Chapter 112 Chapter 24 Two Thousand Years of Waiting

After Zhao Shuai asked this question intermittently, Mu Qingxiang nodded. He seemed to have something very important to tell me, but his life came to an end.Mu Qingxiang kept holding Zhao Shuai's hand and never let go for a moment. Although she couldn't see her sadness, this was an unprecedented move. I wanted to ask what happened to the "bees" mentioned by Zhao Shuai, but I didn't think it was appropriate, so I didn't open my mouth.Mu Qingxiang knew everything, and while I was still hesitating, she said that it was not the right time to mention this matter, and I would not believe her.At the end, Mu Qingxiang said that this matter was related to the worldwide disaster she mentioned before, and she would tell me everything when she left the desert.

"Now let's bury Zhao Shuai properly. Although the ancient city is in ruins, it still maintains its grandeur. Then Fei Leya will accompany him." After Mu Qingxiang finished speaking, she picked up Zhao Shuai and started to walk outside the pagoda hall. Uncle Chen and Uncle An kept watching us silently, and cooperated without asking any further questions, but when Mu Qingxiang was about to walk out with Zhao Shuai's body in his arms, they stopped them in panic.But Mu Qingxiang made up her mind to go, she didn't take the two elders seriously at all, she just asked me to take Zhao Shuai's broken leg with her, and now I have to bury him properly.A group of wolves surrounded the gate of the pagoda hall. If we go out like this, unless we have an indestructible body, we will not leave a single bone.

"Now this is the only thing we can do for Zhao Shuai. We postpone it because we are afraid of death?" Mu Qingxiang looked at me and said, "If Zhao Shuai was afraid of death, he would not enter the desert. Don't worry, I already know that Sha Why are wolves not afraid of bullets?" Before I had time to ask what was the reason, Mu Qingxiang asked me to give her the needle box and asked me to take Zhao Shuai's right leg.I feel uncomfortable, I will do whatever Mu Qingxiang says.Although Uncle An tried to dissuade him, when Mu Qingxiang left with Zhao Shuai in her arms, she kept holding down the needle box with one hand.After hundreds of needles were fired, the wolves were all wounded, and they all disappeared into the darkness for a while.

I walked out of the pagoda hall immediately, and Uncle Chen and Uncle An also followed, staying with us every step of the way.Mu Qingxiang used up all the needles, and when she couldn't press any needles, she graciously threw away the needle box on the spot.I followed behind in a daze, thinking that the box was lost, how would we get out of Foehn, and she wanted us to be buried with her.This thought was like water running over a duck's back, and I soon stopped thinking about it, and I didn't pick up the box, and my mind was tied to Zhao Shuai's death. We didn't walk very far, Mu Qingxiang counted the steps, and she stopped only ten meters away from the stone pagoda.The current location should be the real center of the ancient city. Mu Qingxiang put Zhao Shuai down, and then knelt down to dig the sand with her hands.In this situation, I was in infinite pain. Although there was a shovel in the tower hall, I didn't go back to get it. I also knelt down and dug the sand with my hands.

Uncle Chen and Uncle An didn't do that, they just stood there, guarding against the pack of wolves that would sneak up on them at any time at night.Mu Qingxiang and I dug the yellow sand silently, but the yellow sand is not like soil, the sand slides down after digging, and it is difficult to dig out deep pits with bare hands.I thought I wouldn't be too sad, but as I dug, tears began to fall, dripping into the thirsty desert.It is very embarrassing for a grown man to cry, but at this moment I didn't care, and let the tears fall happily. After my vision was blurred, I dug down the sand desperately, and I couldn't even see Mu Qingxiang clearly on the opposite side.The ten fingers rubbed against the yellow sand constantly, and the pain was excruciating, but only pain can relieve grief.The bunker was dug bigger and deeper, and I completely forgot about the Zhao family and whether they would ask me for Zhao Shuai's body.After digging nearly a meter of sand, my fingers touched something so hard that my nails bleed.

That thing didn't look like a rock. I wiped away my tears and looked into the bunker furiously, trying to figure out what was in the bunker.Since neither Uncle An nor Uncle Chen pointed their flashlights at the bunker, it was difficult to see clearly only by moonlight.I moved my head closer, trying to get a closer look, but unexpectedly, Mu Qingxiang grabbed something in the bunker and pulled it out of the yellow sand. "Wow, this is..." Uncle An was taken aback by the sound. "Skeleton?" Chen Shu was also surprised. I didn't expect that there would be a corpse under the yellow sand, and I was a little flustered, but soon my whole body was occupied by sadness.After the bones were pulled out by Mu Qingxiang, they were not broken, and some dehydrated yellow-purple skins were still connected together.This is just a small episode, the ancient city has long since been deserted, and it is normal for there to be one or two dead bodies.Uncle Chen and Uncle An urged us to hurry up, or we would be doomed when the wolves came.I turned a deaf ear and concentrated on digging a hole, but the more I dug down, the more corpses I found, and at least a dozen were found.

As for the origin of these corpses, we didn't pay attention to them for the time being, and we didn't expect that this move was to rob people's tombs.In the future, I also thought about this matter, but at that time few people could consider it carefully, and those corpses were obviously not buried voluntarily, but were covered by yellow sand after a tragic death, and nine out of ten of them were the original residents of the ancient city. When the pit was about to be dug, a thick red worm emerged from the yellow sand, like a section of intestine.I saw this kind of worm when I entered the ancient city of Yuequan. At that time, I also found the stone statue of the tea ancestor. I accidentally cut off the hand of the tea ancestor.This bloodworm was very disgusting, I kicked it to death when I saw it, splashing a puddle of mucus.Zhao Shuai was about to be buried in the bunker, so in order to prevent the unknown red worm from polluting the place, I threw a handful of sand on the red worm to cover it.

Mu Qingxiang put Zhao Shuai into the sandpit, and then pushed the sand down with her hands. In this way, Zhao Shuai was separated from us forever.Mu Qingxiang and I stared at Huangsha for a long time, thinking about Zhao Shuai's past, just as we were engrossed in our thoughts, we suddenly heard someone digging.Looking back, Uncle Chen has returned to the pagoda hall, took a shovel, and is now digging a hole next to it. The digging didn't matter, but many yellow-purple corpses were dug up, one after another, as if they had come to hell in the dark night.We immediately understood that the people of the ancient city of Yuequan had not migrated, and almost none of them could leave the ancient city alive.If we dig up all the yellow sand in the ancient city of Yuequan now, it is likely that tens of thousands of mummies will be dug up. It turns out that the people in the ancient city were buried by the yellow sand after they died.

"Could it be that they were invaded and all killed?" Uncle An sighed, "The invaders in ancient times were too cruel, right?" "Who would kill all the people in the city without throwing them out and occupying the city?" I denied, "Besides, who would be so stupid as to want to kill the people in the desert deep in the ancient city of Yuequan? come to invade." "Not necessarily, maybe others don't like the people of the ancient city?" Uncle Chen guessed. I also thought about Zhao Shuai's death, so I didn't argue with them much, just take what they said.Uncle Chen wanted to continue digging, so I quickly told him to stop, don't dig, and bury it back quickly.Uncle An followed suit, but Uncle Chen couldn't hold back everyone, so he had to let them go.However, while Uncle Chen was digging, he whispered, all guessing why the ancient city suffered from the destruction of the city.

In fact, I also find it very strange. According to common sense, it is unlikely that people in the ancient city were massacred by human invasion.These ancient people have been dead for nearly two thousand years, and they waited for two thousand years before a few groups of people entered the ancient city and discovered their existence.The first few batches of people who entered the ancient city, I don't know if they found that all the remnants of the Guishuang Empire died in the ancient city, but those intruders who failed to leave are likely to die from the same cause of death as the people of the ancient city.

After 2,000 years of waiting, these mummies have become blurred, unlike the more recent ones, where the scars on the corpses can still be seen.But if it weren't for the enemy's troops to enter, why did the people of the Guishuang Empire die in the ancient city at the same time, and what method would it be able to do.Putting poison into the spring water is not feasible. I think the springs are mostly active and rolling.Unless a trainload of poison is poured into the spring, it is impossible to poison all the tens of thousands of residents in the entire ancient city. It is a pity that such a large ancient city was destroyed overnight, but throughout the ages, there are very few ancient countries that mysteriously disappeared.After the demise of the Guishuang Empire, the remaining forces fled into the desert. How to get involved with the tea ancestors, I always feel that the answer is right in front of me, but I can't get rid of the mystery.As for Freya, I believe she has long been buried under the yellow sand somewhere, rather than entering the ancient city.You know, there is a foehn wind around the ancient city of Yuequan, and Feileya can't use a needle box to blow out the specific rhythm of the tea song, so how can she enter the ancient city of Yuequan. A barren desert of yellow sand has attracted and buried many people for thousands of years.I stood there sighing, sighing at Zhao Shuai in the sandpit, and even felt that this was just a dream, maybe we were still in Beijing when we woke up, or we were still digging subway detection holes on the construction site in Qingdao.It's a pity that the truth is always so cruel. Zhao Shuai will never wake up. He will sleep with the world and the world in an unknown corner of history with this piece of yellow sand. Uncle An saw that I fell silent, and finally said comforting words: "Xiaolu, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Since you all buried Xiao Zhao, you must cheer up and walk out of this ancient city alive." Uncle Chen also echoed: "Ju An is right. People cannot be resurrected after death. If there is another chance in the future, we will come back to pay homage to him. But I find it very strange that you don't seem to want to investigate the desert environment. Listen to what you said just now. Why? It seems that you want to find this strange ancient city?" I had long forgotten the excuse of the environmental inspection, it was done with the help of Zhao Shuai's father, who would have thought that it would be exposed one day.I didn't know how to answer for a moment, Mu Qingxiang and Zhao Shuai had mentioned it in front of Chen Yepeng and Juan, if I deny it now, it would be like slapping myself.Listening to Uncle Chen's tone, it is clear that we are going to blame us, and I don't want to argue about who is right and who is wrong now. After all, our reason for looking for the ancient city is very special, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Even if we really tell Uncle Chen and Uncle An clearly, will they believe it?Until this time, I finally realized Mu Qingxiang's suffering. Some things cannot be convincing without witnessing and experiencing with my own eyes, and I will only be laughed at.It takes a lot of time to explain now, and I'm not in the mood to linger with Uncle Chen, so I just evade a few words, planning to tell the whole story honestly after leaving the ancient city. At this moment, a gust of wind blew up in the ancient city of Yuequan, and I was suddenly woken up—why the little cousin hasn't come back for so long, could something have happened!
