After beating that guy, we really went on the expedition. In ancient times, before going on an expedition, you had to sacrifice the flag first, just like the battle of Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu killed Cai Zhong and Cai He first.

took the train to Chongqing first, and then deceived the 10,000 camels and took them away directly, and sent the Taklamakan to the army.

Along the way, I was constantly instilled with the fragility of life, the harshness of the desert, the bumps of trains, cars, carriages, and camels, and I regretted it, and I wanted to go home. Ten thousand camels are all the way

I kept thinking about it, if I wasn't still afraid of mines and boss stools

Seeing the wind and sand in the sky, feeling the biting cold, the dry wind mixed with particles, this is really not a place for people to stay.

Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan, why don't you just put all the artifacts in your mausoleum, and fly to put one in each place in the north and south. Do you know that you're tired of me a thousand years from now?

I would like to greet your whole family.

Because he didn't know Uyghur, there were many detours along the way, until Lai Xi hired a guide who knew Chinese at a high price, Ababek, and the road behind began to be much easier, at least not again

Hostile and suspicious eyes stared at us, and Lacey didn't have to constantly pull out his little book and his mysterious identity credentials.

Ababak has been a guide for expeditions in the past few years, and has occasionally been a guide for photography enthusiasts and freelance explorers in recent years, taking them to the ruins of the ancient city of Niya. And he didn't know

Dao, our destination is not Niya at all.

This time I entered the desert, and the weight of the backpack tripled at once, not including the fresh water prepared, but fortunately there were five camels in Ababak, but each of them still had to carry a backpack.

Wan Camel complained bitterly as he walked: "I used to have most tears in my lips, but when I got here, my face was cracked, and I was so cold that I wanted to pull it into my crotch when I peed at night." ”

"Didn't you pull into your crotch?" I laughed.

"You still laugh, I'll hide when I go back this time, so that you can't find me, so that you don't have to pull me to suffer next time." Wan Camel said.

Ababak, who was leading the camel in front, said: "This is still good, it is best for you to come at this time, and it will be a month late to catch the wind season, and there will be a sandstorm blown by a strong seasonal wind,

You'll miss the cold now. ”

"Then come in the summer, it's so cold that people can't stand it." Wan Camel continued.

Alabac smiled again and said, "Summer? No one will take you in the summer. ”

"Why?" Wan Camel asked.

Alabac only shook his head, stopped talking, and walked forward.

"In the summer, when the day is 50 or 60 degrees in the desert, people quickly become dehydrated and can't get into the heart of the desert," Lacey said. ”

Although it was physically exhausting to walk and talk at the same time, in this barren desert, it was the only way to keep herself motivated, and Lacey did not stop it, just talked around her scarf

It's a bit overwhelming. If you don't wear a scarf, you'll be filled with a mouthful of sand.

Walking in the desert is to keep going around, keep taking detours, it's okay on the periphery, the sand dunes are not high, but once you go inside, you only keep going around the dunes, especially the leeward side of the dunes,

The sand on the leeward side is very soft, one pit at a time. Luckily, Alabac taught us to walk on the hoof prints of camels, which was much easier.

Climbing to the top of the slope, looking at the endless desert in the distance with a cane, my mind was open, and I really wanted to shout loudly.

Bai Xue - I miss you so much.

But naturally I didn't shout, not to mention that several people in the team were not familiar with it, the most important thing was that there was Zifei standing next to me.

In such a harsh environment, Zi Fei didn't complain about being tired, I didn't want to go, I told Zi Fei before I came in, let her stay outside, but Zi Fei said that this was also a kind of experience for her

Train.

"It's getting dark, I'm looking for a place to camp, and the temperature will drop down again after a while." Alabac said.

Lacey nodded and said, "Collect firewood and grass, the more the better."

In winter, the temperature in the Taklamakan is about minus 20 degrees Celsius at night, and we spend most of the night in tents

The tents are all double-decker tents for mountaineering and cold-proofing.

"There are only four tents, and you need one for two people, so Zifei ......" I asked embarrassedly.

Zi Fei said with a big grin: "Where are you so particular when you go out, you can live with it." ”

After Zifei finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the scenery in the distance, but Landmine and Lacey looked at me with a wicked smile.

"Lacey, I'll squeeze you there." I'm embarrassed to say.

"The tent is too small for you to have." Landmine said.

Zifei turned her head angrily and said, "Are you still afraid that the old lady will eat you?" ”

After saying that, she didn't think it was right, and she laughed out loud.

"Xiao Shuai doesn't do it, I'll change it with Xiao Shuai." Ten thousand camels said again.

"You're fit to sleep next to a golden retriever." Zifei said.

The golden retriever is Zifei's favorite camel, and she is not dirty at all, and often touches the camel's hair and pats the camel's neck.

Zifei didn't mind what I minded, I wouldn't agree to let Wan Camel live with Zifei, and I wouldn't agree to the rest of the team, so I also pretended to be heroic and said, "It's okay,

I'll protect Zifei at night. ”

Lacey and the boss stool tank were all laughing there, I was still a little embarrassed, turned around to collect firewood, but saw Wang Yan sitting alone smoking a stuffy cigarette, he seemed to have a hard time talking about it all day

In a word.

Before the fire was lit, Lacey dug a shallow pit in the sand, and then put all the firewood in the pit and burned it, and after eating, he threw a large number of dead branches into the fire, and started a raging fire. although

However, the temperature dropped, but fortunately, the fire was big enough, and it was warm enough, and everyone gathered around to smoke and chat.

"Alabac, we're going to have a place to go when we get to the ancient city of Niya." Lacey said.

Arabac was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, you don't want to be a photographer or an explorer. ”

The boss asked, "What do you think we do?" ”

Alabac glanced at the boss's stool and said, "You look like a grave robber." ”

Everyone didn't speak, in fact, our team was not photographers or archaeologists at first glance, and we didn't deliberately hide it.

Arabaq added, "They seem to be soldiers, but our soldiers are not like that. ”

Still no one spoke, and after a moment of silence, Lacey said softly: "Alabac, we are going to an oasis next to the ancient city of Niya that has not dried up for thousands of years. ”

Alabac suddenly raised his head, his face full of disbelief, and said in surprise, "How do you know that place!" ”

Lacey was silent, no one could get Lacey to speak as long as he didn't want to.

"I can't go, I can't go," Alabac kept waving his hand, "I'm going back, I'm going home." ”
