Under the starry sky, a sand ridge line with sharp edges and corners extends far away, sinking into the endless night.
When walking through the desert, you don¡¯t need to follow a straight line, but you must follow the sand ridge line, preferably the sand ridge line of the highest sand dune nearby, because only by stepping on the commanding heights can you overlook the overall situation to the greatest extent and determine your orientation.
Before setting off, I told Lianer this little trick, and she nodded at that time, saying: "Well, I think so too."
Lian'er won't go along with others at will, if she said that, she must really think so, the knowledge of others comes from accumulation, and her ability is more like innate intuition, or the so-called proud daughter of heaven, okay? I got used to it early, so I smiled and didn't say anything more.
Old Man Tie originally wanted to come with him. After all, his internal strength is strong and long. Although the lightness kung fu is not as good as Lianer, it is not necessarily inferior to me. The reason why he didn't insist on it was probably because I whispered to him before departure: "Please You always keep an eye on the camel caravan."
The old man may risk his life to wait for us, but those guides are really not sure, not to mention they were frightened by Lianer before, if something happens, who knows if they will drive away with the camel? The heart of defense is indispensable. On this point, I have always carried it out almost subconsciously.
After that, it was a rush all the way through the night.
Often climbing up to the top of the steep sand dunes is a very strenuous task for ordinary people. Fortunately, it is not a problem for the two of us. Use it, go all out, and finally let yourself not hold back too much.
Lian'er and I galloped on the sand one after the other. To be safe, we always kept a distance of Zhang Xu from each other. We only gathered to talk when we stopped to distinguish directions. It is easy to get lost in the desert. So such a stop will be carried out every once in a while.
There is no convenient tool, and I rely on that bit of knowledge to identify the orientation. Fortunately, the previous experience is still imprinted in my mind. The desert night sky is full of stars, and it is not difficult to find a reliable positioning point. In addition, I have previously questioned the guide in detail. and inquire, so it is not difficult to make a reasonable judgment.
As for Lian'er, she couldn't tell the reason why, but when the two phases were verified, the answers she gave were often highly consistent with my side, and occasionally there was a slight deviation, but it was only a slight difference.
Whenever this situation arises, she always asks me to listen to her, and as long as there is no obvious problem, I have no objection.
However, as the saying goes, a slight difference is a thousand miles away, no matter how confident Lianer is, no one can be sure that there is absolutely no mistake along the way.
"Lian'er, just a moment, cough, wait a minute."
When I descended to the end of another blade-like sand ridge, I tilted my head and coughed, said hello first and stopped. Except for a brief identification of the direction, I ran around in the sand sea for more than two hours without stopping. At this time, the moon wheel hangs high above the head, and the night is already extremely dark, so: "If you calculate the distance, it is almost Should we get there? Next, we can't just keep our heads on the road Cough cough "
After saying a word, I coughed several times in a muffled voice. The desert is cold at night. Although thanks to the blessing of traveling with all my strength, there is heat all over my body at this moment, so that people can't feel the slightest chill. The cold wind that can be inhaled still makes my throat uncomfortable. .
"Well, that's true." Compared to her unsteady breath, the girl a few steps away was in a completely different state. After she replied calmly, she jumped up twice and jumped up to the highest point of the sand ridge again. After looking around for a few times, he came back and said, "The surrounding area is full of sand, but there is nothing, but there is a higher sand mountain not far away, we can go up there and have a look around."
I was taking the opportunity to adjust my breath, so naturally I couldn't answer, I just looked at the direction she pointed and nodded, then straightened up, and just about to say go, I heard her continue: "Before that, let's take a rest, I'm tired .¡±
tired? Puzzled, she raised her head, only to see that Lian'er had sat down carelessly and was undoing the water bag in her waist. How could she be tired? He obviously didn't take a few breaths, unless
After he reacted, he smiled heartily, walked to her side and sat down as before.
Really tired, what she said should not be referring to herself.
I chuckled softly beside her, Lian'er ignored her, just took off the water bag and drank it. After a few mouthfuls, I wiped my mouth with my backhand, and then quickly handed the bag to me. Said: "Drink water." The meaning is very concise.
We were already sitting close to each other, and her hand almost touched her mouth. I had to lean back to avoid seeing her eyes from the cowhide bag. Then I shook my head and said with a smile: "bsp;Or believe in this girl's innate intuition. Regarding the water vapor, I really had hope. That's why I dug the ground before. After being stopped, I saw that she didn't give up and looked around. Although I don't know what I'm looking for, I'm still willing to wander around with her. I've reached this point, and it won't be worse if I stay a little longer.
After wandering around like this for a while, under the moonlight, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she heard Lian'er say, "It's there!" With joy in her voice, she took my hand and ran towards a place.
It was a clump of dry reeds on the edge of a lake pit, clinging to the half-person-high sandstone wall, it looked no different from the surrounding clumps of withered reeds, she pulled him all the way in doubt, and walked very close I couldn't see anything unusual, until Lian'er went up to fiddle with it, and I discovered that under the bright moonlight, there seemed to be some dark colors faintly appearing under the large areas of lodging scorched and dry light colors.
Lian'er stretched out his hand and pulled out one of them: "It's green and alive."
Reminded by her discovery, I immediately bent down and grabbed a handful of sand on the ground, but there was no wetness in my hands. "Strange" Unwilling to give up, he stretched out his hand to push aside the dense reeds, and touched the half-person-high sandy stone wall behind it, only to find that there is actually a hard rock under the thin yellow sand layer. Pushing away a little more, he immediately jumped up and took a step back.
"What's the matter!" Lian'er was looking at other places at that time, and when he saw this, he immediately floated over to side by side, the sword in his hand was about to be unsheathed.
"No, it's nothing," I calmed down, shook my head with a smile and replied, patted her sword-holding hand, then went forward and leaned down to try to push aside the dense clump of reeds, motioning her to look: "It's just a sudden Seeing a hole like this is just an overreaction."
It is indeed a dark hole, at the bottom of the sandy stone wall, almost close to the ground, because the hole is really not big, and it is covered by layers of fallen reeds, and nothing can be seen unless it is completely opened.
Lian'er didn't want to dig into the reeds, so he simply swung his sword two or three times to remove the obstructing plants, then leaned over, took a look, and said decisively: "That's right, the humidity here is the heaviest in the surrounding area, and the place below should There's water, I'll go check it out."
She has an uncompromising temper, after saying this sentence, she stood up and lifted the hem of her clothes, as if about to jump, so anxious that I grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a minute, you said you want to go down?" Seeing her nodding, I caught her even more Not daring to let it go, the other hand fumbled a stone on the ground, and threw it into the small hole with a diameter about enough for one person to enter and exit.
The stone fell into the hole, but in the darkness, I could hear the ding ding dong dong rolling down all the way, and the rolling went deeper and deeper, until finally I couldn't even hear the echo.
"Are you still going down?" I asked with a sullen face, but saw that she still nodded, and said confidently: "I am not a rock, so I can go down and up. There may be water at the bottom. You didn't dig three feet before. What you want to find, maybe forget it now, huh?"
I have to admit that on this point, Lian'er really has the truth.
After hesitating repeatedly for a moment, I gritted my teeth, stood up and said, "Then, let me go down instead, and you will be on top to respond."
Forced by the situation, you have to do it, but you don't know the depth of the hole, and how many dangers lie in it. Instead of watching and waiting on the top, suffering from imagination, it is better to go down to find out the reality.
But as soon as this remark came out, Lian'er smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and said: "You go down? Let's listen to it, what's the reason? Is your lightness skill better than mine? Or is martial arts better than me? This kind of reasoning, not to mention that the cave must be completely dark, you can't see it, right?"
There is no way to refute, for the first time in my life, there is no way to refute what the child said.
By the way, I forgot again, she is no longer a child.
Or he was so proud of his success that the other party was speechless. At the end of the speech, Lian'er stretched out his hand, touched my head, and said with a light smile, "Then stay here obediently, and wait until I come out." good."
