Chapter 13: The Vanishing Fairy Lake

After Qianyu woke up, he looked at everything around him, his eyes were a little confused, and he saw that he was lying in Zhang Yuntian's arms, and suddenly his feet seemed to be better, and he suddenly pushed Zhang Yuntian away and stood up, but he didn't stand very firmly, we were all stunned for a moment, seeing that Zhang Yuntian didn't know what to do, he dared to love This Qianyu and Zhang Yuntian have no special relationship, looking at Zhang Yuntian's hair floating there, covering his face, and I don't know what kind of expression he is.

Qianyu stood on the sand with a slight bend of his knees, his eyes glanced at the master, he didn't know what he was thinking, his face was a little flushed, I was also puzzled, and thought: "If you don't let others hug you, you won't hug it, what are you doing looking at my master!" "Having said that, the master didn't look at her at all, but somehow, this Qianyu just wanted to look at the master.

Although I knew that Qianyu knew the master when she was a woman, I can't guess what the relationship between them is, I don't have time to understand the things between adults, besides, the little master is a monster who doesn't know how long he has lived, maybe anyone can have something to do with him, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a thousand-year-old demon.

"My aunt, are you okay? If it's all right, we'll have to keep going, or we'll have to die here in a black sandstorm!" Seeing that Qianyu was able to stand up, Abu said with a smirk.

Qianyu was also impatient with Abu, and suddenly changed her previous delicate state, turned her head and scolded Abu: "It's your business, you go yours, I don't need you to care if I leave or not!" After saying that, his feet bent again, and he almost sat on the ground.

"Yo yo yo! I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it, then we can go! Abu was a little sneering, seeing that Qianyu was still reckless, and his words were a little indifferent.

Before he finished speaking, Qianyu stood up and climbed on the camel, and all of us said, "Let's go, don't miss the hour!" ”

This woman really couldn't guess what she was thinking in her heart, although Zhang Yuntian was his subordinate, but seeing Qianyu like this, it was completely different from usual, and she asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Qianyu nodded, signaling that it was okay, Zhang Yuntian climbed on the camel behind Qianyu, the young master rubbed his eyes and followed, I walked with him at the end, and my father was sandwiched between me and Zhang Yuntian.

"Where to go next, this vast desert, I don't know the east, west, north and south." I said, the second uncle heard me say this, took out a compass to measure it, pointed in the direction of the front again, and said, "Go this way!"

But when Aria heard it, she laughed and said: "You don't need to test, I have been walking this road for more than ten years, and I followed the adults here before I finished elementary school, and then I became a guide directly, but I was a little worried when it came to the wind season!" "Dare to love this Alia has already written down all the roads, but the terrain in this desert is changing at any time, and we have to admire Arria's discernment in the desert.

We've been walking for about a day or two, and the wind and sand in this desert are really different, the black sandstorm comes when it's windy, and even Alia can't do anything, sometimes the wind is so strong that we can't even stand, we have to lie on the ground so that we won't be blown away, and when we get up, we are almost covered with sand.

And two or three days before and after, our water is not very much, in the sandstorm also lost some water and tools, seeing that their water bottles are about to empty, even at the moment to eat can only eat some dry food, completely can not be boiled with water, people are panicked, if this water is drunk, I am afraid it will be difficult to support out of the desert.

It was dusk, we were still on the camels, and the thousand rains had fully recovered, and two or three days had passed, and we began to wonder if we had gone by mistake, when the old lady asked Alia, "Little girl, how long will we have to walk to reach Lop Nur!" ”

Aria seemed a little thirsty, pursed her lips and said, "It's not far ahead." After saying that, he got off the camel, led the camel directly and led the way, and said, "We should be there before dark." ”

In the past, Lop Nur was a vast, beautiful, and vibrant lake, surrounded by herds of cattle and horses, surrounded by green forests, and clear rivers, an oasis of life, known as the Fairy Lake, but now it has become a dead desert, with poplar forests and salt crusts on the surface, but since the motherland first tested the first atomic bomb here, it has changed a lot.

We walked forward unhurriedly, already physically and mentally exhausted, only to see Aria suddenly do it, we happened to be on a huge sand dune again, tonight was not like the previous two days, always wind and sand, but a breeze hit, a cool, although the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, but here is not so cold.

"Why don't you go? Little girl! The old lady asked when she saw Aria stop to rest.

"No need to go, Lop Nur has arrived!" Aria gasped and said, everyone just looked at the scene in front of them and didn't speak for a long time.

When I heard this, I was a little excited, and hurriedly jumped off my camel, and looked at everything under the dunes, and saw that it was a huge depression, and there were constantly raised stone piles in it, and the continuous sand dunes were one after another, as if leading to the sky, and at this time there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, illuminating the desert silvery-white.

The impact of human activities on the drying up of Lop Nur can be said to be increasing in the near future, water sources and trees are the key to the survival of the oasis in the wasteland, and the ancient city of Loulan was built in the lower delta of the Peacock River, where the water system was developed at that time, and there were flourishing poplar trees for its construction.

When the Loulan people built more than 100,000 square meters of Loulan ancient city on the side of Lop Nur, they cut down many trees and reeds, which will undoubtedly have a negative effect on the environment, during this period, the intensification of human activities and the change of the water system and the destruction of the war, so that the original fragile ecological environment was further deteriorated, the "male root stump" densely planted on the No. 5 Xiaohe cemetery shows that the Loulan people have felt the crisis of tribal survival at that time, and had to pray for fertility worship to bless their children and grandchildren, but they cut down a large number of trees that are already scarce, This has exacerbated the already deteriorating local environment.

The eventual drying up of Lop Nur is related to the overdevelopment of the upper reaches of the Tarim River after liberation, when people diverted a large amount of water in the upper reaches of the Tarim River, resulting in the Tarim River water being unable to make ends meet, and the downstream of the river was cut off, which can be confirmed from the interruption of the Yellow River in recent years, and Lop Nur also began to shrink rapidly due to the lack of water supply, and finally died out.

It's just that this Loulan ancient country is in the western part of Lop Nur, and if we want to get there, we have to pass through the huge depression of Lop Nur.
