"Different? What's the difference? It's just that the roads are wider, the houses are shorter, and the women are stronger, so what difference can there be? Xiao asked puzzledly.

"Speaking of which," Qi Dongrui pondered for a while, "It's been a lot of trouble for a long time, I haven't seen a few men in this village, it seems that all of them are women, have all the men gone out to work?" ”

After Qi Dongrui said this, Xiao Da Lip remembered something in a trance, slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right!" Indeed, just seeing a group of old ladies who are vicious and want to drive us out of the village, think about it carefully, I really haven't seen a few men! ”

Abumat's expression was flat but unpredictable, and he paused for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "There are only seven men in the village now, including me, two of them are young and strong young men, and one is in his forties, and the rest are all over half a hundred years old, and I am already the oldest in the village. ”

"Huh? What does that mean? Why are there more than 100 people, but only seven men? ”

The four of them were stunned for a while, and although Abmat spoke quietly, he felt quite miserable.

"Are all men sick and dying?" Xiao asked with a big lip.

Abumat shook his head and said, "It's not that they are sick and dead, it's that they have all entered Lop Nur!" ”

The four of them were confused when they heard this, and seeing the old man's painful appearance, Xiao opened his mouth and asked, "What do you mean that they have all entered Lop Nur?" What did they do in there? Got in this morning? Besides, what does that have to do with driving us away? ”

"You know that Lop Nur used to be a large no-man's land, right?" Abmai asked.

Sun Yan nodded and said: "As far as I know, the population of Lop Nur Town has only migrated in recent years, although the area is very large, and it is known as the largest town in Xinjiang. But the population is only 4,000. ”

"That's right, there are only four natural villages in the newly built town of Lop Nur, and our village is the closest village to Lop Nur, and the whole village originally had more than 100 households and a population of nearly 400, and all of them were Muslims. In the first few years, the people of the village lived their own way, but later, the state strongly promoted the development of tourism on our side, so more and more people began to flock to us, including a large number of backpackers, explorers, and gold diggers who were interested in Lop Nur and the ancient city of Loulan. ”

"What a good thing! The entry of people from the interior can promote the economic development of the border areas, and the state does not advocate this? Xiao pursed his lips and smiled.

"yes, that's what we thought at first." Abumat paused and said, "The arrival of these people has shattered the peace of our lives, but we are not against it, because they have brought a lot of information and money from the outside world. There were many explorers and gold prospectors who were willing to pay a lot of money to hire people from our village as their guides and take them into Lop Nur or Loulan. Their one-time money is almost enough for our living expenses for ten years, so many people can't resist such temptations and have taken up the work of leading a guide, as long as outsiders come in to find a guide, many people rush to sign up. ”

"It's all like this, your village is still a broken house, and it doesn't seem to make a lot of money! I think it's a poor jingle! Xiao said with a big lip.

"Can you fucking not interject and listen to what people say!" Sun Yan scolded angrily.

"Okay, okay, I won't interject, old man, you go on."

"We've earned the money, but we've lost it!" Abmat sighed deeply and said, "Almost everyone only sees the superficial benefits that money brings to them, but they don't realize that they are actually not familiar with Lop Nur. Most of the people in the village have indeed been to Lop Nur, but only at the edge of it. Think about what kind of place Lop Nur is, known as the 'Sea of Death'! How many people have lost their lives in there throughout the ages, and without advanced navigation equipment, they would not have been able to get out at all! And many people believe that those of us who live on the edge of Lop Nur are willing to spend a lot of money to hire us, and if we don't agree, they will raise the price 10 times, 20 times higher, and many people can't hold on to such a price, so they go in with a group of people in a daze, and never come out again. ”

"No wonder the women wanted to chase us away, we really planned to pay a guide to take us in." Xiao said with a big lip.

Abumat waved his hand helplessly and said, "It's useless, no matter how much money you pay, no one will take you in." I will not stop you, young men, if you want to die, but I beg you not to let the people of our village get in again. ”

"Even if we had advanced navigation equipment, wouldn't anyone want to?" Sun Yan asked.

"No, no one!" Abmat waved his hand categorically, "Our village has now become a widow's village, can you really bear to let the few men left in the village take you in?" ”

Abmat's words made Sun Yan eat a sullen turtle. He scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "But we don't plan to leave like this."

"I kindly advise you, it's better to go back as soon as possible, don't take risks. Lop Nur is no more now than it was then, and wolves have appeared in that desert as more and more people have gone in to disturb that sacred land. ”

"Wolves!" The four of them shouted out almost in unison.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao laughed dryly: "Uncle, even if you don't want us to take risks, don't make up such a ridiculous reason, you think we are all three-year-old children?" ”

"It's just that I've never heard of wolves in Lop Nur when I'm so old." Sun Yan smiled helplessly.

"Believe it or not, I'll persuade you with good words, and I'll get to the point." Abmat stood up, looked at Xiao Wang and said, "When this young man recovers a little, you can leave quickly, we villagers don't want you to stay here longer." ”

Abmat turned around and walked out.

The four of them were stunned in place, Xiao pointed to his head and said, "Is this a bit of a problem with the old guy?" ”

"When you get older, you will inevitably have Alzheimer's disease." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

Sun Yan sighed, turned his head and asked Qi Dongrui, "What about Xue Jiao and them now?" ”

"I didn't move, and now I am in the small village of "Dolan", which is 150 kilometers away from "Getaya". Qi Dongrui replied.

"It's really not going to work, so let's follow it up like this, and we'll set off when they leave." Sun Yan said.

The four spent the afternoon at the clinic. It wasn't until it was dark that the female doctor drove out Xiao Wang and Sun Yan, who were still hospitalized, under the pretext of closing the door of the health center.

Helplessly, staying in a small, extremely xenophobic village became a problem, and there was no expectation that any family or hotel would stay with them. The four of them could only return to the Wrangler, drove the car out of the village, and stopped at the entrance of the village.

After sleeping in the car for nearly half an hour, he heard someone knocking on the window, Qi Dongrui sat up in a daze, and saw Abmat standing outside the car with an anxious face.

"What's the matter?" Qi Dongrui muttered.

Abmat looked around nervously, waving at him and beckoning them to get out of the car.

Qi Dongrui woke up the three of them, Xiao hummed impatiently in his big lips, and when he opened his eyes and saw Abmat's head lying on the car window, his brows suddenly wrinkled: "I said, uncle, what's wrong?" Don't let you stay at the entrance of the village? ”

Abmat shook his head anxiously and said, "No, you quickly take your luggage and get out of the car, and I will take you into the village and live in my house." It's too dangerous outside the village this night, you can't stay there! ”

Xiao Da Yan was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Huh? This is a good feeling! ”

The four of them woke up from a half-sleep, immediately carried their luggage and got out of the car, Abmat looked at them, then looked into the car and said, "Don't you have guns?" Grab your gun! ”

Seeing Abmat's nervous look, Sun Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, don't you tell me that the women in the village still want to besiege us at night?" ”

"That's it!" Xiao Dayian took the gun handed over by Qi Dongrui with one hand and said, "What? Could it be that they have become yakshas? Even you, the old village chief, can't hold it back? ”

"It's not that they've become Yakshas, it's that we already have Yaksha here." Abmat breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all four of them had their guns in hand, and turned around and led them towards the village.

The village of Getaya is extremely beautiful at night, with a whole circle of wooden stakes planted around the periphery of the village, and braziers are erected on the stakes and bonfires are lit. Even the village is brightly lit, and as far as the eye can see, the whole village seems to shine in the light of the fire.

The four of them were fascinated by such a sight, and they did not blink for half a day.

Xiao said with big lips: "I didn't expect your village to be really emotional." ”

Abmat did not reply, but quickened the pace of his feet and hurried them towards the village.

Just as they had just entered the village, there was a sudden "bang" of gunfire from the west, which startled all four of them, and they hurriedly picked up the gun hanging around their necks.
