Chapter Ninety-Two: Sand Camels
In this dark underground, I had no sense of time at all, but the watch on my wrist told me that it was almost night, and I was tired from tossing and turning with the fat man for most of the day, and then we rested separately.
I don't know how long I slept, I was woken up by the knock on the door, the door of our room was made of poplar planks, the knocking sound was very loud, I rubbed my eyes, and quickly got up and opened the door, it turned out that Shu Muhua was knocking on the door outside.
"Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?" I said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Hurry up and pack up and leave, before dawn, let's set off early, and wait until noon, we can't bear the climate in this desert." Shu Muhua said a little anxiously.
I thought to myself that what people said made sense, we didn't feel anything when we had off-road vehicles, and now there is no means of transportation, so it's a crime, or the sooner you set off, the better, I looked back at the fat man, this guy is still sleeping very well in bed, I am really convinced, Shu Muhua knocked on the door so loudly, he didn't wake him up, I shouted angrily, "Fatty, hurry up!" It's an earthquake! β
The fat man sat up, looked at me and then at Shu Muhua, "What are you kidding, it's sleepy here." After that, he had to sleep with his head upside down.
I stepped forward and pulled him up, "Hurry up, if you don't set off again, it'll be noon, and you can't go out to get sunburned." β
The fat man got up, and we followed Shu Muhua out of the room and walked along the corridor, and when we came out of the corridor, we came to a large open space, where two people were already waiting for us, one of whom we had met, he was the son of the patriarch, Ilhan, and the other could be his guard, and the guard returned me and the fat man's saber.
At this time, I suddenly heard a snoring sound similar to that of a donkey, I followed the sound, and the thing in front of me stunned me, this turned out to be three very large animals similar to camels, say it is a camel, but it is almost twice as big as an ordinary camel, but the legs are shorter than ordinary camels, I was a little surprised and asked, "What kind of animal is this?" β
Schopenhauer laughed and said, "We call it the sand camel." β
"Sand camels? As far as I know, there is no such species in the world, where did you find it? β
"Hey, after the catastrophe of that year, some people returned to the ground, found a few surviving camels, and took them underground, not long after, those camels died one after another, but there were also a few small camels, I don't know why, these born baby camels have become what they are now, they are larger than ordinary camels, and can walk through the sand, this is the treasure of our town."
I heard Shu Muhua say this, and thought to myself that these camels must have been mutated by nuclear radiation, which became what they are now, but I don't understand even more, if it is really nuclear radiation, where did the nuclear radiation come from more than a thousand years ago? It seems that there are a lot of secrets that we need to solve when we get to Dragon City.
"So let's go now?" I looked at Shu Muhua and said.
Shu Muhua nodded, then muttered a few words to the other two people in their ethnic language, and then said to me, "You and I ride a sand camel, and this brother rides one with our samurai, let's set off now." β
The fat man and I nodded, and then we both followed them to the side of the sand camel, and when the sand camel saw the living man, he stood up violently and roared, and the fat man and I were startled, and they quickly communicated with the sand camel in the ethnic language.
"This sand camel has a fierce temperament, different from ordinary camels, you have to sit still for a while." Shu Muhua looked at me and said to the fat man.
"Don't worry, my fat man has ridden any fierce horse in Inner Mongolia, and this sand camel is nothing." The fat man said with a big grin.
I pouted, "I think you'd better be careful." β
This sand camel has two humps, but its back is very wide, and it is equipped with a saddle, just enough to sit two people, I and Shu Muhua got on the sand camel, and then tied the body with a rope, just like that, Shu Muhua pulled the reins, shouted, and the sand camel ran quickly.
The sand camel first rushed into a wide road, and then ran diagonally up along the road, and turned a few corners in the middle, the whole process was like riding a roller coaster, the speed of the sand camel was very fast, very exciting, and I don't know how long it took to run, because it was very dark around, and suddenly Shu Muhua turned around and shouted: "Attention, hold your breath." β
I didn't have time to ask why, I felt the sand camel swish into the sand, I buried my head behind Shu Muhua, the surrounding sand scraped the ears hurt, and after a while, I felt the surrounding light, the sand camel has drilled out of the ground, although the morning sun is not strong, but because of staying underground for a long time, suddenly it comes out, the sun is still piercing eyes and pain, I adapted to it for a while before I eased up.
The fat man cursed and spat out the sand in his mouth, he didn't understand the language of the samurai, and he was not prepared, and the sand camel suddenly burrowed into the sand, which poured the fat man with a mouthful of sand.
"Fat brother, are you full now? Haha!" I looked at the fat man and laughed.
"you, that's unlucky." The fat man said as he spat out the sand.
I looked at my surroundings, the desolate Gobi, and I didn't know where it was, "How far is this from where we found it?" I looked at Shu Muhua and asked.
"This location is to the southwest of where you were found, about a few dozen kilometers away." Shu Muhua said.
I lowered my head and thought about it, we were looking for Dragon City in the northeast direction, and then encountered a sandstorm, but we didn't lose our way, if what Shu Muhua said was right, then we should not be far from Xie Xinyi's camp, I just don't know if they are in front of us or behind, but if we want to go to Lop Nur Village, we have to go due west, so I asked Shu Muhua to take the fat man and the two of us to continue to walk due west.
The walking speed of the sand camel is very fast, I estimate that it can reach forty or fifty kilometers per hour, we have been walking like this for about an hour, I suddenly saw a black spot in front of me, so I hurriedly urged Shu Muhua to walk in that direction, but when we walked in, we found that we had reached the Sun Tomb.
The Sun Tomb is located on the north bank of the ancient channel of the Peacock River. It was discovered by archaeologists in the winter of 1979, there are dozens of ancient tombs, each of which is a tomb of the deceased surrounded by a round wooden stake in the middle, and the outside is surrounded by a wooden stake more than a foot high in 7 circles, and composed of a number of rays, in the form of solar radiation, by carbon 14 determination, the sun tomb has been 3800 years old, the sun tomb has been a mystery, why did people build such strange tombs thousands of years ago?
Because we know about the Sun Tomb from the history of Xinjiang, we really came here, although some were shocked by its magnificence, but we didn't show too much surprise, and the fat man also pouted and said: "This broken place, the second master, we have investigated it in the future, and there are no good things." β
I said in my heart that this fat man is quite good at putting on a faΓ§ade for himself, what kind of investigation, obviously he is here to rob the tomb, I smiled and said: "The baby didn't dig up, did you dig up a beautiful ancient corpse and go back?" β
"you! We are archaeology, do you understand? Don't say it so ugly. The fat man said with an unhappy face.
At this time, I suddenly saw Shu Muhua's face was ugly, could it be that he knew something about this Sun Tomb? So he asked, "How?" Uncle, you also have research on this sun tomb? β
"You call this the Tomb of the Sun? Shu Muhua smiled bitterly, and then continued: "This is the famous forbidden area for the undead in Loulan Country. β
After listening to this, I was surprised and asked, "The Undead Forbidden Zone?" How? β
"These wooden stakes, not at all the people of Loulan country into it, and they existed a long time ago, when they were first discovered by the Loulan people, they tried to dig it, it is said that a very terrible thing happened, and then it was listed as a forbidden area, and their prisoners of war will be sent here to worship, and the dead dignitaries will be buried here, and accept the transcendence of the gods." Shu Muhua slowly recounted the legend of the Sun Tomb.
"Is it so evil? I dug around and didn't find anything special, did I? The fat man said with a big grin.
"Maybe Loulan, like us, perished in that disaster, so the particularity of this place has also disappeared." Shu Muhua said.
"There is a possibility of what you said, so we first have to find Dragon City now, and then investigate what happened in the first place." I said with a frown.
As soon as I finished speaking, Ilhan, who had come with us, pointed to the side and shouted something, and we hurriedly looked in the direction he was pointing, and what was in front of me suddenly made me and the fat man excited.
