Hearing Wen Mo's words, I waved my hand, "You don't talk nonsense!" I asked about your own purpose, and you yourself said that even if there is no information from the second uncle, you will go into the desert. Right? ”

I asked this question, and I didn't expect to get an answer. Just because it's not unpleasant not to vomit.

Unexpectedly, Wen Mo nodded, "That's right, I have my own purpose." I'm here to verify one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" I was excited in my heart, I damn it, this big brother is the first time to let go of this kind of question I asked, how can I let it go.

Wen Mo continued to look into the distance, "I want to verify a person's life and death. ”

"The life and death of a man?" I didn't quite understand, so I hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”

"Someone who has a relationship with me."

"Then ......," I wanted to ask.

Wen Mo raised his hand to interrupt me, "Okay, it's almost time, and we're ready to go." ”

At this moment, I feel as if I went to the orchard to steal apples when I was a child, and before I could get the biggest apple in front of me, the orchard watcher came back. The feeling of imminent satisfaction came to an abrupt end, and it was really unpleasant!

Gradually, a round of red sun jumped out of the morning mist, and ten thousand rays of light illuminated the entire desert, and also dyed the endless grains of sand red. The mist gradually receded in the sunlight, and the sky and the earth became clear and bright.

We prepared a lot of water and food and loaded our gear on the camels. So we greeted the rising sun, said goodbye to Sadiq, rode on the tall camels, and thought about the vast sea of sand.

If the last time we went out to sea was full of blue oceans, then we can see the yellow "ocean" as far as our eyes can see.

Here we can only see two colors, a sea of yellow sand and a clear blue sky. From time to time, you can see a poplar forest or a few clusters of sand dates, like a little reef in this yellow sand sea.

At first, we all felt very fresh about the magnificent scene in front of us, and we were full of scenery as far as the eye could see. Kong Xue will also take out her camera from time to time to take pictures.

Dawut walked at the front of the group, occasionally pulling out the leather pot at his waist and drinking a little, but each time he didn't drink much, only a small sip.

I leaned over curiously and asked, "Uncle Dawut, is there wine or water in your pot?" ”

Dawut smiled, "Guess what! ”

I pointed to the pot in his hand, "Look at the way you look like you drink a little bit every time, I guess it's a bar in it?" ”

Dawut laughed, "Wine...... he patted his waist on the other side, "The wine is here, don't dare to drink too much wine, don't bring much, save some!" This," he said, raising the leather pot in his hand, "here is water." Hey, let me tell you, in the desert, you have to drink a little water from time to time, of course, you can't drink too much, after all, water is limited. And don't wait until you're very thirsty to save water, because that doesn't save water and it's dangerous. ”

Dawut's Chinese is not very fluent, and I don't understand it very well.

Shi Tao rushed up to me and said, "Let me explain to you, the temperature in the desert will be very high during the day, and the sunlight will reflect and release the heat from the surface sand, especially in summer. Therefore, during the day, the human body dissipates a large amount of heat, and sweat will increase, if you wait until you are very thirsty, and replenish a large amount of water at one time, it is easy to cause electrolyte imbalance in the body, which can easily cause physical dysfunction and cause disease. Therefore, in the desert, you should maintain a good habit of replenishing water in small amounts at regular intervals. ”

I nodded, "I see, I'll understand as soon as you say that." ”

In fact, as Shi Tao said, the sun was strong near noon, and the temperature in the desert became very high. We all wore hats and wind masks. By this time my forehead was already sweating.

After the initial novelty slowly wears off, it is replaced by dryness and tedium. The sand dunes in the distance are endless, and after walking through one sand dune and another in front of me, the surrounding scenery seems to have never changed, and I sometimes wonder if we are moving forward.

After climbing over a sand dune, we saw a small sea in the position surrounded by several sand dunes not far ahead. There are several lush poplar trees growing around, and there is a lot of vegetation growing around Haizi. Under the sunlight, the water surface is sparkling, like a crystal embedded there, crystal clear.

Dawut pointed to the sea and said, "Let's go there and rest." ”

Everyone was already feeling a little tired, and as soon as they heard Dawu mention this, they immediately shook their spirits and walked towards Haizi at a faster pace.

We came to the edge of Haizi, maybe because of the water, and I felt that the temperature here was a little cooler than just now. Kong Xue couldn't wait to take off her hat and mask, and walked to the water's edge to wash it. Women are always like this, and tidying up is always the thing they care about the most.

I didn't feel much wind just now, but when I took off my mask, I realized that my face was covered with a layer of fine sand.

A desert is indeed a desert, and there is sand everywhere, and it exists in the air in the heavens and the earth. So I went to the water and washed my face.

Dawut found a leeward place, and then distributed the dry food on the camels to everyone, and at this time he could only eat a little, after all, in this place, there was no requirement for food. Actually, we still brought some delicious food, such as canned beef and some jerky, but we should wait until after camping in the evening and enjoy it slowly.

We had just eaten two bites when Wenmo suddenly said, "Someone is coming!" ”

We were immediately alert, and following the direction of Wen Mo's finger, there were several people riding camels on the sand dunes, and they were also approaching us quickly.

I smiled, "It's rare, you can still meet a companion here?" ”

Dawut said: "This is not unusual, this is not the depths of the desert, and it is possible to occasionally meet some merchant groups or tourists. But," Dawut frowned halfway through. He didn't seem to have anything to say.

"But how?" Shi Tao asked.

Dawut pondered for a moment, "The direction in which this group of people came seems to have come from the heart of the desert. At this time, caravans and tourists are unlikely to go there. ”

Kong Xue's expression changed, "Uncle Dawuti, do you mean that there is something wrong with these people?" ”

Dawut shook his head, "It's not good, be careful anyway." ”

This time, due to the rush of time, the equipment prepared by Shi Tao was not like the last Qilian Mountain, each person had an FMG9, and this time each person's self-defense weapon was just a military dagger.

A few of us quietly hid the dagger at our waists. Vigilantly observing the people who were getting closer and closer.

The speed of these men was very fast, as if they were desperately driving the camels. Kong Xue looked at these people and said, "What are these people doing so fast?" In a hurry? ”

Shi Tao shook his head, "I look at them very embarrassed, maybe they see this Haizi, if there is a lack of water in the desert, seeing Haizi is like seeing life." ”

I nodded, thinking that Shi Tao's analysis made sense, but when I looked at Dawuti, I noticed that he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon those people ran over, there were a total of four people in this group, two Uyghurs and two Han Chinese, these four people didn't care about us at all, they ran to Haizi like crazy, held the water in their hands and drank wildly.

Dawut, who was on the side, shook his head and walked over, "You guys look like this, you can't drink more water, you have to control it!" Otherwise, it's dangerous! ”

The two Uyghurs should have some experience in the desert, and when they heard Dawut's words, they nodded and stopped. But the two Han people still kept drinking, and in the end, it was the two Uyghurs who pulled the two people up.

Four people were lying or sitting on the ground, gasping for air. The five of us didn't speak, just watched them quietly.

After a long while, the two Uighurs stood up, looked at us, and then said to Dawut: "Rehemat! ”

Dawut waved his hand and said, "Azmaidu! ”

Since Shi Tao had spent his early years in Xinjiang, I quietly asked him, "What did they say?" ”

Shi Tao said: "It's nothing, it's just that they say thank you, and Dawut says you're welcome." ”

At this moment, one of the Han people suddenly jumped up, pointed at the two Uyghurs and shouted: "What kind of road did you take, Lao Tzu TM almost ......"

Another Han man next to him hurriedly pulled him and gave him a look. The man looked at us, and then closed his mouth angrily.

Another Han man stood up, nodded at us, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, it's really a pleasure to meet, you are also here to travel?" ”

Shi Tao also smiled, "We're not here to travel, we're here to conduct scientific investigation and research, these three," Shi Tao said, pointing at me, Kong Xue and Wenmo, "These three are doctoral students from Northwest University of Geosciences, and they came to the desert to conduct research this time." ”

I can't help but admire Shi Tao's ability to tell lies and not make drafts.

The Han man hurriedly came over and shook hands with us, "Oh, disrespectful, disrespectful, it turns out that they are all scientists, what a blessing!" ”

I was a little surprised, so I asked, "Listen to your tone, are you here to travel?" You can travel far enough. ”

The Han man was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hey, don't mention it, we originally asked these two friends to help me lead the way," he pointed to the two Uyghurs, "Unexpectedly, they also accidentally got lost, and ended up taking us into the desert hinterland by mistake, and it took two days to get out." He let out a long sigh.
