Chapter 202

"You seem to have forgotten that this person just saved my dad yesterday. It's very heartless for you to say this." Yuan Yunke smiled on his face, but his heart was full of disdain.

Well, Li Sangqing and Li Sangqing are quite a match. They are a natural pair, and they should not be separated even if they are killed.

Ming Yan blushed, "Don't take what the Li family does seriously, who knows what their plans are."

"What you're talking about is—" Yuan Yunke stopped talking after finishing speaking, and drove the camel forward.

At the same time, Li Yanzhi couldn't help giggling, imitating Yuan Yunke's tone, "You're talking about——"

Mingyan's face turned from red to black, and she looked at the two women in front of her with gloomy eyes, and an uncontrollable thought came to her—to make them disappear completely.

Over the years, she asked herself to serve the Li family wholeheartedly, but none of them looked down on her, from the beginning to the end, they were all white-eyed wolves without conscience.

Just wait, when you know the cruel truth, can you still laugh? Thinking of that scene, she couldn't help feeling faintly excited from the bottom of her heart.

She recovered her complexion, and with a smile on her face, she drove the camel to keep pace with them.

Soon she stopped laughing because the weather was getting hotter and hotter.The sky had been filled with sand and strong winds for the past two days, but today there was no wind at all. The air seemed to be still. As the temperature increased, heat waves began to rise, and everyone looked tired and depressed.

The monotonous colors and uncomfortable feeling give you the feeling that you will never get out.

A sense of desperate anxiety scorched everyone's nerves.

"What's going on, how can this solar term be so hot." Li Zhaoxiang took off his hat and fanned it, only to feel that it was getting hotter.

Liu Qiang looked nervous, "This solar term shouldn't be so hot, maybe it's because of the storm."

It is not a superstition to choose this day every year to go into the desert, because it is neither hot nor cold, and the climate is just right.But it was a desert and it was getting hot suddenly, Liu Qiang felt a little unlucky.

"I'm afraid it will be hotter at noon, and people can't stand it. Let's find a place to camp and rest at noon, and breathe in the sand in the sand to cool down, otherwise people will get sick."

He is the most experienced guide inside, so no one objected to what he said.So everyone followed him westward into the house and found a suitable place to camp.

First built the anti-sand wall, and the two teams set up tents below, dug the sand and lay in it to feel the cool air on the ground.Wait until the sun is no longer scorching before starting again.

The afternoon sun was not strong, but it was still steaming. Everyone was as listless as wilting eggplants.Li Sangqing's energy was surprisingly good, but he still urged him to rest for too long.

Yuan Yunke looked at Li Sangqing, who was like an old donkey, and felt even more puzzled.

When the sun sets on the earth line, the temperature drops suddenly, from the tropics to the northeast, it is so sour.Some strong men were sick, and Li Zhenzhen also had some coughs.

Yuan Yunke gave her medicine and now she fell asleep.

You're really sick, you think you're going to live a long time, you damn old man.

The dead old man is not sick, but he feels puzzled by people who are sick. Dai Wei explained: "With this abnormal weather, the better you are, the more likely you are to get sick. On the contrary, people like me are less likely to get sick."

Li Zhaoxiang raised his eyes and glanced at him, glanced at him lightly, Dai Wei pushed down his glasses, and said: "Although you say that, you still need to pay more attention, sir, you are not in good health, if you are sick, it will be considered as me in this environment There is no guarantee that I will be able to save you."

"Xiao Dai, you are too modest. We all know what your medical skills are. If you are too humble, you are hypocritical." Li Zhaoxiang said with a smile on his face, as if he was joking.

Dai Wei waved his hand, "The human body is too complicated. Even Western medicine is just in its infancy. I dare not be humble."

"Okay, there is nothing wrong with what Daiwei said. The doctor can't cure much." Li Sangqing said impatiently, "Daiwei, go and see the sick person. If it doesn't work, send someone back. Fortunately, we This time we brought enough people, it doesn’t matter if there are a few less.”

"Yes, sir, I'll go and see."

When Daiwei walked out of the tent, Li Zhaoxiang sneered, and the contempt in his eyes no longer concealed, "Dad, you really treat him as a person, an inferior person with mud legs, it's not because of your generosity that you can't even eat, how can you deserve to join us?" Sit together."

"Okay, why are you so long-winded now."

Li Zhaoxiang snorted coldly, got up and walked out of the tent.

The curtain fell down and made a loud noise, Li Sangqing was in a daze as he looked at the shaking curtain.

If only Zhaotong was still there...

Suddenly the curtain moved again, and a slender figure flashed in, "Dad, you haven't eaten yet, I made mutton soup, you can try it."

Wang Sidi put the lunch box on the small table in front of him, and put the clean chopsticks in his hands, "Dad, eat."

Li Sangqing didn't move his chopsticks, but put them on the lunch box, and said kindly: "Sit down, Sidi."

"Hey."

Wang Sidi responded and sat across from him, "Dad, what's the matter?"

"How did you think about what I told you earlier?" Li Zhaoxiang asked.

Wang Sidi showed a lonely look, "Dad, I don't want any money. If I don't have Zhaotong, what's the use of it? If I don't have a child, who will I spend it on? Besides feeding my mother's family who can't get enough to feed, what's the use of it?"

Her eyes were red, and she bowed her head in tears.

"And..." she raised her head, "and Zhaotong has not found the body yet, why did he die? I don't accept it. People say that many people have seen relatives they couldn't find in the desert. I want to come here this time. See if you can see Zhaotong. I don't believe he is so cruel, willing to leave me alone."

After losing children and husbands one after another, it is understandable that people become abnormal.

Li Sangqing's cloudy eyes flashed a sympathetic light, "It's up to you, but you have to pay attention to safety, I have already lost my son and granddaughter, and I can't lose you, a good daughter-in-law."

"You should also pay attention to your safety, especially your body. If Zhaotong really can't come back, I will do my filial piety for you on Zhaotong's behalf and wait for you to return to the west."

Why are these words so unpleasant? They are obviously good words.

Li Sangqing controlled his facial expression and forced a smile, "Go ahead, you are still busy outside." Wang Sidi suddenly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the corners of his mouth, "Dad, you are drooling, are you going to bed?" Fire?"

"It's okay..." Li Sangqing was a little embarrassed, she had indeed been drooling a lot recently, and Dai Wei said it was the aftereffect of the medicine.If he doesn't take it, he won't have excess body fluid, but if he stops the medicine, he won't be able to enter the desert.

"Oh, it's good that you're fine. I'm relieved to have Daiwei here. Then I'm going, and you should eat the meal while it's hot. The smell is too strong when it's cold." "Go quickly."

Dai Wei has already seen it. Those who are sick are either suffering from wind-cold or dehydration. They really have to go back to the hospital in the city for treatment to save their lives.

There was no choice but to send someone to transport the person back, and there was a danger of 1 minute of staying there any longer.

There was also a sick person on Qin Daoqing's side, Fenghan, and he also sent someone to send him away.

In fact, it is two days away from Luobei City. I don't know if people can survive it.To come to the desert to earn this money is to buy your life.

Qin Daoqing watched the team go away, feeling desolate in his heart.

"They'll be fine."

Jiang Qingyu waved a folding fan, "It's okay, they are in good health and can hold on. We have left a medical team in the town, and they will get the best treatment when they leave the desert. Don't worry."

"I hope, otherwise I feel bad."

His shoulders sank, and Jiang Qingyu put his arm up, "You are just too kind, you will face some ruthless characters in the future, and you can't be kind. Otherwise, your little lover will not be able to keep it."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Daoqing walked back shyly, lest he be seen blushing on his face.

"It's not my little lover, why are you blushing, you're so hypocritical." Jiang Qingyu chased after him and chattered in his ear, blowing away the haze in Qin Daoqing's heart.

The next day the sun was still very good, which was scary.

According to the route, if everything goes well, you will be able to see Moon City in the evening, which is the last foothold in Lop Nur, stay there for one night, and then you can enter Lop Nur in the afternoon of the next day.

"What is the origin of Moon City? I heard that Moon City has another origin?" Yuan Yunke asked.

Li Yanzhi quickly answered, "I know this. It is said that a princess was sent to a certain city in the Western Regions for a marriage, and suddenly the princess became pregnant near Moon City. It is impossible to go down and get married, unless the princess wants to die. But it will not work if you go back, the princess The pregnancy was revealed, and everyone who accompanied her was going to die. Later, the princess said that this was a child given by God, without a father. She led the guards and maids to build Moon City, and established a country. This country was prosperous in the hands of the princess's grandson The peak was later destroyed by the war.”

"So there is such a story, it's interesting." Yuan Yunke said with narrowed eyes.

"There are many stories in this desert, and there are even more stories in Lop Nur." Li Yanzhi likes this kind of mysterious story the most, and it is very exciting to talk about it.

"Many people call Lop Nur the 'Sea of ​​Death'. Countless people have mysteriously disappeared in this sand sea from ancient times to the present. How many lonely ghosts wander here, and dead bones are everywhere. It used to be a must for the Silk Road. The road to scriptures is so prosperous that people today dare not imagine. When the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty traveled westward to learn scriptures and passed through Dunhuang, he wrote in "Da Tang Western Regions" that "there are many evil spirits in the sand river. Those who..." Although what I said was a bit exaggerated, some people have seen many people die of thirst not far from the spring, and there are people who often disappear here, and their strange corpses are found after a long time. Unbelievable things like this happen from time to time. That's why it's called the 'Sea of ​​Death', also known as the 'Sea of ​​Devils Wandering'."

Wow, it turned out to be here.

Yuan Yunke vaguely remembers seeing a movie about this place when he was a child, but he can’t remember what it was about, only remembering the yellow sand all over the sky and the strangely appearing mummy.

Ming Yan also let out a long sigh and said: "The more terrifying people say about this place, the more people want to come and find out. As a result, more people die. Without diamonds, you can't do porcelain work, otherwise it's useless to die." She turned her head. Glancing at the handsome man behind, "Actually, why should he go find someone in person? After waiting for decades, maybe the corpse will come out of nowhere. Why bother?"

Yuan Yunke chuckled, "If my dad disappeared here in the desert, wouldn't you look for him?" She ignored Mingyan's murderous look, "Anyway, I am a filial daughter, and I am looking for him."

"I'm looking for it too. I'm also a filial granddaughter." Li Yanzhi gave Mingyan a contemptuous look, "Zhenzhen, are you looking for your grandpa?"

"Find!"

Li Yanzhi touched her Li Zhenzhen's pigtails angrily, "Zhenzhen is also filial, unlike some people."

Mingyan was beaten up by the three of them, and it took her a long time to get over her emotions.

After a day of hard trekking, when the sun was setting, Na finally saw the city reflecting the blue light in a depression.

Li Sangqing stretched his neck, his eyes showed excitement, "That's the reverse light of the blue glazed tiles. People in Moon City like blue. The color of the imperial palace has faded after many years, but the glazed tiles are still there."

Seeing the target building, the big guy got excited again.

Liu Qiang encouraged the army: "Brothers are about to go to Moon City. There will be a lot of clean water and shelter from the wind and rain. Everyone can sleep well!"

Everyone licked their chapped lips, and when they heard the word "water source", they all felt as if they could drink clear water right away, and they couldn't wait to run down.

It's a pity that Wangshan ran dead horses, looked at the small town in front of him, walked for a full hour, and when the sun fell below the horizon, he finally arrived at the ancient city full of mystery.

The city gate is gone, the moat has dried up, and the traces on the city wall have witnessed the wars and natural erosion it has experienced.

From a distance, it looks like a small city, but when you are on the scene, you realize that its magnificence is not the same as that of the nearby ancient cities. This city does not have a strong Western flavor, but it has a somewhat ancient Han style.

Yuan Yunke felt a little nonsense when he heard the legend of the princess today, but now seeing the ancient Chinese style of this city, he believed the truth of the story a little bit.

The distribution in the city is more like Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, square and square, but the buildings inside are still in the style of the Western Regions, which may be because of the Romantic customs.

This road has gone through a lot of ancient city ruins, only this moon city is really relatively well preserved, like a normal ancient street.She wouldn't feel intimidated if someone came out of the blue to say hello.

Liu Qiang is right, you can indeed find a safe place to have a good sleep here.

Li Sangqing meant to live in the old place, a folk house on the main street.Every year, the Li family cleans it very clean. Now there is only a layer of dust when you go in, and you can live in it directly after cleaning. There are pots, pans and other daily utensils in it. After tidying up, it is no different from your own home.

But Qin Daoqing's team did not have such a good thing. Every time Qin Daoqing went to the desert, he went directly to Lop Nur and rested in the earthen house in Lop Nur, never here.

And there are always incidents of people disappearing inexplicably, so in order not to cause complications, they never stay here overnight.But now the situation...
