By noon the next day, we had all our tools, and as for some special desert exploration tools, as well as food and other things, we had to refill them when we got to the location. After all the preparations were made, our group boarded the train, and after nearly three days, we finally arrived in Urumqi, Xinjiang, and then got in touch with the local government, and took a jeep to Ruojiang County in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture.www.biquge.info

Ruojiang County is located in the southeast of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on the southeastern edge of the Taklamakan Desert in the eastern Tarim Basin, and is the largest county in China, about the area of two Zhejiang provinces, with a total population of only more than 30,000 people.

When we arrived in Ruojiang County, it was already evening, and our car drove directly to Ruojiang Town and stayed in a local hotel. After a long journey, there was no activity at all at night, and after a cold shower, we went to rest, and when we woke up, it was already ten o'clock the next morning.

As is customary, we had another meeting before we set off, and Tan Jia said to us: "We are going to leave in the afternoon, and we will pass through Shanshan County on the way, which can be said to be our last stop, and we must complete everything there." I don't know if you have any other good suggestions, but if not, let's go. ”

Professor Zhang raised his eyes and said: "Don't worry, I have now thought of a very critical problem, we seem to need a local guide, otherwise, just relying on the map in our hands and the GPS navigation system, it will definitely take a lot of trouble to find the location of the ancient Loulan ruins." ”

The ancient country of Loulan is located in the depths of the desert, although countless explorers have been there, but until now, there is no exact road map, and what we are following is only the road map left by archaeologists back then. There are often windy and sandy weather in the desert, and over time, the places marked on the map have basically changed, and the original road map is likely to be useless.

Everyone thought about it for a while, and felt that it was very necessary, so Sankra said: "What kind of guide to find, just find a helicopter to take us over, isn't it all troublesome?" ”

Tan Jia said angrily: "Our actions are already very secretive, and you are looking for a helicopter with such fanfare, isn't it tantamount to telling everyone that we are going to explore the desert?" Think about it, in such a situation, we can escape the eyes and ears of some people, such as the treacherous and cunning third uncle. ”

Sankra didn't think about it at all, and when he heard Tan Jia say this, he was immediately speechless, and his old face turned red, and then he didn't say anything more.

After a while, Professor Zhang said with some concern: "But we are not familiar with the place, even if we have to find a guide, it is not an easy thing." ”

Biaozi seemed to think of something, slapped his head and smiled: "Hehe, this thing is really a coincidence, I have such a friend, who is very passionate about desert culture, whether it is the exquisite ancient city or the ancient country of Loulan, he has studied it for a long time, and he has been exploring in the desert all year round, and it is estimated that it is more than enough to be a guide." ”

Tan Jia was a little suspicious, and couldn't help asking: "This is the best thing, but how much do you know about that friend of yours, can you reassure us?" ”

Biaozi patted his chest and smiled: "You don't have to worry about this at all, I have known him for many years, and I can't understand his personality anymore, we can definitely rest assured." But what worries me most now is that he's not in Xinjiang, and if that's the case, maybe we'll have to wait a few days. ”

Tan Jia said: "Since you have so much confidence in your friend, then what are you waiting for, hurry up and call to contact you." ”

After the meeting, Biaozi called his friend, and it was very exciting that things were really so coincidental, his friend was in Shanshan County. Biaozi's friend was really a righteous person, and as soon as he heard that Biaozi was looking for him as a guide, he agreed without saying a word, which swept away our worries.

On the same day, we rushed to Shanshan County, made an appointment with the location, and the two sides met at a bar. This bar is very famous in the local area, both day and night, many people come to visit, when we went, there were no seats, and after waiting for half an hour, a few customers left, and we booked a table.

At this time, the friend who saw the mark had not yet come, and looking at the noisy bar environment, Tan Jia couldn't sit still, so he asked the mark to call to urge people. Biaozi nodded, took out his mobile phone, and was about to make a call, when suddenly his eyes looked straight at the entrance of the bar, and his expression was as if someone had immobilized him.

After a long time, Biaozi came back to his senses, his face was full of smiles, and he muttered to himself: "Oh my mother, mature women are fucking on time!" ”

Tan Jia whispered "pervert", glaring at the mark viciously, with a look of contempt on his face, but the rest of us turned our heads to look at the strange. When we looked at the mark, we saw a girl in a sun hat walking in, looking at us with a smile on her face, showing her white and neat teeth.

This woman is wearing short-legged jeans, and a pair of fair and slender thighs are exposed, which looks very seductive; is draped in a pink casual coat with two white-haired rabbits printed on it, which adds a bit of cuteness; Her hair was coiled behind her head, and underneath it was a melon seed face, and a pair of big clear eyes blinked and blinked, as if she could speak.

It's no wonder that the pervert of the mark has been staring at people's thighs, it turns out to be a beauty.

Tan Jia saw that our people stayed on the girl's body, and deliberately cleared her throat to attract our attention, we only felt a little embarrassed by this move, and turned around one after another, pretending to be nothing, only to find that Tan Jia's eyes were about to erupt fire, and she was looking at us people with a smile.

Several of us have ghosts in our hearts, where do we dare to look at him, and we all looked away, Tan Jia said with a slight anger: "Sun Dabiao, don't patronize women, why don't you call your friend quickly?" ”

Biaozi came back to his senses at this time, his face was still smiling, and he replied: "No need to rush, she is already here." ”

We were taken aback when the girl we had seen earlier came over and smiled and said, "Hey! Hello, I am Biaozi's friend, that is, the guide you are looking for, it's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Liu Feiyu. With that, he stretched out his hand and seemed to shake hands with us one by one.

Where would we have thought that this girl was the guide found by the standard, and we were all stunned for a while, even Tan Jia. Seeing our appearance, Liu Feiyu looked surprised, turned around and whispered to the marker: "What's wrong with your friends, is there something wrong with my behavior just now?" ”

We came back to our senses all of a sudden, and we all felt that we were being rude, Tan Jia reacted the fastest, immediately reached out and shook Liu Feiyu, and said with a smile: "No, no, it's just a little accident, I didn't expect the guide Sun Dabiao to find is a little sister." ”

Liu Feiyu's eyes rolled around, and he seemed to understand something, and said to the target: "It must be that you kid deliberately concealed everyone's information, right?" ”

The standard thief smiled: "I just want to give everyone an accident, I really don't mean anything else." ”

Biaozi wanted to say something, but Sankra immediately stopped him and said, "What are you talking about, didn't you see Miss Feiyu shaking hands with us, what kind of mess, flash me aside." ”

Sankra stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face, and said politely: "It's a pleasure to meet Miss Feiyu, my name is Sankra, from the beautiful Tibetan plateau, if you are interested in going there, remember to find me, I will be your free guide." ”

Sankra's hand was just about to hold Liu Feiyu's little hand, Li Yishan suddenly killed, pushed Sankra away, and said: "What's the hurry, didn't you see me sitting in front of you, you don't understand the rules of first come and come first, what kind of quality do you have?" Turning around, he immediately changed his face, and said to Liu Feiyu with an amiable look: "My name is Li Yishan, Miss Feiyu, it's a pleasure to meet you, if you want to travel to the United States, please remember to find me." After speaking, he also stretched out his right hand.

When Biaozi saw this, he naturally understood the reason, got up and stood in front of Li Yishan and Sankla, and said a little unhappily: "I warn you two grandsons, Feiyu is my friend, you are not allowed to come nonsense, otherwise I will not be finished with you." ”

Li Yishan's face changed, and he said with a little guilt: "Fatty, I treat you as a friend of life and death, I didn't expect you to slander your partner's reputation like this, it really hurts me, forget it, I will not have you as a friend in the future." ”

Sankra followed: "That's right, isn't it just a handshake, as for that?" Miss Feiyu, this fat man has always been unreliable, don't listen to him, he is a hypocrite who is inconsistent with what he is on the outside. ”

Liu Feiyu suddenly realized, only to understand that the two people in front of him wanted to take advantage of themselves, and their faces changed at the moment, but they immediately returned to the same as before, just looked at Li Yishan and Sankra with a smile, turned their eyes, and said: "The two little brothers are really interesting, but I'm not interested in your type, you guys are wrong!" ”

Biaozi shouted happily, and took the opportunity to sneer and said: "It's still my little feather's fiery eyes, and he can see the true face of these two boys at a glance, but let me tell you, these two grandsons have more than that, you have to be more vigilant." ”

Sankla and Li Yishan immediately blushed, feeling that their self-esteem was a little unbearable, but they couldn't find Liu Feiyu to let out this evil breath, so they had to point the finger at the mark, and just wanted to lift the bar, Tan Jia glanced at them coldly, and said in a scolding voice: "Have you two made enough trouble, have you forgotten that we still have something to do?" ”

Sankla and Li Yishan immediately shivered, they didn't dare to put another fart, and sat back depressed, just drinking beer cup after glass, and clinking glasses with each other from time to time, with the meaning of sympathy.

After Tan Jia introduced everyone and Liu Feiyu one by one, he said: "We are going to find the old site of the ancient country of Loulan this time, and I heard Sun Dabiao say that my sister is very familiar with this area, and she has also been to the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan, so I specially invited you to be our guide." ”

Liu Feiyu smiled and said with some surprise: "It turns out that you are also going to Loulan Ancient Kingdom, is there anything other than anything in Loulan Ancient Country recently, why do everyone like to go there, just now a group of people asked me to be a guide, the purpose is the same as you, it is also to go to Loulan Ancient Kingdom, and the cost to me is very high, if it weren't for the call from the standard, I guess I would have set off with them now." ”

We all moved in our hearts, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, Tan Jia asked suspiciously: "Xiao Yu, you make things clear, who else has looked for you besides us?" ”

Liu Feiyu frowned, as if reminiscing, and after a while, said: "Just this morning, five middle-aged people with sunglasses found me and said that as long as I brought them to the ancient city of Loulan, they would give me 200,000 yuan for hard work. ”

Tan Jia thought for a while, and then asked, "Is the person looking for you in his fifties years old, and there are a few foreigners around him, right?" ”

Liu Feiyu shook his head: "No, the leader is about thirty-five years old, and the people under him are also Chinese, about the same age as him, but they wear sunglasses, and I don't go to my heart, so I can't remember their general appearance, how, do you know these people?" ”

Tan Jia didn't want to tell outsiders about the scientific research group, so he shook his head and smiled: "Yes, there is a professor who also brought a group of people to the ancient country of Loulan, and we know each other, but he came here a long time ago, I thought that the group of people you met was that professor?" ”

Liu Feiyu pretended not to care at all on the surface, but the moment she lowered her head, I saw a strange color flashing in her eyes, and I don't know if I had doubts about Tan Jia's words.

Diverting the topic, Tan Jia continued to ask: "Xiao Yu, I heard that the ancient country of Loulan was buried by the wind and sand, and even the surrounding environment has changed, I don't know how sure you are that in such a situation, you will be sure to find the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan." ”

Liu Feiyu blinked with a pair of big eyes, and said without thinking: "I have been there three times, and the itinerary is deeply engraved in my mind, with me leading the way, you can rest assured, I will definitely take you to the ancient city of Loulan." ”

Tan Jia suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "We people have no experience in desert travel, and we don't know much about the necessary tools and food. ”

Liu Feiyu smiled: "Sister Tan is too polite, since you are a friend of the standard, that is, my friend, don't be so polite in the future, otherwise I will be embarrassed." ”

After a change of words, Liu Feiyu said: "Food and other things, we don't need to rush to buy them now, on the way to the ancient city of Loulan, there is also a supply depot, we can go there to buy it then." As for the equipment, if you don't mind, you can take me with you, and I'll give you some good advice when the time comes. ”

Tan Jia didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Sister Xiao Yu is really understanding, since this is the case, then everything is up to you." It's just that we people are in a hurry to find the ancient country of Loulan, so we can't delay at all, if Xiao Yu doesn't mind, we will go to buy equipment at night and set off early tomorrow morning, as for your labor expenses, according to what you just said, 200,000, what do you think? ”

Liu Feiyu seemed to be very happy, and said with a smile: "Sister Tan is really a happy person, so it's decided." ”

After sitting at the bar for a while, we left in a hurry, and under the leadership of Liu Feiyu, we went to an underground shopping mall in Shanshan County, where there were all kinds of tools for desert exploration. When we were at the bar, Liu Feiyu made a list for us, and we took the list and walked around the mall a few times, and the equipment we needed was all right, but it went very smoothly.

In the evening, we stayed in a small hotel, chatted in Tan Jia's room for a while, and then went back to our rooms to rest. Early the next morning, Tan Jia came to call the door, we packed up our things, left the room, and prepared to take a ride to the suburbs of Shanshan County, from where we set off into the desert.

At this time, Liu Feiyu suddenly shouted, "Oops! Under our surprised look, Liu Feiyu blamed himself and said: "Sister Tan, I'm really sorry, I forgot that we still have an indispensable tool that we haven't purchased. ”

"What is it?" We looked at her with curiosity, and we couldn't think of any other tools that were indispensable for desert exploration.

Liu Feiyu said: "It's okay to extend the desert, a better off-road vehicle can be used as a means of transportation, but in the depths of the desert, the car is useless, we have to find a few camels, otherwise so much equipment and food, just by our people, we can't bring it at all." ”

Camel? It dawned on us that we had forgotten that the Desert King's camel was coming. Tan Jia seemed to be in a hurry, so she said: "Yes, I actually forgot such an important thing, fortunately the girl remembered it, otherwise we would have to go back." ”

In the desert wasteland, camels are the most important means of transportation, so there are many camel trading markets in Shanshan County. Under the leadership of Liu Feiyu, we hurried to the camel trading market, and through a negotiation with the shopkeeper, we finally got ten camels.

It is estimated that there have been too many accidents in the desert in the past two years, and the store is very worried about us, so we paid a high insurance premium to let us take the camels away. Before leaving, the shopkeeper said in a very obscure Mandarin: "As long as the camels come back in their entirety, I will return the insurance money to you, and I wish you good luck and a safe return, as well as my camels."
