A tall and sturdy young man with a high nose and deep eyes, and wheat-colored skin ran out of the house and said with a smile: "Sister, you are here!" His expression froze, and he pointed at us and shouted, "What are these people doing?" ”

The eldest sister didn't pay attention to his question, just gave him an unpredictable smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hu San's eyes didn't move off the man for a long time, and he whispered with envy: "I'm afraid this guy is one meter ninety-five, right?" What are you doing when you're so tall, stupid big man. ”

I couldn't help but laugh, and after glancing at the man's slender legs, I laughed in a low voice, "It's good that people didn't hear you, otherwise your guide plan would definitely be ruined." ”

The young man helped his sister carry the contents of the trunk into the house, ran out and glared at us and asked, "What are you here for?" ”

Zhang Siyuan said mysteriously: "Come and fulfill one of your wishes." ”

He looked us up and down, and when he saw our hiking bag, his eyes lit up, and he took a few steps back, his look of surprise exploding on his face. He gasped and cried out, "You won't be here to take me into the Taklamakan Desert, will you?" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "You guessed it. ”

The young man froze in place, the expression on his face changed back and forth, he raised and lowered his hand in confusion, and after a long time he suddenly burst into a burst of cheers, and rushed into the house, from which came his excited voice, which was an octave higher.

Wang Linshuo's grinning mouth reached the root of his ears, he looked at the courtyard gate and said: "How can you talk about the things you like, such a big person is like a child." ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the young man leaped out of the room, took my hand and said happily, "You wait for me, and I will serve you the best meal before leaving!" ”

Uncle Lu suddenly grabbed him, and said solemnly: "How familiar are you with the desert, and what about your physical strength?" ”

He didn't even think about it and exclaimed, "Absolutely no problem! I grew up on the edge of the desert, and I heard a lot about the desert and knew some survival skills. As for physical strength, you look at my arms. He rolled up his sleeves, showed me his muscles, and made a few more powerful gestures and smiled: "Is it okay?" ”

The eldest sister came out of the house and sighed, "Don't worry, this kid has been preparing for a long time to visit the desert. As you said, he confessed to me just now, and ten days later he decided to go to Taklamakan alone! I'm really ...... Thank you for meeting you. ”

Zhang Siyuan smiled at her proudly, and then asked the young man who was smiling like a flower: "I really don't understand you, the desert is extremely hot during the day, and the light wind blows at night to kill people, and sometimes there are sandstorms, and there is no water to drink." We really had to come here, why do you always want to suffer? ”

He smiled: "I'm afraid you can't understand the feelings of children growing up on the edge of the desert. It's been twenty years since I was born, and I've never left the village in such a long time. When I was a child, I listened to a belly full of legends and stories about the desert. I'm a very curious person myself, and I'm always wondering what the deepest part of the desert looks like. ”

I sighed, Uncle Lu suddenly turned his head to the eldest sister and said, "How much do you think is appropriate for this trip?" ”

She was stunned, bit her lip and pondered for a while, "How about five thousand?" Give money first, then take people. ”

After everything was settled, we sat in the courtyard and watched the sun set, the cool wind blowing, and dishes of dishes of color and aroma kept jumping from the kitchen to the table. The eldest sister has used all her housekeeping skills, whether it is Xinjiang's specialties or ordinary rice gruel, everything makes me full of praise. Zhang Siyuan firmly stared at the almond-sprinkled yogurt, and drank five or six bowls in a row, like a demon reincarnated.

Uncle Lu proposed to hurry after dinner, but was stopped by the eldest sister. She said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "It's cold in the desert at night, why don't you recharge your energy and sleep well before leaving?" The desert was hard and full of sand, but it wasn't as comfortable as my bed. ”

Although Uncle Lu was a little anxious, it was difficult to refuse seeing her eager eyes, so he had to reluctantly agree. That night, I couldn't find anything wrong with it, except that the cover was a little harder. After getting up early and packing up, when the eldest sister was about to leave, she suddenly stopped the car and pushed the door open, and it didn't take long to hold a stack of naan, which was half an arm's high, panting and stuffing it into his brother's hand, and rushed out with one foot on the accelerator.

The yellow sand is long, and the breeze is gusting. A newborn sun hangs in the sky, sparing no effort to sprinkle brilliance. Poplars sway gently on both sides of the road, and the layers of yellow sand like small mountain bags form a unique pattern. Zhang Siyuan was dizzying, almost stunned, and muttered: "If you give me a camera now, I can shoot works that have won international awards." ”

The eldest sister didn't have the same leisure and elegance as us, she pulled the young man aside, frowned tightly and put her hands on his shoulders, and repeatedly instructed, and it took more than ten minutes before she reluctantly pushed him towards us: "I can only send you here, there are more people to see on the border of the desert, and there may be a supply station." But the further you go, the more real no man's land, you have to rely on yourself, and have a good trip. ”

We waved to him in unison, turned and took the first step into the desert. Wang Zhen said curiously: "The sand here is actually hard, I thought it would be as soft as the beach." ”

Wang Linshuo said while tightening his trouser belt: "This is the outermost layer of the desert, and it has long been steadfasted by people who come and go. But it suddenly occurred to me that the mask of the Taklamakan Desert is 330,000 square kilometers, and if we rely on our legs, how long will we have to go! Why don't we buy a batch of camels? ”

The young man who was exploring the path in front turned around and shouted, "Do you think that camels can be bought when you say they can buy them?" Now the young and middle-aged people in the village have abandoned this desolate land and gone to work in the big city, where no one can raise camels to make a living in the desert where no money can be made. Rest assured, I know the shortest route, and it won't take you a few days to get out. ”

I said to myself, you've never been here, how can you know the shortest way? Word of mouth alone is not necessarily accurate.

Everyone was quite excited when they saw the small sand dunes that looked like yurts and the glowing yellow sand, squatting down to touch the sand and looking at the endless distance. But when the shadow of the dunes could no longer hide the scorching sun, I grew bored and lost the charm of the spectacle in front of me. Zhang Siyuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and complained: "I want to take back what I said yesterday, the sun here is much warmer than the one in Yunnan." ”

The young man turned around and rolled his eyes disdainfully and said, "Isn't the whole world using one sun?" Could it be that the sun in Xinjiang is a little flatter than in the northeast? ”

Wang Zhen laughed and said: "He always likes to say these brainless words, you don't have to pay attention to him." By the way, buddy, I've been with you for so long, I still don't know what your name is. ”

He scratched his head: "The daimyo is too earthy, I'm embarrassed to say it." Just call me Katsuko. ”

At first, we still had the strength to talk endlessly, but gradually I felt that the backpack on my shoulders was sinking like a boulder. Looking at the others, I saw that they were also wiping their sweat weakly. I began to regret it and sighed, but I heard Wang Linshuo suddenly exclaim in a low voice.

Holding a small black plastic bucket, he shook off the sand on it and asked, "I just accidentally kicked one of these things out of the sand, do you want to take it apart?" ”

Hu San grabbed it, shone it in the sun, pinched it again, grabbed both sides of the bucket with both hands and twisted it to both sides, and a note fell to the ground.

Zhang Siyuan copied it, unfolded it and squinted his eyes and read: "Walk forward for a thousand meters, turn right again, and see the second command." ”

I leaned over to discern from the handwriting who had said it. But these words are so ordinary that they are simply buried in the pile of words and can no longer be found, and there are no characteristics to be found. Katsuko smiled: "There won't be any treasure buried at the end, right?" ”

Uncle Lu said while fanning the wind with his hand: "There may also be a trap hidden." ”

Katsuko's expression changed suddenly, and after he flipped through the note a few times, he suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Bosses, you are not here just to find herbs, right?" ”

Wang Zhen and I exchanged glances, and Uncle Lu said calmly, "You guessed right." Tell me why you think that? ”

Katsuko turned her head and stared at the dunes, her voice drifting a little: "I accidentally saw the pipe and gun in your bag. You're not here to solve anything, are you? ”
