Chapter 148: Dawuti's knot
Wen Mo pointed to the Ushi language on the pendant and said, "I have seen these words!"
"Oh?" I heard this and asked quickly, "Where is it?"
Wen Mo said lightly: "I have been to Dawuti's house and asked him to be our guide. At that time, I saw an old yellow photo on the head of his bed. The photo shows him and his wife, and the back of the photo is these words. If you guess correctly, this should be the name of their couple!"
After Wen Mo said that, Yuanxiao and I were sighing. Unexpectedly, Dawuti's wife, whom Dawuti thought about day and night, had also been here. This explains why the body disappeared after Dawuti's wife died. She did serve as the guide of the four major families back then, and she should have experienced the same thing as Tang Handong and the others.
I put my neck back in my arms and hope we can go back. If we see Dawuti again, I can return it to him. "Please give this to Dawuti in the future, which can be considered an explanation for him, and I hope that it can untie his knot."
Yuanxiao sighed, "I've explained it to him, who's explaining it to us! In this place where birds don't poop, I don't know where we are now in Gurbantonggut. It's unclear which direction we should go next!" As he said, Yuanxiao lay on the ground, "But it doesn't matter. Even if I can't walk out, I can still accompany my dad here!"
Gradually, the sound of Lantern Festival was a little low, and I knew he was very sad. I turned to look at Wen Mo, "Boss, what do you think?"
Wen Mo thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, we will go down the river along the Tuya Dark River. The current location should be north of the ancient Shanhuan Kingdom, and the distance from the King of Shanhuan City is about twenty kilometers. It should be like this."
I was completely stunned by Wen Mo's words. I was turning around in the underground royal tomb, and then jumped into the water cave for a long time. Wen Mo could clearly distinguish the direction and even calculate the distance. I couldn't describe it except worshiping him. But when I thought about it, I asked Wen Mo, "How confident are you?"
Wen Mo said without raising his head, which was particularly worthy of beating, "Absolutely fifty percent!"
I turned to look at Kong Xue and Shi Tao who were lying on the side. Shi Tao's condition seemed to have improved slightly. We dried the blanket and covered him with him to keep him warm. We smashed some foods with high sugar content with water and fed Shi Tao so that he could maintain a certain amount of energy in his body. Fortunately, Wen Mo's bag also had some anti-inflammatory drugs and hemostatic drugs, and we used them all for Shi Tao, but now it seems that he is still very weak.
I was a little worried, whether Shi Tao's body could last for us to walk out of the desert with us, or, maybe none of us could get out of the way! We could escape from the illusion of those faceless monsters, escape from the hands of King Shan Huan, escape from the giant beetles' giant claws, and escape from the sharp claws of the bronze bird, but we could not escape from the huge sea of death set by nature. I suddenly remembered Journey to the West, and Sun Wukong's supernatural powers could not escape from the palm of the Tathagata Buddha. I had some ironic discovery that we are just escaping from one predicament to another greater predicament.
I looked at Kong Xue next to me again. She was facing her back to me at this moment. I could see that she had woken up, but she was not willing to face me. I couldn't blame her. No matter what, I ruined her last hope with my own hands, at least she thought so in her heart. I don't know when this knot will be untied. I wanted to say something to her, but I didn't know how to speak.
A feeling of sadness surged into my heart, and I lay down on the sand, looking at the blue sky quietly, not wanting to speak. For a moment, the surroundings became very quiet.
I don’t know how long it took, and when I even started to feel a little drowsy, I suddenly heard a shout: “Hey!!” This sounded very familiar.
I sat up all of a sudden. Did I have hallucinations again? I saw the Lantern Festival sitting opposite me, and I looked at him and said, "Did you hear it too?"
Yuanxiao nodded, "It seems that someone is shouting..." As he said that, Yuanxiao looked around and suddenly stared at the top of a sand dune and shouted, "Damn it! Camel Corps!"
I suddenly turned to look, and sure enough, I saw a few camels appearing on the sand dune, and there was a person sitting on the front one. I suddenly found that the person looked familiar. I looked carefully and found that it was Dawuti! He was now running towards us with those camels. I was ecstatic in my heart, jumping up suddenly, and waved desperately in the direction of Dawuti, "Uncle Dawuti!!"
Yuanxiao asked in surprise: "Do you know this person?"
I nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this person is the one I have told you, the guide who took us into the desert, Uncle Dawuti!"
Yuanxiao looked at the direction Dawu mentioned in disbelief, "This is incredible. Is this the will of God? God doesn't want us to die here!"
I reached out and touched the neck pendant in my pocket of my clothes, "Maybe this is the fate between them and their husbands!"
The appearance of Dawuti surprised everyone. When death is approaching, everyone's attitudes are different. Some people are afraid, some are calm, and when their hearts are extremely sad, some people don't care. However, once the hope of life comes, everyone's desire to survive will become stronger. This is human instinct.
Dawuti was very happy to see us and looked at each of us, "It's great, you are all here, hey?" Dawuti turned his eyes to me, "Why didn't you see that second uncle?"
When I heard Dawuti's words, my heart was instantly thrust and I whispered: "My second uncle fell into an underground abyss, I'm afraid it has already..." I felt very sad when I thought of my second uncle, and tears couldn't help but roll in my eyes again!
Dawuti was slightly stunned for a moment and patted my shoulder, "Don't do this, you can come out safely, it's your second uncle who is protecting you, don't let him be sad!" Dawuti's Chinese is not very fluent, but I can understand what he means.
We sat around the fire, Dawuti looked at the Lantern Festival, "I haven't seen this friend before. Could it be that other team?"
Yuanxiao was stunned and smiled, but didn't know how to answer for a moment. I took the conversation and said, "This is my good brother, I met here!"
Dawu mentioned it and widened his eyes, "You can meet it by chance in such a place, you are really destined to be together!"
Yuanxiao and I smiled, but did not explain too much. This is really hard to explain in one sentence or two.
I was very curious about how Dawuti came here, so I asked, "Uncle Dawuti, why did you come here? If you want to go back, shouldn't you go south from where we broke up? Why did you go north?"
Dawuti sighed, "It's a bit ashamed to speak, because I've only waited for you for more than two days in the ruins of that ancient city."
I remembered Dawuti's words. At that time, the second uncle was quite dissatisfied with Dawuti's departure early, but today it seemed that he had his reasons, so I asked, "Why did you leave early?"
Dawuti told us that waiting quietly in the desert is a very tormenting thing, and he felt that even if we came back, we still needed camels to leave the desert. It would be better to take these few days to get the camels back first. But Dawuti did not expect that we came back so quickly because we were trapped under the black tower and did not go far, so when we escaped from the black tower, Dawuti happened to go out to find the camels.
Dawuti is worthy of being the most experienced guide of Gurbantonggut. In more than a day, he found the lost camel. When he came back with the camel, we had already left again. Dawuti saw things in the camp move and knew that we must have come back. He felt that we would definitely think that he was a person without credibility and left early without following the agreement. This made Dawuti feel very sorry, and finally he decided to look for us.
Based on our footprints, Dawuti knew that we did not leave the ruins of the ancient city, but went down to the bottom of the ancient well. Dawuti was absolutely afraid to go down the well, but he heard from us that he would go along the Tuya River. So Dawuti left a marking message on the spot, just in case. Then he took the camel and walked along the Tuya River, heading north.
After thousands of years of Tuya Dark River, it has been diverted many times. Along the way, even experienced guides like Dawuti lost the trace of the Dark River many times, walked a lot of detours, and took a full three days to reach their current location.
Dawuti planned to go north to the Altay area if we could not find us, and then go there to seek help, and then bring people back to save us. But when he walked here, he accidentally saw the fire we had created and the curling blue smoke floating.
Dawuti instinctively wanted to come and take a look, but unexpectedly he met us. After hearing what Dawuti said, I realized that we had been here for only four or five days. Thinking about the experiences below, it was like a different life.
It can be seen that Dawuti is also very happy and keeps muttering, Blessing of Allah!
I stood up, sat next to Dawuti, reached out and took out the neck pendant from my pocket and handed it to Dawuti. Dawuti took it and looked at it, his face changed instantly. He stood up and grabbed my shoulder, "How come you have this neck pendant! Where did you find it!"
I told me about the experience of finding the pendant. Dawuti immediately asked me to take him over and see. When he saw the rotten cotton wool beside Haizi, he burst into tears, "This is my wife's clothes, my Ayimu."
