>> this "sand" is not the other "sha"&1t;&1t;

Sha Qingchen smiled slightly: "Lin Gongzi is really straightforward when he speaks, the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River are good, the water is good, but it's a pity that the sand and dust are in the next name, it can be seen that the dark is destined to have a fate with this place." 【Fengyun Reading Network.】Kirin"

Lin Jianlan listened to his words, he had no nostalgia for the prosperous scenery of the Central Plains, and he didn't care about the hardships in the northwest, so he couldn't help but feel good about him, and he also smiled, raised his eyes, and arrived at the city gate, turned around and arched his hand: "I'm going to say goodbye." ”

Sha Qingchen also clenched his fists and returned the salute briefly: "Take care." ”

The flat sand is reckless, and everything is gone.

When you go out of the city, you can still see the hoof prints of camels and the few traces of pedestrians, but the farther you go, the more you can see nothing, only the yellow sand and the blue sky, only the soft sound of camels stepping on the sand and the annoying camel bells. What are a thousand words, but Sha Qingchen's sentence "take care" is the most in line with Lin Jianlan's state of mind at the moment, in this vast desert, personal strength is so small, life and death are completely up to oneself, and the implicit meaning behind this "take care" is just asking for more blessings.

Lin Jianlan licked his dry lips, some sand and dust rolled up in his mouth, and he felt more and more thirsty. When he had just walked out of the city for about an hour, he once felt out a water bag and was about to drink it, but he was stopped by the two old men, who told him with a serious face that he could not exchange a bag of water for a bag of water, so he had to put the water bag down again. At this moment, when I turned my head to see the vicissitudes of the two old men's faces, although they were full of wrinkles, their expressions were calm and calm, as if they had never felt tired or thirsty, and the admiration in their hearts arose.

Except for the change in the direction of the scorching sun on his head, there was nothing to judge the passage of time, when the sun was in the sky, the two guides discussed with each other, and finally stopped to rest for a while, ate some dry food, and the three of them drank about half a bag of water, but half of it was Lin Jianlan who drank it, seeing these two old men saving like this, Lin Jianlan couldn't help but be a little reluctant not to go, but they didn't mind and smiled: " Anyone who brings the first time to the desert is not accustomed to this kind of thirst, dryness and heat, at the beginning is like this, if you don't control the point, I'm afraid that before you reach the halfway point, the water will be gone. ”

Lin Jianlan said: "I don't understand a lot of things, and the two old men still need more guidance." Speaking of which, I have been walking with you for a long time, and I have to ask for advice on everything, but I haven't asked you two what to call them, which is really rude. ”

One of the guides smiled heartily and said, "Since it is the person introduced by Sha Gongzi, you don't have to be so polite, my name is Ayimu, and his name is Aiman." ”

Lin Jianlan was puzzled: "This name ......"

Ayimu said with a smile: "Neither of us is Han, but we have been dealing with business travelers all over the year round, and we can say something. ”

Lin Jianlan said secretly: "I have the Tang Dynasty and the country is open, and there are many people from other ethnic groups who come to do business and study, but I haven't had any dealings, but I didn't expect the name gap of a single person to be so big." ”

The three of them started to set off again, the unchanged scenery made people have an illusion, as if they had never moved forward, and Lin Jianlan finally slowly felt this kind of loneliness and boredom that made people crazy, so he had to sit on the hunchback and slowly think about the previous things one by one, and even unconsciously survived until the moon. The two guides discussed with each other for a while, and then watched the direction of the sky and the wind before saying, "Let's stay here." ”

Several people got off the camel, Lin Jianlan watched them gather the camels together, and they were busy for a long time, but they couldn't intervene at all, so they had to sit on the ground with their hands up, this camel was not comfortable to ride, he rode back and forth on fast horses every day, and he didn't feel how tired he was upside down by this camel, but he felt very uncomfortable, and his hip bone seemed to be about to come off. The camel bell that had been ringing for a day finally stopped, but it still seemed to be echoing in my ears.

As the moon grew higher and higher, the heat in the desert air seemed to disappear quickly, and there was a slight coolness when Lin Jianlan put his hand into the sand, and he could feel the heat that had not yet been lost in it. Seeing him acting like this, Aiman nodded and said, "Young Master Lin, we'll sleep like this later." ”

Lin Jianlan didn't know what he meant, but he saw Ayimu sit down and hum gently, his voice slowly increased, the tune was completely different from the Central Plains, and he had a unique style, singing to the high voice, rough and heroic, but lingering and tactful when he sang to the low voice.

Lin Jianlan couldn't understand the lyrics at all, what they were singing, but watching one of them singing, the other couldn't help but revel in it, and gently clapped his hands in response. After singing a song, Lin Jianlan couldn't help clapping his hands and said: "It's really a different flavor when singing, but I don't know what it means." ”

Aiman looked at the night sky and sang again in Chinese, but this time he understood: "If she is willing to wink at me, I can't make out the direction in a daze, and if she is willing to smile, I feel like I have seen Rugoborr in thirst." The poplars in the desert can still live without water. Beautiful girl, how am I doing without you?" Although it is not as natural as it was just now, it is still simple and beautiful.

Ayimu laughed and said: "This is a song handed down by our ancestors, in fact, it is the love song of your Han people." Our two old men are going to make Lin Gongzi laugh when they sing!"

Lin Jianlan said with a smile: "The etiquette of the Han people is not as restrained as you are free and easy, and you can still act recklessly at such an age. He remembered something again and wondered: "Ask the two of you a question, I heard the master of the sand hall say that being a guide is a round trip, and if you run into a big caravan walking, I am afraid that it will be enough for the two of you to live extremely rich." The desert is so dangerous, why do you keep being a guide and taking risks?"

Ayimu said: "We have an ancient saying: enjoy wealth and wealth, gold and silver will take root only when you have long legs and two hands, and happiness will take root." Don't hide it from Lin Gongzi, we can be regarded as rich people in our hometown, and we have built a very good house, and we have built a beautiful yard and wall in imitation of your Han people's house, but we don't support idlers at home, and Aiman's wife and children and I have to work every day. ”

Lin Jianlan said secretly: "They were born and died, they got rich but they didn't forget their roots, and they didn't make some money like many Central Plains people, so they thought about eating, drinking, and enjoying all day long. ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and as the night deepened, it was a little cold, and Aiman dug a pit with his hands: "Lin Gongzi lie in." Lin Jianlan didn't know, so he followed his instructions, lay in for a while, and then was buried, only his head was exposed outside, and there was still residual heat in the sand, so he understood the meaning of his words just now.
