Soon after, the train began to move slowly, the train at the end of the fifties, the speed was not very fast, but it was the most important long-distance transportation at that time, from Shanghai to Urumqi to take more than ten days, all the eating, drinking and Lazar had to be solved on the car, this is nothing, Jin Muxuan was most distressed that during this time, he was afraid that he could not even take a bath.

All the way to the west, after passing through the six provinces, it has been the seventh day, at this time has arrived in the Ningxia Autonomous Region, all the way to the place, Jin Muxuan and Yang Dali saw a lot of ethnic customs, the vast China, the rich impression of humanities, deeply imprinted in the minds of the two.

But on the night of the seventh day, the speed of the train gradually slowed down, and a notice came from the radio: "Dear passengers, because of the war with India in the Urumqi area, this shuttle will return to Shanghai after arriving in Dunhuang City, please prepare in advance." ”

In recent years, there has been constant friction between China and India on the Xinjiang border, and the people of the whole country know that the Indian A-3 has arbitrarily drawn the so-called "McMahon Line" and carried out aggressive and expansionist activities against China's western Tibet and Xinjiang.

Xu Xiao is also a little anxious, she has a very important task this time, she has to go to Ruoqiang County to check the materials explained by the boss.

Yang Dali said with a bitter face: "Boss, what should I do, Dunhuang City is far away from Urumqi." ”

Jin Muxuan immediately opened the map and looked at it, and found that it was really very far from Dunhuang City to Urumqi, but when he turned his eyes to the lower right direction, his eyes lit up.

Because, on the map, Jin Muxuan can see that Ruoqiang County, where he is going, is not far from Dunhuang.

Ruoqiang County's location in the southwest corner of Dunhuang is farther than that of going to Urumqi first and then going south to Ruoqiang County, and the distance between the two places is farther than Dunhuang City directly to Ruoqiang County.

Jin Muxuan pointed to the map and smiled at Yang Dali: "Dali, look here, let's get off in Dunhuang." ”

Xu Xiao saw the place Jin Muxuan was pointing to, his eyes showed a surprised look, looked at Jin Muxuan and said, "Mu Xuan, you are also going to Ruoqiang County?" ”

"yes, what's the matter, you're not going there too, are you?" When Jin Muxuan heard Xu Xiao's tone, he smiled, and Xu Xiao nodded slightly.

Jin Muxuan still had a very good impression of Xu Xiao, and immediately invited him.

"What a coincidence, then Sister Xu, let's go together, your mother and daughter are out of the house, and this area is not peaceful, with the two of us by your side, everyone can take care of it."

Xu Xiao paused slightly when she heard this, looked at Jin Muxuan and Yang Dali, and saw that Jin Muxuan had a sincere face, after getting along this week, she also knew something about Jin Muxuan, and knew that the two of them were not bad people.

"Well, I'm really bothering you." At that moment, Xu Xiao nodded to the two, she also knew the current tense situation, if she really let herself take Li Xiaomeng alone, there might be some chaos.

Jin Muxuan smiled: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, I also like Xiaomeng's." ”

Li Xiaomeng nodded violently with a smile when she heard this, and shook Xu Xiao's slender hand: "Ma Ma, godfather is good to Xiaomeng, and he bought candy for me yesterday."

Xu Xiao smiled at Jin Muxuan when she heard this, stretched out her hand and hooked Li Xiaomeng's nose, and said with a smile: "You little gluttonous cat." ”

Li Xiaomeng cheered happily: "Oh oh sugar candy, it's delicious" such a warm scene.

A few people talk and laugh between the time flies, the sky is gradually darkening, it is almost eight o'clock in the night, the time zone here is a little long, but let everyone feel a little uncomfortable, and when the train stops again, several people have stood at the entrance of Dunhuang Railway Station.

I saw that there were a lot of people pulling carts at the entrance of the station, but it was not what Jin Muxuan was looking for, so it was impossible to find a rickshaw and carry a few of his people to Ruoqiang County, thousands of miles away.

Seeing the platform not far from the right, there were a few trucks parked, so Jin Muxuan and Yang Dali dragged the suitcase together, greeted Xu Xiao's mother and daughter, and walked to a truck together.

Fortunately, these trucks are really for long-distance business, and at that moment, Jin Muxuan negotiated the price with the driver, and the four of them got into the car together and drove towards Ruoqiang County.

It's just that the driver told Jin Muxuan that the road to Ruoqiang County is far away, and there are certain dangers, and now it is a period of war, so the road fare is very expensive, a full 800 oceans, which is much more expensive than a train ticket.

Seeing this, Xu Xiao hesitated slightly, and then told Jin Muxuan that he wanted to share the fare, but was politely rejected by Jin Muxuan.

Jin Muxuan has observed Xu Xiao and can see that her economy is not very good, she is tolerant anyway, and Jin Muxuan is not bad for this money.

Xu Xiao looked at Jin Muxuan and thanked him again: "Mu Xuan, I really don't know how to thank you, and I didn't know that this would happen." Jin Muxuan smiled faintly, and saw that the suitcase was dragged onto the tow box of the rear car, so he hugged Li Xiaomeng to the passenger cab.

This is an old-fashioned truck, which can seat just five people, Li Xiaomeng may be sleepy, after the car started, he was drooling, and fell asleep in Jin Muxuan's arms, Jin Muxuan couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and suddenly, he found that he liked children very much.

Xu Xiao may have seen something, looking at Jin Muxuan in front of him, he sighed slightly in his heart, if his husband was by his side, how beautiful it would be at this moment.

The road was nearly a day's journey, and after Jin Muxuan let Xiaomeng Xu Xiao pick him up, he talked softly with the driver's master, only to know that the driver was an authentic Dunhuang man, thirty-eight years old, called Ma Niuzi.

Ma Niuzi smiled innocently: "I said guy, you came all the way from Shanghai to come here, just to Ruoqiang County, where birds don't, what is there to go?" ”

"Brother Niu, I was just entrusted by someone to pick up something."

Ma Niuzi nodded when he heard this: "It turns out that this is the case, but, young man, you go to Na Ruoqiang, you have to pay attention, it is said that there is a ghost drop heaven." ”

Jin Muxuan couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, he was very interested in this kind of strange things. "A paradise for ghosts? What is this? ”

In the following time, Ma Niuzi happily told the story, and until he finished speaking, Jin Muxuan's face was already very shocked.

It's not because of how thrilling and exciting the story Ma Niuzi said, but from Ma Niuzi's story, Jin Muxuan heard about the dangerous places such as the river, the ten thousand burial hills, the canyon, and the cemetery, and the order of the dangerous places in the legend is still the same as that shown in the "Imperial History Tomb".

Legend has it that some people did not listen to the advice of the dangerous places, and after experiencing those dangerous places, they finally entered the cemetery, which angered the countless ghosts in the cemetery, and killed all those trespassers, so that those who went to the cemetery were all in and out, but became a wisp of ghosts in the cemetery, and the ghosts became more and more, and it became the paradise of the ghosts in the legend.

Could it be that in this world, there is really a paradise with ghosts???

And the cemetery, Niu Mazi called it: the tomb of death, because very few people have entered that place, and it is rumored that no one has entered, as for the location of the cemetery, only know that it is around the canyon, but it is difficult for anyone to find it.

At this time, Xu Xiao behind him opened his mouth and smiled: "It's just a legend, according to what Brother Niu said, if I didn't guess wrong, this small river should refer to Lop Nur, and the canyon may also be the Lop Nur Grand Canyon, as for the ten thousand burial posts and cemeteries, I haven't heard of it." ”

When Jin Muxuan heard this, he looked at Xu Xiao in surprise: "Sister Xu, how do you know this?" ”

"Alas, actually, it's not that I know, I also heard from my husband, he is an archaeologist, it's just" Speaking of this, Xu Xiao's eyes dimmed suddenly.

Jin Muxuan suddenly realized, no wonder Xu Xiao knew so much, it turned out that Sister Xu's lover was an archaeologist, no wonder, just seeing her mention her husband, Jin Muxuan's heart couldn't help but twitch.

It seems that Sister Xu's lover must have something wrong, but seeing that Xu Xiao didn't mention it, Jin Muxuan didn't want to ask again.

Ma Niuzi also glanced at Xu Xiao with some surprise, but smiled and told Jin Muxuan that what Xu Xiao said was also what Niu Mazi thought in reality, those gods and ghosts were just a talking point, after all, this is just a legend.

Bumps all the way, Niu Mazi deserves to be a dedicated driver, at least this night he did not stop to rest, in the barren desert all the way down to the southwest, if you stop to rest at night, it will be troublesome to meet wolves.

It was only after dawn that the car drove into a small town, and Niu Mazi told a few people that after resting for a long time, Jin Muxuan and the others were not sleepy, although the road was bumpy, a few people still should eat, and they should sleep when they should sleep.

Therefore, as soon as she arrived in the town, Xiaomeng regained her vitality, pulled Jin Muxuan and shouted, let herself take her shopping, naturally, for this little princess's request, Jin Muxuan readily agreed, but Xu Xiao was a little embarrassed, so he stayed with Yang Dali in the resting place.

The market was bustling, the vendors were shouting the treasures on their stalls, and Jin Muxuan took Li Xiaomeng and bought a few gadgets for Nizi, which made her very happy.

Then, Jin Muxuan noticed the things on a stall and took a detour to that stall.

Jin Muxuan learned that this town is an antique distribution center, and many unearthed gadgets, as long as they are meaningful, will appear here.

He also saw that there were many outsiders who came here to dig for things, and I heard that some people, when digging treasures, spent a few oceans to earn tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, which is quite a sense of luck.

And at this moment, on the small stall where he was standing, there was something that caught his eye, squatted down, picked up a piece of wood, yes, it was an ordinary piece of wood, but this wood was engraved with unknown words.

Jin Muxuan looked at the old man with a pipe and said to him, "Shopkeeper, where is this thing of yours?" ”

The old man glanced at Jin Muxuan and said lightly: "Six hundred miles, southwest things." Guy drops, just enough. ”

Jin Muxuan nodded, he asked about the direction of the excavation, and did not directly ask about the origin of this cultural relic, which is a potential trading rule, regardless of the source.

This bazaar knows at a glance that it is not formal, if you are taboo and ask the source of the cultural relics, it is a violation of the rules, and after asking the price at the moment, Jin Muxuan spent fifty oceans to buy this wood.
