Chapter 20 Shipwreck in the Sand Sea

"What is this?" Tashi said to himself.

No one can tell what it is, I can only be sure that it is the remains of an ancient wooden object, I just don’t know what it is. At first glance, it looks like a huge coffin, but if you look closely, you will find that the shape is wrong and it seems to be the remains of a building. However, I have never seen such a strangely shaped building.

"Climb up and take a look!" Someone said it before we reacted. A few of them wanted to climb up the slope, but I stopped them in a hurry and said, "Don't mess around, calm down. It's so high and it's a mound. It's not something you can just climb up. If there's an accident, you'll have to climb up." Oh no."

Aning also nodded and said: "Yes, those three people haven't been found yet. We have searched below and found no clues. Then it is very likely that there is no movement above them. There must be something wrong. Maybe there is something above them. What's the danger? We have to be careful. I'd better go up first and take a look. If it's easier to climb, you can come up later."

As she said this, she inserted the flashlight into her belt and asked us to give her light while she prepared to climb up.

At this time, Zhaxi stopped her and said, "Don't move, I'll do it. There's no reason for a woman to do this kind of thing. I've climbed many such hills before. I'm definitely more experienced than you." He said without waiting. Ning responded, biting the dagger, jumped onto the mound, then used the dagger as a mountaineering pick and began to climb up.

He moves quickly and has the agility of a monkey. We used flashlights to shine on him, and we hardly used any strength. We just watched him "teng" climb to the bottom of the huge object. He found a place to stand and made a gesture to us. It meant that it was not difficult to climb, and then he used a flashlight to shine on the thing.

We could only see his movements below, but we couldn't see what he took out. Feeling anxious, the team doctor asked: "What is that?"

"I don't know." Tashi's voice came from above. I saw him scratching his head, saying something in Tibetan, and then said: "Oh my god, this... looks like a ship."

"Ship?" We looked at each other. Tashi shouted again: "It's really a boat! Climb up and see for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Aning climbed up. I moved clumsily and followed Aning. The team doctor was too fat and climbed down after a few climbs. We told him to stay down there and not to mess around, otherwise he would fall to death later. Then he moved closer to Tashi.

This soil slope is indeed not difficult to climb, it is a bit steep. Although the soil is very soft, the top is very uneven. There are many places to stay. We imitated Tashi and used his dagger as a mountaineering pick, and we got closer with three strokes, five divided by two.

I crawled to Tashi's side on hands and knees. It was very cold up there. I stepped on a few protruding earthen bumps, slipped a bit and then regained my footing, then looked towards that thing. But I was far away, and my sight was blocked by Tashi, so I couldn't tell whether the ship was a real ship.

I moved a little and squeezed out a position for myself. Only then did I see clearly. Under Tashi's flashlight, an ancient wreckage was embedded in the mound, only half of it was exposed, and the other half was deeply inserted into the mound. Looking at the shape, it was indeed an ancient sunken ship.

Aning lit up a cold firework and threw it onto the sunken ship. At this time, the surroundings became brighter, and I found that the wreck was very badly disintegrated. It almost blends in with the mud. The wooden hull was completely shattered and charred. There is also a huge crack in the side of the wooden boat. There seemed to be an open space inside, and I could see the mud inside, but the depths were so dark that I couldn't see clearly.

I turned around and looked at the surrounding landscape, thinking this was a great discovery. This place should have been an ancient river before. This ancient ship sank in the ancient river and was wrapped in mud. Unexpectedly, the ancient rivers turned into the Gobi Desert, and the mounds surrounding the sunken ship were so much higher than the ground.

Aning climbed to the side of the ancient ship and shined a flashlight on the crack, revealing a large amount of mud and things wrapped in the mud. In the mud, you can also see many things that look like clay pots.

Aning said: "This seems to be a cargo ship going to the Western Regions for trade.

These are their goods. This is simply a shocking discovery. Many people still believe that there is no water transportation in the Western Regions. "

In ancient times, this was one of the more dangerous routes among the seventeen Silk Roads, and countries in the Western Regions were spread across this barren land. This was the middle ground for transactions between Arab civilization and Chinese civilization. In the past, the countless rivers here were very busy. It is unknown how much cloth and silk reached the West through these rivers. It is said that the royal families of Spanish-speaking countries could also eat watermelons from the Central Plains. At that time, the rivers here were ever-changing, and many business travelers were stranded and sunk due to the diversion of ancient rivers. There were at least a thousand desert sunken ships buried deep in the desert here. However, because the desert changed so frequently, it was almost impossible to find them. I didn't expect that there was one here. .

The team doctor couldn't see anything from below. He was very anxious and shouted: "What do you see? Are those three people above?"

Tashi called several times to answer him, but what the team doctor said could not be heard clearly.

At this time, I suddenly thought of the Gaugar people. Maybe they climbed up to check out the sunken ship after seeing it. I searched all the places below and found no one. They should be above. But I just looked at the surrounding cliffs and there was no one there. Where were these three people?

Apart from the sunken ship, there is no other place to hide people on the rock walls here. Are those three people inside the sunken ship?

At this time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the surroundings suddenly became darker. Several of us found a place to stand firm. I asked Aning to turn on the intercom and look for the signal location.

Aning took out the walkie-talkie, and as soon as he turned it on, the sound rang. very clearly. She waved it, and the signal was about the same. Then Tashi pointed to the ship and asked her to try aiming at the ancient ship. Aning stretched out, and as soon as we got close to the crack in the ancient ship, we really heard an extremely clear voice coming from the intercom.

We looked at each other and felt incredible. It seemed that the signal was really coming from this ancient sunken ship.

Tashi looked at the crack. Said: "Damn it, did those three idiots crawl inside?"

The crack is very wide, and people can indeed crawl in, but I don't know if the space inside can accommodate the three of them. We used flashlights to shine and found that the inside of the boat was very deep and dark. I shouted several times, but no one responded.

"what to do?"

"Maybe they went in, but came out again. Then they dropped the walkie-talkie inside." Aning said, "It's also possible that they had an accident inside."

"Then where did this sound come from?" I asked.

"No one can answer this for you, but you will know once you go in and take a look." Aning winked at me and put down her backpack as she said so, as if she wanted me and her to get in and take a look.

Tashi is the guide. To preserve strength. Here, Aning and I have relatively normal body shapes, so I can't say no. She took off her coat, bit her dagger and crawled into the crack waist-first.

As soon as we entered, the mud on the boat kept falling. Fortunately, the hull is relatively strong.
