Chapter 13: Likes (I)

After getting off the bus, there were 14 travelers and 2 guides for this desert tour, a total of 16 people.

When we arrived at the Xiaohe cemetery, I looked at my mobile phone, there was no signal, but the time was still moving, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, Mia and another guide, so they gathered the passengers and asked everyone's opinion whether to go to see the ruins of the Xiaohe cemetery first, or have dinner first, and then go to see.

Of course, I wanted to eat before I went, but I couldn't survive the other people's yearning for Xiaohe Cemetery, so I had to follow them to the ruins of Xiaohe Cemetery, but I immediately opened my backpack and filled the meat that the restaurant owner had given me, held it in my hand, and took a bottle of mineral water on the off-road vehicle with supplies.

Mia and their service is very considerate, although they are not willing to eat first, but they all hold water, another guide leads the way in front, and Mia is in the back, and I am also in the back, eating and walking, the reason why I walk in the back is that I eat meat by myself, so as not to let others see it, so as not to be blinded, and second, I can continue to chat with Mia.

I also handed the meat over to Mia to taste, and she rolled her eyes and glared at me in disgust, only to say that I didn't know the rules at all, but she still reached out and walked with me as she ate.

We only walked less than a few hundred meters in the desert, there was a mobile vehicle from the Xiaohe Cultural Relics Protection Station, the guide in front immediately raised his hand, let the passengers stop, accept the inspection of the cultural relics protection station and tell us some precautions for browsing the cultural relics of the ruins, in fact, these have been talked about many times on the road, the guide in front of him said twice, with the help of the cultural relics protection station, led us, to the far side of the Xiaohe cemetery.

We stood on a slightly lower sand dune, and saw an oval-shaped sand hill more than 200 meters away, that is, the Xiaohe cemetery, of course, this is only a part of the unearthed exposed in the air, we intuitively saw that the sand hill is densely standing more than 140 multi-edged, round, pulp-shaped poplar stakes, all of which are more than 4 meters high and stout, and are mostly cut into 7 to 11 ridges.

According to the research of archaeologists, these diamond-shaped round wooden stakes are a strange fertility cult, of course, these are not under our study, of course, there may be scholars who are interested in this area, I don't care much.

We walked to a distance of more than 10 meters from the Xiaohe cemetery, and the personnel of the protection station did not allow us to get close, so we could only watch around this 10 meters. Mia is the deputy of the guide in front of her today, and the main lecture belongs to the male guide, and she is also happy to be idle, eating and listening to the explanation with me in the back.

In fact, I listened to Mia tell a lot of stories about the Xiaohe cemetery on the way, where thousands of coffins were found, and the dried corpses unearthed are also the most in the world, as well as the dried corpses of beautiful women, etc., who are called the princess of Xiaohe.

I listened to the guide repeating Mia's words, so I didn't think much of it, but while eating, I looked at the poplar stakes, there are layers of tombs under this Xiaohe cemetery, the tomb pattern here is very peculiar, archaeologists in order to protect the integrity of the site and not be destroyed, they dig the Xiaohe cemetery very slowly, and in the year, eight or nine months are the wind season, the excavation is even slower, so far I have not figured out the burial situation under the Xiaohe cemetery.

I came here to travel, not to see what ruins, but to see if I can find news about the bronze ring, however, I looked around the Xiaohe cemetery, and there was no abnormal feeling, it seems that the place may not be here, and there may not be any supernatural abnormal induction, but I am afraid that this trip can only be regarded as a tour.

I was a little bored, at this time, there was a sudden wind, raising dust, fortunately the wind was not very strong, but it was not a good phenomenon for me who was eating, so I had to turn my back to the wind, squatted down, let Mia squat, the two of them gathered together, and ate in a big gulp.

The others shook their heads, and the male guide frowned slightly, and I looked up and saw his face, staring at him defiantly, and the male guide was so frightened that he quickly turned around and stretched out, but I didn't feel any threat in my heart, the male guide was already forty or fifty years old, and he didn't look like the master of the old cow eating tender grass, so I didn't care much.

I was very happy to see that Mia didn't seem to be polite to me at all, and Mia was also full of sunny and youthful smiles, and soon, she didn't eat, and everything else went into my stomach.

I wiped my mouth with the napkin given by Mia, and saw that the other passengers had run to the front, and hurriedly reached out, Mia was not embarrassed at all, it is estimated that we met so many times, she also liked me a little in her heart, and she was even more happy, I pulled her, ran gently, and chased the team in front, and Mia was like a butterfly dancing, and I saw that my heart was beautiful.

Xiaohe cemetery, we looked at the cemetery for an hour or two, but I didn't have so much thought, once I walked to the cemetery of Xiaohe very impulsively, Mia hurriedly pulled me, and the protection station staff in front of me scolded me, and I reluctantly retreated.

Mia asked me, "Brother Feng, what do you want to do?" The personnel of the protection station were equipped with guns. Don't be impulsive? ”

I said helplessly: "It's so far away, I can't see any famous halls, so I want to go in and have a good look?" ”

Mia dragged me, shook her head, and said, "Okay, just take a look!" ”

Subsequently, we had lunch and continued to hurry, enjoying the empty desert along the way, feeling the sky and the earth are wide, but the empty and lonely state of mind, however, this road toss is enough to choke, this Lop Nur area is not a pure desert, is a desert of gravel and gravel deposits, along the way also encountered the Yadan landform, the off-road vehicle drove that called difficult, several times have to get down to push the cart, this is the real tourist adventure, and there is some wind inside, set off the sand, fortunately it is not very big, but it still makes everyone have palpitations, If we do encounter a black wind, we will really suffer, and our lives may be in danger.

After stumbling and bumping all afternoon, at nightfall, we arrived near the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, more than 100 kilometers to the east, where there is a large wind-eroded Yadan landform that surrounds the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan.

However, according to GPS positioning, the guide selected the weaker part of the Yadan landform, drove in, and then repaired it in the wind-eroded stone platform at the edge of the Yadan landform.

Everyone got out of the car, set up tents behind the wind-etched stone platform and off-road vehicles, lit fires, etc., the temperature in the desert was very low at night, and it was necessary to take measures to prevent cold.
