Suddenly, the guide turned around and asked me, "Old man Maimaiti wants to know, what is the purpose of your excavation of the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Night?" ”

After hearing this, the three of us looked at each other for a long time, and we didn't know how to answer for a while. Worried that the cannon's mouth would not be tight, I hurriedly said: "Actually, we are digging and searching for this ancient country of the Western Night, just so that we can better reflect the civilization of the Western Regions." In the future, we are going to create a literary and artistic work about Xinjiang, and we are here to explore the excellent culture of Xinjiang as much as possible. ”

When the guide Brother Li heard what I said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked, "Dare to do your job well and contribute to our Xinjiang." Do you think you need manpower right now? After the guide finished speaking, the rest of the tribe also expressed their desire to join our team.

At first glance, the cowhide was blown up, and he almost failed to make a round, so he quickly explained: "Actually, everyone does the same work, all for the construction of our tuba Xinjiang." If you process your own agricultural products well and sell them, you are also contributing to the construction of Xinjiang! This, this job, there is no distinction between high and low. ”

Cannon and Li Tong sat next to me, looking at me with a look of surprise. The cannon secretly gave me a thumbs up. Li Tong gave me a look and motioned for me to go out.

Following Li Tong to the corner of existence, Li Tong said: "We may have overlooked a problem before, that is, when we travel in the desert, it is best to have someone familiar with the local situation to lead the way. Otherwise, it might be very dangerous for the three of us to walk in the desert. ”

When I thought about it, Li Tong's worries were really reasonable. Do you want me to fool the guide again? Thinking about this errand, it's really brain-burning. But I can't help it, for the sake of this operation, I have to try again.

After Li Tong and I returned to the room one after the other, everyone looked at us with a smile on their faces. Inadvertently glanced at Li Tong, only to see that this Nizi had some blush on her face.

In the afternoon, the guide happily came to us and said that he wanted to invite us to fish in the reeds, and in the evening to welcome the guests from afar with a bonfire.

When the three of us heard the guide say this, we felt a little more grateful to the brothers and sisters of the Daolang clan. The three of us followed the guide to the riverbank, and saw that more than a dozen people had gathered on the riverbank, including young adults and children. Everyone stood happily on the shore, waiting for our arrival.

When they saw us arriving, they rowed together in a boat made of poplar wood to the deepest part of the reeds. Each of the three of us is free and one person leads. After paddling forward for a few minutes, the water gradually deepened, but it was still as clear as it was. You, the young man with me, put the bucket of fish in the boat and jumped into the water. Soon, the young man was already holding a fat carp in his hand, turned around and smiled and threw it into the bucket accurately. Seeing that it was so easy for the youth, I also took the harpoon and saw that the fish nearby was a fork. A carp weighing two or three pounds was in hand in an instant.

Turns out that spearfish is so fun, I thought to myself. So he continued to lie on the side of the boat and waited for the fish to come.

In less than an hour, our bucket was filled with large carp. I sailed ashore with the youth. From time to time, the cannon and Li Tong also returned with a full load.

The cannon said excitedly: "Brother Seven, I didn't expect fishing here to be so fun." Ha ha! I said, "Don't be scared." At this time, Li Tong also got off the boat and walked over, and a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

Everyone put the caught fish together, and in the village, I saw that all the women in the village came to help.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I thought of the scene when I was a child. I remember when I was a child, when we celebrated the New Year there, on the thirtieth day of the lunar month, the whole family gathered together, and the adults were busy preparing all kinds of delicious food. And we children were playing pranks in the big and small corners of the village with the guns in our hands. Unfortunately, time has changed.

And this scene in front of me undoubtedly evokes good memories of my childhood. The cannon watched everyone busy and followed suit, and got busy. Don't say it, this guy is not very good, but he is a good hand at making fish.

Seeing me standing next to me in a daze, Li Tong walked over slowly, put his hand on my shoulder, and asked, "Do you remember the past again?" ”

I paused, squeezed out an embarrassed smile and said, "Where? I'm supervising the cannons, you see, this kid is very busy. You see, the relationship with Uyghur women has changed for the better in an instant. This is a typical female killer. ”

Li Tong put his hand on my waist and asked, "Lewd, with me, you dare to think about this." Be careful, I, I'm ......"

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his lower back. I saw Li Tong's girl pinching my waist, seeing that I was in such pain, that Nizi smiled evilly.

I said angrily, "It's really ruthless." Are you not flesh on someone else's body? "After that, I'm also ready to take revenge on this Nizi. Seeing this, Li Tong hurriedly ran away.

Soon it was getting dark. A waning moon gradually appeared in the western sky, and the sky was full of stars. A cool breeze blows along the riverbank to the village. It doesn't feel like it's in the sweltering heat of the desert.

In the evening, the people of the village lit a large bonfire at the entrance of the village. Everyone sat around the campfire, and the three of us were invited to sit next to the old man.

At this time, the sound of Dongbula came from the hands of several old people next to him. From time to time, several young lads and girls danced merrily around the fire. Although it is still summer, the wind in the desert at night still makes people feel the slightest coolness. The lonely night sky is just like a song and laughter in this Daolang clan.

It was a bit boring to sit next to me, so I simply followed a few young people and watched how they grilled the fish. Before I got close to the grill, a strong smell of barbecue came with the wind. It is different from the seasonings such as cumin and pepper used in grilled fish and barbecue in the mainland. These young people didn't know what was in it, and a different kind of fragrance came to their noses. Not to mention, this smell tickles my heart, and I feel like my saliva is about to run down.

The cannon was also attracted by the smell of grilled fish, and his eyes looked directly at the grill, but he didn't take it with his hands. I took the substrate grilled fish for the old man and Li Tong.

The old man sat in the middle of the crowd, looking so peaceful and selfless. I walked up to the guide and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you can introduce us to this Daolang clan." Brother Li hurriedly smiled modestly: "Here is still the old man who buys the most power." ”

After speaking, Brother Li communicated with Maimaiti in Uyghur. The old man Maimaiti showed a proud look. After about ten minutes, Brother Li said: "The old man Maimaiti said that their tribe did not live in this area before, but in the lower reaches of the Yarkand River. Later, due to the perennial war, their ancestors went up the Yarkand River. The generation of the old man and grandfather migrated here. ”

Brother Li took a sip of the wine brewed by the tribe itself and continued: "Their tribe believes that it may be the meaning of the Kunlun God to be able to reach here. ”
