Raising the coffin to make a fortune [travel]

The wind and sand are long, and the camel bells jingle.

A group of people wandered around the oasis in the desert for about an hour. Except for some drought-resistant desert plants and a few camel and horse bones, they got nothing at all.

Seeing that a small piece of skin exposed under Jin Wenling's tightly wrapped cheeks was already reddened by the wind, Wan Baylor felt very distressed and planned to call Jin to withdraw.

"Little brother, let's go back, it's getting dark now."

"Hey, isn't that right? A helicopter will be sent over early in the morning to participate in the search and rescue. We can't do anything in the sea of ​​death with just a few of us and a few camels."

The Sea of ​​Death is a nickname given to this desert by the local aborigines in the oasis, which reveals the local people's respect and fear for the desert.

The rescue team member was overjoyed when he heard that he was able to go home. Wan Baylor promised him a lot of hard work. I also got a month's extra salary, and I made money inside and out.

"Oh lol..."

The rescue team yelled at the camels skillfully, intending to take them back to the station, but suddenly felt the camel staggered under them, and in a blink of an eye, it was lying on the ground.

"Okay, it's quicksand!"

The little team member screamed in horror, he was quite experienced, although he was flustered, he didn't lose his sense of control, and shouted loudly to Qian Baylor who was about to rush over: "Don't come over!"

In less than a minute, the huge body of the camel has basically sunk into the quicksand. This poor beast knows the horror of the sea of ​​death better than humans. In the last few seconds During the day, its big eyes were filled with tears, and it screamed a few times with its neck stuck, and even resigned itself to burying its head in the quicksand. After struggling a few times, it was swallowed up completely.

The rescue team turned pale with fright. The camel was much taller than itself. If it thought it could escape based on its experience, it would not have chosen to commit suicide so resignedly to end its life early. This shows that the sand cave is not deep enough. Bottom line, even the desert boat has given up struggling, let alone a mere human being.

"How can we help you!?"

Wan Baylor shouted loudly from a distance, and Jin Wenling stood behind him, holding his arms tightly, with a stern and indifferent expression.It's not that he has no compassion, it's just that if he had to choose, he would of course stand on Qianbaile's side without reservation.

"It's useless...it's useless..."

The young face of the rescue team was full of despair. He helplessly raised his arms and waved them aimlessly. His vision was obscured by the wind and sand, and he couldn't see the distant scenery clearly. He was panting desperately. Wanting to store up enough oxygen before sinking into the sea of ​​sand, before I had time to think, my whole body was swallowed up by quicksand...

"Hey you……"

Wan Baylor yelled, seeing that the man had disappeared into the quicksand, the desert wind healed the wound that had swallowed his life, and in a blink of an eye the peace and tranquility returned to the surface of the earth. Who would have thought that a young life was buried here just now.

Wan Baylor broke free from Jin Wenling's hand, and knelt down on the ground, one of his hands stretched into the sand, holding his breath, searching for signs of life.

Quicksand is weathered rock, and he will try to see if his power can control them and return them to his companions.

"...!"

Wan Baylor felt something, jumped up from the ground, and looked at Jin Wenling blankly.

"what happened?"

Seeing his expression, Jin Wenling knew that the situation was serious. When he bent down and touched the ground just now, he had already guessed his intention. If he could order quicksand, within a few minutes of golden time, that team member's life would be killed. There is still salvation, but the expression on his face now has elements of horror in it. What can surprise the future Lord of Purgatory.

"I want to try..."

Wan Baylor stood up straight and looked at him with a stern expression.

"My fairy bone is almost grown now, and the induction can spread to a very deep place... Below the surface, there are indeed signs of life."

"Can you get him out?"

Jin Wenling saw a little hope and asked tentatively.

"It's not him...it's them..."

Wan Belle stared warily at the calm surface of the sand, as if something was about to burst out of the ground.

"Below the surface, countless lives are buried."

"Then...maybe it was a caravan from many years ago, or the wreckage left by the war?"

"No, no..."

Wan Belle stared at the grains of sand under his feet, and said with doubts.

"Those life forms, they are still alive..."

"Alive?"

Jin Wenling took a step back subconsciously, staring at the surface with a vigilant expression. How could this be possible, there are countless living people buried beneath the surface?

Are they the ancient people living underground in the legend, or are they innocent souls swallowed by the merciless quicksand?

"Then now..."

Jin Wenling wanted to speak to persuade him to leave here, but suddenly he heard a very dull sound from the far end of the sky.

"Oops, it's a sandstorm!"

When wandering around in the desert just now, the rescue team once told them that if they encounter quicksand, it is likely that the fragile surface of the desert area has been affected by some kind of weather change, resulting in cracks. After the quicksand phenomenon occurs, generally It will be accompanied by a powerful desert storm.Who knew that his mouth was wide open, and once he said something right, he also lost his own life.

Wan Baylor's camel was in a trough at this moment, it couldn't be dragged back at all, Jin Wenling's mount also fell to the ground resignedly, with tears in his eyes, he buried his head in the sand, seeing only Waiting for death.

"Wen Ling, come to me!"

Wan Baylor stretched out his arms in the strong wind, and shouted loudly to Jin Wenling who was a few steps away. At this time, the strong wind was already sweeping in with the dust all over the sky, and it was about to smooth the gap between the sky and the earth in a blink of an eye. The whole world is devoured.

Jin Wenling's legs had been sunk in the sand, and it was difficult to move. The camel beside him had been covered by the wind and sand, leaving only two tall humps. He threw himself into Wan Baylor's arms.

He felt that he was firmly caught, the wind and sand blinded his eyes, and he couldn't open them, but he knew that he was safe, so he hugged his waist tightly, and in a flash, all the sandstorms and noises disappeared. , the surrounding area is ethereal.

"Wen Ling."

Wan Baylor's voice came from the darkness, Jin Wenling opened her eyes, but found that she seemed to be blind, she still couldn't see anything.

He tightened his grip on the skirt of Wanbaile's shirt, and immediately felt his hand caressing his back as if to comfort him.

"It's okay, I sealed the surrounding area with rocks."

Wan Baylor lit a very faint ray of Samadhi real fire, and the faint fire light floated in the completely enclosed space, which seemed to have an unreal beauty.

"Wait a while for the wind and sand to pass, and we will leave here."

I don't know if it was an illusion caused by the ambiguous lights, Jin Wenling felt that Wan Baylor's face seemed a little pale, and his voice also had a slight change that was not easy to detect, it seemed to be a little deeper than in previous years.

"Are you okay, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Jin Wenling reached out to touch his forehead and felt his pulse, but he didn't know if Guixi's body could be penetrated with human medical principles. He only knew that there was nothing wrong with him physically. .

"I'm fine."

Wan Baylor laughed, which made Jin Wenling feel a little more at ease. Once he laughed, he still had a silly and sweet face.

But once upon a time, such smiles seemed to be less and less. Along the way, this man seemed to be gradually maturing. How long has it been since he was as self-willed and arrogant as before?Except for himself and a few people close to him, he seems to have less and less contact with the outside world...

Of course, this is not wrong. As time goes by, this is a growth stage that every man has to go through. Compared with women, they are lonely after all. After they grow up, they have to bear the burden of a family. Carrying weight on the road.

But Wan Baylor matured a bit fast, maybe it was because he was affected by being with him for a long time, or it was the negative influence brought to him by that scheming family, no matter what, Jin Wenling felt a little relieved by his changes, And a little distressed, he loves him, he hopes that he can have the ability to keep his lover's eternal innocence.

"Wen Ling, what's wrong with you?"

Wan Baylor smiled warmly, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around him, and rubbed his neck with his curly hair, making him itchy.

He also reached out and hugged his waist, confirming the existence of this person over and over again. He had some indescribable feeling in his heart, which was an inexplicable fear of the future. It's good to meet him. At that time, his three views have been finalized, and the people and things he likes will not change easily.

What happened to me, when did I become overwhelmed and suspicious?Is it like this when everyone loves deeply, wanting to catch the flowing life and freeze it in a specific time and space, which can never be changed.

"Wen Ling..."

Wan Belle's voice came out muffled from the hollow of his neck.

"Sometimes I'm thinking, I want to lock you in such a big rock forever, no one else can see, am I sick?"

"puff……"

Jin Wenling laughed and took his hand.

"Stop making trouble, listen, there is no sound of wind and sand hitting the rock wall outside, let's go out and check the situation."

Wan Baylor nodded obediently, held him in his arms, stretched out his hand and pressed the rock wall he summoned, the thick rock layer cracked, the wind and sand outside had died down, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the sand sea, shining golden light .

"What is this place……"

Jin Wenling slowly opened her eyes stung by the sun, and looked at the scene in disbelief. It was a boundless Populus euphratica, but it was not a forest, because those Populus euphratica had no branches, and their bare trunks stood in the vast expanse. In the middle of the desert, from a distance, it seems that an expeditionary team is trekking on the sea of ​​death, and it is frozen there forever.

"Is it a dead Populus euphratica forest?"

Wan Belle took Jin Wenling to find a small forest of Populus euphratica before, and arranged hot springs there for him to bathe in, but this forest was a bit weird, under the afterglow of the setting sun, it looked ghostly.

"I think this place is weird. Populus euphratica is a very drought-tolerant plant, and it is impossible to die in patches like this."

Jin Wenling took Wan Baylor's hand and walked forward, when he was about tens of meters away, he stopped.

"This is not Populus euphratica."

Jin Wenling turned her head and looked at Wan Baylor suspiciously.

"These Populus euphratica trees were cut down and turned into stakes, and they were artificially erected here..."
