"Do you have water at home?" A woman's voice came.

Then a man's voice replied, "There is water, you want me to bring it to you." ”

The voice is very loud, it must be someone talking below, a few of us can hear it clearly, we look at each other around the dry well, we don't know what to say for a while, this is amazing, the conversation below is commonplace.

Wang Fatzi finally couldn't stand this stimulation anymore, so he turned down and asked, "Oh, is there anyone down there?" ”

As soon as Wang Fatzi said this, the following immediately quieted, and the calm just now was restored, and there was no sound at all.

"There's got to be someone down here!" Wang Fatzi said.

At this time, there was a herdsman riding a camel in the distance, and when we were puzzled, he told us that the water of the dry well could not be drunk, and that after drinking, people would immediately get sick, and the body would immediately get pimples, and then swell to death, if the water was used to irrigate the villager, the dealer would die as soon as he watered, basically the water soaked in the ground, the earth was stripped away, not an inch of grass grows, very desolate, and as long as the water is sprinkled in the Yellow River, The fish in the Yellow River, which usually do not show their faces at all, immediately jumped out of the water to a meter high.

After knowing this from this herdsman, we realized that the water in this dry well is really not ordinary water, but think that since there is water in the dry well, there must be something alive, not to mention that this is the water of the netherworld.

"Professor, can you explain?" Xiaobei asked Professor Ma that Xiaobei's supervisor in graduate school was Professor Ma, and it was very appropriate to ask Professor Ma this question at this time, but I thought that Xiaobei might still be a student, and he was still immersed in the academic circle for some non-academic issues, and did not really come out to understand our real world.

Professor Ma glanced at the dry well just now, as if he was a little unconfident, and said, "This water still has to be explained from a scientific point of view." ”

"What? Professor, are you going to let us take this water back for testing? That's a waste of time, it's not easy for us to come here, and if I go back now, I won't agree, and I won't sponsor your travel expenses. Wang Fatzi was surprised and said that in order to support Professor Ma's archaeological academic research, this guy actually raised 200,000 yuan, 200,000 yuan was already a lot in the 90s, and a popular saying in the 80s was 10,000 yuan.

Professor Ma didn't seem to have much to do, but after a glance at me, I said my thoughts: "It's unrealistic to go back, if every time the archaeology is to go back with samples, then it is definitely unrealistic to build an airfield here, what we have to do is to persist and survive here." ”

Although I know that it is easy for me to say this, but in fact, we encountered this tricky thing when we set off for the first time, Liu Sandao looked at us as if it was also tricky, lit a sweat cigarette and smoked and said with a smile: "Open a well!" ”

"You mean to open this dry well? Well, you and I just thought, don't you see that my earthen cannon is ready? Wang Fatzi seemed to have found a confidant all of a sudden, and hurriedly high-fived the village chief Liu Sandao to express his agreement with this approach.

I thought about it, since there is water under this dry well, that is to say, it must have been an oasis in ancient times, at least this dry well is from the riverbed, but now the water is below, and the top is covered by desert wind and sand.

"Wait! Isn't it reckless for you to do that? This will destroy the relics! "I suggested.

"Then you can talk about the way, you and this gentleman are both intellectuals, since you don't agree with us to blow up the well, tell me your way!" Liu Sandao asked me and Professor Ma.

I walked over and asked Professor Ma, "Teacher Ma, look at this ......?"

Before I could finish speaking, Professor Ma said, "There is only one way now, and that is to dig up dry wells." ”

"How to dig? It's full of sand and rocks, and if we run into a trap, we'll be doomed, haven't you seen the Russians who came to explore before? Liu Sandao pointed to the Russians who were buried by him in the distance, as if to warn us, in fact, I know that this dry well looks like an ordinary abandoned well from the outside, but this may be the tomb mouth, plus the mysterious water just now, let me keep thinking about some things and ideas in my head.

"I thought about it, we need to dig up the perimeter of this dry well first, see what the situation is, I just looked at the terrain here, the location of this dry well is low, do you think we are standing here now like we are in the middle of the river?" I pointed in the right direction of the dry well.

"According to you, this was once a river!" Wang Fatzi didn't believe my words, Professor Ma immediately grabbed my words and said: "I think there is some truth in what the bullet said, you see, from here, the terrain on both sides has always been very high, but the direction of this dry well is very low, and do you see it?" It's a long dragon vein. As soon as Professor Ma said this, everyone looked in the direction of the dry well, and sure enough, they felt that there was some truth.

"What you said makes a bit of sense, but this is a feeling, maybe it's a coincidence, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth, don't forget, this is what Grandpa Deng said at the conference!" Although Wang Fatzi is here to explore, this kid still has a few brushes to learn some theoretical knowledge.

But I thought, if Professor Ma admits this, then how can this dry well be in the middle of the river? Generally speaking, the location of the well is on a high place, on a living stone wall, and according to this, the reasoning just now is a bit immature.

"Professor, I would like to ask, why is the dry well built in the river? I haven't seen a well built in that river. I still can't figure it out. "I asked Professor Ma to see if I could get some useful information from him, how could I explain this contradiction?

"That's right, I agree with what Brother Bullet said, it makes sense, that second cargo will build a well in the river, don't talk about anything else, just say that there was this technology at that time?" Wang Fatzi muttered that he disagreed with Professor Ma's previous statement about the dragon veins of the river.

"You, you intellectuals, just write a lot and do little, don't you know if you dig this dry well?" Liu Sandao, the village head, came over and put out the dry smoke.

I took out the scroll of scriptures and looked at it against each other, and this was indeed the entrance to Loulan, but the place it pointed to was very vague, only that this was the beginning of everything, and an arrow shot towards the center of the river.

Liu Shiyi looked at the map of my scripture scroll and said in surprise: "Brother Bullet, you see that the dry well referred to on this map is in the river, which means that this place was really a river, and there was a river." ”

As soon as she said this, she reminded me, and when I looked at the note next to it, it was indeed a river.
