There is nothing more miserable and desolate in this world than wandering in the desert.

If there is, it is a single wanderer in the desert.

This is Lin Xiangdi's most intuitive and desperate feeling from coming out of Meng Xiang's house to three days later.

For three whole days, not a single person was seen, not even a bird flew in the sky. Some of the living creatures are just scorpions crawling quickly, and there are rattlesnakes that rattle.

When he escaped from Meng Xiang's house, he only fled for his life in a hurry, and after escaping from Yiyi City, he immediately lost his direction in the dark. He was like a lost boat adrift on the mighty Pacific Ocean, lonely.

He relied on the methods he learned from video websites and Du Niang to find water in the desert, and he was able to dig out all the rhizomes of the saxon grass, and there was a large area of yellow sand underneath. When he was hungry, he also tried to eat a few bites of the roots of the saxon grass, and the bitterness was like life.

He remembered how to make his own water, but he couldn't drink his own urine.

He has been lost in this desert three times, the first time with Yu Yao, the second time with Xuanzang, but this time, he was alone, like a lonely hero, facing this vast loneliness.

At this moment, this lonely hero, desperately short of water and food, like a wolf who has been hungry for many days, curled up under the sand dunes, drowsy.

He thought that the sense of impending death was extreme fear, but at this moment, he was thinking of his childhood home and Yu Yao. It was a different kind of warmth, a colorful feeling, he remembered the cartoons he watched in his childhood, the deflated football he played, the cold soda he drank, he thought of Yu Yao, that smiling sweet face, giving him warmth before he died.

This is the largest desert in the northwest, and there are many uninhabited areas even in modern society. In ancient times, it was probably even less popular here.

Looks like he's going to have to wait here to die, he thought.

The sunset reflected half of the sky.

He narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. A cloud of smoke rose from the sky.

Lin Xiangdi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "I'll go, isn't it good to let me die in the falling sun?" Why do you want to come to a sandstorm? ”

The bright silver smoke on the horizon billowed in, getting closer and closer.

The last scene Lin Xiangdi saw in front of his eyes was that the sand and dust came to an abrupt end a hundred meters away.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Lin Xiangdi felt that something cool and cool dripped between his eyebrows, making his hot body twitch again and again. He thought, "Am I dead?" To heaven? Still is?

He unconsciously wanted to get close to the cold thing, and in his subconscious, he felt that it was water, a sweet spring. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth wide as he tried to get the spring water into his mouth.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The cold stuff burrowed into his throat at once, and his smoky throat was silenced for a moment. Then he kept squirming his mouth, wanting more water to moisten his throat.

Suddenly, there was a giggling sound in my ears, far and near, hazy and clear. The laughter seemed to be from Yu Yao, from the same table in elementary school, and from the little cousin. He couldn't tell where the voice was coming from, the person, he didn't know anything.

The crisp laughter stopped, and a female voice said in surprise, "Wake up, you're awake." ”

Who is it? Lin Xiangdi wanted to ask. But he could only open his mouth empty, and he couldn't make a sound.

The female voice seemed to be close to his face, and he could feel a faint smell of osmanthus flowers. The female voice spoke again: "Are you awake?" You've been asleep for days. ”

Lin Xiangdi tried hard to open his eyes, but he didn't know why, his eyes couldn't be opened, and he could only try to open a gap between the upper and lower eyelids.

He could see a house, an earthen house. Immediately after, a young girl's face appeared in the gap, and gradually became clearer. It was a bloodshot face peculiar to a desert girl, with a pair of large eyes, a slightly collapsed nose, a lot of freckles around the wings of the nose, and a mouth half-open as if it was making a surprised expression. She was leaning in front of herself and looking at herself.

Lin Xiangdi asked dryly, "Who are you?" In fact, what he wanted to ask was that if the angels all looked like this, it would be good to live well, and people might not look forward to heaven for a long time.

The girl laughed before she could say anything, and after giggling for a while, she said a little shyly, "My name is Tiedan." ”

Iron...... Egg......

Lin Xiangdi hopes that this is a nightmare, and he hopes that this nightmare will end soon.

What kind of person would name himself Iron Egg? Is this a blacksmith's house? Is this the home of a cross talk artist? Is this the home of some abnormal human being who can't understand it?

Lin Xiangdi wanted to laugh, but his throat was so dry that he was about to breathe fire, so he said in a dumb voice, "Water, give me some water." ”

This girl named Tie Dan got up quickly, brought a big bowl of water from somewhere, and then gently helped Lin Xiangdi up, and when Lin Xiangdi was ready, she brought the bowl to him and let him drink the water in one gulp.

Water is the source of life.

After drinking a large bowl of water, Lin Xiangdi felt that the soul had finally returned to the body. But he's still spinning the world.

Iron Egg laid him down, and then continued to sit next to him. Although Lin Xiangdi didn't open his eyes, he could hear the sound of Tie Dan's breathing, although the breathing was very low and very slow.

After I don't know how long I slept again, Lin Xiangdi was woken up by a loud crash. He woke up from his slumber and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong?" ”

A rough old man's voice asked, "He's not dead yet?" ”

Then came the sound of the iron egg. The sparrow said, "No, it's alive and well." I sat up in the morning and drank a large bowl of water. ”

The old man asked again: "Have you been guarding him like this for the past few days?" ”

Tie Dan still giggled, and then replied, "Well, no? ”

The old man didn't answer again.

Lin Xiangdi opened his eyes slightly, and saw a face full of beards from the gap, tall and burly, carrying a bright big knife, standing beside Tie Dan.

Tie Dan said, "How was your harvest?"

The big man said, "No, no one around the fight dares to come." I think if this continues, we will have to go. ”

Tie Dan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter where you go, take him with you." ”

The big man leaned over to Lin Xiangdi's face and watched. A strong smell of sweat hit the door. Lin Xiangdi frowned.

The big man asked, "I don't understand, why do you like a little white face?" ”

Tie Dan said back: "I want you to care, it's annoying!" ”

The big man didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he said, "Whatever you want." This little white face has given you away. ”

Lin Xiangdi had 10,000 animals galloping past in his heart and giving me away? Why? Big brother, who are you? Wait, little whiteface? I'm not a little white face, okay?

Probably because Lin Xiangdi's heart was too active, causing him to have a micro-expression, he saw through the slender eye slit that Tie Dan's face was still that somewhat ugly face, but there was a big smile on that face, she said: "Don't be afraid, he is a good person." He's the one who picked you up from the sand nest. ”

When I woke up and slept in a groggy state, I could always see the face of the iron egg. There was still a big smile on his face, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth on both sides were grinning to the root of his ears. Lin Xiangdi always wanted to turn her head aside whenever she saw her, but this girl named Tie Dan would always put her face in front of him.

In the middle of the way, the big man came in a few more times, and he spoke in a thick voice, although he hadn't figured out what his relationship with Tie Dan was, but from the conversation between the two, it could be heard that he loved Tie Dan very much.

There has been a noisy sound outside, and after listening to it for a long time, I realized that the noise outside was drinking and punching. The sound of cups and plates clashing, the sound of staggering, the noise of giggling, and the sound of shouting and wrestling. One after another.

Lin Xiangdi guessed that this could be a village, or a tribe, in which there were big men like big men, maybe they were hunting, or guarding the frontier?

It was all speculation, Lin Xiangdi waited for his body to return to normal and left here immediately, although the big man saved him, he asserted that this place was not for him.

At this moment, there was another shouting outside the window, it sounded like someone was betting something, and the people around were heckling. He was woken up by the cacophony of voices, and his brow furrowed involuntarily, showing impatience. Within fifteen seconds, he heard the door being opened, and Tie Dan yelled outside in a thick voice: "What are you arguing about? Didn't you see a patient inside? Get out of here, away from this window, as far as you want. ”

Lin Xiangdi sat up from the bed suddenly. He didn't expect that Tie Dan would be so strong, but it echoed her name. He didn't dare to move, listening to the movement outside the window.

A voice whispered: "Just go, why are you so fierce?" ”

Tie Dan roared again: "Don't hurry up yet! Bet on bet! Just know how to bet! ”

Boom.

The door was slammed slam shut. When she turned around, she saw Lin Xiangdi sitting up from the bed, hurriedly ran over, returned to her normal soft voice and asked, "You were woken up?" ”

Lin Xiangdi was suddenly a little afraid of her. I'm afraid that the iron egg will yell at him. He nodded slightly.

Tie Dan walked to the table and brought a bowl of water, took extremely awkward steps, and walked over to Lin Xiangdi with a twist. She handed the water to Lin Xiangdi and said, "You can drink some water." Then, with a flush of face and a twist of his body, he opened the door and ran out.

Lin Xiangdi didn't drink water, but slowly walked off the bed. The shoes are gone. He stepped barefoot on the ground and slowly moved towards the door.

Although my feet are still a little soft, the dizziness has improved a lot. This means he can resign. It's just that I don't know if this Tie Dan classmate can let him go smoothly.

But when he stood in the doorway and looked out, he was stunned.

Unable to accept the sight for a while, he almost fainted to the ground, but fortunately he held on to the door frame.

He cried out without tears, "What the hell is this place! ”
