We drove all the way through the wilderness to Qingyang Town, thinking about digging the ancient city again the next day.

In the past, this town was an important transportation artery, but with the passage of time, there are fewer people here, but there are still local residents who trade here, and there is a fixed place for trading goods called the grass market.

On the night we arrived in the town, when our truck drove into the town, it seemed a little strange here, suddenly there were fewer people, and the bustling people in the middle of the day were gone, but the night was very quiet now.

In fact, when Liu Shiyi and I came to this town, I felt it, because there was this prosperous town in the desert, it was simply a paradise, when I drove a truck and Liu Shiyi came here, I was also very strange in my heart, there was such a prosperous town in the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, but when I was in the town, I also bought some equipment to use on my truck, but at night, I found that things were not like me at all.

After the truck stopped, Liu Sandao said to us with a smile: "Let's come down, this ancient town has been abandoned for a long time, basically no one, everyone can rest quietly at night." ”

As soon as Liu Sandao said this, I became a little nervous, and hurriedly asked Sandao: "Wait, what did you just say?" ”

Liu Sandao smiled again and said, "What? I mean this ancient town has been abandoned for a long time, and it can't be compared with my Liu family village! ”

I grabbed Liu Sandao's words and said, "Sandao, you stop!" Since this ancient town has been empty for a long time, where did those villagers you invited with Wang Fatzi during the day come from? Didn't you get it from the town? ”

At this time, I suddenly thought of the dead villagers who died in the truck and were burrowed into the body by insects, thinking that Liu Sandao must know these things, if according to his words, it is contradictory, since there are villagers, why do you suddenly change your words now and say that there is no one here?

Then Professor Ma, Xiaobei and Liu Shiyi were all stunned, and Shiyi hurriedly asked me: "You said there is no one in this town?" Then when Brother Bullet and I passed by here, I saw a lot of people coming and going here, and a proprietress also asked Brother Bullet to go in, saying that there were beautiful beauties inside, but fortunately Brother Bullet didn't go in, what the hell is going on? ”

At this time, Wang Fatzi and Professor Ma were stunned, because Liu Shiyi and I arrived first, and they did see the people in these towns, Professor Ma and Xiaobei came later, at this time Professor Ma said: "We didn't see anyone in the town when we came, this is in the desert, generally there will be no prosperous town, and this is not as prosperous as in ancient times. ”

Professor Ma asked, Liu Shiyi and I were stunned, this is definitely when we came to see a lot of people in the town, bustling, not like it is now, it seems quiet, like an ancient town that has been sleeping for thousands of years, full of unimaginable things.

"Professor Ma, let me tell you, when Liu Shiyi and I came, we did see the bustling people in the town, didn't you see it when you came?" When I asked Professor Ma, I wondered why the two groups of us were seeing different results.

"It's weird, when we came, there was basically no one in town."

"By the way, let's let Sandao say, is there anyone living in this town?" I asked.

"No one, there has always been no one in that town, unlike our Liu family village, all of whom are from this village." When Liu Sandao said this, I wondered, could it be that Liu Shiyi and I saw a mirage? Didn't see anyone at all?

However, there are still many doubts, how far is Liujiazhai from here, when I came to Heilongtan Village before, Liu Sandao said that he was a resident here, but now? He actually said that there was no one living here, which made me a little wary of Liu Sandao.

"Okay, Sandao, you deceived me, a college student, when I came to the village, didn't you still take the villagers with you?" I asked Liu Sandao what the hell was going on? Because in my heart, although this place is a desert, it is also inhabited, but now Liu Sandao actually told me that there are no residents here at all, which makes me suddenly feel a little unacceptable.

Liu Sandao said with a smile: "You are still intellectuals, can't you even see my tricks?" ”

"What the hell do you want?" I asked Liu Sandao.

"Let me tell you the truth, I took those villagers with me, they are all from our Liu family village, Liu family village is about 50 kilometers away from Heilongtan Village, we originally wanted to come here to find some treasures, but we didn't expect to meet you, so I haven't said anything about this matter, but now that the opportunity is ripe, I know that you and I have the same purpose, so I told you, what do you say?" When he explained this, I was a little angry, and raised my fist to fight with Liu Sandao, but was stopped by Liu Shiyi: "Bullet, what do you want to do?" Since the village chief has said so, now there are only these people in us, what we need is unity, not this! ”

Liu Sandao said with a smile: "It's just that I asked someone from my Liu family village to act as a villager, but you think it's someone from the town." ”

Liu Sandao's explanation, I do understand a little, it turns out that he is 50 kilometers away from the Liu family village and he is going to hunt for treasure and fortune of some villagers gathered here, mixed into our team, and when we found out something good, they will catch the fish, but from now it seems that the villagers under his cottage king are now bitten to death by this worm. I think this is what Liu Sandao is willing to tell the truth. Thinking about the fact that this person who received me at the beginning turned out to be a fake village chief, I felt a little fooled in my heart.

"I see." Liu Shiyi said with a sigh.

"But that's not right, bullet, didn't you and Liu Shiyi just say that there were a lot of people in the town when you came? But Liu Sandao invited his manpower, I wonder if these people are the same people? And when we passed by here when we came, we didn't see anyone in this ancient town, what's going on? The people in the town can't all disappear all at once! Xiaobei asked.

Liu Shiyi and I looked at each other, because the villagers I saw when she and I passed by here were different from the villagers that Liu Sandao brought from the village, whether it was clothing or eyes, they were different. At this time, my heart is beating, are we not seeing people?
