At dawn, in the gray and hazy sky, in the endless desert, and on the distant horizon, an off-road vehicle quietly moved forward alone.

Liu Xiaodong and Guo Yixin looked listless because they got up early in the morning. Wang Zhong was quite interested, and while driving, he was looking for topics to chat with Liu Xiaodong in the passenger seat, while Guo Yixin listened quietly in the back row.

"Brother Xiaodong, I think we can talk very well, and you are also a real person, so ...... I won't charge you any more for your guides! ”

Liu Xiaodong was observing the change of GPS coordinates on the center console, and was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Free?" Why! ”

"You may not know, I like to make friends, that's why I like to be a guide, I think you can make friends! Hehe......"

Liu Xiaodong looked back at Guo Yixin behind him, and asked with a smile: "We are ...... together After so many years, today you found out that I am popular, right? ”

Guo Yingxin pursed her lips and smiled, but did not speak.

"Say it! How can we help you? I'm just a little journalist, but I don't have much to do. Liu Xiaodong knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Wang Zhong held the steering wheel with one hand, and raised his other hand and waved at Liu Xiaodong: "Brother Xiaodong, what do you say!" I don't charge for the sake of my friends, don't make it like an exchange of interests, we don't have so many routines like people in the city! ”

"Oh......"

"By the way, Brother Xiaodong, we're going there today...... Is it just a matter of taking pictures? ”

"We're journalists, what else do you think we can do there?"

"This is really interlaced like a mountain! I always think that you all the way to this place where the birds don't poop just to take a few pictures! It's ......."

Liu Xiaodong laughed: "Brother Wang, you just want to make it simple, we can write a report on the whole process!" ”

Wang Zhong suddenly realized and seemed to be very happy: "Oh, that's so, it makes sense!" Well, that's good! ”

After more than 6 hours of bumpy driving, the scenery outside the window will be the Gobi, the desert, or the Yadan, or the hills...... But no matter how much the landscape changes, there is still not a trace of green as far as the eye can see.

Finally arrived near the accident site.

In fact, they didn't drive far from the town of Lop Nur, and the odometer showed that it was 110 kilometers. Except for Provincial Highway 235, there are no roads in Lop Nur, and the speed of the car is even slower than Liu Xiaodong imagined.

Today they will no longer be able to see the "Wild Camel Activity Zone" warning sign because there are no wild camels at all.

With his experience, Wang Zhong turned left from the sidewalk according to the GPS coordinates, and turned into the desert with free light. From this moment on, there was not even a sidewalk in front of the jeep, so it had to rely on GPS to drive in the desert.

Wang Zhong, who had been talking and laughing before, slowly became quieter, he looked down at the GPS for a while, and then looked up to look around the car.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?" Liu Xiaodong is not used to Wang Zhong not speaking.

Wang Zhong continued to look out the window: "Nothing abnormal, I'm just habitual ......"

"What habits?" Liu Xiaodong asked.

"In the absence of roads, you can't rely on GPS, and you have to rely on the naked eye to see how to go."

"Oh......" But Liu Xiaodong still doesn't understand, it's normal to observe the surroundings, but why does this guy still look at the sky from time to time? There seems to be some nervousness.

"Brother Xiaodong, do you have anything to defend yourself?" Wang Zhong asked suddenly.

"Self-defense...... Why do you ask this, does a flashlight count? Liu Xiaodong frowned.

Wang Zhong shook his head, and then asked, "Flashlight with electric shock?" ”

"Don't bring it!" Liu Xiaodong thought for a moment, "Moreover, I forgot about it!" ”

"Haha, brother, you are so humorous!" Wang Zhong smiled, and it was the first time Wang Zhong laughed since he turned into the roadless desert.

"You, what's the danger?" Liu Xiaodong asked seriously.

Wang Zhong shook his head: "No, don't be nervous!" I was just safely imagining what we would do if an aggressive creature suddenly ran out. ”

"What kind of animals will there be in this kind of place?" Guo Yixin in the back row was curious.

Wang Zhong looked at her from the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's a safety expectation, but what is expected may not happen!" ”

About an hour later, the GPS showed that they had entered the destination coordinates, but Guo said it was not this place. Wang Zhonghu glanced at Guo Yixin in the rearview mirror suspiciously.

The car continued to circle around that coordinate, and after more than ten minutes, Guo Yixin suddenly shouted: "This is it!" ”

The jeep slowly stopped, and the three people got out of the car.

Wang Zhonggang wanted to ask Liu Xiaodong something, but Liu Xiaodong pressed his finger to his lips and motioned for him not to speak.

Liu Xiaodong saw that there was a saline-alkali field in front of him, and there were several Yadan nearby. Guo Yixin pointed to a Yadan ten meters away and said, "I remember this Yadan shape, do you look like a panda?" ”

Wang Zhong looked surprised, and Liu Xiaodong signaled him again not to speak.

Guo Yixin hurriedly walked in front, walked a few meters and suddenly stopped to look around, she suddenly stared at a piece of sand on the left and did not move, then covered her mouth with her hands, slowly squatted down and began to sob. Liu Xiaodong silently walked over and patted her on the back.

Wang Zhong had already understood, and he stood aside and looked at the poor girl with a complicated expression.

After a while, Liu Xiaodong turned around and pulled Wang Zhong away. Walking more than ten meters away, Wang Zhong looked back again, leaned closer to Liu Xiaodong and whispered: "This girl's life is really hard!" She was the only one left of so many people...... You still ask me about Lop Nur, ask her how good she is, that's your own experience! ”

Liu Xiaodong said with a straight face: "Big brother won't hide it from you!" To tell you the truth, this girl is my classmate, and she came to mourn her boyfriend. In addition, she is very fragile now, don't take the initiative to mention that matter in front of her! ”

Wang Zhong nodded: "Brother Xiaodong, I understand this!" ”

Liu Xiaodong looked back at Guo Yingxin, then walked over to her, and after a few steps, he walked back and asked Wang Zhong: "Brother, did you bring tissues?" ”

Wang Zhong touched his body and took out an empty cigarette case: "Is this okay?" ”

Liu Xiaodong shook his head helplessly, turned around and went back to the car to get a few pieces of paper, walked to Guo Yixin and handed it to her, saying, "Don't be too sad, take care of your body!" ”

After a pause, he asked, "Is this where you ......?" ”

Guo Yixin stood up and nodded, wiped the tears on her face and said, "At that time, there were a lot of opals here, and everyone was picking them up, so there was a loud bang...... And a very bright light! ”

Guo Yixin calmed down and said, "I'll go back to the car to pick up something, I want to have a few words with him...... You're busy. ”

She returned to the car, took out her duffel bag, took out a portrait of Makin, stuck it in the sand, dug a pit in front of it, and buried a few coins in it.

"Kim, this is your favorite coin! You told me in your dream, I brought it to you......" said as tears fell again.

In the dream, Ma Jin appeared in front of Guo Yixin with a smile, she reached out to grab him, Ma Jin turned around with a smile and ran away...... Finally, he appeared at Yadan Panda and said, "Help me hide the coins"! It's gone.

The week she returned home after the accident, Guo Yingxin had this dream twice.

Guo Yixin buried Ma Jin's portrait in the sand, rubbed her crying red eyes and stood up.
