Chapter 1032: Crossing the Quicksand Zone

"Sister, will you slow down? It's been a short day of walking, can we find a leeward place first, drink saliva and rest for a while? As the sky got dark, Ma Chengfeng chased after him and asked.

In this afternoon, Chang Xiaoman has been silently hurrying in front of him, without saying a word to him, it seems that he is really angry.

"Huh? Tell me a word? I'm convinced! Ma Chengfeng chattered.

Xiao Man turned his head and glared hard, then flicked the reins, and the camel ran a few steps, leaving Ma Chengfeng behind.

"Let's go! I'm tired anyway, so I'll sleep here, huh? Ma Chengfeng saw that Xiao Man initiated the eldest lady's temper and ignored him, so he had to sprinkle it too. He simply rolled over and jumped off the camel, and fell on all fours to the cold sand.

The sand wind was violent, and he was expected to be buried in the sand in a few minutes.

Xiao Man hurriedly turned around and dragged him up. "Ma Chengfeng, when did you become such a scoundrel? Crazy, isn't it? ”

"Hey...... Daughter-in-law, you finally talked to me, aren't I afraid that you will be angry? Ma Chengfeng said with a hippie smile.

"I'm scared of you! Let's go, let's find a leeward place to rest? You can't sleep here, can you? "Xiao Man couldn't resist it, he finally gave in." I ask you, why did Cashura return to the desert alone to find her people after she was separated from us? ”

"With a child's heart, if you are wronged outside, you will definitely want to go home." Ma Chengfeng didn't want to answer.

"You! I always say I'm smart! Think about it with your pig brain, how smart Khashura is, if there is not some reason why she needs to take such a big risk to cross the Taklamakan ? There are gypsies all over the world, so why doesn't she go to Europe? Why don't you go to Australia? Running into this desert of death? I'm telling you! Women know women best, no matter what she does, she has a purpose, we must find her! Perhaps the Adar tribe is hiding a big secret, and it may have something to do with the Eye of Amira! ”

None of these children of the rivers and lakes were given for nothing, if all they had in their heads all day long was eating, drinking, and having fun, they would have died many times. After she said this, Ma Chengfeng suddenly realized.

That's right, about the information about the Eye of Ameira, Khasilla knows no less than they do. Why did you choose to return to Alda at this time?

"Hey...... You are really the little Zhuge next to me! Well, I misunderstood you, Master Soldier! ”

"Gee, don't be hippie, I'm not kidding you. Khasiura, do we have to fight for it, hear? ”

"Okay, okay, don't rest, let's continue on the road!" The two of them slept in the open air, day and night, and walked in the desert for another night.

At sunrise, I finally saw a village in front of me, but it didn't look like the legendary Adar, the village was not big, the houses were new, and there were a few rows of poplar trees planted behind the village, but maybe the wind and sand in recent years have become bigger and bigger, and the environment is bad, so the villagers have to move their families to the south.

There is no one in the old village, the yellow sand has not buried the small village, and there are still a few pieces of furniture left in the house.

"This should be the Karamagai that Lu Tai said, let's rest for a while, shall we?" Chang Xiaoman was tired, and after tying up the camel, the two found a house to shelter from the wind and sand.

"Daughter-in-law, you rest first, I'll boil some water for you, and there is firewood for us to keep, not bad!" Ma Chengfeng was quite conscious, knowing that he had offended Xiao Man, and took the initiative to serve her.

There was a stove in the house, and on the stove was a big iron pot, Ma Chengfeng wanted to try his luck to see if there was anything to eat inside. Although he didn't find anything to eat after opening the lid, he found that the pot seemed to be still hot.

"Xiao Man? She's been here, it's hot, don't stop, let's go! ”

In this season, there is no one else in the Taklamakan anymore, and even if there are people, they will go out from the desert like the Luthai and them, instead of going north through the Death Desert. Finally finding the traces left by Khasiella, the two of them could no longer take a break, and continued to walk further north with their tired bodies in their hands.

After passing Karamagai, the trajectory of the two camels was a little strange, Ma Chengfeng found that the front was obviously a flat sandy area, but after the camels came here, they made the gods deliberately go around in a circle, and then walk.

He looked back and looked closely, ouch, but it was amazing, fortunately they were riding on camels, and a small whirlpool appeared in the sand that the camels had bypassed, and the center of the whirlpool was constantly wriggling, like a black hole, sucking all the sand around it! It's a quicksand pit!

Seeing this scene, the two couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Khajura and speed up their march.

There is a long way to go, and it is not even certain whether Khashura is alive or dead, and if she really dies in this desert, I am afraid that the body will not be traced.

The two of them rode the camel, their bodies swaying back and forth with the pulsating footsteps of the camel, and they walked for another little day, and finally the two of them couldn't stand it anymore, and vomited all the little things they had eaten in the morning.

"It turns out that people can not only get motion sickness, but also camels?" Ma Chengfeng shook his head and said.

"If you insist on it, I don't believe that Khashura can do it, can't we?"

God is hungry and can't die of the sparrows, maybe the sincerity of the two really touched God, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sand wind is getting smaller and smaller, and the sunset is gradually revealing on the horizon.

In fact, they were sleepy, hungry and thirsty now, but the long-distance bumps had made them unconscious, and they could only continue to walk forward mechanically.

"Daughter-in-law...... What time is it? Ma Chengfeng looked at his head, hugged the hump with both hands and asked lazily.

"I don't know, it's almost sunset, maybe it's five o'clock. We have to find a place to rest for a while, our bodies can't stand it if we go on like this! Chang Xiaoman finally couldn't hold on.

The Taklamakan Desert witnessed the prosperity of the ancient Silk Road, which in turn led to the ancient civilization of the Western Regions. Countless years ago, the Western Regions had not yet become desertified, and countless West Asian countries once prospered here. The ruins of ancient cities have been left in the desert, some of which have been excavated, and some of which have been completely swallowed up by the Yellow River.

A remnant of an ancient wall appeared not far ahead, and the two of them rode camels and hurried in that direction. At night, the desert is almost invisible, and the biggest test is the sudden drop in temperature. Many travelers can't bear the temperature difference between day and night, and before they can get out of the desert, they get a bad cold, and the lack of drinking water can have unimaginable consequences.

The sand wind abated, and the camels were no longer so slow. A few minutes later, the camel carried the two men into the remains of the ancient city.
