201x AD.

The Lop Nur area in Bayinguole Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, is like a beauty from the Western Regions who has been covered with a mysterious veil for many years. No one has been able to see her true face for thousands of years. Although the terrain here is dangerous, accompanied by wind and sand and scorching sun all day long, and countless lives have been ruthlessly devoured, it still cannot stop the footsteps of those explorers.

It was the hot summer of July. The scorching sun scorched the withered tamarisks, and the steaming heat waves almost turned this place into a blazing oven. Ordinary people would probably be twisted if they stayed here for a few more minutes, but a group of archaeological staff from China did not even bother to wipe the sweat, and devoted themselves to the excavation of the ancient tomb on site.

Among this group of senior archaeological experts, there was a young man dressed in a trendy way, who looked completely out of tune with the surrounding aura. He was no more than 25 years old. The exaggerated D&G sunglasses and baseball cap from the same series almost covered most of his face. The innate nobility and the impatience revealed by his thin lips clearly showed that he was just a rich young master who came to join in the fun.

If it weren't for the joint funding of his father's KHS Group and the government to excavate the Loulan Tomb, and his father's threat to cancel his credit card, how could Master Ling Yu, the successor of the group, take on this hard job?

Every night, he had to squeeze into a small sleeping bag, endure the low temperature at night, eat dry and hard naan, and travel in the hot weather during the day...

The ancients also said that Yangguan was three layers, and he suspected that the blisters on his feet were three layers and three layers.

"Young Master Ling, drink some water. Water is lost quickly in such a hot place." Mike, an assistant beside him, quickly handed over the French mineral water he brought with him. Ling Yu opened the lid listlessly. Just as he put the bottle mouth to his mouth, he heard the archaeological team leader Professor Li excitedly shouting, "Look, look! What have we found!"

Finally, there is a discovery! All the hard work of so many days has finally paid off! Everyone was immediately excited and hugged to celebrate. Some cried with joy, while others sat down on the sand in exhaustion...

Ling Yu lazily raised his head and looked in the direction pointed by Professor Li. What appeared in front of him was a coffin with an unusual shape! The pointed ends made the coffin look more like a small boat, and the "boat" was tightly wrapped with a layer of cowhide. He had heard Professor Li say before that the custom of the Loulan people when burying cattle was to kill cattle alive and then wrap the coffin with the freshly peeled cowhide. In this way, the cowhide will shrink as the blood evaporates, tightly wrapping the coffin, thus protecting the body in the coffin from erosion.

Ling Yu had no interest in these ancient tombs. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that he could finally leave this ghost place. However, as a representative of the investor, it was still necessary to step forward and say a few polite words.

The archaeologists immediately started to open the coffin. When the cowhide stretched tightly on the coffin was cut, a dull sound was made, which sounded quite eerie. When the poplar wood cover was slowly lifted, Ling Yu suddenly felt that his heartbeat seemed to stop for a few seconds.

This is a well-preserved female mummy.

She wore a pointed felt hat full of exotic style on her head, and her eyes were slightly closed, as if she had just fallen asleep. Although the woman's age could not be identified, it could be seen that her facial features were extremely delicate, with a slender and straight nose, thin and delicate lips, and thick eyelashes that seemed to be swaying slightly. It can be seen that she must have been a stunning beauty.

However, what surprised everyone the most was that the corners of the beauty's mouth were slightly raised, and she even outlined an intriguing smile.  

Ling Yu realized that something in his heart seemed to be slightly involved by this smile, and there was a touch that he couldn't even explain, which spread slowly like ripples in the lake. All the staff also held their breath at this moment, fearing that the slightest sound would disturb the sleeping beauty.

"Huh? What is this?" Ling Yu turned his eyes and noticed that there was a roll of sheepskin on the beauty's body. Just as he reached out to pick up the sheepskin, a sharp pain suddenly came from his fingertips! Ling Yu was shocked and threw the sheepskin away. He looked at his hand again and found nothing unusual, so he didn't care. But the accompanying Rob guide Oak grabbed his hand, and his expression changed drastically after just one glance. He said bluntly: "Ling Yu, you must come with me to see my grandfather!
