They walked in the Gobi. The sun has set in the west, the ground beneath your feet is hard, covered with gravel, and there is a steep stone wall on one side, and the landscape here is very different from before.

They set out from the cave in the early morning, found a shelter to rest before noon, avoided the strong sunlight, ate the snake meat left over from yesterday, and set off again in the afternoon, except that they had not found a water source, and had a relatively smooth day.

The wind was whistling, rolling up the sand and stones, and Ryan looked ahead, only to see what seemed to be a flat and vast low-lying land ahead, and he couldn't help but ask Sandman, "Where are we going, and how far is it?" ”

Shaman said, "It's almost here, come." She said as she walked forward.

Ryan followed Sand Man for a while, then stopped. Ryan saw the land in front of them stretch out flat and downward, so vast that they could not see the edge, as if they were standing on the edge of a large, flat slope.

Shaman said, "Did you hear that? ”

"What?"

"The sound of the waves."

Ryan looked forward blankly, and Shaman said, "Here, once it was the sea. ”

Ryan looked at the low-lying dry land, and couldn't imagine the tumbling waves that had once been on it, the wind whistling but only rolling up dust and gravel.

"Run?" Shaman said.

"What?"

"Run." Sand Man took the robe off his head, ripped Ryan's off as well, and took Ryan's hand and ran.

They ran down the slope that was gradually descending, and the faster they ran, the long hair of the sand man flew up, and he held Ryan's hand tightly, and let out a laugh, and the slope stretched into the distance, as if there was no end, and Ryan couldn't help laughing, and in the inertia of this fall, he felt a kind of joy that he had only been a child.

They ran for a long, long distance until their hearts hurt and Ryan had to stop and catch his breath. He held his knees and said with a smile: "You can really run." ”

Shaman smiled, "I used to play this when I was a kid. ”

Ryan looked at her long reddish-brown hair and toned legs, and thought she was simply an animal.

Ryan looked at the shore that was already far away, "So how do we go back?" ”

"Run back." Shaman said and ran back again.

How cool it is to run down, how painful it is to run up, Ryan secretly scolded himself, why did he run down with her like such a fool.

When Ryan finally crawled to the shore and fell to the ground, panting like a cow and smoking in his throat, he said to the sandman, "You forget, we haven't found water yet...... What are you doing running like crazy. ”

Sand Man didn't look worried, she dragged Ryan up and pulled him towards the towering stone wall on the shore, "Follow me." ”

Ryan didn't quite know what it meant to a wild man to hold the hand of the opposite sex, and his heart always skipped a beat because of it, but she seemed natural and unremarkable, maybe she just thought of him as a person with limited mobility.

The stone wall is covered with rocks, and the sand man moves dexterously, and his steps are light, and when he encounters a large gap, he jumps over first, and then stretches out his hand to pull Lane over.

The two finally came to the stone wall, Ryan looked up, only to see the huge stone wall straight up and down, hundreds of meters high, the sand man walked along the stone wall, as if looking for something, and soon, she found a thick rattan ladder.

Ryan was very surprised, how could there be a rattan ladder here, it was clearly woven by people, and Shaman smiled at him, and his expression was like a child saying: Look at me taking you to a fun place.

Shaman pulled the rope ladder and climbed up, "Ryan, come!" ”

Ryan had no choice but to climb up as well.

Ryan looked up and saw the legs under Shaman's skirt, and quickly lowered his head again.

The rope ladder was made of withered plant rhizomes, and it was very dry and rough, and it made a brushing sound when stepped on, and Ryan didn't know how much weight the thing could bear, and he hesitated under his feet.

"Ryan, hurry up!"

Seeing that the sand man had already climbed up very high, Ryan had no choice but to climb up. The wind blew from the dry sea, making a whirring sound, and Ryan felt that the higher he went, the stronger the wind, and the rope ladder swung with their movements, and Ryan felt like a fallen leaf hanging from a dead vine, ready to fall at any moment.

"Ryan, hurry up!" The sand man had reached her destination, a hole in the cliff, and she was poking her head out of the stone cave above.

Ryan felt that the harder he climbed the rope ladder, the more swinging he felt, and when he looked down, he felt that the sky was spinning, Ryan hugged the rope ladder, closed his eyes, and his legs were weak, "Sand, sand!" ”

A rope hung down from above, "Hold on, I'll pull you up!" ”

As Ryan climbed the cave, the sun was sinking along the parched sea level.

Caien got up and looked at the stone cave in front of him in amazement, it was unexpectedly large, like a hall, the whole body was made of beige rocks, its inner walls were very smooth, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, it emitted a warm light.

Sand Man stood in the cave, looking back at him.

Ryan said, "What is this place?" “

Sandman took Ryan's hand and walked deeper into the cavern, passing through stone dwellings until they finally came to a stone wall. C

The sand man hated the stick and lit the flames, and Ryan saw that there were clumsy drawings on the stone wall, and the brushstrokes were slightly sunken in the stone face

It seems to be engraved.
