Fire burns the clouds

After the Uyghur guide finished speaking, he supported himself on the ground with his arms and knelt down to the vast desert machinery, during which there were no words, and even the part of praying with his palms together was omitted.

At the time of Shen, the sun was no longer as hot as before, and the heat wave on the sand was gradually subsiding, and the distance was gradually becoming clearer.

"No way." I tried to look at the rolling sand dunes in front of me, and muttered to myself weakly.

The Black Bull, the Mercenary, and the Sixth Master's men all leaned straight to the sand like stakes that had been knocked down by a raft, exhausted and sleepy, and they couldn't care about the scorching heat of the sand.

The black bull took a few breaths and grumbled; "Damn, now I'm holding a knife on my neck, and my master can't walk." With that, he reached out and tore off the coat tucked into his backpack and covered it over his head.

Zhang Xuefeng held his tanned face and scolded everyone in a hoarse voice: "If you don't die, fuck up!" Except for the board and sitting up, the others didn't move. Zhang Xuefeng frowned, decisively raised "Thompson", and shot twice at the vast sky. I don't know if it's because I'm too tired, or if the sky of the sand sea is too vast, and those two gunshots sound empty and distant. Zhang Xuefeng still had a gloomy face, and scolded angrily: "Get up!" ”

Gu Yixin lifted her legs from the hunchback and stepped down, she tore off the scarf on her face, drank the last bit of water in the kettle, and said to Zhang Xuefeng: "Let everyone take a break." Zhang Xuefeng put down Thompson, who had been lifted again, hesitated, and then sat on the ground.

The sixth master and the divine medicine woman are very old, and after several days of rapid marching, the body's endurance has reached its limit. Li's entourage and Alai got down from the hunchback, the sixth master was panting heavily, Miao Yiding hurriedly took out a pill from the medicine box he carried with him, and let the sixth master take it, which gradually calmed down. The medicine woman took a sip of the water that Alai handed over, and sat cross-legged in the shadow of the camel, unable to tell whether her condition was good or bad.

Gao Moli sat beside our camel with a kettle in his hand and one leg bent, his face calm, occasionally looking into the distance.

Gu Yixin walked to me with his slender legs, glanced into the distance, and asked, "Old Su, how is the situation?" ”

"There's no way. Further on, the Dark River was nowhere to be found. As I spoke, I felt a dry pain in my throat, and subconsciously shook the kettle around my waist, which was already empty.

"What to do? Which direction do we go next? Gu Yixin looked at me and added, "I know, you must have a way." ”

Her gaze was sharp and determined, and I was uncomfortable to see, and I touched my throat and replied, "I'll have to wait." ”

Gu Yixin's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he reminded: "Our water has run out, you know, this is a very dangerous thing in the desert, if we wait any longer, we are afraid that we will all have to go to see God." ”

I smiled bitterly, "Yes, you see God, if we want to see the Buddha, we will see the Buddha, and see the king of Hades." ”

"It's all this time, you're still poor!" Gu Yixin saw that I could still talk and laugh, and the worry in his heart suddenly decreased a little, and urged: "Let's talk about it, at least so that everyone can feel at ease." ”

"There is no trace of the Dark River, and we cannot rush forward. Based on the comparison of our march route and the map of the parchment, I guess that we should not be far from Hades now. The ancients could locate the location of the tomb according to the astrological signs, and we can also find it according to the good fortune and evil of the astrological signs. Just wait a few more hours, and where the road is going, we will know by asking the stars in the sky. After saying so much in one breath, my throat was itchy and dry, and I couldn't help coughing twice.

"Looks like we're going to have to wait." The corners of Gu Yixin's eyebrows rose, clapped his hands, and said to everyone, "Section Chief Su has already cut off the location of the Hades Palace, everyone rests on the spot, and hurries overnight after dark." After that, only Zhang Xuefeng and Ban Cuntou responded twice.

At this moment, no matter what Gu Yixin said, I didn't bother to correct it anymore, so I turned around and walked to Gao Moli and sat down. He unscrewed the lid of the kettle in his hand and handed it to me, and I was pleasantly surprised: there was more than half a kettle in the kettle! At this point, this half pot of water is simply lifesaving!

I raised my head and poured a few sips of "goo dong" and "goo dong", and the cool spring water flowed down my throat, and my body and mind were indescribably comfortable! "It's so cool!" I stuffed the kettle to Gao Moli: "You can drink some too." ”

He didn't answer, tilted his head slightly, and took two sips unhurriedly into the spout, the Adam's apple slid and the water entered the cavity, and I suddenly felt that what he was drinking was not water, but an old wine. My so-called refreshment, with him, seems to have become another kind of throbbing.

They sat next to each other and were silent for a long time. Maybe I was so tired that I fell asleep unconsciously with my backpack.

When I woke up again, my eyes were red, and the sky with the sand dunes before was as if it was on fire! Before he could recognize it, he only heard Gu Yixin's surprise exclaim: "God! This...... This should be a fire cloud! ”
