It looked very close, but it took a lot of time to set foot on that path. Walking on this path, Youxiao's heart Kanter is uneasy, and he doesn't know what will greet him? But it seems that no one has walked this road for a long time. If he had come a few months later, he might have been wiped out by the dust that was encroaching on the grasslands.

After walking along the path for a while, there were houses in front of me, and it seemed to be a small village. Youxiao was very excited, hurried over, and found a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, which was engraved with "Tiebu Village". Youxiao thought to herself, "The map doesn't show that there is another village here!" What is this place? ”

The village seems to have been invaded by the desert, full of sandy piles, dilapidated houses, sparse plants, and no one else lives there. From time to time, you can also see the skeletons of some livestock emerging from the yellow sand, which adds to the gloomy feeling.

Youxiao shouted as she walked inside, "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone in the village? "Suddenly" boom! With a bang, a corner of the eaves fell. He was startled, presumably by his voice, and the houses were already weak.

Youxiao suddenly remembered something, and he took out the printed hand-drawn pencil sketch in the information. Referring to the scene drawn above, I walked around the village. The roof, windows and doors, and building structures are vaguely depicted in this picture. It's just that there is no scene of the activities of the characters in the painting. It seems that this is the former gathering place of the Xuan people. Only now it has been abandoned and has become a relic of the desertification of the steppe.

He used a video camera to film the inside and outside of the village as a document. In the process, Youxiao found that people seemed to be in a hurry, the utensils were messy, and the courtyard door and room door were not closed. "Where did they migrate? Could it be near Lake She? It's closer to the Gobi Desert! ”

But now that you're here, Youxiao has no other choice. He could only make another trip to Lake She, which was the only remaining clue. Whether or not the remnants of the Xuan clan can be found, it is good to draw a temporary end to his mission. The rest is to cooperate with the archaeological team, but the captain of the archaeological team has not contacted him, and he does not have the phone number of the other party, so he can only wait. But God knows when the phone will ring, what happened to them? Will it come?

But there is no need for him to wait for the archaeological team, and he can move around the area. So Youxiao continued to walk east into the Gobi and reluctantly bid farewell to the prairie. Although the map shows that the location of the lake is very close to the grassland, after all, it is in the desert Gobi, and it is unknown how many grasslands have been swallowed by desertification. After the last encounter with the coyote, he was terrified from the moment he stepped into this desert Gobi alone. And he made three more gravel packages and tied them to his body, just in case he couldn't find the coyote but found it, he could get out quickly.

The same sunlight is particularly hot in the desert Gobi. It didn't go far before the water brought by Youxiao ran out. Gradually, he began to fall into a situation of heat and thirst, dry mouth and nose. At this time, he really hoped that Lake could be an oasis in the desert and that he could reach it quickly. He urged himself to pick up his pace, to steam up, and to sprint towards the oasis of desire.

Two hours later, he finally saw the tent tips floating faintly on the horizon, one by one. It's not going to be a mirage! Because Youxiao's physical strength has been exhausted, he must reach Lake as soon as possible, and he can't hold on. But the scene in this heat wave is still undulating and dreamlike.
