After a slight tremor, everything was calm again.

"Earthquake?" I asked.

"No, let's be careful." The grasshopper looked around very vigilantly.

The wind was getting stronger, and the bonfire had been blown out by the wind, and it was pitch black.

Mu Zhuo wanted to light the bonfire again, but tried several times without success.

Zhang Yang saw it, and immediately asked us to pack up and go with him, we couldn't move an inch in the wind, I proposed to find a place to hide first, and I felt stupid halfway through the words, there was not even a ruin in a hundred miles away, where to hide.

The five of them walked against the wind like this, I really didn't understand why Zhang Yang had to go against the wind, and I was a little complaining in my heart.

I don't know how far I've walked, and I only have the sound of the wind in my ears, and I can't hear anything from the rest.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the clouds on the horizon were shining through, Mu Zhuo was already physically exhausted, she staggered to my side, held my shoulders and squinted ahead, and said, "How can there be a city wall over there?" ”

I squinted at the ink in front of me, shook my head, looked at her and said, "How do I know, is it a ghost hitting the wall?" ”

The gnats and the eagle supported Zhang Yang to retreat from the front, and Zhang Yang said that there seems to be an ancient city in front of it, and we are lucky, so we don't have to worry about the sandstorm now.

I looked up and saw that the yolk had jumped out of the clouds, but was shrouded in a thick yellowish fog, and I was sure that there would be a big sandstorm here in one day.

The grasshopper walked in the front, and our group began to move towards the ancient city, looking very close, but it was very difficult to walk, and we still walked until noon without stopping before we reached the city gate.

The huge gate was dilapidated, and we squeezed through the cracks in its hidden door, and the inside of the gate tower was covered with yellow sand, but we could still see the layout of the ancient city.

We walked very slowly, all we saw along the way were rooftops, and we also saw some sand snakes swimming, these animals that live in the desert do not see people all year round, so we are still a little scared of each other when we meet for the first time.

As we walked, Zhang Yang suddenly stopped in front of a roof, he squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly beckoned us over, and then pointed to the roof and said to us: "Gulan Station." ”

When I heard this, I was immediately a little stunned, and Mu Zhuo also said no, because we all thought that the Kulan Post Station should be on the Kuran Trade Road, and here, it is obvious that it has deviated from the Quran Trade Road.

In the face of Mu Zhuo's questioning from me and me, Zhang Yang had his own reasoning, but he didn't say it, but asked us to clear a place as soon as possible and take refuge, because as soon as it gets dark, there will be a sandstorm, and if we are lucky, we can avoid it, and if we are unlucky, we will be buried by the mobile sand dunes.

Needless to say, in fact, we all know in our hearts that seeing the sun in the west, the grasshopper took us to start cleaning up a house, fortunately, this house has a special geographical location and is only half buried.

After a simple cleaning, I found that this place is indeed special, after so many years of wind and sand erosion, the brick houses outside have been dilapidated, but everything here seems so different.

It was dark, and sure enough, there was wind and sand, and a few of us huddled in the half of the stone house to keep warm, and a few steamed buns were roasted on the bonfire, wafting out bursts of fragrance.

Suddenly, some fine sand fell on the roof, and the grasshopper looked at the roof very alertly, and after a moment he actually smiled and said to me, "The person you want to see is here." ”

I didn't hear it clearly, so I asked again, "Who?" ”

Zhang Yang smiled mysteriously, "It's coming so fast." ”

Seeing that I still hadn't guessed who it was, Mu Zhuo asked me to listen carefully, and I listened with my ears pricked up for a while, and found that the wind outside was mixed with the sound of some bells.

"It's a camel." I said, "It's a camel, it's the sound of a camel's bell." ”

The grasshopper returned less than ten minutes after he went out, followed by a man in a leather coat, with a low brim, but judging by his figure, he looked very much like him.

The gnatwood let the man in, and he took off his hat to reveal his familiar face, and when I saw it, I almost hugged his thigh and cried.

Jiang Yuan sat by the bonfire with a tired face, and he knew that it was a day and night journey, and the hardships could be imagined.

As soon as I wanted to speak, I heard a movement on the roof, and as soon as the gnats wanted to get up, they were stopped by Jiang Yuan, and then shouted outside, and after a while, an old man in his fifties came in.

Jiang Yuan immediately let him in and asked him to sit opposite me, the old man looked around us, and when he saw Zhang Yang, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said, "You, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Yang coughed twice, smiled innocently, and said, "Aren't you here too?"

The old man took out his cigarette pouch and said while lighting a cigarette: "You stinky boys, one by one, your wings are stiff, do you want to fly?" ”

Zhang Yang coughed again, I saw that his cheeks were red, as if his daughter had wiped rouge, and knew that he might have a fever, so I asked Mu Zhuo to show him.

When the old man saw Mu Zhuo go to see Zhang Yang, he didn't say anything, but focused his attention on our side, Jiang Yuan respected the old man very much, and said, "This is Boss Xiao." ”

The old man was startled at first, then immediately returned to his previous expression and handed over a cigarette pouch, "Your grandfather smoked cigarette pouches back then, will you?" ”

I shook my hand, took the cigarette pouch and sent it back very respectfully, saying, "I have never met my grandfather, and no one in the Xiao family has taught me." ”

The old man smiled, took two puffs, and enjoyed it very much, then patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder and said, "We'll leave at dawn." ”

When Zhang Yang heard this, he immediately sat up and said, "Are you going too?" ”

I saw that his expression was wrong, and immediately looked at the grasshopper, and at this time the grasshopper was also looking at me with a puzzled expression, I shrugged at him, and then looked at Jiang Yuan, who was looking at the bonfire at the moment, and seemed to be very concerned.

The old man pointed at Zhang Yang with a cigarette pouch and pot, snorted twice as if he was smiling, and said, "Don't look down on the old man, you kid, without me, Jiang Yuan would not have been able to get here so quickly."

The more I listened, the more curious I was about the identity of this old man, and when I couldn't bear it, I poked Jiang Yuan on the shoulder with my finger, and he looked back at me, meaning are you in trouble.

I winked at him, and pointed at the old man again, Jiang Yuan just wanted to speak when the old man went to get dry food, and after he left, the old man looked at me and said, "If there is anything to ask me directly, don't beat around the bush." ”

As soon as I saw that the old man was still talking impulsively, I was excited and asked, "I just want to know where you are sacred." ”

The old man looked at me for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing and said, "You want to know who I am?" Well, I'm not going to tell you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present laughed, even the grasshopper raised the corners of his mouth, I glared at him, he immediately restrained the smile on his face, and made a gesture at me, I immediately got up and walked out, and the grasshopper followed.

The wind outside was already very strong, Jiang Yuan walked out from the back of the house with a bag of food, and when he saw the two of us standing outside, he asked what was wrong, I told him what had just happened, and he also smiled after hearing it, and said, "Brother Fang Zi, can't you guess it until now?" ”

After saying that, he went back, and the grasshopper looked at me and said, "The answer is about to come out, do you still need me to decipher it?" ”

I was stunned, and suddenly I thought of someone, looked at the gnats with wide eyes, and said, "It can't really be him, how is this possible?" ”

The Grasshopper nodded very seriously, "Only he can rush here with supplies in such a short time to make peace with us." ”
