The next morning, Yang Yang woke up from the back of the car and moved his body.

Last night he could say that he didn't sleep well all night.

The climate in the northwest is inherently hot and dry during the day, with extremely low temperatures at night, especially in the underground car parks.

Even if the car was prepared with a quilt, he was woken up several times by freezing at night.

Several times it flashed through my mind that I simply left the woman in the hotel and drove to another hotel.

But at first, he didn't refuse to stay in this hotel, and he promised not to leave her, so he dispelled this idea.

The temperature rose a little in the morning, and Yang Yang rested for a while in the underground parking lot.

Woke him up by the movement of the car here, tidied up his things, and got out of the car.

After buying two hot breakfasts from the street, Yang Yang returned to the hotel, intending to take a shower in his room before setting off.

Once you leave the city and are in the desert wilderness, every drop of water around you is precious, and bathing is simply a luxury.

It doesn't matter if he stinks alone, he is accompanied by a woman, and she probably can't stand it.

Women are trouble.

The exhaustion of the body and the mood have become very bad.

opened the door of the room with the room card and saw Xu Yan sleeping on his bed, Yang Yang's eyelids jumped.

I have a room and I don't sleep and run to his room, is this an intention to ambush him?

Yang Yang was glad that he had a foresight, and he didn't go back to the hotel after waking up several times at night.

There is no such thing as a vain lunch.

Putting breakfast on the table, Yang Yang walked to the side of the bed, pinched Xu Yan's face and said, "Xu Ya, you should almost wake up, and when you have breakfast, we will set off." ”

It wasn't until Xu Yan woke up that Yang Yang let go of his hand, and then took a step back and turned around to take a bath before Xu Yan touched him.

Closing the door of the bathroom, Yang Yang shouted again, "Before breakfast, put on your clothes, if you catch a cold on the road, I won't send you back." ”

He didn't want to come out of the shower, Xu Yan gave him another 'surprise'.

"What do you think of me, I sleep with clothes on. ”

Xu Yan had already gotten up, wearing hotel slippers, and was flipping through the breakfast Yang Yang bought for her.

There was such a part of her plan yesterday, which was to make Yang Yang realize her charm as a woman.

But after Yang Yang escaped, she was worried that Yang Yang would scare him away when he came back in the middle of the night, so she put on her clothes and went to sleep.

Even put on her underwear, and wanted Yang Yang to allow her to spend the night in the same room with him.

It's a pity that Yang Yang really didn't come back overnight as he said.

"Running to my room in the middle of the night to sleep, what kind of person do you think I'm going to take you for. Yang Yang's impatient voice came from the bathroom.

Xu Yan's action of eating mutton buns paused, and then retorted, "Didn't I say it yesterday, the shower in my room is broken, there is water everywhere in the room, and there are no other rooms in the hotel, so I asked the waiter to open the door of your room and move in." ”

Yang Yang, who was in the shower, did not refute, closed his eyes and seriously let the water wash his body.

He knew it would be like this, and it would be too coincidental to say that it was a coincidence.

Yang Yang didn't speak, and the room could only hear the sound of running water in the bathroom.

Xu Yan ate two mutton buns and was full.

"If we leave in the morning, how can we solve it at noon. ”

"It depends, if there is no place to eat halfway, the car will be filled with compressed biscuits and water. ”

"Oh, if you eat those, I'll eat it too. ”

As she spoke, Xu Yan had already secretly picked up the remaining mutton buns and kissed them one by one.

Yang Yang didn't know what she was doing outside.

Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom and changed his clothes.

When she was taking a bath, Xu Yan didn't do anything troublesome, which made Yang Yang feel a lot better.

However, when he was nibbling on the mutton buns, Xu Yan looked at him, his smile was sweet and greasy, and that kind of happy face for no reason made him feel very strange and uncomfortable in his heart.

Yang Yang turned his head and forced himself not to care about this woman with a hole in her head, and her tone softened a lot.

"If you want to buy some food later, I won't stop you, I guess we're going to sleep there at night. ”

Xu Yan held her chin and didn't speak, just looked at Yang Yang.

He was running out of food.

"If you don't go shopping, you don't have anything else to do, so you wash your face and brush your toothbrush. ”

I didn't brush my teeth!

Xu Yan was suddenly startled in her heart, quickly covered her mouth, and ran into the bathroom.

But thinking about it in the mirror, isn't it more thorough for me to kiss Yang Yang indirectly.

And he hasn't found out yet.

Xu Yan was suddenly full of excitement again.

......

Yang Yang filled up the rented off-road vehicle with fuel and drove all the way northwest.

At first, it was still on the road, and everything went well, but after approaching the destination, let alone the road, there was no mobile phone signal.

Fortunately, Yang Yang was prepared, and he saved some information and maps in his mobile phone, so he barely got lost.

Xu Yan sat in the back of the car halfway and kept playing with the puppy to relieve boredom.

Near dusk, Yang Yang arrived at the destination of his trip.

A desert ancient river channel with a lot of poplar trees remaining.

In the vicinity of the ancient river channel, most of the poplar trees have died, and only a few are still alive.

Yang Yang found a seat and stopped the car.

"You find a spot, we'll spend the night here tonight. ”

"Why?"

"I saw with my own eyes what the poplars look like at night here. ”

It's an indescribable feeling.

The poplar trees in the daytime always give people a desolate feeling.

But on a quiet night, with a sky full of stars, they should be beautiful.

Or maybe he's just hot-headed.

"Since you want to, then I'll accompany you. Xu Yan looked up at the poplar trees around her, it was very desolate.

But behind the desolation, they must have also flourished.

When I think about it, I can't help but think of the dream I had last night.

Maybe they're waiting for something too.

"Then the one, let's drive over. Xu Yan pointed to a poplar tree that was still alive, and there were some remnants of fallen poplar trees near it.

When they first set out, they ended up buying some mutton and beef, and with these remains, they could not only warm themselves at night, but also roast meat.

Yang Yang glanced at it and nodded in agreement, it was indeed an ideal choice over there.

Cold desert nights are very difficult to endure without a campfire to keep warm, even if they have tents and sleeping bags.

......

With the ignition of the bonfire, a wisp of green smoke slowly rose in the barren ancient river channel.

Xiaoqiu lay in Xu Yan's arms, looking at the barbecue meat that was emitting an enticing aroma on the bonfire, and his eyes were full of longing.

It's a pity that it is still a puppy and can't chew barbecue at all, and Xu Yan can only caress and comfort him in its aggrieved wail.

"I'll go to sleep first, something will call me. ”

Yang Yang's spirit is not very good, and he only eats a little barbecue, so he has no appetite.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yan looked at Yang Yang with some concern, and he only ate a little compressed biscuit at noon.

"Maybe I'm driving too much today and I'm a little tired. ”

At first, I didn't feel that after arriving at Guhe Road, Yang Yang felt particularly tired.

However, the night sky of Lop Nur was as beautiful as he thought, which made him feel good.

Before entering the tent temporarily, because of Xu Yan's worry, he touched her head comfortingly.

"That'...... Let the hillock accompany you. Xu Yan wanted to enter a tent with Yang Yang, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind and sent Xiaoqiu to Yang Yang.

"You go to bed early, it should be cold at night. Yang Yang saw Xu Yan's intentions, and it was indeed much warmer for two people to sleep in a tent.

Just for warmth, he would not refuse, but he felt that saying it would make Xu Yan mistaken, so he didn't bother to mention it.

With a car to block the wind and a campfire between the two tents, it's no problem to sleep in a single tent.

After the lights in the tent went out, Xu Yan was the only one left in the ancient river with a skewer, looking at the fire in a daze.

Not far from the poplar tree, Xu Yan remembered the dream she had last night.

"She waited until he wanted to wait for someone else. Xu Yan curled her body, hugged her knees, and looked at the firelight slightly.

Thousands of years is too long for mankind, and what kind of ending is behind this beautiful oath.

"If it's a happy ending, hopefully I can still dream about it at night, if not, forget it"

After muttering for a while, Xu Yan felt that the time was almost up, put down her distracting thoughts, quietly approached Yang Yang's tent, and put her ear on it.

There was the sound of Yang Yang's even breathing inside, and he was already asleep.

Xu Yan let Yang Yang escape yesterday, and today we will see how he escapes.

Xu Yan, who was still a little sad just now, thought that she could sleep with Yang Yang tonight, and her mood suddenly improved.

The woman in the dream can only wait for her lover, but the loved one is by her side.

Even if you are stubborn, you don't have to endure the pain of parting.

Taking the sleeping bag in her tent, Xu Yan carefully got into Yang Yang's tent and did not wake him up.

......

In the middle of the night, the desert ancient river channel was surprisingly quiet, the two leaves of the poplar tree fell quietly on the tent, and the bonfire lit with the remains of the poplar tree had not yet been extinguished, and the heat emitted was transmitted to the two people through the tent.

Xu Yan's sleeping bag was attached to Yang Yan's sleeping bag, and Xu Yan felt more at ease than sleeping on a hotel bed.

Last night's vague dreams became clearer.

In the dream, time returned to the ancient kingdom of Loulan long ago.

A maid snuck out of the palace in a panic with a baby girl in her arms.

The baby girl is not a maid's child, but she is better than her child.

Her biological mother was the side concubine of King Loulan, but because she offended the princess, she nearly two children died.

The last little princess, the side concubine doesn't ask for anything else, only wants her to live freely, and let the maid who is most taken care of by her take her out of the palace to raise her.

The maid gave the baby girl to her parents, and when she returned, the concubine was out of breath.

Concubine Fang only thought that her daughter would be able to survive and grow up freely if she left Loulan Palace.

But I don't know where the low-level people who grew up in a country surrounded by deserts have the freedom to speak of, and they have to do their best to survive.

With the passage of time, the water of the upper river was diverted, and the water available in Loulan became scarce and scarce.

The maid who often gave help to the little princess could not bring her enough water for a long time.

So it was just the value of a pot of water, and the little princess was married to the son of the head of the Loulan king's guards.

Two young people, just like that, met in this way.

The son of the commander of the guards, he didn't know that he was married to the princess of Loulan Kingdom, but he only felt that his wife was very beautiful and cute.

The little princess also felt that her husband, although not mature enough, was very kind, and the eyes that looked at her were different from others.

If you get along with this person, you will definitely be very happy if you have another child in the future.

But in this water-scarce country, how can it be so simple to be happy.

As the river cut off, Loulan had to expand outwards in order to keep up with more resources for survival.

For the sake of Loulan and his wife, the husband of the little princess can only go on the expedition with his father.

The two agreed that as long as this Loulan is no longer short of water, he will come back, have a child together, and live a happy life.

Under the poplar trees of the dry river, the little princess bid farewell to her husband.

This send-off, there is no meeting again.

War reports kept coming from the front, and everything went well, and Loulan annexed several small countries around it.

The little princess can continue to live with the resources that her husband has exchanged for his exploits.

But the life she really wanted was delayed.

She often went to the poplar tree where the two people were separated, and took a small gift from her husband to tell her how much she missed him.

As the days passed, the negative effects of the war began to manifest themselves, and the resources brought in were far less than they were consumed.

Many people began to move their families, only the little princess was reluctant to go, and waited silently alone.

From a woman to an old woman, from black hair to white hair, some people say that her husband has died on the battlefield, but she does not believe it, and she has to wait under this poplar tree.

Finally, one day, the man would return from the end of the sand, put his arm around her shoulder, and whisper a word in her ear.

"It's hard work, I'm back. ”

......

In her dream, Xu Yan looked at the white-haired old woman with her sideburns blown by the wind and sand, and felt that the corners of her eyes were moist.

But in a trance, I heard the cry of the hillock.

Slowly opening her eyes, the moonlight outside filtered through the tent, allowing her to vaguely see that it was a hillock next to her face.

"Hmm, what's wrong, Xiaoqiu?" Xu Yan unzipped her sleeping bag and reached out to touch Xiaoqiu, thinking it was hungry.

Xiaoqiu dodged her hand and turned her head to Yang Yang's side.

Xu Yan felt as if something was wrong, and quickly took out her mobile phone to illuminate.

Yang Yang was still asleep, but his brows were furrowed, and he looked very uncomfortable.

Xu Yan put her forehead on Yang Yang's forehead.

It's hot!

"Yang Yang, wake up, do you have a fever!"

Xu Yan shook Yang Yang, but there was no reaction for a long time, which made her anxious.

This is an ancient river in the desert, and the nearest hospital is a few hours drive away, and she doesn't know the road at all, she can't navigate without a mobile phone signal, and there are no street light signs, so a few hours may not be enough.

"Husband, don't scare me, Xiaoyu can't live without her father!" Xu Yan was so anxious that tears fell, and she suddenly remembered that there was emergency cold medicine in the car.

She hurriedly unzipped Yang Yang's sleeping bag, took out the car keys from Yang Yang's trouser pocket, and wanted to go to the car to get them.

As soon as she rushed out of the tent, she was greeted by a cold wind, and Xu Yan felt that her cold hair stood up in an instant, but she didn't have time to tremble, so it was important to hurry up and take medicine to save her husband.

After looking for it in the car in a mess, Xu Yan even closed the door and hurriedly returned to the tent with medicine and mineral water.

But when she arrived at the tent, she found that the mineral water was frozen all night, and she couldn't give Yang Yang to drink it like this. ，

And you have to help Yang Yang up first, otherwise if you lie down and drink water, the water will easily flow into the trachea, and you won't be able to drink it at all.

After thinking about this, Xu Yan took a sip of mineral spring, put Yang Yang's head on her thigh, first stuffed the medicine into his mouth, and used the warm water in her mouth to cross it into his mouth through his mouth.

After doing so a few times.

Yang Yang seemed to have a little consciousness.

"Water... Nope..."

"Huh?"

Xu Yan thought that Yang Yang was going to drink water, and was about to take another sip of water to feed him, when she heard that he seemed to have something behind him, so she put her ear to his mouth and wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Xinlan, I'm back. ”

I can't believe my ears, isn't this the name of the little princess in her dreams!

Xu Yanzhi was stunned, but gradually her gaze became soft, and a teardrop overflowed from the corner of her eye.

Completely unzipping the sleeping bag, Xu Yan squeezed herself into the sleeping bag, and then hugged Yang Yang tightly inside.

With her head resting on her shoulder, Xu Yan closed her eyes and responded gently:

"Luo, welcome back, I've finally waited for you. ”

As the two of them fall asleep in one sleeping bag, the hillock snorts and hides in the other.

It was still dark outside, and a meteor streaked across the sky.

The two poplar leaves that fell on the tent were blown up by the early morning wind and disappeared.
