Adlibek's dream of sailing from Xinjiang to the sea has come true.

Although I still have many questions, such as how exactly did he do it, with the Irtysh River having two reservoirs on the territory of Kazakhstan, and Adlibek's diesel ships having to pass through at least two dams?

He also has to cross the border from Kazakhstan to Russia, and how did he avoid inspections along the way? The ship is not big, and how will it be replenished when it comes to fuel, food, and level? How did he determine the direction of the lower Ob River and find the way to the bay?

However, these questions are no longer important, and if what happened to these people is true, then Wen Mushan and his wife should have fled not west to the Sarykol Ridge, but to the north to Altai and through the Irtysh River.

When Adlibek woke up early in the morning on his first day, the ship was parked on the north bank of the Irtysh River, and if he opened the map and extrapolated back from the time of the diesel boat, he should have seen a small town called "Bran".

Of course, now Kazakhstan has become a "rich country", a vast and sparsely populated country that has become rich by selling resources.

However, in 1994, not long after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the newly independent Kazakhstan was still in ruins, the economic situation was still very average, and the social order was not so stable.

This is no longer what we are concerned about, and it can be inferred that the man and woman probably went to Bran on Adlibek's ship, and we have no way of knowing where they went.

Could it be that Wen Mushan and his wife are gone like this and never returned, and they have disappeared without a trace?

I was in a state of confusion, Captain Garlic took the copper kettle, and went to change the new tea, he walked back, as if he saw through my thoughts, so he said: "My words are not finished yet, Comrade Xiaoyan, don't worry." ”

My heart moved: "Could it be that I found the traces of those two people again?" ”

Captain Garlic's eyebrows furrowed: "This, how do you say it?" Have you ever heard of the Sangzhu Ancient Road? ”

"I've heard that it is a mountain road that traveled west from the foothills of the Karakoram Mountains to Ladakh from southern Xinjiang in ancient times. During World War II, because the Japanese army blew up the road from Burma to Yunnan and blocked the Pacific port, the American aid to China was forced to stay in the port of Karachi, which is still part of India.

Later, a foreign student stumbled upon a book about the steep mountain road that a British explorer had taken from Xinjiang to India more than 20 years ago.

The students told the government about the discovery, and the Xinjiang side raised more than 1,000 livestock and horses, recruited nearly 200 camel workers, and began the long journey to transport the supplies back to China. But because of the difficult roads, about a tenth of the caravans and transport workers died on the roads. ”

Captain Garlic and Ai Zezi were stupid, and this time even Hua Fei was stunned.

"Honey, how do you know anything......"

"I'm a publisher...... Proofread the edition often, and proofread it once and remember it in your head......"

"I haven't seen you go to work yet." Hua Yan glared and asked, "Isn't work fun?" I especially like the kind of white-collar workplace tearing drama. ”

I smiled: "That's all an extension of the palace fighting drama, how can the real workplace be so simple." ”

"Is there anyone who is always against you?"

"There's one." Somehow, I suddenly remembered the cold-faced beautiful girl Xin Xiaoruo, who hadn't gone to work for a long time, and I didn't know what happened to Lao Zheng and them-but......

"Let's listen carefully to Uncle Garlic."

Captain Garlic continued: "Since Comrade Xiaoyan knows the Sangzhu Ancient Road, it is convenient to talk about it. The road is now in Pishan County, southeast of Yecheng, in the middle of the Karakoram Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, and is now classified as a border control area.

"In the past two years, there have been some young people who have discovered this road, but there are very few expeditions, let alone twenty-three years ago......"

I couldn't help but interrupt him: "Listen to you, this ancient road is also related to the disappearance of the archaeological team?" ”

"It's not just about the archaeological team, it's also about Wen Mushan and his wife......

"Wen Mushan?! Wait a minute! Uncle Garlic, let's take a look first, the Yarkand River Valley Ranch that was suspected to be Wenmu Mountain was first discovered, and it was directly west of Yecheng, right? ”

"That's right."

"Later, the couple who hitchhiked Wang Mingdeng, when they passed by the Crimean Mutton Restaurant, were in Maigaiti County, right? Is Maigati just north of Yecheng? ”

"Yes."

"What is the Sangzhu Ancient Road now, is it in the east of Yecheng?"

"To the east, slightly to the south."

"Could it be that Wen Mushan has a doppelganger technique and appeared in three different directions in a short period of time, and these places are still inconvenient and impossible to travel back and forth easily?"

Captain Garlic smiled.

"Comrade Xiaoyan, don't worry, listen to me."

Hua Yan leaned into my ear and muttered quietly: "If it were me, I would be able to appear like this in a day or two......"

"Don't make a fuss, there's only one Hua ...... in the world," I said halfway through, and suddenly stopped.

Is there really only one Hua Hu in the world? Aren't those faceless men in Weiyang also muscular, able to run, jump and move wildly?

If Wen Mushan knows the faceless man?

But as soon as the idea came to me, I rejected it.

Because Wen Tingxu did not have any experience of participating in mysterious events in his previous life, and the group of faceless men seemed to be only interested in people with evil in their hearts, they all looted corpses or killed them, no matter from which point of view, Wen Tingxu had no intersection with faceless men.

What's more, the faceless man's ability to move can't be compared with Hua Hu's at all. If Hua Hu is a high-speed rail speed of 350 kilometers, then the faceless man is at best a high-speed speed limit of 120 kilometers.

Now put these aside, let's listen to Captain Garlic.

……

The name Sangzhu Ancient Road is derived from the Sangzhu River, which originates in the Karakoram Mountains and flows north before disappearing into the Taklamakan Desert.

There is a small village next to the Sangzhu River called Kurlang. The village of Kurlang is actually a small ranch with only five herders.

On the same day that the owner of the Crimean mutton restaurant met the couple, a man and a woman also knocked on the door of the house of Ulan Bek, a villager in Kurlang.

The man spoke Chinese, but Uncle Ulanbek didn't understand it at all, he was a Kyrgyz and could only speak his own language.

"What did you say?" Ulan Bek asked.

After a long time of talking to the two chickens and ducks, Ulan Bek finally figured out that he was trying to get a stutter.

Life in the village was simple, with only dry roasted naan and cold snowy mountains in the house, but when the two men saw the food, they immediately devoured it.
