Chapter 10: Warriors in the Wild
Qiao Benliang came to the strong man and asked sharply, "What are you sneaking in front of my car and trying to do?" ”
Looking up, I saw that the man was carrying a big backpack on his shoulders, with a burly and strong body, and his age was estimated to be in his early forties, with a shaved peach-shaped head, a round face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, wide ears, a high nose bridge, a lion's mouth, and swarthy skin. ”
Hey! This person is cheeky enough, he has been caught and revealed, and he still doesn't admit it! Qiao Benliang pointed to the thing he was holding in his hand: "You are holding an iron rod, aren't you going to pry my car door?" ”
At this time, Chen Jie also ran over, panting in his mouth: "Brother Liang, this is ...... Is this kid a car thief? When the strong man heard this, he was a little unhappy, and his eyes widened and shouted: "Little fat man, don't talk nonsense there, be careful that I beat you!" ”
"Yo ho! You're so bold! Come on, you can beat me up! "Young people, they are angry, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they can't listen to other people's big words.
The strong man sneered a few times, crossed his waist with one hand, and pointed at the tip of Chen Jie's nose with the other: "Boy, brother, I'm not bragging to you, don't say it's easy to beat you alone, even if the two of you come up together, I will also take it all!" ”
Chen Jie did not show weakness, and stepped forward to make a move with the man: "Brother Liang, it seems that this guy is quite cross, can we still be afraid of him?" Beat him! ”
The fat man wants to fight with others, but Qiao Benliang is not a reckless person, he is a well-bred person, of course, he has to restrain his emotions, so he stopped his brother and said: "Little fat, don't be impulsive, everything is peaceful!" ”
"People have bullied us, you are still there to write crepe, is it useful?"
"Do you still listen to my brother? Don't force it, don't you? When you go out, don't always make trouble, if a gentleman can not do it, he will not do it, let's convince people with reason! ”
Qiao Benliang first stabilized Chen Jie, then turned around and said to the strong man: "This friend, since you said that you didn't touch my things, then, you can explain, why are you standing next to my car?" Besides, isn't the iron rod you hold in your hand a tool for picking doors and locking them? ”
When the strong man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out: "Hahaha, it seems that you are really a layman, brother!" He held up the object in his hand, "Anyone in the know knows that the scientific name of this thing is "metal detector", not "iron rod" as you say. Brother, you really misunderstood me, I am a person who likes to hunt for treasures, and I came here from Lop Nur on the north bank of the Peacock River. ”
"I've been walking in the desert for a long time, and I haven't met a single person, so how can I not be excited when I finally see a car parked here? I walked to the front of the car, I wanted to say hello to the people in the car, but who knew that you would treat me like a thief! ”
It was really a misunderstanding, Qiao Benliang was a little embarrassed and said to the strong man: "I'm really sorry, I blame you!" I don't know where this brother came from? Honorable name, huh? ”
The strong man said: "My hometown is Qingdao, Shandong, my surname is Lu, and my name is Nengda. Where are you two? ”
Qiao Benliang replied: "My surname is Qiao, my name is Benliang, this is my good friend - Chen Jie, we are from Luocheng, Henan." Then, he patted Chen Jie's shoulder with his hand, "Little fatty, why are you stunned?" Say hello to Brother Lu! ”
Chen Jie barely squeezed out a smile at this time, and raised his hand at Lunengda: "Hey! Hello, Brother Lu! This name is very distinctive, can it be big or small? ”
Lunengda didn't get angry when he heard this, he just smiled and said: "Little brother, let me correct you, my name is Nengda, "can" is the ability to be able, "Da" is the ability to arrive, my parents gave me it, and I didn't recruit wow!" ”
"Brother Lu, in fact, it seems that you have a very good personality and have the bold characteristics of Shandong people! Brother just made a joke with you, don't mind, actually, many people will call me Chubby. ”
"Oh? Hahaha! Lunengda stepped forward and shook hands with Qiao Benliang and Chen Jie, "I also have a nickname, my travelers will call me "Wild Warrior", this name is cool, right?" May I ask the two of you, came to the ancient city of Loulan, is it for treasure hunting or playing? ”
Qiao Benliang thought to himself: how to answer his question? His purpose is already very clear, he came out to find treasures, and my goal is to solve the puzzle of history.
Then, Qiao Benliang pretended to be mysterious and said, "Brother Lu, in your opinion, what will we be here for?" ”
Lunengda took a look at the outfits of the two, they were so dressed up and down, their hair was combed so smoothly, and their thin skin and tender flesh did not look like a person who often showed his head. "Ah, hahaha, judging from my personal feelings, the two brothers should have come to see the scenery, right?"
"Brother Lu, good eyesight, let you guess correctly!" Qiao Benliang glanced at Chen Jie and signaled him not to say too much, so as not to show his mouth, "Little fatty, isn't the scenery of the ancient city of Loulan very beautiful?" ”
Chen Jie didn't think so, and thought that this Lunengda person was good, so he told him the truth, what is there to hide? "Ouch, Brother Liang, where is the scenery here? Isn't it just a few broken walls, a few broken logs, and a few graves where the dead are buried! Brother Lu, you should be very familiar with this place, have you ever heard the story of the Lu people? ”
"Helu people?" Lunengda shook his head, "It's the first time I've heard of it, what's going on with this Lu man?" ”
Qiao Benliang glared at Chen Jie fiercely, and hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, don't listen to his nonsense there!" ”
However, Chen Jie still took matters into his own hands and continued: "Let me tell you the truth, Brother Lu, we came to the ancient city of Loulan this time to find the legendary Qilu people. ”
"Oh?" Lunengda was a little puzzled, he glanced at Chen Jie, and then at Qiao Benliang, "Two brothers, I still haven't understood the meaning of this, can you say it in more detail?" ”
It seems that the matter has come to this point, and it will not work if you don't talk about it, Qiao Benliang had no choice but to tell the truth: "I didn't plan to say these words, but anyone who listens to them will think that it is a fantasy and a story that is too untenable." The situation is like this, there is an ancient book that records that in ancient times, Loulan was inhabited by the Qilu tribe, creating a highly developed social system; These people were tall and strong, with three eyes, and later disappeared into the long river of history due to natural disasters. ”
"I'm a person who likes to look for excitement, and out of curiosity, I came here to try my luck and hope to find the relics left by the Lu."
Lunengda was not too interested in those distant things, but he was a little puzzled by the young man in front of him: "Brother Qiao, you shouldn't hide these things from my brother, besides, what I like is treasure hunting, you are obsessed with historical stories, there is no reason for conflict between us, you let me know, maybe I will help you do what I can!" ”
Qiao Benliang smiled bitterly and explained: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but because whoever hears such a story will treat it as a joke after dinner." Now that you know my intentions, then, Brother Lu, can you tell me if there is an animal that looks like an alpaca in this area of Loulan Ancient City? ”
Lunengda still shook his head: "No! I haven't heard of any of these things you're talking about. If you want to ask me what are the strange things in Lop Nur, then I can tell you some of them, such as the mystery of Pengamu's disappearance, the mystery of the Pisces jade pendant, and the mystery of the ear of the earth...... And so on and so forth, but I had never heard of any other legend of the Hislu, or the Three-Eyed Monster. ”
"Brother Lu, when we came here yesterday, we encountered a very terrible thing, more than a dozen people from the car club caught a strange-looking animal, slaughtered it, made it into barbecue and ate it, died miserably, and finally turned into a dried corpse. There was only one survivor among these people who witnessed it all with his own eyes, and he told me! ”
"Oh?" Lunengda's mouth opened wide, he looked at Qiao Benliang, it didn't look like he was making up a story, and a slight coolness swelled in his heart, "There can be such a terrible thing?" ”
