When Yunxi woke up, the fire in the cave had been extinguished, and everyone was asleep, almost no sound except for the sound of snoring one after another.

She looked silently overhead, her eyes dark, but she kept her eyes open, as if she could see something else through the darkness.

No one knew what she was thinking at this time, and perhaps, at this time, no one in this cave knew that she was awake now, except for the man who was pillowing her knees right now.

After sleeping for most of the night, she obviously felt that the muscles of the person on the pillow were a little stiff, and she was about to change positions, but he stopped her halfway.

The hand, gently resting on her chin, was only a gentle stroke, not spoken, but there was a faint care and indulgence.

She sighed softly, tilted her head, and leaned into his arms in a more comfortable position.

He hugged her tighter, shielding her from the unbearable cold of the second half of the night.

There was no such thing as his characteristic magnetic voice in the air, but she could clearly feel the corners of his mouth that almost chuckled.

"Ahem" -

A muffled cough was heard at the foot of the wall.

It was like being stuffed in the chest, low and deep, and there was a vague shortness of breath.

Yunxi frowned, and his eyes slowly drooped. This voice is too familiar to her. There was no light, and she knew who it was.

At first, it was just two suppressed coughs, but then the frequency became more and more intense.

She vaguely felt a little ridiculous, Xiao Ran, the pride of the sky and the dustless under his eyes, once upon a time, even suppressed his cough like this. But before the sneer could bloom, it disappeared.

Time is really ironic, when she gave everything for her, all she got was his unscrupulous discard, and now, he endured it for her, but she didn't feel the slightest happiness.

She touched the clothes under her, and her eyes shone slightly.

The coughing gradually became quieter, as if someone had forced it down, and in the dark room, the snoring changed back to the main theme.

Qiao Zimo clenched her hand and slowly rubbed her soft hair, and with the sound of the room, she gradually fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, it was already clear again.

A group of photographers have lit a fire and are ready to start hot food. Because of the limited water supply, everyone just put the dry food close to the fire, roasted it so-so, and stuffed it into their mouths.

Yunxi and Qiao Zimo got a little bit of jerky, which was already the greatest kindness and generosity of the other party. Thanking them softly, everyone began to eat. It's just that it was completely different from eating in the White Desert yesterday, this time, everyone was silent, the atmosphere was solemn, and there was no joy and joy again.

Yunxi's gaze turned slightly, and he saw Xiao Ran half-leaning against the wall.

His face was already a little blue, and there was a little black under his eyes, and he obviously hadn't slept all night. The driver worriedly brought the dry food to his mouth, but he just took it, took two bites, and shook his head as if he could no longer eat them.

He seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly looked in the direction of Yunxi, and collided with her gaze.

Yunxi didn't have any expression, his gaze was not affected in the slightest, he just watched his gaze become more and more deep and ethereal.

He smiled and gently covered his pale lips with the back of his hand: "I'm fine." ”

She only nodded, and there was no other reaction, and the face of the driver who was guarding the side was blue and white, but he didn't dare to speak because of his identity, so he had to close his eyes fiercely, pretending that he didn't see anything.

Xiao Ran coughed twice more in a suppressed manner, wearing only a thin cardigan on his body, and then only a shirt inside, he was in a hurry when he came to Egypt, and he didn't prepare any clothes, and the only thick clothes were now under Yunxi's body, and the low temperature all night was unbearable for even a healthy person.

Seeing that he was coughing, even the corners of his eyes were a little blue, and his whole temperament was like a cold and hard ice thorn, but it made people feel unbearable, and someone opened his mouth: "Isn't it uncomfortable?" Come, roast around the fire. ”

The driver quickly thanked him, helped Xiao Ran and sat by the fire.

Qiao Zimo took off his clothes and was about to hand them over in a blink of an eye, but the clothes stopped in mid-air, and no one took them.

This moment. The things that everyone deliberately ignored became more and more conspicuous, and some people looked at Yunxi and shook their heads meaningfully, but they felt more and more embarrassed in the air.

Qiao Zimo smiled softly: "Xiao Gongzi will not be playing bitter tricks. I don't know when this wind and sand will stop, in case your illness will not be cured for a while, it is we who will suffer. ”

Xiao Ran's gaze paused slightly, his gaze swept over Yunxi's body like a dragonfly, and then he stretched out his hand, took Qiao Zimo's clothes, and sat quietly by the fire.

The firelight imprinted a warm impression on his cold face, but he seemed to be focused on the leaping flame, and did not look in the direction of Yunxi again.

With his pride and self-esteem, he could accept Qiao Zimo's help, Yunxi pursed his lips, this was already his maximum tolerance. When did he actually change, and the temperament that looked down on the world could now be turned around?

Yunxi gently put a small piece of jerky into his mouth, and the aroma of meat in his mouth brought out a trace of fishy smell, and just when the atmosphere in the whole cave became more and more sluggish, he heard the guide shout in ecstasy: "It's about to stop!" The wind and sand are stopping! ”

Everyone looked at him in disbelief, as if incredulous. The sound of the wind and sand in his ears still did not stop, but the guide's expression was clearly full of surprise.

The guide, however, ignored anyone's reaction, and fell directly to his knees, chanting in his mouth, thanking Allah and the heavens.

Sure enough, after half an hour, the wind outside was much quieter, and the sound of lapping on the walls gradually slowed down, as if the whole whistling desert began to gradually quiet down.

The people in the photography team clapped their hands and celebrated, their faces full of gratitude and excitement for surviving the catastrophe: "I don't die in the catastrophe, God, I thought my life was going to be confessed here." ”

The rest of the people were also cheering, and by the fire, Xiao Ran was the only one, silent and unrecognizable.

"Wait, everybody." Seeing that someone was about to move the wooden door, the guide quickly stood up, "Although the wind and sand are a little smaller now, it may not be safe to go out now." After so many years of walking in the desert, he had seen many people who claimed to have escaped, but finally left their lives on this land.

The people who were in a hurry to leave quickly after taking advantage of the wind and sand immediately died down and found a seat to sit down.

Seeing that Xiao Ran was alone and sat there motionless, although his face was still cold, but there was a trace of warmth in his eyes, and the person who handed him dry food couldn't help but ask: "What are you going to do when you run so far to the desert?" ”

"Find someone." To put it succinctly, when these two words were spoken, he had a little smile on his face.

The person who opened this conversation looked at Yunxi and Qiao Zimo, who were sitting very close, and vaguely understood, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so he was embarrassed to speak again. When others saw him, they seemed to be panicking, and hurriedly began to change the topic, and for a while, except for the driver who looked at Yunxi with an ugly face, the expressions of the rest of the people were very normal.

After about two hours, the guide leaned against the wall and listened carefully, and then carefully opened the gap in the wooden door, and at last, with a cry of joy: "All right, all right, you can go!" ”

This sound was like a signal of revelry, and all the people trapped in the cave immediately got up with a grunt, and did not bother to pack up the rest, took the most important things, extinguished the fire, and hurried out.

The guide touched it, and there was only a little dry food and water left in his body, but he did not hesitate to put it all in the corner. Everyone paused, remembering that when they came in yesterday, the food in the cave immediately followed the guide's example and put down all the food on their bodies. From here to leave and return to the city, the nearest estimate is only four or five hours, and now that the wind and sand have stopped, it is basically impossible to get lost. They were rescued here because of the help of their predecessors, and this gratitude should be passed on.

Yunxi glanced at the black robe that was on the ground, her eyes moved slightly, but Xiao Ran suddenly turned around at this moment, as if she knew what she was thinking, and said quietly: "Leave it in the cave." ”

After that, he handed back the clothes on his body to Qiao Zimo, wearing thin clothes, and walked outside the door: "I have something I want to talk to you about alone," his tone paused, and he seemed to hesitate for a while, "Is it okay?" ”

Looking at the wry smile on his face, Yunxi gently shook Qiao Zimo's hand and followed him out with a calm face.

When I came out, I found that the moon was already high, and it was already night.

Qiao Zimo stood in front of her, helped her block the fine sand and rolling stones, led her to turn around, and stopped on the other side of the cave.

"I know you don't want me to be in front of you again, but I still can't help it. In those years of getting along day and night, we were with each other day and night in the company, have you really forgotten it? He lowered his head and quietly looked at the moonlight that was becoming more and more hazy and distant, and only felt that the sullen and irreconcilable feelings in his heart were so contradictory and soft.

"As I said, I can't go back to now." When he couldn't ask for it, he tossed and turned, and sent his most precious piece to him with full eyes and eyes, and he abandoned it. Now, she doesn't want it, but he thinks about it and refuses to give up. In this world, there is indeed a cycle of cause and effect.

He looked at her deeply, looking at the tips of her soft hair, all night last night, in the dark, he remembered over and over again the scene when Qiao Zimo hugged her into his arms, his eyes were dark, his eyes were cold, but he slowly said five words: "I won't let go." ”

She looked up, her cool gaze seemed to carry a magical power, indifferent and wanton: "That's your business." "What does it have to do with her?

After speaking, he turned around, walked through the layers of sand and stones, walked to Qiao Zimo who was standing beside the car, and got into the car in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Ran looked at her back and slowly closed her eyes. At this time, the driver couldn't help but gently lift the sand on the ground, and the eyes that had just been closed were like a sharp sword, quickly unsheathed. In an instant, the driver's face turned pale.

Without saying a word, he turned and walked towards his car.

The driver kept his mouth shut and followed the convoy all the way, and after five hours, the crew arrived at their destination and everyone parted ways .......
