Chapter 10: The Desert Sunset

After hearing this, Qin Zhen nodded silently and did not refute again. If you think about it carefully, they are all elites in various fields, how could they risk death to enter the desert with a mythical story. Perhaps, they really have their real basis and reason.

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen at this time and said, "Is Journey to the West a myth?" Calculate. However, many, many countries in Journey to the West are real. For example, the country of the car master, the country of the daughter, and so on. Moreover, these countries are also in the Western Regions. When you erase the deified color of myths and stories, you will discover the terrible truth of history. ”

When Gu Jie heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. But with his IQ, I don't know if the excitement is because of Journey to the West? Or did the daughter country see him next to Yudong and ask seriously, "What you said is true?" Are those places in Journey to the West really there? Is there a bottomless pit in the Hanging Mountain? ”

Yu Dong frowned helplessly, but Gu Jie didn't take it to heart. Instead, he turned around and raised his legs, stepped on the car with one foot, held a water cup high in one hand, and shouted at Yudong, "Hey! Do you dare to say yes if I call you by name? Everyone was stunned by his actions. Is this product imitating the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn in Journey to the West?

Everyone was stunned for two seconds, and the next second they all started laughing. Even Yu Dong shook his head helplessly. Qin Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked over and scolded Gu Jie, "Don't show your eyes soon!" Even if you are given a gourd, do you know his name? ”

At this sentence, Gu Jie was stunned, looked at Yu Dong with a very strange gaze, and then jumped out of the car. I have to admit that this mysterious identity of Yudong is indeed a knot in Qin Zhen and Gu Jie's hearts that cannot be solved. Seeing Qin Zhen and Gu Jie's somewhat gloomy expressions, the feelings of the others also stiffened slightly.

Only Yu Dong just glanced at Qin Zhen lightly and didn't answer this question. Instead, he took the strange map in Ma Chao's hand, and said casually, "In 1914, Stein went from Loulan to Dunhuang, taking an unknown path north of Lop Nur that he had not walked. It is said that at that time, Stein found a lot of unused copper coins on this road. It can be seen that Stein took the middle route of the Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty. We are now travelling in the opposite direction, taking this middle road to Lop Nur and Loulan. ”

But as long as he says it, it seems that no one will have any rebuttals. Qin Zhen felt more and more that he really despised this Yudong. He is not what Qin Zhen thinks, he is an ignorant and squeamish young master of an official family. On the contrary, in every aspect, Yudong is much better than Qin Zhen thought.

At this time, Chen Feng on the side took the map and said, "At the beginning, they had taken too many treasures from the desert of Lop Nur. There are a lot of information that are unique. We now have to start with the Jade Gate Pass and find those clues that are really valuable. Near the ruins of Yumen Pass now, I don't think I can find any clues. ”

Yu Dong nodded after hearing this, and then asked Chen Feng, "Tell me what you think." ”

Chen Feng pointed to the map that ordinary people couldn't understand and said, "Take the ruins of Yumen Pass as the starting point and go straight into the desert. I believe that the distance between the real Yumen Pass and Xiaofangpan City will not be too far. ”

Yu Dong frowned slightly after hearing this, but didn't say anything. Qin Zhen answered at this time, "Is it okay to take risks without a definite direction?" If you want me to say, just take the middle way of the Silk Road! I feel that if there is really that legendary Yumen Pass, it must be on that road! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Qin Zhen with some surprise. His method doesn't seem to be much more reliable than Chen Feng's. If you don't find the Yumen Pass, there is no point in walking on the middle road of the Silk Road. If you can't find it and turn back at that time, it will definitely be a very expensive mistake. If you choose between Chen Feng's scientific proportions and Qin Zhen's feelings, then everyone will undoubtedly believe in science more.

Unexpectedly, Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen with a smile, and then said, "Feeling? You're really interesting. Whatever your thoughts and decisions are, it depends on your feelings. Okay, just try your feelings. As he spoke, he got into the car, as if he had decided to follow the route Qin Zhen said.

Qin Zhen himself was a little surprised how Yu Dong could give face like this, and directly understood his thoughts. Everyone saw that Yudong did not object, so they all got into the car one after another. In fact, this is nothing, and the worst result is nothing more than a trip in vain. It's better than being trapped in the desert.

As soon as the car started again, Lan Qing looked out the window and said as if talking to herself, "Actually, in terms of our current situation, maybe feeling is the only way out." Qin Zhen looked at Lan Qing in some surprise after hearing this, what she said was not at all like her vibrant, optimistic and cheerful personality. Qin Zhen wanted to say a few words, but when he saw her bow her head and smiled lightly, "Brother Qin wants to ask me why I said this again, right?" Didn't you say the same? We are looking for a Loulan with little historical records, a legendary Yumen Pass. Well, a wandering lake. ”

Regarding this, Qin Zhen was not surprised. He had always known that Lop Nur was a wandering, unfixed lake. What Lan Qing said was not wrong, this trip they did not take the road written in geography and geology. Therefore, it is quite appropriate to say that you go by feeling. It's just that in the vast desert, moving forward with feeling, no matter how you think about it, you feel terrible. That seems to be no different from suicide. Their clues are just too few and too few. I hope that this road is not wrong, and I hope that I can find the legendary jade gate pass with ink jade on the top of the city. Then, from there, find the next clues.

Just when Qin Zhen's thoughts were confused, Gu Jie on the side said leisurely: "I'm really starting to suspect that Binzi and his grandfather are here to hunt for treasure!" If there really is such a huge black jade on the wall of the Jade Gate Pass you are talking about, then we can just give it down. ”

Qin Zhen glared at him impatiently and scolded, "Look at your little bit of talent, it's not a shame!" According to them, how big is that piece of black jade? Did you carry it out of the desert? You, it's nice to get yourself out. Let's get down to business! ”

While speaking, he had already seen the small Fangpan City in the distance, that is, the ruins of Yumen Pass in the eyes of the public. In fact, to be honest, it is a mottled and old earthen wall. After a hurried glance, the car passed by the "Jade Gate Pass" and went straight into the desert.

As he went deeper into the desert, the scene in front of him became more and more desolate, looking at the blood-red sunset in the distance, Qin Zhen thought to himself, it seemed that sleeping in the desert today was inevitable.

After driving for a while, the car stopped. Yu Dong explained simply, now this place is more suitable for resting at night, and I don't know if I will be able to find a suitable and safe place if I go further. That's why we decided to set up camp here.

In fact, the thought of sleeping here was not too disgusted. Next to the crescent moon spring of Mingsha Mountain, there are many tourists sleeping on the sand dunes at night. Locals will pitch their tents and set up bonfires for an unforgettable evening. It is said that the starry sky in the desert can even be seen clearly by the Milky Way. I don't know if they can have this kind of eye blessing this time.

Everyone was busy packing up the tent and belongings, and Gu Jie was also busy. Qin Zhen couldn't help much, so he wandered around by himself. He hadn't gone far before he saw Yudong. That kid seems to be watching the sunset leisurely.

Qin Zhen walked over and sat next to Yudong unceremoniously. Looking at the remnant sun on the horizon like blood, I couldn't help but sigh, "This desert sunset is really a strange beauty!" ”

After pondering for a while, Yudong said, "The natural landscape of any no-man's land will be absolutely beautiful. Of course, it's all fickle. ”

Qin Zhen thought for a moment, what he said was right. No man's land, as the name suggests, is a place where there are no human life activities, less man-made pollution and destruction, and the bad environment is naturally the original nature. However, it is precisely because such a beautiful scenery can be too terrifying and unpredictable that it will become a no-man's land.

The two of them just admired the sunset, and after a while, Qin Zhen spoke, "Since we can enter the desert together, we can be regarded as living and dying together." What do you have to hide? ”

Yudong looked at Qin Zhen puzzled, and then asked funny, "What am I hiding?" You need to know my name so much? ”

"Eh" Qin Zhen paused. This is obviously a normal question, why was he asked like this, but he didn't know how to answer it? Qin Zhen said unwillingly: "You are a crooked reason!" It's not that I don't have to know your name, but it's the most basic principle of being honest with each other, right? Or are we not friends yet?? Speaking of which, Qin Zhen's face was not very good-looking.

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen for a while, shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Some people are not necessarily suitable to be friends. In fact, the less you know, the safer you are. Do you understand? ”

Qin Zhen was angry, lit a cigarette, and replied without showing weakness, "I don't understand!" Since it's the same road, is it interesting to hide it like this? As he spoke, he took two deep puffs of cigarette angrily.

Yu Dong frowned at him, reached out and snatched the cigarette from Qin Zhen's mouth, and then stepped on it.

Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong's expressionless face in a daze, as if nothing had happened. Relieved, Qin Zhen said angrily, "You, you, you surnamed Yu!" Don't deceive people too much, what's the matter, you don't care about smoking? ”

Yu Dong didn't pay attention to Qin Zhen's thunderous jump, and just said lightly, "You smoke too hard." ”

Qin Zhen's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said angrily, "Big brother! I'm not diligent about your! You don't even want to say your name, but you are quite concerned about the feelings of my lungs at this time? You're too wide, aren't you? ”

Yu Dong still said expressionlessly, "The desert is already very dry, and after entering the desert, no one knows what will happen. In this bad environment, if you smoke at this rate, our water will run out faster, and your body will be even more unaccustomed to the dry environment here. ”

This time, Qin Zhen didn't get angry anymore, so he could only be honest reluctantly. Thinking about it, what he said does make sense. And people are also for their own good, so forget it. I don't know him anymore.

At this time, Yudong stood up, looked at the sky that had turned dark blue in the distance, and said slowly, "Go eat something, it's very important to survive here." If you want to hear some stories, see you here in the evening. With that, he turned and walked back.

When Qin Zhen heard that Yudong was going to loosen his mouth! He said excitedly, he wanted to sue SΓΉ Yudong, if you are a gentleman, you are not allowed to go back on your word.

Who would have thought that before the words came out, Yudong suddenly stood still, turned his head slightly and said, "The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, wear more." With that, he walked to the camp on his own.

Qin Zhen looked at his back and couldn't help but chuckle at the corners of his mouth. In my heart, my impression of Yudong has also changed a lot. This kid is actually a cold-hearted person, not a bad person, just an iceberg character, and a buddy must also be a very righteous master. It's just that I don't know what special circumstances or experiences have created him now. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen also patted his ass and stood up, perhaps, in the story of the night, there will be some answers?
