Keli nodded: "If you want to take a bath and wash your face, I advise you not to do this, the wind and sand in the desert are already very big, and it is difficult to clean people's bodies, you just wash them again, and after walking for a few miles, your body will be stuck by the wind and sand again, and if you wash it like this, it will be difficult for the water on your body to last until night." ”

"In the desert, as long as there is a lack of water, it probably lasts less than three days!"

Yue Guanchao teased: "Did you hear that, if you don't have any water, we won't have any water for you to drink." ”

"Cut!" Although Yue Erpao was not too happy, in the case of a lack of water in the desert, he had to save the pure water.

Subsequently, everyone drank water, rested, and took advantage of the gap between the hurries to loosen their legs and feet, and they would definitely continue to rush in the afternoon, and take advantage of this to squint and make up for sleep.

When Yue Guanchao was resting, strange movements began to appear in his ears!

At first, these movements were just the sound of the wind and rustle, until the wind and sand screamed louder and louder, and finally formed a noisy chanting sound, as if there were thousands of monks humming in the ancient city chanting and praying, and then the chanting sound continued to diverge.

The soldiers marched in formation, causing the weapons to shake, the business travelers rushed to the road, causing the neighing of the carriages and horses, the shouting of the shopkeepers, the noisy shouting, the vendors walking the streets, a series of shouts, the ancient city appeared one after another marching roads, chariots and horses walking, lively markets, three religions and nine streams, all kinds of various sounds, all kinds of strange movements, all in the sound of chanting whimpering, gradually more and more clearly poured into the ears of people,

"Listen, what is that sound?"

When Yue Guanchao was resting, he was still vigilant, and when he heard the sound in his ears getting clearer and clearer, he immediately opened his eyes.

"We're not going to run into a ghost town."

Yue Erpao recalled the ghost words of the deserted city that Xu Xiake said, and immediately hid beside the camel.

Song Siyuan looked around, looked at Keli and said: "Before we came, Xu Xiake had already passed the strange legend of the abandoned city in advance, and it is rumored that this kind of abandoned ancient city has a soul inhabiting it, and when the night comes, it will come out to confuse the merchants and intimidate pedestrians. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that I would not be able to live in the daytime, and I could even intimidate the big people."

At the moment, the noisy sound is getting clearer and clearer, and they can even hear the babbling of children and the noise of husband and wife in their ears, even if the sun is shining, they have accumulated a cold sweat without knowing whether it is true or not.

Kelly seemed to be accustomed to these things, explaining: "I have encountered these things a few times, but I have never seen any souls confuse pedestrians, I have asked Abba what the hell is going on, and he said that these people have been taken away by the devil, and from then on they can only exist in the devil's world, and we can't find them at all in the world we are in, and we can only hear the voice of them living in another world under special circumstances." ”

Xu Xiake listened carefully to these strange movements, and teased: "Maybe someone is pretending to be a ghost, let's just go and see for ourselves!" ”

"Listen, is this the word that a Taoist priest who is dedicated to the Tao can say? I thought you were going to slay demons again. ”

Although Yue Guanchao's words were ridiculous, he was not afraid in action, and took Song Siyuan and Xu Xiake to pick up the machete and shotgun together, and cautiously began to search the city.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to track down the sounds, they began to walk along the city walls, and the abandoned ancient city gradually became their eyes.

The area of the ancient city is not large, the square is regular, it looks like an ancient style, but most of the city towers and watchtowers have been destroyed, only from the square tower base at the head of the city can also be seen to be an ancient pavilion, the longest city wall is only 500 meters, counting the area, at most it is a densely populated town.

In the town, as they had assumed, most of the houses and shops in the market were completely undated and unrecognizable, the timber was rotten into slag, and the walls were mostly collapsed.

Most of these buildings and mansions are piled up with a thick layer of sand under the condition of the northwest wind and sand, and the sand has to be cleared very thick to see the real thing, and it looks extremely desolate.

When Song Siyuan observed the ruins of the mansion, she could clearly see that no matter how small or small these mansions were, there was always a mound fixed in the center of the courtyard, and she thought that this situation was an exception.

In the face of this kind of regular thing, Song Siyuan already felt the strangeness in it, and she asked Keli: "Brother Keli, what do you know about the mounds in these yards?" ”

Regarding these, Keli is not very clear: "The abandoned ancient city is ever-changing, there is everything in the ruins, I guess it should be some kind of courtyard structure, or it is a charred tree stump, they can't build the tomb in the courtyard!" ”

The discussion was fruitless, but it made Song Siyuan more curious, whether this thing was a carbonized tree stump or a grave, it had already aroused her curiosity.

Song Siyuan simply put on a mask and sunglasses, walked near one of the mansions, and when she walked into the courtyard, she focused her eyes on a mound raised above the ground.

Most of these mounds are half a meter high and half a meter wide, under the loess cover, like a flat-roofed tomb, she walked to the vicinity of the mound, and used the sapper pickaxe in her hand to pry open the loess seal, and after the half-meter-thick loess layer was cleared, the original appearance of the mound was also cleaned up.

Under the loess seal, you can see the hexagonal structure of the bluestone slab wall, which is carved with the carved paintings of the people collecting water and washing, Song Siyuan's eyes lit up: "I suspect that these mounds are wells covered by loess." ”

After that, Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake continued to dig the soil, dug up all the loess near the bluestone slab, and released the entire bluestone slab from the loess seal.

By now, the speculation that the bluestone slab structure was a well had come true, and Song Siyuan picked up a sapper pickaxe to pry open the stone slab covered by the wellhead.

With a bang, the stone slab fell to the ground and shook up dust, and when the loess completely dissipated, she picked up a flashlight and shone it at the half-meter-wide wellhead, and the lamppost illuminated the wellhead.

The whole borehole is about three meters from the wellhead to the bottom, similar to the cylindrical trapezoidal shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, the wellhead position is the narrowest, and then it is wider and wider to the bottom.

The wall of the well is mostly paved with green bricks, extending from the wellhead to the bottom, these green bricks were soaked in water before, and then dried up for thousands of years, and have already formed obvious water marks on the well wall, with the gradually decreasing water marks, you can also see the water level of the well in various historical periods.

Only the bottom of the well was different from the well they had seen, and there seemed to be a culvert under the bottom of the well, forming two arches of water in and out of the left and right walls.
