From the Jiashan Oasis to the center of Shanghai, there are more than 100 miles of road, this road is not easy, the long wind and sand have been like a knife to blow everyone's face, the soldiers are all covered with windproof sand masks, wrapped in thick cloaks, walking on the sand dunes one foot deep, one foot shallow, and a long row of footprints dragged out on the sand dunes......

Iyun opened the window several times to look out, and it turned out that all the scenery was exactly the same...... Dunes, dunes, dunes, undulating dunes, endless dunes......

After arriving, Yi Yun simply didn't look outside, anyway, it looked exactly the same-

More than 100 miles, walked for four or five days, including several times in a row encountered high-speed sand, the wind swept the sand, so that everyone's eyes could not open, everyone had to stop, lie down, hands to protect the head, let the wind and sand roll wildly, and when the wind and sand passed, everyone was covered with a layer of thick sand.

Fortunately, the Yiwu soldiers are all poor and hard-working people, although life in the desert is not easy, but they can eat enough, can dress warmly, and live a good life under the leadership of Yiyun, occasionally come out to perform a difficult task like this, everyone has no complaints, they also believe that there must be a reason why the prince of Jiashan led them out to endure hardship, so no one complained.

On the way, there were also several narrow unnamed sand rivers, which the soldiers crossed easily on pontoon bridges.

On this morning, the golden sunlight sprinkled on the sand, and everyone finally walked to the center of Shanghai, only to see a golden quicksand river appeared in front of them, about four or five hundred meters wide, flowing slowly from west to east.

"Report to the prince, you have found a large nameless sand river ahead, do you want to take a pontoon bridge to go there?" Qi Xinghui reported: "Please instruct the prince." ”

Yi Yun opened the window of the sand cart and looked at the sand river, looking left and right, recalling the location of the center of Shanghai as seen in later films, television and atlases, and after thinking for a long time, he connected with the terrain in front of him. He couldn't help but rejoice: "That's right, this nameless sand river is the Huangpu River...... This riverbank is the Bund!

The Bund was one of the first prosperous locations in Shanghai, and in the other world, the British colonists were the first to establish the British Concession here, and later the French also came to establish the French Concession. The concession was built better than other areas under the administration of the Qing government, and it soon became a center of trade on the opposite side, with many foreign banks, and became the financial street of Shanghai, and also known as the Oriental Wall Street.

Yi Yun was overjoyed and said, "Stop the march and camp here!"

"Yes!"

Eight hundred soldiers unloaded their luggage, took out tents and other belongings, and soon set up a simple camp on the sand dunes, surrounded by a simple iron fence, as a temporary fence of the camp, in the middle of which stood the tents where the soldiers lived, and in the middle was parked the big sand cart where Yiyun and the girls lived, which looked orderly.

Iyun first let the soldiers rest for the night, and the next morning, gathered all the soldiers on the flat ground in the middle of the camp.

"Brothers, ahem, my family has an ancestral treasure map, and the map indicates that there is a mysterious treasure near here, but ...... Ahem, I don't know what this treasure is, I just know that it is very valuable, everyone work hard, help me find this thing, after finding it, everyone will send a 'treasure hunting military merit medal'!" "Yi Yun laughed and said nonsense, he didn't want to say that there was a cork here too early, because the world of Da Meng was a little different from the world he was in after all, if he was sure that there was a cork here, but there was nothing, wouldn't it be a shame and a big shame?...,

If you find the cork, you will say that the cork is a treasure, and if you can't find it, you will say that the treasure may have been picked up by someone else, so it is not shameful. It's a matter of face, I'd rather die than give in.

Hearing that there are treasures in the sand dunes nearby, the soldiers also began to get excited, and the Yiwu soldiers were all cross talk actors, and they all laughed at this time: "It turned out to be a treasure hunt?

"I knew that the prince would not travel in the desert without anything, and there must be work to do when he went out this time. ”

"Let's guess what the treasure is?"

"Tsk, I guess it's a night pot made of gold!"

"Cut! It must be a white jade toilet!"

"You poor sour, will the prince afford these useless things? I guess...... It's a crystal beauty statue!"

Yi Yun despised them angrily for a while, and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly spread out for me." Remember, search every suspicious spot like a carpet, dig every bunker, and if the ground is a little hard, or if it looks like there's something buried, dig it all out and dig three feet into the ground!"

"Team 1, look south, team 2 look southwest, team 3 look west, team 4 look north!"

The two hundred soldiers divided into groups and searched in four directions, while Iyun and a few girls stayed in the middle, waiting for their news.

Rows of soldiers dug in the dunes as they spread out in four directions, and due to the sheer number of people, they soon dug up large sand dunes with rows of bunkers lined up neatly.

"I'm Khan, these guys are all pit digging professionals, the pits dug are so beautiful!"

"Lord, we Yiwu people used to live by digging silver mines, digging pits in the mountains every day!" A Yiwu soldier laughed and said: "When it comes to the level of digging pits, if we Yiwu people recognize the second, only Shanxi people can rank first in the world." ”

"What's wrong with Shanxi?"

"Ahem, it is said that Shanxi people are also very good at digging coal!" Yiwu Bing said with a smile.

"I'll wipe it!" Yi Yun kicked the guy away: "Then the people in Daqing are also very good at digging oil? ”

While waiting for the soldiers to dig the pit, Yi Yun talked and laughed with a few girls, and the day passed quickly. The Yiwu soldiers searched very hard, but this day's search did not have any results, although the Shanghai Center is placed in the entire Dameng country, it is only a small place, but even if it is such a small place, in the eyes of 800 people, it is also very vast, not a day or two can be found.

The Yiwu soldiers dug a lot of sand holes, and these sand holes occasionally pierced out of the death scorpion, but the soldiers were prepared when digging the holes, and the scorpion crawled out before it could bite anyone, and they were trampled to death, so no one was injured.

Didn't dig anything on the second day, and on the third day...... Day 4......

On the fifth day, the soldiers who had searched out to the southwest suddenly sent back the news and asked Iyun to come over and take a look, saying that they had found something strange.

Yi Yun was in good spirits and hurriedly brought a group of girls to watch.

In the southwest direction of the Bund, about the location of the Huangqing River near Xujiahui, in front of the soil pit dug by the soldiers, there are many sand holes, at least dozens of them, these sand holes are not big, each sand hole is only as thick as an arm, it seems that there should be a death scorpion living inside, from the number of sand holes, there are quite a lot of death scorpions here......

"Did you call me to see the scorpion?" asked Iyun curiously, "What's so strange about digging this thing?" ”

Qi Xing reported: "Lord Wang, there are surprisingly many poisonous scorpions here, you see this sand cave, there are dozens of them in a row, and then go forward, there are more sand caves, and the subordinates estimate that there are no less than a thousand dead scorpions living here.........,

"I'm dizzy, so much?" Iyun Khan: "What are these guys doing here?"

"I don't know!" Qi Xing wiped his sweat: "In addition, the subordinates have discovered a strange thing...... In the past few days, we have dug out several miles away nearby, coming and going, and we have not seen any other poisons, such as poisonous snakes and gophers that are common in other deserts, and there is not a single one here. ”

"Yo, is this a scorpion paradise?" Yi Yun said with a smile, "Grab them all and make a pot of fresh scorpion soup." ”

After he said a few strange words, he suddenly smiled and said: "Where there is an abnormality, there must be a strange treasure, what we are looking for, maybe it is in the area where these scorpion caves are most concentrated, call all the brothers over, and concentrate on digging this poisonous scorpion colony......"

"Yes!"

Wu Mingliang and Qi Xing hurriedly ran out to greet the soldiers who were digging in the other three directions, and called them all to the place where the poisonous scorpion cave was most concentrated, and the eight hundred soldiers waved their shovels together and dug desperately...... Yi Yun didn't go back to the Bund anymore, so he asked the soldiers to drive the sand cart over, and stopped at the edge of the scorpion cave area, quietly watching the soldiers keep digging.

As more and more sand pits were dug up, more and more poisonous scorpions were dug out, and the underground of this sand dune was staggered with scorpion holes, almost the entire sand dune was empty, and I don't know what kind of huge scorpion area dwelling was formed underground.

The poisonous scorpions that were trampled to death by the soldiers added up to three or four hundred!

After another day of digging, one of the soldiers suddenly shouted happily: "Brothers, I have dug up something strange, come and see!"

A group of people gathered around, and Yi Yun also squeezed over to look, only to see a strange piece of wood under the sand that the soldier had shoveled, revealing a strange piece of wood, rounded, earthy yellow, and soft wood...... Only a small corner has been dug out, and I don't know how big it is underneath...... But what is certain is that it will definitely not be small, because the little horn it shows cannot be shaken by hand.

Yi Yun was overjoyed: "Cork, a huge cork! Hahaha! Brothers, dig hard for me, and you must dig carefully, don't dig this cork badly." ”

Hearing Iyun's words, the soldiers finally understood what they had dug up, it was a cork? Doesn't that mean a new oasis is about to emerge?

The soldiers gathered around in ecstasy, carefully digging along the edge of the cork with shovels......
