At dawn, the caravan packed up and was ready to go.

I was woken up by Qin Chong in my sleep, and after getting dressed in a daze and eating morning and evening, the whole thing woke up.

Last night's adventure is in front of me, and I would love to find someone to share it with.

Uncle Suder Su was leading the camel in front, only two or three hunchbacks away from me, and I hurried three steps and two steps after it.

"Uncle Su, I heard the cry of a wild ghost last night!" I said it fervently.

"Young master, are you frightened?" Uncle Su's kind and vicissitudes of life are just like his father.

"I was so scared that I didn't sleep in the middle of the night!" I touched my head and laughed.

"The sound of the real people crying all night, that's really terrifying to the hair, what a wilderness ghost!" Uncle Su looked ahead a little sadly and sighed long.

"Young master, let me tell you a story that happened more than ten years ago."

"It can't be a demon again, right?" I asked, a little numb.

"Real people and real things, your grandfather and grandfather are all present." Uncle Su said faintly.

"That year was also this time, we went north to Luoyang, and one night camped on the edge of a mountain beam outside the Yumen Pass in Dunhuang County. In the middle of the night, there was a sudden whimpering cry of several women on the side of the road, at first it was a small cry, but slowly the sound grew louder and louder, and it became a heart-rending howl, and none of us in the caravan fell asleep all night. Uncle Su cleared his throat and continued to speak slowly.

"After dawn, your grandfather asked me to take a few people out to see what was going on. We saw a mother and daughter on the side of the trade road not far from the campsite, and they cried out. ”

"And then?" I asked curiously.

"Then we took the three women to your grandfather. After inquiry, it was learned that they were originally the daughters of a merchant family in Dunhuang County, and their families were rich and had no worries about food and clothing. Later, the head of the family went to the Western Regions to do business, and never returned, like your father, Brother Fengnian. Later, all the family business was occupied by the nearby tyrants, and the mother and daughter could only live in the wilderness and beg. They had been wandering on this trade route for many years, hoping that one day their husband and father would return from the Western Regions and the family would be reunited. During the day, when I saw our Han caravan and saw things and people, I couldn't help but feel sad and wept. ”

"Poor thing!" I sighed a little indignantly, there are still such miserable things in the world, and I can't help but think of poor Amika and poor Gulando.

"Young master, we businessmen are all poor people! Yesterday was still drumming and singing, tomorrow may be a lonely soul on the side of the road! Uncle Su let out another long sigh.

"So, as your grandfather said, we who are merchants are also a kind of practice in this world! As long as the great virtue is not lost, the small sections are not restricted! Endure all the sufferings of this world, and enjoy the blessings of this world! Ha ha! Speaking of this, Uncle Su swept away the haze and smiled heartily.

"Uncle Su, what does it mean to be virtuous and uninhibited?"

"If you don't lose virtue, you don't do things without virtue and don't make money without virtue! The subsections are not informal, the young master, you have also seen a lot when you are in Qingfengze, those businessmen who pass by are wild and uninhibited, indulging in wine and fun, that is, the subsections are not informal, hahaha! Uncle Su laughed and quickened his pace to follow.

I was slightly stunned, and I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh evilly.

I am too familiar with the merchants who live in the "Qingfengze" inn!

Once again, the ground temperature in the desert has entered the scorching link, and it is even worse than in previous days.

There are two reasons for this, one is that we are getting farther and farther away from the surrounding oases, and the humid cold wind does not blow here at all.

In addition, according to the summer calendar solar terms in the Middle and Han regions, the north has entered the hottest season of the year.

Suddenly, the caravan lost the whispering, chatting and laughing of the wind just now, and once again entered the moment of competition with the Grim Reaper and the Heat Demon, and could only hear the uniform rustling sound of the footsteps of people and animals rubbing against the sand.

Those of us who grew up on the edge of the desert have long since adapted to the heat.

I couldn't imagine how the caravans from Middle-earth, the gentle and humid land of Rome, had survived the "sea of death" in front of me.

As the ground temperature rose, my discomfort became stronger and stronger, and the hot air from my nostrils and lungs burned in my body, which was unbearable.

My nostrils started to bleed, oozing blood to be exact, and the blood had started to dry up.

"Qin Chong, give me some water!" I cried out weakly, trying to keep myself from falling down, as I handed the cotton towel in my hand.

Qin Chong didn't say a word, grabbed the water bladder and prepared to pour water into my mouth, which was also the most effective way to save me.

I stopped him and motioned for him to wet the cotton towel, and he saw that I was bleeding from my nose.

This is the image of heat leaking out, like boiling water surging outward, and it can be dangerous if not treated in time.

Qin Chong poured some water on the cotton towel as fast as he could, and then applied it to my nose!

It's so comfortable! After being filtered by a cloth of water, the hot air inhaled into the body is sweet.

In this way, I managed to stay up until the time of the lunch distribution of water.

There are no more sand dunes to shelter from, and the four fields are full of white flowers and flat sand seas.

Non-stop people do not stop, and the noon diet is all hastily solved in the march.

"Jin Cheng, can you still survive it?"

Taking advantage of the lunch break, my grandfather came to see me, and he probably knew that I couldn't stay up.

"Grandpa, I'm dying, I can't hold it anymore." As I spoke, my tears flowed out, but not a single tear fell from the feeling of crying, and the tears had long since dried up.

"Silly boy, how can people die so easily, drink more water and carry everything!" Grandpa patted me lovingly, and then shouted at Qin Chong beside me in a commanding tone.

"Qin Chong, from today onwards, I want to ensure the young master's hydration, what happened to him, I will ask you!"

"Master, I've wanted to do this for a long time, but the master won't allow it! How can the young master compare with us for the first time! Qin Chong laughed hoarsely.

"I'm in charge of this! His grandson is dying of thirst, and he can still see death as a grandfather! That's it! "Grandpa's angry appearance is a little scary.

"Okay!"

I don't stress any rules anymore, it's important to save my life.

No matter how much water Qin Chong gave me, I didn't refuse to come, and the cow drank it all.

After the drinking water of the three pottery bowls was swallowed, the whole person was completely alive again.

But looking at the hot and colorless men around me who were leading camels, I felt deeply guilty and uneasy, and once again vowed not to make an example.

On the way, my grandfather suddenly remembered something again, so he stood aside and waited for me to pass.

"O Jincheng! Didn't you learn meditation from Master Huang, you might as well try it here? As the saying goes, when the mind is calm, it is cool, and the first effect of meditation is to calm people! Give it a try, it will definitely work! ”

After explaining the explanation, he hurried forward again.

The old man, who is nearly sixty years old, does not have the slightest decadence, and I really admire my grandfather's ability to survive.

That's right! Meditation is the only way to get out of this world and into the realm of bliss, and there is no need to wait for a while.

So I told Qin Chong that I was going to use a spell to avoid the heat, and don't disturb me until I called him, otherwise I would be in danger of my life.

This time, it was the silly boy's turn to be stunned, and he looked at me in disbelief and nodded.

If you can't sit down, you have to meditate while walking, you may not be able to settle down, but you can only settle down.

So I half-closed my eyes and imagined that the sand sea in front of me was the "Qingfengze" lake, the sun above me was the dense poplar forest and reed beach on the lakeside, and the mounts and camels around me were flat boats floating in the wind on the big lake.

Me, Gulando, Rangol, and Yamika were sitting on the boat, playing merrily in the great lake.

As the heat slowly receded, I could feel the breeze blowing from the lake, which was very pleasant.

Suddenly an incomparably cold chill hit me and pulled me back to reality.

I was amazed to find that the sun had set, and the day of suffering had finally passed.

There's a dry river ahead of us, and that's where we'll camp tonight.

"Young master, you're awake! You're too godly, young master! What kind of spell is this? Teach me! Qin Chong shouted happily when he saw me wake up.

"This is the technique of meditation, you have already reached such a cultivation when you are awake, there is no need to learn my side door at all, but I can teach you the mantra that the master taught back then." I laughed, feeling like I was in the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"Thank you, master!"

Qin Chong bowed to me and bowed deeply, and we both laughed heartily.

Uncle Su is right, we businessmen are walking in purgatory on earth.

The coolness, joy and reunion of the rest of each catastrophe are not the greatest blessings in the world!
