Han Zitong probably knew her brother's virtue, so she didn't say anything, just nodded at me slightly, and said, "It's all Xiao Xu who has affected you, but fortunately, it's all safe, thanks to Boss Zhou this time." "Zhou Xuanye was drinking water with a kettle, he broke into the ghost market alone to save us, and he seemed to be tired, so he didn't respond to Han Zitong's words, only leaned his neck to drink.

I looked at the time, and sure enough, it was almost dawn, and the ancient city in front of us, in the brighter and brighter desert, slowly became blurred, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight at dawn like light smoke.

At this moment, where is there any ghost market, what you see in front of you is just a piece of yellow sand.

When I think back on this night, I just feel weird and bizarre, like a dream. How could such a spectacle occur in the middle of this vast desert?

At this time, Han Xu asked his sister: "Sister, is there really a ghost in the world?" ”

Han Zitong was silent for a moment, although his face was expressionless, his voice was extremely soft: "I don't know, there are many things in this world that science can't yet explore, maybe there are, maybe not." ”

Han Xu said again: "Then what are those we just saw?" Why is the castle gone? ”

Han Zitong couldn't answer for a while, she didn't want to promote these strange things to Han Xu, but she couldn't find an excuse for a while. At this moment, Zhou Xuanye twisted the kettle and said, "It's not a ghost." Probably because the magnetic field in this area is relatively special, some magnetic fields are relatively strong, and they can record historical images of a certain period like magnetic tapes, and at a specific time, the magnetic force is excited, and this image may be released. If it was a ghost city, we wouldn't be able to escape so easily. ”

Looking at his appearance, it is a matter of fact, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have believed it. Obviously, this is just Zhou Xuanye's comforting words, some things that ordinary people can't accept, it's futile to explain too much, it's better to prevaricate with a seemingly reasonable reason.

After tossing all night, everyone was exhausted, and it stands to reason that I didn't feel like I had been in a ghost town for a long time, but as the old saying goes, it's only been a few months in the cave, and it's been a thousand years in the world, and it's already dawn.

According to the original plan, we should have reached the oasis by this time, but now we can see that it is still a vast yellow sand, tired and sleepy, not to mention how miserable it is.

Wang Zehai can't stand it first, he is fat, and he is used to being pampered on weekdays, how to eat, he can't get up when he sits on the ground at this time, and his already small eyes can't be opened at all because of sleepiness.

I'm pretty much the same, I walked all day during the day yesterday, and I didn't close my eyes at night, and at dawn, the sky will be bright, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and it is the time of drowsiness, where to walk.

But this saving people is like fighting a fire, is it possible that our group is sleeping here?

I originally wanted to grit my teeth and continue to hurry, but when I opened my mouth, it was directly a yawn, so sleepy that tears came out, and my brain was even more dizzy and swollen. I'm still like this for all the old men, let alone Tan Zitong.

What should I do now?

My mind flashed through what the man said before he died, his companion thought that the situation was already critical, no, now is not the time to rest, it is better to save people quickly, you can't die without sleeping for a day and a night. I was about to open my mouth and ask everyone to work harder, but Tan Jian untied one of the three camels, changed the equipment on it, and said, "Lao Zhou and I will rush to the oasis first, and you can rest for a while." When he said this, he looked at Han Zitong, after all, women are congenitally weak in physical strength, and we are all so embarrassed, let alone her.

I thought about it, shook my head fiercely, and said, "Boss, I'll go with you." ”

Zhou Xuanye smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "It's okay, more than one person has taken care of it." "In this way, our soldiers were divided into two roads, and the three big men took the lead to open the way.

After traveling in the desert for more than three hours, at eight o'clock in the morning, an oasis appeared in front of me.

The area of the oasis is not large, smaller than what Han Zitong described to us, and it seems that the information of her geology expert is not so accurate.

Standing on the high sand dunes, I looked through my binoculars and soon saw traces of buildings in an area to the left of the oasis.

Since there have been no people for a long time, the vegetation of the oasis is very dense, and from the telescope, you can see dense and tall plantain and other plants, and the area on the left side is covered with plants, and the movement is square and regular, so it is easy to be spotted.

I said, "That area should be a residential area, and if there is a well, it should be over there, let's go, go and see." "Maybe it's because I'm tired to a certain extent, but the moment I saw the oasis, the fatigue was reduced a lot, and standing on the top of the sand dunes, blown by the desert wind, I immediately felt a lot more energetic.

Zhou Xuanye led the camel along the way and didn't talk much. He is polite and easy-going, with me as an employee, but he has never supported me along the way, and basically does everything himself. As soon as I saw him leading the camel, I realized that I was too incompetent as an employee, so I hurriedly went over to help: "Brother Zhou, you have a break, I'll take it." ”

Zhou Xuanye smiled and said, "The camel relatives are tame, and it is not troublesome to lead. My senior brother and I have practiced since childhood, and our physical strength is better than yours, so let's rest by ourselves. "I've heard Tan Jian mention this, Taoism pays attention to health and body refining, and it can be said to have a long history in martial arts, but anyone who is born in this area has some martial arts foundation.

Tan Jian listened on the side, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Zhou Xuanye, in front of your own people, are you tired." There was something strange about what he said, and I didn't understand what it meant for a while, but of course, I did, but it was too late.

At that time, I didn't think much about Tan Jian's words, and the three of them began to head towards the oasis.

Patches of plantain shade the scorching sun, and large areas of vegetation consolidate the sediment, making the ground hard and flat, and from a barren yellow sand to a lush emerald green environment, one immediately feels relieved.

According to the theory of evolution, man's ancestors were apes and came from nature, so people's eyes and brains are naturally close to green, and it seems that there is some truth to this statement.

The neighborhood looked close, but it took half an hour to walk, and when I finally walked into it, the surrounding environment was not so pleasant. The ground has a lot of artificially polished stones, so the road surface is high and low, there are small puddles formed by water accumulation in many places, puddles are a paradise for mosquitoes to breed, walking among them mosquitoes flying, one is not careful, it flies to people's mouths, it is really disgusting and finally has to be stopped, we can only cover the sand towel in the mouth and nose to do covering, the three people look very strange.

Because the terrain here is staggered, not suitable for camels to advance, so when entering the entrance of the residential area, we tied the camel under a plantain, after the three of them entered the residential area, because of the large area of this area, we decided to divide the army into three ways to search, once found, blow the whistle to inform each other.

This kind of message whistle is a commonly used thing outdoors, the sound is sharp, penetrating, the sound can not only travel far away, but also can be used as a deterrent when encountering some small animals.

"You go over there, I'll go to the north, Tiangu, you go to the east." Zhou Xuanye divided the tasks, and the three of them separated. Before, the three of them didn't feel anything together, but once they separated, a person shuttled through this place that covered the sky and the sun, mosquitoes and flies flew around, and there were no traces, which was really a bit infiltrating.

The surrounding houses are all the kind of perennial square in Xinjiang in the past, with a simple structure but a large space, and due to the long time, the wooden doors of most of the houses have decayed, revealing black door frames. The sunlight shone down from the plantain trees and slanted into the door frame, and you could see the sand piled up in it, and there was no furniture left, which was probably taken away when we moved.

I was looking for wells, and naturally I had little interest in these dilapidated houses, but soon a discovery made my heart pound and my heart pounded.

In the doorway of one of the houses, there are footprints.

Because there was no one for a long time, a lot of sand and soil brought by the wind gathered in these open houses, so the footprints were particularly obvious.

It was clearly the footprints of several pairs of people.

Immediately I thought, could it be the man's companion?

Have they ever entered this room?
