Chapter 49 Section 48: Home

Ling Ning had woken up a long time ago, when she heard that there was a flood outside, and she was about to run, she got anxious and immediately got out of her sleeping bag, ready to run outside after putting on her shoes, but when she was putting on her shoes, , the furry feeling on the soles of her feet startled her, she retracted her feet and looked: "Ah! Mouse!" The mice in this place really frightened Ling Ning so much that he dared not move.These are all desert hamsters, maybe they also knew that a catastrophe was imminent, and for some reason, they all gathered in Ling Ning's tent, one on top of the other, I don't know how many there were.

Ling Ning took a flashlight to take a picture, and the hamsters caught in the photo turned their heads and bared their teeth at her. This time, she was so scared that she couldn't even hold the flashlight, and she shrank into the sleeping bag with a "slip" sound. . Fortunately, the hamsters seemed to come to her only for refuge and didn't seem interested in her personally.Without even looking at her, they all straightened their bodies and stared eastward blankly.Some were still trembling, as if they had become spiritual, knowing that they were doomed this time. After Ling Ning silently begged all the gods and Buddhas in the sleeping bag, Chu Feng's voice appeared outside the tent at the right time: "Ling Ning, are you inside?"

"I'm here! Brother Chu, I'm here!" Ling Ning was overjoyed and hurried to speak out. "Quick! Come out quickly! There is a flood, hurry up, or it will be too late!" Chu Feng's voice was urgent. But Ling Ning was even more anxious. If she could get out, why would she say: "Brother Chu, I can't get out!" Chu Feng became angry when he heard it, why is this girl so ignorant!It's time to play small temper!Without saying a word, he lifted the edge of the tent and came in!When he came in, he really took a deep breath, and at the same time, he also understood why Ling Ning couldn't get out.

I don't know how many mice there are. Even a big man like Chu Feng feels terrified when he sees it, let alone a little girl like Ling Ning. "Come out quickly! I'll carry you out!" When Ling Ning heard these words, Chu Feng had already come to her side, she quickly got out of the sleeping bag, and Chu Feng grabbed her and ran out.But unfortunately, it was too late!They delayed too long! The moment Chu Feng just stepped out of the tent, the figures of the two of them and the tents were swept up by the big wave, and soon they disappeared! Da Qi, who was chasing behind Chu Feng, saw this scene with his own eyes. His face turned livid instantly, but he did not stop. The power of the world in front of him was not something an ordinary person could contend with. He had no choice but to get in the car quickly and chase after him. The two cars that had already been driven went away!

At dusk, on the top floor of the Sheraton Hotel in Urumqi, Mr. Qiao heard the report from his subordinates, and his face was very ugly: "Are you sure he is missing?" "Sure, and our people are all dead!" It was the young man who came to report. "Did he do it?" "It's not like! It seems to be—" The young man hesitated a little. "Looks like what?" Qiao Lao said without anger. "Kind of like a shadow!" Hearing what he said, Mr. Qiao raised his eyebrows, really, what are you afraid of! Previously, he received a report from his subordinates that he knew that Chu Feng was missing. As the patriarch of a family that has tracked the number of days passed down for thousands of years, he knew many secrets of the inheritance of the number of days. On the person who counts the days.

Chu Feng was not taken seriously by him at first, but later he broke through the pursuit of the Russians and found the relics of the Dayue clan, which made him pay more attention to this person.From the current point of view, Chu Feng is the most likely person to inherit the so-called number of days.In order to ensure that Chu Feng would not die, he had to turn to one of his partners for help.However, as soon as the news from this side got through, there was a news that all the people he sent to chase after the golden mask were killed. "Is there any news over there?" "No! That person has been missing for three days. There are no fewer than 30,000 people who searched the area where he disappeared, but found nothing. What is even more strange is that the object of their trip - the stone tablet, also Nothing left!"

"Okay, you go down first!" Qiao Lao thought for a while, and felt that it was inappropriate to take any action now, so he waved the young man to go out.The young man got the order to go out and closed the door by the way. Looking at his old and cautious style of doing things, Mr. Qiao nodded slightly. The desert in June is definitely not a good place to go. In the hinterland of the Taklimakan Desert, the afternoon sun is the most venomous. In the endless sea of ​​sand, the tall sand dunes let the sun shine on them, bringing out a dazzling golden light.Although there are no bystanders, they are still there like dutiful sentinels.

From time to time, a gust of wind blew up a piece of yellow sand, and after a short breath, the bones of an unknown animal under the sand were quickly buried under another piece of sand. If this desert is still located at the southeastern end of the Taklimakan Desert, at the junction of the Lop Nur region, then it would be a real pain to go in this month when the surface temperature exceeds 48 degrees Celsius and it is likely to encounter sandstorms from time to time. Xu Wen from Shanghai is neither out of his mind nor has a tendency to masochistic, he just didn't inquire clearly in advance, read a few books about desert exploration, and jumped in on a whim.

He also came with his Xiaomi Xiaoxu!Xu Wen is the boss of a company engaged in the information industry in Shanghai, with assets of hundreds of millions, and he is not very young, only 32 years old.He is just such a little honey, who has been with her for 3 years, and his wife doesn't know anything about it. The adventure tour he organized this time was to rent a camel caravan from Arkan in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang, to the ancient city of Loulan.In addition to him, Xiao Xu and two camel workers, there is also a self-recommended guide—the old man Rob Aldek who claims to be 85 years old!

This old man has the same name as the famous Luobu guide who helped Sven Hedin find Loulan City because he lost a shovel more than 100 years ago, and later helped Bergman find Xiaohe Cemetery.He was accompanied by his daughter when Xu Wen was about to despair.Xu Wen originally thought that it would be easy to find a Rob guide in Milan Town, but he didn't expect that there are very few Rob people in Milan Town now, and he was too young to trust him.At this moment, the old man Aldek came to the door and said that he wanted to go back to his hometown, which was deep in Lop Nur, and he could be their guide by the way.

The old man said that he was 95 years old, but his daughter was only 28 years old.Xu Wen has long heard that the age calculation of the Rob people is to eat a ripe apricot once as a year old, and the accuracy of this age is questionable.When he couldn't find anyone else, Xu Wen had no choice but to accept the old man as his guide. Xu Wen, who was dizzy from the sun, had already begun to regret this impulsive behavior, but what he didn't know was that this dizzy adventure trip would change his life later. The wind started to pick up, and the air was already turbulent.Xu Wen sat on the back of a high camel, shaking his body back and forth as the camel advanced, feeling very uncomfortable. He secretly made up his mind in his heart that next time he would be in a hurry with anyone who asked him to ride a camel again. The old man could not speak Chinese at all, but the two Uighur camel laborers hired by Xu Wen could speak a little broken Chinese, and they could barely communicate, but when they translated the old man's words, they often failed to express their meaning. When he first entered the desert, there was no wind, but now the wind and sand were getting bigger and bigger, and the sand hit his face like needles. Xiao Xu couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help complaining. Xu Wen's situation was not much better. He imitated the two camel workers and leaned forward as far as possible. At this time, he could see nothing in front of him, only a hazy cloud of sand and ash. After a while, the wind and sand had turned into a sandstorm. Before entering the desert, Xu Wen read the weather forecast and thought he would never go in if there was a sandstorm.Unexpectedly, this has become a joke. Sandstorms in the desert come as soon as they are said, and they will never say hello in advance. Even Xiao Xu didn't have the energy to complain anymore, she was terrified, at this moment she couldn't see anything, and she didn't dare to stop, for fear of being buried in the sand, she continued walking, even more afraid of getting lost.She was so flustered, but there was nothing she could do.The mouth can't be opened completely, even if there is only a slight crack, the sand can fill your mouth. Those two hunchback workers were still very conscientious. Sometimes they occasionally showed their figures beside Xu Wen and Xiao Xu. They tried their best to look after their employers in the wind and sand, and sometimes yelled at them, but Xu Wen Can't hear anything. As for the old man Rob, he has not ridden a camel since he entered the desert, and he relies entirely on his own feet. At this time, the thin and dry figure appears and disappears in front of him, strangely, in this frightening sandstorm. However, as long as Xu Wen saw that thin figure, he would feel a sense of stability in his heart. The storm stopped suddenly after half an hour, and the original tranquility was restored in the whole desert, as if the storm just now was just Xu Wen's illusion. But Xu Wen knew that this was definitely not an illusion, because now he was covered in yellow sand, which reminded him that he had indeed walked in a sandstorm just now. As soon as I came back to my senses, I saw the old guide Aldek calling everyone and waving on a sand dune far ahead.Xu Wen followed the camel team, and the translation by the camel worker Ablimiti meant that the old man asked everyone not to go any further and camped here. "What? Just camp, it's still early, doesn't it mean that we can reach Guloulan in one day. We have to go back tomorrow, we can't delay here!" Xu Wen held his temper and opposed the old man's suggestion. The old man shook his head stubbornly, and kept saying something to Ablimiti. Ablimiti nodded repeatedly at what he said, and he stopped translating to Xu Wen, and went straight to unload the camel, looking ashamed. The look of camping here. Xu Wen couldn't bear it any longer: "What the hell are you guys going to do? Why didn't you go according to the agreed itinerary? Who is responsible for delaying my affairs? Besides, camping on the top of such a tall sand dune, are you crazy or am I crazy?" Ablimiti was stopped by him for such a questioning, and his Chinese, which was already stuttering, became even more anxious all of a sudden: "The flood...tonight...can't go..." In the end, Xu Wen also failed to act like a boss in front of the camel worker and the old man, because they didn't like it.He had no choice but to stay with Xiao Xu resentfully. Two hours later, Ablimiti solved the problem of camping, built a bonfire, and prepared dinner. Everyone ate some in a hurry, and the sky darkened.Everyone sat facing the fire, and the dancing flames reflected people's faces from time to time! The old man ignored anyone and sang a song facing the fire alone.Although he couldn't understand the lyrics, Xu Wen felt the vicissitudes and desolation in it. As the old man sang, he became more and more sad, as if he was about to cry.Xu Wen really wanted Ablimiti to translate the lyrics, but unfortunately even Ablimiti didn't know the meaning of the lyrics, because the old man sang in the spoken language of the Rob people, not Uyghur, and he couldn't understand it either.But he does know that this is an ancient song, and this song was sung by the Lop people when they returned to Lop Nur. Xiao Xu, who had already sat up, curled her lips: "Isn't it just a 'sea of ​​death' where birds don't lay eggs? What is there to miss. Leaving is the best choice!" Ablimiti was not happy after hearing this: "Taklamakan is not a 'sea of ​​death', it is our homeland! In our Uighur language, 'Taklamakan' means 'home, home of the past'! Please Don't say that wrong thing again!" Xiao Xu didn't expect his Fang Ying to be so fierce, looking at that serious face, he was a little scared: "Okay! Just don't say anything!" This night, Xu Wen originally thought he would not be able to sleep, but he didn't expect that it might be because of being very tired during the day, and he slept soundly at night, but the dream he had was a bit strange. He seemed to have slept on the sea all night, and heard The sound of the waves all night. At 7:00 the next morning, Xu Wen was awakened by the sound of the old man reading in bed.When he opened his eyes, he saw two camel workers getting up and going out to find the camels.He also got up and stood next to the fire to warm himself up, but he was so froze that his hands and feet felt numb! At this moment, he heard Ablimiti's exclamation: "Ah! There are people here!" He walked quickly to the edge of the dune and saw that it was in the middle of the dune, a man and a woman were wet and crawling on the dry sand without a trace of moisture, not sure whether they were dead or alive!
