Ten years of life and death, without thinking, never forgetting.Thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about desolation. ——Su Shi's "Jiangchengzi"

The sea of ​​sand, I am one step closer to you!

After Li Yifan and his party arrived in Urumqi, they did not set off directly, but disguised themselves and mingled with the locals.Although the ethnic minorities live together in the frontier of the motherland, and they have special looks, with the development of the economy, many inland people come here to do business or participate in construction. It is not difficult to hide in it. .

After waiting here for about two days, Meng Chen inquired about the news from the outside. The Li family also came here and stayed in the best hotel in the city with great fanfare.

During the waiting period, Li Yifan once asked Meng Chen if he wanted to rescue Zhao Zheng here, but the answer was the opposite. Zhao Zheng had told him before that he would go forward with the Li family and they just had to wait for the right time, so Li Yifan Still disappointed, he went back and continued to look at the sky, in a daze.

After learning that the Li family was here, every time Meng Chen went out quietly, Li Yifan would follow behind. In fact, Meng Chen had already discovered that he just didn't want to expose this person who didn't want to reveal his sincerity.

On the second day of tracking, Li Yifan met Zhao Zheng.

He is not thin, he seems to be a bit fatter; he is not injured and does not need support; who is next to him?This little elf dared to seduce people while the master and I were away, his skin itch!Hey, but her clothes seem to belong to a hotel waiter!I am really a demon!

Li Yifan stared at Zhao Zheng, looked at him from a distance, his teeth were about to be gritted, but he could vaguely feel that he also took a look at himself, no, he really saw himself!So Li Yifan quickly hid, just like the person who caught Xiaosan halfway, the matter was revealed, and he was shy and didn't know how to deal with it.

This appearance was just the right time for the Li family to set off into the desert. Even Meng Chen stayed outside the hotel for a day and a night before he had this chance to meet Zhao Zheng. However, he didn't need to communicate with Zhao Zheng. You will be able to understand the Lord's next arrangement, which is an innate tacit understanding.

"Let's go! We're taking a day off, and we're leaving for the desert! Otherwise, we won't be able to come back for the New Year!"

Meng Chen suddenly spoke behind Li Yifan, almost screaming in fright, but fortunately, he has a good mental quality.

"Aren't we going to rescue Zhao Zheng, shall we go with him?"

"Mr. Zhao has an arrangement. Let's go to a place first. He will get out soon and come to meet us!"

There is nothing to argue about. In front of Zhao Zheng, Meng Chen's words carry more weight than himself, not to mention that Meng Chen has a very strong ability to execute, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

On the way back, the two of them didn't say anything. The more familiar they were, the less Li Yifan would joke with Meng Chen. Maybe deep down, he thought Meng Chen didn't like him very much.

"Li Yifan, to be honest, I used to dislike you very much! But now, I don't dislike you either!"

Li Yifan didn't know how to answer Meng Chen's sudden opening!

"You don't have to answer, many things have nothing to do with you, you are just a person involved!"

These words are so familiar. In the dream on the plane, the middle-aged man who rescued Zichan also said similar words. He was shot while lying down, very helpless!

"What do you mean by that? It's true that I didn't participate in your actions for any reason, and I also suffered a little bit, but when it comes to being implicated, I don't quite understand it!"

Meng Chen glanced at Li Yifan, a little helpless, but he didn't bother too much, "Let's go! You will know when it's time for you!"

They stayed in this city for another two days. Li Xian took care of the frail Li Wenxuan in the hotel, Meng Chen went out to purchase equipment needed for the desert, and Li Yifan, under San Pang's strong request, accompanied the young child to play and eat. Local specialty snacks, but their conscience is still good, remember to pack some to take home after eating.

This is a game for explorers. Among the five people, two were seriously injured and one was still fighting the five scumbags. Meng Chen was so disappointed with San Pang and Li Yifan's performance that the kebabs they brought back , didn't eat a single bite, not only that, but he also suffered from internal injuries.

"Everyone, come here, I have something to say!"

If you are angry, you still have to deal with the things that should be dealt with. Tomorrow, you will enter the hinterland of the desert. There is no man's land there, and the conditions are harsh. All the precautions that should be mentioned in the early stage must be explained clearly.

"On this trip, the Li family set off to the northwest. There is a reason why we are two days behind them. After that, we have to go a little further north to avoid them."

"Will they find that place first?"

"No! Their purpose is different from ours, but Mr. Zhao plays a role in it. They will act as mine detectors and deal with the existing shortcomings in front of us, so that our danger in the future will be greatly reduced."

"Then, is Zhao Zheng in danger?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao has already planned it out, and within three days, you will be able to meet!"

After Meng Chen said this to Li Yifan relaxedly, within a minute, the string was tightened again.

"What I'm going to say next is about personal comfort. You'd better think about it! This trip is no more like a grassland. We are going to enter the desert with nothing to live in. We may face hunger, thirst and hunger, as well as those poisonous insects and ant beasts." , the fate of life and death, it is very difficult for me to control, so it is too late to stay now!"

After Meng Chen finished speaking, he took a special look at Li Wenxuan who was still lying on the bed. Because of his physical condition, it would undoubtedly be a big trouble for Li Wenxuan to follow him into the desert. When something happens, it will be really difficult to take care of her.

Li Wenxuan also knew it in his heart, but the little girl was naturally stubborn, got up and sat on the bed, looked at Meng Chen with certainty, "I don't need special care, I can do it!"

"Sister! Why don't you stay here as our backing? I'll take a picture of Thief Li's execution and show it to you! Your body really can't stand that kind of environment."

"Xiao Xian, needless to say, I have my own plan, and I won't hold you back!"

The more he said this, the more excited he became, and the scene was a little awkward for a while, so Li Yifan had no choice but to come out to save the situation.

"Xuanxuan, you may have misunderstood Meng Chen's meaning. He is also thinking about your body. If you have an accident, Li Xian will definitely have a hard time. Naturally, some people will also be sad!"

"Li Yifan, shut up if you don't know how to speak! Since everyone is going, then go back and have an early rest. Gather in the lobby at six o'clock tomorrow morning!"

After saying this, Meng Chen stood up and left directly, Li Xian's face flushed abnormally, and Li Yifan dragged San Pang back to the room.

Back in the room, San Pang exploded, "Does no one think I exist? How can I ignore my big body? And that Meng Chen, what did you say? What happened to Xuan Xuan! I asked, why is he so big?" Already!"

"Oh, Fatty, please calm down, and no one ignores you. No, I still remember your existence! Besides, Li Wenxuan and I are going, will you not go? So there is no need to ask you! But , you are alone now, if you don’t follow me, where can you go?”

These words angered San Pang who was on fire, and then a violent pillow fight went on for more than an hour, and finally ended with San Pang exhausted.

Several people changed into local clothes, covered their faces with only a pair of eyes exposed, led six camels, loaded with supplies and camouflage goods, and slowly marched towards the uninhabited desert.

This day's rush, sitting on the back of a camel, was boring and boring. Fortunately, Meng Chen had a thorough plan. As the sky was getting dark, they came to a small desert village with a relatively primitive appearance.

The people here are hospitable and hospitable. For the guests who come from afar, their village chiefs come out to greet them and take them to their own houses to entertain them.

Maybe it was too long since no strangers came here. The villagers gathered around the door of the village chief's house, looking at the five outsiders like monkeys in a zoo.

As the number one diplomat of our side, Meng Chen learned the local dialect at some point, and it was very easy to communicate with the village head. After suffering a few others, he nodded and bowed with a smile when he didn't understand.

It was getting late, and the village, where the sun set, began their late bed time.

Li Yifan and the others were arranged on a big bunk. Considering the safety factor, everyone didn't mind too much, but it was somewhat inconvenient for a girl like Li Wenxuan.

"This village is the last stop on the way to the destination, you guys have to think about it! Next, we will sleep in the wild, precarious!"

No one proposed to retreat, so Meng Chen continued, "I just told the village chief about our situation. We came here as scientific research personnel to investigate and will make a great contribution to the local economic development. The village chief heard I'm very happy, I will send someone to be our guide, so don't go out of your way when the time comes! Oh, by the way, during this trip, San Fatty is a scientist, Li Wenxuan is his wife, and his body is infected with wind and cold. Li Xian and Li Yifan are doing odd jobs. It's an assistant, understand?"

Sanpang was naturally very happy with this arrangement. Even if he couldn't get Li Wenxuan's people, it would be nice to ask for a bargain once in a while. After suffering from those two odd jobs, all the hard and heavy work would be theirs.

Early the next morning, the village head called the whole village, and everyone waited for these distinguished guests who came from afar.

Li Yifan got up to go to the bathroom, and was taken aback by those people, all of them looked at him with smiles, the smiles were very real and warm.

After breakfast, the village head brought a black and strong man in his 20s, and introduced that he was the only man in their village who could speak some Mandarin and had good ability to survive in the wild. The key point was that this man had been to Pass where Li Yifan and the others are going.

With such a guide, for Li Yifan and the others, it would be like a tiger with wings added, but this person is about the same age as them, is he as powerful as he said?

Under the watchful eyes of the whole village, Meng Chen left the goods used for camouflage before departure at the village chief's house, and asked the village chief to distribute them to the villagers, which was also their thanks.These simple villagers, with tears in their eyes, reluctantly sent them away for a kilometer. After repeated persuasion, they stopped their progress.

In this desert, if the weather is good, it is no problem to walk ten kilometers a day. If you encounter special circumstances, you will be trapped to death. Found a good place to pitch camp.

This place is not deep in the desert, and some dead branches can be picked up. When Li Yifan and the others set up the tent, Zalaka went to pick up the branches and lit a fire.

"Hey, Zaraka, you are amazing!"

Being praised by San Fatty, Zaraka was a little embarrassed.Along the way, Zaraka led a camel to lead the way, and he didn't talk to Li Yifan and the others. Even when he had a break to eat, he stayed alone.

"Yes, Zaraka, don't be so shy, we are about the same age, we should have a lot to talk about!"

Li Yifan also wanted to open up this boring chatterbox, but he might admit that he was born, so he just barely opened his mouth and said, "I'm 19 years old!"

He's still a child, and he really can't tell from his appearance, but people who grew up in this environment will look more vicissitudes than those of their peers in big cities, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big!

Li Wenxuan brought the roasted mutton to Zaraka, his eyes were full of gratitude, and facing Li Wenxuan, he began to talk more.

Talking about the world, Li Yifan and his party talked about the outside world, which made Zalaka envious, and Zalaka talked about the mystery of the desert, which was even more exciting, and occasionally talked about the poisonous scorpion in the front, which made people all over the body. cold sweat.

When it was time to go to bed, Zaraka asked them to rest and kept vigil by the fire. However, considering the long journey ahead and the fact that he had a child, he could not be bullied like this, so he divided the vigil into three sections: Laka and Li Yifan, Li Xian and Sanpang guarded from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], and Meng Chen stayed alone in the second half of the night.

Throughout the first half of the night and the middle part, everything was normal, but in the second half of the night of Meng Chenshou, strange things happened!
