The next day, the scorching sun sprayed the earth like a flame without shelter, and the inside of the car was baked like a steamer, and the heat was overwhelming.

The two of them were warmed up by the heat, and quickly took off the blankets on their bodies. After getting out of the car, Sun Yan was surprised that the camel was still staying there with a leisurely appearance, but when he saw the two of them coming down, he still neighed at Suzuki twice.

Sun Yan looked up at the roof of the car and found that the sand hermitage was long gone, but there were still traces of it climbing on the car, and there was some dry black water on the window edge.

After eating some breakfast, Sun Yan suddenly remembered the clay pots that he dug out of the sand yesterday, and talked to Xiao Wang, this guy was very interested, so he decided to take a look.

When he came to the place yesterday, Sun Yan saw the clay pot upside down in the sand, a pile of black things lying in the sand under the mouth of the jar, all the liquid had evaporated, but a bad smell could be smelled from afar.

Because Sun Yan left in a hurry yesterday, he didn't even confiscate the folding shovel and threw it there directly. He and Xiao Wang leaned over and pulled the pile with a shovel, and found that it was soft, like a pile of meat sacs, and the surface was slippery and sticky with a layer of sand.

"What is it?" Xiao Wang asked.

"I don't know, I'll have to take it out." Sun Yan smashed his mouth as he spoke, "But it looks disgusting, it can't be cured meat, right?" ”

"Fuck! Then our food will be found. After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he took out a plastic bag from his bag and put it on his hand, then put his hand into the sand pit, and grinned and lifted the lump of things.

"It looks like it's really marinated meat!" The corners of Xiao Wang's mouth twitched.

Sun Yan frowned, and also took out a plastic bag and put it on his hand, cleaning up the sand on the surface of this thing, and when it was basically revealed, a stream of acid water suddenly gushed in Sun Yan's throat, and he screamed disgusting, and suddenly jumped up from the ground.

Xiao Wang was still stunned, and when he saw Sun Yan jumping up, he grabbed the thing suspiciously and took a look, and suddenly his back was cold, and he scolded and threw the thing out.

The black thing smashed right on Sun Yan's shoulder, and after landing on the ground, it rolled twice and rolled into the sand pit.

Sun Yan's hairs stood on end, he scolded angrily, and shivered a few times all over his body.

Xiao Wang hurriedly made amends, and finally let Sun Yan calm down, he asked, "Do you see clearly?" ”

Sun Yan nodded, and his body trembled again. He never thought that the lump turned out to be a corpse piece, and if he was not mistaken, it was still the corpse of Sha'an, although the body size was only the size of a green-skinned melon, but the hideous appearance immediately made Sun Yan recognize it, and just now at that glance, he caught a glimpse of five corpses entangled in the front, not to mention how disgusting it was.

I didn't expect the jar to be able to contain this kind of thing, and the two of them lost interest in the other jars all of a sudden. He hurriedly filled the sand pit with some sand and buried the jar with the corpse.

After that, Sun Yan took a shovel and probed the ground, and found that the sand under his feet was full of this kind of clay pots, and there were definitely more than thirty of them.

The two of them stood in place for a while, and they really couldn't figure out who had buried so many jars in such an inaccessible place, and they couldn't understand what the purpose of these jars was buried here. If you can understand the Lu script on the can, you may still be able to understand it, but this is a long-lost text, and no one can decipher it now!

When they returned to the camp, as soon as they crossed the sand mountain, Sun Yan and Xiao Wang saw a person squatting beside a camel in the valley.

The two of them were startled, and thought they were dazzled, but when they looked at it, it was indeed a person, and from the back, it was a woman, wearing a fiery red wide-sleeved robe, with long black braided hair, squatting there as if whispering to a camel.

It took a full minute for the woman to stand up, pick up the camel and prepare to leave, Sun Yan and Xiao Wang came back to their senses at this time, and shouted on the sand mountain: "Wait! ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, slowly turned around, and saw Sun Yan and Xiao Wang can't wait to roll down from the sand mountain.

Before the atmosphere could catch a breath, Xiao Wang hurriedly asked, "Who are you?!" After asking this sentence, she was afraid that she would not understand, so she quickly repeated it again in Uyghur.

The woman looked at Xiao Wang lightly, half loudly, and then said coldly: "This is my camel." ”

As soon as the words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same time, never expecting that this woman could speak Chinese, and it was standard Mandarin.

When the woman said this, she turned around and touched the camel's chin again, smiled and continued, "Its name is Manti. ”

The woman turned her face slightly, and the golden sunlight hit her face, making her smile just now so beautiful, and the look in her eyes was like this ancient Western Regions, mysterious and unpredictable.

Sun Yan and Xiao Wang glanced at each other, neither of them expected to meet someone in the depths of this desert, and judging from the woman's outfit, it seemed to be a local resident.

After being stunned for a while, Sun Yan opened his mouth and asked, "Is this really your camel?" ”

The woman nodded and said, "Yes, it went missing due to a sandstorm two days ago. Because it was a small one, I couldn't find my way back to the village on my own, so I came out to look for it. ”

The two were startled, and Xiao Wang hurriedly asked her, "Your village is in this desert?" ”

"Yes." The woman said lightly, then raised her hand and pointed ahead, "It's over there." ”

Sun Yan and Xiao Wang followed the direction of her finger and looked into the distance, and saw that there was still an endless undulating sea of sand in front of them, full of monotonous colors, and there was nothing substantial in sight.

"I'm leaving." As she spoke, the woman picked up the camel and walked forward.

"Hey, wait, wait!" Sun Yan hurriedly grabbed her, and the woman turned around and frowned slightly.

"What else?" Her tone sounded visibly panicked.

"Don't be afraid, we're not bad people, we just want to ask you about something." Sun Yan let go and grabbed her sleeve, and seeing that the woman didn't plan to continue walking, he continued, "Actually, the two of us are members of the archaeological team, and we were in an ancient ruins before, but we encountered some trouble halfway, which caused us and our companions to get lost, and now we don't know where we are, and we can't find our way out, can you help us?" ”

Xiao Wang nodded, and echoed: "We really want to join our companions now. ”

The woman thought for a while, turned around and looked at the two of them carefully, and asked with a cold attitude, "Then how do you want me to help?" ”

"Can you take us out of here and find the ancient ruins from before?"

"But there are no ancient ruins around here, only a small river cemetery. I'm not going too far from the village, so I'm sorry, I can't help you. The woman replied.

Creek Cemetery? Sun Yan was stunned for a moment, and a cold sweat immediately came down, and he hurriedly asked, "Then it's near the Peacock River now, right?" ”

"This is the lower reaches of the Peacock River, and the nearest group of ancient ruins you are talking about should be 50 kilometers away."

Sun Yan was stunned when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang's face immediately sank.
