Qianzhou went all the way out of Luntai to the west, only to feel that the green in his eyes was getting less and less. At first, you can still see some weeds and trees, but at the end only a few half-withered low shrubs are still holding on.

I don't know how long I walked, as if I had crossed an invisible boundary, and the magnificent and magnificent scenery of the white desert was finally presented in front of Qianzhou's eyes.

Under the clear blue sky, the white grains of sand seem to have no end in sight. The blue and pure white divide the field of vision, and the reflected sunlight is dizzying.

At first sight, no one would think that this is a desert.

Like an eternal snow-capped mountain, white pours in from all directions, forming peaks and drawing ridges. It was like a snow-white wave surging, and the breeze blew thousands of sand particles to rise and fall at the same time, forming wave-like traces, as if to push the continuous mountains in front of you.

Such a majestic scenery made Qianzhou feel awe—what he saw so far was only the tip of the iceberg of the white desert, the gentlest and most harmless mask to show the world. The fangs in its depths have been hidden, silently waiting for the visitor in the no-man's zone.

"How, such a view of Bai Mo?" Jiang Qinghan asked, "I've only seen it in photos and books before. ”

"Alone in the silver millet field, step by step jade sand. Qianzhou sighed, "The paper is shallow, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I probably wouldn't have imagined that there was such a strange scene in the world." ”

After speaking, Qianzhou leaned down and grabbed a handful of white sand with his hands.

The hot sand does not feel rough when you start it, but has a warm feeling of jade, and you can't find a little variegated color when you look closely. Qianzhou let go slightly, and the snow-white sand grains flowed through his fingers and made a "rustling" sound, just like the days of circulation.

"Okay, you two literati should wait and sigh later. There's still a long way to go. Jiang Xuance led the camel and urged.

Among the several people, Pei Xing's face was embarrassed: "My prosthetic limb has not been repaired yet, I'm afraid that there will be sand particles seeping into it." ”

But there was no good way for a while, Pei Xing could only wrap the sleeve of his left hand around a few strips of cloth, tight and tight.

In this way, the four young people braved the wind and sand into this beautiful and dangerous desert. Perhaps it is precisely because of their youth that they can walk so calmly and regardless of the future.

It is probably because the sand particles reflect the sunlight, and the temperature rises significantly after walking into the white desert. The tingling sensation coming from his skin reminded Qian Zhou of the painful memory of grabbing the soldering iron with his bare hands when he was a child.

When I think about it now, I still feel a dull pain in my fingertips.

The weather was so bright that it looked like a monotonous oil painting with only blue, and the people walked for hours without even a gust of wind. You can only breathe the hot air into your lungs, and then exhale slowly against the burning pain, taking away the precious water.

For the first time, Qianzhou discovered that even breathing could become a kind of torture.

Fortunately, several people are extraordinary and have endurance far beyond ordinary people, otherwise walking in the heat of fifty degrees would be a life and death.

The high temperature made the four of them have no desire to talk, and they just repeat the action of walking mechanically.

Until the evening comes, the setting sun renders the snow-white desert with an orange-red glow. The four of them finished their trip for the day, lit a bonfire and began to repair.

After dinner, several people agreed to keep vigil, with Jiang Xuance and Pei Xing keeping watch in the first half of the night, and handing it over to Qianzhou and Jiang Qinghan in the second half of the night.

............

By the time Jiang Qinghan woke up and came out of the tent, Qianzhou had already changed shifts with Jiang Xuance. is sitting by the campfire and chatting with Pei Xing.

To be precise, Qianzhou was talking, and Pei Xing, who was not good at words, just listened quietly.

Jiang Qinghan approached and heard Qianzhou say:

"But he said that Naruda, stepped forward and made the 'Seventy-two Changes', picked up the sandbag and hit Zheng Tu's face straight and straight, the blood flowed, and his nose was crooked to the side, breaking his three-zhang golden body. ”

"Zheng Tu couldn't struggle, and the three-pointed two-edged halberd was also thrown aside, and he only shouted: 'Good fight!' Luda scolded: 'Straight lady thief! Dare to respond!' When he raised his fist, he only punched the eyebrows between his eyes, and the cracks in his eyes were cracked, and black beads burst out, as if he had knocked over a sorting bucket of wet garbage......

Such a nonsense story also made Pei Xing stunned for a while, and listened attentively.

Jiang Qinghan chuckled lightly and beckoned Pei Xing to rest, while he sat opposite Qianzhou: "What did you just talk about? ”

The firelight reflected the girl's delicate face, just like the fairy in the painting walked into the world. But the girl is a little more human than the fairy, and she can reach it with her hand.

"We were just talking about the moonlight in the desert. Qianzhou said seriously.

The topics of the same sex and the opposite sex are absolutely different.

"Then how are you talking?" Jiang Qinghan rested his chin on his knees, tilted his head slightly, and did not expose Qianzhou's lies.

"Let's talk about this white desert, 'thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Talk about this 'desert is lonely and straight, the sun sets on the long river'; talk about this 'desert sand is like snow, Yanshan and the moon are like hooks'. Qianzhou also came as soon as he opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to maintain his image in front of the girl.

Although he also knows that he may not have an image to speak of.

Jiang Qinghan smiled "fluttering", and Qianzhou only felt that his cheeks were hot. Maybe it's too close to the campfire?

"Actually, I'd rather talk about you. Jiang Qinghan looked at Qianzhou, his amber eyes were like cats, "I still don't know anything about you, your past, your whereabouts, and what happened before you came to Luntai." ”

"I ......" Qianzhou's words got stuck in his throat.

What should I say? "People outside the book, things between books", or is it a strange journey that I have walked in Yundu?

"I'm sorry, I haven't figured out what to say. Qianzhou lowered his head slightly.

There are so many secrets and stories that I have suppressed in my heart, but I am not ready to share them with others. There are some things that can only be carried alone for the time being.

"I can wait. Jiang Qinghan was kind and didn't dwell on this issue, "If it comes to the day when you can't carry it, please tell me." You're not alone, either. ”

"I will. Qianzhou met the girl's eyes, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Around the bonfire in the desert, teenagers and girls sat together, witnessing the bright moon and starry sky. Watching the soft starlight swim from the sky, shining this lonely desert.

Suddenly, a slight vibration from the sand interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Looks like we're going to have to stop our small talk for a moment. Qianzhou stood up and stretched.

"I know, after all, '10 million walking'. Do you need my help?" Jiang Qinghan asked.

"No need. Qianzhou smiled confidently, "It's just a small role." Those who seek profit without purpose will inevitably not be able to go far. ”

"Here we go again. Jiang Qinghan muttered in a low voice, "It's such a glowing gesture again." ”

Of course, Qianzhou didn't hear it.
