    There is of course the scariest sound at night in the desert: the sound of your own accelerated pulse in contrast to the eternal silence of the desert.  The old man also told a relatively long story.  In the early years, Lop Nur was still a beautiful lake, known as the Fairy Lake.  After the war, due to the economic depression, especially in this desolate and remote place, food was scarce, so some young people wanted to go to the desert to catch scorpions and sell them to support their families.  Catching scorpions requires going at night, and most of these scorpions are highly poisonous, so a group of young people met to go out together at night.  They held the lantern and walked into the depths of the desert.  At this time, a young man found a nest of scorpions under a piece of gravel and immediately called his friends to catch it.  These scorpions are small but highly venomous.  Just as they were carefully catching the scorpions, a hole suddenly collapsed next to them! A group of scorpions crawled out of the hole.  When the boys saw that it was important to escape, they scattered in all directions. However, these scorpions did not attack anyone and quickly disappeared into the soil.  The boys came forward and took a look. It was so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly, so they made an appointment to come back during the day tomorrow to find out.  The next day, the boys asked several young people from the village to go with them, and they found the entrance of the cave.  They left a few people at the entrance of the cave to help, while others climbed down along the rope.  It doesn't matter, there is actually an ancient tomb below! The walls of this ancient tomb are covered with exquisite murals, and it is magnificently built, but many of its institutions have failed due to age.  These young people were crazy with joy and took away a lot of treasures from it.  Soon, everyone in the village knew about it, and the men gave up their lives to find the treasure.  Just when everyone thought that good times were coming, several young people in the village who were the first to go down began to foam at the mouth, became crazy, hysterical, and even bit people crazily, and finally died of exhaustion.  After a period of time, everyone who visited the ancient tomb began to go crazy, and even those who were bitten were at risk of infection. In an instant, the entire village fell.  Fortunately, the villages here are very far apart and the virus has not spread.  More than ten years later, a scientific expedition team came to the Lop Nur area for inspection, accompanied by scientist Peng Jiamu.  Later, Peng Jiamu found a magical plant in the mysterious ancient tomb. He believed that the virus was produced after the fermentation of this plant and the corrupt air in the ancient tomb. When he wanted to investigate further, Peng Jiamu had disappeared.  A student who had a good relationship with Peng Jiamu revealed that Peng Jiamu was very worried about whether he was infected with the same virus. Perhaps he was afraid of injuring everyone, so he chose to disappear.  When they went back to look for the entrance to the ancient tomb, they could no longer find it.  It¡¯s been so long since the incident, the truth may have been buried in the sand.  This can be considered a mystery.  In fact, Zhang Tianyuan had heard of it before, but when the old man told it, he still had a very special feeling.  Zhang Tianyuan got up before dawn, sipping coffee with cardamom to wake up his sleepy head instantly.  Details of the nocturnal activities are scrawled in the sand: a snake wandered into the camp and sniffed at the cooler; several species of beetles bustled about doing their night jobs.  Zhang Tianyuan forgot the story at night because he could not move forward with fear.  No matter how dangerous the desert is, he must set off.  "Brother Zhang, if you want to ask Alan to be your tour guide, you have to give him money, right?" Zhan Fei said with a smile.  "Money must be given. Alan and his family rely on this to make a living. Feelings are feelings, and business is business. They are two different things. But it really stumps me how much you want to give. It depends on where we are going.  Sometimes, one person is enough, and sometimes, one thousand, or even ten thousand, the tour guide is not willing to go because his life may be in danger at any time." "Then you have to give Alan more.  Money, I think this job is quite tiring," Ouyang Xiaodan said suddenly.  "Huh? Didn't our Officer Ouyang distrust Alan before?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.  "Hmph, can't I change my mind? Alan is indeed a good girl and has good skills. Why should I not believe her?" Ouyang Xiaodan pouted.  Regarding the money issue, Zhang Tianyuan has actually discussed it with Alan, not on a per-person basis., one thousand yuan a day.  Pay a deposit of RMB 10,000 first, and any excess will be refunded.  This is mainly because they are afraid of encountering danger in the desert, and Alan and his family have nowhere to go to ask for money.  He was so thoughtful that Alan had nothing to say.  While they were chatting, Alan had already prepared the camel.  Four people and six camels.  Four of them are for people to ride on, and the other two are for carrying supplies. They say they are supplies, but they are actually just some food and drink.  Zhang Tianyuan¡¯s archeology does not require any equipment.  ¡° Anyway, both Ouyang Xiaodan and Zhan Fei have seen his magic, and he is not afraid of exposing anything in front of these two people.  As for Alan, she spends most of her time watching the camels, so she won¡¯t be around and won¡¯t have any influence.  After loading the things, Alan drove the camel towards the desert.  Unlike riding a horse, riding a camel is very stable. The camel's feet are padded with thick skin, which is very suitable for walking in the desert. The thick hair in the ears can block the entry of wind and sand. The double eyelids and thick long eyelashes can also  Prevent wind and sand from entering the eyes, and even the nose can be closed freely.  Camels have smaller heads, thicker and longer necks, and are curved like goose necks.  The body is tall and the body hair is brown.  Very able to endure hunger and thirst.  Camels can survive for 3 weeks without water and up to a month without food.  Camels are animals of the genus Camelidae and there are only two species.  Human beings living on the edge of the desert have begun to domesticate camels as draft animals as early as 3000 BC for transport and riding. Many countries have camel herders and even camel cavalry who rely on camels for their livelihood.  Dromedary camels have short hair and mainly live in tropical areas such as North Africa, West Asia, and India. Herders living in desert areas use camel milk and even camel blood as food. Currently, there are only 14 million in the world, all of which are domestic animals.  Because there are many extremely thin and tortuous tubes in their noses, the tubes are usually moistened with liquid. When the body is short of water, the tubes immediately stop secreting liquid and form a layer of hard skin on the surface of the tubes, which is used to absorb the exhaled water.  It will not be lost outside the body; when inhaling, the moisture in the hard skin can be returned to the body.  Water is recycled and used repeatedly in the body, so it can withstand thirst.  This is why it is called the desert boat.  At the beginning, the camels ran relatively slowly, so it was quite comfortable for three people to sit there.  But in order to hurry up, Alan said hello, and the camels began to speed up.  Although the running method is different from that of horses, the speed is not slow at all.  It just made Ouyang Xiaodan, who had never sat on a camel, feel a little uncomfortable and almost fell off.
