Chapter 223: The Ancient Kingdom of Yelang (8)
Continue to move forward in the desert, and the vastness lies ahead.
Although the sun is not visible in this sky, the sky is covered with sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the vast desert, turning the entire desert into a kind of red.
As we continued to move forward, I suddenly saw two figures in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Instead of riding on camels, the two figures walked on foot in the desert.
In the afterglow, we saw the two of them, and the two of them saw our army.
It was a couple or a couple, and when I saw these two people, I guessed the identities of both of them.
Sure enough, after some self-introduction by the two, they were indeed a newlywed.
The purpose of their coming here is very simple, to fulfill a promise they made when they were in love.
They agreed not to have a wedding on the day they got married, but to go on a wedding trip in the desert.
I didn't expect this couple to be quite romantic.
During the conversation, we learned that the couple had entered the desert three days earlier, and that their desert journey was not over yet.
During the conversation, the young couple told us that there was an oasis ahead of us and that we could go to fetch water if we were short of water.
Originally, we were going to camp here, too, and the young couple naturally set up a tent next to us.
Taking advantage of the darkness to make a tent is not only the advice given to us by this young couple, but also the advice given to us by Wanda.
It wasn't yet dark when the tent was pitched. At this time, let's also take a look here.
The three Wanda brothers said they were going to smoke elsewhere, and I knew that these three guys must have gone to whisper.
The five of us didn't ride camels, but walked aimlessly in the desert.
"The city that Wanda said before was blown from the depths of the desert by a sandstorm should be a city in the country of Yelang. ”
Qin Yue was the first to speak to us.
I have no objection to what Wanda said.
"Boss, in this way, this Yelang country should be in this desert, in this case, it shouldn't be difficult to find a country. ”
"I don't know yet, we're only on the edge of the desert now, and we can't be sure until we get to the center of the desert. ”
While the five of us were exchanging ideas, the little couple stopped us behind us.
"Are you going to see the oasis? The water is clear and sweet. ”
Qin Yue rejected the invitation of the young couple.
This young couple did not show any dissatisfaction because of Qin Yue's refusal.
"Then we'll go. ”
The young couple left hand in hand.
And Qin Yue also squatted down on the spot.
Putting his hand into the fine sand under his feet, I saw that Qin Yue's brows were also furrowed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Qin Yue's expression, I also asked with a worried face.
"They just said oasis, but look at the sand under our feet. ”
Hearing Qin Yue's words, we all squatted down.
Hesheri Diana scooped up a handful of sand and asked Qin Yue with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong with the boss, does this sand have any direct relationship with the oasis?"
"Yes!"
It was not Qin Yue who answered Hesheridina, but Gu Yicheng.
"Although we have never been to the desert, don't you feel any difference in the sand under our feet?"
"What's the difference?"
Hearing Gu Yicheng's words, I was also puzzled and asked.
"Put your hand in. ”
Gu Yicheng didn't answer me directly, but asked me to do it.
Hesheri Dina and I did as Gu Yicheng said.
When I put my hand in the sand, I finally felt the difference.
"According to common sense, the deeper the sand, the cooler it should be, but here it is the other way around, the more my hand is stretched in, the hotter the sand becomes, not only the hotter, but also the drier. ”
Hesheridina said what I wanted to say.
"Also, the couple had mentioned the oasis to us more than once, and since it was an oasis, the water in the oasis would inevitably affect the surrounding sand, but there didn't seem to be any chemical effect between the two. ”
Although this is a dispensable discovery, each of us has this discovery firmly in our hearts.
By the time we walked back to the camp, the three of them had returned.
It was dark, but the young couple didn't come back.
We waited for the little couple for a while, but we still didn't wait for the little couple in this dark desert.
"Why don't we go and find out?" I proposed to Qin Yue.
Although we and this young couple can be regarded as only two sides of the relationship, but these two people have not come back at this time, so it makes sense that we should all go to find them.
"Good!"
Qin Yue accepted my proposal.
Since you have to find someone, someone has to stay and watch these three guys.
In the end, the task left behind fell on Gu Yicheng and Hesheri Daina.
By me, Qin Yue, Gou Tang, and the three of us went to find the little couple with flashlights.
Although we had never been to the oasis, the young couple had shown us the direction of the oasis.
In this direction, the three of us also quickened our pace.
After walking for about half an hour on the yellow sand under our feet, we finally saw the oasis that the little couple had mentioned before.
This oasis sits at our feet, and where we stand at the moment is a sand dune.
Standing on the sand dunes, the three of us cast the light of our flashlights downward.
But we didn't see the young couple in the oasis below.
"There's something there. ”
Gou Tang hit the flashlight on a spot next to the oasis and then said to us.
"Go down and have a look. ”
The three of us ran down the sand dunes in one go.
When we ran to the place where Gou Tang had been lit before, we saw a silk scarf on the ground by the light of a flashlight.
The scarf was wet, and all three of us had seen it before.
"It's the woman's silk scarf. ”
Gou Tang picked up the silk scarf from the ground and said to us.
"Judging by the shape of the floor, this silk scarf should have been blown off the woman's neck by the wind, and now there is no wind here, I think this silk scarf should have fallen off during her running. ”
"I'm looking to see what else I can find. ”
Qin Yue seemed extremely calm, and her analysis was reasonable.
There is indeed no wind here, and the silk scarf can only fall as mentioned by Qin Yue.
Whether the young couple is chasing each other or running in the real sense of the word are two very different outcomes.
And apart from this oasis, there is a bare desert as far as the eye can see.
If they run away, or run deeper into the desert, then we can't find them at all.
After some searching, we still found no trace of the young couple.
How could these two people have disappeared for no reason?
Since we didn't find it, we had to go back the way we came.
But when we returned to the camp, the three of us were shocked to find that the young couple we were looking for were chatting with Gu Yicheng and Hesheridina.
When I saw this young couple, my first reaction was not to go up and reprimand them where they had just gone, but when and where did they come back?
"We just went for a walk in the oasis and picked up a silk scarf, you see if it's yours. ”
Qin Yue walked towards the woman and showed the silk scarf in her hand in front of the woman.
Walk?
Hearing Qin Yue's words, although I was surprised, I didn't show it.
"Well, it's mine. The woman took the silk scarf in Qin Yue's hand and expressed her gratitude to Qin Yue.
Qin Yue just nodded lightly to the woman and didn't speak again.
Seeing us return, the young couple entered their tent after saying some inconsequential things to Gu Yicheng and Hesheridina.
I think Qin Yue seems to have seen something in this young couple, but it is inconvenient to tell us in this situation.
It's not convenient to say, but it can be done in other ways.
