It was as if someone grabbed my intestines and stomach and put it in a meat grinder, and it was as if there were countless people holding arrows that penetrated my lower abdomen at the same time, I gasped, cold sweat broke out instantly, squatted down in pain, twisted my eyebrows and said angrily: "Wait...... Wait a minute. ”

Zhang Siyuan looked back, the smile on his face was immediately replaced by a look of surprise, he raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, "Why are you squatting on the ground and covering your stomach?" Is it coming to the big aunt or is it going to? ”

I gritted my teeth and waited for the violent wave of sharp pain to subside a little, and was about to open my mouth when I saw Hu San's face change color, grit my teeth out of a creaking sound, green tendons burst out on my hands, and I grabbed Uncle Lu's wrist next to me and covered my stomach.

Zhang Siyuan's face darkened suddenly, he looked at the two of us worriedly, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Hu San turned his head and spit out a large pool of indistinguishable vomit. I just glanced at it and felt my stomach tumble and dizzy, and I poured out all the contents of my stomach in one mouth.

I hadn't spit out a few mouthfuls when I suddenly felt another sharp cramping in my stomach, followed by a violent whirlpool in my intestines. I couldn't stand it anymore, I screamed and fled without even having time to wipe my mouth, and after rushing for more than a dozen steps, I couldn't care about the surprised eyes of everyone behind me, turned my back and pulled my pants and hurriedly squatted down.

Fortunately, I'm a thick-skinned old man, and I don't care about other people's eyes at a critical moment. If it is a delicate girl like Li Qingling, it is estimated that most of them will pull up to the back of their pants and find a place to excrete. Wang Zhen covered his nose and greeted him, and said angrily: "You and Hu San won't be food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea." ”

My heart trembled, and I suddenly realized that I had vomited all the antidote I had just eaten. My hands and feet are cold, and my heart is not so good that seemingly pure and harmless grass can cause such a big adverse reaction? I tried to stand up, but my feet went limp and I almost fell down in the sand. Wang Zhen grabbed my arm in time and sighed, "It can't be that the grass is poisonous, right?" ”

Uncle Lu grabbed a small bag and hurriedly ran towards me, stuffed a handful of pills into my mouth and said, "This is a cure for food poisoning, don't be bitter - I remember that herbs are non-toxic and harmless, how could you two be forced to look like this?" ”

I shook my head weakly, my throat was dry and aching when I swallowed the bitter pills, Hu San limped over with his stomach covered, and said with a bitter face: "Lao Tzu would rather die of pain than be poisoned again, I was already short of water, and I felt like I was about to dry into a mummy." ”

I was about to speak when I suddenly felt a sharp itch all over my body, as if thousands of ants were crawling on my back. I raised my hand to scratch it, only to find a bunch of itchy little red bumps on my arms and calves. My heart sank all at once, and my heart was finished, not only food poisoning but also allergies, and it seemed that I should never eat that grass. Wang Linshuo saw that I looked panicked, so he hurriedly took a closer look and comforted: "This is just an ordinary allergy, the medicine you took has a relieving effect, you can see that some pimples have disappeared." ”

Uncle Lu had a puzzled expression on his face, twisted his brows and kept saying, "How could it be, I clearly remember that herbs are not poisonous, and what he said can't be wrong......"

He muttered, turning back to the place where the herbs had been found, and I followed with the feeling of wanting to tear the herbs to pieces, squatting on the ground to watch Uncle Lu look for herbs.

Maybe I was so angry that I scared the grass back into the ground, but it took a lot of effort to find a small blade of grass. Uncle Lu pulled it out and looked at it to himself, with words in his mouth. I stared at him closely, expecting him to notice the difference.

When my legs were numb and his eyes were glazed, and I was about to give up with a scolding, Uncle Lu suddenly screamed, jumped up on the ground, patted his thigh and said, "This is not the herb we are looking for, this is a poisonous weed!" ”

I screamed, and he angrily pointed to the grass roots that were about to be crushed to show me: "Its roots are a little swollen and white, and the roots of the herbs we are looking for are flat and slightly black." ”

I grabbed the herbs and looked at them carefully, and sure enough, as Uncle Lu said, the roots of the grass were slightly raised, as if they were wrapped in something. I threw it to the ground in frustration, the excitement and excitement that had arisen were swept away, and I touched my stomach, which was still a little uncomfortable, and sighed to Zhang Siyuan, who was disappointed: "You don't want to go home and drink water, you have to keep going." ”

In the dreary atmosphere, we kept moving at the same speed. This time, even Zhang Siyuan, who was the most capable of pulling skin, kept his mouth shut and said nothing, and he didn't have a drop of water to moisten his throat. There was a terrible silence in the procession, and although everyone's face was full of dissatisfaction and exhaustion, no one opened their mouth to complain, and only the sound of footsteps was sparse in their ears.

I don't know how long it took for us to rest again - Hu San and I still hadn't fully recovered from the symptoms of food poisoning, and I ran to the toilet a few more times to stop worrying about my stomach. I lay exhausted in the scorching sun, sweat running down my cheeks and tickling. Out of a desperate thirst for water, I stuck out my tongue to lick off the sweat droplets, but the tip of my tongue felt even saltier.

My throat hurt and was dry, and even my voice became hoarse, and I really had the thought of dying here as I stared at the sun shining in the sky. Just as I was hesitating whether to do anything about my excrement, I suddenly saw Zhang Siyuan stand up with his eyes unblinking.

I asked him what he saw, and he stared blankly into the distance. I struggled to sit up, and the spectacle in front of me made my mind blank, and I couldn't help but exclaim, pointing at it and exclaiming, "This, how can there be a building here?" ”

At the end of my line of sight, a low, six-story building stood silently. I immediately thought of the small building in the depths of the desert that Lao Jiu had talked about, and involuntarily exclaimed: "It turns out that it has not been demolished!" ”

Uncle Lu and Hu San glanced at each other, and they both hurried away with fast steps. I trotted all the way to avoid being left behind, and just as I was panting and sweating like rain, I suddenly saw the two men stop abruptly. Hu San's voice trembled and asked, "Where is Xiaolou?" ”

I was shocked and quickly looked up, but there was no sign that there had ever been a building. Uncle Lu rubbed his temples and smiled sadly: "I'm afraid we have hallucinations, or a mirage." ”

Zhang Siyuan was deflated, his straight back also bent down, and he said in a dumb voice: "It turned out to be an illusion, it's ridiculous......" Before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly changed, "Why is there a light shining on the ground there?" ”

When I looked closely, the yellow sand where the building had appeared was shining with a soft light that was different from what it had been at other times. I looked at Wang Linshuo in surprise, and he exclaimed, "It can't be another hallucination, right?" ”

I thought to myself, even if it was a hallucination, I would admit it, wouldn't it just be a few more steps. I walked briskly, and the countless broken jades buried in the yellow sand shone softly in the sunlight, almost blinding me.

Uncle Lu didn't know when he had come to me, he looked at these jades that showed half of their heads in the sand, had turned red, and they didn't know how long they had been with the yellow sand, and said in surprise: "How can there be so many broken jades here, isn't there a batch of goods planted here a long time ago?" ”

I whispered, "Do you think someone will go to the deepest part of the desert to deliver goods?" ”

He didn't answer, and squatted down and pulled out a piece of residual jade. The jade body had turned red, and it was slightly blackened inside, covered with some moldy sand and dust. Uncle Lu grabbed the corner of his clothes and wiped it carefully, and this piece of jade regained its vitality and showed its original color. Don't look at it in the sun for so long, it's still a little chilly in your hand.

Zhang Siyuan leaned over curiously and read: "1968.6, Bayin Guoleng. ”

I looked at the string of small words at the bottom of the jade and said: "It has really been here for a long time, is it that someone was responsible for transporting it to a certain place at that time, but something happened here, and the jade shattered and died?" ”

Wang Linshuo bit his lip and stared at the broken and weathered jade condensation: "But I remember that Bayingolin doesn't seem to produce jade, and with the current color of this piece of jade, you can think of its glory back then." Just looking at its appearance, it looks like Hetian jade from Kunlun Mountain. ”

Zhang Siyuan was puzzled: "I remember that Kunlun Mountain is not close to here, and who will transport jade into the depths of the desert?" ”

Wang Zhen didn't answer, walked over and pulled out several pieces in a row, and read them one by one: "1968.7, Tarim out." 1968.12, Taklamakan Desert. Strange, how can jade be produced in the desert? ”

Hu San, who had been full of solemnity and did not answer, suddenly spoke: "Does this word necessarily represent production?" What if it is unearthed or sold? ”

I glanced at Hu San, whose face was as gloomy as the sky before a rainstorm, and then at the broken jade all over the ground, and vaguely realized that there was a secret hidden behind this scene. Hu San glanced at the pieces of jade that he pulled out, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "I seem to have spied on the secret of the general controller." ”
