Chapter 3: The Story of a Few Years Ago
In the desert at night, there are many fires, and the convoy makes fires here to rest and set up camp. Dinner was almost done, and many people sat around the flames and ate dinner, some of them in tents or cars.
Bai Ling clasped his arms in both hands, shivered and walked down, walked to Zilingfei's fire, sat down, Zilingfei saw Bai Ling coming, didn't say anything, while chewing the food in his mouth, picked up a piece of bread and handed it to Bai Ling.
After Bai Ling took it, he said "thank you", then ate it, and then, while chewing, he said inarticulately: "It's really cold at night in this desert. ”
"Well, so it's best to put the sleeping bag tightly when you go to bed at night, and it's best to sleep early, otherwise you will have to be woken up by the heat during the day, and the taste is definitely enough for you." Ziling Fei said, the food in his mouth had been swallowed. After Bai Ling finished eating the bread again, he took another piece and drank another sip of water by the way.
Bai Ling drank a lot of water today, and just after drinking this sip, he hurriedly looked at Lin Xian with concern and asked, "Xiao Xian, how long will we stay in the desert with the water and food we brought this time?" ”
"If there are no accidents, it will be fine for two weeks, and the car will have spare gasoline." Lin instantly replied.
"Two weeks ....." Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, in this time, it should be no problem to complete the task, even if it is no problem, it is enough to leave the desert, so after he finished eating the bread in his hand, he raised his head and looked at the little stars above the desert.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, someone came from the side, and everyone looked at it, only to see that it was Uncle Chen. With a cigarette in his hand, Chen Nuo walked to their fire, sat down, and took a deep puff of the cigarette.
Zilingfei replied: "We are chatting, then again, Uncle Chen, what do you think Loulan can leave here?" Need us to send so many people? ”
As soon as this question was asked, Bai Ling and Lin Xian. Zhao Yuchu, as well as the other two people next to him, also looked at Chen Nuo. Faced with this question, after Chen Nuo spat out the smoke cloud, he shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, you, you are direct." ”
"No way, I'm used to it." Zi Lingfei said with a smile, when he first joined the alliance, it was Chen Nuo who brought him to grow up.
"Let's rest more, we have to conserve our physical strength in the desert, because we don't know when, we may need it at any time, and the Loulan ruins are probably not that simple." Chen Nuo said, and Bai Ling on the side, after hearing the words, asked keenly: "Uncle Chen, do you feel that you seem to know something?" ”
Chen Nuo looked at Bai Ling, Bai Ling was also familiar to him, Bai Ling's father, Bai Kaifeng's father, and him, the three of them, initially and a few other people, were all tomb robbers, they were a team.
Chen Nuo looked at everyone again and said, "I do know something, but I'm not sure, and it doesn't hurt to talk to you in advance." ”
"Listen up." Bai Lingdao officially entered the audience mode.
Several other people around also came over, more than a dozen people were ready to listen, and Chen Nuo immediately smoked a cigarette and said: "This is already before the establishment of the Tomb Breaking Alliance, back then, Bai Ling's father and others were looking for clues about a Northern Wei tomb on the side of the Loulan Ruins, and in the end, the clues of the Northern Wei Dynasty tomb were not found, but in a dead tree hole near the ruins, a pair of white bones were found. ”
"White bones?" Zi Lingfei was puzzled.
"Well, according to the traces of white bones and dead trees, the white bones should have existed for a long time, but the dead trees should have begun to dry up in the past hundred years, and in the tree hole, in addition to the white bones, there is also a bamboo slip, the content on the bamboo slip has been blurred a lot because of the age, but there is a paragraph in it, but it is still relatively clear."
"What's this?" Bai Ling asked curiously, and the people around him were also waiting with great anticrity for what Chen Nuo was going to say next.
Chen Nuo took another puff of cigarette and spit out the cloud of smoke before he said, "Whew..... We took the bamboo slips back and maintained them, and then, Kaifeng's father, translated the only clear content left on the bamboo slips, and the ancient text of the bamboo slips reads...... Ten years, Shanshan revival is hopeful, you take it with you immediately. That's all there is to it. ”
"Shanshan? What does that mean? One of the audience wondered.
"You're stupid, this is Loulan's alias." Said a man next to him.
Chen Nuo smoked a cigarette and said: "There are actually a lot of contents on this bamboo slip, but the others can not be recovered, we don't know what the complete content on this bamboo slip is, however, there are two things that can be determined, first, it can be confirmed from this bamboo slip that after Loulan was destroyed, there are still descendants of Loulan alive, and they have existed for at least ten years." ”
After Chen Nuo took a puff of cigarette, he continued: "Second, this bamboo slip should be the white bone, and he wanted to send it to someone else when he was alive, at least, this bamboo slip died in the tree hole before it was sent." ”
After everyone listened, they began to talk in a whisper, and Zi Lingfei looked at Chen Nuo and asked directly: "That..... Uncle Chen, do you mean that this letter is related to the underground ruins we are looking for? ”
"Well, my guess is that this bamboo letter was not sent from the underground ruins, but must have been sent to the underground ruins from somewhere else." Chen Nuo said, at this time, the cigarette in his hand was almost burned in his hand, Chen Nuo immediately threw it on the sand, got up and stepped on it.
"Okay, the bedtime story is over, let's rest early, it's okay to go to bed not so early, but don't be too tired." After Chen Nuo finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the side, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and took out a cigarette again.
Chen Nuo went to the side to smoke, and the others also dispersed, each choosing their own way of resting. And Bai Ling also stood up, patted his clothes, and said, "I'll go see the scenery again, and I'll sleep later." ”
"Don't catch a cold, it's very windy in the desert." Lin Xiandao.
"Got it." Bai Ling gestured with scissor hands, and then walked back up the sand slope.
Zi Lingfei propped his hands on the sand behind him, let out a sigh, looked up at the starry sky, and Lin on the side saw this and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just emotion, and I'm in a good mood." Zilingfei smiled, and after speaking, he also stood up, bent down and took a piece of bread and a bottle of water, and said, "I'm going to sleep, I'll sleep after eating, haha, happy." ”
