Chapter 15: Fish Wear
The guide, Bahar, told Professor Wang that nearly two-thirds of the kerosene they were carrying had been used, and that from now on, unless it was an emergency, they could not use kerosene until night. Otherwise, the torches will not be lit in the future.
Professor Wang was a little helpless when he heard this, dealing with a corpse maggot consumed so much of his supplies, and also caused a situation where a student died, and Da Niu, Xiao Li and Han Dong were injured. And all this is just to get two round beads, and the price is too great.
After packing their luggage, the group continued on their way, aiming for Haitou, a place rumored to have been the most prosperous border town of Guloulan by the Peacock River.
"Patriotic, thank you very much for saving Weimin yesterday." Li Ping rode a camel, went hand in hand with Pang Weimin and Zhao Aiguo, and smiled gratefully at the latter.
"Look at what you said, who is with whom? You are his future daughter-in-law, and I am his brother for life. Besides, Wei Min didn't desperately save me later, it's not a thing. ”
Zhao Aiguo grinned. Indeed, they are brothers who have passed their lives. The three of them talked and laughed in front, followed by Liu Xiangdong, Huang Jiawei and Du Juan.
Liu Xiangdong regretted yesterday's cowardice at this time, why didn't he rush out? Even if it is dangerous for the opponent's big bugs to come out at the beginning, why don't you rush out when the winner is about to be decided at the end?
Although doing so will be laughed at by people like Du Juan, at least there is something to talk about with Li Ping. Now like this, he is not qualified to participate in the conversation between the three people in front of him, it is too cowardly. Moreover, Pang Weimin did not blame him, which made him even more embarrassed to interject.
He now clearly remembers that yesterday Li Ping almost begged him and Huang Jiawei to make a move, and his clear eyes were finally full of despair for himself.
There was even a layer of ripples in his eyes, and Liu Xiangdong now felt that although the ripples were crystal clear, they completely isolated him from her world.
Now that he was behind, he clearly saw Li Ping looking at Pang Weimin's attachment and sweetness, and cast Zhao Aiguo's admiring eyes, which made the five-flavor bottle in the heart of this handsome big boy be knocked over, shattering the jealousy and sourness on the ground.
Liu Xiangdong secretly made up his mind that if there was another time, he would definitely make a move! No, it is necessary to act at the right time, not to save others, but to save himself.
Du Juan wanted to care about Pang Weimin intimately, but he never seemed to pay attention to his own mind. On the contrary, she always let herself care more about Zhao Aiguo, which made her very depressed, and she really boiled the donkey's liver and lungs with a good heart.
But Pang Weimin's real girlfriend is here, and everyone is good friends, so she can't tear her face and start a war with Li Ping. Wait, there's always a chance.
Pang Weimin didn't pay attention to the psychological activities of several of his classmates, in addition to chatting with Li Ping and Zhao Aiguo, he still took out the yin and yang fish pendant from time to time to check the surrounding terrain and compare it with the place where his father disappeared.
"Weimin, what are you always watching?" Zhao Aiguo, who is always squinting, finally discovers Pang Weimin's secret.
"It's just a diary my father gave me." Pang Weimin shook a small worn notebook in his hand and said.
"Diary? What is written? Whether it's an adventure story or not, hurry up and listen to it. As soon as Zhao Aiguo heard this, he frowned, and the sleepy insect immediately flew away.
"You'll find out if you look at it." Pang Weimin handed the book to Zhao Aiguo. The latter happily took it, flipped through the small notebook, and his face turned into a bitter melon.
"Cut! What is this? I don't understand a word. ”
"That's bad, I'll tell you then."
"You tease me again, and if you don't play, I'll close my eyes and recuperate. You two continue to talk. ”
Pang Weimin put away the yin and yang fish pendant, and he also felt strange, what kind of beast pendant is it called when it is obviously a booklet? When I heard it, I thought it was a jade pendant worn around my neck or something.
But my father would never have given such a name for no reason, there must be some reason, but I don't know it yet.
Judging by his experience, his father was either an archaeologist or a tomb robber, the latter of which is extremely likely. For this judgment, Pang Weimin is always very repulsed in his heart, how can his father, who is infinitely admired by his size, be a spurned Tufuzi?
Because he had never seen his father bring back any spiritual artifacts from his home, nor did he know how rich his house was.
However, this booklet is definitely not simple, it is written in words that his father asked him to memorize when he was a child, and only he recognizes the approximate meaning. That is to say, the father is planning for a rainy day.
The content on the last page of the booklet is probably what Professor Wang needs for this trip. He has to keep this thing, it's his best hole card.
"The sea has arrived, so I'll camp here tonight. I've been here for the past few days, so let's find a good place to pitch a tent. Bahar, the guide, shouted, and the group soon stopped in front of a ruin.
"Wow, this ruin is spectacular!"
Seeing the ruins, Huang Jiawei, who was drowsy all the way, came to his senses, he was the first to turn over and get off the camel, holding a high-end seagull camera and constantly taking pictures around. Li Ping and Du Juan are naturally the best heroines.
Pang Weimin looked around, and also sighed at the ruins of this place that was once the confluence of the Tarim River, the Shule River, and the Peacock River, and the throat of the Silk Road.
It was once very prosperous, blooming with life, and after a thousand years, it reluctantly withdrew from the stage of history. Even though people have a thousand talents, individuals cannot stop the rolling torrent of history.
What was once the South Silk Road, full of yellow sand, and the vast waves of smoke and waves, all of this became lifeless fragments, leaving only the wind and the millennium of yellow sand raging.
There are also some dead trees, standing alone in the silent desert. Some ruins and ruins are intertwined in everything, all telling the glory of the past.
Under Bahar's guidance, the people set up their tents in a relatively flat place in the ruins, and after a big battle last night and a day's journey, everyone was very tired, and after burying the pot and cooking, they all went into their tents early to rest.
On a desert night, the moon shines in the sky.
The camels were tied around the tent by Bahar, in order to shield everyone from the night wind and to serve as a warning if something unexpected happened.
In the middle of the night, dark clouds rose and the sky became dark, the moonlight dimmed, and the night wind fluttered. The moonlight, which was bright and dark, made the ruins look ghostly, and if the cuckoo saw it, it would be frightened and screamed.
"Woo! Whining! ”
A faint cry wafted around the camp, giving goosebumps in the darkness of the night. The cuckoo was awakened by this voice, and quickly shook Li Ping on the side:
"Li Ping, what kind of sound is this, is someone crying?"
"In the wilderness of this no-man's land, no one is crying, hurry up and go to sleep."
"It's not a person crying, is it, is it a ghost crying?" The more Du Juan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and snuggled up to Li Ping tightly.
"Why, this is just the roundabout sound of the desert wind blowing through the ruins, due to the ruins, what the hell." Li Ping is a tyrant in literature, history and science.
Pang Weimin heard something, and the camel was a little restless! When he saw Zhao Aiguo's snoring, he didn't intend to disturb his sweet dream, and quietly got up with a dagger and walked out of the tent. At this moment, a sound and shadow flickered and disappeared into the darkness.
"Who!" Pang Weimin let out a low cry and chased down. The figure in front of him moved very fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was dozens of meters away.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Pang Weimin grabbed his hind foot and asked in a cold voice.
The figure covered his face, and the night was hazy, and he couldn't see it clearly. But the man didn't answer, and a right punch slammed into him.
Pang Weimin was not in a hurry, and swung his head sideways to avoid this punch. Who knows, this punch is a false move, and the real killer move is a left hand downpercut, which slammed into his chin.
Pang Weimin took out the dagger with his left hand, and immediately waved the dagger towards the incoming fist, and the other party did not expect Pang Weimin to have a weapon, so he immediately closed his fist and jumped out of the circle.
Seeing that Pang Weimin picked up the dagger again and was about to slash over, this person hurriedly shouted:
"Margo's, it's just a matter of trying your hand, are you still doing it?"
Pang Weimin was stunned when he heard this, who is this signature swear word if it is not Han Dong? Pang Weimin put away the dagger and said with some doubts:
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you running out for?"
"Margobi's, you're not the same. Almost scratched the hands of labor. ”
"I'm chasing you, what are you doing?"
"Labor and management heard the camel agitation before, and found a dark shadow sneaking around the camp, so they chased Luo out. I didn't expect the black shadow to be too fast, and it ran away before it could fight. ”
"Then why are you masked?"
"It's not that I saw you come out, I want to try how many pounds and taels your little egg has, but I really didn't expect the reaction speed to be good. Gone, go back to sleep, bad luck. ”
After Han Dong finished speaking, he ignored Pang Weimin and turned around and walked to the tent. Pang Weimin looked at his back and did not follow. Han Dong's words made him suspicious.
He saw a dark shadow, and who could testify? It's so late, what is Han Dong coming out for? Pang Weimin thought about it and had no clue, so he had to walk back to his tent.
At this moment, a night breeze blew through a sand dune in the distance, and something seemed to move in the dark night, raising a trace of sand and dust, and then returned to calm.
Back in the tent, Pang Weimin was completely sleepy for a while, pricking up his ears to listen to the movement outside. But apart from the whimper of the wind, the sneezing of camels, nothing unusual.
Lenovo what happened in the hotel in Ruoqiang County before, although I didn't witness it with my own eyes, but that time it was Xu Shan, this time it was Han Dong, they all said that they met the black shadow man, if it is true, who is the black shadow, or is it a person?
But how credible are their words?
Unable to fall asleep after tossing and turning, Pang Weimin simply took out the Yin Yang Fish Pendant, the booklet that his father gave him. From the description in the booklet, it was obviously not here, but it should be closer, and he had a feeling that he was getting closer and closer to the place where his father had disappeared.
Just when he couldn't sleep, suddenly the cuckoo's extremely frightened slender voice exploded in the dark shadows:
"Ah, ghost, there's a ghost, help!"
