When the sun rose, Lin Xiaoxiao was already too tired.

Although it was still winter, the sun in the desert seemed to be very close to the earth, and it only took half an hour for the still cold sand to start heating up at night.

The most terrible thing is that Lin Xiaoxiao has no food and water at the moment, and after walking all night, her body has begun to collapse.

Lin Xiaoxiao lay down behind a shady sand dune.

Looking at the endless desert, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, should I continue to move forward, or turn back?

But at this time, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know where he was in the desert, even if he wanted to go back, he would have to travel for at least four or five days, and whether he could hold out for two days without water and food? And whether he could guarantee that he would not get lost? All this was unknown.

Is he really going to die in this desert? Lin Xiaoxiao was unwilling, but he could see the boundless yellow sand reflecting the dazzling golden light, and the scorching sun on his head was like a blazing fire, and this desert was a cauldron scorching with fire.

Lin Xiaoxiao became more and more anxious, and her heart beat harder and harder.

The moisture in her body gradually drained, and Lin Xiaoxiao's lips became dry and cracked.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but shed tears, and finally decided to move on, even if she died, she would die on the way forward.

In Lin Xiaoxiao's dictionary, there has never been the word "retreat".

Lin Xiaoxiao hid behind the shady sand dunes, and fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

Until the sun went down, the desert began to cool down, the night breeze hit, and there was some coolness, Lin Xiaoxiao woke up slowly, and his throat was like a fire.

The stars in the sky gradually rose again, but the waning moon was gone.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the starry sky in an attempt to find the Big Dipper constellation.

However, in the desert in the depths of winter, even the Big Dipper constellation is hidden below the horizon.

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart became nervous. If you can't discern the direction, and you can't rush forward even at night, then you have to wait for death.

Lin Xiaoxiao climbed to the top of the sand dunes with difficulty, and by the faint starlight, he saw that the sand dunes in front of him drew arcs, like the waves of the sea, but there was no waves, this was a frozen Dead Sea.

The direction of these sand dunes generally extends from one direction, and Lin Xiaoxiao clearly remembers that on the map that Mo Yuanshan has shown himself, this area should be around forty degrees north latitude, and it is winter at the moment, although the Big Dipper is not visible, but this place is affected by the monsoon, and it should be a northwest wind.

Lin Xiaoxiao thought of this, remembered that yesterday's storm came from the northwest, and affirmed his judgment even more.

Looking at these wave-like sand dunes, Lin Xiaoxiao judged the direction according to the direction of the sand dunes.

Lin Xiaoxiao plucked up her courage and headed all the way to the west.

Kelin Xiaoxiao's body was already too weak, and after climbing over the three sand dunes with difficulty, he had already begun to be delirious and lightheaded.

Lin Xiaoxiao secretly thought to herself: "Persistence, persistence is victory, I, Lin Xiaoxiao, must go out alive." ”

Climbing the fourth sand dune, Lin Xiaoxiao was exhausted, he couldn't support it anymore, his eyes were black, his feet were soft, and he rolled down from the top of the dune.

There was a depression under the dune, and Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have the strength to get up again, so she simply closed her eyes.

The night wind was blowing, and the stars in the sky seemed to be murmuring.

"Xiaoxiao, you must be strong......"

"Smile, mom loves you......"

"Laugh, smile......"

Hazy, Lin Xiaoxiao felt as if something was touching her face, itchy, as if her mother Qin Fang was hugging Lin Xiaoxiao when she was a child, and reached out to brush the hair under Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, and called "Mom" softly.

However, at this moment, it turned out to be a pair of hairy hands holding Lin Xiaoxiao, and a pair of blood-colored eyes flashed in the starlight.

These blood-colored eyes blinked a few times, and there were some tearful looks.

Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao shout softly "Mom", the big furry hands retracted in shock, and suddenly let out a low howl.

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes and glanced at these blood-red eyes.

Both pairs of eyes were suddenly terrified.

Lin Xiaoxiao screamed and suddenly flipped up.

The "red-eyed monster" was startled, jumped out a few meters away, and looked back at Lin Xiaoxiao in horror.

Lin Xiaoxiao was shocked, and hurriedly reached into his pocket and took out a pistol.

The "red-eyed monster" howled angrily, ran away, and disappeared into the night in a flash.

Lin Xiaoxiao trembled all over, calmed down for a while, and only heard a heart-rending howl coming from the sand dunes in the distance, like a wolf and a human.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so frightened by this terrifying scene that her scalp was numb, and suddenly she was sober up, and she hurriedly struggled to get up.

But as soon as he got up, Lin Xiaoxiao's feet seemed to have tripped over something.

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered his head, and by the starlight, he saw a backpack under his feet.

Lin Xiaoxiao was startled and hurriedly opened his backpack.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao burst into tears and shouted with tears streaming down his face.

It turns out that this backpack is Lin Xiaoxiao's own! The bags of snacks and biscuits, as well as four or five bottles of mineral water, are the same.

Lin smiled and was sad and happy, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't believe that everything in front of him was true for a while.

Unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, Lin Xiaoxiao was like a thirsty buffalo, so he hurriedly took a big sip.

But the water went down his throat, and he was choked and spit out.

Lin Xiaoxiao was almost choked to death by this saliva!

Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the sand and laughed, as if she had drunk wild spring water.

With half a bottle of mineral water, Lin Xiaoxiao ate two or three biscuits, and carefully put things away.

Lin Xiaoxiao knew that these five bottles of mineral water, three packs of biscuits, and two bags of snacks were all the hope that he could get out of the desert alive.

Lin Xiaoxiao regained some strength, looked up at the starry sky full of stars, and the waning moon didn't know when it rose.

Everything suddenly became so poetic, so quiet and beautiful.

Lin Xiaoxiao bowed to the waning moon and starry sky in the east, recalled her mother's words and words in her dream, and secretly prayed, thinking that it was her mother Qin Fang's spirit in the sky that protected her, and actually led her to this place and retrieved her backpack.

Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly had hope and came to the spirit, so he took advantage of the night and went all the way to the west, day and night.

I don't know how many sand dunes I have climbed, but five days later, in the early morning, Lin Xiaoxiao finally came to a wilderness overgrown with tall cacti.

Lin Xiaoxiao began to panic a little.

I remember that Mo Yuanshan said that the Hongya River is in the hinterland of the desert, and he has also seen the map, which is indeed true.

And at this moment, it turned out to be a wilderness full of cacti!

Could it be that you have gone in the wrong direction and have already crossed the desert to another place?

Lin Xiaoxiao's heart suddenly began to tangle again.

Looking around, there were hardly any tall plants other than yellowing weeds and cacti, and a few small trees that had lost their leaves early.

If he hadn't seen the map beforehand, Lin Xiaoxiao would have thought that he had crossed the desert and came to Africa.

Strangely enough, there was not a single bird or beast except these yellowing weeds and cacti.

But one thing is thankful, and that is the sap of these cacti, which quenches thirst and, now that there is vegetation, you are sure to find water.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiao relieved her mind a little, thinking that no matter where this place was, let's find out first.

Lin Xiaoxiao shuttled between these tall cactus forests, some of them looked like the pillars of the palace, and some of them looked like huge palms erected, but they were like a labyrinth.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked all morning under the scorching sun, but she didn't even walk out of this cactus forest, and suddenly her heart began to become anxious.

Beads of sweat fell, falling into eight halves, and Lin Xiaoxiao was lost.
