After Qin Zhen reacted, he immediately stopped: "No! We're not short of this! Do you look like you're okay? You're not only bloody, how can we keep going? Are you going to leave a bloodstained legacy in this desert? I have gauze in my bag, you can wait for a while" As he spoke, Qin Zhen began to rummage through his bag to find bandages as quickly as he could.

Finally found it, and after holding it in his hand, Qin Zhen was even more anxious. Because he is a rough man, where did he learn medical care? How can I stop the bleeding quickly? Or is it the end of wrapping him up like a mummy?

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen's impatient appearance expressionlessly, and then reached out to take the bandage, "I'll do it myself." ”

After saying that, he unbuttoned his shirt, and there were many wounds on his smooth shoulders and back. The bloodstained wound was shocking to see Qin Zhen! But there was no trace of pain on Yudong's face, as if it was someone else's blood. He just bit one end of the bandage, then skillfully wrapped it around a few times, and finally tore it, tied the knot, put on his shirt, and then stood in front of Qin Zhen's eyes like no one else.

Qin Zhen opened his mouth, guilt and gratitude, as well as surprise that made him completely unable to organize his own language. I can only stiffly say, "I'm sorry I hurt you."

Yudong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Let's hurry up! With that, he walked to the three-story tower.

Unlike below, the signs of yellow sand burial here are relatively better. At least they can walk up the steps that lead to the top of the city. But in this not too wide space, a strange feeling of discord is constantly heating up.

The pitch-black walls were full of the Si Tan script that Yuto had said, and even the steps had blurred handwriting. This made Qin Zhen begin to wonder when this text was left. He had no way of believing that this was a deliberate act of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty when he built the Yumen Pass.

I turned a corner to the second floor, and the sky light above was faintly visible. Judging by the sky, it is indeed approaching dusk. Without much delay, the two hurriedly walked up the steps to the top floor, but as soon as they took two steps, both of them stopped at the same time, and their eyes were full of shock and astonishment! Because there was something they didn't expect on the top of the steps--- shoes. A modern, not too old shoe.

This shoe looks like it was dropped here recently, and it will definitely not be very long. Qin Zhen only felt a buzz in his head! Wang! This is the only possibility he can think of right now! And looking at the style of that shoe, it is also very similar to Wang Bin's usual wearing habits. Qin Zhen's heart sank, all the guesses and possibilities before he came to the desert were now all affirmed in Qin Zhen's mind! If there was still a trace of fantasy and luck in my heart before, now this shoe has been completely shattered. Qin Zhen only wanted to know what Bin Zi had encountered that would make him run away from his shoes in a panic

After coming back to his senses, Qin Zhen rushed forward like crazy! Three steps and two steps up the stairs to the top of the castle tower!

Standing by the city wall on the top floor, Qin Zhen actually felt that he couldn't move his legs. The black jade, which was as big as the top of the city, finally revealed its true face, which was almost like cutting a piece of jade vein and placing it on the top of the city! The sandy and wind-eroded rock layers were covered with faintly glowing black jade, and without the wrapping of this layer of sand and gravel sediments, Qin Zhen couldn't imagine how dazzling and dazzling this black jade would radiate! No wonder the legendary jade on the Jade Gate can guide the merchants of the Silk Road in the desert!

However, in the middle of the city wall, a thin figure sat motionless with his back against the stone base of the black jade, facing the outside of the city wall. There were countless pieces of paper scattered on the ground beside him.

At this time, Yu Dong was already standing behind Qin Zhen, looking at the scene in front of him, he frowned lightly and did not speak.

Qin Zhen's eyes were moist, because even from a distance, he had already recognized that the thin body was Wang Bin's grandfather. The brothers grew up together, and the elders in the family watched them grow up. Mr. Wang has always been kind and kind, always smiling and telling them stories that they still don't understand. The old man, who was in good spirits not long ago, is so dry in this desert Xiongguan at this moment

Qin Zhen endured his grief, took heavy steps, and walked towards the corpse of Old Man Wang step by step. Qin Zhen gritted his teeth so hard that the feeling of his heartbeat became heavy, just like his steps at this time, it seemed that every step weighed a thousand catties! Before coming, I thought about it, I must find the two of them, and even if it is a white bone, I must take them home. But now, when the bad news was silent but real, Qin Zhen couldn't accept it in his heart.

Finally came to the old man's side, Qin Zhen knelt down. In the desert climate, the already lean old man showed no signs of decay, he was just dried into a dried corpse. He leaned his back against the black jade stone base, holding a stack of white paper tightly in his hand, and countless papers were scattered around him. Qin Zhen could even imagine the scene of the old man watching the desert sunset on the top of this Jade Gate Pass before he died. I don't know if he finally found what he was looking for with his life, but the old man had his eyes closed, I don't know if it was because he could blind his eyes when he got here, or if he was relieved at the desert that had bound him all his life when he was dying

Behind him, Yu Dong's hand fell lightly on Qin Zhen's somewhat trembling shoulder, and he said softly, "Condolences." ”

Qin Zhen nodded, ready to lay down the old man's body, and then find a way to let him be buried in peace. But Yudong stopped him from doing so, "Leaving Yumen Pass in the west is the direction he is facing." Perhaps he died here on purpose, in this position. He wanted to look at the desert, look at the Silk Road, and see with his own eyes that the puzzles that had plagued him for half his life could be solved. ”

Hearing Yu Dong say these words lightly, Qin Zhen looked at him in confusion. I don't understand why he can say the old man's feelings so clearly.

Yu Dong could see Qin Zhen's confusion, and continued with a somewhat solemn expression, "Any old man in that team back then would have thought like this. Unlocking the secrets of this desert is their only wish. ”

This is the first time that Yu Dong has so frankly admitted the identity of Old Man Wang, and it can be regarded as his own identity. He has an inseparable relationship with the team of the old men back then.

Qin Zhen finally listened to Yu Dong's advice, and did not move the old man's body, just let him maintain this posture and look at the desert he had spent his life chasing at the top of Yumen Pass.

Yu Dong picked up the paper scattered on the ground, and then pulled out the paper he was holding tightly from Old Man Wang's hand. The two of them looked at the contents of the paper closely, and as the paper flipped over, their brows became more and more furrowed, and their eyes began to become confused and frightened.

The thick stack of paper, each without exception, was densely filled with two words--- 'Luojia'.

Qin Zhen stared at the stack of papers in disbelief, looking at the full sheets of 'Luojia, Luojia, Luojia', and an indescribable fear rose in his heart! He never imagined that the paper that Old Man Wang held in his hand until he died would be such a strange and unpredictable thing.

Qin Zhen's voice almost trembled, and he asked Xiang Yudong, "What does this mean?" That's what you're looking for? ”

Yu Dong replied expressionlessly, "No." ”

"Then why are you looking for Binzi and Grandpa? Old man, right here now, what the hell are you looking for? Qin Zhen stared at Yu Dong's still calm face with a puzzled gaze. Even he didn't understand why he said this, but a huge mystery lay ahead of him, coupled with deep sadness and fear. There was no way for him not to be suspicious of the man in front of him who was so mysterious that he didn't even know the true or false name.

Because what Yudong said at the beginning was that they had the same goal, and they were all looking for people. But now that Old Man Wang is here, Qin Zhen can't see what Yudong's purpose of looking for Old Man is at all! He had too much to hide, which made Qin Zhen feel very uncomfortable. Coupled with the grief of losing a loved one, Qin Zhen was numb for a while, so numb that he didn't know what to do. Just knelt in front of the corpse of the old man Wang like this, and was silent for a long time.

And Yu Dong just stood there indifferently and looked at Qin Zhen, without explanation, without interruption, without words.

After a while, Qin Zhen finally calmed down his feelings and tried to make himself rational, because Wang Bin hadn't found it yet. He stood up, frowning and scanning the tower, while opening his mouth a little dazedly, "Where's Binzi?" The old man is here, where is Wang Bin? The shoes on the stairs are Wang Bin's! He must have found the old man" Qin Zhen looked at the desolate city pass, feeling so powerless for the first time in his heart.

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen's current appearance, and said quietly on the side, "Judging from the direction in which the shoes fell, he has already left." ”

"What??" Qin Zhen looked at Yu Dong in disbelief, and roared with some excitement: "Wang Bin, he entered the desert regardless of life and death just to find grandpa!" Now you mean to say that he let his grandfather die here, and he ran away on his own? It's absolutely impossible!! ”

Yu Dong didn't get angry because of Qin Zhen's attitude, but still said calmly, "The situation at that time may be that Mr. Wang can't leave anymore, but he has more important things to do, so Wang Bin can only continue." ”

Qin Zhen staggered back and leaned against the city wall. He didn't understand what this qiē was! What exactly is it for!! What is it that is worth the lives of their ancestors and grandchildren??

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps from far to near in the corner tower at the other end! With the familiar sound of scolding, Qin Zhen knew that it was Gu Jie and they had found here. Hearing Gu Jie's voice, Qin Zhen's heart felt a little better, and a hanging heart finally let go. At least Gu Jie's life safety was confirmed, Old Man Wang died, Binzi's whereabouts are unknown, if he catches Lao Gu again, Qin Zhen doesn't know if he will go crazy.

When Gu Jie saw Yudong and Qin Zhen, he hurriedly quickened his pace, panting and shouting, "Ouch, two masters, I finally found you!" Hide-and-seek here isn't fun at all, you know? When we heard the gunshots just now, we were going crazy! I don't know what you will encounter" Before he finished speaking, Gu Jie saw the corpse beside Qin Zhen.

Needless to say, he could tell who it was at a glance. Gu Jie looked at the corpse fixedly, as if he had been frozen, and blinked for a long time before he looked at Qin Zhen. This is a manifestation that people generally can't accept reality, he obviously knows who it is, but he still wants to confirm it with Qin Zhen

Qin Zhen's face was full of sadness that he couldn't hide, and he looked at Gu Jie and nodded. Gu Jie opened his mouth and looked at the old man for a while, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "What about Wang Bin?" ”

"Didn't find it." Qin Zhen said so.

Everyone present was silent, and a solemn atmosphere arose. Everyone mourned in silence for the old man, who gave his life to the desert, no matter what secret he was seeking. For that reason, he is worthy of admiration.
