Thousands of miles of yellow sand, endless sand dunes. This is the unique scenery and unique momentum of the desert, no matter how monstrous you are, once you set foot in the desert, you will sincerely feel your own insignificance and powerlessness. Surrounded by yellow sand, it is as if time and time have stopped. Between heaven and earth, only one's own loneliness can make people crazy.

And the most terrible torture of walking in the desert is not loneliness, but food and water. The limited clues in Ning Yue's dossier all show that those merchants who once walked on this trade road, although they made considerable profits back and forth, all regarded this trade road as a road of death without exception.

There is a short story in it that gives Ning Yue an intuitive understanding of the cruelty of business. Let's just say that the father and son have been walking on the business road for more than ten years, and they have come and gone safely every time. However, in the last time, they were met with a sandstorm.

The father and son struggled all night in the sandstorm and managed to survive. However, his son's water bag was unfortunately swept away by a sandstorm. Originally, father and son each carried a water bag, but now there is only one left.

But later, no matter how much the son pleaded, the father did not give the son the water to drink. Until I watched my son die of thirst and die in the desert. The father was alone, dragging the cart out of the desert.

When he returned to the Central Plains, he kept silent about his son's death. Only once when he was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth and was heard by his daughter-in-law. For a time, the old man was condemned and abused by everyone.

After selling the goods and making money, he gave the money to his wife and told her that she must raise her grandson to adulthood. After that, he walked into the desert again and never returned. This little story may be critical, but Ning Yue saw the cruelty of the desert and the preciousness of the water source.

So this time, Ning Yue carried a full half of the carload of clear water. And the so-called trade goods, but only a little symbolically. After all, the merchant is just a disguise for them, and going to the Thunder Hell to save people is the real purpose.

It was three camels that pulled the cart, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the price of camels was several times that of war horses. And it's still priceless. These three camels were snatched by Ning Yue from a restaurant in Huangzhou. If it's a little late, all three camels will be served on a plate of dishes.

Camels are slow walkers, but they are the masters of the desert. Some people say that if you get lost in the desert, follow the camel. Because people get lost, but camels never do.

But now, Ning Yue can be absolutely sure that this sentence is a lie. They entered the desert the next day, and after ten days of trekking, they were finally lost in the endless desert. And the camels that Ning Yue could rely on turned out to be even more idiotic than them.

Because Ning Yue had forgotten that these three camels that were about to be served to the table had never left the fence from birth to adulthood, especially since they were domestic!

Ning Yue gently took the towel around her neck and wiped the sweat from her face roughly. Don't look away with a resentful face, and look at the ageless immortal sitting next to him napping. Before leaving, this old guy swore that he had come out of the Thunder Prison back then, and that he could find the way to the Thunder Prison with his eyes closed.

However, when he really closed his eyes and took a nap, he opened his eyes and asked Ning Yue what kind of place this was? Ning Yue had never set foot in the desert in his life, how did he know where it was? If he had known this, it would be better to ask Duan Hai to lead the way.

It's not scary to get lost, but it also depends on where you get lost. If you are lost in the desert, then congratulations, you are not far from death. And now, when Ning Yue was so anxious that she was sweating profusely, the immortal immortal was still in the mood to continue sleeping.

The climate is getting more and more gloomy, and even in late autumn, the daytime temperature in the desert is still so terrible. But what's even more terrifying is not the daytime, but the sudden cooling down after the sun goes down. Although Ning Yue and the three of them have no cold and heat, the camel can't stand it. Once the camel is frozen to death, it can only be Ning Yue who pulls the cart.

The sun was getting more and more westward, and Ning Yue suddenly pulled the reins again. Once again, the camel pulling the cart stopped. However, with the discovery of Ning Yue's tragedy, he returned to the original point. The mark he had made before was right in front of him, as if he was laughing at the futility of Ning Yue.

A kind of frustration called frustration flowed in Ning Yue's heart, and she let out a long sigh, slumping down and looking up at the blue sky.

"Husband, can't you still get out?" In the carriage, the voice of Twilight Snow sounded faintly.

"Twilight, don't worry, your husband will definitely be able to think of a way!" Ning Yue pretended to be relaxed and comforted, but in the bottom of her heart, she was getting more and more irritable. Although in his previous life, he remembered teaching the method of discerning the direction in the desert. But...... These memories were too long, and Ning Yue had already forgotten them cleanly.

Moreover, this time the loss has nothing to do with the direction, even if I keep walking towards the sun, I still return to the original point. It's like a time wheel that keeps rewinding.

Just when he was frowning, the immortal gods around him suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the sun going down with a shocked sound. Ning Yue was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly turned her head, "Master, your old man finally knows the road?"

"No, I want to say the sandstorm is coming!" replied the immortal god nonchalantly as he looked to the west.

"What?sandstorm?" Ning Yue's eyes widened, and when a breath of cold air came to her throat, she suddenly felt an urge to swallow, "It's over, we're done...... When the sandstorm comes, we have no way to escape. ”

"Escape, what is the escape? A little sandstorm is not enough to worry about!" said the immortal fairy leisurely with a look of full control, "If you are thirsty, take a jar of wine to quench the thirst of the teacher." ”

"You fell asleep because you drank Xifeng Lie, and now that we are all trapped here, do you still want to drink?There is water here, you still ......" Before the words were finished, Ning Yue shut up. Because at this moment, the immortal god is holding an altar of west wind in his hand.

"Drink, get drunk, wait for the sandstorm to blow you back to Kyushu. Ning Yue said with some unpleasant thoughts.

"Oh, apprentice, don't be so resentful, there is wine today and drunk today, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Even if we can't find the mine, we still have no problem going back to Kyushu, right? I remember that the minehead should be within a radius of 300 miles, and although it is not a mark, it should not be bad. ”

"Master, you can actually say a little bigger, I don't mind. Three hundred miles...... It's half of Jiangzhou! Forget it, what should we do now? The sandstorm is coming, should we find a place to hide?"

"Hide? It's all yellow sand in the sky here, and it's the same wherever you hide. Just stop here and wait for the sandstorm to pass before you go. The immortal seemed to be very experienced and stretched his waist and said casually.

Ning Yue has seen the stars in the night sky of Kyushu, which is very luxuriant. I have also seen the starry sky on the grassland, which is brighter and brighter than that of Kyushu in the Central Plains. However, compared with the starry sky on the grassland, it is much worse than the starry sky on the desert. At this moment, Ning Yue looked at the stars in the sky with Qian Duxue, and there were even many stars, which Ning Yue had never seen before.

This scene is very heartwarming and touching. But it seems to have deeply stimulated the immortal immortals. The immortal fairy sat silently, drinking wine and eating meat, without even raising his eyelids.

At first, Ning Yue was still a little reluctant in her heart, but after thinking about it, the master had been a single dog for a hundred years, and he shouldn't mind being sprinkled with dog food, so he didn't care. But this arrogant old man was humming and chirping on the side, as if he was very unhappy.

"Master, if you have anything in your heart, just say it, the disciple is not the roundworm in your stomach, how do you know what you are thinking?" Ning Yue turned back silently, and asked a little unbearably.

This turn of the year really scared Ning Yue a lot. The immortal immortal was also looking up at the sky, and two lines of tears slowly slipped down the corners of his eyes.

"Master, why are you crying?"

"No!" the immortal fairy pursed her lips arrogantly, and vigorously wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Say, if there is anything sad, say it to make the disciple happy......" Before he finished speaking, Ning Yue was kicked by the immortal immortal. However, this kick was very light, and even Ning Yue's body didn't shake a bit.

"Master, what's wrong?" asked Twilight Xue as she looked up from Ning Yue's arms and asked with curiosity on her face.

"It's okay, the teacher sounded a hundred years ago, at that time, the teacher was also in his prime, and Xiaocui was also a peerless flower. Xiaocui is the most beautiful girl in our village, even more beautiful than Twilight......"

"Tut-tut-

The old face of the immortal fairy turned red, "Anyway, Xiaocui is the most beautiful in the heart of the teacher." She likes me, and I like him too, but my family was poor back then, and Xiaocui's father also told me that if you want to marry Xiaocui, you must take ten taels of silver as a dowry, because the morning before, the matchmaker outside Wang Yuanwai also said ten taels of silver. That night......"

"You're a beast?"

"Roll the calf, that night, I and Xiaocui also snuggled up to the stars like you. At that time, I swore to Xiaocui that I would definitely marry her, I would. However, I am just a woodcutter, and I only know how to chop wood.

But it just so happened that there were wild wolves in the mountains at that time, and the yamen said that as long as a wild wolf was killed, he could go to the yamen to receive three taels of silver. Although many people are excited, those wild wolves are very cunning. When there are too many people, they don't come out, and they start when there are fewer people.

The next day, I took the firewood knife and went into the mountain, and I dared to do anything for Xiaocui. But even if I was alone, the wolves did not appear, and I wandered around the mountains alone until it was dark, and found nothing.

When he was about to go back, he accidentally broke his foot, rolled down the mountain and fainted. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I found a wolf's den not far from me. There, there is a she-wolf in labor, and it is already difficult to give birth.

I didn't think about anything at the time, I just thought about ten taels of silver. Taking advantage of the she-wolf's dysbirth, I killed the she-wolf with a knife in my hand. Then dragged the she-wolf corpse, limped out of the mountain, and ran to the county office overnight.

I waited all night, and the next day I received my reward. Because I killed a she-wolf and brought five wolf cubs with her, the county magistrate generously gave me ten taels of silver. I hurried back to the village with ten taels of silver in my hand, intending to propose to Uncle Li. But when I got to the village, I was dumbfounded.

The whole village, men, women and children, was bitten to death by wild wolves. In the past, wild wolves often came to steal livestock, but they never hurt anyone. But overnight, the whole village was gone. I killed them......"
