The truck stopped only once on the road to allow everyone to sort out convenience issues.
In addition, eating and drinking are all done in the car.
Because the ground was full of potholes, the car was very slow and bumpy, and the further we drove forward, the more desolate it became!
Several times, Lin Jianye lost his temper and asked Lao Jiang when he would stop. Lao Jiang simply replied: "Soon, soon."
His eyes were glued to the compass and he couldn't bear to move away.
What surprised me was that Yin Ling'er was particularly able to sit still this time. She looked around and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything.
Even she would ask He Lanxue from time to time: "Master, look, that fluffy bird is so cute."
"Master, master, why are the trees here so bare?"
"Master, master, look there is..."
Helan Xuejian was driven crazy by Yin Ling'er, and kept repeating six words: "Shut up, close your eyes, and meditate."
She asked Yin Ling'er to stop mumbling and squint her eyes for a while, but Yin Ling'er couldn't stop at all. This made me feel very confused. She is also from Qilin, so she can't be so ignorant. .
Yin Ling'er pouted and tore a leaf back and forth: "You always find me annoying, so why don't you find a Menghulu as your apprentice."
That humming look is so cute.
The breeze blew through the hair of Yin Ling'er, and the thin bells swayed every time, and the bell seemed to ring in my heart.
I smiled and ignored Yin Ling'er. Even though what she said was nonsense, I answered with great interest: "Yes, it's very cute. Well, it's very special."
Yin Ling'er raised her chin proudly, but her attitude towards me was obviously better.
I asked Yin Ling'er if this was her first time in Anyang.
Yin Ling'er nodded and snorted angrily: "Master rarely takes me on missions. I rarely even came to the north before."
"Then you used to stay in the Miao border?" I remember Lao Jiang once said that Yin Ling'er came from the Miao border.
Yin Ling'er hummed and said that she followed He Lanxue two years ago, when Qilin...
Just as he was about to continue speaking, Lao Jiang suddenly coughed. I looked over and found that Lin Jianye was staring at us without blinking. After noticing my gaze, he chuckled and said: "I didn't expect that Qilin has such a young and lovely girl. There are so many talents, and each generation is getting better and better. Stronger."
After saying that, Lin Jianye looked at Lao Jiang and asked him what he thought.
Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Ling'er fondly and said, "Our Ling'er is very powerful. She is young but has great abilities."
"Are you more powerful than you were when you were young?" I deliberately turned against Lao Jiang.
Lao Jiang was about to deny it subconsciously: "Compared with me, of course..."
A sullen look swept over him, and Lao Jiang immediately changed his words: "Of course he is much more powerful than me."
Yin Ling'er nodded with satisfaction, took out a bag of dried fruits and started eating. I boldly asked Lao Jiang what he thought of me, but the guy acted as if he hadn't heard and continued to stare at the compass.
Oh, it simply means differential treatment.
Is this Master? Is she completely someone else’s slave girl?
I was so angry that I turned my head away, but I couldn't help but think of Yin Ling'er's words. She was indeed from Miaojiang, and she was Qilin who came two years ago.
However, judging from Lao Jiang's reaction, it seems that she is not simply joining Qilin. There seems to be some story behind it.
Lao Jiang was worried that Yin Ling'er would spill the beans, so he deliberately interrupted the conversation.
In the afternoon, more and more people began to ask when it stopped, especially the experts.
Although they rested in the camp for a while, their bodies had not fully recovered.
Lao Jiang asked everyone to persist, and Platoon Leader Zhang also ordered to continue marching. Finally, as dusk approached, Lao Jiang suddenly pinched the compass and shouted to stop.
After the soldiers stopped the car, Lao Jiang said to the back: "Just camp here and rest!"
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and we stopped in a completely unfamiliar place.
But I saw that Xixiali was extremely vast, with a high sand dune in the middle. The boundless desolation met the sunset, and it was indescribably magnificent.
The soldiers had already set up camp and made fires, smoke was curling up, and not far away there was a red sun that was about to set. It suddenly reminded me of an ancient poem: The solitary smoke ends in the desert, and the sun sets in the long river.
He Lanxue stood under the sand dune, the breeze lifted her long clothes, and everyone couldn't help but be mesmerized.
"She looks like a heroine!"
I couldn't help but praise him, but Lao Jiang called me: "Li Jinglan, what are you chattering about? If you don't come over quickly and help me, you will know that you are lazy if you don't watch for a while."
The sense of beauty was instantly broken, and I reluctantly walked to Lao Jiang, feeling that the beautiful scenery in front of me suddenly became a bit dim.
After all the tents were set up, Lao Jiang said that everyone was tired from the journey and would take a good rest after having a full meal.
The soldiers had already hung up their helmets and started boiling water. Platoon Leader Zhang was a little puzzled and asked Lao Jiang if he was going to spend the night here?
Lao Jiang hummed.
Platoon Leader Zhang looked at the soldiers, then at the surrounding environment, and asked: "Is there anything special about this place? In my opinion, it's not as good as the place just now. At least there is a small river..."
Before Platoon Leader Zhang could finish speaking, an expert from the archaeological team suddenly gave Lao Jiang a thumbs up: "Mr. Jiang, you have good eyesight!"
The expert's name is Qiu Xiuxiu, a female archaeologist who has participated in the excavation of many ancient tombs. Sanxi was about ten years old, carrying an engineering shovel, and her hair was pulled into a bun, revealing her slender neck, which looked very attractive.
Lao Jiang was not polite and asked with a smile: "Did the big girl notice it too?"
Qiu Xiuxiu hummed and said that it was her professional habit to hit the shovel wherever she went: "The Yin Ruins is so big, Mr. Jiang actually found a good place without searching for the dragon's acupoints. He just shouted stop and found a good place. It’s true that an expert will know if it’s there as soon as he makes a move!”
While talking, Qiu Xiuxiu showed his engineering shovel to everyone: "Look, I just dug one meter deep and found something was wrong with the soil. The soil below is yellow with white. It is all sealing soil, that is, backfill soil. This shows that there must be a huge tomb hidden underneath.”
"It's just that this tomb is so big and shocking that it's difficult to find the entrance."
Lao Jiang nodded in approval, saying that what Qiu Xiuxiu said was absolutely right.
However, what he didn't expect was that He Lanxue suddenly choked Lao Jiang: "Since we have arrived at the place, why do you let everyone rest so early? Don't you look for the tomb during the day, and wait until it is dark and you can't see anything before looking for it?"
I looked at what He Lanxue meant, and it seemed like he was mocking Lao Jiang?
However, it was impossible for Lao Jiang to reply to He Lanxue. He looked at He Lanxue with gentle eyes and explained: "Ximei, you will understand."
Suddenly, Lao Jiang's face became serious. He looked at me and Yin Ling'er and said word by word: "By the way, everyone will get into the tent later! No one should leave the tent before midnight, no matter what." No matter what you hear or see, you can’t make a sound.”
Yin Ling'er and I looked at each other, not knowing Lao Jiang's intention. Strangely, Lin Jianye and others nodded understandingly, as if they knew the inside story.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, they went into the tent to rest.
Those who needed to release water all formed a tacit understanding to deal with it nearby. However, what I didn't expect was that when Platoon Leader Zhang habitually arranged for sentries to be on duty, Lao Jiang reminded: "We won't need it tonight. The first one will turn off the engine and rest." ”
"But if there is any danger..." Platoon Leader Zhang hesitated.
Lao Jiang's face was serious: "No emergency, all living people must enter the tent."
Platoon Leader Zhang became hesitant. Lin Jianye stepped forward and said something. Only then did Platoon Leader Zhang agree and ordered people to stamp out all the remaining bonfires.
It suddenly became dark in Western Zhou Dynasty, with only the faint lights in the tents, and the night was so quiet in my ears that I even felt that even the chirping of insects nearby had disappeared.
What exactly happens at night?
I was a little scared, but also vaguely curious and excited!
