After Daohua took the rice and picked up a push of firewood, the sun had set, leaving only a bright red sunset glow in the sky.

The temperature has begun to drop. Daohua lit the fire, then sat in front of the fire with rice in her arms and enjoyed the sunset on the Gobi Desert.

Daozi huddled in Daohua's arms, eating pastries while chattering to Daohua, without any trace of the panic or fear of living in the Gobi Desert.

Daohua's calm and relaxed look gave Daozi a great sense of security.

He knew that as long as his mother was around, she would definitely protect him.

"Mom, it's cold!"

The sky was getting darker and the temperature was getting lower. When Daohua heard her son cry out that he was cold, she took the little guy into the tent and stuffed him into a warm wool blanket.

Dao Zi was still young after all, and he didn't even realize how they could carry so many items with them after escaping from Wuhu Village.

"Lie well and let me make you some milk tea."

Daozi nodded obediently.

Daohua left the tent curtain open so that the little one could see everything outside the tent without getting scared.

Daohua made a multi-pod with long branches and fixed it on the fire. Then she hung a clay pot on the fire and cooked milk tea.

During this period, she was worried about the strong wind at night, so she found some large rocks nearby and compacted the surrounding area of ​​the tent.

After finishing this, Daohua thought for a while, took out some medicinal materials from the space, and now made some medicine to repel animals, and sprinkled it around the boulders.

While doing this, Daohua explained to Daozi why he should do this and popularized some common sense and skills about sleeping in the wild.

After that, Daohua fed the dog Xiaoyi and the camel some water and food, and then entered the tent with the cooked milk tea.

"Mom, why do we still have milk tea to drink?"

Daozi still noticed something was wrong.

Daohua said calmly: "There are many things tied to the camel that my mother took away, including milk tea."

After hearing this, Dao Zi was immediately relieved, lowered his head and slowly drank the warm milk tea.

Seeing that her son stopped asking, Daohua smiled and drank a bowl of milk tea.

At this time, it was completely dark and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of burning firewood.

Daohua saw the bright starry sky above her head, and her heart moved. She moved the wool blanket closer to the tent entrance, then lay down next to Daozi, pointed to the sky and said, "Daohua, have you seen the stars in the sky?"

Daozi nestled in Daohua's arms and nodded: "Mom, there are so many stars."

Seeing that he was still energetic, Daohua began to tell him various stories about the stars, Chang'e flying to the moon, Weaver Girl and Cowherd...

While telling the story, Daohua saw the Big Dipper and immediately began to teach Daozi how to use the Big Dipper to identify directions.

"Daizi, have you seen the seven brightest stars in the sky? When connected, do they look like a spoon?"

"Is there a bright star extending five times the distance from the mouth of the spoon? That star is called Polaris, and its direction is north."

Daozi was a little confused when he heard it. Daohua knew that this was quite difficult for her four-year-old son, so she didn't force him to remember it, just to let him have an impression.

After talking about the Big Dipper, Daozi began to yawn frequently. Daohua moved the blanket into the tent, added some more firewood to the fire, and closed the tent curtain.

The night passed peacefully.

Looking at the sun rising slowly on the eastern horizon, Daohua pondered.

Xiao Yeyang will definitely come to find them, but she is not sure how long it will take. Although there is food in the space, she will not be able to explain it after leaving for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, Daohua decided not to wait where she was. She watched the Big Dipper last night and knew the direction of the north. Wuhu Village was in the northeast of Xiliang. She took her son towards the northeast, so she should be able to meet him earlier.

Found Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua made milk tea, gave the pastry to Daohua, and then went to pack the tent. After packing it, she put it on the camel's back.

After seeing this, Daozi asked: "Mom, aren't we waiting here for daddy?"

Daohua thought for a moment and said, "We can't place all our hopes on daddy, but we also need to learn to save ourselves, you know?"

After saying that, he rubbed his son's head and took the opportunity to say: "Don't place your hopes on others at any time. In this world, only yourself is the most reliable."

Dao Zi seemed to understand but nodded, indicating that he understood.

Daohua took the time to eat something, then faced the morning glow and set off again.

......

"Hoo~"

The wind and sand on the Gobi Desert were very strong, so Daohua took out two pieces of thin cotton cloth and wrapped himself and Daozi's heads, leaving only the eyes.

When it was almost noon, Daohua was about to find a place to stop and rest, but then a strong wind blew.

Although the wind intensity was not as strong as the sandstorm, it still succeeded in causing Daohua to lose its direction again.

When the wind stopped, Daohua could only find a place to pitch a tent again, waiting for night to come, and watching the Big Dipper again to identify the direction.

"Mom, look, this stone is so beautiful!"

When looking for rocks to weigh down the tent, Dazai found a blood-red stone nearby.

At first, Daohua didn't care, but when Daozi came back with a few stones of different colors, Daohua was surprised.

These stones look a bit like jade!

Later, Daohua followed her son and saw more and more strange stones. These stones had various shapes and colors including red, waxy yellow, mud green, etc. They were extremely beautiful.

"It is rumored that the Gobi Desert is rich in jade and strange stones, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Daohua looked at the various stones of different sizes on the ground, a few of which even emitted bright light, and immediately decided to stay here for more time so that she could check the stones before returning.

She took a cursory look and found that there were quite a few good-quality jade and agate among these stones. If she took them back and had them processed by a craftsman, she would definitely be able to sell them at a good price.

Daohua stayed here with Daozi for two days, picked up a lot of stones and put them in the space.

Before Xiao Yeyang arrived, Daohua could only take her son and continue heading northeast.

Before leaving, Daohua left some spices here, thinking that if she met Xiao Yeyang, she would ask Xiao Yeyang to send someone here to pick up stones.

There are a lot of jade and strange stones here. If you pick them up, you will definitely make a lot of money.

"Mom, why hasn't dad come to us yet?"

"Because it takes time to find someone."

Daohua looked at Daozi who was sitting obediently on the camel's back. She was very relieved that her son had not complained about suffering or tiredness in the past two days.

Everyone at home pampers and indulges the little guy, and she is really afraid that her son will turn into a playboy.

Being arrested this time is not entirely a bad thing. It also allowed my son to experience the difficulty and hardship of being outside.

When the sun set in the west, Daohua looked around for a place to sleep when she suddenly saw a lake in front of her.

"Mirage?"

Isn’t it said that hallucinations occur only when you are extremely hungry and hungry? They don’t lack enough to eat and drink.

After thinking about it, Daohua drove her camel towards the lake. When she got closer, she realized that it was a real lake.
