Chapter 8: Windfall

The hardest thing about traveling in the desert is meeting a fellow traveler, and under normal circumstances, no one would be happy to run to this kind of death zone, except for those who like to find excitement and love adventure. Qiao Benliang thought that he had met his peers, and he came to take a photo with joy, but he didn't expect it to be this scene.

"Mom, it's horrible!" Chen Jie was too frightened to open his eyes to see, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, "Brother Liang, let's get out of this place quickly, it's so scary!" ”

It was the first time Qiao Benliang had encountered this kind of thing, and it would be nonsense to say that he was not afraid, but he couldn't just turn around and leave and pretend to turn a blind eye. Human lives matter! So many people died at once, and I don't know what caused it, but as a citizen, since you have encountered it, you have to report it to the state.

"No! Chubby, we can't just leave, I'm going to call the police! Qiao Benliang took out his mobile phone and decided to notify the police to deal with the matter.

Chen Jie said on the side: "Even if you call the police to come, if people want to ask you to record a confession." You'll be in trouble then! ”

"What's the trouble? We are the discoverers, the first to see the dead bodies here, call the police, inform them to deal with it, can we still suspect that we did the case? ”

"Oh, if you don't listen to my advice, then you just wait and see, it's going to be a tough thing anyway!"

Qiao Benliang didn't pay attention to Chen Jie anymore, and still called the police to inform him.

When the two of them were outside to inspect the situation, they suddenly heard a noise coming from inside a tent, which immediately aroused Qiao Benliang's vigilance, and he immediately rushed in first.

Inside the tent was a young man, who looked to be in his early twenties, his eyes closed in agony, and his face was distorted and almost deformed. "Little brother, can you tell me what's going on here?" Qiao Benliang walked over and squatted down and asked the young man.

"Water...... I'm going to drink...... Drink! The young man's lips were chapped and he spoke in a very weak voice.

Qiao Benliang shouted outside: "Little fatty, hurry up and bring my kettle in!" ”

After a while, Chen Jie came to the tent with a kettle: "Ah! Is there another living one here? He handed the kettle to Qiao Benliang. Come, Chubby, you come and hold him up for me, and I'll give him some water. ”

After the young man drank a few sips of water, he immediately became energetic, and slowly opened his eyes and looked at the two strangers in front of him: "Thank you!" ”

Qiao Benliang asked, "What's your name?" Why did you come to this place? What's going on here? ”

The young man said: "My name is Zhang Shuai, I am a waiter of the Beijing Car Club, and this time I came to Loulan Ancient City to play with the convoy. There were sixteen of us in total, ten men and six women; Last night, we caught an unnamed animal here, and President Wang Peng slaughtered it and made a barbecue. No one thought that the flesh of this animal was poisonous, and everyone was poisoned to death after eating it! ”

"Then why are you alright?" Chen Jie asked.

Zhang Shuai smiled bitterly and continued: "It's also my fate, in fact, I discovered this animal first, and I was taken aback by it." Because I saw that it looked so strange, and there was a green light in its eyes, I thought it was some kind of monster, and I was frightened, so I lost my appetite and ate only a little bit of meat, so I was lucky enough to save my life. ”

When Qiao Benliang heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel very curious, so he asked: "Just now you said that this animal looks very strange, like a monster, so can you describe what it looks like?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Shuai nodded, thought about it carefully, and said: "At first glance, this animal looks very much like a goat, but it has a hump on its waist, and it looks a bit like a camel, but it has two horns on its head, which is completely different." According to President Wang, this animal is called an alpaca, and some people say that it is an alpaca, so they eat it as a game barbecue. ”

Qiao Benliang's heart was shocked, and he thought to himself: Isn't this monster exactly the type recorded in the ancient books, and it is also very similar to the bronze statue that Xiaopang picked up, it turns out that the legendary things really exist in real life!

At this time, Chen Jie opened his mouth and said, "Brother Liang, why is this monster he said a little similar to me picking up that thing?" ”

Qiao Benliang tapped Chen Jie's head with his finger: "You are really a pig brain, think about it, isn't it similar, it's exactly the same!" It's certainly not an alpaca, and it's not an alpaca, it's an ancient animal! ”

"Ancient ......? What do you mean? Zhang Shuai's eyes widened, not understanding what Qiao Benliang was talking about.

Chen Jie rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, patted his thigh and said, "Hey! Look at my memory! Is it written on the bundle of bamboo slips, in this place of the ancient country of Loulan, there used to be some Qilu people, so this four dislikes should also be animals in ancient times, this is right! ”

However, what made Qiao Benliang feel incomprehensible was that those He Lu people lived in a long time ago, because of the catastrophe that all the people disappeared, if these four are not like the animals of the time of the Qi Lu people, then, why did they suddenly appear here?

Besides, near the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, in addition to poplar forests, sand willows, saxons, wild camels, lynxes, goose-throated gazelles and other common things, I have never heard of such a strange-looking animal here.

If these four dissimilarities are really something from ancient times, could it be that time travel has happened? The four are all back, so where are the Lu people?

"I really don't understand what the two of you say, why do you get more confused the more you listen?" Zhang Shuai looked at the two people in front of him with strange eyes, his body was very weak, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his stomach.

Qiao Benliang chuckled lightly and said to Zhang Shuai: "Brother Zhang Shuai, you won't understand, I can only say this to you, what you see, it is not what should exist in real life!" How are you feeling now? ”

"The fire in my stomach is burning, and I am so uncomfortable!"

Chen Jie shook his head and sighed: "Alas! Brother Liang, it seems that it is better not to eat this game in the future, and if you don't do it, you will take your life! ”

"Excuse me, two big brothers, what are you doing? How did you get to this place? ”

Qiao Benliang coughed lightly and replied: "That's the case, I'm surnamed Qiao, my name is Benliang, and I can be regarded as an adventure lover; This is my companion, his name is Chen Jie, and he is here mainly to find treasures in the area of the ancient city of Loulan. ”

"Also," Chen Jie said with a smile: "I heard that a female corpse has been unearthed here in the ancient city of Loulan, it has been dead for thousands of years, and the corpse has not yet decomposed, it seems to be called something...... Oh, yes, it's called "Little River Princess", and she looks pretty energetic! ”

Qiao Benliang glared at him and reprimanded: "You dead fat man, what are you thinking about all day long?" It's a little straight, isn't it? To respect the ancients who have passed away, and to have a sense of reverence for the ancients, this is the minimum etiquette for a descendant! ”

Zhang Shuai gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "Brother Qiao, you spoke so well!" Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! ”

Towards the end of the evening, a few police cars came, and the police officers who led the team inquired about the cause and effect of the incident, made a careful and careful record, and then asked a few policemen to deal with the scene, took Zhang Shuai and left.

Qiao Benliang's heart lingered with a huge question mark: Why did these people eat the flesh of this animal and die of poisoning? Why do these people die when their bodies become dried corpses?
