Little Mr. is one hundred years old

A large lake, showing gem-like blue, seems to contain infinite brilliance under the refraction of sunlight.

Qing Huan walked slowly to the front of the lake, and he saw his own figure reflected on the lake—like looking in a mirror, but after staring at it for a long time, he had a strange feeling—is that himself...

Qing Huan felt a little irritable, he squatted down, pulled the lake water, disturbed the calm lake water, and the shadow disappeared—when he retracted his hand, unexpectedly, a pale hand stretched out from the lake, and then Pulled him down—he tried to break free, but the force was too strong, like a pair of big pincers...

After a short period of darkness, he was already in the lake, lying on his back, with the scorching sun on the top—someone approached, and then Qing Huan saw a figure standing on the shore—thin figure, pale face—— It's me!Why... He was clearly in the lake, but the person on the shore... Qing Huan saw that the person on the shore seemed to stretch out his hand, and he raised his hand to grab the person on the shore, but suddenly, something grabbed his waist Clothes, dragged him to a deeper lake bottom...

"Little Mister, Little Mister."

The intermittent voice awakened Qing Huan from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw a dark face. The surrounding sounds gradually became clearer. The humming helicopter's rotor sound could not be ignored.

"Sorry, I fell asleep."

"Mr. Xiao must be too tired." This dark-skinned man is Yuan Lang, the captain of Ji Zhiqiu's mission before: "I wouldn't wake you up if I wasn't almost there."

"Well, thank you." Qing Huan sat up straight and looked out the window. Except for the distant black dots, all he could see was a whole piece of yellow, which was all desert.

"I can only land here, and the helicopter can't drive in."

"Is there not enough oil?" Qing Huan asked.

"This is one reason," Yuan Lang paused, and replied, "The other reason is the magnetic field."

"magnetic field?"

"There is a problem with the magnetic field here, and the helicopter cannot drive in."

"So that's how it is." Qing Huan actually didn't find it strange—places like seas and deserts always have blind spots in the magnetic field.

In addition to Qing Huan and Yuan Lang, the helicopter also had the pilot Zhang Xiu, and another man who Qing Huan thought was a bit weird——his name was Ah Qi, and he was not very good-looking, but he had some burning spots on his face. Scar, at first glance, is not generally scary - but, he is a mute.

The helicopter landed slowly, and when Qing Huan got off from the top and stepped on the desert land, she really felt the difference—it really was a desert, and even the air was dry and hot.

Zhang Xiu drove the helicopter back, and Qing Huan and the three took the prepared things to the center of the desert.

"Mr. Xiao, don't look at the calm weather now, but if there is a problem here, it may be fatal." Yuan Lang said to Qing Huan as he walked, "For example, we encountered a sandstorm on the third day we came here. A brother among us It was folded inside, and the others were more or less injured." After speaking, Yuan Lang sighed.

"Haven't you ever thought about giving up?" Qing Huan asked.

"This is our task, but we must not give up if we fail." Yuan Lang said: "Besides, we have already made all the preparations when we set off." Including death.

However, a fool might simply think it was just a hiking adventure.Qing Huan recalled the text message Ji Zhiqiu sent him, he was still thinking about coming back to see him at that time...

"Ji Zhiqiu... did he cause you any trouble?" Qing Huan asked.

"That kid is really not bad, he can't tell that he is a novice at all, he didn't cry tired or bitter from the beginning to the end... In fact, I thought he, the young master, would not be able to bear the hardships and become our burden... But it turned out that it was me. I was mistaken, except for his arrogant temper, he doesn't like to talk to others, but he has always cooperated with everyone's actions, including when other team members were injured, he also helped take care of the wounded, and he was very active in whatever tasks he had..." Yuan Lang said Here he sighed again: "It's just too positive... If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't let him act alone at that time. I never thought that he would never come back."

"Did he act alone?"

"Yes." Yuan Lang nodded: "Originally, I wanted to go with him after dawn, but I didn't expect that he would leave after everyone fell asleep that night. After dawn, we only saw his empty berth. "

"This brat..." Qing Huan wanted to scold, but thinking of Ji Zhiqiu who didn't know where he was or what was going on right now, he couldn't say anything.

"He is a very thoughtful person. During the day, he had a dispute with the other two players in the team, because we were looking for the direction...Actually, I was more inclined towards Xiaoji at that time, but at that time the team The situation does not allow..."

"I understand, you are the captain after all, you have to consider the overall situation." Qing Huan said.

"Walk another five kilometers or so, and we will arrive at the place where our camp was stationed at that time." Yuan Lang said, pointing to the front.

Qing Huan looked up, and what she saw was still the yellow desert—"You have a really good sense of direction."

Yuan Lang shook his head: "You have to know, we have wandered around this place at least twenty times."

Qing Huan can imagine the severity of the situation at that time...

Five kilometers is not short, but in the desert, it is really not long.

Neither Yuan Lang nor Ah Qi had any abnormality, but when Qing Huan arrived, he was really tired - his current physique is indeed a bit weak.

"It's here, we were stationed here." Yuan Lang said: "This is a gentle slope, that is, the windward slope. We couldn't find obstacles such as trees or bushes at that time, so we had to build here. "

"Then let's set up a tent here now." Qing Huan said.

"Ah."

Ah Qi has already taken out the tent swiftly and started to tie it up. Qing Huan wanted to go up to help, but Ah Qi pointed to the side and made a gesture, meaning to let Qing Huan rest first—he still could see that Qing Huan Physical strength is a little weak.

"Little Mister, it's good that Ah Qi and I come, you rest first." Yuan Lang also said the same.

Qing Huan had no choice but to agree - lamenting that she had become weak again.

While resting, Qing Huan brought out the binoculars and began to look at the scenery in the distance—as the distance continued to increase, he actually saw different scenery...There are wind-eroded pillars of various shapes, especially It’s wind-eroded mushrooms, wind-eroded alcoves, wind-eroded ridges, wind-eroded castles, etc. There are quite a few of them... At first glance, it seems that there are people living there...

Qing Huan put away the binoculars, turned to Yuan Lang and asked, "Yuan Lang, let me ask you, did you find anything weird here at that time?"

"There are indeed a lot of weird things." Yuan Lang said while tidying up the shelves: "For example, that night, we saw a large area of ​​the ancient city, and thought we had finally found the place, but the more we walked forward, the more we felt something was wrong...It was only later that I knew it was a mirage... I was so happy..."

Qing Huan frowned: "A mirage is usually caused by the refraction of light under the scorching sun during the day, how could it appear at night..."

"Yeah, we thought so too, but it was a mirage, yes, and then it disappeared."

Qing Huan lowered his head in thought, tripped over something under his feet, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Ah Qi, who was not far away from him, reached out his hand in time to support him——

Qing Huan glanced at his bruised face, "Thank you."

Ah Qi nodded, and let go of Qing Huan's hand.

Qing Huan bent down and picked up the thing that almost tripped her just now—it was a handful of hay.

"It's rare to see grass in the desert." Yuan Lang glanced at it and said strangely.

Qing Huan sniffed the dry grass: "No, it's not the grass that grows here. It's pagoda grass, a kind of aquatic grass."

"Water plants?" Yuan Lang asked in surprise: "How can there be water plants here? Don't water plants grow in the lake?"

"Near here..." Qing Huan looked up, "Is there any water source?"

Yuan Lang shook his head: "No, if there was water, we wouldn't have to cut off the water at that time... Speaking of which, at that time, there was an extra pot of water on Xiao Ji's body, and the team members who were originally at odds with him even said that he kept it privately. Water, quarreled, almost got into a fight..."

"An extra pot of water?"

"Just the day before, I remembered that everyone took out the rest of the water, but the next day Xiao Ji did have a jug full of water on his body. I asked him privately, and he insisted that he didn't hide drinking water, but to that The source of the water was not properly explained... Later, before the conflict between him and the team members was resolved, he disappeared..."

"A pot of water..." Qing Huan looked down at the dried water plants in her hands, lost in thought...
