Origin Chapter 288: Into the desert

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Jiang Nan was joking with him, but he was still very embarrassed. He coughed dryly, took a long breath, and lay quietly without speaking.

Jiang Nan didn't move. She didn't know if she was waiting for Wu Zhongyuan to move. In short, she didn't move.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't move. He was a little regretful. As for what he was regretting, he couldn't tell. It might be that he regretted that he should not hesitate, or that he was too thin-skinned and too timid.

I don't know when I fell asleep, but I fell asleep later, and naturally I won't think about it when I fell asleep, but I'm used to sleeping alone, and suddenly there is another person beside me, so I'm still a little uncomfortable. I woke up one night, woke up and went to sleep, very restless.

Yinma River is located in the northwest region, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. In addition, the inn is very simple and the room is ventilated. At dawn, Wu Zhongyuan felt cold and turned over in a daze.

As soon as I turned over, I would inevitably have physical contact again. When I realized that Jiang Nan was sleeping beside me, I was no longer confused.

Young people are full of energy, and they are easily impulsive in every way. Calmness is the characteristic of older people, and they are very calm in all aspects.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue his efforts, the old blind man's voice came from the next door.

Hearing what the old blind man said, Wu Zhongyuan noticed that the wind was blowing outside. He leaned down to the ground, walked to the window and opened the window to observe the wind direction. It was very good.

When he closed the window and turned around, he found that Jiang Nan was also awake, sitting on the bed and straightening his hair.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan looking at her, Jiang Nan asked casually, "Pack up and leave early."

Originally, it wasn't completely stripped off, but when I took off my coat, it was quick to put on. It may be that they heard the sound of their walking, and the old blind man and the second child also got up. After a quarter of an hour, the four of them packed up and left the inn.

The Yichang Market in Yinma River is open during the day. In the morning, there are breakfast shops on the street. At this time, there are not so many breakfast shops and breakfast varieties in modern times. There is only one breakfast shop in the market, and Yihuan sells it. It is a kind of roasted naan similar to Roujiamo, which is different from the modern Roujiamo. At this time, the Roujiamo is not a piece of meat, but a whole piece of roasted meat. The roasted naan is also large, the size of a plate, one per person. , eat while walking.

After replenishing dry food and drinking water, Wu Zhongyuan changed a few sheepskin blankets. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is even greater, so you must bring something to keep out the cold.

The preparations were made, and then Dasha was called, carrying everyone, and set off on the road.

Because I slept too late and got up early, after the journey, everyone was a little sleepy, and there was little conversation. After half an hour, the sun rose, and everyone arrived at the junction area between the Gobi and the desert. The blind man said that he found an abandoned city wall that was almost buried by yellow sand, calibrated his position for the last time, and then entered the vast desert.

It would be a lie to say that I am not guilty. The vast desert is endless and lifeless. There are almost no plants and fewer animals along the way. All I can see is sand or sand.

The farther you go into the desert, the more uncertain Wu Zhongyuan feels. Everyone is taking the wind direction as a reference. The wind is the most elusive thing. There is no certainty where it will blow. It is also the southeast wind, which direction And the angle can't be exactly the same, there are too many uncertain factors.

At this time, there are no locators and satellite phones. Once lost, the consequences will be disastrous. He has a spar with Wu Qin's aura on him, but if he gets lost in the desert, even Wu Qin can't save him. them.

Potatoes are a common vegetable in modern times, and they are also a food supplement for poor people. He doesn't like to eat them very much, and he never thought that one day he would risk his life for a few potatoes, but now he really needs this kind of food. The potato named Zihua potato is the food and grass to fight in the war. The 100-day rice of the fox clan is not enough to supply the clan’s needs. It is necessary to find and bring back the purple potato. With these two things, there is no need to worry about the war. , Don't worry about the soldiers running out of food, and don't worry that the war will affect farming and cause the tribe to starve to death.

Among the four, except the old blind man who had entered the desert, none of the other three had gone deep into the desert hinterland, so they were not nervous, but anxiety was always inevitable. If the old blind man was not blind, perhaps the three of them would still feel more at ease , but the old blind man was blind many years ago, let the blind man lead the way, take the wind as a reference, this is more dangerous than the night black wind, the blind man blind horse.

Worrying that the wind direction will change, Dasha has never had a land since he set off, and has been flying downwind. On the way, the old blind man once again informed everyone about the situation of the Dixing family. The Dixing family should be the closest relatives of the modern echidna. It may be related to the porcupine. In short, it is an animal with sharp thorns and lives in the ground. It is about the same size as a wild boar and weighs more than 200 pounds. Its IQ is not high but it is very fierce.

The Black Cloud Valley where they live is actually an oasis in the desert. Purple sweet potato is their main food. Although they can't cultivate, they know that they will not eat all the wild purple sweet potato, and will deliberately leave a part.

The Earthlings cannot change into human beings. At least the old blind man has never seen the Earthlings who can transform into human form. The attacks of the Earthlings are simple and rude. They mainly focus on scratching and biting. The goddess scattered flowers, and those sharp thorns are the length of chopsticks, very hard and very sharp.

Searching for the purple flower potato is extremely dangerous, but the danger does not come from the Dixing people. No matter how sharp the thorns of the Dixing people are, it is impossible to hurt Dasha. If this trip is 100% dangerous, among them Ninety percent of them came from the way to find the Black Cloud Valley. The weather in the desert is changing rapidly, especially the mobile desert.

At noon, Dasha fell to the ground, not because the wind had changed, but because the wind had stopped.

There are many tall dunes in the desert. The sun shines directly at noon, and the heat is unbearable. Everyone rests and waits on the shady side of a hill.

There are only a few animals in the desert, but it is not completely absent. It is not only everyone who knows the summer, there is also a five-foot-long poisonous snake coiled in the shade. The second child is an armadillo. The cats are a bit similar. They don’t eat the mice immediately after they catch them. They will play for a long time.

The old blind man set off from the Yinma River, and took a bird to fly for six hours before he stumbled upon the Black Cloud Valley. Everyone started at the hour. The valley is still half way.

The shade of the desert is just out of reach of the sun. In fact, the temperature is not low. After the sand is heated, the heat waves are rolling in. Even hiding in the shade is like taking a sauna.

The second child also has a poisonous snake to kill time. The three of them can only wait. In fact, waiting is not tormenting, because while waiting, they can take the opportunity to think about many problems. Wu Zhongyuan has been closing his eyes, thinking about getting After the spiritual qi, something should be used as a reference, and it should be buried in the spiritual stone in some places.

What was buried 5,000 years ago, even if it is me, may not be found after 5,000 years, because 5,000 years is too long, not to mention the rivers that often divert, even the peaks that stand in place. will be deformed.

After pondering for a long time, I suddenly had an idea. That day, the bird warrior dressed as a Taoist priest who tried to kill him in modern times had obtained a spiritual stone. The spiritual stone was wrapped in an iron ball and then embedded in the In a piece of bluestone, he clearly remembered the shape and size of the iron ball, and also heard from Mr. Li, who once collected the spirit stone, about the general situation of the mountain where the spirit stone is located.

In the future, if you get the spirit stone, you can go there. He doesn't know where the mountain is. He only knows that it is in the area where the bird tribe is close to Dongguan. At that time, he will take the spirit stone there. Chu Shanfeng embedded the iron **** wrapped with spirit stones into the bluestone as a reference, and then buried some more nearby. Once Wu Mi sent them back, he would go to the place where Mr. Li got the iron balls. Find other spirit stones

In this way, the spiritual stone obtained by the bird warrior dressed as a Taoist priest was buried by him, and eventually obtained and used by himself. He didn't bother to think about the paradox of time and space, you know Not all thinking is necessary to think, just remember one thing, what is thrown from the upstream, the downstream will definitely get it, there is no mistake in this logic.

The weather was very hot and the desert was very dry, and it didn't take long for the three of them to start sweating and their lips to burst.

I stayed up until the sun went down, and it finally got better. After nightfall, the temperature dropped sharply, and the four of them moved from the shady side to the sunny side, where the sand still had the residual temperature left by the sunlight.

When it came to a fixed meal time, Dasha wanted to eat, but there was no food nearby for him to eat. Wu Zhongyuan sent his thoughts and only asked him to eat after leaving here, and Dasha lay down quietly. .

After dark, scorpions and snakes in the desert come out to forage. Their food is insects and rodents respectively. There are few plants in the desert, and I don't know what they live on.

There is a second child, and there are no poisonous insects near the three of them. The second child is also a nocturnal animal, and it keeps vigil at night.

Stayed up all night, and the next day was still windless, so I had no choice but to wait.

Dasha can survive for a long time without eating, and everyone brought plenty of dry food and drinking water, at least half a month's supply. It's okay to wait a few days from here.

In the afternoon of the third day, the wind finally picked up, but it was not the southeast wind that everyone expected, but the bitter west wind.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the yellow sand fills the sky, and the clouds cover the sun. Although it is daytime, it almost reaches the point where you can't see your fingers. Fortunately, there is a big fool. Hiding under its belly, relying on its shelter.

The four of them were all disheartened at this time. Seeing that the three of them were in embarrassment and sadness, Wu Zhongyuan felt very guilty, causing them to suffer and was very uneasy.

The wind picked up in the afternoon, and it didn't weaken until the middle of the night. Looking around, the originally towering sand dune had turned into a small dirt bag, at least tens of meters had been cut away.

There was still no wind the next day. Although everyone complained secretly, they could only continue to wait...
