This old man named Shu Muhua listened to me, and then translated it to his patriarch, and his patriarch talked to him for a long time, and finally Shu Muhua said to me: "The patriarch said, let us prepare and set off tomorrow." ”

"Let's go?" I was a little surprised and asked, "If nothing else, you don't have any transportation here, how can we walk in the desert?" If you have to rely on walking, it is absolutely impossible, you will have to be tired and choke if you can't walk far, and if you don't find Longcheng, we will have to die in this desert. ”

The fat man was also surprised, and after listening to me, he also said: "No, uncle, I think you should send us out first, find our companions first, and then go together, besides, they will definitely be very anxious if they can't find us." ”

After hearing this, the old man lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, transportation is not a problem, but it is a bit tricky to find your companions. ”

I thought to myself that what Shu Muhua said was not unreasonable, the second master and they don't know where to drive now, even if they go out, where to find them is a problem, in this desert, without transportation, it is almost like sending us to death, so can you let the old man send us to Lop Nur Village first? It wouldn't be too far away, but what was their means of transportation?

I told Shu Muhua my idea, and he said that he didn't know where Lop Nur Village was, but he could try to find it, and if he couldn't find it, he had to go back and find a way.

The fat man and I looked at each other helplessly, there was really no good way now, it seemed that we could only go back to the ground first and then make arrangements.

At this time, my stomach suddenly rumbled, since the storm that night until now, the fat man and I have not eaten anything, I don't know how long we have been in a coma, I looked at the fat man and asked, "Fat brother, are you hungry?" ”

The fat man said with a bitter face: "I'm hungry for a long time." ”

We looked at Shu Muhua directly, he smiled, and understood what we meant, so he said goodbye to the patriarch, went out of the gate and turned into a corridor, and finally came to a cave room, this cave room was much simpler than the patriarch just now, there were stools and tables made of poplar wood, Shu Muhua took out some naan from the cupboard in the house, and then poured a bowl of water for the fat man and us.

The fat man picked up the naan and ate it in a big gulp, I was also hungry, but as soon as I took a bite, I felt that this naan was really difficult to swallow, so I frowned and asked: "Uncle, you have eaten this all these years?" ”

Shu Muhua smiled bitterly and said, "What else can you eat?" It's good to have this, but if you're lucky, you'll be able to catch a few fish from the underground water source. ”

"Really? It's rare to see fish in the underground rivers of this desert. I said with a little surprise.

"Hehe, you better eat first, and I'll take you to see our underground facilities in a while." Shu Muhua said with a smile.

I couldn't wait to see their underground structures, so I took a big bite of them, and after eating, we followed Shu Muhua to the place he said.

We came to a huge clearing, there were green plants growing in the field, and there were countless lights shining down overhead, like thousands of small suns, I was really stunned by the sight in front of me, where did this sunlight come from?

I asked Shu Muhua suspiciously: "How far are we from the ground now?" ”

"It's probably more than a thousand meters."

"And where does all this sunlight come from?"

"Bronze mirror."

Listening to Shu Muhua say this, I noticed that the little sun in the sky was actually composed of a lot of copper mirrors, then they must have used the reflection principle of the mirror to lead the sunlight from the ground to the ground, I couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of wisdom, but it is not easy to lead the sunlight down from a thousand meters underground, I really want to see how they do it.

So, I asked Shu Muhua to take me to have a look, Shu Muhua frowned, "It is a forbidden place in the clan, you must know that this mirror facility is related to the fate of our survival, if it is destroyed, we will face the danger of extinction." ”

Seeing Shu Muhua's difficult appearance, I didn't want to be difficult, so I said: "Since this is the case, then I won't be reluctant, and take us to see the underground lake again, right?" ”

Shu Muhua smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding." So they took us around to other places, and it turned out that the underground lake they said was very small, about a small puddle about ten meters wide, and the water did not know where it flowed from.

"Damn, this can also be called a lake? It's too small, right? The fat man teased on the side.

Shu Muhua smiled awkwardly and said: "More than a hundred years ago, it was still very wide, but since then, the water level has been declining every year, and finally it has become what it is now, so we are in a hurry to find other places to survive, and in a few decades, we will really be exterminated." ”

"How many people are left in your clan?" I asked.

"Due to the shortage of food, there are now more than 100 people, and excluding the old and young women, there are only more than 30 people who can work." Shu Muhua said with a lament.

I could sense their crisis from Shu Muhua's tone, and it seemed that the matter of going to Dragon City was imminent, so I said, "Then let's take a rest and set off quickly." ”

Shu Muhua nodded, and then took us back to rest, on the way back, we also saw some workers working in a rock mine, Shu Muhua said that there was a salt mine they found, the salt in their food was refined from there, this area was estimated to be the sea or a lake many years ago, and then the earth's crustal movement was raised, and such a salt mine was formed, they were able to find salt mines, and they were really lucky, if people don't have salt to eat, the consequences are really serious, I suddenly thought, where do they get the things they light from?

I asked Shu Muhua this question, and he smiled and said, "We also have an oil well here, which has brown oil all year round, and we use it to light the lamp, and its brightness is very high." ”

"Can you show us there?"

"Yes." Shu Muhua said with a smile, so we followed him to the oil well.

There were two very strong samurai guards, and I asked the samurai to bring a little oil from a wooden barrel, and I looked at it carefully, and then touched a little with my hand and showed it to the fat man.

"What is this? I don't understand. The fat man said suspiciously.

"You know all day long to dig graves to find treasures, do you know if this is oil?" I glanced at the fat man with disdain.

"What? Damn, if it's really oil, wouldn't it be rich? The fat man's eyes widened as if a basin full of gold and silver jewels had reached his pocket.

I didn't pay attention to the fat man, but turned my head and asked Shu Muhua: "How do you all use this oil?" ”

"Put it on a torch, light it, light it, or put it in a container, get a wick, and light it."

I was really speechless after listening to him, but they really don't have any refining technology, if they report to the state, the country will definitely develop here, so they don't have to worry about survival, but the question is, first, can they still return to the ground to survive, second, will their identity be recognized by the state, and secondly, whether they are willing to announce their existence.

Thinking of this, I still hope that they will live like this, without being disturbed by outsiders, and now the goal is to help them find a place where they can continue to live, and if they really can't help it in the end, take this step again.

I told the fat man my thoughts, and the fat man said that it was a pity that the next big oil field could not be developed, but what I said did make sense, so I didn't talk too much about oil to Shu Muhua, and then we went back to the room arranged by Shu Muhua to rest.
