Cat Gu Notes

Chapter 36

, You said that child," the uncle secretly asked Chu Haiyang, "could it be that the child really changed from a monster?You haven't seen him bleeding a lot at noon, and his lips are all white. "

"I can't explain it clearly," Chu Haiyang said in a low voice, "I have the impression that his father has a bit of a monster."

"Don't talk about it," the uncle shivered, "I'm the least timid. I'm afraid of these monsters. I'll scare the zombies for a long time when I see them."

Chu Haiyang said, "Have you ever seen a zombie?"

"I've seen several." Uncle and Chu Haiyang walked side by side, "One in Jiangxi, one in Hubei...Unfortunately, Uncle, I'm timid, and I'm a fool, so I ran away after touching things, and I didn't dare to take a good look at them."

Chu Haiyang laughed while listening: "Tell me, what is a zombie like?"

The uncle stroked the mustache on his chin: "Mr. Li told me that the so-called zombies are actually the mummy in your mouth, the kind that lasts for thousands of years. Let me tell you the one that I can see most clearly. When did it come?" ?” He scratched his head: “I can’t remember clearly, anyway, it was those few years, you know about the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, three anti-five anti-revolutionaries, right?”

Chu Haiyang said, "How could you not know."

"A lot of people died, and a lot of people died unjustly, so let's not talk about that." The uncle waved his hand, "Let's talk about a landlord who was killed in a fight in a certain village. This old thing deserves what he deserves. He once forced the girl of a tenant family to death. The girl is only 17 years old, and she will get married in two months."

"There was nothing the old landlord could do when he died. The villagers just found a place to bury him. But it was summer, and they were afraid that the corpse would rot and spread diseases. The villagers sprinkled a lot of lime in the burial pit. You know, lime absorbs water. Yes, so it didn't take long for the old landlord to become a mummy."

"But the villagers didn't know that a few years later, in the sunny spring, the commune opened the river. At that time, there was no way to use bombs, and the opening of the river was all done by manpower. I was dragged into the excavation team when I was living here. There were three commune members in the same group as me. , and there is a strong man named Lao Lei."

"Old Lei is short and muscular, full of tendons, and he is a good hand at work."

"One day after work, everyone dispersed. Lao Lei and I were going to the production team leader's house for dinner, but Lao Lei said that he wanted to wash his feet in the river. I said: 'OK, I'll wait for you.'"

"Lao Lei bent down and rolled up his trousers, and inserted the pickaxe in his hand into the ground. As a result, the old landlord Teng stood up straight from the ground, facing Lao Lei face to face."

"It's a good guy, it's such a pity that he was scared to death like this!" The uncle sighed, "That foreign pick just happened to be inserted into the zombie's foot."

Chu Haiyang asked, "What happened next?"

The uncle said: "I didn't know later, but I left later."

The old events made both of them silent for a while, seeing that Xia Mingruo and the others had entered the depths of Yadan, they hurriedly chased after them with whips.

"It's here! Red willow!" Everyone scrambled to jump off the camels, set up a camp, and then dug close to the roots of the plants. After removing the sand more than two meters deep, they saw the permafrost layer, and then dug down. meters, water seeps out of the sand.Everyone cheered, Qian Dabeard couldn't wait to lick a mouthful, and spat it out in his mouth: "Bah! It's like brine!"

"That is to say, if the camel can drink a little, people should bear it."

"Would you like to neutralize it with a reagent?"

While chattering, Chu Haiyang looked back at the camel, and found something strange: "Hey? How many camels do we have?"

The cook Gulim said: "Two Si six (26) ah!"

Chu Haiyang counted again, and even drew a picture: "Where's the one with the white scab on the forehead? Gulim! It's the old camel that carries the cooking utensils for you, and you call it meat! Where did it go?" ?”

Gulim was stunned: "Huh?"

"Are you still 'ah'?" Chu Haiyang was annoyed and funny, raising his voice and asked, "Who is riding the meat?"

"No one is riding. That old guy is almost exhausted. He has been tied to the back of the team for the past few days without even carrying his equipment." A team member replied.

The leopard, who was on duty to take care of the livestock, was the first to get anxious, turned over and got on his mount: "I...I'll go find it!"

It was Xia Mingruo with sharp eyes who pointed to the ground and said, "There are hoof prints, and they went deeper into this ditch."

"Let's go together." Chu Haiyang also jumped on the camel, bent down and pulled Xia Mingruo up again, "Hold me tight, don't tickle me."

Xia Mingruo handed Lao Huang to Gulim, and said with a smile, "Cut, who cares."

Qian Dahuzi was quite worried, and told them: "It's fine if the camels are gone, and people have to come back as soon as possible. Have you brought water? Where's the compass? Bring a shotgun."

"Don't worry, if you can't find us within two hours, you will return the same way." Chu Haiyang pulled the rein and nodded to Leopard, "Let's go!"

The camels trotted along and soon left the camp behind.The hoofprints on the sand surface were very clear under the moonlight. The three of them followed the trail and unknowingly came out of the Yadan group. The open land did not extend for a long time, and another Yadan appeared in front of them. The leopard was very discouraged: " Going back? Today is the winding, and the moon will go down in a while."

"The hoof prints are not very visible anymore." Chu Haiyang hesitated, turned around and scolded Xia Mingruo: "I told you not to scratch you, and someday I will chop off your hand."

Xia Mingruo couldn't stop laughing, and suddenly he was taken aback, pointing to the camel's feet and asking: "What is that?"

Chu Haiyang followed his fingers and was also stunned. "... Reed?" He asked with great uncertainty.

"That's right, it's a reed, a dead reed." Xia Mingruo rolled down from the camel, looked around in a hurry, and shouted, "We idiots! This is a river! Red willows, reeds, and the willows we saw just now , we've been walking along the dry riverbed! Ocean, look over there!"

Chu Haiyang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance: "The alluvial river bank."

"Leopard, let's move on." He held Xia Mingruo in front of him, pulled the rein with one hand, and pinched the back of the man's neck with the other.Xia Mingruo said: "You are not allowed to scratch me."

Chu Haiyang urged the camel under his crotch to move forward, humming and sneering, "I can't scratch you to death."

Leopard asked: "Is the animal still ahead?"

"Well," Chu Haiyang said, "Camels are spiritual things, especially when they are old. There must be more abundant water ahead than before."

After walking for about one kilometer, the gullies became denser, the ground was winding and rugged, and even small dry inlets appeared.The three of them hurried forward with their whips, skimming over broken reefs, salt blocks, and large reeds, and saw the crystal-clear ice lake under the moonlight.

The old camel named Rouzi was standing by the lake, snorting irritably.

Chu Haiyang suddenly remembered something, and tightened the reins: "Leopard! Get off the camel!"

The leopard was galloping happily: "What—? What did you say—?"

Chu Haiyang pulled Xia Mingruo down the ground, both of them fell badly, but immediately jumped up and shouted, "Get off the camel!"

Leopard asked, "What did you say?"

Before the words were finished, the world was spinning, and the leopard suddenly fell headlong on the ice, with the top of its head on the ground, and almost met Hades.It was not someone else who threw him, but the camel under him.

The other two rushed over, Xia Mingruo pulled up the leopard and found that there was a trace of coldness in his nose, he was really frightened.Chu Haiyang didn't even think about it, he slapped his head and face, the leopard woke up with a jolt.

"Why does my face hurt?" He asked lying on the ground.

Chu Haiyang coughed and went to lead the camel.

Leopard asked: "Did I fall?"

Xia Mingruo said: "You didn't listen when I asked you to come down just now. The camel has been thirsty for almost half a month, and it doesn't look crazy when it sees water. It rushes forward and kneels, and you are fine if it doesn't fall to your death."

"But this water can't be drunk either."

"There are ice balls on the reed, do you think it can't lick it?" Xia Mingruo said with a smile, "Let's do it, let's go back to the camp and bring someone to dig ice tomorrow."

The leopard stood up unsteadily: "Oh...following you, ten lives are not enough! Here, here!" He pointed to the distance on the other side of the frozen lake, "Master Xia, don't tell me that mound is a city! .”

Xia Mingruo didn't even look at it: "I said it is a city, and it is a city."

Leopard raised his fist angrily to scare him: "You boy!"

Xia Mingruo dodged with a giggle, and when he was fighting, he really saw the mound, and immediately hid his smile: "Leopard, what did you say that was?"

Leopard is still joking: "It's not me, you said it, you said it was a city."

Xia Mingruo stood quietly, and Chu Haiyang called him, "Don't believe it! Let's go!"

He nodded and climbed onto the camel, thinking all the way, even ignoring the leopard's bragging.When he arrived at the camp, everyone else fell asleep, but he held an atlas of ancient regions and desperately flipped through it. Chu Haiyang urged him to turn off the lights three times but failed.

The last time, Chu Haiyang got angry, but Xia Mingruo said mysteriously, "It's terrible, Haiyang, I might have seen Chishe City."

Like a handful of scattered pearls, there are an astonishing number of ancient cities of different ages hidden in the desert of the Western Regions, some of which have been discovered, and some are still sleeping in the boundless sandy sea.Xia Mingruo said that he saw Chishe City, he got into the big tent, and spread out the map for Qian Huzi to see.

"This one is a complete map of the Western Regions drawn in the Song Dynasty, based on the "Han Shu·Western Regions Chronicles." He took a pencil and pointed with the tip of the pen. "This piece is Puchanghai, which is Lop Nur. It was still a big piece at that time. The surface of the water: this is the Tarim River, the river goes southwest, passes through the quicksand and Bailongdui, it is Weixu, the southwest of Weixu is the mountain country, and the mountain country to the southwest is Shanshan, which is Loulan."

The bearded Qian held up the kerosene lamp and got very close to it. The smoke made his eyes smoky.

"The scale of this picture is completely wrong, and the location is very vague," Xia Mingruo said. "Now the waters have disappeared, and the Tarim River has changed its course long ago. Only Bailongdui—that is, Yadan—is still there. In short, we are in the this one
