"That was my first expedition, I was just an experienced outdoor mountaineer, I thought I knew everything about the mountains and rivers at home and abroad, I was young and conceited, I thought it was just an ordinary desert, but I was not prepared enough, I couldn't deal with the weird sand waterfalls, and I killed them. Lao Li's eyes were red as if he had been smeared with chili pepper water, but he never shed a tear, and Mu and Liu Mang listened silently.

"Xiao Li, this time we can finally act together, and it has been approved from above. A young woman said to Lao Li, who was in the prime of life at the time, "You promised me to take me to the mountains and rivers, but after work, I always can't go." ”

"So you just transferred me here under the guise of public welfare? There are no mountains or rivers in the desert, you are a clerk who is not at home to take care of the children, what is the crime of coming to such a place with me?" Lao Li teased his wife who had just added a fat daughter to himself, he thought that there was too much equipment in the car, and he unloaded some supplies, he felt that there was no need to go to the desert at all, and he was also traveling lightly, but his wife loaded those things on the pickup truck again, saying that he was prepared, and he always had no way to take his wife.

"We have been looking in the desert for seventeen days, food and water for a week at most, and after a few more days, we will have to go back. Lao Li said to the six people in the team by the fire, the desert cools down quickly, the temperature can be lower than zero at night, three tents are set up around the fire, and two pickup trucks are blocking the upwind.

Akagi's father, who was the leader of the squad, was a little frustrated, "Does Sand Falls really exist?"

"There is indeed a record on the bamboo slips in the ancient tomb, but I don't know if it is a wind legend, if the sand waterfall really exists, it will be the second Loulan. Lao Li's wife said with little confidence.

After a few days of getting along, Lao Li and these team members gradually built trust, and he has an endless humor that can make people forget the boring itinerary and the scorching sun. He constantly tells the story of his adventures, as well as the strange things he saw and heard, and most importantly, the team members are happy to listen.

Lao Li continued, "At that time, I fell in love with the feeling of being a team leader, and I fell in love with the empty night, and my wife snuggled up to me and asked me to teach her to recognize some constellations...... But then there was more guilt, and I felt that I had killed them indirectly, and if I hadn't found Sandfall, my wife would have been fine, and Anne wouldn't have alienated me. ”

"There aren't so many ifs...... I know a girl named Anne Lee, don't you?" Wood remembered the man who grabbed him a year ago to release the lanterns, "She said she lived in the imperial capital, and her father was the leader of the expedition, and he taught her to recognize many constellations when she was a child. ”

"My daughter went to Shannan last year, and from what you said, it may be her, but I haven't seen her for a long time. "Lao Li and his daughter are not close, and they don't live together.
