The early morning is always beautiful and looks so harmonious. It seems that any experience from the previous night can be reduced to dust and buried.

From time to time, everyone had some breakfast and started on the road again. Since it was very hot from time to time in the morning, we each led the camels forward. There were gags along the way, there were talks and laughs along the way, and occasionally I listened to Brother Li talk about the strange things in the Taklamakan Desert. The next three days passed like this, uneventful. Of course, compared to what happened two nights before, this is already lucky.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, we finally walked out of the Grand Canyon, and there was a large desert in front of us. Compared with the Grand Canyon behind it, this desert seems to have a long-lost feeling.

Continuing to walk forward, I have climbed about three hills, and the low-lying area in front of me seems to be a small town. From a distance, it looks dilapidated, not like the harmony that some villages in the interior should have, but like a pool of stagnant water in front of you. The roof was full of holes, and occasionally a gust of wind swept across the roof, kicking up dust from it. I should have been happy to see a village in such a big desert, but I didn't expect it to be an uninhabited village.

As we slid down the hillside, the sand under our feet became soft, as if we were on cotton. In less than ten minutes, we were already standing on the outskirts of the village.

At this moment, we really appreciate what it means to be ruined. There were big holes in the walls, and clothes and household utensils were piled up on the floor. Occasionally, a few dead trees were seen standing in front of the house, as if they were lone warriors.

The four of us walked in the town, and this desolation made people feel a little uncomfortable indescribably.

"What is it that has caused this village to decline?" I asked curiously.

"Needless to say, it must be the reason for the lack of water here." Li Tong replied in the affirmative.

Brother Li walked a few steps and said slowly: "When we passed by here before, it was still bustling here, but I didn't expect that now things are different. ”

In just ten years, what is the reason why a prosperous village has become what it is today? Everyone had no answer in their hearts for a while.

With questions in mind, everyone continued to walk forward. In the middle of the town there is an open square, but there is no square dancing crowd on it, replaced by a thick layer of yellow sand and half-buried stones. A gust of wind came out and blew the sand all over the ground.

To the left of the square is a pedestrian street, which is now dilapidated, but its basic layout has been preserved to this day. With curiosity, I pulled the cannon and walked over. The pedestrian street is not big, but it already has a certain scale, and even the small towns in the interior are difficult to achieve this scale, which is comparable to a small county town.

A worn-out, rusty bus stopped on the side of the road. I walked over with the cannon. The doors were locked. Like a curious baby, the cannon had to see what was in the car, and he tugged hard to pull the door open.

Suddenly, the fragile door finally couldn't withstand the brute force of the cannon and was pulled open by the cannon. "I'm going to see what's inside," he said, and the goods went straight to the car. It's too late for me to stop.

"Brother Seven, what are you looking at above?" The cannon shouted. I heard the shouts of the cannon and hurried into the car, and as soon as I got into the car, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.

On each seat of the car lay a skeleton, and judging by the integrity of the skull, it seems that these people had been badly injured before they died, and these people had their hands around their necks.

The cannon stepped forward and said, "It's really unlucky, what can have such a great ability?" ”。 What is it that can do so much? That's what I don't understand right now.

Li Tong and Brother Li also got into the car when they heard the shouts of the cannon, although Li Tong experienced a lot of things, but he was also frightened by the scene in front of him.

Brother Li said with a gloomy expression: "I didn't expect that all the people on such a bus would be ........"

"It's fucking cruel, if I let me catch it. Lao Tzu is going to cramp his tendons. Cannon said angrily.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it's not artificial." Brother Li added.

"It's not man-made, it's it?" Ao asked, and immediately seemed to understand again, and said, "Is that the thing difficult?" ”

"It's hard to say yet. All in all, I don't feel like the town is as calm as it seems. When you move, you must be careful and put safety first. Brother Li reminded solemnly.

In order to prevent everyone from getting separated, we gathered the camels and led them to a short distance from the square. Seeing that the time is already six o'clock in the afternoon, there is no place to deliberately shelter from the wind, so you can only spend the night in this town at night. Look at the surrounding houses that are already in tatters, except for a building near the bus that has been sheltered for the night.

The cannon kept gesturing and saying, "May my Lord Jesus be blessed by the Emperor." ”

"I said if you can make a difference." Li Tong scoffed.

"I'm asking for peace of mind, what do you know?" Cannon retorted.

"Stop arguing, we spend the night in this building, so we need to find out if there's anything wrong with it. And I always felt like something was spying on us. Brother Li commanded and continued to look around.

Ever since I entered this town, I have always felt that I have been enveloped by an eerie atmosphere. Deserted towns, ruined squares, and bones on buses, all of this seems to be controlled by something intangible.

And there's also the question of why the rest of the town disappeared into thin air. Can't all these people go empty, right?

As twilight approached, the town seemed to be shrouded in a black veil, and the surroundings gradually darkened. Slowly, the air around you seems to be compressed.

The four of us had already found a place to rest on the third floor of the building, which was leeward, and the most important thing was that the view here was relatively open, and we could see everything outside the square.

We put the camels and stuff together in the next room. For safety, the four of us were confined to one room. Living in a room with the three big men, Li Tong's face was full of three words of reluctance, but there was no way to do it at this point.

It was getting dark, but luckily there was ventilation outside the room, and we built a fire outside the room. This way you won't choke on smoke while sleeping.

From time to time, the sound of "squirming" kept coming from outside. And the noises are getting louder and louder, like something being eaten by bugs.
