Chapter 853: Bad City
Xiao An got up and looked at the sky, it was still very dark at this time, looking at the watch, it was just three o'clock in the morning, thirty-three minutes, Xiao An looked around, there was nothing, opened the curtains, there were only a few soldiers from the Spirit Binding Group patrolling outside, Xiao An scratched his head, at this time You Yi woke up from Xiao An's side and asked, "What's wrong, dear?" ”
Xiao An: "It's nothing, I had a nightmare...... "You Yi hugged Xiao An's neck, "Okay, okay, go to sleep!" After that, Xiao An continued to sleep......
"Get out of here...... Get out of ...... Get out of here! Xiao An woke up violently again, this time it was already bright outside the car window, Xiao An opened the curtain, and saw that the expedition team members outside the RV were ready to go, and they were allocating the area! looked at his watch, it was already half past seven, Xiao An only felt a sore back at this time, and he was a little powerless after becoming an ordinary person.
Xiao An opened the car door, and the two guards at the door saw Xiao An wake up and saluted, "Commander!" ”
Xiao An nodded, "Have you eaten?" ”
Guard: "Report to the regimental commander!" We change the guard at eight o'clock, and then eat after the change of guard! ”
Xiao An took one in one hand and forcibly took the two soldiers to the tent dedicated to eating, "There is nothing dangerous here, don't be so nervous, come and eat!" Eat together! ”
The two guards are twenty-two years old and the other is nineteen years old, and Xiao An's style of handling things is also well-known in the army, and he is not informal! So the two soldiers let go of eating, and in the process of breakfast, the young soldiers always looked at Xiao An from time to time, as if they wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao An smiled, "Why, say whatever you want, you're welcome!" ”
The young soldier wiped the oil from his mouth, "Commander, I heard that you are here to find the ancient city, right?" Xiao An nodded, and the soldier said, "Regiment commander, I am from here, and I have lived here since I was a child!" ”
Xiao An: "Then have you heard of the ancient city of King Xin?" ”
The soldier shook his head: "No! I've never heard of an ancient city here, but I once met a camel rider! He took me to a place that is kind of like where you are looking for! ”
Xiao An: "Camel rider? What then? ”
Soldier: "Commander, you don't know!" This camel ......" Before the young soldier finished speaking, he was slapped by the soldier next to him with his elbow, "The regiment commander doesn't know anything!" How to speak? ”
The soldier also realized that he had lost his words and pouted, and Xiao An hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay!" That's right! What's your name? ”
Young soldier: "My name is He Xiaodong!" "Older soldiers" report to the regiment commander! My name is He Hao! ”
Xiao An: "Oh? Are you two brothers? ”
He Xiaodong is the nineteen-year-old soldier "Yes! He's my cousin! I said a lot of your ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by He Hao, and quickly reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense!" "You know! Xiao An's Soul Binding Unit is a top-secret unit! Equipment, weapons, training programs, and mission content are all kept strictly confidential! This He Xiaodong said in front of the head of the regiment that He Hao said a lot of his deeds, isn't this a mistake!
Xiao An's face also became solemn and asked, "Where did you hear about it?" ”
He Xiaodong: "When I was in the field unit of the XX Group Army!" ”
Xiao An smiled: "That's okay!" It's all within the troops! Just don't talk nonsense outside! He Hao also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "Report to the head of the regiment, he wanted to retire from the army and go home, so I told you about your deeds and asked him to come to our regiment!" ”
Xiao An smiled, "Retired from the army and going home?" You're nineteen, and you're seventeen years old when you're in the army? ”
He Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, regimental leader!" There weren't enough people in that part of our family when they were recruiting, and my brother was a soldier, so he came early! Xiao An nodded, "It's good, I was only 16 years younger than you when I joined the army, by the way, tell me about the camel rider!" What is a camel rider? ”
He Hao: "Report to the head of the group!" Camel riders are actually foot merchants in the desert, who usually use camels to transport some cloth, silk, salt, alkali, flour and so on! When my brother was young, he was lost in the desert for more than ten days, and then he found it! Then it was said that a camel rider saved him, but where did the camel rider come from in this day and age, so we all thought that my brother must have hallucinated......"
He Xiaodong: "Oh, brother! It's true! ”
He Hao nodded: "Now I know, maybe it's true!" Ever since I joined our Soul Blending Unit, I've learned that some things really exist! Tell us about your experience! I haven't listened to it yet! ”
He Xiaodong wiped his mouth after drinking the soy milk in front of him in one gulp, and squatted directly on the chair, "I'll tell you!" It was an amazing experience! My brother knows that our family lives in Alxa Left Banner on the edge of the desert in Pain, and we have been playing on the edge of the desert since we were children, although we didn't dare to run in when we were young! But as I got older and bolder, I dared to do it, and once I made a bet with my friends that I would dare to stay in the desert all night! Don't you believe it? Let's just say I'm bragging! Hey! I wasn't happy at the time! I went home and carried a 5-liter bottle of mineral water into the desert! The result! The temperature that night was called a low! Almost froze me to death! I remember it vividly! My water is frozen! Hearing this, Xiao An suddenly frowned, and subconsciously asked Jing'er next to him, "Will the desert be so cold at night?" Sub-zero? ”
Jing'er "Impossible, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is indeed not small, it can reach fifty or sixty degrees during the day, but at most it is below ten degrees at night, although the human body feels very cold, but it will not freeze!" I think this kid is lying and bragging! ”
Yuyi sat on the sickle and said, "I'm definitely not lying, if I'm around the child, it's still very easy to freeze a pot of water." ”
Xiao An asked You Yi with his consciousness, "You mean that there are evil things around him?" ”
Yuyi: "At least that's what I think!" ”
Jing'er: "If that's the case...... It's possible! ”
He Xiaodong: "Although I wasn't thirsty at the time, I also felt a little strange! Maybe I've gone somewhere mysterious! The temperature of this place is particularly low! My frozen hands and feet were numb, so I dug up the sand and lay down in the sand! The temperature in the sand was still relatively warm, so I fell asleep unconsciously, but I was pressed by the sand, and I couldn't sleep steadily, and when it was almost dawn, I heard the sound of bells! I still say it in my heart! Where do the cattle come from in this great desert? Because only cows hang such bells, then I sat up and found that the sun had not yet risen, and the sky was cloudy! It's supposed to be cloudy! Then I met an old man! Covered in rags, led by three particularly strong camels! The bell is on the camel! And there are all sorts of things hanging on the camels! And the dress is different from us, it looks a bit ......"
Ann: "It's a bit old! ”
He Xiaodong slapped the table, "Yes!" It's ancient! Or the head of the regiment knows more! Xiao An smiled and motioned to He Xiaodong to continue, "Then the old man led the camel to me and asked how long it would take for me to get out of this desert?" I was dazed and said to the old man to come with me! Half a day to get out of the desert! Because I often play in the desert, so I know the way, but the sky is overcast and I am very hungry, so I said that we will go again when the morning is dawn, and the old man readily agreed, and then he sat down next to me, and said that I would exchange food for my water, I was very hungry, so I agreed, and then the old man took a large piece of bread from the camel, and I didn't know what it was at the time, but I didn't know it until I grew up! That's naan! ”
Ann: "Oh? Naan should be a delicacy in Xinjiang, right? How did it end up here? ”
He Xiaodong: "I don't know!" Not only naan, but also beef jerky! That beef jerky is different from the beef jerky in our grassland province! The taste is stronger! More fragrant! Then I'll eat it! The old man drank water, and I asked the old man, "Where do you come from?" Where are you going? The old man brushed his goatee and said that he had come from ...... It seems to be called ...... Aqik comes? Get ready...... Go...... Right! After eating, the old man suddenly stood up, looked into the distance, and told me that a big sandstorm was coming, and I also stood up and looked, and sure enough, the yellow sand in the distance rushed towards us like a mountain! I was terrified! The old man said take me to a place to avoid the sandstorm! I was scared too! Let's just say let's go! Then the old man took me for a day, and it was almost dark! That's a small house! A house I've never seen before! It's a bit like an ancient house, but it's very small, about the size of a sentry box, and the old man and I hid in it! It turns out to be a downward-facing staircase! And it's getting wider and wider! At first, there was yellow sand on the stairs, and then even the sand was gone! And it's unusually bright down there! No candles and no lights! But it's weird! It's bright! When we got to the bottom, we found a city wall! The city walls say Bad City! ”
Xiao An: "Evil city? Demonic evil? ”
He Xiaodong: "No! Nightmare of nightmares! "I even wrote it on the table with my fingers! Xiao An hurriedly asked, "And then?" Did you go in? ”
He Xiaodong: "No! Then I fell asleep tired! When I woke up again, I was already in the hospital, and they said I had been missing for seventeen days, but I just thought I had slept for less than two days...... Then I told me what was going on, and they all said I was hallucinating! I was found on the edge of the desert when the water in the kettle had turned into yellow sand! ”
Xiao An: "Have you been to Xinjiang before?" Have you ever eaten Xinjiang naan and beef jerky? ”
He Xiaodong shook his head, "Not at all, I had just turned ten years old at that time, and I hadn't heard of that at all!" I'm convinced that it wasn't an illusion, because I still remember the taste of naan and that meat to this day! So definitely not an illusion! I also told my parents about the meat and naan, and they couldn't explain it. ”
Xiao An looked at He Hao, "You go to the information soldiers, let them check, Aqike and Pailun, see if there are these two places!" "He Hao Lizheng" is! Head! After saying that, he trotted out, and Xiao An looked at He Xiaodong, "Then can you still find the small house at that time?" ”
He Xiaodong shook his head, "Commander, the environment in the desert changes three times a day, and it is impossible to find it!" And that house is very small, after so many years, it may have been buried under the yellow sand a long time ago! ”
Xiao An sighed, feeling a little disappointed, at this time He Hao came back and reported to Xiao An with an incredible face, "Report to the head of the group!" These two places ...... It really exists! ”
He Xiaodong: "Really! In what place! ”
He Hao: "Aqik is in the west of the Taklamakan Desert, and Pailon is in the east!" ”
Xiao An: "Huh? Taklamakan ? ”
