The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Unfortunately, they were still a little happy too early. After An Liman came out of the police station, they followed An Liman to his home and began to change their minds.

An Li was focused on eating and drinking well while feeding his camels, but he never mentioned entering the desert.

Seeing An Liman like this, Shirley Yang could only ask: "Uncle An Liman, when can we set off?"

An Liman didn't seem to hear it, and continued to feed his camel. While feeding, he muttered: "These people don't know how to raise camels at all. They have all lost weight."

Hu Bayi and the others were a little confused when they saw An Liman like this, especially when other people asked about it. At one moment they said that their camels must be well fed and drunk, at another moment they talked about money, and at another moment they talked about the wind season. It's too dangerous to enter the desert and you have to save your life.

In the end, Hu Bayi was cunning and asked Fatty to threaten An Liman. If he didn't help, they had no way to plead with the people at the police station and sent him back to the police station.

An Liman became a little more honest now, but he was still a little hesitant about entering the desert. In the end, Hu Bayi had no choice but to go into battle himself and said a few words in An Liman's ear. An Liman looked at Hu Bayi in shock, and finally agreed to let them enter the desert during the dangerous wind season. Because only in this season can the ruins of the ancient city be found.

Two days later, Zhao Shucheng and his party rode camels and officially set foot in the desert with An Liman.

It has to be said that Anliman is indeed a living map of the desert. After the group entered the desert, they did not encounter any setbacks or dangers.

Everyone started from Bosten Lake and walked south along the Kongque River Ancient Road. Bosten means 'oasis' in Uyghur and 'standing' in Mongolian. At the same time, it is also the largest inland freshwater huff and puff lake in my country. The Kongque River originates from here and then flows to the depths of the Taklimakan Desert.

However, the journey in the desert is boring. At first, it was okay to follow the Kongque River Ancient Road. However, after leaving the river and entering the desert for two days, everyone lost their elegance on the first day and became ashen and miserable.

Especially everywhere you look, except for the occasional desert-specific plants, there is nothing but sand.

It was too boring for everyone to walk all the way, so they stopped to rest. Shirley Yang took a camera to take pictures of the surrounding scenery. After seeing it, Hu Bayi walked up to Shirley Yang and said, "Shirley, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are."

An Liman pointed to the distance and said: 'While you are still alive, hurry up and take some photos! '

An Liman actually didn't think that this group of people could go so deep into the desert. None of them had any experience in desert life, and they were still wasting water to wash their hands. Maybe they could return the same way after today.

He persuaded Hu Bayi to take everyone back, because no one has ever entered the desert during the windy season, and no one has ever really found the ancient city of Jingjue and the gold and silver treasures inside. No one can bring out the things in the Black Desert. .

The next day, early in the morning, a group of people were preparing to set off, but they did not expect that the sky was getting dark, but there were fiery red clouds on the horizon. An Liman became nervous after seeing it.

He asked the camel team to stop, and he came to the sand dune, knelt directly on the ground, and worshiped Qiancheng.

Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi saw An Liman's unusual movements and came to him and asked: "Old man, is the weather going to change? As the saying goes, the morning glow does not go out, but the sunset travels thousands of miles. The burning clouds in the morning are not What a good sign?"

"Yes, the clouds in the sky are bleeding, and God is probably angry. This desert is roaring again, and the wind is picking up, very strong."

Zhao Shucheng knew that this was the first difficulty they needed to face, and he didn't bother to ask anything. He went back to the team and asked everyone to get on the camels quickly, and then prepared to transfer positions.

Not long after everyone left, suddenly the roar of the wind came from the distance, and then they saw the sand dunes in the distance rolling towards them, and the sky became gray.

Everyone rode camels and followed An Liman to escape desperately. They no longer felt as carefree as before. Each one of them was exhausted one after another and could only barely hold on to the saddle on the camel.

Seeing that the archaeological team behind him couldn't hold on, Hu Bayi had no choice but to ask An Liman to stop first and take a rest before continuing on his way.

It was when everyone was resting that they realized how embarrassed they were when they fled all the way. Hao Aiguo lost his eyes and almost became blind. Fortunately, other members of the archaeological team brought spare glasses, which allowed him to see again.

It's a pity that everyone didn't have much time to rest. The wind and sand would not give them a chance to breathe. Facing the wind and sand that caught up again, everyone could only follow An Liman and escape again.

It's a pity that the rest just now was not enough for everyone, especially Professor Chen. After all, he was so old and hadn't had much exercise, so he soon lost his strength and couldn't hold on to the saddle on the camel. He jumped directly from the camel. drop down.

When Zhao Shucheng inadvertently turned around and saw this scene, he could only quickly turn the camel around, reach Professor Chen's side, bend over and grab Professor Chen, drive the camel to catch up with the previous team, and then throw Professor Chen's into the one he was riding before. On the camel.

Hu Bayi actually also discovered that Professor Chen had fallen behind, and was about to discuss with An Liman to stop and go look for it himself, but saw Zhao Shucheng and Professor Chen catching up from behind.

An Liman saw that Zhao Shucheng had caught up, and quickly led everyone to continue running for their lives. Unfortunately, everyone's speed was still a bit slow, and it was too late to reach the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, the previously reserved location.

An Liman's camels also stopped and squatted down one by one, as if they were tired.

Zhao Shucheng was a little surprised when he saw it and asked: "Uncle An Liman, why did you stop the camel? Let's keep running!"

"It can't run anymore. The camel is frightened. It knows the danger of the black sandstorm. It's useless to run away. It might as well wait here to die."

Hu Bayi also heard it and said anxiously: "Old man, you said there is a living map of the desert. You must have a way."

'There is no way, just wait to die! '

"You have to find a way even if you have no other choice!"

Zhao Shucheng, however, did not believe that this would really be his burial place. He wore goggles and looked around to see if there was any place where he could hide.

Sure enough, there is a ruins not far away. Although I don't know if it can withstand this black sandstorm, it is better than everyone in this open place, just relying on camels for cover.

"An Liman, Hu Bayi, not far away is the ruins of an ancient city. It's better for us to go there than here."

An Liman looked at the ruins not far away, and then at the black sandstorm roaring behind him. He also knew that time waits for no one, so he drove his camel and took everyone to take refuge inside the ruins.

When they got to the ruins, they saw clearly that this was actually a mountain range of wind-eroded rocks. An Liman asked the camels to lie down to avoid the wind and sand, while Hu Bayi and others, led by Zhao Shucheng, went to the ruins to avoid the black sandstorm.

I don’t know if this ruins is due to the erosion of time, or if it was destroyed by others. There is an opening at the top, which is just right for the archaeological team to enter.

After entering, it looks like a narrow cave with a lot of sand poured into it. Fortunately, the space is not too small. The archaeological team can rest here and avoid the black sand storm. As the team leader, Hu Bayi counted the number of people and found that everyone was there. He breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Zhao Shucheng, however, wore windproof goggles and looked at the black sandstorm not far away from the gap in the house. He always felt that this black sandstorm happened too coincidental.

Due to the strong wind and sand, Shirley Yang took off her glasses after entering the house, but she didn't expect that the dust in the house fell into her eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable for a while.

Ye Yixin, who is also a girl, was originally asked to help Yang Xueli solve the problem, but she had no experience. In the end, Hu Bayi took a look and asked Ye Yixin to clean her with water.

When An Liman said that the black sandstorm had just begun and he didn't know when it would end, Hu Bayi knew that everyone might need to rest here for a while.

"Fat man, you and Sa Di Peng go outside and bring in food, water and sleeping bags. We may need to stay here for one night. We all have to take turns on duty at night. If we can't keep an eye on the gaps around the house, sand will leak out. We’re buried inside, it’s no different than outside.”

Hu Bayi looked at Zhao Shucheng and said, "Master Zhao, go outside with me to find some wood. We can find it as soon as possible while the wind is not strong. Otherwise, it will be too cold in the desert at night. , It can’t be done without a fire to keep warm.”

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "That's no problem. I just saw the remains of desert plants around me. It's still too late to pick them up now."

After saying that, the few people started to take action. Soon Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi picked up a lot of Haloxylon ammodendron and red willow wood from around the ruins, and transported them back to the house again and again.

Everyone trimmed the floor in the house and sat in front of the fire chatting.

Shirley Yang looked at An Liman who said nothing and said, "Uncle An Liman, I just saw animal footprints in the corner of the wall. They were wolf footprints."

Fatty Wang also said, "I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me. I just saw six or seven yellow sheep by the wall over there."

"This is what God prepared for the animals in the desert. You only see gazelles now, but there might be wolves and leopards hiding here. There is a sandstorm in the sky right now, and the animals on the ground are scared. Now the wolves and sheep are hiding in a house. When the sandstorm stops, the wolves will show their teeth, and the gazelles will show their horns."

After hearing An Liman's words, everyone became a little worried.

"So after the sandstorm passes, the wolf and leopard will be able to spot us?"

"Yes, even if we can escape the storm, we can't escape this incident." Hu Bayi said.

"Xiao Hu, Sa Di Peng is timid, so don't scare him." Hao Aiguo said at the side.

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's not a scare, this is one of the dangers you may encounter in the desert."

"As the saying goes, fighting against the sky and the earth is endless fun."

Ye Yixin said: "This sentence didn't mean anything to me before, but now that I think about it, it really makes sense."

Hao Aiguo looked at Ye Yixin and asked curiously: "Xiaoye, what are you holding in your hand?"

After hearing this, Ye Yixin looked at the branch she accidentally picked up and played with in a strange way. She suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly threw it away.

It turned out that what Ye Yixin was holding was not a branch at all, but a bone, and it looked very much like a human rib.

Ye Yixin was frightened by this, and the people in the archaeological team were a little strange, so they couldn't help but start exploring the house.

Soon everyone discovered that there were numerous bones buried under the sand in this house, both human and animal.

Others didn't think it was anything, but Zhao Shucheng understood that this was one of the nests of desert army ants. It's just that there is still a black sandstorm, so the desert army ants are hiding underground and cannot come out. But after the black sandstorm stops, what everyone has to do is run for their lives.

"Professor Hao, these bones are a little strange."

"What's weird? Aren't all bones like this?"

Hu Bayi said: "It's the bones that are a bit strange. The bones and flesh of the dead in the desert will not rot. They usually become mummies after being naturally dried."

Yang Xueli then said: "But there is no skin or flesh on this bone." '

An Liman said: "Maybe let the wolf eat them all." '

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "Uncle An Liman, do you think a wolf in the desert will let go of the bones and only eat meat? Besides, these bones are shaved so cleanly, I don't think wolves have such ability."

"Xiao Zhao, what do you think?" Professor Chen and the others looked at Zhao Shucheng curiously when they heard what Zhao Shucheng said.

Zhao Shucheng said: "Although large carnivores eat meat, they do not eat it so cleanly. Only small carnivores can do this. And if you look at the marks on it, there are only tiny scratches, as if they were shaved off bit by bit. How do you think an animal so small can still shave off its flesh?”

"Brother Zhao, stop being so secretive and tell us quickly."

"Ants, and very fierce ants." Zhao Shucheng said and looked at his feet. He didn't expect that he was actually on top of the desert army ants. He just didn't know if he could face so many desert army ants at the same time.

Although Hu Bayi didn't know if Zhao Shucheng's guess was correct, he knew that this place might not be as safe as imagined.

"Although what Zhao Shucheng said is not necessarily correct, it is indeed unsafe here. This person may have been hiding from the sandstorm here like us, but he was attacked by an animal and was unable to leave. We must take turns on duty and report any situation in time. Everyone. If the storm passes, we will evacuate here immediately."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, not wanting to stay any longer in this place where dangerous animals such as wolves and leopards might exist.

Fatty Wang thought about the benefits he gained from burying the bodies of two children last time, so he took Hu Bayi and wanted to rebury the bones here. While the two men were digging, they suddenly found something unusual. (End of chapter)
