Chapter 566: A New Discovery
The ruins of this ancient city are rectangular, about a thousand meters long from east to west, and only 500 meters from north to south, and the corner where Shen Yu disappeared is more than 600 meters away from me.
At this time, it was already eleven o'clock, which was equivalent to nine o'clock in the mainland. The sun had already risen, the temperature in the desert was rising rapidly, and by the time I got there, I was already sweating.
"Shen Yu!" I shouted.
The empty desert has an obvious sound absorption effect, and the sound is like a small pebble thrown into the sea, and you can't even feel the slightest ripple.
There was not a single repercussion.
I didn't care about the pain in my feet, and I gasped and climbed up to a ruin, and put my hands on the pergola and looked around.
The terrain here is very high, and standing on it, you can see the entire ruins and the situation of the expedition at a glance, but there is no trace of Shen Yu around.
I was so anxious that I was sweating - Shen Yu was not Hua Yu, if someone attacked her from behind, it would definitely be more than lucky.
Thinking of this, I squinted my eyes and hurriedly looked at the expedition team, only to see Zhang Xiangchun, Suletan, and a group of drivers and temporary workers all busy.
The danger from within has been eliminated, but is there something unforeseen hidden in this ruin?
I jumped off the ruins and ran to the place where Shen Yu had stopped to watch, and sure enough, I found her footprints in the dust of the ruins.
Subconsciously, I sensed that something was wrong there, but at this moment I didn't care about anything else, and I followed the trails, bypassing a crumbling earthen wall.
The view suddenly widened, because there was no deserted castle in front of me, but a flat and charming oasis.
The area of the oasis is not large, smaller than the oasis where Hua and I last explored and rested, but it is closer to the ruins, and the distance is only more than two hundred meters.
There is a pool of water in the center, surrounded by greenery, with a few humble poplars and patches of sand holly.
In fact, if we had driven a little further yesterday, we would have been able to see this oasis. It is a better choice to camp next to the oasis, and when you see the oasis and the water in the desert, your heart is suddenly much more steady.
Did Shen Yu go to the oasis?
I held on to the wall, ready to climb down the ruins and go to the oasis to find out. But as soon as he was halfway up, he saw a broken earthen wall not far away, and Shen Yu squatted in front of the wall, constantly reaching for something inside.
I couldn't help but shout at her, and when she saw me, she also stood up and waved.
"Hurry up!" She shouted.
I stumbled over, only to see that the broken earthen wall and the standing wall had an angle, which was very small and not in the position of the tuyere, so it formed a space that was not completely swallowed up by the yellow sand.
"There's something in there." Shen Yu turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and said to me, "Someone has been here before." ”
There is no mobile signal in the vast desert, so the most common function of mobile phones here is a flashlight.
I looked inside, and sure enough, I saw a green coarse cloth exposed in the sand, but the space was too small for us to reach for the cloth and get in.
"It's good if Hua Hu wants to, she can move this wall away." Shen Yu said a little annoyed.
"Don't worry. I went to the tent and looked around to see what tools I had. I said.
Shen Yu stood up: "I'll go with you." ”
Because this wall is also on top of the ruins, and the terrain here is very high and a little steep, we can only hold on to the wall and rush back to the same road little by little.
"How did you find here?" I asked.
"Hmph." Shen Yu suddenly sneered, she didn't answer my question directly, "Some people have ill intentions, so you have to stay away to see the truth, wait to see the good show." ”
"Do you mean Zhang Xiangchun?"
"There are also people inside, each with a ghost - by the way, I'm going to call Lin Ying tonight to see what the progress is like over there."
The two of us chatted around the corner, but the scene in front of me stunned me again.
There was silence in the ruins of the ancient city, and in this short period of time, the entire expedition team was gone!
I rushed over there, tripped over a piece of rammed earth on the way, and almost crawled under the dirt wall.
Shen Yu's physical strength obviously couldn't keep up, so I had to stop and wait for her. The two of us ran to the ruins of the palace just now, only to see that the machine was still there, but the people were gone.
"Old news, Wen Tingxu!" I shouted.
"Here!" A pleasant female voice came.
I ran to the sound, only to see a black hole in a corner of the palace peeking out at some point. Bai Ya'er was standing at the entrance of the cave, and she looked up.
"What's wrong?" I ran over and asked.
"I found a cellar, maybe the treasure trove of the palace at that time, Lao Qin's instrument shook too much, and a piece of land collapsed, and the hole was exposed." Bai Yaer said to me proudly.
I jumped out of the cave and reached out again to sink down. Only then did I realize that the place where Bai Yaer was standing was just a platform, and there was a series of steps below.
I walked down a dozen or so steps, and I saw that the lights were bright, and Wen Tingxu was waving to me over there.
"Found a baby."
He pointed to the ground, and saw that there were eight wooden chests on the ground, two of which had been opened, and which contained many gold ornaments, and strings of agate beads, silver vases inlaid with rubies, three-colored pottery, and so on, and the other chest contained brocade and silk.
Zhang Xiangchun and several villager workers were fascinated by it, and some even reached out to touch the silk. Qin Yafu walked up and closed the box with a bang.
"Xiao Qin, close the box and seal the hole, these are cultural relics, we can't touch them." Wen Tingxu admonished.
"Let's take a look at the other boxes." A driver who drove for Bai Ya'er, whose name was Yun Dazhuang, asked with a hippie smile.
"No! I'm the son of an archaeologist, and I can't do anything that harms artifacts. ”
I really want to give Wen Tingxu a thumbs up.
"Go up and get back to work!" Qin Yafu shouted loudly, and the workers reluctantly left the cellar and climbed onto the ground where the sun was like fire.
I grabbed Wen Tingxu and told him about the green cloth found under the earthen wall over there.
He was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly beckoned to Qin Yafu and asked him to find someone to bring a set of excavation and exploration instruments over.
The person Qin Yafu found happened to be Sultan. Bai Ya'er stayed behind to supervise the work, and the five of us walked around the ruins, and Wen Tingxu was taken aback when he saw the oasis.
"The ancients were powerful, and the site of this city was well chosen! I can't imagine that more than 1,000 years from now, there will still be water here! ”
When we came to the front of the earthen wall, Wen Tingxu took a strong flashlight and leaned in to shine it. Qin Yafu ran forward at this time, he opened a box and stretched an automatic robotic arm into it.
The robotic arm is as nimble and accurate as it gets, and there's a control screen behind it. Qin Yafu moved left and right there, stretched the robotic arm to the position of the green cloth, and prepared to start the operation.
"Be careful!"
