94. Chapter 94 Longevity Blessing
"Have you passed Provincial Highway 218?" Wushuang asked him.
Continue walking north along Provincial Highway 218, and at the intersection with National Highway 317, there is a place called Mandrasumu. This is not a town or a county. However, due to the intersection of the two highways, a city was formed over time.
It is a trade center. Going further north from here is the truly vast and boundless Bagan Jilin Desert.
Of course, this is still the edge of the desert, and it is also a gathering place for many travelers and photography enthusiasts. It is safe here, with the prairie behind it, so there are few sandstorms and the temperature is not too high, making it suitable for taking pictures.
"Yaoerdaxi, we can't leave anymore. Changshengtian went to bed at midnight, and he won't bless us." This child is very superstitious.
Wushuang looked at the map and then compared the terrain on the left and right to judge that there should be a small town not far ahead. The child might be too tired from driving all afternoon.
The northwest town is vast and sparsely populated. Most of them are local ethnic minorities and descendants of the educated youth left behind by the previous development of the northwest. The town is very depressed. It is midsummer now, which is not a season that travelers like. You must know that the daytime temperature in the desert is even
Can reach fifty degrees.
Wushuang dropped Arlans in a small town, found him a hotel, and told him to wait for him at Mandela Sumu. Then he drove along the provincial road and continued into the desert.
He had to rush to the edge of the Bagan Jilin Desert before dawn to find a place to stay. Once it was daytime, the ground was too hot to leave, so he had to travel at night. He didn't want to give up the opportunity to the Nanmai Gold Touching Sect.
.
At three o'clock in the morning, he finally felt the Mandrake Sumu. In spring and autumn, the sand houses here are simple hotels for travelers to stay. However, the owners of the hotels in this season have already gone to Yinchuan or Xining to escape the summer heat, leaving only
The next one is an empty sand room and a wooden bed.
He made a cup of kumiss and soaked it in compressed biscuits, and that was a meal. Where can you find fine food and clothing in the wild? As long as you can eat enough, you will be happy. He just received a call from Na Lanhong, and he also pinched it for Mei Xi.
I was sweating a lot, but fortunately the call was made in time. Nalanhong should have known how to handle it.
The sandy wind roared by, and he looked at the stars in the sky and was filled with emotion. He had already stayed out of the matter, but the arrival of Mei Xi involved him in the dispute between the rivers and lakes. Maybe this was his fate, and there was no point in hiding.
If you can't avoid it, you are destined to be a golden captain for the rest of your life.
The sky has turned white in the east, and the sandstorm is still going on. Wushuang closed his eyes deeply. This is the safest place. Even wild animals will stay away under the scorching sun of the desert. Although the conditions here are poor, this sleep
The sleep I had was the most comfortable I had had in two years. It felt like I had returned to the days when several good brothers and sisters fought side by side two years ago.
When he opened his eyes again, he could already see the golden sunset in the desert. The sunset was infinitely beautiful but it was almost dusk. There were wolf howls in the distance, the temperature began to drop, and the wolves began to move around again. He patted his face and took a piece of wet water.
He wiped his face with a towel and got into the car while nibbling dry biscuits. He had to hurry up.
The boundless desert brings boundless loneliness to travelers. A person walking continuously in the desert is like a lonely boat floating in the vast sea. There is no end and no destination. Wushuang really has no destination, boundless
He didn't know where those guys were in the desert or what they were looking for.
At first, it was still on the edge of the desert, with a few green plants and food packaging bags left by travelers occasionally visible. But the deeper you went, the less alive it became, as if you were in another world, where there was only him and the sand.
He really needed a companion, and he began to regret not taking that Uighur boy with him. Even if he didn't say anything, it would still be good if he just gave him a look occasionally.
The Wrangler off-road four-wheel drive kept wandering in the desert. Wushuang just followed his own intuition and headed north. Occasionally when he saw a sand mountain, he would get out of the car and go to check it out. He drove very slowly because of the desert.
The most fatal thing about the place is not only the heat, but also the bunker hidden under the sand. This bunker is almost like a swamp. Once you fall in, even the gods and goddesses cannot save you.
Driving in the desert only tests the performance of the car and has nothing to do with the person's driving skills. You can drive as you like in the huge desert. His adventure experience is so experienced that he will stop the car and mark this point on the satellite locator before walking a certain distance.
On the one hand, you can find the right way back, and on the other hand, you can wrap a bottle of mineral water in a coarse cloth and bury it under the sand.
Although I have brought a lot of water, it is still difficult to say how long this trip will take. Once you are in danger and cannot continue moving forward, you must have plenty of drinking water to sustain your life on the way back. In this way,
Follow each point and there will be enough water supply.
The Bagan Jilin Desert was a Silk Road in early ancient times. There are countless skeletons of merchants and travelers buried in the vast desert. Along the way, we occasionally saw the skeletons of camels, vultures, and wolves, but there were no human skeletons.
It is estimated that people will be eaten up by these local creatures immediately after death.
In this environment, no matter how firm your will is, you will be surrounded by the breath of death little by little, people's consciousness of survival will be gradually depressed, and the whole person will seem to be marching through hell without hope.
After driving for about seven or eight hours, the sand wind gradually weakened and he became tired. Another sand mountain several hundred meters high appeared in front of him. The formation of the sand mountain was very simple. There might have been a small stone here at first.
After thousands of years of sand winds, the small rocks were filled with sand, and more and more sand was piled up, eventually forming sand mountains.
He buried another bottle of water in the shade under the sand mountain. Click, the lighter lit the cigarette, and he leaned against the sand mountain and smoked freely. No one here would nag him anymore. He could smoke as much as he wanted.
Just smoke as much as you want. But he prefers that the nagging girl is right in front of him.
He finally couldn't bear the loneliness anymore and dialed the satellite phone.
"Xiaolan, is Meixi feeling better?"
When Nalanhong saw that it was Wushuang's call, he hurriedly asked: "Don't worry, it's okay. Haiyue is sleeping with her now. Where are you now? Are you hiding something from me?"
"What can happen to me? I just got bored and went out for a walk. As long as her fever has gone away, it will be fine. The corpse soaked in blood cannot be left, so just destroy it."
"Haha, actually you just miss her, right? Why are you doing this? You obviously like her but you dare not say it. How long will it take for you to hide?"
