I continued, "That's because she was frightened and her mind was a little confused. She didn't recognize us. Then she guided us here. What does this mean?"
Zhang Haitao still didn't say anything.
I continued, "This means that although she appears to be fuzzy on the surface, she actually recognizes us in her heart. She knows her father will definitely come to save her, but she is now helpless and controlled by the King of Loulan, forcing her to fall into this black hole. However, she refuses to surrender, so she guided us here."
As I spoke, I looked up at the starry sky and the slanting moon, and smiled, "Uncle Zhang is like the crescent moon in Xuanxuan's heart. She can lie on it, and no matter the wind or rain, his heart will not waver in protecting her."
Having said that, Zhang Haitao finally moved and turned his head to look at me.
I thought to myself, I finally convinced him. Damn, that wasn't easy! Then I hurriedly said, "Xuanxuan is still waiting, waiting for us to rescue her. Uncle Zhang, you have to cheer up. Tomorrow we'll go down the cave to find Xuanxuan and settle the score with the King of Loulan!"
Zhang Haitao looked at me stupidly for a while, then a gentle smile appeared on his old face, and he said, "Okay! Now we have to eat and drink enough and have a good rest, and then we will go to settle the score with the King of Loulan tomorrow!" After that, he stood up and went to eat instant noodles.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Grandpa finally got it done. I turned around and saw the brothel owner and Lao Sha giving me a thumbs-up. I chuckled.
That night, we slept in the tent, just like before in Peacock River, four of us slept in one tent, even the positions didn't change, and the brothel owner slept next to me. Damn, I was afraid that she would secretly take my Tianpeng ruler, so I even held my backpack in both hands when I slept, for fear that the brothel owner would secretly take it away while I was sleeping at night.
The brothel owner also knew what I was worried about. She said with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Sleep well. Even if I got your heirlooms, I wouldn't be able to use them... I'm more concerned about that big golden coffin. There must be a lot of treasures inside!"
I was stunned. It turned out that she was thinking about the personal burial objects of the King of Loulan. However, when the King of Loulan fled, he took everything with him, including the coffin. He left nothing behind. It was really a pity.
I thought about it and said, "What about that mural? It should be worth a lot of money, right?"
"No one will worry about having too much money, little brat." The brothel owner raised the corner of her mouth, her beautiful eyes shining with a gleam, as if she had already won the battle for the treasure of the King of Loulan.
I rolled my eyes speechlessly.
The moonlight is like water and the weather is cool.
Before we knew it, we both fell asleep. However, in my drowsiness, I seemed to hear a woman's voice outside, vaguely saying, "Come here... this way... come quickly..."
Then another voice was heard saying, "Don't go that way...where is the sun..."
I was completely confused and when I opened my eyes, the madam and the others were already asleep. I quietly got up and walked outside the tent.
The surroundings were freezing cold and deadly silent.
There are endless legends about Lop Nur. When the stars rise into the sky and night falls, there are more unknown secrets of Lop Nur in the darkness, and also more bone-chilling fear.
I stood outside the tent and glanced in all directions. It was as if all those chaotic noises had vanished, and I could no longer hear them. I really didn't know if it was because my ears were too sensitive and I could easily hear ghosts and monsters, or if I was hallucinating.
I woke up in the middle of the night, completely exhausted from sleep. I found a piece of bread and ate it while looking at the stars outside the tent. I wanted to talk to Su Xiaoniu, but she seemed to be asleep too and ignored me.
I had no choice but to sit outside and eat bread while watching the stars. After finishing the bread, I felt the urge to pee so I went to pee near the tent. I had just taken off my pants and was halfway through peeing when suddenly, a white shadow passed by my eyes. I subconsciously looked over and saw it flash into the black hole in the distance.
Shit! I shuddered and nearly peed myself. I'm in great spirits now, and my vision is good. I'm definitely not mistaken. A white shadow just flashed into the black hole. Judging by the ghost slaves I saw at the Xiaohe Cemetery, that white shadow was most likely a ghost slave.
Damn it, the ghost slaves are everywhere!
I quickly finished peeing and tried to run back to the tent to sleep. Lop Nur was too dangerous at night, so it was safer to sleep with the madam and the others. But as I turned around, the woman in white suddenly floated out of the black hole again. Her black hair reached her feet, and she looked exactly like the ghost slave. This time, she didn't run away. Instead, she waved at me and whispered, "Come here... Come here..."
Damn, I was scared to death!
