Yi threw a few stones in his hand into the air, "Choke! The sword was quickly unsheathed, "Boom! A sword slashed, and the stones thrown up were all split in two and scattered on the ground.

"Awesome!" Zhou Yi exclaimed.

Liang Yi picked up two pieces of broken stone from the ground, how quickly did he draw his sword to cut the cross-section so smooth? In the center of the cross-section is a thumb-sized yellowish stone core, which is more luster than the gray-veined stone.

"It's rare, but these are Gobi jades." Liang Yi pointed to the yellow stone core road on the cross-section.

"That's it, isn't it worth it?" Ye Qiu asked.

"It's not enough to polish a ring, it's not worth a penny."

Liang Yi threw the stone in his hand and began to follow the rut:

"The wheels don't leave traces for more than a month, and the miles are Steppenwolf's territory...... We followed the ruts, and if nothing else, we were likely to meet the gold diggers; If something happens, you're likely to meet gold diggers who have been eaten by wolves and have only bones left; But whether there is an accident or not, whether the gold diggers die or not, we may find an off-road vehicle. ”

If there is an off-road vehicle in the wilderness Gobi, then everything can be done with half the effort.

Everyone involuntarily sped up the pace for the sake of the off-road vehicle.

Gradually.

Soon.

Unconsciously.

The sun has the intention of setting in the west, and at 17:12 p.m., the temperature is getting cooler.

"Emma, Chief Liang, take a break, rest a while!"

Ye Qiu drank a few large mouthfuls of mineral water, the beads of sweat on his forehead were as big as beans, after a long journey of several hours, his physical strength was finally exhausted, and he was caressing the rock wall at this time, panting heavily, and he couldn't get up anymore.

"Ye Qiu, you let me down, I feel much better, I can walk by myself."

Zhou Yi was no longer embarrassed to let Ye Qiu suffer, so he jumped off Ye Qiu's back, and after landing on the ground, he walked back and forth safely, and said with pain: "Look, I'm fine." ”

Liang Yi took off his backpack and threw it to Ye Qiu and said, "You carry it," and pulled it over and put it directly on his shoulders and said, "I'll carry her." Keep going. ”

"Chief Liang, if you let me down, I can go by myself......" Zhou Yi said embarrassedly.

"Shh......h Don't be noisy, the wolf is coming. Liang Yi reminded.

Ye Qiu's brows tightened: "The wolf is coming?" ”

Liang Yi said softly: "The wind has risen, bringing wolf commotion. taste, not far, very close. ”

Ye Qiu raised his nose, sniffed lightly with the breeze, and after a moment, he slowly spoke: "I smell it, 600m away, a large number of wolves are rushing to the valley." ”

Liang Yi said: "We found them, and they should have discovered us too." We don't trouble them, they come to us. ”

Ye Qiu lifted his backpack and began to trot with Liang Yi.

The Valley of the River Bed is by no means a place to defend and fight, and on the contrary, it can be flanked by wolves. The only places on the Gobi that are easy to defend and difficult to attack are the broken walls left by hills and ruins.

Liang Yi and Ye Qiu's speed is getting faster and faster, just because of the wolf. The flavors are getting closer, they're running, they're running!

The riverbed valley is surrounded by towering hills with a drop of at least 3 to 40 meters, steep and steep, and loose rocks.

Liang Yi suddenly stopped under a rock wall with a relatively steep slope and a relatively large height, and asked Ye Qiu:

"Climb up, okay?"

The slope is not shaky but there are 7-80 degrees, the height is not high, at least 25 or 6 meters, one foot in the air, slide down, fall, not die or semi-crippled.

"Of course I can, I'm afraid that you can't do it, Sir Liang!"

Ye Qiu tied the backpack quilt around his waist, moved his muscles twice, and began to climb the rock with his bare hands! Because of the blessing of misfortune, his quality in all aspects has indeed been greatly improved, a distance of dozens of meters, in one breath, 30 seconds straight to the top of the hill.

"Woohoo? No problem! Hurry up, Sir Liang—"

Ye Qiu turned around and was about to show off proudly, but Liang Yi had already quietly fallen in front of him, and Zhou Yi on his back couldn't help but open his mouth wide and said, "Fly...... Fly the cornices and walk the wall! ”

"Whew!"

The wolf did come, just at the moment when Liang Yi had just climbed to the top of the hill. More than 30 light gray steppenwolves appeared on the other side of the valley together, with a thin and slender body, sharp and sharpened fangs, and murderous and bloodthirsty eyes, but there was no regret at all, it seemed that for them, finding a "big meal" was equivalent to having a "big meal".

"We're being targeted." Liang Yi frowned.

"How capable can a group of wolf cubs be?"

Ye Qiu picked up a stone and smashed it at the wolves on the other side of the riverbank, but the head was on target, and the strength was so great, it just happened to hit the head of a steppenwolf-"Woo woo! There were two wails in the empty valley, and Steppenwolf fell down and never got up again. Stoned to death.

"Haha, without a sniper rifle, I can't imagine that throwing stones is so accurate! See that I don't stone you to death! ”

Ye Qiu picked up two more stones, aimed at the two steppenwolves at random and smashed them hard, this time only hitting a "two in one", but in terms of momentum, he had already deterred the wolves.

"Whew!"

A wolf howl, like a signal to retreat, slowly withdrew from the riverbank.

"Humph! A beast is a beast! Ye Qiu patted the dust on his hands, looking like a general who had won a battle.

"Have you noticed that when they retreat, they don't turn and flee, but stare at you viciously, intently, step by step?" Liang Yi asked.

Ye Qiu frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

Liang Yi said: "Wolves are very grudgeful animals, if you kill their partners, they will mark you with their eyes, and then follow you, find you, kill you, and eat you." ”

Ye Qiu rubbed his nose and said that he was not afraid that it was fake, but he couldn't lose his courage in front of Zhou Yi, and said disdainfully: "Come one, I'll kill one, come a group, I'll kill a group, kitchen knife in hand, who am I afraid of?" ”

Liang Yi shook his head and sighed lightly: "Tonight, I didn't sleep peacefully...... Let's go, while they haven't bypassed the valley yet, let's first find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and occupy the right time, place, and people. ”

At intervals along the banks of the river, you can see the ruins of the wind-eroded soil, and the vast architectural ruins show that the people who lived in the river were very rich before the river dried up.

"Chief Liang, do you think there are any antiques in these ruins, treasures or something?"

Ye Qiu suddenly stopped in front of a stone building, compared to the ruins that have been "kneaded" by the years, this 7 or 8m high stone building is as proud as standing out from the crowd.

Liang Yi shook his head and said: "This is not an ancient building, you can know it by looking at the stones, and it is not a building in the modern 2 or 30 years...... I don't know much about recent history and I'm not sure what it does, but it's certain that not only is there no treasure in it, but there are also a lot of deadly poisons. ”

Ye Qiu, who just wanted to try his luck in there, quickly retracted his steps, swallowed his saliva, and continued to follow Liang Yi: "Then Chief Liang, are there anything more valuable in these broken walls?" ”

"The ruins themselves are of archaeological value, except that they are left by ordinary people living in the riverside basin. In addition to cattle and sheep, where are the ordinary people have any treasures, scriptures and wonderful texts? The cultural relics are not of great value, and the historical value is not high,"

Liang Yi pointed to a group of ruins about 3 or 400 meters away in front of him, and said: "There is a dense complex of buildings there, which may be a nearby market, or a 'villa mansion' of a wealthy family, or a religious building such as a temple. ”

"Sir Liang, you are really a living map in the Gobi, even if you don't know anything, you can guess it by your own reasoning." Zhou Yi couldn't help the praise in his heart.

Liang Yi smiled slightly, anyone who has lived for 2,000 years should precipitate some wisdom, he said slowly: "I guess where should be the remains of a temple, maybe Master Xuanzang in the past still stayed there." ”

Ye Qiu was puzzled: "Tang Seng in Journey to the West?" ”

Liang Yi shook his head and said: "Journey to the West is a novel written based on Xuanzang's western behavior, the degree of restoration is only 3 percent, 40 percent, Master Xuanzang is one person and one horse, across the entire Gobi Desert, his inspirational spirit is also the driving force for me to walk in this long yellow sand land,"

He compared his hand to the east, turned a route in the sky, and introduced with a smile: "If our current timeline coincides with Master Xuanzang, maybe we can meet him on this avenue and discuss some esoteric philosophies." ”

Ye Qiu and Zhou Yi just listened quietly, listening to the sound of the wind passing by their ears, listening to Liang Yi tell those past stories, feeling the influence of history and culture, and at the same time making up the picture of the prosperity of the ruins thousands of years ago.

In the face of the past history, people have a sense of righteous indignation and pride, splendid mountains and rivers, bright and prosperous, the wisdom, thoughts, and culture of the ancients not only coincided with the time, but also passed down to the present day...... This is also the reason why the blood relatives of various ethnic groups in China are close, and this is also the reason why people always return to their roots and recognize their ancestors.

"But why do I want to cry, Sir Liang?" When Zhou Yi heard these stories, she burst into tears for some reason.

"Look where." Liang Yi raised his hand and pointed to the west.

The wind swept the yellow sand, the vast ancient road, and it was rare to see the goshawk circling the sky, as if flying with the sunset...... The sunset gradually slanted to the west, burning the red flowing clouds, stirring the wind and sand, and ushering in dusk.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river!

These eight words are the best way to describe the scenery before dusk.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

These eight words are the best way to describe the mood after dusk.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the ruins seem to be even more dilapidated, so dilapidated that they are about to become a grain of sand in the Gobi, in fact, they will always become a grain of sand in the Gobi - in the long river of history and time, everything in the world is just a drop in the ocean.

"What are you crying about? Smoker not? I haven't been to the Maldives to open the sunrise on the sea, isn't it quite romantic for me to accompany you to the Gobi to watch the sunset? ”

Ye Qiu handed the cigarette butt to Zhou Yi, who was silently sobbing on his shoulder, he could always create romance at the right time with the right idea. Zhou Yi scolded: "I hate it!" Opened Ye Qiu's hand, but his head snuggled more steadily.

Liang Yi took a cigarette in his mouth, embarrassed to disturb this pair of lovers who were not lovers but could enjoy romance, and turned away silently, his shadow stretched so long in the sunset, longer than the shadow of the ancient ruins...... for he may have outlived these princes.

Who has the years bypassed? The years have not bypassed him!
