To just say that Xie Rong's appearance is not very beautiful, but he also has a warm temperament.Ming Xia later analyzed it himself, and felt that he had some similarities with Wen Liang's temperament, which was also the reason why he didn't like Xie Rong, but his impression was always good.But when he saw Xie Rong for the first time, he found that he had an inexplicable attention to Nanjiang, which made Ming Xia's feelings about him a little complicated, if he was really a 100% rival in love, but this kid had other intentions.Ming Xia dragged Tu Qing aside and quietly asked him what abnormal behavior this person had along the way.Tu Qing thought about it, and said with some confusion: I'm in a hurry, but he looks quite calm.Nothing else?
I saw that he looked for Deputy Liu several times, Tu Qing asked him, Bi Lao asked him, and he said that he wanted to inquire about the situation in Nanjiang.Ming Xia, it is this that makes Ming Xia's mood complicated.No matter what this person does, he uses Nanjiang as an excuse.Does he really care about Nanjiang?
Obviously, I just wanted to inquire about their plan of action.Tu Qing's eyes looking at Ming Xia were a little tangled, have you thought about it?
I look at his energy, and it seems that he really cares about Nanjiang.Ming Xia withdrew his gaze from Xie Rong, grinded his back molars and said: If he comes to me and pretends to do this again, see how I look good for him!
It's not wrong to like someone, but if you do something shady under the banner of liking, it's too inferior.Tu Qing, Ming Xia waved his hand, okay, I'll go back first, and we'll talk next time I rest.Hey, no, Tu Qing suddenly felt a little confused, what do you mean by this?
Ming Xia didn't look back and said: That's what you think.Tu Qing was dumbfounded.After a battle, this kid actually got his senses?!
At dusk, the convoy passed by a small oasis that Hu Lao had marked on a map.It is said to be an oasis, but it is actually a shallow basin with a large dense poplar forest.In such a place full of gravel and yellow sand, seeing green is a refreshing thing.However, it is also clear that a place with water attracts all kinds of animals, and for them, this is not the best place to camp.Passing through the oasis and continuing onwards, they reached the ruins of the ancient city of the River, which is marked on the map.It is said to be an ancient city, but in fact, except for a few collapsed earthen walls, nothing can be seen.However, the walls of the earthen wall are heavy, and at night they can resist the wind blowing from the wasteland.Hu Lao and his party also camped here, starting from here and continuing westward, by this time tomorrow, they will be able to reach the ancient city of Liangtai.That's where Hu Lao and their accident happened.They chose an L-shaped earthen wall that looked relatively intact and sturdy, and turned several vehicles sideways to block the gap as a camping site.Nanjiang assigned the manpower, some set up tents, some patrolled nearby, and the rest of the people hurried to eat and rest, waiting for the shift change.Unexpectedly, before the first wave of resting people had finished eating, a new problem arose, and the patrol called out and said that a great hole had been found.The hole was found in an alley about three meters wide, with an opening between two walls, about a meter square.The patrol passed by here just now, and as a result, a team of six people, the first three of whom walked over in good shape, and the fourth person stepped on the air, and one of his heels fell through the hole, which startled everyone.By the time they rushed over next summer, the patrol had already dragged up their teammates who had fallen in.These people are all from the sixth team, and the person who fell down is a Northeast guy, who is tall and big, and his teammates call him the Siberian Tiger.The Siberian tiger's fall was quite strong, his feet and neck were twisted, his forehead was broken, and half of his face was covered in blood.Liu Enzheng also hurried over, ordered a few team members, and planned to go down to check.When everyone brought the tools over, the hole was opened to a larger size, only to find that the hole below looked like a hand-built water intake facility, with stairs leading from the ground to the platform below.In the center of the platform there is a well platform made of stones.It's just that the derricks are rotten.There is also a staircase on the side of the landing.Bi Lao was also very curious about this kind of monument, and when Liu Enzheng was leading someone to inspect it, he also went down to take a look.When I came up, I told everyone that the following was a water intake house built by residents in ancient times.In the western region, where the weather is hot and the wind and sand are strong, the facilities for drawing water are generally not built in the open air.Built underground, while uncommon, is not particularly unusual.There is a staircase next to the well platform, and further down is the channel of the underground river, which is quite neatly built.However, the underground river has dried up over the years, at least in the place where they are, there is no water in the underground river.Bi Lao was aroused by this underground cave, and when he had dinner, he was still talking about the water room.Ming Xia is not particularly interested in underground rivers or anything, he just simply likes to listen to Bi Lao's lectures, Bi Lao is a knowledgeable person, eloquent, no matter what topic he talks about, it is particularly vivid and interesting.I don't know what it used to be.Therefore, it is impossible to tell what kind of customs the people here have, but this water intake device has some similarities with the qanats in Xinjiang.Because Bi Lao has made a new discovery, the whole person is excited like a child, you all know the qanats, right?
Ming Xia saw his gaze sweeping, and suddenly felt like he was named in class, and he couldn't help but stumble, as if it was a system invented by the ancient working people to divert water from the ground to irrigate the oasis.Bi Lao was not very satisfied with his answer, and nodded reluctantly and said: In the snow-capped mountains in the north and west of the Turpan Basin, a large amount of snow and rain flows down the valley and dives under the Gobi Desert every spring and summer.People use the slope of the mountain to create qanats and divert groundwater to irrigate the farmland.The structure of the qanats consists of four parts: a shaft, an underground channel, an surface channel and a reservoir.The cave we found today is structurally very similar to the shaft of a qanats, and the underground water channel is connected below, but the age is really difficult to determine.Bi Lao said and fell into deep thought again.Ming Xia secretly wiped a handful of sweat and squeezed out of the crowd of people listening to the class.He was happy to listen to the lectures, but it was a little nervous to always be called up and answer questions.And Bi Lao's questions are often outside his knowledge system, which is really stressful.Nanjiang snickered on the side, was he happy to listen?
What's the catch?
Ming Xia thought about it and said: The appearance of this cave may really be an accident.It has nothing to do with our mission.I think it's better to seal the hole.After all, it is a monument, and if it is left open in the open air, it may not take long to be destroyed, or buried in the sand.That's what I thought, too.Nanjiang said: In fact, there is a baffle under the hole that was stepped on, but after a long time, the baffle decayed, so it was trampled on and collapsed.Whether or not this is a real place in nature, the preservation of monuments is something that does not need to be emphasized by the modern educated.Now that they've found out, they have to do something, and they can't just let it be left in the open.I have to write a report and hand it to Hu Lao.Nanjiang put his hand on Ming Xia's shoulder and walked forward leisurely, chatting about similar incidents that the team had encountered in the past.The person he likes walks beside him, and he can see him when he turns his head, and Nanjiang's heart is full of hidden joy and trouble.Such a deliberate distance also made him feel unsatisfied, and he couldn't help but rub the back of his hand on Ming Xia's cheek.Ming Xia turned his head to look at him, a smile floating in his clear eyes.Nan Jiang itched to tease him, what will happen if you say that I kiss you now?
Mingxia laughed, there would be no consequences.People will pretend not to see it.When we get back, someone will probably talk to the two of us.Nanjiang sighed a little melancholy, that's still it.How could he be willing to be called by the leader to talk next summer.He doesn't care about himself, he is thick-skinned anyway, he doesn't care what others say, but not next summer.As soon as he thought that Mingxia would be questioned and even criticized for education, the little thoughts in his heart flew away.This monument, Ming Xia felt that Nanjiang's expression looked strange and pitiful at this time, and couldn't help but turn his head sideways and touch his hand, and asked him with a smile, is it the sixth group that protects itself?
Nan Jiang's paws suddenly felt like they were burned, he pressed his heart and said to him with a serious face: How to protect, Hu Lao can't be the master, and he has to report to the headquarters of the sixth group.They have a special group of experts that is dedicated to this kind of thing.Ming Xia thought of the races in the Xishan Great Array that were said to have become national protected animals or protected plants, and also felt that the sixth group really needed such a department to deal with this kind of problem.Before it was time for them to be on duty, the two of them wandered around the camp for a while, and the people who stayed in the camp in Ming Xia couldn't hear them, and quietly asked Nan Jiang, did you say that Xie Rong had left his own energy imprint elsewhere along the way?
It's a coincidence that there won't be just one left, and they just happened to find out.Nan Jiang also whispered in his voice, and Bi Lao said that he probably got in for someone who was originally sealed in the Western District.Tomorrow summer, it's really tortuous.The two men circled along the route of the perimeter patrol, and by the time they returned, twilight had fallen.Except for the two emergency lights in the camp, the rest of the place looked dark.They passed the intersection where they had stepped out of the hole, and saw that something had blocked the hole.Mingxia's heart suddenly moved, where does the underground river lead?
Nanjiang showed an expression of surprise on his face, how could you have thought of it, he looked left and right, quickly leaned over and kissed the corner of Mingxia's mouth, and praised him in a joyful tone, You went with me!
How clever!
Mingxia doesn't dislike him being close, but it's just that he's always so sneaky, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.He pushed the Nanjiang River out of the way a little, and I wondered if these rivers would have anything in common with the underground rivers of the ancient city of Liangtai.If so, Hu Lao's inexplicable disappearance, will it be related to the underground river?
Or was someone who had moved them somewhere through an underground canal?
Without ruling out this possibility, Nanjiang whispered: I just asked Tang Xun to touch it for testing, and from the analysis of the direction of the river, nine times out of ten it is connected with the underground river channel of the ancient city of Liangtai.Moreover, Nan Jiang's gaze swept behind them vigilantly, but he said very lightly: Did you pay attention to Xie Rong's reaction just now?
He was more familiar with the place than we all did.Chapter 156 is back I suspect that when Old Man Hu and their missing Liu Enzheng people shouted that they had found a hole in the ground, most of the people around them paid attention to the person who shouted.But Nanjiang looked at Xie Rong for the first time.Xie Rong was moving things down from the car, and the expression on his face changed a little when he heard this.Nanjiang has studied micro-expressions, and the distance is not very far.He could see it very clearly, the expression on Xie Rong's face was not surprise or surprise, but a simple chagrin.Nan Jiang immediately concluded that Xie Rong must be more familiar with this place than them, and even the underground cave, he knew it before.He just didn't expect the hole to be discovered.Nanjiang also had a headache when he thought of this, there were many secrets in the West District, and not he could know anything as an ordinary action team member.Now facing Xie Rong, he really has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger, but think that if he hadn't watched him under his nose, he would definitely find other ways to come in.Maybe it's even more troublesome.Ming Xia also thought of this.Looking at Xie Rong's posture, he must enter the Western District, and if he is let go if he comes in now, who knows what he will do, let's watch.After dinner, several small leaders got together for a meeting to study the next route.Ming Xia sat on duty on the roof of the car with the big fox in his arms.The temperature on the Gobi Desert drops down at night, and people who are not particularly afraid of the cold in the next summer, but in such a warm and cold season, holding a big fluffy fox in their arms feels really comfortable.Qingqiu rubbed in his arms, and whispered to him through his consciousness, this place is not so safe, I saw wolf dung when I followed Bai Ying on patrol on the periphery just now.The first thing that came to mind in Ming Xia was Changtian, and then he thought that Changtian's lair was on the southern peak of Grimian Mountain, and there must be other wolves active in this area.The situation in Xishan is different from the outside, the number of wolves in nature is usually ten to twenty, and the maximum is only about thirty.But here, Ming Xia hesitated for a moment, do you remember Changtian?
When he left, he took more than thirty snow wolves with him.Qingqiu said indifferently: Probably the natural laws here are different from the natural laws of the outside world.Ming Xia was silent.When night comes, the full moon rises like a silver basin, and the silver light shines on the endless Gobi Desert, as if to coat this quiet wasteland with a layer of bright mercury.When I was a child, I read books that in the desert, the moonlight was bright at night, and I could read in the moonlight.Ming Xia whispered: It turned out to be true.Only the world of youkai is like this, right?
Qingqiu continued to dismantle him, there are so many big factories in your human world, and there is smog and air pollution, the moon and stars are almost invisible, and the moon and bright summer were ruined by him, and he twisted the big fox's furry ears in annoyance, looking for a fight, right?
Qingqiu looked at him in horror, and his ears shook twice unconsciously, don't learn from my senior brother!
It's just scared to death!
The two of them were making a fuss, and Qingqiu suddenly turned his head to look in the direction they came, something was coming.Ming Xia stopped what he was doing.The wind was not strong at night, but they still made a low, whimpering wind as they swept over the moor.There was the sound of grass and trees in the wind, and the sound of fine scraping of sand and gravel.Ming Xia didn't notice anything wrong, but he believed in Qingqiu and hurriedly got up to contact Nanjiang to prepare.The camp, which had just fallen asleep, quickly came into action.Nan Jiang deliberately found a location closer to the club team this time, but the light was unknown, and Nan Jiang couldn't see what Xie Rong's expression was for a while, and seemed to be a little surprised, but soon followed everyone to get busy.Mingxia and Qingqiu met up with the team members, and after bringing their weapons, they set off to check.The movement that Qingqiu noticed was coming from the direction they had come, which made people wonder if it had anything to do with Xie Rong.After flying, Ming Xia felt the benefits of the bright moonlight, and the situation on the ground was very clear.The endless Gobi Desert is even more magnificent in the moonlight, which makes people's hearts feel a little reckless.Then, unprepared, Ming Xia saw a flickering bright spot in the distance.What the hell?
Although they can't see clearly from a distance, they can't be mistaken by the eyes of wild beasts.Maybe it's a wolf.Qingqiu couldn't say for sure, he just felt that the energy waves on their bodies were a bit like snow wolves.But in the case of the snow wolf, the number of that group in Changtian is not so large.With this piece of shining yellow eyes, there were more than a hundred of them, and Qingqiu sped up, they had to determine what was coming before they could go back and report.Still some distance away, Ming Xia saw a group of black things rushing towards them like a tide.Closer, it was indeed a pack of wolves.Unlike the snow wolf, the coat color is gray-black, and the body is slightly smaller, but it is more aggressive in action.Because of the proximity, the momentum of the wolves is even more amazing, and at a rough glance, there are more than a hundred such a large group, far beyond the common sense of Ming Xia.
