[PS: Prepare for a small wave of climax, high prices for all kinds of offers, all kinds of requests.]
A week later, the connections we got from Beijing joined the archeological team (actually, we got a fake archeological certificate just in case.)）
It turned out that the world that Qin Shi had been reborn into was, in fact, the world he had been in before. After Qin Shi's research, there had been some strange things that had happened, and this team of archaeologists was one of them.
He found the conversation of the archeological team very interesting.
" The desert isn't peaceful," Hu Bayi quickly said on Fatty's behalf." This friend of mine has good marksmanship."”
That's right! That's right, it's the plot that appeared in the movies and television dramas in my previous life. However, the difference is that Brother Long and I are added to this team.
Seeing that the American woman looked down on him, Fatty pursed his lips and said angrily,"The Border Competition is nothing. I went to the Border Competition Desert to kill bandits. I killed the bandits in Niya Oasis and even killed the bandit leader myself. Look, this is the spoils of war.”
Then, he took out the jade pendant and waved it in front of everyone." Have you seen it before?”
I grimaced at the side, thinking to myself,'This idiot, you can't even tell a lie. You've put all the heroic deeds of your father's generation on yourself, and you even f * cking went to the border competition to suppress bandits. You were still wearing open-crotch pants when you were suppressing bandits. You should say that you've eaten mutton skewers in the border competition.'
They were really good at bragging, but it didn't matter. This was the only way to have fun. They followed the archaeological team to see if there was really an ancient city.
However, no one refuted him. Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's eyes were attracted by the jade pendant in Fatty's hand. Wherever Fatty held the jade pendant, their eyes followed him. They didn't even dare to blink.
Shirley Yang originally didn't agree to Fatty joining the archaeological team, but after seeing Fatty's jade pendant, she agreed to pay us 10,000 US dollars each without hesitation. If we could find the ancient city in the desert hinterland, we would pay double. Brother Long and I also received double the reward for each of us. However, this money can only be cashed out after we return from the Border Competition.
Big Golden Tooth had also seen Fatty's jade pendant before. Even with his age, he could not see the origin of this jade. In this aspect, he was not as knowledgeable as Professor Chen and the others. After all, the big gold tooth was a toy. Professor Chen had been immersed in the study of the ancient culture of the Western Regions for decades. Shirley Yang's father was a good friend of him. Shirley Yang had been influenced by her family environment since childhood and was also half an expert in the history of the Western Regions. Therefore, the two of them could see the trick when they saw this piece of jade.
In order to prevent the things in the car from being discovered, they had already flown the things to Beijing and handed them to Brother Han for safekeeping.
Professor Chen believed that this piece of jade had a history of at least 1,500 to 2,000 years, and the words engraved on it were Guidong language. The Ghost Cave was a minority in the Western Regions in ancient times. Now, this ethnic group had long gone extinct. According to some ancient records unearthed in Dunhuang, the queen of Jingjue Country was a member of the Ghost Cave tribe. As for the ten Ghost Cave characters on the jade, it still needed further research to determine what they were.
The national treasure that Brother Long and I dug out from the ancient tomb might belong to a general of the Jingjue Country.
Professor Chen and Shirley Yang's father were both obsessed with the culture of the Western Regions. They were very familiar with this once prosperous and beautiful city. It could be said that it was the leader of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. During its heyday, there were few people who could match it in the Western Regions. Later, there seemed to be a great disaster in the country. The queen died, and since then, this ancient city disappeared.
The glory of the past had been buried by the yellow sand. There were only some scattered records in ancient documents that proved that it once existed. Legend had it that Queen Jingjue was the most beautiful woman in the Western Region. She was like the sun in the sky, and her appearance eclipsed the stars and the moon.
Shirley Yang's father was searching for the queen's mausoleum. The expedition team of five Chinese and American scholars carried top-notch equipment and entered the depths of the sand sea, but they never returned.
The mission this time was to conduct an on-site assessment and survey of the ancient tombs in the desert. The two of them wanted to try their luck and see if they could find the bodies of the five explorers and bury them properly.
Shirley Yang wanted to buy the jade pendant in the fat man's hand, but the fat man Hu Bayi thought that it was a rare commodity, so he insisted on not selling it. He secretly calculated how many dollars he could take from her.
We joined the expedition team made up of scholars and photographers. Hu Bayi became the leader and Fatty became the vice-leader. Brother Long and I are just bystanders.
I found it funny in my heart. These rich and educated people were just talking nonsense. If you walked in circles in the desert, who would dare to walk in a Z-shaped route in the desert? Even if you didn't die of thirst, hunger, or sunbathing, you would die of exhaustion in the end. However, I always thought that these people were people who had too much money to burn. They had nothing better to do and couldn't live a good life. They had to go to the desert and suffer. In less than two or three days, they would have to cry and shout to go back. Therefore, the route wasn't important. Just give me the money when we go back.
I said to Shirley Yang,"Miss Yang, although the leader is Hu Bayi, I am not qualified to participate in the decision of the route. After you have determined the route and target, Brother Long and I will be responsible for leading everyone to the place. In other words, you will be the shopkeeper's work, and we will be the coolies.”
As soon as he said that, Qin Shi felt a little regretful. Didn't that mean that Brother Long and I knew the way? Everyone looked at Qin Shi strangely.
Qin Shi smiled awkwardly. He quickly said that he only knew the road to the Frontier Tournament, and everyone agreed with him. Qin Shi looked like a rich young master, so how could he possibly know?
Everyone discussed some more details and then went to rest. After this conversation, I felt that these people were very determined. They didn't necessarily have to run back after entering the desert for a few days.
Including the eight people from before, there were a total of ten people. Arriving at M County, Hu Bayi contacted a former comrade in the army. He was a descendant of the 359th Brigade of the troops that entered the border. He was born and raised in Xinjiang, but he was not very familiar with the locals. It was not easy to find a local guide who was familiar with the desert geography. Finally, through the friend of Hu Bayi's comrade, he found an old man who was in the livestock business.
No one called the old man's name anymore. People called him Anliman (a cute old man in the plot), which meant a living map of the desert.
The old man held a pipe in his mouth and shook his head."No, no, it's windy season now. If we enter the desert, Hu Da (the legendary desert god) will be blamed.”
Hu Bayi and the others coaxed and coaxed him. Professor Chen even showed him some documents and told him that they were officials sent by the state to work. The local comrades had to cooperate. If An Liman didn't want to be our guide, we would find the police and confiscate your camels and donkeys.
Shirley Yang told him that as long as he came to be our guide, I would buy all your livestock at double the price. When we return from the desert, these livestock would still be yours, and the money would also be yours.
I asked Brother Long to secretly give Uncle 10 bundles of "Great Unity". Uncle's face was already blooming.
Old Man An agreed, but he made a request.""Don't drive cars. Big Hu doesn't like machines. Camels are much better. Big Hu likes camels.”
I agree with Old Man An that camels are much more reliable than cars in the desert.
Old Man An chose more than twenty camels. On the day of departure, he loaded all our equipment and supplies onto the camels.
A large amount of bean cakes and salt were served. Fatty helped him move the things and asked,
"Old Master, are we only eating bean cakes and salt in the desert? Isn't it getting thirsty the more you eat?"
Old Man An laughed."Oh, my Wu Li Anjiang (sturdy friend), you can eat it if you want. But Hu Da thinks that these should be left for the camels."”
Old Man An told us that the current season was the most dangerous time in the desert. From Bosten Lake to the ruins of West Night City, there were deserts and Gobi deserts. Fortunately, there was an ancient channel of the Peacock River, so it was not difficult to identify them. However, if they wanted to go deeper and find the Zidu Underground River, it would depend on Hu Da's orders.
Our team of nine people is more like a camel team in ancient times than an archaeological team. The amount of food we carry is less than a month, and the water is enough to last us for more than ten days. We can also replenish our water in a few oases and underground rivers on the way. In addition, there were several large bags of yogurt soup. When one was too thirsty in the desert, one mouthful of it could quench their thirst, and it was worth more than ten mouthfuls of water. In addition to the various equipment of the expedition team, each camel carried a lot of weight. When moving, the people could only rely on two legs. They walked half the way and rode half the camel.
