Chapter 21: The Chessboard Is Gone

Yes, there were two moons in the sky, and they were exactly the same, in size, roundness, and the levels of light and darkness on them.

In the lake, two moons also appeared.

What a wonder!

I got up and tried to run back to camp and call everyone up.

But the juice grabbed me: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Let everyone see it!"

"Don't!"

"Why?"

"When you see them, you will only panic more!"

I listened to the juice.

Next, we stared at the two moons in the sky, and said, "I think there must be a moon that is not real......

"What's that?"

It took me a long time to speak, and after I listened to it, it was like an initiation! "If you have a van, it's easy to make it look like a loaf of bread," she says.......

I stopped talking and continued to observe the two moons, trying to discern the subtle differences.

There is no difference.

The water in the lake suddenly sounded, and the four eyes next to him rushed to the edge of the lake and barked wildly. I suspected that the "water monster" hiding under the lake was about to emerge, so I quickly pulled the juice and retreated. The lake rang for a while, and then gradually fell silent.

Looking at the sky again, another round of the moon quickly darkened, a bit like the ghosting of the moon, and then, it disappeared completely.

I said, "Look, the moon is gone!" ”

"Perhaps, that's just the light off......"

I was taken aback by this statement.

Look around the moon, dark and deep.

I remember a show saying that the human eye can recognize 1.6 million colors, while a certain marine animal can recognize 3.2 million colors......

So, here's the problem – the real world may not be what we see.

Another problem – we can't be sure that there isn't anything else that exists in colors other than 1.6 million......

When we came to Lop Nur, we probably violated the invisible creatures. For example, there is a certain salt crust pattern on the ground, which is actually a marking line that is forbidden to park in their world, and we can't understand it, so we just park casually. For example, a certain stone, that is actually a sign that they are forbidden to enter this world, we can't understand it, so we break in......

Pulp hugged me: "Zhou Dedong, I'm really scared ......"

I also hugged her tightly: "Didn't I tell you?" I'm ahead of you on that death list, and as long as I live, you don't have to be afraid. ”

Juice pushed me away and said something that surprised me: "Then you might as well let me die before you!" ”

It occurred to me that I was called my own by the group, and I was let go. So will it be the turn of the juice next?

Before dawn, I coaxed the juice back to sleep.

Four Eyes stayed with me until dawn.

Everyone got up.

Huang Xi didn't get out of the tent, and it is estimated that his face was swollen and ugly.

Zhou Zhidan walked up to me: "Mr. Zhou, you haven't slept all night?" ”

I said, "You don't seem to be sleeping well." ”

"I've always dreamed of hearing voices over there, and I've been listening to them for several nights," he said. ”

I know, he's referring to the South Pacific Ocean on the other side of the globe.

I said, "Is there a catch?" ”

He shook his head: "I have other gains, though. ”

I said, "What is it?" ”

He said: "Last time, we went to that Yadan landform and wanted to win that game of chess by using the method of five elements to restrain each other, right? ”

I said, "Hmm. ”

He said, "What is the result? Here comes a sandstorm. ”

I said, "Have you figured it out?" ”

He said proudly, "I thought of it!" ”

If that's the chessboard, if that sandstorm isn't a coincidence, then I can't think of any other way to play chess where you lose and I win, or if I lose and you win.

I said, "What's the solution?" ”

He said: "The other party is gold, wood, earth, water and fire, we are wood, earth, water, fire and gold, we should not use the method of 'gram', but the method of 'life'!" As long as we put earth, water, fire, gold, earth, water, fire, earth, water, and fire, let it be, we will be safe! ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Wisdom overcomes difficulties." ”

Zhou Zhidan smiled.

After breakfast, I, Zhou Zhidan, Lao Ding, Zhang Hui, and Linghushan were ready to set off to find the Yadan landform.

I said to Lu Sanguo, "You stay in the camp and take care of everyone." ”

Lu Sanguo said: "No problem. ”

I said, "Don't let anyone go into the water." ”

Lu Sanguo said: "Can you tell me the reason?" ”

I said, "I think there's something underwater." ”

Lu Sanguo was stunned: "What is it?" ”

I said, "I want to see it clearly unless I drain it." ”

Lu Sanguo nodded: "Got it." ”

However, Ma said that he had a stomachache and stayed in the camp.

Huang Xi never came out, and Bubu brought him egg yolk pie and egg soup.

Monsoon came over: "Boss Zhou, I'll go with you." ”

I said, "Okay, just talk to us on the way." ”

Pulp also came: "I'll go too." ”

I said, "You are not allowed to go." ”

"Why can't I go if the monsoon can go?" Eccentricity! ”

I'm starting to be unreliable: "Monsoon is a family member with the team. ”

Pulp asked suspiciously, "Whose family is she?" ”

I said, "Linghu Mountain." ”

Ji Feng said: "Boss Zhou, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum. ”

Pulp said: "Then I am also a family member of the team!" ”

I said, "Whose family are you?" ”

She said, "I'm your sister, forgot?" ”

I winked and said, "Go!" ”

In this way, the seven of us drove three cars, first returned to the previous camp, and from there rushed to the Yadan landform.

Zhou Zhidan walked ahead, his car was also rented in Dunhuang, and like my car, it was a white Land Rover Defender, and Lao Ding and Zhang Hui were in his car. Monsoon walks in the middle, making Fox Mountain in her car. I was at the end, the juice was in my car.

The monsoon washed the car clean, the dashboard was clear, and the hands were still pointing to zero.

The wind blew in Lop Nur, muffling the crackling of the salt crust. It seems that after returning today, the car will be covered with sand again.

"Have you ever told a fortune for the monsoon?" ”

I said, "Seven words? ”

"Yes," said Pulp. ”

I said, "When she and I first met, I did the math for her." ”

"What word did she choose?" ”

I said, "Birth, Mao, Take, Gold, Heart, Lake, Stay." ”

"Oh my God, after all these years, do you remember it so clearly?" ”

I said, "That's not just seven words, that's a summary of her life, of course I remember." ”

"Do you remember which words I chose?" ”

I said, "I forgot ......"

"I know!" I figured it out, they all say that men are sloppy, who is that right! ”

I said, "You don't want to hear about the fate of the monsoon?" ”

Pulp said, "Do you still need to listen?" The monsoon is definitely getting longer and prettier, and the richer it gets. ”

I said, "Her personality is very unmainstream, and her life is very irregular. To outsiders, her life seems to be very stable, but in fact, it is the opposite. She's not a perfectionist, at least compared to other girls, she lacks romance. Her childhood was very abnormal, even morbid. She gradually got better in the middle of her life. She cheated after middle age, or found true love. The end of her life was extremely turbulent and not smooth, but fortunately she had something solid in her heart, which could be philosophy or realm, which supported her and allowed her to survive safely. ”

Pulp was silent for a moment and asked me, "Do you think it's accurate?" ”

I said, "At least one thing is accurate – she told me that her mother went crazy when she was very young and died within a few years." ”

Pulp stopped talking.

After a while, she yelled at me again: "I'll give you 24 hours to look in your own head, and if you can't find it, I'll ignore you again!" ”

I said, "Looking for what?" ”

Juice said, "My 7 words! ”

I said, "Won't you pick 7 more and you're done......"

Pulp Juice really felt aggrieved, and even cried: "Can that be the same!" ”

With that, she pulled out a dictionary from her toolbox and slammed it next to me.

We searched and searched, but we never saw the Yadan landform.

Zhou Zhidan stopped the car, everyone got out of the car, Zhou Zhidan turned his big belly and looked around, and said: "Look, that's the mark we used to build a stone base, it should be here, why is it gone......?"

I held up my telescope and looked around, and it was flat, with no ups and downs.

I said, "It looks like it's wandering." ”

Lao Ding said: "What should I do then? ”

I said, "You want to play chess with me, I put away the chessboard and go home, what can you do?" ”

Lao Ding stopped talking.

It was already noon, so we had something to eat in the car for lunch and then headed back the way we came. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, the ground was shaking, it was dusk, and the three cars did not dare to be too far apart, one followed closely the other, as slow as a snail.

Monsoon is at the forefront, my car is in the middle, and Zhou Zhidan's car is at the end.

Walking and walking, I couldn't see Zhou Zhidan's car from the mirror, I quickly stopped, got out of the car and looked back, no, it seemed to disappear out of thin air, there were three people sitting on it!

"Where are they?" ”

I said, "The car may have broken down." ”

Pulp said, "What then?" ”

I said, "We have to go back to them." ”

Monsoon walked out of the way, and probably saw me parking, so she turned around and drove back.

She drove up to me, and I said to her, "Zhou Zhidan, they have fallen behind, I have to go back to them." ”

Monsoon said, "I'll go with you." ”

I said, "It's not far from the camp, you and Linghu Mountain continue to walk along the mark, go back first." ”

Monsoon said, "Okay. Stay safe. Then, she got in the car and left.

Berry juice said next to me, "Your hexagram is indeed accurate." ”

I don't know what medicine she sells in her gourd: "Why do you say this? ”

Pulp said in a weird way: "You said that she will gradually get better in the middle of her life - can she meet you?" Be cared for all the time. ”

I said, "Here we go again." ”

I drove the car back in the gale, and Pulp sat next to me, holding up the binoculars and looking around.

We walked four or five kilometers and Pulp said, "There they are!" ”

I stopped the car, took the binoculars, looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, I saw Zhou Zhidan's white Land Rover Defender, which was parked about seven or eight kilometers away, and there seemed to be a white car next to it.

Did they meet someone else?

I hurried towards them.

The speed was so slow that it took me almost an hour to get in front of them.

Zhou Zhidan, Lao Ding and Zhang Hui saw us and got out of the car.

Next to them, there was also a white Land Rover Defender, the doors and windows of the car were closed, the glass was black, and the people inside could not be seen.

I didn't know what was going on, so I went down and asked, "Zhou Zhidan, what's wrong?" ”

The wind was so strong that we were almost shouting and talking.

Zhou Zhidan said: "Our car is broken! ”

I pointed to the Land Rover Defender: "Whose car is this?" ”

Zhou Zhidan said: "There is a female ...... sitting inside"

I said, "Her car broke down too?" ”

Zhou Zhidan said: "Yes! ”

I said, "How did you go off the beaten track and run so far?" ”

Zhou Zhidan said: "The sight is too poor, I saw it wrong, I thought this car was your car!" After I caught up with it, the car was extinguished, and I couldn't hit it......"

I was very confused: "You happened to break down in front of her?" ”

Zhou Zhidan said: "Yes, it's very strange! ”

I immediately felt that something was wrong - this white Land Rover, the same color as my model! Could it be that it deliberately induced Zhou Zhidan to go the wrong way?

I walked up to the white Land Rover and carefully pulled the door open, there was a lot of sand in the car, but I could tell it was quite new, and a woman was sitting in it, lit up a fire.

I said, "Hello......"

She looked at me, pointed to her mouth, waved her hand again, and she was telling me that she couldn't speak, or couldn't speak. The woman's dress was simple, but she was very beautiful.

I said, "Can you write?" ”

She nodded at me and continued to light the fire.

I said, "Don't be busy, I'll drag you to our camp and we'll have someone fix the car." ”

She nodded aggrievedly and finally gave up.

I said to Zhou Zhidan: "I'll drag you back, and I'll talk about it when I have something to say." ”

Then, I took the tow rope from the car, and Zhou Zhidan also took the tow rope from the car, and I dragged the car that appeared inexplicably, and it dragged Zhou Zhidan's car, and three almost identical white Land Rover Defenders drove back with difficulty......

Along the way, I was thinking about this woman who appeared out of nowhere.

Why is she alone in this no-man's land?

There is a song that sings that it is shameful to be alone.

I think it's suspicious to be alone.

When we got back to camp, it was already dark.

After I got out of the car, I was dumbfounded - the tow rope at the back of my car was tied to the front of Zhou Zhidan's car, and the car in the middle was gone!
