The noon sun scorched the whole earth, and the Gobi Desert at this time was quiet, so quiet that it was suffocating, and occasionally a whirlwind rolled up a pillar of yellow sand and rose into the air.

It had been the second day since Liu Yusheng left the pond, and he found himself lost, wandering in the endless Gobi like a wandering ghost.

The sun had just come out in the morning, and just as he was about to set off, he saw a group of wild camels running towards him in the distance, perhaps a psychological shadow of the previous days, he saw that the camels instinctively thought of wolves, and he still saw the last thing he wanted to see, a group of wolves were chasing behind the camel herd, and a lone camel was already surrounded by wolves.

Liu Yusheng didn't think about it, he stood up and ran into the distance, he only now understood the mood of Xiao Liu and Xiao Hou at the beginning, and he didn't want to use all the strength in his body, and rushed in the direction of no wolves.

Maybe the wolves' attention was all on the wild camel that had been fenced, or maybe the direction in which Liu Yusheng was running had gone beyond the territory of the wolves, and they "mercifully" didn't catch up, so they let Liu Yusheng escape.

Liu Yusheng will not have the excitement and happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe now, because he threw all the water in the place where he rested in the morning.

Now he hadn't drunk water for almost seven or eight hours, and he felt like he was going to fall down at any moment, as if the sky had fallen, and he was carrying the whole world on his shoulders.

Liu Yusheng felt the sun shining on him, like a sharp sword cutting every part of his body, and he heard his heartbeat as if it was in his ears, and his throat seemed to be puffed by the dry powder of a fire extinguisher.

In the end, he still fell, he raised his head with difficulty and looked ahead, as if he saw a lake not far away, the lake water was very blue, the blue was pure, the blue was deep, and the blue was gentle and quiet, he wanted to stand up and walk a few steps, and integrate himself into that piece of blue, but he didn't even have the slightest strength in his body, and finally he even used up the strength to raise his head, and he lay on the vast Gobi with his face to the ground......

Wang Youmu had been away from Liu Yusheng for almost two days, and when he looked up at the scorching sun overhead, he sped up. He generally chooses to rest at noon, not that he is not in a hurry, but because he knows that he has no way, he must arrange his physical strength reasonably, the temperature at noon is too high, the water loss of the human body is fast, and there is a lot of water that needs to be replenished, he does not have much water so that he can squander it unscrupulously, he must be like this, otherwise he is afraid that if he can't even go out by himself, then what should Liu Yusheng and Xiao He do?

Wang Youmu walked to a relatively large Gobi stone, picked up a few small Gobi stones around, used these stones to make a "foundation", stood the wooden stick in his hand straight on the ground, and placed a stone at the apex of the shadow of the wooden stick.

He sat down and drank a sip of water, ate some dry food, and after about ten minutes, the shadow of the stick had moved some distance, and he put another stone at the apex of the new stick, and then he pulled the straight stick from the ground, and connected the two stones into a straight line, which he knew was pointing in the east-west direction, and he made a vertical line in this straight line, and this vertical line pointed to the north-south direction.

After verifying once again that one end of the perpendicular line was facing the sun, Wang Youmu began to pile up stones into an arrow, pointing in the direction of due north.

After doing all this, Liu Yusheng continued to move in the direction of the arrow, he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, although he understood that this was very slow, Xiao He and they didn't have so much time for him, but he understood better that these works must not be sloppy, and every step must not be opportunistic, otherwise he may not be able to save others, and he will be buried in this Gobi Desert.

Just stop and go, the sun is about to set, but Wang Youmu still hasn't found a place to stay at night, his surroundings look empty, which makes him worried, because the temperature in the Gobi will drop a lot at night, there is no place to cover how he can light a bonfire, how to guard against the beasts on the Gobi without a bonfire.

Suddenly, Wang Youmu felt that the weather had darkened all of a sudden, he turned his head to look to his left, the sun that was about to set in the west was covered by the yellow that covered the sky, and the yellow dragon rose in the distance, the sound was like a cow's roar, howling, and like a muffled thunder rolling, a trembling yellow line was rolling in his direction, Wang Youmu instinctively ran in the other direction and fled.

Sandstorm! Wang Youmu's heart was extremely cold, and before he could run far, he was swallowed by the yellow dragon.

He felt the wind whining in his ears, the stones on the ground were blown and rolled on the ground, and the sand and gravel raised by the wind kept hitting his face, like a knife cutting through his face, a gust of wind blew him directly to the ground, he lay on the ground tightly, suddenly he had a sharp pain in his head, and then the red liquid blurred his eyes, and he felt that his consciousness was blurred......

Wang Youmu slowly opened his eyes, he was lying in a mud house, the room was not big, except for a table and a few chairs, only the iron stove in the corner of the wall was left, and a carpet was hung on the wall facing him, Wang Youmu knew that the owner of the house should be a Uyghur.

At this time, he saw an old Uyghur man walk in, the old man was very thin, his dark face was full of wrinkles, his cheekbones were high, his two deep-set eyes were very bright, he looked very bright, and his gray beard made the old man look very kind.

"Are you awake, young man?" said the old man with a smile on his lips.

"Bois, thank you for saving me. Wang Youmu's voice replied with a slight weakness.

"Don't thank me, I don't dare to enter that sea of death, it was my son who saved you. ”

"Bois, thank you very much, anyway, your son, I want to thank him in person." Wang Youmu said as he sat up.

"Don't move, you have a wound on your head, don't move while you lie down!" said the old man, pressing Wang Youmu back onto the bed.

"My son went to the village to get you medicine, your head injury is very serious, the opening is very large, we don't have a doctor, I can only use the local method to treat you, you have been having a fever last night, my son said to ask the village doctor, find a way to let him come over, if it doesn't work, let the doctor prescribe some medicine for you." The old man said

"You are really fateful, yesterday afternoon there was a sandstorm, our little camel was lost, my son was looking for the camel, he saw you, otherwise you will be taken away by the wolf. The old man said.

"Bowa, how long have I been unconscious?" asked Wang Youmu anxiously.

"You've been in bed for a day and a night. The old man said.

"It's been so long!" Wang Youmu said and sat up suddenly, and suddenly he felt a wave of dizziness, and there was a pain in his head.

At this time, a Uyghur young man who looked about the same age as Xiao He walked in.

"This is my son, and he is the one who saved you. The old man said.

"Thank you, my name is Wang Youmu, I am from the Autonomous Region Geology and Mining Bureau, thank you really for saving me!" Wang Youmu said gratefully.

"My name is Adili, you're welcome, when I see your overalls, I know it's either the Mining Bureau or the Petroleum Bureau, and we have a lot of people like you here. The guy said with a smile.

"Adili, I want to ask where this is, is it far from the county seat?" Wang Youmu asked impatiently.

"It's more than 100 kilometers away from the nearest county seat, by the way, I just went to the village to get medicine for you, you should drink it quickly." The young man said as he pulled out a paper bag from his pocket.

"Thank you, don't worry about this, then how far is the village you just said, and do you have a phone?" Wang Youmu continued to ask.

"No, it's only available in the county, and the village is an hour away by horse or camel from my house. ”

The young man replied.

Wang Youmu was a little desperate, originally he thought that if there was a phone, as long as he contacted the bureau, he could take the people who came to rescue Liu Yusheng and Xiao He as quickly as possible, but now it seems impossible, this place is so remote, and when the people in the bureau arrive, it will be too late.

"Adili, do you remember the place where you saved me that day?" asked Wang Youmu.

"I remember that, although it was a little out of the way, I had been there a few times. The guy said.

As soon as Wang Youmu heard this, he jumped off the bed at once, ran to the door in three steps and two steps, and said in his mouth

"Go, take me now. ”

But after running a few steps, he felt that it was dark in front of him, and the whole person was planted forward, and Adili, who was hurrying after him, helped him.

"You are injured, I asked the village doctor just now, and he said that you can't move, you have to rest," Wang Youmu said.

Helping Wang Youmu to the edge of the bed and sitting down again, Adili picked up the paper bag again and said, "You still drink the medicine and have a good rest." ”

"No, you must take me now, I still have two comrades trapped in the sea, I must go and rescue them. Wang Youmu said in a weak voice.

"But it's getting dark soon, how can you go to them, I'll go with you early tomorrow morning." Adili said.

Wang Youmu looked up at the dark sky outside the house, and he knew that he couldn't find the way when he went out now, so he could only talk about it after dawn tomorrow.

Wang Youmu was lying on the bed thinking about the sandstorm he encountered yesterday, it was the first time he encountered such a big sandstorm, you are really worried about Liu Yusheng and Xiao He, he told himself over and over again, since he was saved, then God also gave Liu Yusheng a chance to live, thinking about him and falling asleep like this......
