Chapter Ninety-Six: Overnight in Red Willow Bay

Therefore, thinking of this, Qin Zhen comforted Gu Jie a few words, "At present, no one can say what is going on with him." Let's not suspect that there are dark ghosts, let's think he taught him with a master of Sun Monkey! As far as his temperament is concerned, even if we are curious to death, we can't figure out why it happens. What's more, in this desert, our brothers say that heroes are useless if they sound good, and a burden if they say something unpleasant, so let's be strict with ourselves......"

As soon as Gu Jie finished listening, he hurriedly waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Big earthquake, don't talk nonsense." It's you who is burdensome, not our ......! I'm a hero who still has some use. As for you, it's like the rabbit on August 15--- with you for the holiday, and without you. ”

Qin Zhen was about to turn his face after hearing this, when he heard Yu Dong at the front turn around and say, "We're almost here, I saw the red willow, this should be the habitat of wild camels." Everyone, get ready, rest here tonight, and maybe go out tomorrow! ”

When you hear this, you can't mention how excited you are! There were a little bitter smiles on their faces. The exhausting running, the frightened fear, and the double torture made everyone's body overdrawn! Coupled with the devastation of the harsh environment that is like fire during the day and frozen at night, the iron-beaten man can't stand it!

Qin Zhen can't care about arguing with Gu Jie! As soon as I heard that I saw the red willows, my tears of excitement were about to fall! The red willow, also known as the strange willow, is a plant that grows on the edge of the desert or on the dry riverbed. The vitality is very tenacious, and it is the favorite food of camels, cows and horses. And if you really talk about this thing, it's pretty good-looking! Of course, none of the advantages of this qiē can compare to the fact that it survives on the edge of the desert!!

The edge... That pretty much means it's not far away! We haven't done anything yet, but we still need to replenish our equipment and food before we can make plans. Otherwise, let alone continue to look for Wang Bin, Zhen Guobi, and Luojia...... It is estimated that in another week, they may all be over the first seven together! So, it's a bit more realistic. Stabilize dìng first, and then think long-term.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Yudong, everyone came to a sand nest. There are indeed large patches of strange willows growing here, and the reddish-purple flowers are particularly bright. It forms a strong contrast with the desolate desert, and it is very dazzling. It was the only living thing they had ever seen in the desert except for wild camels and monsters.

Admittedly, the wild camels have already found their way to survive in the harsh environment! Let's talk about this habitat of theirs! The terrain is located at the corner of two fixed sand dunes, making it perfect for sheltering from the wind and sand! What's more, finding two such huge fixed sand dunes in a mobile desert like Taklamakan is just as difficult as going out to pick up a wallet!

Most of all, this haven is home to a large number of various desert plants. There are bizarre flowers, bizarre shrubs, and even trees that can't be named! Despite the harsh geographical environment, there is still a thriving scene in this small harbor.

Looking at these plants with tenacious vitality, Qin Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is probably no more tenacious and magnificent life in this world than them! This is very much in line with the nature of camels.

There is also a small ditch in the densely planted area, and it seems that the camels are definitely rich in living and drinking water on weekdays. However, Qin Zhen and the others don't seem to have any light. for the puddle was filthy and full of yellow sand. And most of the water here is salty, bitter and astringent, and you can't drink it at all.

So when they discovered this small water source, no one felt tears in their eyes because of excitement. Because everyone knows that even on the island, if you can't find fresh water, you can only watch the sea die of thirst. Human beings, the living conditions are too high! The most useless, but also the most squeamish.

These large areas of red willow are also called strange willows. Flowering and fruiting everywhere, powerful rhizome tentacles can go straight into the ground up to more than 30 meters deep to absorb water! What a stubborn vitality this is.

Also, red willow doesn't like quicksand. But every time it is buried, it will come out of the sand again, stretching out thin branches and young leaves, and then tenaciously blooming small pale red flowers. With a splendid attitude, with tenacious vitality and ruthless desert shouting!

The young leaves on the fiery red branches are the best feed for camels. Moreover, they were born in such a cruel environment, and they still have quite high medical and pharmaceutical value. For the Tibetans who suffer from rheumatism and severe cold, this red willow is also known as the 'Guanyin willow'. With this one name, it is completely possible to explain their miraculous efficacy and value.

In the desert, whether it is an animal or a plant, as long as it can survive, it has enough tenacious vitality to make human beings ashamed! That kind of tenacity and tenacity, how can it be a quality that ordinary people have?

But in the end, thanks to the blessing of wild camels, I finally found such a slightly better place to sleep. After all, it's better than finding a random place on their own, and then maybe they wake up to find that they have already been buried in the yellow sand.

Everyone finally found some dry branches and lit a bonfire. Not to mention whether to warm up or not, using the light of the fire can at least drive away those less popular creatures such as sand wolves, sand pythons, and so on. All of them were too tired, and they really didn't have the body and energy to fight another human-beast battle.

Lan Qing shared the food for everyone, and it seemed that she was quite wealthy, and even seemed to be able to eat several meals. However, at this time, Qin Zhen couldn't eat a mouthful. The first is that I can't swallow this kind of food these days. What's more, once you think about your situation at this moment, how big a person must be to be able to eat? ?

And Qin Zhen now has a stomach full of questions that he wants to ask clearly! But Yudong's attitude of resistance made Qin Zhen only suppress himself vigorously, and accused himself not to ask him any questions. Of course, even if he asked, he didn't necessarily say, so why bother looking ugly.

After drinking some more water, Qin Zhen lay down tiredly. I want to be able to take care of the current situation and the next course of action when I can't sleep. After all, their current trail seems to be interrupted. Especially when I got lost in the desert, the situation is really not optimistic.

Originally, in this case, Qin Zhen should have subconsciously wanted to smoke. But the truth is not the case, he suddenly remembered that when he first arrived in Dunhuang, Yudong said that he was too diligent in smoking, and said that he could not do this again after entering the desert.

Looking back now, it's really true, every word is good! At this moment, every organ in my body is strongly protesting against such an arid environment! Even the most basic breathing has become a burden on the lungs and respiratory tract! Not to mention smoking...... It's going to have a smoky, smoky feeling!

Without the refreshing effect of nicotine, the feeling of exhaustion invades the brain and consciousness more and more. But even when he was in a daze, Qin Zhen still clearly told himself: he must get out of the desert alive, but before he goes out, he must finish these few things.

First, Wang Bin. No matter how unbelievable and terrifying things are today, Qin Zhen and Gu Jie came here to find Wang Bin. But to this day, although Wang Bin's traces have appeared both real and illusory, it has always been a mystery of life and death. So no matter what, Qin Zhen also had to figure out where his best friend's final return was.

Second, Zhen Guobi. That evil ghost jade doesn't know how many irreparable horrors it will cause. Although I don't know where it was taken, it seems certain that it is still in this desert, in these mysteriously disappeared ancient cities! Therefore, if Qin Zhen wants to follow what Wang Bin said, he must see it with his own eyes, or even destroy it with his own hands.

As for the rest, of course, there will be the mysterious background of Yudong, the leaves full of the fate of the country, the meaning of the word 'Luojia' left by the old man Wang, and even the identity of the eleventh person...... There are too many answers that Qin Zhen wants to pursue, but it seems that all the clues are also clearly guiding the way--- that is, the whole truth is hidden in this devilish desert.

Qin Zhen fell asleep in a daze, but these thoughts in his mind were like self-hypnosis, making those already firm beliefs even more persistent! He knew that he would definitely walk out of the desert with the answers he was seeking. Therefore, there must be that kind of determination to 'never return Loulan if it is not broken'!
