Walk along the dry riverbed, which is full of Nima piles.

I don't know who the voice on the intercom came from, but I did what he wanted, because I believed that perseverance was victory.

Sure enough, swimming on the riverbed and climbing up the hill, it is a quaint little village.

It is a hilly area, and the village is built on top of the hill layer by layer, and a child grazing cattle at the entrance of the village saw me and said to me, "Are you here to play too?" ”

He had a strong accent, but I understood it and asked, "Have you ever seen a sister here?" ”

The little boy shook his head, and the sound of a gong came from the village, and I followed the sound to see a group of villagers beating gongs and drums towards the entrance of the village, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly retreated down the mountain.

"Don't be afraid, honorable guest, we are here to meet you!"

A middle-aged man yelled at me.

I stopped, and they quickly gathered around me and took my bag from my hand, and the middle-aged man introduced to me: "It was Professor Shangguan who asked us to meet you, and that female companion of yours is also in our village!" ”

The villagers were dressed in felt clothes, some of them in animal skins, and they were all strong and rugged.

Nervously, I followed the men into the village and into a stone courtyard.

Teacher Shangguan stood at the door of the hall and said to me, "Xiaolan, come in quickly!" ”

In the hall, Teacher Shangguan and I sat on the floor, the floor was covered with thick felt, and a woman served us cheese and glutinous rice cakes, as well as hot milk.

I immediately asked, "Teacher Shangguan, is Murong also here?" ”

Teacher Shangguan replied unhurriedly: "Yes, she was sick and was rescued by the villagers!" ”

I asked, "Since these villagers have brought Murong back, why don't they wake me up and bring me back to the village with them?" I'm still worried, and who's encouraging me on the intercom? ”

From outside the hall walked a stocky middle-aged man, dressed in black leather trousers, sat down on the ground.

Teacher Shangguan introduced: "Xiaolan, this is the village chief Georgia of the village, this is a mysterious village, you can't find it on the map, I am lucky that I was brought here, and you and Murong also insist on finding here!" ”

Georgia said to me in a deep voice, "Professor Shangguan has been considering whether it is appropriate for you to be his assistant? He needs a young, smart, persevering, and moral person, why did I only bring Murong back to the village, it is to test your personality in secret, and the voice on the walkie-talkie is Teacher Shangguan asking others to encourage you! ”

After hearing this, I suddenly realized, and then asked, "Teacher Shangguan, what are you doing here?" How long do you plan to stay? ”

The other party replied: "I'm going to stay here for a while, but you and Murong can leave, and before leaving, I'm going to take you to meet someone!" ”

I haven't had time to ask who I want to meet?

The village chief warmly invited me to drink, and asked his wife to serve the beef and mutton that had just come out of the pot.

Under the call of food, I devoured it unceremoniously, and after eating and drinking, I asked Teacher Shangguan, "How is Murong doing now?" Can you take me to see her? ”

Teacher Shangguan said: "Yes, but my legs are slightly injured, let Georgia take you to see Murong!" ”

Georgia took me out of the courtyard and up the mountain, and in an old mansion, I saw lush Gesang flowers, and in the main hall room, a young girl in a yellow sweater was taking care of Murong Ying, who was unconscious on a wooden bed.

"Hello village chief, this girl has just taken medicine and is resting!"

When I saw Murong Ying, whose face was flushed and sleeping, I was relieved.

Georgia said to me: "You can sit still and not take advantage of others' dangers, you are a gentleman!" ”

"Why is your village isolated, and how do you live?"

The village chief said, "Let Ellie explain it to you, I have other things to do!" ”

Georgia hurried away, and Ellie motioned for me to sit down on the carpet of felt, and she poured me a stone glass of water and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask me!" ”

I took the cup carved out of stone and asked, "Is your name Ellie?" ”

The other party nodded in response, and I continued: "My name is Lan Zeqiong, what is the name of your village?" ”

Ellie shook her head and replied, "Our village has no name, and it moves, and sometimes we meet other shepherds, and we also break into the nearby market towns and exchange beef and mutton for their salt and peppers. ”

"Isn't there anyone coming to your village?"

Ellie replied, "Yes, but they didn't make it through the Valley of Ecstasy, in fact, the bones in the Valley of Lost Soul are not only animal, but also human!" ”

In the melodious voice of Ellie, I drank so hard that I fell asleep.

I didn't have any dreams, I just felt tired.

When it was dark, Ellie woke me up, and there was a rumbling thunder in the night sky. Is it going to be a thunderstorm again?

The village chief walked in with Teacher Shangguan on his back and motioned for Aili to leave.

I saw Zawang also enter the main hall and was about to greet him, but Georgia motioned for us to keep quiet, and Murong Ying also sat up from the bed and asked with sleepy eyes: "Xiaolan, what time is it?" ”

Teacher Shangguan replied, "Murong, you can continue to sleep!" It's just getting dark now. ”

Murong said, "Teacher Shangguan, are you here?" Xiaolan, you're here too, I need to go and make it easier! ”

Shangguan said to me: "You help Murong out of the door and let Aili accompany her to make it convenient!" ”

I answered, came to the bedside, grabbed Murong's arm, and asked her to get out of bed.

She spread her woolen clogs and walked slowly through the main hall, where Ellie was already waiting, and I watched the two leave at the door.

Zawang, Georgia and Professor Shangguan were talking quickly, but I couldn't understand what they said, but I heard Murong Ying's voice: "When did I come here?" The young man who sent me out didn't do anything to me, did he? ”

Aili said: "That Lan He just came to our village today, and the village chief said that he is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he did not take advantage of people's danger!" ”

Murong Ying was relieved, the two returned to the room, and I helped her to bed.

Georgia said to us: "Welcome to this place, I salute you on behalf of the whole village!" ”

When I heard this, I wondered, why did they salute us?

Georgia introduced: "Our village has existed for tens of thousands of years, more than a hundred years ago, a group of foreigners broke into our village, snatched our holy relic crystal skull, without the holy relic, we can not avoid the once-in-a-century natural disaster, so I hope that the distinguished guest can help us find the crystal skull, rescue our villagers and danger!" ”

"Crystal skulls?"

Zawang responded and introduced: "It's a skull carved from crystal!" ”

I looked at Teacher Shangguan, and he said slowly: "Actually, I have already heard the whereabouts of this crystal skull, and it is now being stored in a museum in New York, USA, for exhibition, but it is a fake, and the real crystal skull is unknown?" ”

Georgia added: "So I want to ask Classmate Lan and Miss Murong to help us recover the crystal skull!" ”

I immediately shook my head in refusal, admitting that I didn't have the ability.

Teacher Shangguan said: "Of course you don't have this ability, Murong has this ability, but she doesn't have the determination and motivation, so I hope the two of you are paired up to help the village chief recover the crystal skull!" ”

Georgia said: "The natural disaster is approaching, if we can't find the crystal skull, our entire village will be wiped out, and a nearby village will be wiped out by the natural disaster, and the whole village will be reduced to ashes!" ”

Murong asked, "Then why don't you run away?" ”

"Our village is mobile, so no matter where we flee, we can't escape the catastrophe!" ”
