Chapter 288: Into the Desert

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Jiang Nan was laughing with him, but he was still very embarrassed, coughed dryly, took a long breath, lay quietly, and said no more.

Jiang Nan didn't move, I don't know if she was waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to move, in short, she didn't move.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't move, he regretted it a little, as for what he regretted specifically, he couldn't tell, maybe he regretted that he shouldn't hesitate, or he might regret that he was too thin-skinned and too timid.

I don't know when I fell asleep, in short, I fell asleep later, and I naturally didn't think cranky when I fell asleep, but I was used to sleeping alone, and suddenly there was one more person around me, and I was more or less uncomfortable, and I woke up one night, woke up and slept when I woke up, and it was very unsteady.

The Yinma River is located in the northwest region, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the inn is very simple, the room is ventilated, and at dawn, Wu Zhongyuan felt cold and turned over in a daze.

As soon as he turned over, he inevitably had physical contact again, and when he realized that Jiang Nan was sleeping next to him, he was not confused in an instant.

Young people are strong-blooded, easy to be impulsive in any aspect, and calmness is the characteristic of older people, and they are very calm in all aspects.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue his efforts, the old blind man's voice came from next door, not loud, as if he was talking to himself, "The wind is blowing." ”

Hearing what the old blind man said, Wu Zhongyuan noticed that the wind was blowing outside, tilted down to the ground, walked to the window and pushed open the window to observe the wind direction.

When he closed the window and turned around, he found that Jiang Nan had also woken up and was sitting on the bed and fixing his hair.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan looking at her, Jiang Nan asked casually, "Clean up and leave early." ”

Originally, it wasn't a fine light, but it was just a coat that took off and put on it very quickly. Probably hearing the sound of them moving, the old blind man and the second child also got up, and after a quarter of an hour, the four of them packed up and left the inn.

The easy exchange market of Yinmahe is open during the day, there are breakfast sellers on the street in the morning, at this time it is not like the modern breakfast shop and breakfast varieties, there is only one breakfast shop in the market, the easy exchange is sold is a kind of roasted naan similar to the meat sandwich bun, different from the modern meat sandwich bun, at this time the meat sandwich bun is not meat scraps, but the whole piece of barbecue, the roasted naan is also large, there is a plate size, one person, eat while walking.

After replenishing dry food and drinking water, Wu Zhongyuan changed a few sheepskin blankets, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was even greater, so he had to bring something to protect him from the cold.

When the preparations were made, Dasha was called, and everyone was carried on the road.

Because they slept too late and got up early, after going on the road, everyone was a little sleepy, and there was little conversation, and after half an hour, the sun rose, and everyone went to the border area between the Gobi and the desert, and when they arrived here, according to what the old blind man said, they found a section of the abandoned city wall that was almost buried by the yellow sand, calibrated the orientation for the last time, and then entered the vast desert.

To say that the heart is not empty, it is a lie, the endless desert, lifeless, there are almost no plants to be seen along the way, even fewer animals, and you can see nothing but sand or sand.

The deeper he went into the desert, the more bottomless Wu Zhongyuan's heart became, everyone was now using the wind direction as a reference, the wind was the most elusive thing, it was uncertain where it would blow, it was also a southeast wind, and the direction and angle of the blow could not be exactly the same, there were too many uncertain factors.

At this time, there is no locator and satellite phone, once he gets lost, the consequences are unimaginable, he has a spar containing Wu Qin's aura, but if he gets lost in the desert, even Wu Qin can't save them.

Potatoes are common vegetables in modern times, and they are also the supplementary food of poor families, he doesn't like to eat this thing very much, and he never thought that one day he would risk his life for a few potatoes, but now he does need this kind of potatoes called purple potato, fighting is grain and grass, the fox tribe's 100 days of rice is not enough to supply the needs of the tribe, must find and bring back the purple potato, with these two things, there is no need to worry about the war, there is no need to worry about the soldiers not having food, and there is no need to worry about the war affecting agriculture and causing the tribe to starve to death.

Except for the old blind man who has entered the desert among the four people, the remaining three have not gone deep into the hinterland of the desert, and the tension is not enough, but apprehension is always inevitable, if the old blind man is not blind, maybe the three of them still feel a little more down-to-earth, but the old blind man was blind many years ago, let the blind man lead the way, with the wind as a reference, which is more dangerous than the night dark wind, the blind man and the blind horse.

Worried that the wind direction will change, after the departure Dasha has not been on the ground, has been flying with the wind, on the way the old blind man once again told everyone in detail about the situation of the Dixing clan, the Dixing clan should be a close relative of the modern echidna, may also be a little related to the porcupine, in short, it is a sharp thorn, living underground an animal, its size is similar to the wild boar, the weight is two hundred pounds away, the IQ is not high but very fierce.

The Black Cloud Valley where they live is actually an oasis in the desert, and the purple potato is their main food, although they don't know how to farm, they know that if they don't eat all the wild purple potato, they will deliberately leave some of it.

The Earth Walk Clan can't change into a human, at least the old blind man hasn't seen the Earth Walk Clan who can turn into a human form, the Earth Walk Clan's attack is simple and rough, mainly to grab and bite, and the housekeeping skill is to shoot out the sharp thorns on the body like scattered flowers, those sharp thorns have chopsticks long, very hard, very sharp.

Finding the purple potato is extremely dangerous, but the danger does not come from the Dixing clan, no matter how sharp the sharp thorns of the Dixing clan, it is impossible to hurt Dasha in the slightest, if this trip is ten percent dangerous, ninety percent of it comes from the way to find the Black Cloud Valley, the weather in the desert changes rapidly, especially the mobile desert.

At noon, Dasha landed, not because the wind direction had changed, but because the wind had stopped.

There are many tall sand dunes in the desert, and the sun shines directly at noon, and the heat is unbearable, so everyone rests and waits from the shady side of a hill.

There are only a few animals in the desert, not completely absent, not only everyone who knows the heat, but also a poisonous snake more than five feet long is also coiled in the shade, the second is an armadillo, it likes to eat snakes, but it is a little similar to a cat, and it will not eat it immediately when it catches a mouse, it will play for a long time first, when the second child teases the poisonous snake, the three of them estimate the current location and the approximate distance from the Black Cloud Valley not far away.

The old blind man set off from the Drinking Horse River, and flew for six hours on a bird before he stumbled upon the Black Cloud Valley, and everyone set off at the time of the hour, and now it is noon, and he flew for three hours, and according to the time, it is inferred that there is still half the distance from the Black Cloud Valley.

The shade of the desert is only not exposed by the sun, but the temperature is not low, and after the sand is heated, the heat wave is rolling, and even hiding in the shade is like a sauna.

The second child still has a poisonous snake to kill time, and the three of them can only wait, but in fact, waiting is not tormenting, because while waiting, you can take the opportunity to think about a lot of questions, Wu Zhongyuan has been closing his eyes, thinking about what should be used as a reference after getting the aura, buried in the spirit stone in some places, in case it is really sent back by Wu Wei, and he can also try to come back.

What was buried 5,000 years ago, even if it is me, may not be found in 5,000 years, because 5,000 years is too long, not to mention the rivers that are often diverted, even the peaks that stand in place will be differentiated and deformed.

After pondering for a long time, he suddenly had an idea, the warrior of the bird clan dressed as a Taoist priest who tried to kill him since modern times had obtained a piece of spirit stone, which was wrapped in an iron ball, and then inlaid in a piece of bluestone, he clearly remembered the shape and size of the iron ball, and also heard Mr. Li, who had collected spirit stones, said the general situation of the mountain where the spirit stone was located.

He doesn't know where the peak is, he only knows that in the area where the bird clan is close to Dongguan, he will take the spirit stone there, find a random mountain peak and embed the iron ball wrapped with the spirit stone in the bluestone, use it as a reference, and then bury some more from that vicinity, once it is sent back by Wu Wei, he will go to the place where Mr. Li got the iron ball to find other spirit stones

In this way, the spirit stone obtained by the warrior of the bird clan dressed as a Taoist priest was buried by him, and he was eventually obtained and used by himself, and he didn't bother to think about the paradox of time and space, you must know that not all thinking has the need to think, as long as you remember one thing, what you throw downstream, you must get it downstream, this logic is not wrong.

It was very hot and the desert was very dry, and it didn't take long for the three of them to start sweating and their lips began to burst.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the four of them went from the shade to the sun, where the sand still had the residual temperature left by the daylight.

When it came to the fixed meal, Dasha wanted to eat, but there was no food for it to eat nearby, Wu Zhongyuan sent out his thoughts, and only asked it to eat after leaving here, and Dasha lay down quietly.

After dark, scorpions and snakes in the desert come out to feed, and their food is insects and rodents, respectively, and there are few plants in the desert, and it is not known what they live on.

There is the second child, there are no poisonous insects near the three people, and the second child is also a nocturnal animal, and it will keep vigil at night.

After staying up all night, the next day was still windless, so I had no choice but to wait.

Dasha can survive for a long time without eating, and the dry food and drinking water brought by the people are also sufficient, at least half a month's supply, even if you wait a few days from here.

In the afternoon of the third day, the wind finally rose, but it was not the southeast wind that everyone expected, but the bitter west wind, which was very strong, and swept the yellow sand, and hit the face with great pain.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the yellow sand is all over the sky, covering the clouds and the sun, although it is daytime, but it is almost to the point where you can't see your fingers, and there is a big fool in it, it is very huge, not afraid of being blown away by the wind, and the four people hide under its belly, relying on its protection.

The four of them were all disgraced at this time, seeing that the three of them were embarrassed and sad, Wu Zhongyuan was very guilty, and they suffered and were very uneasy.

The wind picked up in the afternoon and did not weaken until midnight, and when you looked around, you could see that the once towering sand dunes had been reduced to a small dirt bag, at least a few tens of meters had been cut off.

The next day there was still no wind, and although everyone secretly complained, they could only continue to wait......
