It turned out that there were only five people, I don't know if the driver counts, but seeing that he didn't come down, it shouldn't be the archaeological team, I was thinking about it, the old man had already stepped forward with a smile and shook Ah Chuan's hand: "You are Mr. Mo, in Xia Zhang Zhongkui, from the Ancient Ruins Research and Protection Institute, these are my four students, Wang Ze, Wang Yiming, Sun Kai, and Liu Dongqing." ”

"It's under you," Ah Chuan smiled clearly, "I've heard of Professor Zhang's name for a long time, you can just call me Ah Chuan, I am very familiar with this desert, although I have never seen that ruin, but this time I looked at the map, it is not far from the place I am familiar with, so leave it to us." ”

I'm holding back a smile in the back, and I've heard about the big name, and I can guarantee that he didn't even know his surname before this Professor Zhang spoke, and he was familiar with the road or something, and he was even more involved in the sky, and if I wanted to talk nonsense like this, I was afraid that I would not be able to do it in my life.

"Thank you very much," Professor Zhang smiled wrinkled and looked at us, "I don't know if these are—"

"Let me introduce, this is Professor Zhao, a geologist, these two-"

"Poof-" Before Ah Chuan finished speaking, Lao Huang couldn't hold back his laughter, and seeing Professor Zhang's puzzled look, Lao Huang quickly turned his back and coughed one after another, pretending to choke inadvertently.

I half-opened my mouth and only felt that my face was stiff, which one was this singing, I didn't tell me the script yesterday, Professor Zhang's hand was stretched over, and I could only stiffly stretch out my hand and shake it.

"Professor Zhao doesn't look like he's thirty years old, right? You're really young and promising, I don't know where you are tall? Professor Zhang's eyes were burning, and he looked like he had met a confidant.

Nima! I didn't know anything but scolding Ah Chuan in my heart, and it took a long time before I spoke: "I've been abroad all these years, and this time I happened to return to China for an investigation, and I wanted to go and see it when I heard about it......"

"It turns out that you are abroad, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, I also know a lot of foreign geological experts, I have never seen such a young person as you, okay, okay, this time with your help, our investigation will be smoother."

"Hehe, yes, thanks to you, I can go, otherwise I wouldn't have this opportunity......" I said, he finally let go of my hand, what I said was not a lie, if it wasn't for the archaeological team, I wouldn't have been able to participate in this mission.

"These two are accompanying bodyguards, Lao Huang and Xiao Qi, there are occasional wolves and snakes in the desert, specially called in order to ensure everyone's safety, don't worry, they are all my acquaintances, reliable."

"Hello, hello." Professor Zhang smiled and shook hands with Lao Huang Xiaoqi one by one.

"Without further ado, we don't waste everyone's time, we have prepared camels and necessary tools, and if there is any equipment to move down, we will carry them on our camels." Ah Chuan said.

As soon as Ah Chuan's words fell, the student named Sun Kai spoke, with a little impatience in his voice: "Camel? Why not go by car? How long do you have to walk with a camel. ”

"Sun Kai, I'll listen to the arrangement here," Professor Zhang said, then turned his head to Ah Chuan and smiled, "These children have never been to the desert and don't know the situation here, so please bear with me if you have anything." ”

"That's," Ah Chuan smiled and patiently explained, "The situation in the desert is not as good as outside, there are many quicksand in the area we are going to, once the car is stuck in it, it is impossible to get out, and recently it is a time when sandstorms are frequent, there are often strong winds, and the car can be buried after a few hours of blowing, and it is safer to use camels." ”

When it came to this, Sun Kai naturally couldn't say a word, his face was blue and white for a while, and he was not convinced, Ah Chuan smiled and didn't say anything, but Professor Zhang opened his mouth: "Everything is up to your arrangement." ”

The students didn't say much, and moved out the things in the two off-road vehicles, two detachable camping tents, and some archaeological tools, and medical kits, but they were obviously a few grades worse than the Mo family, but the wilderness survival tools were quite complete, and they also carried a bag on their backs, and they didn't know what they were loading.

Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi tied all these things to the camel, their knots are very unique, Lao Huang and I can't learn, we can only hand things on the side, these students are good, none of them come to help, one by one hippie smiling faces muttered, not like archaeology, but like tourism.

Lao Huang couldn't stand it anymore, and rolled his eyes with a black face at this moment: "This is from archaeology, at first glance, it is a group of finished goods who are dragging their feet, if you really make a fuss on your own, don't expect Lao Tzu to save it." ”

Ah Chuan's polite smile had long since turned into mockery: "Thank God for not having a female student." ”

The muttering of the two of them fell into my ears word for word, Xiao Qi didn't say anything, but obviously didn't like this group of chattering guys, I turned my head to look, only to see that they were more looking at Xiao Qi, and pointing.

Fortunately, Lao Huang didn't see it, otherwise I don't know how big a surge it would be, this group of students is not bad, but more curious, at first glance, they are pampered, and I am afraid that this action will be affected.

I couldn't help sighing, seeing Ah Chuan go to the other side to tie up the equipment, and hurriedly went over to help him, he saw that it was me, and immediately laughed: "It's quite clever, I think you can say it better than anyone else." ”

Mom/yes, I haven't asked him for the guilt, but he brought it up himself, and my anger immediately came up, and I couldn't scold him, so I could only frown and speak: "You just talk nonsense, the little things I learned before have already been returned to the school, in case you can't say anything when you ask me along the way, won't we be exposed." ”

"Don't be so nervous, what's there to ask in the desert, even if you really ask, they are also a group of laymen, you make up two sentences and it's over, you can't hear it left and right, there are foreign experts pressing on the head, even if it's really wrong, they can still shout loudly?" The more Agawa talked and laughed, the more he laughed, as if he had really seen that scene.

I secretly made a middle finger in my heart, I shouldn't have talked to him about this, he wanted to see my jokes in the morning, and now he did what he wanted.

The equipment was quickly packed, Ah Chuan led the camel to the northwest, there is a large poplar forest, the canopy is very dense, in fact, the gap between the trunks is at least three or five meters, interspersed can always find a way, he held a compass in his other hand, and looked down from time to time.

The compass of the Mo family is completely different from what I have in my impression, the base is depicted with a gossip compass, a bit like the fortune teller's set of things, dense and difficult to distinguish, and only Ah Chuan can understand, I walk, and I can't help but think of Uncle Yuan and them, and I don't know what happened to them.

Once I think about these things, it's endless, he originally arranged for Xiao Qi to follow us, I still can't figure it out, now I think about it, maybe it's because Xiao Qi doesn't have A, I made a special observation yesterday, and everyone in the conference room has A except for Xiao Qi.

Thinking of Xiao Qi, Mo Feixiao is naturally indispensable, she also has no armor, Ah Chuan has long told me that the women of the Mo family are not allowed to have, and she does not have Xiao Qi's skills, so she stays in the branch to guard the door, but unfortunately I have never seen her, guarding the door is never a good errand, especially her lively character, I am afraid it is difficult to sit still.

I don't know if that person has made any moves, Uncle Yuan, they have been away for nearly twenty hours, will they have already arrived at the ruins? I thought to myself, and then I realized that I didn't know how far I was going this time.

"Ah Chuan, where is that place, how long do we have to go?" I asked.

Ah Chuan didn't hide it: "If there is no accident, it will be five days, and it will be difficult to say if there is an accident." ”

Five days! My heart tightened, this has been too long, no wonder they have to pay attention to the movements of the archaeological team, if we are not watching, they are likely to go to the front of the large army, and then there will be that person mixed in, this archaeological team is afraid that there will be no return.

They must not go in, even if there is no person to get in the way, this ruins is not a place they can set foot in, I was worried that what we were looking for would be taken away by them first, but now when I see this archaeological team, I only feel that they can't even see the shadow of the ruins by their own strength, even if they know the exact location, it is useless, these people don't look like they can hold on to there at all.

I became depressed, in fact, we can ignore them, they are not a threat at all, I squinted slightly at Ah Chuan, he must have thought so in his heart, we are afraid that we will not be able to help the advance troops on this trip, more to protect these people, so as not to die in the desert.

Our actions are meaningless, but Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi didn't say much, I naturally have to carry it out, this is the errand I requested, even if it is useless, I can't blame others.

The poplar forest is close to the edge, the sand under my feet has become hot and heavy, and half of my foot will sink into the sand pit when I step on it, and it is so laborious to walk one step as I usually walk two steps, I look up and see a sea of sand in front of me, the white sand reflects the light in the sun, scorching my eyes like a mirror, and the earth seems to spit out all the heat that has accumulated for a long time, and the heat is steaming, which seems to be visible to the naked eye.

The air was distorted, my eyes were a little blurry, and I was so blurred that there was a white light in front of me, and I wanted to shed tears, like snow blindness, Ah Chuan found a pair of sunglasses out of nowhere and put them on, and handed me a pair casually, I quickly put them on to get better, it turned out that sand blindness and snow blindness are as terrible.

Ah Chuan reached out and took out another pair from a pocket hanging on the camel's body and handed it to me, I turned my head and handed it to Lao Huang, and then saw that Xiao Qi had already prepared and had put it on at this moment.

I looked back, only to see that the archaeological team also put on sunglasses and straw hats, they were very well prepared, even the desert environment was taken into account, these people are not only embroidered pillows, but also know something, I looked back at the sea of sand in front of me and couldn't help but retreat, as if one step forward is the abyss.
