After getting off, arimu and his son took me and Pockmarked Li to their very shabby home.
The Ali Mu family, like many tribal people, live in the yellow sand. To the northwest of his family are some ruins. Ali Mu said that there are ruins of Loulan ancient kingdom.
Loulan used to be very prosperous in history. Looking through the ruins, it seems that we can still see the former prosperity of Loulan. But why did Loulan disappear overnight? It's a mystery, and I don't have the energy to investigate.
In the long history, there are too many dynasties brilliant and declining, they are like a dusty picture, I believe that one day they can be re displayed.
The arimu family are very hospitable. Li Mazi and I have tasted the most authentic Xinjiang food in their home.
"I knew a mutton kebab. I didn't expect there were so many delicious ones in Xinjiang."
Looking at all the food on the table, Pockmarked Li salivated.
I'm not polite any more. I ate with a big mouth. After all, the arimu family prepared local specialties in Xinjiang, such as big plate chicken, sliced cake, hand grabbed rice
A table of food is so oily that Pockmarked Li and I can't bear to throw down chopsticks. The little granddaughter of arimu's family laughs at our two greedy faces.
Come on, laugh. I'm too lazy to maintain my image in front of the delicious food. When I'm full of food and drink, arimu gives us the most famous local wine. It's said that the grapes in Xinjiang are the best to eat. When Li Mazi and I entered the yard, we saw a bunch of crystal clear large grapes on the shelf, which made Li Mazi greedy and salivating.
If I hadn't stopped him, I would have picked it at that time, and the wine was really delicious, with light grape fragrance.
"You two digest, and there will be a bonfire party in the evening, and then there will be more delicious!"
Arimu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Pockmarked Li immediately straightened his eyes and asked indecently, "old man, do you have mutton kebabs? What I like most is your Xinjiang mutton kebabs."
Arimu laughed: "some, some, there must be enough for you."
Pockmarked Li contentedly put down the chopsticks and said with a smile, "brother, there are mutton kebabs in the evening. Let's roll them up!"
I gave him a white look, and said that he ate meat kebabs is fake. It's true to want to see girls.
The night in Xinjiang is very cold. It's really because of the sentence "wear cotton padded jacket, wear yarn at noon, and eat watermelon around the stove". The temperature difference between day and night is really big here. Fortunately, Li Mazi and I prepared thick cotton padded clothes before we came here.
When we came to the campfire, we saw a group of men and women in Uyghur costumes sitting around. On the campfire, there was a big fat sheep with oil. The smell made me and Pockmarked Li swallow.
"Come on, grandpa is waiting for you."
Arimu's granddaughter saw us coming, reached out and pointed to her grandfather, and then she went to play with her friends. Li Mazi and I went to Ali Mu and sat down, watching the beautiful Uygur girls dance, don't mention enjoying it.
"Little brother, we'll have a bonfire party when we get back." Said Pockmarked Li, looking at the roast whole sheep.
I don't know what he's like. He must want to eat and drink here. However, it's also good to have a barbecue with Yin Xinyue and fan fan fan in the backyard of the antique shop in the evening.
But the time of happiness is always too short. A scream pulls us out of the beautiful dance.
Only to hear the scream higher than one, all the people were shocked, everyone got up and quickly ran to the sound source.
As a guest, Pockmarked Li and I couldn't continue to sit, so we ran together and finally stopped at a lake.
From a distance, the lake looks like an ear. The water on the lake ripples with the breeze. The lake water is clear and transparent. The water surface reflects the stars in the sky. It looks like a fairyland on earth. But in front of such a beautiful lake lies a girl. She screams and waves her arms and legs as if she saw something terrible.
My eyesight is better. I found that this girl is the granddaughter of arimu, the moon!
Sure enough, the old man quickly ran over, holding the moon and saying something quickly. He used Uyghur, and neither I nor Pockmarked Li understood.
In this process, the moon always pointed to the lake, his eyes full of fear.
What's in the lake?
"Don't move." I just wanted to go to find out, but I was caught by a strong man. His tone was very poor, as if I had done something unforgivable.
My God, I always walk horizontally. You are nothing.
As soon as I wanted to get angry, Pockmarked Li couldn't help saying, "what are you pulling us for?"
"Er Yang, let them go."
As soon as Ali Mu spoke, the man named Er Yang reluctantly released his hand. He opened his mouth to say something to the old man, but he finally returned to the crowd."Old man, why is this man so unruly?"
Li Mazi looked at arimu discontentedly and asked, the old man didn't speak, took us and the moon to go home.
But I couldn't calm down for a long time. What happened in the lake? What else did arimu hide from us?
I looked back at the lake and found a huge thing in the water. It was staring at me with eyes as big as a red lantern.
When I was shocked, the water surface returned to normal. Was that my illusion?
Ali Mu brought us home without saying a word, and Pockmarked Li asked with a gloomy face, "I said, what are you doing, old man?"
Arimu lit a dry cigarette, and after a while he said quietly, "Lop Nur is our holy land, which cannot be offended. If the moon violates the holy land, it will be punished by Allah. You are outsiders, let alone offend the holy land. "
My heart a while speechless, return holy land, eight achievement is what monster's nest!
"Old man, what does the moon see?" I asked out of an occupational disease.
But arimu ignored me and continued to smoke.
On the other hand, the moon was taken away by Damo. I found that Damo's eyes were red as if he had cried.
"Father, what's the matter with the moon?"
I felt more and more that something was wrong, so I continued to ask.
"Brother Zhang, don't worry about these things."
In the end, Ali Mu only said such a word to me, but I received the favor from others. Of course, I need to find out how to help them as much as possible.
I didn't go on asking. I took Pockmarked Li back to the guest room.
Just as Pockmarked Li wanted to make a squeak, I raised my finger to him, and he stopped yelling after a slight pause.
Ali Mu's house has poor sound insulation. Next to us is damio's room. Li Mazi and I lie on the wall and listen carefully.
"How can you touch the holy water?"
This is the voice of silence. It sounds extremely depressing.
"Dad, the dead Dead! "
Moon like crazy, struggling to roar, I and Pockmarked Li in the next room can hear clearly.
Her tone was full of panic, which just confirmed my guess that the old man concealed a lot from us.
We still want to listen to it, but we find that damio and Yueyue don't talk anymore.
The moon says dead people. Is there dead people in Lop Nur? But why didn't I see it?
But anyway, I saw the water in Lop Nur and the red eyes in the water.
