Apdu stamped the national seal on the customs clearance documents, and because he was the same age as Song Che, the two of them were combined, and they simply worshipped as brothers of the opposite sex.

Then, after a day of rest in Gaochang, Song Che continued to move west.

With the continuous deepening of the Western Regions, the green grass and green water turned yellow again, walking through the desolate Gobi and entering the cruel flowing desert.

This time, Song Che decided to do it in one step, first go to the "Wusu Country", which has the largest population and the strongest strength in the Western Regions, if he can stamp the seal of the Wusu Country on the paper, when he returns along the way, the rest of the small countries will definitely follow suit.

Wusu is located at the end of southern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from Gaochang, and at the speed of a caravan, it will take at least twenty days.

For the next 20 days, I could only be accompanied by the desert Gobi.

"Brother-in-law, I'm tired."

Liu Xiang'er lazily lay on the hump, then changed her words, raised her head and said with a smile:

"However, I don't regret being able to take the adventure with my brother-in-law at all."

Other Song Che is not sure, after this trip, this Nizi will definitely become more mature.

People always have to go through a difficult journey before they completely fade away from immaturity and become mature.

"By the way, since you have come to this mobile desert, I will test your geographical knowledge - if you are lost in the boundless sea of sand, how can you find your way?" Song Che asked Liu Xiang'er and the female swordsmen.

Liu Xiang'er replied: "Isn't there Sinan?" Take it out and discern the direction. ”

Song Che shook his head, "The magnetic field in the desert is weird, and Sinan is sometimes not accurate. ”

Nangong Yue said: "Immediately. Stick the hilt of your sword into the ground and look at the shadows to see the direction. ”

Lu Jingxiang added: "Why is it so complicated, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and you can discern the direction by observing where it rises and sets." ”

Song Che said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, it is inaccurate to use the sun to rise and fall, due to the existence of the red and yellow angles, the direct point of the sun will go back and forth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, and the earth we live in is divided into north and south, in the northern hemisphere, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the sun rises and sets in the west in the southern hemisphere, so there is a certain irrationality in the sentence 'the sun hits the west and comes out'......"

"Boss, you're saying things that people don't understand again, and besides, isn't the place where we live 'the sky is round'? How would you compare it to a ball? ”

"That is, if it is a ball, it should be an arc, you see the ground line is so flat, according to what you say, what kind of southern hemisphere person, isn't he standing upside down? It's shocking! ”

Of course, they don't understand what gravity is.

"Well, that's a bit tricky to explain, but in short, I'll teach you a way to accurately discern the direction when you're lost,"

Song Che pointed to the sky and said:

"That's looking at the stars in the sky at night. Everyone should know the 'Big Dipper', right? A star vein connected into a spoon, not far from the Big Dipper, there is one of the brightest called 'North Star', also commonly known as 'Purple Microstar'. ”

"I know, I know," Liu Xiang'er raised her hand to speak, "Some old gods often say that if the purple microstar is dim, it means that the emperor is going to die, and it is called 'the fall of the purple microstar'." ”

"The words of the old god stick are not credible," Song Che said with a smile: "The other stars are changing and the stars are moving, only the North Star is eternal, find it in the night sky, the direction pointed by the arm is the north, open your thumb vertically, and the direction of the thumb is the west, just like me." ”

He used his hands to demonstrate with the women, and then said: "With our current location, if we go north, we can see the Tianshan Mountains, and to the west, we can find the Tarim River. ”

All the women painted the scoop and followed suit.

Then

The camel under the crotch suddenly became restless!

They raise their heads and howl into the distance.

Song Che noticed something unusual, and quickly took out the telescope to investigate, and saw that outside the horizon, a turbid "wave" was rolling in, it was like a giant curtain covering the sky, blinding the distant heaven and earth.

This is......

Dust storm!

The camels were screaming more and more frantically.

"Retreat! It's a sandstorm! ”

Song Che found a direction and spurred the camel to run quickly, and the others followed closely.

This thoroughly weathered mobile desert has barely any shelter to be seen, except for one dune after another.

"Huhuhu......"

The sand and dust in the sky were like a giant beast, and they soon caught up with the pace of the team.

"Cover your mouth and nose with a scarf, keep an eye on the people around you, and don't lose it!" Song Che shouted at the top of his voice, but compared to the roar of the wind, his voice was really insignificant.

Soon, even the line of sight was disturbed, and the sand and dust ruthlessly divided the team, engulfing everyone.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! ”

"Xiang'er! Xiang'er, follow your sisters! ”

Song Che tried hard to find it, but the sound of the wind disturbed his judgment, and the sandstorm blew so that he couldn't open his eyes, and the whole world swirled.

The camel under the crotch no longer runs, it is half-kneeling in the sand, Song Che leans his back against the hump, covers his mouth and nose, and shouts:

"All those who are close to each other, use the body of a camel to block the wind and sand, be careful to be buried!"

"Huhuhu......"

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the piles of sand soon covered Song Che's feet, and he curled up behind his hump, and now he could only pray for the dust storm to pass quickly.

I don't know how long it took, most of Song Che was not even buried, and the wind was significantly reduced.

I don't know how long it took, the dust storm stopped abruptly, a ray of light opened the sky, Song Che removed the sand on his head, slowly opened his eyes, the scorching sun was in the sky, the wind was calm, except for himself who was almost buried alive, everything seemed to have happened.

Song Che hurriedly got up, shook off the sand grains on his body, led the camel to look for it with a telescope, and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Xiang'er! Yue'er! Kyoka! Wan Zhou...... You heard the answer! ”

"The owner...... I...... We're here! ”

An answer was heard from under the dunes.

Lu Jingxiang, Wan Zhou, Aoi Si and the other six female dependents, they were quite clever and used camels to form a circle to resist the dust storm.

"What about the others?" Song Che hurriedly chased down and asked.

Lu Jingxiang spat out a few mouthfuls of sand and shook his head: "It was so chaotic at that time, we stopped spontaneously when we were nearby, and the others didn't know where to go......"

"Let's find out!"

In pairs, diverge and look around.

"Xiang'er, Xiang'er......"

"Sister Yue, where are you!"

After half an hour, the search for the other party's five miles was found, and eleven more people were recovered, but Liu Xiang'er, Nangong Yue and Ziyun were still missing.

Although this sandstorm came suddenly and went quickly, so many people were not buried, and the three of them would definitely not be either, but where could they go?

Song Che was anxious.

Nangong Yue and Ziyun both have good martial arts, even if they are alone, they are not afraid, but Liu Xiang'er, a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, in case she ......

"Boss, don't be in a hurry, when the sandstorm first came, Sister Yue and Ziyun have been protecting Xiang'er, and they will be fine." Lu Jingxiang comforted.
