"Shiyi, haven't you already gone to the United States?" I slammed the steering wheel of the truck, and the truck braked suddenly, and the dust around her was everywhere, and she coughed a few times in the dust. I got out of the car and helped her.

"What kind of America are you going, I've convinced my parents, they have agreed to me and you to work in the west, you see this is a letter of introduction!" Liu Shiyi took out the envelope from her pocket, and when I saw it, it was really something similar to a registration card for college students, but now the procedures have been transferred to me.

In 1995, everything was fine.

I was angry when I saw her like this, but it didn't work, she had already decided to do it.

In the end, there was really no way, I had to take her to go, the truck I drove was my second father's, this liberation brand truck was given by him when he was a soldier, for my convenience on the road, it was lent to me, for which my second mother was sad all night, worried that the truck was tossed by me, after all, this mountain road is rugged, and I am a young and vigorous young man, driving will not deal with this car at all, along the continuous peaks and cliffs, we have been speeding west from our Haojiayuan Village, At that time, I only brought three days of dry food, 3 packets of sour cabbage and 10 yellow steamed buns, which were prepared for me by my second mother one night, along the western cliffs, and around the mountains for kilometers, through the desert, Liu Shiyi and I relied on this dry food all the way to our destination.

In the small town of Qingyang, I refueled the car, and then I went to the county education bureau to report, where I took a letter of introduction, which was mainly for the village chief, which meant that I came here to teach, so that they could understand my purpose and mission. Then I bought some equipment in the town, mainly to prevent any problems with the car, looking at Liu Shiyi's face full of dust, my heart was gloomy.

The reason why I chose this village is entirely because of what my broken book "The Middle Ages of Dunhuang" says. The first volume of this book is the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the Western Regions, so I also deliberately checked it to see if there was any mistake, and the result was not wrong at all, this place is consistent with what the scriptures say, of course I am happy in my heart.

There are not many people in this town, but there is a market, and we may have just caught up with the market that day, and there was an endless stream of caravans and caravans, some of them trading here, some of them passing by here for a while, and there were many women standing outside in scantily clad clothes, shouting at the passing caravans......

Although the Silk Road of yesteryear is gone, the days of the markets and the merchants that remain of these remnants still exist in a modern way......

I just cleaned up the truck and came out of the shop, Liu Shiyi got off the truck and said, "Brother Bullet, have you arrived?" ”

It was almost afternoon, and the sunset was slowly sinking on the western horizon, as if kissing the ground, I took out the map and looked at it, found the name of this town, and then checked that the village of Heilongtan was near this town, and the ancient city of Loulan was in this place according to the "Dunhuang Middle Ages".

"It's basically here, I'll give you some bacon, you can eat some first!" I cut off a piece of the meat in my hand, wrapped it in yellow paper, and handed it to Liu Shiyi, along the way, my second mother gave me the whole yellow bun and sauerkraut has been eaten by us, fortunately we arrived here in time, I seem to hear Shiyi's stomach gurgling, I remember when I was a child, my family was poor, I screamed in class, she quietly handed me food.

The village I chose is located next to Qingyang Town, called Black Dragon Pond Village, the village is surrounded by mountains and water, the dragon is extremely far away, it is a big dragon vein, the villagers said that there was a black dragon living here before, there is a clear spring flowing down on the cliff wall at the entrance of the village, directly injected into the deep pool, this clear spring is the dragon's blood, during the Cultural Revolution, the sacrificial temple here was destroyed, the local residents said that the stone crevices suddenly came out of blood, offended the black dragon under the pool, the sleeping black dragon, turned over overnight, and rolled all the buildings above into the pool water, Many people died, and then a Taoist priest came here, and pasted a yellow table on the stone wall, so that the village did not continue to die, after the end of the Cultural Revolution, the temple was rebuilt, and then the spring water on the stone wall magically began to recover, and began to flow, the locals called this is the divine water, after drinking this water, it can ward off evil spirits, and can treat gastrointestinal diseases, but more people say that this is the water dragon of Blackwater City because of the drying up of Blackwater City came here.

Qingyang Village is in the ancient town of Qingyang, the old village chief is called Liu Da Fat, the people in the ancient town of Jianghu said, Liu Sandao, I heard the villagers say, Liu Da Pang once beat the Japanese devils, after being caught by the enemy, after slashing three times in a row, he did not leave a drop of blood, because he drank the dragon spring water of the Black Dragon Pond before going to the battlefield, and several Japanese female soldiers who were afraid knelt down on the spot and begged for mercy, and then Liu Sandao secretly hid the Japanese female soldiers in his own home, ready to be his wife, but when he checked it home, he found out, The three Japanese women in their sacks were strangely gone, leaving only three paper figures, these paper figures looked like real people with the same faces, so scared that Liu Sandao hurriedly buried these paper figures, and then, whenever Liu Sandao dreamed of these three Japanese women, he went to the field of Shilipu, the place where the paper people were buried, to burn the paper, and to resolve the blood disaster, and what the dead women in the dream needed, he went to burn.

Since then, he has gradually become the head of the village, often running his own business in this place with a caravan.

Liu Sandao's village in Qingyang Village used to be a place where bandits lived during the Anti-Japanese War, called Liu's village, and later after these bandits ran away, the villagers here gradually settled down.

Liu Shiyishi and I went to this village in the evening, and the village was not far from the town, 3 miles away.

When I entered the village, I drove the truck very slowly, but I was surrounded by a crowd of people, the tires of the car were stuck in the pit, and the engine of the car kept barking.

A couple of horses appeared in front of our truck on horseback, and one of them, with a leather whip and a straw hat made of wicker, pointed at me in the air and shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

Although this sentence is the words of the locals, I can still understand it, I first let Liu Shiyi stay in the truck, I got out of the car alone, and took out the letter of introduction from my pocket.

"Good Dada, it turns out that you are a college student!" The one who rode a horse at the front was the village chief Liu Sandao, who knew my identity at this time, and my mood calmed down, and the fear just now had disappeared.
