At eleven o'clock in the morning, Lao Li and his entourage maintained a formation and walked on the vast grassland. The Balar grassland is smaller than other grasslands, and is a narrow and irregular crescent moon on aerial photographs, stretching for hundreds of kilometers, with more than a dozen kilometers at the widest place and only a few kilometers at the narrowest point, and the ground around the crescent moon is relatively high. Lao Li didn't know why, if he had changed the geological team of the Qilian Mountains he led before, he would have known.

"Rest in place. Lao Li ordered, there is no water in the grass in this place. Tara didn't hear it, and was still looking at the grass in the distance with her binoculars, and hit the back of the wood.

"The ground ahead is high, there is no standing water, it is relatively safe, be careful, it's fine, untie the rope." They hung ropes around their waists.

The wood lit the portable stove to dry the trousers, and lit a cigarette on the stove, and after smoking, the pants were almost dry, and the wood rolled up the trouser legs, and saw a few bulging grasshoppers, so he burned them off with the cigarette butts, and the movements were skillful.

Tara asked for a cigarette from the wood, took a puff, choked and coughed for a long time, but finished the cigarette, presumably for the first time, and then he imitated the wood and scalded the locust with the cigarette butt.

"Getting rid of the locusts like this is less bleeding than pulling them out directly. Wood smiled and said to Tara, who was still coughing, "I've planted seedlings in the field." ”

"Don't teach him badly," said the bald man, pretending to be righteous, "and we're going to deliver him to his aba in its entirety." ”

"And Muren. Tara coughed.

"Hurry up and eat something to replenish your strength, I hope we haven't missed Lao Li and them along the way, so they should be not far in front of us." We are already in the hinterland of the steppe, and the navigation shows that Mongolia is more than 100 kilometers away, and if we haven't found it at the border, we have to go back and make plans again......" Lao Li said the reality, and everyone is looking forward to finding the missing team as soon as possible. Tara, who is a shaman, probably said in Mongolian, "Allah willing." ”

After searching for more than ten kilometers, Mu saw a small hill that was higher than all around, he climbed up alone, and a jeep appeared in the field of vision of the telescope, but there seemed to be no one on it.

"Broke down. Everyone walked to the jeep, and Lao Li lifted the engine cover and said, "How did they drive in?"

"Some time ago, there was less rainfall, and there were fewer blisters, which was also a little more noticeable. Tara explained.

"Wood, I'll tell you," the bald man put one hand over his mouth and made a gesture of whispering.

"What?"

"Bet, their family teaches geography. ”

"This is the herding experience of the Mongols. "Wood has long been impatient with this bald head.

"There was a sketch in the car, and there were other survey things, which should not be fit in a Jeep. Akagi checked the jeep and handed the sketch to Lao Li.

"It's a map, roughly marking their destination. ”

"Finally a clue. "Everyone was excited, but it had been almost a week since the first team disappeared, and the situation was not optimistic.

"Lao Li, there is news," the younger armed policeman handed over a satellite communicator similar to that of a big brother to Lao Li, "The town ** called, and the previous search team has returned." ”

"Our search failed, the car got stuck in the mud as soon as it entered, and then the correspondent fell into a blister, the equipment was short-circuited, and there was no way to inform you, we searched until there was only enough food for us to hike back, and then we left the grassland, and told Tara that Muren had also returned, and wished you success. ”

Lao Li understands that if even they fail now, even if a third search team is sent, Lao Wang's survival rate will not be high, and the only thing they can do is to buy time and not give up.

"Tara, your brother has returned to town. Lao Li told him.

"My, my brother has found it, but your old king hasn't been found yet, and I won't go back. "His Chinese is still at the preschool level, but no one can move him when he gets serious.

"Well, we know your mind, and you're a kind person. The wood patted Tara again.

"Let's go to the place marked on the sketch first. ”
