Chapter 2: Return to the City
On the other side of the desert, a disorganized woman was walking slowly with a travel bag and a small radio in her hand.
"Today... Meteorology.. Desert... Sandstorm, please.. Every... Brigade... Note... Self... security, and.. Only... The town... Avoid. ”
Fu Xue looked at the slowly approaching sandstorm not far away, and listened to the intermittent sound that suddenly came out of the radio, and instantly fell into an ice cave, and her face turned pale.
The sense of crisis that has been cultivated in the mall for a long time quickly calmed her down.
The common sense of the desert made her quickly open her travel backpack, put on her goggles, hide behind a windy sand and rock, and lie on the ground with her head buried in it, waiting for the sandstorm to pass.
An hour, or two hours, Fu Xue didn't remember, she only knew that she was half buried by the surrounding yellow sand.
The wind in my ears went from roaring to roaring to whispering.
On the horizon, the big sandstorm seemed to have passed, leaving only the yellow sand flying in the sky.
Fu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was still alive and was not completely buried by the yellow sand.
As the sun sets, the sun shines on it, and ten thousand points of light shine brightly.
Looking at the sky, she quickly got up, drank some water, regained some strength, and prepared to continue on her way.
Because it's getting dark, it means more unknown dangers are coming.
She had to find a place to shelter before it got dark and start a fire.
Suddenly, Fu Xue seemed to see something, and there seemed to be a black figure leaning in her direction in the ten thousand points of light.
What is that? Due to the wind and sand, Fu Xue couldn't see it very clearly, so she took out the binoculars in her backpack and hurriedly looked at it.
I saw that in the depths of the Gobi, in the wind and sand, a man wearing a Mao suit, bowing his head, facing the wind and sand, staggering, walking towards him step by step.
What is the situation? Fu Xue shook her head vigorously to avoid hallucinations and looked at it again.
It's the same scene, only this time, the man with his head down looks up and at himself.
Fu Xue stood on the sea of sand, unable to be calm in her heart, she quickly gathered her equipment, did not stop, and moved quickly in one direction.
The devil knows what it is, and I heard from the caravan that in the desert, all kinds of strange things can be encountered, so you must restrain your curiosity.
It was getting dark, and the last sunset was gone.
Fu Xue found a suitable habitat, lit a fire, and lay in her sleeping bag, eating food while studying the map in her hand.
If she continued like this, Fu Xue didn't know how long it would take to return to the border town before departure.
A few months ago she decided to go on a walk-and-go trip.
So she left a letter, and after leaving the group company suddenly, she turned off all means of communication and came here alone.
But a few days ago, the sudden appearance of quicksand separated him from the caravan.
Fu Xue didn't know how long she could last, there was not much water on her body, food was running out, and the damn radio seemed to be broken.
I don't know, what happened to my family and company, thinking about it, the tired Fu Xue fell asleep unconsciously.
"Smack!"
I don't know how long it took, Fu Xue was awakened by the burning branches in the fire.
When she opened her eyes in a daze, she suddenly saw a figure sitting by the fire not far from her, holding the map she had earlier, and just turned her head to look at her.
"Ahh
Fu Xue was frightened by this strange scene, and hurriedly got up and looked at each other vigilantly.
"You... Who are you?" Fu Xue felt that when she spoke, her whole body trembled unconsciously.
"Me?" Xia Ye looked at Fu Xue and asked rhetorically with a questioning tone.
Then he turned his head to look at the fire in front of him, took a withered branch and tossed it casually, thought about it seriously, and replied, "My name is Xia Ye." ”
Eh, what kind of answer is this? Fu Xue had no choice but to ask, "So...?"
"A guy who happened to be passing by. Xia Ye seemed to know what she was going to ask, and said in advance.
"Then you..."
"I came here after a sandstorm and saw you in the distance, and I think you need help. ”
"Why do you say that?"
After a few questions, Fu Xue was not so nervous compared to before, and slowly sat down in front of the fire.
Xia Ye glanced at Fu Xue, raised the map in his hand, and said, "You can't get out according to your route, you have already shifted, if you want to get out of the desert." ”
"Why do you say that? Fu Xue was a little unconvinced.
"I don't know, but my instincts tell me how to get out. The man gestured to his head.
Indeed, even he didn't know what was going on, as long as he thought about it, a vague map of the desert route would appear in his mind.
Otherwise, he would have been lost in the desert for half a month, and he would have died because of water and food.
Isn't intuition something exclusive to us girls?
Fu Xue began to subconsciously and slowly look at the man in front of her. As a professional elite in shopping malls, this is one of her basic qualities, to be good at observing your goals.
This mysterious man, judging by his face, should not be very old, he should be about the same as himself, in his twenties. With a beard, a face full of vicissitudes, a retro tunic suit, and the deep eyes looking at the firelight, a strong and simple atmosphere came to the face.
Well, this looks...
"Are you engaged in archaeology?" Fu Xue said cautiously.
"It's almost dawn, if you believe me, come along. ”
Natsuno didn't answer her, but got up, looked at the sky, and walked in the other direction.
Fu Xue didn't react for a moment, she was stunned for a few seconds, looked at the map, looked at the back in the distance, and after struggling in her heart for a few seconds, she put away her equipment and quickly followed.
It was getting brighter, and it was getting darker again.
After a whole day of non-stop travel, Fu Xue was physically and mentally exhausted, and every time she wanted to stop and rest, looking at the lonely back in front of her, she had to grit her teeth and insist on keeping up.
The man didn't say a word along the way, except for drinking water and eating, and some just walked silently.
"Hey. Let's hurry again tomorrow, it's getting dark, and the desert is dangerous at night. ”
Now she felt that she had reached the limit of her body, looking at Natsuno above the sand dunes.
"No, we're out. The man sighed slightly hoarsely.
After hearing this, Fu Xue was stunned for a moment, and quickly climbed up the sand dune, and as far as the eye could see, was the lively and brightly lit border town.
Fu Xue was pleasantly surprised, as if the joy of rebirth made her speed up her pace, and rushed to the foot of the mountain like the wind.
"Thank you. Fu Xue turned around and said, but found that there was no figure behind him.
"Remember not to come here again in the future. Not every time you can be so lucky".
Looking back suddenly, Fu Xue realized that the man was already in the dim light, waved his hand with his back to her, and walked towards the town.
"How did he get there?"
Fu Xue looked at the disappearing figure, and there was an inexplicable sense of loss.
She shook her head, told herself that she had thought too much, calmed down, and walked towards the hotel she had booked a few days ago.
