Chapter 28: Walking Through the Flaming Mountain

After the fright, the caravan continued on the road, but fortunately the cold wind was a little less in the second half of the night.

However, Tie Mo was more angry at Lao Xu's behavior of kneeling down to worship Changshengtian. The person was rescued by Meng Meng, what happened to Guan Changsheng?

The next day, when the sun was warmer, Xu Kui asked everyone to sleep in a relatively leeward place.

Tiemo was very tired, and as soon as the team stopped and ate something, he fell asleep with Meng Meng in his arms.

Meng Meng is very unhappy with Tiemo's rogue behavior of heating, but for the sake of more wine, she can only endure it temporarily.

I don't know when I fell asleep, I felt someone pat my cheek, and I reluctantly opened my eyes, and I saw a two-ha-mouthed face with a big tongue.

"What? If you dare to disturb Lao Tzu's sleep again, you will have no alcohol to drink in the future! ”

Meng Meng waved her wolf claws with an aggrieved face, and then Zhou Dingshan's voice came from behind her.

Zhou Dingshan lay beside him and carefully took out a piece of rope from his arms, "Brother Tie, look, this rope is broken." ”

"Huh?" Tiemo's sleeping insect immediately went to seven or eight points, carefully observed the fracture, and could almost conclude that the rope was cut by a sharp weapon, "Tsk, I just said how the rope was broken, and it happened to be Chang Minyue's people who fell behind." ”

"What do we do now?"

"Pretend not to know first, and wait until everything is out of the desert. Secretly inform the brothers and keep an eye on it. ”

When I lay down again, I couldn't sleep.

Why did Chang Minyue leave the big team, and what secrets are hidden in it?

......

In the next few days, the road ahead was still difficult, but fortunately, there were no more people left behind.

Under the cold wind, the sand was like a knife, and the machinery was rushing to the road, but Zhou Dingshan's cry sounded behind him.

In the northern desert, there has never been a fluke, I thought that Changsheng innocently favored his people, but after a few days, there were still people who couldn't bear it.

The first to fall was Zhou Pu, one of Zhou Dingshan's three senior brothers, and Zhou Pu was a little unwell the next day, but the team couldn't stop, so he could only keep going, but in the end he still fell.

The Chang family camel team took a Lang Zhong, who checked the situation in Xia Zhoupu and shook his head gently.

"It's gone, put this brother down!"

Zhou Dingshan was a little reluctant after all, even unwilling. Senior Brother Zhou Pu has fought so many times, but he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died under the cold wind and sand.

Man can kill, but he cannot conquer heaven!

In the dark night, Zhou Dingshan untied the rope tied to Zhou Pu's waist with his own hands, and then cut off one of Zhou Pu's fingers and carefully wrapped it in his arms.

In less than a month, from Daqing Mountain to the Great Northern Desert, Zhou Dingshan has already faded from immaturity after several fights and cruel tempering, and his face has a little more fortitude and maturity.

Wiping away his tears, he kowtowed a few times at Zhou Pu's corpse.

The caravan moved forward again, and the people who were accustomed to death had long been numb, only the sound of camel bells was incessant, as if to pay tribute to the souls of those who had no home.

.....

Sunrise and sunset, the wind and sand sweep, the time in the desert seems to be endless. The biting cold burned the blood in the body.

Tiemo only felt that his soul was getting more and more irritable, and in the face of the wild sand of the world, he really wanted to fight.

Raise the machete and angrily head to the northwest, but it's a pity that the heavens and the earth are mighty, and you can't even find an enemy.

Confused, helpless, only keep moving forward.

It's ridiculous that some people actually sing the praises of the long smoke and sunset in the desert, hehe, most of the people who sing about the desert since ancient times are those literati hiding in honeypots, right?

All living beings, people who stand on high places.

Can you ever know that the frost and snow are ruthless, the desert is like a knife, and how many people's dreams are buried.

Can you ever know that the quicksand is all over the sky, covered with wind and dust, and buried the lives of several generations.

The desert has no romance and grandeur.

The desert is the devil and the abyss.

.......

The road is difficult, but there is still a way forward.

Life is not endless, the battle is endless.

After a few days, the wind and sand weakened, and the sunlight became much clearer, at least the sky was no longer cloudy, and as far as the eye could see, there was a hundred feet ahead.

Fan Lao leaned his body and helped Xu Kui, and the two looked at the sunset in the distance, and suddenly let out a smirk.

"Huh..... ..... I'm finally going to get out of this hellish place......

"yes..... but lost four lives....."

"It's good that they didn't all die here!"

Listening to the conversation between Fan Lao Crooked and Xu Kui, I really don't know whether to be happy or sad.

Under the setting sun, the dunes are undulating, and the sand here is no longer golden yellow, but a dark red, stretching out like a sea of fiery red.

In the distance, there is a mountain range, which is scattered, like a stone building excavated by hand. Before I got closer, I felt as if there was a heat wave rushing there.

Continuing on, signs of life appeared in the sea of sand.

A cactus grows next door, and a lizard crawls quickly over it, leaving clear footprints. It's just that the wind blows, the quicksand rolls by, and quickly covers the footprints.

The mountains resemble giant clods of earth, reddish all over and blending with the red sea of sand.

The heavens and the earth are red, like a world of blood, full of psychedelic colors. It was the first time for Tiemo to see this kind of grand scene, and he couldn't help but be a little amazed in his heart.

Xu Kui raised his hand, and his face was a little more happy.

"Everyone pay attention, this is the Flame Mountain, look at your feet, beware of poisonous snakes."

Xu Kui took the initiative to slow down and walked side by side with Tiemo. Maybe it's because he is about to get out of the desert, he is in a good mood and talks a lot.

"Tie Ye, you look red all over, don't you look like a flaming mountain? The terrain of this place is special, and for some reason, the temperature is much higher than elsewhere, and even in winter, there are snakes and insects. Further on, after the Flaming Mountain, we can find a place to light a fire for the night. ”

The range of the Flaming Mountain was not large, and in half an hour, the camel caravan passed through the low canyon.

Out of the canyon, there is a sparse sand date forest, and when the camel team enters the forest, Xu Kui asks people to find firewood to start a fire.

Walking out of the Northern Desert alive, everyone has a feeling of being reincarnated. Light the fire and feel the warmth of the fire.

Happy, some people drank wine, and some people sang. Although the singing is difficult to hear, it can bring joy.

Mengmeng took two sips of wine and screamed twice by pulling her neck.

"Boil..... Woowoo woo ....."

Glancing at the man singing loudly in the distance, Meng Meng lowered her ears with disdain, trying to block the ugly sound.

The gopher rolled its eyes, patted its chest, and sang louder.

........

The night passed in a hurry.

The next day, while Tiemo was still asleep, he was awakened by a strange noise.

When he opened his eyes, he nervously held the machete and listened carefully to the distant sounds.

The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near, and Tiemo's face changed greatly, it was the sound of horses' hooves.

As soon as he reminded him, a group of shadows appeared in his field of vision.

They were dressed in Mongolian costumes, each with a scimitar, and their horses galloped like the wind.
