Since we bought knives and guns, this group of people has not chased after them, it seems that they still have some brains, after returning to the hotel, I am worrying, how to find the little uncle in such a large place, in Lin Zi's words is very simple, his suggestion is to go directly to Shazigou.

Shazigou, I heard the proprietress say that it is the closest place to Tengger, and it is also the last stop to enter Tengger, there is a small river, the river water drills out from the ground, and finally dips into the bottom, it is like a fish in the desert, only showing a shallow back, no one has ever seen it dry up, so many people who come to Tengger to explore take it as the last supply point.

And its geographical location is also very suitable for exploration, because east of Shazigou I heard that there are countless ruins of the ancient city, some buried deep underground, some exposed in the desert, these ruins, attract a lot of explorers.

The next day, we bought two military kettles and two military compasses, got into the carriage in the hotel and rushed to the east, walked a dozen kilometers, the road came to an end, the rest of the way we had to go on foot, according to the proprietress said, as long as we did not lose our way, if we walked in a straight line, after more than five hours, we could reach Shazigou.

If the sand dunes of the Tengger Desert are compared to a big mountain, then the last stop of the sand ditch is undoubtedly the foot of the mountain, and we are still on the way to the bottom of the mountain.

Although the sun is not very strong, but the sand for half a day, the temperature is still very high, I grabbed a handful of sand, with a feeling that the temperature is definitely above 50 degrees, I also considered making a car before, but we looked for a long time, stunned did not find one, because the town is too partial, so there is no gas station, in this case, the horse has become the best means of transportation, the speed of the horse is faster than the camel, but it is not suitable for long distances, because the road is very solid, so I did not feel any difference, the end of the road, It is the vast desert, as far as the eye can see, there is not a single grass.

We said hello to the uncle on horseback, and then collapsed on the golden yellow sand, the sand is very soft, a big footprint, a little hard people will slide down, I heard the forest say, the desert here is mostly a crescent-shaped dune chain, the sand dunes are like a chain linked to a ring, the more you go inside, the higher the sand dunes, some places are even as high as 100 meters, in the edge of the dune chain there are also many large and small freshwater lakes, the surrounding water and grass are abundant, it is the main local pasture.

Walking forward for more than half an hour, sure enough, as Lin Zi said, there was a large freshwater lake in front of us, roughly estimated that there are at least dozens of them, the smallest of which is about the size of a basin, the water is very hot, and it is not suitable for drinking, around the lake, the grass is everywhere, the trees are shady, there are a few herdsmen are enjoying the shade under the trees, not far from the lake, there are a few houses in the sparse Lala, it seems to be a temporary residence, seeing us coming, the herdsmen's faces showed a look of surprise, it seems that they should not often contact outsiders.

Lin Zi walked over and asked him if he had seen a young man in a blue shirt pass by, only to see the herdsman shake his head, Lin Zi thought he didn't understand, so he explained to him that it was a dirty, tattered person like a flower child, have you ever seen it?

The herdsman shook his head.

I stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zi and asked him not to explain anymore, it was not that he hadn't seen him, but that he didn't understand it at all, the people here were different from the outside, they had never gone out, and they almost didn't know that there were three words in Mandarin, and the language barrier made it impossible for us to communicate.

Passing through the lake, the road ahead was very different, and the footprints of camels began to appear on the sand, the footprints were deep in the sand, but each step was calm, this was the source of the ruins of the ancient road, and the place where the group of people in strange costumes frequented.

Ancient road wanderers, desert merchants, in short, as long as the people who go to the Tengger Desert, will pass through the sand ditch, follow the camel print, there will be absolutely no mistake, I took out the compass and looked at the direction, the pointer shows the east, although the camel print is crooked, but the direction has not changed, it seems that the person who walked in front of us is a veteran.

After making up our minds, Lin Zi and I no longer hesitated, and strode eastward, it was twelve o'clock at noon, and we must rush to Shazigou before six o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise, we really can't bear the night in the desert.

As we walked on, the vegetation was becoming scarce, and the camel drivers walked well on the routes, just avoiding the high dunes and arid sand, and walking closer to the river.

I also saw cacti not far away, they were clustered in the desert, like fish dying of thirst, the forest found several cactus fruits on a large cactus, he handed me a few, I peeled them off and tasted them, and it was sweet and mellow and full of fragrance.

I heard Lin Zi say that not everything can be eaten here, just like the desert flower next to the cactus is very beautiful, but it is a poisonous thing, the ancients said that it is good, the longer the good-looking thing, the more it can not be touched.

Since eating this food, my spirits have become extraordinarily good, and I still feel a little chill under the scorching sun.

But this chill did not last long, I took a few steps forward, and suddenly, my stomach felt like someone had been hit with a hammer, and it hurt all of a sudden, and the pain came very quickly, and I couldn't stand up in pain after only a few breaths.

I felt like there was a thousand pounds of boulders hidden inside, and the person who fell couldn't breathe at all, I hunched over and knelt on the ground, beads of sweat the size of beans kept falling, and there was only one thought in my mind, damn, poisoned.

"Lin Zi...... Isn't that ...... Is it the immortal...... Cactus fruit is poisonous? I asked, almost groaning.

Lin Zi ate more than me, and he was lying on the ground in pain, but he still bit it, "Damn, I don't know, but I feel that it shouldn't be in the way, fairy fruit fairy fruit, it doesn't hurt, how can you get the right fruit, it's good if it hurts." ”

As soon as I heard it, this was pure fucking nonsense, and I immediately became angry, "What the fuck are you...... At this time, you still have ...... Kung Fu is to me...... Tell me what the hell is this...... Isn't it ......"

Before I could finish speaking, I saw that as soon as Lin Zi turned over, he suddenly rolled down from the sand dune, and there were several cacti standing next to the dunes.
