"Crying?" Sandman's eyes glowed in the darkness, staring at Ryan's face.

"Not really." Ryan turned his face away.

"Ha, I've seen it all."

"That's water dripping from above!"

Sha Man smiled, "Who do you say is heavy?" ”

“……”

"Who do you say is stupid?"

Ryan smiled, "What do you say, who else?" ”

Sand Man pounced on Ryan and grabbed Ryan's neck.

"Hey, you've just recovered and you're so alive!"

Ryan slipped on his feet, unsteady on his feet, and both of them fell to the ground.

Shaman fell on Ryan's body, Ryan grinned in pain, Sand Man's expression changed, and he just wanted to ask, but saw Ryan looking at her and laughing.

Ryan didn't wear a mask, this face looked strange and familiar, Sha Man couldn't help but be stunned, Ryan suddenly wrapped his hands around Sha Man, "Don't go." Sand Man struggled, and the two writhed on the ground, finally tired, but in the end, Sand Man could not break free of Ryan's arm.

"Hey, why do you have so much strength?"

"That's how it is."

"You'll have a lot of strength."

“......”

"You don't have to wear a face mask here?"

Ryan took a deep breath and looked at the sandman, "Well, it feels great. ”

"Got something?"

"Hmm." Ryan nodded, looked at Sha Man and smiled, but Sha Man didn't ask much, what was it.

"When will you let me go?"

The corners of Ryan's mouth crooked, "It depends on my mood." ”

Shaman simply gave up struggling, leaned his head on Ryan's chest, and said, "I didn't expect that the palace of the water god is such a good place. ”

Ryan came up as soon as he heard the anger, "Hey, I said you, obviously you can't swim, why do you come down, don't you want to die, what do you think?" ”

Shaman listened to Ryan's heartbeat and said slowly: "I'm different from you, I always think about this and that, I don't think about anything. ”

***

By the time Ryan and Sand Man set foot in the desert, the sun had already begun to set.

"I said, you're so good, you can find your way home anywhere." Ryan said. He was almost curious about the mental structure of wild people, who seemed to carry their own navigation and positioning systems.

"It's not difficult, through the wind, the breath in the air."

Ryan said sullenly, "All I can smell is rubber right now." ”

"Although it is dangerous to cross the desert at night, we can't afford to delay, your breathing mask is almost out of use," Shaman said. ”

Sha Man was right, in the iron box attached to the rubber mask, there was not much oxygen continuance left, and it had not been replenished in the past few days, and Ryan had become more and more difficult to breathe.

But Ryan was in a good mood, maybe he had just come into contact with enough oxygen, maybe he had drunk extremely good water, he faced the desert, and he picked up the sand man, sat on his shoulder, and said, "Okay, then go quickly!" ”

"Put me down!" Shaman said with a smile.

Ryan strode with long legs, "Isn't this much faster, like a father chasing the sun." ”

"What Kuafu?"

"The old prehistoric legend is about you Orientals, a giant chasing the sun, doesn't it look like, huh?" Ryan pointed to the shadow on the ground, his huge self carrying the petite sand man, and the orange sun in the distance was slowly falling.

Shaman sat on Ryan's shoulder, his long hair dancing in the wind, and said, "See how long you can hold on." ”

Sure enough, after not taking a few steps, Ryan was out of breath, holding the rubber mask and breathing heavily, Shaman jumped down and said, "Talk less, walk faster." ”

After a while, Ryan said, "Sandman." ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, it would be nice if we could stay in that underground river all the time......

"I'll tell my father, it's a big discovery."

"No, I mean ......"

"Talk less."

The desert was quiet, in the afterglow of the sun, it looked warm and soft, the breeze was blowing, drying the clothes on the two of them, and the sand particles on the soles of their feet were gently swimming, stepping on them, and there was still residual warmth.

"Sand Man."

"What."

"Do you want to hear the story?"

Shaman turned his head: "What story will you tell?" ”

So, Ryan began to talk about "Peter Pan".

After talking for a while, Ryan said, "Well, is it the same as my father's story?" ”

Sha Man smiled: "I don't remember." ”

Ryan said, "What exactly can you remember?" ”

“…… Have you memorized the whole book? ”

Ryan blinked, "Of course, I can remember all the books I have read, and besides, the memory of the human brain is much more than that......"

“……”

Ryan laughed: "Shaman, Shaman, I really don't know, should I say that you are smart or stupid." ”

Shaman's eyes slanted, "Then let me ask you, do you remember, the way home?" ”

“……”

"Shaman, you said that if the two of us merge, will we be invincible?"

"You don't dream anymore."

The two moved on.

"Sand Man."

"What are you doing?"

"Can you show me, your whistle."

Shaman thought for a moment, took off the whistle around his neck, and handed it to Ryan, "Don't break it." ”

Ryan took it in his hand, and saw that it was a gray-white round tube-shaped thing, because of the perennial friction, it had been wrapped in a layer of pulp, and it looked as smooth as jade.

"It's made of bone?"

"Well, this is what my grandfather left me."

"Your grandfather?"

"Well, my grandfather was the best hunter in the clan back then, and this piece comes from the monitor lizard neck bone he hunted, and since then, we have never had a better bone whistle, loud, long, with a unique timbre, and seeing a whistle is like seeing a person."

"That's amazing." Ryan looked at the ancient and delicate object again, and handed it back to the sandman, "Blow and see." ”

The sand vines blew up, and a loud whistle drifted over the desert, drifting into the distance along with the fine sand blown by the breeze.

The sun slowly faded away, the temperature dropped, and the wind grew stronger, blowing their clothes and making a harsh sound.

"Is it cold?" Ryan asked.

"It's fine." The sand man wrapped his robe tightly.

Ryan lifted his cloak and put it over Sand Man's body, pulling her to his side, and Sand Man struggled, "Don't get me wrong," Ryan said, "just to keep warm." ”

The two walked side by side, he felt her body temperature, and he suddenly felt very satisfied, as if nothing mattered, and it was good to walk like this, to protect it like this.

This desert should never be finished, even if it is dark, the wind blows, whether they get lost, or the sand buries them, and they go on and on, and so on forever.

Suddenly, Ryan saw a mist of sand rising in the distance ahead, like a sandstorm.

"What's that, Gale?" Ryan shielded the sand with his cloak.

Shaman's eyes shimmered and he muttered, "No, it's not. ”

The dust was moving at a great speed, and in an instant it was near, and Ryan saw that it was a group of men, each riding on a huge four-legged animal, which was running flat through the desert.

Ryan held the sand man behind him, and saw the group come menacingly, standing on the back of the beast, holding the reins in their hands, the giant beast was like a lizard, but much larger, with its mouth wide open.

The first big man shouted from afar: "Shaman! What are you doing with this Ark Man? ”

It's Wu Wei.
