When Batur saw it, his brows furrowed together, and he asked Xiao with a big lip: "When did it start to hurt?" ”

"Ah, it started to hurt in the morning, so I said that I had a stiff neck, I don't know how to get such a big bump? And with a hole? ”

Xiao said with his big lips and picked out his nails again, and the little eyes were a little blurred by him. The guy gritted his teeth and tried to poke his whole finger in, and cursed angrily, "Fuck! The more you pick, the more itchy it gets! ”

Seeing this, Batur quickly stopped him and said, "Don't move! I'll help you figure it out! ”

After he finished speaking, he pulled out the knife hanging on the waistband of his trousers, and said to Xiao's big lips: "It hurts a little, you bear with it!" ”

Xiao Da Yan was in a hurry, and he didn't know what Batur was going to do, so he covered his neck and stepped back: "Lao Ba, what do you have to do?" Are you going to cut off these two lumps of my flesh?! ”

"It's better to cut it than if you mess around here, that's how much it's neat!" Batur said and glanced at Xiao Wang and Qi Dongrui, and asked them to press Xiao's big lips. Xiao Da Yan was even more panicked when he saw it, and he was about to rush to the side, Qi Dongrui grabbed him, and Xiao Wang quickly pressed his two hands.

Xiao had big lips and wanted to cry without tears, and shouted: "Lao Ba, you can't be so ruthless!" How can you say that this meat is also grown on my body, you can't say that you can cut it! ”

Batur smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously! I'm kidding you, I'm just ripping out what's inside! ”

As he spoke, he took out a lighter, burned the tip of the knife red, and said, "This Lop Nur has a kind of tick, which often lives in red willow and poplar wood, and when it bites, it will burrow into the skin and suck blood. Unlike grass ticks elsewhere, this insect is so vicious that two can suck a lamb to death. I guess it got into your neck last night, and it would take three or four hours to suck that big. However, although the bloodsucking is strong, this kind of tick is not poisonous, and then go deeper into Lop Nur, there is a kind of "Tarim tick" parasitic in the live poplar, this "tick" carries a virus, once a person is bitten, it often causes a fatal disease (Tarim hemorrhagic fever), and dies within ten hours. ”

When Xiao Da Yan heard this, his face turned white with fright, and he hurriedly said, "Lao Ba, then, then you can get it out for me!" ”

Where to use him to say, Batur has already started, his movements are both sharp and ruthless, I saw the tip of the knife drill into the small hole, and with a snort, a bug almost the size of a pebble was pulled out of a pimple, Xiao Big Lips screamed, and the beads of sweat on his face instantly jumped out.

The three of them were dumbfounded when they saw it, damn! Where is this still a worm, it is simply a transparent big blood bag, the skin is translucent and the stomach is still oily. was pulled out by Batur with a knife, and the worm even pulled out a bloody streak from Xiao's big lip's neck, which was thick and long, and it took ten centimeters to tear it off.

Batur threw the worm on the ground, and the worm protruded a small head with a small sesame seed from under its belly, dragging its swollen, almost transparent belly forward little by little. As soon as Batur roasted it with a lighter, it immediately hooked up and lay on its back on the ground. Only then did the three of them see that there were several circles of skin under the belly of the worm that were condensed together, no wonder Batur said that two could kill a sheep, and when the worm was completely full of blood, it might be how big it was!

Xiao's big lips cried out in pain, and asked Batur not to hurry up and get the other one out. In this way, Batur made the remaining one, the second one smaller than the first, but also with a round belly.

Xiao had two big cuts on his big lips and neck, the flesh inside was white, and there was no blood, he was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he grabbed the knife that snatched Batur and said: "This thing is used to living in the desert and high temperatures, and it will definitely not burn it!" ”

As he spoke, he took a knife and stabbed one of the bugs, only to hear a thud, and as soon as his stomach broke, a bag of black blood immediately splashed out, and the bugs immediately kicked their legs.

The remaining Qi Dongrui proposed not to kill him immediately, but to play tricks for a while, so he also took out a knife and squatted on the sand with Xiao Da Lip to play.

Sun Yan and Batur picked up some hollow poplar wood from the car, and when they looked inside, they found that it was densely packed with ticks, which would definitely kill a flock!

It took more than half an hour to pick the poplar wood, and the car started to hit the road. All the way to the west, along the Peacock River, at noon the five people in the car casually ate something, did not stop for a long time, and set off again.

After entering Lop Nur, Qi Dongrui rarely mentioned the whereabouts of Xue Jiao and their team, and every time Sun Yan asked, he only knew one sentence and knew it. Although it was not clear how he knew the whereabouts of Xue Jiao and them (it was estimated that someone had lost the tracker in their car), seeing that he answered with a relaxed face, Sun Yan did not ask.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was still bright, the car looked for a suitable place to camp at night on the desert, came to a soft sandy area, and found an ancient ruins in front of it. Batur suggested finding a sheltered place in the ruins to set up camp, but to park the car at the edge of the sand so that it would not get stuck in the bunker.

The five got out of the car, grabbed their guns and equipment, and walked to the ruins on foot. The sand is too soft, almost pervasive, every time you step on it, it will sink very deep, Sun Yan's tall desert boots have not reached the ankles, and the temperature of the sand surface in summer is as high as 70 degrees, fortunately, these boots can be insulated, otherwise if you step into it, this foot will be steamed.

Xiao Da Lip and Ba Tur took the lead, the two of them walked very quickly, and after a while, they came to the side of the ruins, Xiao Big Lip shouted to the three people who were left behind, let's go and take a look in first! Then it was gone in a blink of an eye.

The three people behind were in a hurry, and ran forward in three steps and two steps. When they arrived at the ruins, they found that Xiao Dalip and Batur had disappeared.

The ruins are not too big, similar to a circular castle, there is a circular remnant wall outside the ruins, can have a thickness of 5 meters, nearly 6 meters high, the wall is built with rammed earth and red willow, poplar branches, and there are many poplar reinforcement sticks arranged in an orderly manner on the top of the wall.

The gates had collapsed like a pile of loose logs, almost buried by sand. There are many gaps in the wall, which should have been destroyed by floods in ancient times, and some places have been dilapidated after years of wind and sand.
