147. A trip to the desert
The big golden tooth also knew that Luo Zihang was in a hurry to use the money, so he didn't talk much nonsense when he received the baby, and paid the money very happily, and Ah Cheng also rushed to the hospital as soon as he got the money.
"Brother Jie, give, these should be enough for medical expenses, and the rest of the money will be given to Liu Ye to nourish his body."
Ah Cheng stuffed all the money they "earned" this time to Luo Zihang.
Luo Zihang didn't be polite to him, patted him on the shoulder and ran to the doctor.
After completing the formalities, Luo Zihang has been accompanying Liu Ye for the next period of time, and Liu Ye's state is ......
Not too good to be honest.
Because she knew that Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng went to rob the tomb for their illness.
In the archaeology major, tomb robbers have always been a group of people who are despised and hated by them, Liu Ye compares her heart to her heart, thinking that Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng both do this kind of thing with a deep sense of guilt, so she blames herself very much for this, which has caused her to be very depressed during this time.
But the real situation is that Luo Zihang doesn't care at all, and Ah Cheng has always been a bastard, and there is no complicated psychological struggle as Liu Ye thought......
After all, there is no such thing as willow leaves in the original book, and Zhou Shijie and Mu Yucheng have also become captains of Touching Gold.
However, no matter how the two persuaded them, Liu Ye decided that they were coaxing themselves, and said that they didn't care about it on the surface, but they were still blaming themselves behind their backs.
Under such a premise, the result of the operation was as Luo Zihang guessed...... Failed with a very small probability.
However, Luo Zihang, who had already been mentally prepared, and knew that this was a copy of the world, was only a little stunned, and did not feel much sadness, but Ah Cheng cried to death, and borrowed wine every day to kill his sorrows, drunk and dreamed of death.
Originally, Luo Zihang was still thinking of finding an opportunity to persuade him, but within a few days, Ah Cheng, who had regrouped his spirit, came to the door first.
"Brother Jie, I don't think we can go down like this anymore." Ah Cheng said solemnly to Luo Zihang.
No, you're the only one who has fallen during this time......
Luo Zihang complained silently in his heart.
And Ah Cheng didn't notice Luo Zihang's subtle eyes, and continued to say passionately: "Presumably the willow leaves are in the sky, and I don't want to see us fall willingly!" ”
】
It's said that you're the only one who has fallen......
Luo Zihang continued to complain.
Then Ah Cheng said a lot of things, in a word, he wanted Luo Zihang to continue to work hard.
"Before Liu Ye left, he always felt guilty about our tomb robbery, so we can't continue to rob the tomb." After giving a "speech", Ah Cheng finally got to the point: "But to be honest, I can't do those ordinary professions now, so I contacted Professor Wei last night, and he found an archaeological team for us, saying that a Chinese-American funded to go to the desert of the Victorian region to find the ancient country of Loulan." ”
Well...... The reason for participating is not much different from that of Li.
In the original book, this is also the work that Professor Wei helped to contact, after all, their character backgrounds are different from Hu Bayi, and if they can make money seriously, they will not choose to rob the tomb.
To be honest, Luo Zihang didn't want to go.
Exploring ancient tombs doesn't matter, the desert is not a fun place, not to mention that they are bound to encounter a once-in-a-century large desert storm...... Even if he knew that he couldn't die, it would be an extremely bad experience, and he was full to find guilt?
And Liu Ye just "died", although he knew that this was just a copy, it didn't matter, but after all, the two had lived together for so long, so although Luo Zihang was not as decadent as Ah Cheng during this time, he was still a little unmotivated.
can consider the problem of "the will of the world", if you don't go to the plot, you will have to be targeted by the "world", which is not much better for Luo Zihang, who is used to the life of a koi, than disconnecting the network and cutting off the mobile phone in the real world.
So after hesitating, Luo Zihang still agreed to Ah Cheng's invitation.
A few days later, Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng met with the archaeological team that Professor Wei had helped contact, led by two professors, one named Miao Shuping and the other named Tian Jun.
Professor Tian and the two know each other, and they are also one of their teachers in the university, Luo Zihang has also taken each other's public classes, while Professor Miao is not actually an archaeologist, but an expert in history and folklore......
I don't know why he, a "weak scholar" who sits in the office every day, can't think of running to the desert to find the ancient tomb of Loulan.
In addition to the two professors, there are also three students of Professor Tian, two men and one woman, who can be regarded as Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng's younger brothers and sisters.
The last person is the heroine who is in charge of funding and intends to travel with her, and the main reason she finances the archaeological team is to go to Loulan to find her missing father, or ...... Her father's remains.
"Hello, my surname is Mo, my name is Monica, and my Chinese and English names are called this." Monica shook hands with the two.
"Zhou Shijie."
"Mu Holmium City."
Luo Zihang and the others also reported their names.
"Huh? Wait, I seem to have a little impression of you......" After the two of them briefly introduced themselves, Professor Miao suddenly remembered something, stared at Ah Cheng for a while, frowned and muttered: "The name Mu Holmium City is very distinctive, I'm sure I've heard of it somewhere before......"
After a moment, he slapped his thigh hard, "Aren't you the antique appraiser of Shen Yizhai?!" ”
Then, Professor Miao turned to look at Monica and said, "This person can't do it, he has done something." ”
Shen Yizhai is naturally the antique shop where Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng stayed before and pit customers.
Without waiting for Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng to cry out, Professor Tian took the first step to help explain: "They did work in Shen Yizhai for a while, but these two children were not involved in that incident at the beginning, and Lao Wei's students are still trustworthy. ”
Then he said to Monica: "The two of them have followed Professor Wei of our school into the Kunlun Snow Mountain, and they have a lot of experience in facing the harsh environment, and Lao Wei also told me that the two of them were the best students at that time, especially Zhou Shijie, who saved the lives of several students during the period, if it weren't for some reasons, they would have made a name for themselves among archaeologists." ”
Some things are difficult to explain too clearly, but Professor Tian knows why Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng gave up archaeology and chose to work in an antique shop in the first place, so after he finished speaking, he shook his head with some embarrassment.
As for the matter of the tomb of the goddess, Professor Tian didn't know much about the specific situation, so he didn't take it out to say it, and Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng naturally didn't take the initiative to mention it.
Despite this explanation, Professor Ke Miao was still a little resistant to Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng, but he didn't say anything more, just nodded coldly at the two, and then turned his head to ignore the two......
"Go! What is the spirit? We didn't do anything wrong......" Ah Cheng pouted unhappily.
And Luo Zihang didn't care very much, but felt that such people were easier to deal with.
Old-fashioned, simple, and high-minded...... Professor Miao's personality is quite nerdy or ancient sour Confucianism, which is quite easy to understand anyway.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for him to stick someone else's cold ass with a hot face.
On the other hand, Monica, as a funder, didn't care if Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng had "criminal records", but it was the experience of the two that made her shine.
The owner of the gold has no opinion, and the two naturally joined the team smoothly.
After the nine people were assembled, Monica arranged for everyone to set off resolutely, and everyone communicated several times along the way, and gradually became familiar with them, only Professor Miao was still very cold to Luo Zihang and Ah Cheng, and they were not interested in taking the initiative to improve the relationship.
In this way, the group entered the Victoria District and came to a small town near the Taklamakan Desert.
I don't know if it's because they have received foreign financial assistance, or because Professor Miao and Professor Tian's identities are not as strong as Professor Wei's, this time they only contacted a local villager as a guide, and they did not have the treatment of border guards when they first entered Kunlun Mountain.
In this era, desert off-road vehicles were not very popular, and at this time, the development and greening of the desert of the national team had just begun, and the public's perception of the desert was still relatively unfamiliar, so at the suggestion of the guide, Monica gave up the initial pickup truck and instead bought a twenty-peak camel, equipped with a full supply of supplies.
"She is worthy of being the daughter of a Wall Street tycoon, and she buys so many things when she says she buys them." Ah Cheng watched Monica spend money there with some envy, and whispered to Luo Zihang.
The first part of the journey was quite easy, and from time to time you could see water sources such as rivers and lakes, and the novelty of entering the desert for the first time made everyone's interest quite high.
However, as they gradually went deeper, the surrounding environment also became bad, and for several days they saw the yellow sand in the sky, and the strong wind blew the sand dunes, and the landscape changed day by day, without any features.
If it weren't for the guide, they wouldn't know where they were, even if they had a compass.
That is, they brought enough camels and materials, so although the condition was bad, and even encountered a few small storms and ate a mouthful of sand, the state of the group was actually quite good, but because it was too hot and tired, it was not as active as at the beginning.
However, Luo Zihang knew that this situation would not last long, because they were destined to encounter a once-in-a-century desert storm.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the guide to remind everyone after observing the weather that there would be another storm tonight, and the scale of the storm this time would be very large, and the sand wall would not be able to stop it, and if they didn't rush to the ruins of West Night City as soon as possible, everyone would be buried alive in the desert.
After reminding him, as written, he slowly and leisurely got down from the camel, took out a blanket, spread it on the yellow sand unhurriedly, knelt on it, closed his eyes slightly, looked reverent, stretched out his hands to the sky, and then covered his face again, and prayed aloud to the gods of faith.
They have seen similar situations many times, and this is the homework that guides must do every morning.
It was not clear why the guide had prayed once in the morning, and why he had suddenly started again, but when they saw him so calm, they assumed that he had said that the matter of a great storm was not too serious, or that it was not so urgent...... After all, he said that it would only come at night.
So everyone who was still a little worried relaxed with them.
And Luo Zihang, who had known the situation for a long time, not only did not relax, but became even more nervous, and while he loudly urged the people who were still chatting, he turned over the camel.
"Quick! Hop on a camel! It's their custom, and the big storm is really coming! ”
The others were still in a daze, and Ah Cheng, who had absolute trust in Luo Zihang, climbed on the camel as soon as possible, put on the goggles, and urged loudly.
With the two of them taking the lead, the others obediently mounted their camels, even if they had doubts in their hearts, but they were still hesitating to speed up and run...... After all, tossing and turning on the back of a camel is not a pleasant experience.
At this time, the guide, who had finished praying, changed his previous steady, his body seemed to be tightened by clockwork, rolled up the blanket three times and twice, jumped on the camel like a yellow one, and gave a long whistle: "Oh, young and young...... Come on! If you run late, you will be buried in purgatory in the black sand! ”
After saying that, he urged the big camel under his crotch and ran first.
Now the others didn't have to hesitate any longer, ripped off the windshield from their heads, and scrambled to whip the camels under their butts.
“tmd! This old pit goods! Ah Cheng urged his camel and cursed: "I still have to pray when I die...... What the hell is going on here?! ”
But they weren't very flustered, though they were running for their lives, for the storm would not appear until night, so to put it nicely, they were just on their way now, but in a little hurry.
A group of people with camels ran for several hours until noon, when several camels were so tired that they stuck out their tongues.
"Let's take a break and eat something." The guide turned over and got out of the camel, and said to the crowd as he took out dry food and fed it to them.
The rest of the people then relaxed, got out of their camels, staggered out of dry food and water, and ate a few bites of it......
Although the camels are responsible for running, it is also very laborious to sit on it, and the degree of bumps is even more exaggerated than the original Yunnan-Tibet Highway, many people are retching after getting off the camels, and Professor Miao and the female student, who have never suffered this crime, vomited directly.
In addition to the guide and Luo Zihang, the best state is Ah Cheng, who has similar experience and is young and strong, and the experienced Professor Tian, and Monica's situation is also not bad, according to the system's evaluation, she should also have a talent similar to "Touching Gold".
After eating a little and reinforcing the supplies on the camel's back, everyone led the camel slowly forward under the advice of the guide, and only Professor Miao and the female student, who were in the worst condition, still sat on the camel.
"How do you know it's customary for guides to pray before they escape?"
As a folklorist, Professor Miao was very curious that Luo Zihang could know and perceive this, so after some struggle, he couldn't help but ask this "liar" who he looked down on.
Luo Zihang glanced at him surgingly, and popped out two words: "Guess." ”
The main thing is that he doesn't know how to explain, so he just doesn't bother to answer, anyway, the relationship between the two is not very good, even if he deliberately doesn't answer, it won't seem that there is anything wrong.
And Ah Cheng, who was next to him, was already unhappy with this tall Professor Miao, but after hearing Luo Zihang's answer, he couldn't help laughing.
Professor Miao, who finally pulled down his face to ask, turned dark and did not continue to ask.
Professor Tian wanted to make a round and speak for Professor Miao, and by the way, let the three of them improve their relationship.
However, before he could speak, a breeze blew through the dunes, rolling up wisps of sand, and the sky in the distance gradually turned a dark yellow.
At the same time, the guide also reminded everyone loudly: "The trade winds are coming!" Run away, everyone! ”
