As soon as Lao Li said this, Gao Chao and the three of them hurriedly looked ahead, just beside the far highway, an inconspicuous dirt road and the highway wanted to intersect, and the other end led to a low ravine.

On both sides of the highway are desolate Gobi Deserts, and whenever the wind blows, it will bring up a cloud of dust, but at the end of the dirt road, that is, in the ravine, there seems to be a little green.

As the pickup truck drove closer and closer, when they came to the fork in the road, they really saw clearly, the end of the road to the ravine, there was still green grass growing on the side of the road, the more it seemed that the grass grew more luxuriantly, looking at the past from a distance, there was a feeling of a desert oasis.

Gao Chao was a little puzzled, and said: "This place seems to be quite good, why does this village have to be moved?" ”

Lao Li said: "Then who knows, there seem to be a lot of legends about this village, in fact, don't look at the location of this village in the westernmost place, but in terms of speaking, among the three villages, the geographical location of Išek Village is the best, it can hide from the cold wind in the ravine, and the grassland inside is also good, it was said that the sheep here are the fattest and the most, why do you call this village Išek, because Išek means sheep, so this village is actually called Sheep Village." ”

Gao Chao nodded, only then did he know the origin of Išek, and he hurriedly asked, "Lao Li, have you been here before?" ”

Lao Li said: "I have been here a few times, but I have always passed by here with tourists, because some tourists want to walk deep in the Pamir, so they will drive through here, but they have never entered." ”

As he spoke, Lao Li suddenly sighed, and continued: "Tell me something from my heart." I really don't want to go in. It is said that this Išek village is always haunted. Even the locals don't dare to go in in broad daylight, and if they do, it's really a bit unlucky......

Gao Chao looked at Lao Li and said, "Otherwise, you take us to the entrance of the village, and then you wait for us in the car, we will go in and find it ourselves, and if we can't find it, we will come out." ”

Lao Li smiled embarrassedly. Said: "That's okay, I'll park the car at the entrance of the village, and you try to go back as quickly as possible." ”

As he spoke, Lao Li had already stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove the car onto the dirt road.

The dirt road was very bumpy, as if no one had been here for a long time, and the grass on both sides was getting taller and taller, and it looked like no sheep had come here to graze for a long time.

After two turns from the ravine, it was not far before you could see some dilapidated houses in the color of loess. So Lao Li parked the car on the side of the road, found an empty spot and turned around. So he turned off the car.

When everyone got out of the car, they found that the abandoned village was right in front of them, and looking in from their position, although they couldn't see the whole picture of the village, they could feel that the scale of this Ishek village in the ravine was really not small.

Gao Chao looked at his watch, it was now more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still plenty of time, because this was already in the westernmost part of Western Xinjiang, and the sun would not set until about nine o'clock in the evening, so the daylight time here was very delayed.

They said goodbye to Lao Li, and the three of them walked inside from the entrance of the village.

There is only one small road at the entrance of the village, the road is full of dust, and every time you step on it, it will bring up a layer of floating soil, Gao Chao frowned, and said that there is really no wind in this ravine, if there is a little wind, this road will not be like this.

On both sides of the path, there are dilapidated houses, basically mud houses, which are mixed with local clay and mixed into mud, and then mixed into things like hay stalks, and then made into mud blocks, and then used to build houses, this method is still used today, living in it is warm in winter and cool in summer, the cost is not high, and the maintenance is also convenient, although it is simple, but in the conditions of the year, the whole village is such a building.

Now the houses on both sides are dilapidated, and they can really be described as ruined and ruined, and basically none of the walls are intact, and there is not a single house that can still be inhabited, all of which have been destroyed by time.

Gao Chao looked at such a scene, and his heart was also beating a drum, saying that this village has become like this, how can there be people living here? Besides, the old man Essati is old, how can he live here?

In fact, what Gao Chao thought of, Xia Qing and the fat man also thought of, so they just walked out of the middle not far, they were all a little discouraged, seeing this situation, it seems that it is impossible for the old man Aseti to be here.

But since it's in, we still have to see what happens.

Xia Qing suddenly saw that there seemed to be some small white dots on the hillside not far away, and when she took a closer look, those were all sheep grazing on the hillside.

Xia Qing thought about it, then pointed to the hillside over there and said, "Look, there are sheep grazing over there." ”

The fat man looked in the direction Xia Qing pointed, but pretended to be excited, and said, "Great, great, there are sheep eating grass, I'm so excited." ”

But after he finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Qing, and continued: "Is it special to have sheep eating grass?" You haven't seen it, have you? ”

Xia Qing also glanced at the fat man, and said: "Do you remember, Ambury mentioned it before, he said that the sheep herder once saw the old man Essetti when he was herding sheep, although he didn't see it clearly, but he felt that the person was very similar to him." ”

Gao Chao touched his chin and said, "You mean, maybe the sheep herder saw it on the hillside over there?" ”

Xia Qing said: "Yes, you see, on the slopes on both sides of this ravine, only the slope over there is gentler, and the meadow is the best, so the sheep herding must be the old man Aiseti who saw on the slope over there." ”

The fat man slapped his thigh and said, "So that's the case, that means that the old man Aiseti he saw is likely to live under that hillside?" ”

Xia Qing nodded and said, "I think so, or ...... Let's go over there and have a look. ”

Gao Chao nodded in agreement with Xia Qing's point of view, but the fat man seemed a little hesitant, he tiptoed to look over there, and found that there was still a long distance down the hillside, and the dilapidated houses over there seemed to be quite dense.

The fat man grinned and said, "The locals say that this village is haunted, do you think it is possible?" I think it's a bit evil over there, why are those houses so densely built, they don't seem to be the same as the surroundings? Do you think there's really any danger over there? ”

In fact, what the fat man said was not false at all, of course Gao Chao and Xia Qing also noticed it, but Gao Chao still squinted at the fat man and said, "Fat man, you shouldn't be scared, right?" Otherwise, Xia Qing and I will go over and take a look, you go back to the village to find Lao Li, I see that the two of you are similar, quite a match, let him tell you some more ghost stories, I think you must have heard enough in the car before. ”

is super cynical, of course the fat man can hear it, and it is in front of Xia Qing, which makes the fat man feel even more embarrassed.

So the fat man pouted and said, "Who the is scared?" I'm just a little worried, after all, this place is so desolate, I think if there are any beasts or something, we don't even have weapons to defend ourselves, what do you say then? ”

Gao Chao scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, there is a flock of lambs on the hillside, if you are a beast, who do you choose?" ”

After speaking, Gao Chao glanced at the fat man, turned around and went forward.

There were two people left, Xia Qing and the fat man, the fat man was so red that his face was flushed, Xia Qing looked at him, but he only squinted and smiled, the fat man couldn't say a word, so he had to follow Gao Chao and Xia Qing and walk to the hillside together. (To be continued.) )
