Lu Chuanbei and his companions tied all the reeds on the car into grass grids in the afterglow of the setting sun, and finally got permission from the ticket inspector to head towards the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
As they entered, the guide introduced them to the history of the Kingdom of Loulan and also told them how the Loulan ruins were discovered.
Because the Loulan ruins are still under archaeological excavation, Lu Chuanbei and others did not go in to learn more about them. Instead, they followed the tour guide to visit the parts of the Loulan ruins that have been excavated and made public.
After walking around, Lu Chuanbei and others listened to a lot of stories about Loulan, but they couldn't find any clues left by the program team.
Just as the guide was about to lead them out from the place they came in, Lu Chuanbei couldn't help but remind the guide: "Brother, don't we still have a mission here?"
"Yes, the clues left for us by the program team are still here. We can't just leave like this, right?" He Xuebin said hurriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guide smiled and said, "I've already given you the clue."
"What?"
"Already given it to us?"
"When did it happen?"
"Why didn't I see the clue?"
Not only Lu Chuanbei and the others were surprised, but even the netizens who had been watching the live broadcast were puzzled.
[Have the clues left by the program team come out? ]
[When did this happen? Why didn’t I see it? ]
[Any clues? I've been looking around but haven't seen anything.]
What clues did the program team leave?
Xu Anjia pulled Song Tiantian: "Tiantian, did you see the clue?"
Song Tiantian shook her head: "No."
"Then why did the guide uncle say that the clue has been given to us?" Xu Anjia looked puzzled.
At this moment, the guide continued, "The clue is in what I just said. If you can answer the ten questions I asked, you will receive a corresponding reward."
He Xuebin hadn't reacted yet: "Weren't you just introducing us to the situation of ancient Loulan and the archaeological discoveries at the ruins? How did it become a clue?"
"He wants us to answer ten questions related to Loulan." Fang Xiuzhu looked at the guide and said, "So what he just introduced is the clue."
"Gulp," Xu Qi said, his throat rolling. "That's it. I basically forget everything I hear. I guess if he asks me about it later, I won't remember a single thing."
"I'm a bit better than you. I still remember that the ancient Loulan people were of European descent, but I've forgotten most of the rest." He Xuebin said, looking at the guide: "Brother Guide, please tell us again. I'll listen carefully this time."
"No, the rules say it only once, after entering the ruins." The guide glanced at He Xuebin and said, "Besides, I'm probably about the same age as you, so you don't have to call me big brother."
"Huh?" He Xuebin was stunned. "I was born in 1986."
The guide pursed his lips and said, "I'm 88."
"So you are two years younger than me." He Xuebin said in surprise.
"Well, I just grew up a little too fast." It would have been fine if the guide hadn't explained. As soon as he did, the live broadcast room was instantly filled with laughter.
[Hahaha, the guide thinks he's being called old, right?]
[Hahahaha… I was a little anxious explaining how I look, but it’s okay.]
"Brother Guide, you don't just look anxious, you're really anxious, haha..."
[Haha, if the guide hadn’t said he was born in 1988, I would have almost thought he was born in 1970.]
[Yes, this is indeed a bit too hasty.]
"My goodness, the guide is only born in 1988? He doesn't look like one at all."
So, are the celebrities really good at maintaining their looks, or is the guide just really too old?
"It does look a bit anxious." He Xuebin looked at her honestly and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed it."
"People who first see me usually say that," the guide said. "However, it's because the strong wind and sand in the desert make me look a little older. But my appearance has its advantages. Even when I'm in my forties, I still look like this. So people in our industry like my appearance. It looks steady."
From what he said, I'm convinced that the guide is indeed not very old.
[Yes, older people generally can’t say this]
However, what some guides said is true. The desert sand does age people faster. And since he often plants grass outside, it's normal that his age doesn't match his appearance.
[Yes, in fact, from the guide's eyes you can tell that he is not actually that old, but because of his appearance, he is often overlooked, which is why people think he is quite old at first glance.]
[Having said that, if you look closely, this guide actually seems to be quite good-looking, but the wrinkles on his face make him look a bit older.]
I thought I was the only one who thought the guide looked okay, but I didn't expect there were other people who shared the same opinion!
When netizens began to dig out what the guide looked like, He Xuebin had already started to get close to the guide.
"Little brother, since we are so familiar with each other, can you remind us what questions you want to ask?" He Xuebin looked at the guide secretly.
"That's right." Xu Qi also said hurriedly: "We didn't listen carefully just now. It's not a good idea to ask directly like that."
It would have been fine if Xu Qi hadn't said anything, but as soon as he spoke, the guide's expression suddenly changed.
He suddenly looked at Xu Qi with a dark face and said, "Brother Xu, I heard your wife is An Jing?"
Although Xu Qi didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to his wife, he nodded and said with a smug look on his face, "Yes, my wife is An Jing. Guide, are you also a fan of my wife?"
As soon as these words fell, the guide said with a disappointed look on her face: "Why did Sister An Jing fall for you?"
"W-what do you mean by that?" Xu Qi was immediately displeased: "What do you mean An Jing? Why did she fall for me? What's wrong with me?"
"It's nothing, it's just that nothing is right." The guide curled his lips.
"Hey, you little brat! I was thinking if you were An Jing's fan, I would give you a few autographed photos of An Jing. But now, you..."
Before Xu Qi could finish his words, the guide, who had originally looked unhappy, immediately grabbed Xu Qi's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Xu. Brother Xu, you are such a kind person."
Xu Qi, who was suddenly treated as a good person: "..."
Lu Chuanbei quickly calmed him down: "Don't be impulsive, our clues are still with him."
"Yes." Xu Qi suppressed his emotions and took a deep breath: "You are right."
Fang Xiuzhu, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity and hurriedly asked the guide, "Look, my brother Xu is about to give you Sister Anjing's autographed photo. Can you please tell us the clue again?"
"What about the autographed photo?" The guide was still thinking about An Jing's autographed photo.
Xu Qi: "We'll give you the autographed photo when we get back to the bus."
"Okay then." The guide nodded in satisfaction. "Then I'll start asking questions. One question will exchange for one item. You will have one chance to answer each question. Please answer carefully."
"I..." Xu Qi was about to swear, but he suppressed his urge and looked at the guide who had turned hostile after getting an autographed photo for free: "I was almost giving it to you, and this is how you repay me?"
"Of course." The guide said without hesitation, "Or as Sister Anjing's husband, you wouldn't be unable to answer even this question, right?"
"Oh, I have such a bad temper." Xu Qi immediately quit.
He Xuebin quickly pulled Xu Qi, who was about to roll up his sleeves, aside.
"It's okay, it's okay. Just tell us what the problem is." Lu Chuanbei said, and quickly pulled Song Tiantian over: "Tiantian, Daddy will be relying on you later."
"Yeah, leave it to me." Song Tiantian said with her chest puffed out.
"I remember it too." Xiangfangnan followed.
"Well, Dad will rely on you in a while." Fang Xiuzhu patted his son's shoulder.
"Then I'll begin." The guide looked at them and said, "First question, the ancient country of Loulan was an Indo-European race. What was their language called?"
"What? Shouldn't we ask what race they are? How did we ask what language they speak?" The first question stumped He Xuebin.
Xu Qi wanted to speak, but before he could say anything, the guide looked at him and said, "By the way, you can only answer a question once. If you get it wrong, you will fail. So you must think carefully before answering."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Qi, who originally felt that he was quite confident, immediately closed his mouth, fearing that if he said something wrong, they would fail the first question.
At this moment, Song Tiantian raised her hand and said, "I know their language is Tocharian, which belongs to the Indo-European language family."
As soon as these words were spoken, He Xuebin and the others felt a pang of fear in their hearts. Although they all knew that Song Tiantian had a good memory, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this juncture.
The guide looked at Song Tiantian with some surprise, then nodded in affirmation: "Yes, the answer is correct."
Hearing this, Lu Chuanbei high-fived his daughter and celebrated: "I knew you could do it, daughter."
"Hehe, I also know that I can do it." Song Tiantian was very proud.
Then, the guide continued, "Second question, which countries are among the seven strongest powers in the Western Region?"
He Xuebin's mouth twitched after hearing this: "Among the seven strongest nations in the Western Regions, I only know one, and that must be Loulan."
"Well, you are right. What about the remaining six countries?" The guide affirmed and asked a question in return, which choked He Xuebin.
Fang Xiuzhu, who was standing aside, still remembered: "It should be Loulan, Wusun, Qiuci, Dayuan, Kangju, Daxia, and one Da..."
"The Great Yuezhi." Xiangfangnan added.
"Yes, and the Great Yuezhi."
"Correct. Then for the third question, which countries did Loulan once annex? You only need to name three."
"I know, there are Qiemo, Xiaowan, Jingjue and Ruoqiang." Song Tiantian answered quickly.
The next few questions were answered one by one by Song Tiantian and Xiangfangnan...
