"Cut, give you some sunshine and you will be brilliant, I said ugly things ahead, we must rush back before dawn, don't delay the trip."

"Okay, obey your daughter-in-law!" The two of them stepped forward and one after the other, speeding up their pace.

The caravan in front of them was not fast, and it didn't take long to catch up, but they didn't dare to follow too closely, for fear that they would not be able to get out after being discovered. This group of caravans was large in number, and they carried a lot of goods, and it was said that they would have been tired after walking for so long, but why did they have to hurry at night without resting? Unless they have to, they have to rush to a certain location within the allotted time.

"Do you think these people are weird? Look at the way they are hurrying, why don't so many people talk to each other along the way? Don't they need to communicate, just keep their heads down and hurry? Ma Chengfeng asked.

"Actually, I just wanted to say that this group of people suddenly appeared in the desert, and it was just silent. According to common sense, the ears of camels are sharper than ours, and if there is an abnormality at night, our camels will have a reaction, but you see, our camels have slept more soundly than people just now. ”

"Daughter-in-law, do you mean these people...... Not human? ”

"I don't know, I can't be sure, but since we've been following each other for so long, let's take another look."

In fact, Chang Xiaoman didn't want to accompany Ma Chengfeng to toss blindly in the middle of the night, who wasn't tired after a day's journey? Who doesn't want a good night's sleep? But I have to say that Chang Xiaoman is a smart woman, she understands her husband's temperament, and she can't reprimand him against his nature, if he does something wrong, then he has to hit the south wall and then turn back. may be precisely because of Xiao Man's empathy that Ma Chengfeng will love her in every way.

The two of them followed farther and farther, and before they knew it, they had been following for more than ten kilometers. There were no signs in the desert, and Xiao Man was afraid that they would not find their way back for a while, so they left marks along the way.

"Cheng Feng, I don't think we can follow anymore, we are going farther and farther, we have never been to this sandy land, and the terrain is not familiar, don't you think the neighborhood is too desolate?"

Ma Chengfeng disagreed. "Desert, what is it called a desert if it is not desolate?"

"No, even if it's a desert, all the explorers and scientific expedition members who have come are actually looking for a fixed journey, and the road we are taking today is the road that Khashura passed through from Alda, and we have also seen many ruins of ancient cities in the Western Regions on the way, which shows that this was the ancient Silk Road in the past. But look here? The desolation makes me panic a little, no! Definitely can't go any more! Xiao Man sounded the alarm for him.

"Oh, daughter-in-law, don't you make me itch? We've been following for hours, and we're just giving up? ”

Xiao Man didn't speak, just glared at him.

"Okay, go back!" Ma Chengfeng couldn't resist her, and he knew the purpose of their trip, so he had to give up tracking for the time being.

But just as he was about to turn around, he turned around, but found that the caravan in front of him had stopped.

"Wait!" He shouted with open hands.

Xiao Man turned his head and followed his line of sight, and the group of merchants had all jumped off the camels and had begun to unload their baggage. Could it be that they have reached their destination? But there is nothing in front of you except the yellow sand all over the field?

Hula...... Whew...... Hulala......

Suddenly, at this time, I don't know what evil I have committed, the sand wind swept again, and the yellow sand in the sky obscured the vision, and the wicked man quickly turned his back and hid behind the camel. This time, the sandstorm was surprisingly violent, with eight or nine levels. Two camels came down to shield their owners from the wind and sand, and the two of them lay behind the camels, and they could not act rashly in this situation, but could only wait for the sandstorm to stop.

After ten minutes or so, the sand wind gradually weakened, and a thick layer of sand had covered the two camels. With a bang, Ma Chengfeng's hand stretched out from under the sand, then slowly climbed out, and then dragged Xiao Man out.

Neither of them looked like anyone else, their clothes and hair were all filled with sand.

The two coughed and pulled the sand out of their ears and noses, then shook their heads and smiled at each other.

Ma Chengfeng wiped his face for Xiao Man and said, "I said goddess, are you the beauty who looked at the moon on the Erxian Residence?" If I had seen you like this, I would never have dared to talk about it. ”

"Humph! How can you think you're better than me? Don't look in the mirror either? I don't dislike this flower, you are cow dung! ”

Joke aside, the two looked up again, and found that the group of merchants had disappeared. The wind and sand just now were very strong, and a slightly experienced desert explorer knows that they can't rush in this situation.

Even if they walked forward against the sandstorm, they would not be able to go far for ten minutes, and there was no cover in the desert, and their whereabouts could be seen at a glance.

"Strange! What about people? Is it really ...... It's really ......" Xiao Man wanted to speak and stopped.

Ma Chengfeng opened his ghost pupils, and the faint green light flickered out several kilometers away.

"Ahead! There seem to be the remains of an ancient city in front of you! ”

Xiao Man shook the sand on his body, turned over and jumped on the camel's back, and asked him, are you sure we want to follow again?

Ma Chengfeng said with a hippie smile: "Daughter-in-law, can't you just give me one last chance?" Let's go to the ruins of the ancient city, and if we can't find anyone again, I'll go back with you immediately. ”

"Okay, this time it's up to you! An hour, an hour later, we'll have to go back! Otherwise, they won't see it when it's dawn, and we'll be worried. Xiao Man rode a camel and followed Ma Chengfeng. Who says there are only losers? Xiao Man just followed an unreliable man, a wild man, purely wild, wild and untrained!

The ruins of the ancient city are getting closer and closer, and the two of them stand on a sand dune, which can clearly see the scenery inside the ruins of the ancient city.

They found that this is not the ruins of an ancient city, the ancient city is well preserved, and the houses and streets inside are still a prosperous city. But this prosperity is also compared with other ancient city ruins in the Western Regions, and it is naturally not as prosperous as a modern city.

The reason why it is said to be prosperous is because there are people in this ancient city! And a lot of people! There are probably thousands of houses, several buildings, and dozens of streets in the city. On the streets, countless people dressed in different clothes are singing and laughing to celebrate a certain grand festival.

Gu Chengzhong was brightly lit, and he could hear the beautiful rhythm coming from the city when he stood on the sand dunes. It seems that the group of merchants just now entered this ancient city.

"Is there an ancient city marked on the map?" He looked at Chang Xiaoman in surprise.

Xiao Man shook his head.

"Damn, it's over, it seems that my business is in vain, there is such a big ancient city in the center of the desert, so what money does our hotel still make? Made, housewarming knows that you have to hate me to death! Thousands of dozens in the water? ”
