No matter how Qing Huan shakes, there is only an empty echo in the water bladder.

It's running out of water.

How long will it take to get out of this desert?

The initial excitement and curiosity of stepping into the desert has long been drained by the harshness of nature.

The drastic change in temperature, especially when the water is running out little by little, makes people feel no hope for life.

A few days ago they were hit by a storm that was not too small, and although there were no casualties, they were unwittingly going in the wrong direction.

Hu Qi, the leader of the caravan, relied on his experience of going back and forth to the desert more than a dozen times, and kept leading everyone in the wrong direction.

Sanniang tried to stop his father, but then Hu Qi seemed to have fallen into a daze, and no one persuaded him.

Seeing that Hu Qi was a little enchanted, Sanniang was anxious, and Qing Huan was also anxious, but he didn't dare to show it.

In particular, Qing Huan had a faint premonition in his heart, feeling that Hu Qi would lead the whole team to a dead end again.

"Sanniang, you go and persuade your father..."Lao Zhao is the next manager, that is, the middle-aged man Qing Huan met for the first time.

Sanniang looked sad and said in a hoarse voice: "Do you think I didn't persuade you?" He doesn't listen to me at all now. ”

"Master Hu, what's wrong?" Lao Zhao sighed and sat next to Sanniang.

"Tomorrow," Sanniang looked in Hu Qi's direction stunned, as if she had made a lot of determination to say, "If this is still the case, we will go by ourselves." ”

Qing Huan turned her head to look at Sanniang, only to see that her eyes, which had not rested well in the past few days, were congested and turned blood-red. When I say this, it seems that my heart is dripping blood.

"Regardless of Hu Ye?" Lao Zhao lowered his voice and asked softly.

Qing Huan saw Sanniang nodding slightly, but she didn't really see it, she didn't know whether Sanniang was shaking her head or nodding.

To make such a choice, for Sanniang, I don't know how much courage it takes.

The next day, Sanniang and Hu Qi had a fierce quarrel. The sound of the quarrel woke Qinghuan up, and everyone sat aside and listened quietly.

Some people are expressionless and numb, some people have the hope of birth reflected in their eyes, and some people seem to be indignant, as if Sanniang should not challenge Hu Qi's authority.

Intuitively, Qing Huan is not sure who is right and who is wrong, but at the moment, there is no hope in sight.

It didn't take long for the quarrel to come to an end, and Sanniang came back with an angry face and said to everyone: "If you are willing to go with me, pack your things immediately." ”

The reaction of the people below was not fierce at all, and some people stood up slowly, patted Sha on the buttocks and said, "Let's talk to Hu Ye." Sanniang, you are just a hairy girl, why do you question Hu Ye. ”

A group of people responded to his words and said that they would not leave.

Sanniang was no longer angry, and said, "No one will go with me, I'll go by myself." ”

Qing Huan hurriedly took her own things and stood next to Sanniang, as if to encourage her.

An old man in the team laughed: "Look at you two girls, you can't protect yourself." ”

The others burst into laughter.

Sanniang was not annoyed, packed up her things, led the camel and said to Qinghuan, "Let's go." ”

Qing Huan looked back, and almost no one followed.

If he chooses the wrong path, then it should be like this, Qing Huan thought so, and followed closely.

The two didn't go far, and Lao Zhao chased after him with five or six people.

"I've been following Hu Ye for so many years, and I've never felt so wrong." Lao Zhao chased Sanniang and said in her ear.

Sanniang just hummed, and she didn't see these people showing joy like Qing Huan.

When I left, I still shared some dry food and water, but the amount was not much, and I didn't know how long it would last.

The remnant sun is like blood, covering the entire desert.

They walked between heaven and earth like ants.

At night, before Qing Huan fell asleep, he heard the sound of thousands of troops and horses howling angrily outside.

Qing Huan sat up in fright, and saw that Sanniang and the others were already hurriedly packing up their things.

"Let's go, the storm is coming." Sanniang grabbed Qing Huan's hand and dragged her forward against the wind.

She didn't know where to go, it was dark in front of her, and she only felt the sand lapping on her face, which made people feel a dull pain.

It was difficult to walk against the wind, she couldn't see anyone, except for the hand that was tightly clasped on her wrist, so that she could feel Sanniang's presence.

It seemed that after walking for a long time, Sanniang stuffed her under a leeward stone, and she finally got rid of the attack of the sand.

"Sanniang?" Qing Huan shouted tentatively, but she didn't hear any answer except for the wind.

I can't touch anyone around, where is Sanniang?

After a while, Qing Huan felt that someone was hiding next to her again.

"Sanniang?"

"Sanniang went back to pick up people." It was Lao Zhao's voice, spitting sand out as he spoke.

Qing Huan was very worried, such a big storm, in case Sanniang couldn't find here, would they still be able to find a place to hide from the wind?

This worry continued until the storm stopped, and Qing Huan had to choose to accept reality.

In front of them, the grains of sand had been piled up to their chests, and they had been trying to break through the pile, otherwise they might have been buried long ago.

Qing Huan was anxious to go out to find Sanniang, and desperately picked up the sand pile and opened a way.

The outside world has all changed, but nothing seems to have changed.

The desert is still the same desert, the way to come and the way to go, have been submerged under layers of yellow sand.

"Sanniang~" Qing Huan shouted in a thirsty voice, and the voice was quickly swallowed up by the desert, leaving no trace.
