I dig ancient tombs for the country

Chapter 87: Ili River Culture

Are these giant pillars mutated?I remember reading in a book that some cacti invaded the body of non-green toxins, resulting in mutations, which are called spotted brocade mutations.

Seeing Xiao Wang lying unconscious on the ground, everyone was very anxious, but no one knew how to cure the poison.

Uncle Amur proposed to put Xiao Wang on the back of the camel first, and lead him to find the Yili River quickly, trying to figure out a way while walking.

Walking at night has both advantages and disadvantages. After all, visibility is limited, and Xiao Wang was poisoned, so we adjusted the plan, still walking during the day and resting at night.

After walking for several days, it was still a vast desert, and there was no shadow of the Yili River at all. At this time, I began to wonder whether Uncle Amur had really been to the Yili River.

Uncle Amur promised that we will reach the Yili River Basin after another day.All of us were skeptical, so we followed the camel and continued to move forward.

During the day, the desert was still too hot to breathe, and our water and food became less and less day by day. If we couldn’t find the Yili River, the 11 of us would be in trouble again.

Fortunately, God has eyes, our only four remaining camels took us along an inconspicuous sand dune. As we walked, our eyes lit up. We saw a wide riverbed that looked like a river, although there was no water. , but we all rekindled hope that this dry riverbed might be the Yili River.

Professor Sun also excitedly pointed to the riverbed and said, "The Ili River Basin in Xinjiang is shaped like a triangle opening to the west. If you look carefully, the riverbed is not exactly a triangle."

We all looked at it carefully, and it was true.So everyone immediately became active, talking and talking, and the mood was quite high.

I have been silent for many days, and today I finally opened the conversation. Professor Sun told everyone excitedly: "The Yili River Basin was a gathering place for nomads in ancient times. In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a nomadic Wusun tribe in the Western Regions, that is, Located in the southeast of Baldash Lake, Wusun Kingdom was established in the Ili River Basin. The leader of the country is Lie Jiaomi. Lie Jiaomi is a legendary figure. This time we are here to find the relics of Wusun Kingdom. I hope everyone will do their best , complete this mission."

Everyone applauded "crackling", hoping that Professor Sun would talk more about Wusun Kingdom.

Professor Sun talked about the story of Lie Jiaomi while walking: "It is said that when Lie Jiaomi's father, Kunmo Nandoumi, was killed by the Yuezhi Kingdom, Lie Jiaomi was still in his infancy, and his subordinates were fleeing in panic. Lie Jiaomi abandoned the wilderness. The little Lie Jiaomi was very cute, and was seen by a predatory crow, and the crow took Lie Jiaomi away.

That crow looked for meat to feed Zhe Jiaomi every day, and even called a she-wolf to suckle for him.Then one day, Mao Dun Shanyu, the Hun who was being hunted, saw it. He felt very strange, why did the crow and the wolf come to take care of this child?Is this child born from the gods?So he decided to adopt Lie Jiaomi and give him the best education.

Under Mao Dun Shanyu's upbringing, Lie Jiaomi became outstanding, brave and good at fighting.When he grew up, he volunteered to attack the Yuezhi Kingdom.With the help of the Xiongnu Chanyu, Lie Jiaomi drove away the Yuezhi stationed in the Yili River Basin.

From about the third year to the fourth year of Houyuan of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, Lie Jiaomi led the old tribe of Wusun to move westward to Yili River and established Wusun State. "

We were all attracted by the stories Professor Sun told, and we walked up the river bed unconsciously.

"Look, the river, the real Ili River." Yunxia excitedly pointed to the front.We all raised our heads and looked forward together. In the distance, a big winding river was quietly flowing towards the distance.Yili River, we have finally come to you, after a long absence.

Everyone cheered in unison and rushed over, water, we need water so much, we walked in the desert for more than ten days, everyone was so thirsty that they almost forgot what water is like.

We jumped into the water and made a splash. We splashed water on each other and had a water fight. We haven't been this crazy for many years.Professor Sun also showed a rare smile. He yelled at us while discussing with Uncle Amur about finding the ruins.

When we are crazy enough, we will walk along the north bank of Yili River.Professor Sun pointed to the Yili River and asked us: "Does anyone know why the Yili River is the only river in China that flows from east to west?"

We all looked at each other and shook our heads, we really don't know much about this river.

Professor Sun told us: "The Tarim Basin in Xinjiang is surrounded by mountains and is itself a desert, while the Kunlun Mountains to the east of the Tarim Basin are hot in summer, and the snow on the mountains melts to form a large amount of liquid water, which flows from east to west due to the terrain. It enters the arid and rainless Tarim Basin, and then forms the Ili River flowing from east to west.

The water and grass on both sides of the river bank are fertile, the scenery is beautiful, and the mineral resources are rich. There are three mountain ranges that gradually shrink from west to east.The Kashgar River, the Gongnais River and the Tekes River are the three major tributaries of the Yili River. "Professor Sun is eloquent and eloquent. Fortunately, he is a professor, and he knows a lot.

In the evening, we set up our tents on the bank of the river.Hongmao and I went down the river and caught several big fish.Several men in the team were in charge of slaughtering, while Yunxia and the short-haired girl Qinglian were in charge of cleaning.We lit a bonfire and grilled the fish over the fire.

After a while, the aroma of grilled fish wafted around, making everyone salivate.We formed a circle, ate fish, drank wine, and talked about life. The coziness and joy could not tell that we were a group of people who had just come out of the desert after going through hardships.

The taste of the fish here is different from the fish you usually eat. The fish meat is not only delicious, but also has a smooth and firm taste.

The only regret is the comatose Xiao Wang. If we were not worried about his safety, we all really want to hold a bonfire party and have a good time.

While the archaeological team was working in the tent, Hongmao and I strolled along the shore.Looking at the azure blue river, we both felt surprisingly good.

Tired from walking, the two of us sat on the grass, the red hair leaning against me, and I stroked his curly hair.

Looking at the starry night sky, the two of us felt like we had walked into a fairyland on earth, so beautiful that we wanted to cry.

"Brother Tao, do you think the relics of Wusun Kingdom are easy to find?" Hong Mao blinked his beautiful peach eyes.

My heart was agitated, the red-haired eyes are simply too charming, especially the long eyelashes, like two rows of thick brushes.

"Brother Tao, why are you so obsessed with thinking?" Hongmao pushed me suspiciously.

I smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm dreaming, a dream where there are only you and me."

The red hair blushed all of a sudden, and he angrily scolded me in a low voice: "You still have such thoughts, I'm so worried. If we can't find the relics, how can we both ask Master Cai?"

I flicked my red-haired finger: "What are you thinking about so much, let's take it day by day, let's go, we will sleep in the same bed tonight, let's see how brother cleans you up tonight."

"You..." Hongmao was so angry that he pointed at me and was speechless for a long time.
