My family's ancient books actually contain some knowledge about feeling the pulse, but I tried to feel my own pulse before, and it was difficult to judge whether a person was sick or possessed by evil spirits based on the pulse.
This thing is actually not easy to get started, and it has to be judged based on a lot of experience.
Of course, I don't think Sister Yuan is really possessed or has a headache. Just like Zhao Hu said just now, she must be here to tease me.
So I said seriously: "I'm a little sleepy now. If you really have a headache and think you're possessed, I can let you see if it's okay to let me rest if nothing happens."
"Ah..." Sister Yuan's expression looked a little embarrassed. She smiled guiltily and waved her hands: "Forget it, just rest. In fact, it's okay."
Zhao Hu next to him started laughing, and Sister Yuan grabbed a handful of sand and threw it towards him: "Laugh your ass off."
Then we rested separately. After about an hour, everyone's condition seemed to be more than half restored. At this time, we continued on our way. It was not until about 8 o'clock in the evening that we planned to set up camp.
The boy found a low-lying place and dug several square pits in the sand. The pits were about the same size as a bed and not deep. Then he found some dead branches of Populus euphratica from nearby and burned them in the pits.
He said that the temperature in the desert would drop to below zero at night, which was still relatively cold. After the branches were burned into red charcoal, he could bury them in sand and lie on the sand to sleep on a hot kang.
Jianzui said unconvinced at this time: "I don't think it's necessary. How cold can it be? It's so hot during the day that I want to take off all my clothes. At night, I don't even need a quilt. I can sleep just lying on the ground. .”
Afterwards, he started bragging, saying that in their northeast, the lowest temperature in winter is minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. He has never seen what kind of cold it is. He really doesn't believe that sleeping in the desert requires protection from the cold.
Zhao Hu immediately said: "Then this is what you said. If you put up a quilt and build a tent tonight, you will be a dog."
"I definitely have to set up a tent. What if there are scorpions, snakes and hell spiders coming out at night?"
"Then I'll give you a tent, and nothing more."
"no problem."
As night slowly fell, the temperature began to drop. Of course, it dropped very slowly at first, and the occasional wind still carried a bit of heat, but by about 10 or 11 p.m., it was obviously getting colder. Feeling a little cold.
The boy said that the temperature on the surface of the sand has almost cooled down, and it will get even colder next.
At this time, Jianzui was sniffing, but he didn't say anything harsh, and immediately moved the tent to the sand layer with charcoal. Anyway, we laughed a lot. Zhao Hu also said that he lost the bet and had to let it go. He barks like a dog.
As for sleeping on the first night in the desert, it was still very wonderful. Nothing happened that night. We even watched the stars together by the campfire in the middle of the night. Everyone told each other stories about the past. All this gave me It still feels wonderful.
Of course, in this wonderful process, there was an unpleasant episode.
It's not that something happened, but that I thought of Zhang Yao.
When Zhang Yao and I first got together, she said she had a dream to camp in the desert and watch the stars in the sky with me.
Now, I went camping in the desert and saw stars, but not with her.
Thinking about her betraying me again, I couldn't help but feel sick in my heart. Anyway, it was a lot of bad luck.
The next morning, after eating and packing, not long after we set off, the nightmare started again.
The fever in the desert came faster than I imagined. It felt like the air had become dry not long after the sun had just risen, because there was no wind or dust today, and the direct sunlight made it uncomfortable. We The movement was very slow throughout the day, but fortunately, no unexpected incidents occurred.
In the next few days, the situation basically stayed like this. In the meantime, we also encountered several oases one after another. There was also water and green grass in the oases. Natural people and camels perfectly complemented the state.
Maybe everything went too smoothly. Zhao Hu also said that he found it too boring, and said that Granny Ma and her child didn't show up. For this, several of us scolded him, fearing that he would be right. .
Almost on the fifth day, we arrived at the Tutu Lake oasis that Lao Hu was talking about.
Of course, we did not enter this oasis, but avoided it far away.
After bypassing it, we need to pay more attention to the rest of the trip and not just rush. After all, we came here to find the ancient city of Muta.
Less than half an hour after the camel team left the Tutu Lake Oasis, Xiao Ye suddenly asked about Tu Boyer.
"By the way, if my dad had really been to Muta Ancient City and they were in danger or encountered difficulties, would he come to Tutu Lake Oasis to seek help?"
The boy said it was possible.
"Then can we go to Tutu Lake Oasis first and ask the herders or staff there? What if they know some useful clues?"
Before the boy could say anything, Zhao Hu said: "I don't think there are any clues. If there are any clues, they will definitely reach Ekenhuduge Town, and Lao Hu will definitely hear something about it, but let's go At that time, Lao Hu had no news about this."
"It's been five or six days since we set out. What if something happened within these five or six days?" Xiao Zhuzi said.
Zhao Hu rolled his eyes at him: "You do what people say. The problem is that now that we have entered the Tutu Lake Oasis, what if we encounter an archaeological team or are asked about our identity by the relevant departments?"
"The archaeological team is moving slower than us. They must not have arrived yet. As for the relevant departments, let's not have so many people go there. The large army can find a place to wait first. Can't we send one or two people there?"
Sister Yuan agreed with Xiaobianzi's suggestion and said that this time going out to touch the house was secondary. Helping Xiaoye find her father was the most important thing. If she could get some news, that would be the best.
Zhao Hu didn't know what to say at this time. Instead, he looked at Tu Boy and asked Tu Boy this question.
Tu Boyer is just a guide, and he certainly has no right to decide where to go. He looked at me and Xiaoye and said, "If you want me to go into the oasis to inquire about the situation, that's fine. I'll ride a fast camel there, maybe not." I'll be back in an hour, and there's someone I know there, so I can ask him directly."
"Then will you be able to find us soon?" I asked.
The boy nodded: "No problem, we will definitely find it. Of course, the premise is that you don't move around."
I said that's it, let's go find a place to wait, and the boy went in alone to inquire.
Soon, we rested under the back slope of a large sand dune, and the boy drove the camel alone toward the oasis.
"By the way, Jianjun, don't you know how to find dragons and point their acupoints? We should be not far from the ancient city of Muta now, right? Can you use this method to find the ancient city of Muta?" Sister Yuan asked me after sitting on the sand.
I shook my head and said, "It's probably difficult. These dunes are all naturally formed, and as the quicksand rolls, the topography of the dunes is not static. The search for dragons and points of acupoints are basically based on the burial customs and habits of the ancients. So it’s not necessarily accurate.”
