Chapter 431: Staying in the desert
"The three of us walked east and west according to the picture drawn by Lao Lu. Unexpectedly, we did not find the passage where the water in the pond was pouring back, but went back to the other road.
"After walking the wrong path, we found another sarcophagus. After walking there, we suddenly felt a faint light in front of us. After turning it out, we found a large stone lying there. There were some gaps on the edge of the stone. Although it was still at night outside, there were also vague starlight.
"It took the three of us a long time to take turns to work, pushing, moving, prying, and digging. It took two or three hours to create a hole that could be drilled out. When we returned to the Niangniang Temple, we found that the large group of people were already there and were about to go down from the Chengsheng Temple.
"I quickly took everyone to the back mountain. As soon as I dug up the big stone and prepared to go in and search, you and Section Chief Feng fell from the air..."
"...Don't say your captain so badly."
"Yes! Captain!" Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue, "What should we do next?"
"Let's see if you can go in tomorrow. Contact Teacher Shen and the others early and ask them to come back as soon as possible."
"Understand." Xiao Yu stood up and made a call, "Hey, the phone is turned off."
"Wait," Lin Ying suddenly remembered something, and she called Xiao Yu, "I'd better not disturb Teacher Shen anymore. There are probably more important things to do on the other end."
...
Later I found out that when Lin Ying was saying this, Hua Yan and I were on a flight from Urumqi to Kashgar.
That night, my head suddenly became hot and I agreed to Hualan's plan to fly over Taklamakan, and then there was nothing to be thankful for.
Who knew that there were only GPS in the desert, no mobile signal, and using a mobile phone could only vaguely position and could not navigate at all. We "Feifei" stopped and it was almost early morning. If we couldn't think of a solution, then when Shen Yu appeared after midnight, she and I could only sit in the desert for a day.
At that time, I will be scolded by Shen Yu. If I fall to the ground and encounter heavy wind and quicksand again, I will never find the body if I die.
What to do? It seems that I can't get out of the desert tonight. If Hua Yan is anxious, fly over and run to the Karakoram Mountain, where there are wild mountains and snowy mountains on the plateau, Shen Yu and I will feel even more uncomfortable.
"Wait!" I patted Hua Yan's back in the air, "You come down first, we have to make a calculation."
Hua Yan nodded, and she took me to a parabolic form and fell freely. As soon as my feet hit the ground, I jumped gently and came to a buffer. In this way, we could use force to relieve our strength and land steadily.
The deep and wide yellow sand under our feet was endless. We just stood for a while, and the heel sand was poured back into our shoes like water.
"What's the matter?" she asked me, and she was still breathless when she heard the sound.
I know that Hua Yan is not tired, but anxious.
"Don't worry, now there is not much time left. If we can't find a place to go by midnight, then the next day, I and Shen Yu and I will not only not be able to get out of the desert, but also face danger."
"This is what I'm anxious about!"
"It's better to do this. Don't rush out of the desert anymore. If you fly higher and find a small oasis in the desert, Shen Yu and I will stay there for a day the next day, and then wait for you to appear, let's make a big plan again."
Hua Yan lowered her head and thought about it.
"Well, this is also a solution."
"I'm just waiting here. You jump to a high place. The higher you jump, the farther you see, it's best to find a village. If you can't find it, a small area with water plants is fine. We won't die of thirst the next day."
"Oh," Hua Yan sighed, "I didn't expect that Chen Yu arranged for me to have delicious food and drink yesterday, but today I made her unable to drink even cold water."
"It's okay, you're kind, I'll say good things for you."
Hua Yan nodded, she looked at the stars in the sky, then squatted down and jumped up.
I saw a black shadow heading towards the starry sky like lightning, instantly turning into a black dot in the air, and finally blending with the night color, and I could no longer find it.
I looked up at the air, looking at it for a long time but no movement, and I couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
I believe she can jump into outer space, but what if she finds the wrong direction when she lands? Then I'm just alone in the desert and can't get out.
Just as I was worried, I heard a thump behind me and looked back, Hua Yan had already returned.
"Have you found the nearby oasis?" I asked hurriedly.
She nodded and then shook her head again.
What does this mean?
"I saw the snow-capped mountains in the distance," she said.
That should be the Kunlun Mountain or Karakoram Mountain outside the desert?
"You jump too high. Looking down from the higher you see, the further you see, the oasis is similar to millet and it is difficult to find." I had to remind her.
"Then I'll try to jump a little."
Before I finished speaking, she flew into the sky with a whistle. I felt a little anxious, because it was only three or four minutes away from midnight. If I couldn't find an oasis, it would be useless to see Antarctica from the sky.
A few dozen seconds later, she returned to a place two or three meters away from me.
"Have you found it?" I asked her again.
She didn't say anything, just stood there.
"What's wrong?"
"It feels a little strange. There is indeed a small oasis over there, but it feels strange."
"It's too late! You have to go over quickly!" I said, holding my watch, "It's less than two minutes!"
"Okay!" She walked over and picked me up.
The whistling wind mixed with sand and dust passed by my eyes. The wind and sand made people unable to open their eyes at all. I was afraid that the same would be true for the Hualang. Then we both lost the last chance to find an oasis tonight.
But this kind of worry was unnecessary. After a moment, Hua Yan took me to land next to a pool of clear water.
This clear water is not large in area, just like a small mirror reflecting the stars and moon in the sky. It looks like you can walk around a few hundred steps. The water beach is covered with camel thorns, a sand jujube forest, and a few gray poplar trees.
No matter what, although the conditions here are more difficult, at least there is water and grass, it can be regarded as a place where you can make a living in the short term. At least you won’t worry about wind and sand invasion.
I was looking around, but Hua Ling walked straight to a small elm tree. She looked at the sky, suddenly hugged the trunk, and pulled it up with force.
Her actions were really shocking. In ancient times, Lu Zhishen pulled up the weeping willows, and now Asura grabbed the elm tree with his bare hands.
"What are you doing?" I hurried over and asked.
She pointed to the sky and said, "It's the direction of that star."
She said as she placed the elm along the ground.
"There are no stars during the day, and the direction of the canopy is pointed at that place." She continued, "not far away, just behind the big sand dune."
"What are you talking about?" I was still confused.
"I..." She just spit out a word, and then she froze there like a stone.
"Where is this?" she asked at me.
