Chapter 40: Born in Retrograde Direction (2)

The desert is barren and smoky, and it is difficult to grow an inch of grass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the northern desert in autumn, the scorching sun is as old as ever. The scorching temperature bakes the golden sand, the scorching light of fire moves slightly, and the ethereal light and shadow sway in the wind in the distance, like a mirage.

A man and a camel walked slowly under the scorching sun, like a speck of dust falling on the earth, without a trace.

Duan Chengcheng raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and the scorching sun had already fallen to the west. In another half an hour, the vast desert will be completely plunged into darkness.

The sound of camel bells gradually approached from behind, the yellow sand was soft, and the sound of camel hooves was also extremely soft, but it could fall into Duan Qingcheng's ears, but it was also clearly recognizable.

A hint of alarm rose in her heart, and she stopped, turning to look behind her. After a little leaning, far away, I saw someone walking against the light, and the scorching wind stirred the man to wear a moon-white robe, flying picturesquely.

Her eyebrows twisted slightly, but her heart was already very clear, that figure was familiar to her, who else could there be besides Shen Yu? Seeing that she stopped, Shen Yu caught up in a moment, and jumped off the camel in front of her.

"Why don't you leave, are you waiting for me?" Shen Yu looked at her with an inexplicable smile.

Duan Chengcheng was a little helpless, "I really don't know what to say about you......"

"Then don't talk about it, anyway, my legs are on my own, and no one can stop me." He said.

"Wherever you go, if you want to die, no one will stop you." Duan Qingcheng turned away from him, only looked at the waning sun in the sky, his white clothes were light, and the hunt moved with the wind.

When Shen Yu heard her say this, he was happy for a while, "Can I be as if you are caring about me?" ”

"I don't have that much to spare......"

"Okay, okay, you can say anything." He restrained his teasing tone and looked at the gradually darkening sky, "But it's almost dark this day, can we still go?" ”

"Let's go."

"Okay!" As he spoke, Shen Yu had already flown on the hump, ready to continue on the road.

"Let's go, if you want to feed the sand wolf......" Duan Qingcheng tugged at the corner of his lips, turned back to look at him indifferently, and then led the camel to the place where there was a sand dune.

Shen Yu couldn't cry or laugh, he hurriedly chased after him again, "Duan Qingcheng, when did you learn from others and only speak halfway?" ”

"That's because you're having a problem with your comprehension, no wonder I." Duan Chengcheng didn't reply, just blindly walked forward, letting Shen Yu follow behind her, she didn't bother to ask him what his purpose was for following her, and it was vain to ask.

And she didn't think that there was any benefit to following her, since that was the case, let him follow, no matter what his intentions were, now he could only take one step at a time.

The sky soon sank into darkness, and into night, the sky was moonless, and the sky was full of stars.

The weather in the desert has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the night is the opposite of the day. There are often sand wolves in the desert at night, and the sound of wolf howls from time to time is even more chilling.

The breeze picks up tiny grains of sand and scatters them in the night sky. The two camels stood very close to their owners, and even when they heard the wolf's howl, there was no superfluous movement.

Duan Chengcheng half leaned on the sand dunes, looking at the starry sky alone, occasionally picking up a water bladder and taking two sips. Shen Yu sat bored, Duan Chengcheng barely spoke this night, only knew that he was looking at the stars in the sky in a daze, he had no one to speak, and he had no pastime, he was about to suffocate to death.

Duan Chengcheng turned his head to look at him, and when he saw him sitting still, he shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"If you move any more, the wolves should pounce." She said she threw the water bladder in her hand to him.

Shen Yu took the water bladder, with an uncertain expression, "Why are you giving me the water bladder?" I don't lack water......"

"Take a sip and maybe you'll be able to settle down." She said.

Shen Yu heard her say this, and looked at her a little suspiciously, can drinking water still make people feel at ease? Unless she drugged the water! But when he thought about it, he still poured a big sip without hesitation, but this mouthful almost choked him to tears.

"How is it wine?" He looked at the water bladder incredulously, and then raised his eyes to look at Duan Chengcheng.

Duan Qingcheng pouted, "What, you don't like it?" ”

"Like, how can you not like something so good?" He was happy, and after speaking, he poured another sip, and the aroma of wine overflowed in an instant, "Why didn't I think of bringing some wine on the road......

Duan Tingcheng watched him pour one bite at a time, according to his way of drinking, it would be a while to see the bottom, how would she live in the next few days?

"Save me a little." She frowned and said in a deep voice.

Shen Yu shook his head clearly, "Duan Chengcheng is, you really don't look like a woman......

Duan Chengcheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I'm not like a woman, are you like?" ”

Shen Yu almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, "You are like a woman, master, I am obviously a real man!" ”

"One moment it's like it, and the other time it's not like it, I really don't know what you're going to say......" Duan Chengcheng shook his head, seeing that he looked righteous and awe-inspiring, he pulled the corners of his lips lightly, and actually smiled slightly.

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the smile that suddenly bloomed on her face, he completely forgot that he had just dismantled his own stage.

More than ten years later, she is already the owner of the famous No. 1 village in the world, indifferent and ruthless, arrogant and resolute. The rivers and lakes all say that she is a demon and a Shura. , but she is still like ordinary people, she can laugh, and she smiles beautifully.

"Has anyone ever said that you look good when you smile?" He walked over and handed her back the sac, speaking in a softer tone.

She looked up at him, a hint of strangeness flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

"It's funny, let's keep it for the little girl......" She turned her eyes a little uncomfortably, and continued to look at the vast stars in the sky, but she couldn't help but think of another person, who seemed to have said the same thing.

"Alas...... I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me. Shen Yu sighed, suddenly feeling bored. He leaned against the sand dunes beside her, and followed her example, looking up at the stars.

The vast desert is full of barrenness.

But the beauty of the night sky in the desert is unattainable anywhere. The vast desert reflects the vast stars, and the heavenly river is endless, as if you are in a vast fairyland.

For the first time, Shen Yu felt that there was such a beautiful time in this desert. He had been to the desert before, but he had never seen this scenery so calmly.

He tilted his head slightly, looked at Duan Chengcheng with his eyes slightly closed, and smiled softly. She dominates the rivers and lakes, and she is a soldier every day, living a life of picking up her life on the knife edge.

Perhaps, she was only able to have this moment of peace when she was far away from that place of trouble.
