Sacrifice of Grave Robbers

The few people finally agreed, and Aji took the three to find the Kongque River, and then went to Lop Nur along the ancient river.After arriving in the Lop Nur area, Chen Yu would give him the map in his hand to find the tomb with the crownless bird.

Lop Nur is located in the middle of the Tarim Basin. Historically, Lop Nur was a beautiful and huge lake formed by the Tarim River, the Kongque River, the Cheerchen River and the Milan River.Thousands of years ago, Lop Nur was once a fairyland on earth surrounded by green forests, herds of cattle and horses, flowers everywhere, and a desert oasis, like a green gem on a golden sand table.However, due to the continuous destruction of the surrounding ecological environment, the water in the lake gradually decreased, and finally it was swallowed up by the desert and dried up into a huge ear.This metaphor is because NASA observed photos taken from space and found that China’s Lop Nur resembles a human ear, which surprised American scientists for a long time, and some people are still studying the reasons for its formation.

There is also a saying that the huge Lop Nur Lake is a "wandering lake" and has drifted to other places, and it is difficult for people to find its trace.

Lop Nur is so brilliant and mysterious. However, the evaluation of it in reality is actually more unfortunate news for Chen Yu and the others: the dry Lop Nur is called China's sea of ​​death, life forbidden zone, death or lost in the desert There are countless explorers.

To the surprise of the four people, Aji was small and his personality was so twisted that he didn't even bother to talk, but he was very confident in bringing these people out of Lop Nur.It is said that as long as the three of them don't drag him back, there should be no problem in surviving.In the next few days, Aji successfully led them to escape several large-scale sandstorms, and several people knew that the children's self-confidence was not without reason.

In the first two days, we could still see the strange-shaped, wanton-growing Populus euphratica forest and clusters of dwarf vegetation on the river bed from a long distance away.Gradually, there is only yellow sand all over the sky, and sparse trees, and there is not even a bird in the sky.

Occasionally looking up, there is only the sun the size of an egg yolk pie in the hemispherical sky, shrouding all directions with radiance.The floating clouds have been evaporated without a trace by its enthusiasm.

It is now the end of August, the sun can scorch people to death during the day, and the temperature is even more frighteningly high. The surface temperature at noon can reach [-] degrees Celsius.In order to save energy, the air conditioner was not turned on in the Hummer, and Chen Yu and Ma Wenqing were dying of heat.The two of them had to change shifts to drive. Every time Chen Yu climbed out of the driver's seat soaked through his clothes, he sat next to Feng Han and kept drinking water in small sips.

Ever since Feng Han entered the desert, he often leaned against the back seat and dozed off. Chen Yu secretly measured it with his hands, and Feng Han still felt cool!Even so, Chen Yu was worried that the zongzi would be good or bad in the hot climate, and the team would lack a strong labor force, so he would give him a water bottle from time to time to let Feng Han replenish water.At the same time, he took the opportunity to lean over to Feng Han, trying to feel comfortable next to the low-temperature rice dumplings.

Regarding Chen Yu's small movements, Feng Han only glanced to the side, and then continued to look at the yellow sand all over the sky outside.

On the third day in the desert, at noon in the sun, Aji and his camel stopped first.Then a few people got together for lunch, because they thought it was troublesome, they just boiled water, soaked compressed vegetables, and each ate some compressed biscuits.Aji raised his head and drank a few sips of water, and suddenly said: "I guess we can't stop this afternoon, we have to hurry up, the wind will blow up at night, before that we have to find a place to avoid the wind and sand."

When Ma Wenqing heard the wind was blowing again, he muttered, "Damn, it hasn't stopped in the past three days."

Aji gave Ma Wenqing a blank look, and turned to look into the distance, "I can't bear such a little wind? The real black storm is the devil's messenger. There will be no living things in the places it passes by. You haven't seen it yet. Okay." It is not common in Heistorm, and it is mostly in spring, otherwise, even I would not dare to enter the desert."

Chen Yu wiped off his sweat and sat on the driving seat again, while Aji wrapped his whole body tightly and got on the camel.After walking for a short time, in such a hot and high-temperature desert, God unexpectedly gave them a surprise. They encountered a small lake with a radius of several miles. Some vegetation can also be seen.

The camel suddenly ran towards the lake uncontrollably. Aji was almost thrown into the water. He jumped off with one hand supporting the hump. Chen Yu felt hot when he saw him rolling on the sand.On the sandy ground in the afternoon, the temperature can cook sweet potatoes, so no matter how hot the weather is, they all wear high cowhide boots.

Chen Yu was a little surprised to see the water in the lake, and it happened to be here to replenish the water source, although they still have a lot of water with them now.

After getting out of the car, Chen Yu discovered that apart from them, there were also a group of animals staring at the lake.And these animals are definitely not cute, and some of them are still fighting.

Several sand wolves and a sand leopard are facing each other. The sand leopard is skinny, but still staring at the few sand wolves with sharp eyes. When it sees the movement here, it turns around and looks, maybe worried about encountering new enemies , wanting to leave, took a step back a little.

However, the sand wolf is cunning and smart, and it has been eyeing the leopard for a long time. Seeing that it was getting timid, the sand wolf on the side caught the opportunity and immediately jumped at it.When the leopard turned around, the other ones also rushed up in coordination.So, in front of the eyes of the four, a life-and-death battle was completed in an instant, and the sand leopard finally fell to the ground and was dragged away by the sand wolf.

In the end, the sand wolf looked at Chen Yu's direction and did not move, as if hesitating whether to bring some rations. Chen Yu quickly put the safety on the pistol in his hand.Smelling danger, the wolf immediately took a step back cautiously, looked twice reluctantly, and finally ran away after the figures of two wolves away.

Chen Yu was surprised to find that the wolf's last attention was in the grass, could it be——he bent down, and immediately found a cat-like animal with fine fluff and spotted spots squatting at his feet. side.Seeing Chen Yu looking at it, he rolled to the side twice.Blinking his small dark eyes, he flinched and let out a low whine.

Chen Yu couldn't raise his gun anymore, so he turned around and left, suddenly feeling a weight on his leg.He lowered his head, only to see two fluffy young front paws trying to hug his boots. The little animal stared into Chen Yu's eyes tremblingly, and whined aggrievedly.

When Chen Yu returned to the car with the little guy in his hand, Ma Wenqing's eyes lit up, swallowed, and murmured: "Xiao Chen...Xiao Bai, that's great! I know my brother wants to eat meat for a long time, Aww——" Because he was worried that Aji would know Chen Yu's name and would not accompany them into the desert, Ma Wenqing changed Chen Yu's name to Chen Bai on his own initiative, which made Chen Yu's boss unhappy.

Chen Yu kicked away Ma Wenqing, who was rushing towards him, and pointed to the lake, "Ma Wenqing, get down immediately to fill the water."

Ma Wenqing complained, but got out of the car with the tools.Chen Yu threw the little thing into the back seat and was about to get out of the car to help.As a result, after the little leopard managed to stand still, he raised his eyes to see Feng Han, and immediately his whole body exploded. He quickly turned around and ran to Chen Yu's body, and firmly hung his fleshy body on Chen Yu's clothes with his poor little claws. .

Chen Yu looked at Feng Han dumbfounded, this guy can really be used as a talisman, ghosts and gods can't get close, even beasts can feel the weird aura on him.Feng Han turned his head to look at the little thing on Chen Yu's body, and snorted coldly, the little thing immediately trembled into a ball visible to the naked eye.

There was no other way, Chen Yu had no choice but to throw the little leopard on his shoulder, and walked towards the lake with the water bottle.

The camels drank enough water and replenished enough water, but the few people discovered another problem that had been overlooked. They needed to bypass the lake if they were going forward, and they could only let the Hummer climb up the sand dunes with steep slopes on the left and right.

Ma Wenqing stepped forward and turned around, then came back and said, "Try it, I think it's about the same, the Hummer should be passable. I saw that in the Dakar Rally, they drove directly up like this, and I will try it too."

Chen Yu pursed the corners of his mouth, did not speak, just hugged the little leopard and got out of the car silently.Feng Han also opened the door on the other side, and jumped down neatly.

The Hummer climbed up the sand dunes tenaciously, Chen Yu squinted his eyes with a smile, this car is not bad.Looking at the hummer that successfully crossed the dunes, Ma Wenqing's wretched image seemed a little taller.

The little leopard was so sun-drenched that he groaned at Chen Yu, not sure if he was thirsty or hungry, or if he wanted to pee.Chen Yu and the little guy stared at each other. After a while, the little leopard couldn't help turning his head and grabbed Chen Yu's holding hand in his mouth, and bit his sharp teeth.

Feng Han next to him stopped immediately, reached out to pick up the hair on the back of the little leopard's neck, and raised his hand, which seemed to mean that he wanted to throw it out.Chen Yu stared at him blankly at first, and then realized Feng Han's behavior, and immediately prepared to snatch the little leopard who was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing.

He said in his mouth, "Hey, don't—" As a result, when Chen Yu was running, his ankle sprained into the sand, and he stumbled and rolled directly down the sand dune.

As the saying goes, it's true: one misstep will lead to eternal hatred!

Damn, Chen Yu cursed in grief and indignation, covered his head and face with a long robe, and was still driven mad by the heat.

What he didn't see was that when the Hummer, which had been smoothly flipping over the sand dunes, immediately drove to the flat ground, the body tilted and stopped moving.

Chen Yu bumped into the car directly, and then put his butt up, head on the ground, mouth full of yellow sand, staring at the man on the sand slope who was still carrying the little leopard, full of hatred!

The little leopard began to struggle desperately, but it was finally able to break free, rolling down the sand dune in the same posture as Chen Yu.Then he struggled to climb onto Chen Yu's chest, opened a pair of wet eyes, flicked his tail, and grinned, was it a smile? !

Chen Yu closed her eyes, the little leopard would never be able to break Feng Han's hand, it seemed that Feng Han had let the water go.

Enduring dizziness, Chen Yu climbed up from the hot sand dune, just as Ma Wenqing opened the door and jumped out of the car in embarrassment.

The result of Ma Wenqing's experiment was that the Hummer got stuck in the sand dune. Ma Wenqing scolded: "Grandma, how could this happen, the Hummer will definitely not be able to get over a sand dune of this level!"

Chen Yu turned around and kept dropping sand, looked at Ma Wenqing, and said calmly: "It's true that the Hummer can't, but it depends on who drives it."

Ma Wenqing immediately became angry from embarrassment, and picked up Chen Yu's collar, "Are you saying that the master's skills are not good?!"

When the two quarreled until their faces were blushing and their necks were thick, Aji unloaded the things on the camel and let the camel tow the cart.

But the fine sand seemed to cling to the tires tightly, and the Hummer didn't budge.

When Chen Yu and Ma Wenqing saw each other, one went up to start the car forcibly, and the other came to help tow the car.However, with the roar of the Hummer, the wheels sank deeper and deeper, and finally, it finally reached the point where it could not get out completely.

The three of them, the five-humped camel was sweating profusely, and when they finally gave up, Feng Han walked past the three of them very calmly, bent slightly, looked at how easily he lifted the car with one hand, and dragged it to a flat place.

Chen Yu and Ma Wenqing sat on the ground with their mouths wide open, and looked up at a 45-degree angle. The sun was shining in the sky, and Feng Han was shining golden like a god at this time.The two people with their mouths wide open on the ground were set off like two toads, and they made two "croaks" to express their inner surprise and praise.

Aji gritted his teeth tightly, looked at Feng Han with a complicated expression, then turned around and packed his things in silence.

Feng Han still looked calm, but only when he lifted Chen Yu who was on the ground to lean on him, did Chen Yu realize that Feng Han was sweating profusely.Chen Yu smirked twice, and handed him the water bottle on his body.With tears in his eyes, the little leopard rushed towards Ma Wenqing, who wanted to eat meat.

Because it was on the road at noon, Chen Yu called Aji into the car when he was on the road again. No matter how stuffy the car was, it was much better than outside.

Aji sat next to Chen Yu, trying to stay as far away from Feng Han as possible.The young man was very quiet, with his lips pursed, and there was obvious worry in his eyes besides indifference.

Chen Yu suddenly asked: "Aji, why can't you go out with someone with the word jade in their name?"

Aji leaned against the car window, and when he heard Chen Yu's question, he immediately looked at him warily.

Chen Yu looked back with a persistent smile, determined to find out what was wrong with his name.

Aji turned his eyes, lowered his head, and just when Chen Yu thought the boy would not speak, a voice came from the side: "A long time ago, someone told me a prophecy, in my time, especially in Xia Tian, ​​there will be When I meet a man with the word jade in his name, I will go into that place with him. He will kill me and push me into the abyss of the devil."

Chen Yu was startled, and turned to look at the young man. He would never have the idea of ​​killing someone.Ever since he was a child, although his father or other members of the Chen family could not avoid conflicts and disputes, he, Chen Yu, had always been excluded.Whoever would kill would not be his turn, apart from the fact that he often ravaged small animals when he was a child, Chen Yu swore he hadn't done anything outrageous!Even animals, now they are making up for it!
