Lin Raorao's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Long Qing, obviously not expecting that the master, who had always been very kind to her, would say such a thing.

But Long Qing just looked at Zhao Yan quietly, without the slightest intention of joking.

Zhao Yan glanced at Long Qing, was silent for a moment, and then nodded, "I understand, Master." ”

"Just understand, let's go, Rao Rao and I are waiting for you over there. ”

Zhao Yan nodded, got out of the car with her backpack, and then went into the long yellow sand.

After watching Zhao Yan's back slowly move away, Lin Raojiao said, "Master, if Senior Sister doesn't fulfill your requirements, will you really expel her from the Master's Gate?"

Long Qing said lightly: "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase. ”

"But ......" Lin Raojiao stopped talking, she still had a hard time understanding Long Qing's decision, but she didn't know where to question it.

"Rao, you will face the same test in the future, and when the time comes, my requirements for you will be the same, even higher. Let's go, it's time for us to go. "Long Qingdao.

Lin Raorao glanced back at the direction where Zhao Yan had gone, the tall and graceful figure had long since disappeared, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a long stretch of yellow sand.

Long Qing drove the car and took Lin Raorao around the desert from the side and arrived at the designated place. Because of a big detour, the mileage of the whole journey is more than 200 kilometers, and it takes more than three hours for two people to sit in the car.

Along the way, the sun was scorching hotter than it was yesterday. Although she was sitting in a tourist bus, covered by a canopy, and the wind was still blowing on all sides, Lin Raorao still felt that it was very hot. Under the high speed of the car, a hot wind blew in front of him, as if a huge hair dryer was blowing at his whole person. After a while, Lin Raorao sweated like rain and was soaked.

When she was bored on the way, Lin Raorao took out her mobile phone and looked at the matters that should be paid attention to on trekking through the desert, and saw that when the temperature in the desert was high in summer, because of the scorching yellow sand, it could reach more than 70 degrees Celsius, Lin Raorao was completely stunned. The high temperature of 70 degrees Celsius Lin Raorao has experienced, it is the highest temperature available for sauna steaming in the sauna hall, Lin Raorao only went in for a few seconds and ran out quickly. I almost felt like I was going to be incinerated inside. Lin Raojiao really couldn't imagine how her senior sister should live in this temperature, not to mention, she still had a hundred kilometers of road to catch up.

"Master," Lin Raorao cried, "Senior sister, will she really be okay?"

Long Qing was silent, and said after a while: "Your senior sister is a person with great ambitions, she wants to obtain the same force as her own will, in addition to hard work, it is necessary to experience life and death, although this is my choice, in fact, it is also her own choice." ”

Lin Raorao said with some hesitation: "But, if the senior sister ...... three days later Where do we go to find her, the desert is too big, I'm afraid we won't be in time. ”

Long Qing said: "Don't worry, as long as he follows the direction of the compass and does not deviate from the route, I will definitely find her, I have walked this road more than once, and I am very familiar with it." ”

Lin Raorao was a little surprised: "Master, you have also walked this way?"

Long Qing smiled: "Of course. It's just a little old. After speaking, Long Qing's eyes fell on the desert, and gradually, in his eyes, some blurry pictures slowly became clear:

In the endless yellow sand, there are soaring heat waves everywhere, and in such a difficult environment, there are a group of small children trekking hard in the yellow sand. This group of children is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, the youngest is only twelve or thirteen years old, a total of nearly 100 people, as the journey progresses, more and more people continue to go down, when they reach the halfway distance, there are only more than 50 people who can continue to hold on.

A desert car passed back and forth around the children, and in the desert car, a loudspeaker constantly played a rough and fierce voice: "Remember, you only have three days, and those who do not arrive at the specified time will all be eliminated, and you know what the consequences will be after being eliminated." It's only a day and a half now, and you damn it's only halfway there......"

Of the more than fifty children, one was exceptionally thin. But he kept walking at the front of the line, the thin child held his hand, his sharp nails pierced into his palm, and kept muttering to himself: "I can, I can, I have to find my father, find my mother, find my sister, I can, I can ......"

Long Qing no longer remembered how he got out of the desert, and he completely forgot what happened after he walked out of the desert, he only remembered that his later results were the first, and he was the first to go out.

"Master, Master?" Lin Raorao's soft call came to her ears, and Long Qing suddenly came back to her senses from her memories. I lost my mind just now, but fortunately, this section of the road is long and straight, and the traffic flow is very small, otherwise I am afraid that a car accident would have occurred a long time ago.

"Master, do you remember something?" asked Lin Raojiao.

"Well, I remembered some experiences from my teenage years. ”

"Can you tell me about it?" asked Lin Raojiao with interest.

Long Qing smiled and shook his head: "It's not a good memory, don't say it." ”

Lin Raorao sat back with some disappointment.

When the two arrived at their destination, it was past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the hottest time of the day had already begun, and when they were eating at the small restaurant in the town, the thermometer inside showed that the temperature was as high as 43 degrees Celsius.

Lin Raorao ate two bites, but suddenly couldn't eat anymore, her eyes slowly turned red, and then the bean-sized tears slowly drooped down. Long Qing knew that she probably thought of her senior sister Zhao Yan, who was suffering in the desert.

"Don't worry, today is the first day, and your senior sister will be fine. Long Qing comforted softly.

"But what about tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow...... Lin Raojiao choked up, "Master, senior sister, will she really be fine?"

Long Qing said in a deep voice: "You have to believe in her, you have to have faith in her." Your senior sister, like you, has much stronger willpower than ordinary people, which is why I accepted her as an apprentice. ”

Lin Raorao said a little unconfidently: "However, I think it is difficult for me to pass such a test." ”

Long Qing shook his head and said, "If you don't put yourself in that environment one day, you don't know where your limits are, which is one of the reasons for such a test." ”

After eating, the two found a hotel with very good conditions and stayed, with a shower and air conditioning in the room, which was very comfortable. However, it was difficult for Zhao Yan, who was seventy or eighty kilometers away, to imagine this kind of comfort.
