Two days later, Su Rui told the professor and the group that the Americans had already arrived in Ruoqiang County first, and let them meet there again.

The professor complained and said that if he changed the itinerary, he would notify them as soon as possible, which caused them to waste two days here in vain.

Zi Yang saw that they were shopping, taking photos, and buying souvenirs for the past two days. They were enjoying themselves. He wanted to wait anxiously. It was true that they didn't have enough time to play.

At the moment everyone is taking the car with big bags and small bags-obviously, the baggage of the professor and his party is a lot heavier than when they got off the train. Zi Yang and Lao Wang thought it would be too much to stand idly by.

In the spirit of humanitarianism, Lao Wang Ziyang and Xiao Hei helped carry a few bags of things respectively. Brother Xiaosha nodded gratefully to them, but the others didn't say anything. It seems that you should have done this work a long time ago. Only then did you think of it. It's really not long-sighted.

Because it had just rained yesterday, the road conditions were not good, the car was driving very slowly, the driver was grumpy, and he kept greeting someone's ancestors, and the car drove as wild as a wild horse.

After being on the road for half an hour, the powder cake couldn't hold it anymore. He took out a white handkerchief and made a gesture of vomiting. When Professor Wang saw this, he ordered the driver to drive a little bit steady. While cursing, he continued to drive the car into the air.

Professor Wang shook his head heartily beside him, and kept cursing in his heart: rotten wood can't be carved, and walls of dung can't be plucked! Poor mountains and remote soils also come out of the people!

Seeing a green juice oozing out of the snow-white handkerchief of the powder cake, Lao Wang couldn't see it through, and he went to the driver and said, "Drive slowly. You don't necessarily run as fast as you step on the accelerator on this road."

The driver cursed and said: "I just open it like this, you don't want to sit down and walk."

Lao Wang looked anxious, staring at his eyes and shouted, "Your mother X is shameless, believe it or not I kicked you down?" He rolled his arms and sleeves, and gestured with fists the size of a garlic bowl.

The driver saw a messy guy, glanced at it and found that he was quite scary in appearance. He didn't dare to continue to run horizontally, his men slowed down, and the car finally moved more smoothly. He still muttered: "You have the ability to do it yourself Open, scare who? If you have the ability to open it yourself, scare me?"

Seeing Su Rui's appreciative eyes, Lao Wang was also moved by his warm-hearted behavior. He touched his head and smiled, "Look, I'm so violent..."

After arriving in Ruoqiang County, everyone came to a guest house according to the address given by Su Rui. From a distance, they saw a tall foreigner beckoning to them.

When I walked to the front, I saw a total of three people on the opposite side. A tall and thin blond, looking to be the leader, in his forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, standing more than two meters tall, standing in a crowd with a giraffe. general.

Another burly man was also about 1.8 meters tall, his face was flat and wide, his cheekbones were tall, his lips were thick, and his eyes were narrow and narrow. The hair was shaved neatly, revealing a layer of green stubble.

Another inconspicuous, frown-faced, medium-build man, dressed in Mongolian clothes, long-haired shawl, and an old man with a hat.

Su Rui interprets for everyone. This thin and tall man is called Dr. Alexander. He is a representative of the United States. The burly man is called James. He is an American and is of Mongolian descent. He is proficient in Chinese and is Alexander's assistant. The old man was named Timur, a witch doctor.

Lao Wang said: "Do you people who engage in scientific research in foreign countries also believe in superstition? Do you still need to bring religious people to support you when you come out to work?"

Su Rui smiled and said: "This Timur is a local guide, and witch doctor is also one of his professions, also known as shaman. Shamanism is a religion believed by the Mongols. If Timur is a guide, they are in the local Activities will be much more convenient."

Everyone exchanged a few words. When Zi Yang was shaking hands with Timur, he suddenly felt something strange in his eyes, but he couldn't tell what was weird in his heart.

As the Chinese leader and the nominal leader of the team, Professor Wang Wenhou has been waiting for several foreign colleagues to come up to see him. As a result, after hearing Su Rui's introduction to the two sides, a few foreigners nodded their heads. Turn around and check his equipment.

White smoke came from Professor Wang's angry nose, thinking that Lao Tzu was a human figure when he was in school. Even the principal nodded when he saw me. What kind of green onion are you? Dare to be so rude to me!

In the blink of an eye, foreigners’ luggage and equipment are all sophisticated and advanced, such as metal detectors, SLR cameras, laptops, satellite positioners, ground penetrating radars and other sophisticated instruments, compared to the shovel carried by a group of people. , Hand shovel, brush, and compass are the same tools in the ancient times.

However, Lao Wang and Zi Yang had mixed faces with Alexander. Lao Wang practiced a foreign language with Alexander over there: howareyou? whereareyoufrom? mynameislaowang!

When he checked in, Professor Wang was irritated and sweated again. The foreigner did not say hello to him when he booked the room. He directly booked Professor Wang’s room with other students. There was no single room and no room. The room is an ordinary two-person standard room, which does not highlight the treatment and prestige of his first-hand.

Thinking of his own dignified university professor who was going to squeeze the standard room with the students, he clanged in the room and threw dishes out of anger.

This Zi Yang smirked inwardly as he watched next to him, thinking that the gap between Chinese and Western cultures was really unobstructed in this small hotel. There is nothing special about Dr. Alexander's board and lodging with everyone. Professor Wang feels that he is a person all day long. He talks about ostentation everywhere, and is always courteous.

After dinner, everyone gathered for a meeting. Su Rui asked Professor Wang how he was doing, and whether he would have any problems leaving Loulan tomorrow. Professor Wang snorted in his nose to indicate that he was still angry, which is not a problem.

At the moment, Alexander brought out the materials and satellite map to introduce, and Su Rui was interpreting by the side.

This Loulan ancient city is located in the northeast of Qiangruo County, about 300 kilometers away from the county seat, on the north bank west of Lop Nur, 7 kilometers on the south bank of the Kongque River, and its geographic coordinates are 89°5522" east longitude and 40°2955" north latitude.

Alexander has already discussed the marching line with Timur. To get up tomorrow morning, everyone will start from the 36 regiment field in Milan, 74 kilometers away from Ruoqiang County, and travel 222 kilometers to the northeast. The satellite locator and compass are used to correct the direction on the road to avoid getting lost. .

Then Alexander confessed that, as all the roads and ridges of the Yadan landform passed by, the car can only travel a few kilometers per hour. There are still more than 20 kilometers away from Loulan, and cars can no longer get in. You must ride a camel or walk on foot to get there.

They have entrusted Mongolian guides to prepare camels in the local area. The twelve people will be divided into four off-road vehicles, and they will set off tomorrow with their equipment. Then they will dispatch all the equipment and instruments that they need to take care of.

Professor Wang hugged his arms and sulked his cheeks next to him. Should I make the decision? Why are you talking to yourself? The travel and leisure routes carefully planned at home have all failed, so angry.

I thought about rebuttal but couldn't find a valid reason. Alexander arranged everything in an orderly manner. Obviously he didn't take him seriously, and he didn't even mean to ask for advice!

Fortunately, Alexander did not mention these expenses such as car rental and camel rental, so his budget was much more generous, and then Professor Wang focused on how to spend money.
