At about seven o'clock in the morning, the desert is immersed in boundless silence.
There is a waning moon in the azure sky in the west, and the white fish belly is spreading in the east. A magnificent picture is spread out in front of Kawazaka Hiroshi.
Volunteers in the camp have contracted an area of about 20,000 acres for tree planting, one-third of which is Red Gobi and two-thirds of which is desert. The desert camp is located at the blurred border with the desert next door. The main reason is that there are
A deep well drilled by a remote observation station.
The desert camp is surrounded by a large grove of low tamarisk trees, as well as sea buckthorn, aloe vera and other economic plants that can bring some revenue to the camp. This botanical garden of less than a thousand acres looks inconspicuous, but they are already there.
It has grown for five years in the harsh environment of the desert and is the result of five years of unremitting efforts by volunteers in the camp.
There is no real road from Xijing to here, and the straight-line distance between the camp and the provincial highway is 13 kilometers.
What Kawazaka Hiroshi was most worried about was that in the last thirteen kilometers, there was only one access road that was too simple to be called a road.
When daytime came, it took the convoy led by Duohua a full hour to cross the 13 kilometers of quicksand and Gobi. The rolling stones, wandering sand dunes and looming desert wolves were like those cruising in the red desert.
The ghosts of soldiers in the Gobi are mysterious and dangerous.
In a tent in the camp, golf boy Toshi Watanabe had just changed into his sportswear and was about to start the morning exercises he must insist on every day.
The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a man in a yellow cloak flashed in.
"Sister Haruko." Watanabe Jun felt strange. He dropped his cloak and it was Haruko who appeared in front of him in the same sportswear. He remembered clearly that Haruko was not with them yesterday.
"Handsome guy, I want to go for a run." Haruko took off the backpack from her back and reached out to rub Watanabe Jun's face; "Sister, I'll be your coach today, okay?"
Watanabe Jun nodded, facing Haruko, he always felt at a loss.
"Bring this." Chunzi took out a pair of black goggles from her backpack.
Watanabe Jun took it and put it on awkwardly.
"Wow! So cool!" Chunzi handed him another stainless steel kettle with a belt and said with a smile, "Young man, today's training program is jogging. Run south. Don't stop until you meet someone. Take this with you on the way.
If you are thirsty, you can take a few sips."
Watanabe Jun took the kettle, tied it around his waist skillfully, lifted the tent curtain and left.
"Wait a minute, this coach hasn't finished speaking yet." Haruko suddenly appeared in front of him. Watanabe Jun stopped in a hurry and almost bumped into Haruko's curvy body.
"See this?" Chunzi raised a small cell phone-like thing to his eyes.
Jun Watanabe saw his own appearance on the screen of his mobile phone. No matter how stupid he was, he understood that there was a camera hidden in the goggles he was wearing and that there was a transmitter hidden in the stainless steel kettle.
"Its effective range is one kilometer, so handsome guys can only move within this range. If you encounter any strange people, just look at them more, you know?"
Watanabe Jun nodded seriously and said, "I know."
"Mr. Li is coming, and someone is going to deal with him here. So Ajun must run seriously. You are now Mr. Li's scout."
Hearing that Zhu Tong was coming and that his run today was of such great significance, Watanabe Jun puffed up his chest and said: "Sister Chunzi, don't worry, Jun will run very fast."
"Mr. Li will be here at eight o'clock. Don't get lost." Chunzi took out a huge sports watch and put it on Watanabe Jun's right wrist. "If you encounter strange people or things, press here and my sister will be there soon."
Go help Ajun. If you meet a few people, press a few times. If you meet a man, press it shorter. If you meet a woman, press it longer."
Watanabe Jun carefully touched the black bump on the sports watch, and then looked at Haruko's backpack.
"What else do you want?" Chunzi asked strangely.
"Isn't there a knife?" Watanabe Shun asked hopefully; "It is said that there are wolves here."
"Handsome boy, wolves are not scary until they are dangerous. You are too young to play with knives. Your task now is to look cool. When you run, the more handsome the better." Haruko smiled and pushed Watanabe Jun out of the tent.
Hiroshi Kawazaka on the roof of the villa saw the handsome figure of Toshi Watanabe, a young golfer.
There is a parking lot outside the south gate of the camp, with six off-road vehicles parked here and there, as well as some large machinery such as bulldozers and excavators.
Jun Watanabe walked through the parking lot, ran out of the desert camp with vigorous and slightly excited steps, and entered the botanical garden along the sidewalk.
Kawazaka Hiro had already seen the figure in the yellow cloak. As early as a year ago, when he was in Japan, he knew the power of this woman named Haruko and knew that she was Zhu Tong's friend, so Kawazaka Hiro chose to remain silent.
He was just a little curious, where did Chunzi come from? He didn't see any vehicles, and Chunzi didn't even have a guide. He just walked out of the red willow forest and appeared in the desert camp.
Kawazaka Hiroshi is not a very curious person. Like his master Hanami Nomura, he has inherited the fine tradition of being a hermit and only asks about the results and not the process. It’s okay, he is in the light and Haruko is in the dark.
; It can better ensure the safety of the lady.
However, Haruko didn't seem to intend to hide in the dark.
Ten minutes after Jun Watanabe ran out, Haruko left the tent and followed Jun Watanabe's footsteps out of the desert camp. When passing under the villa, she raised her hand and threw something towards Hiroshi Kawazaka.
"Keep this place safe. Whatever happens outside will have nothing to do with you."
Kawazaka Hiroshi played with the surveillance camera that Haruko threw to him. He could see everything that Watanabe Jun saw.
Haruko also disappeared into the red willow forest. Kawazaka Hiroshi watched for a while, and his attention was attracted by a string of camel bells coming from the direction of the red Gobi in the south. He stood up and looked far into the distance, but could not see anything.
Looking at his watch, it was 7:30, just one hour after receiving the call. In other words, even if Zhu Tong had a smooth journey, he would not arrive until 8:30.
It was also at this time that Jun Watanabe ran to the end of the botanical garden, and it was he who caused the string of camel bells.
The terrain at the intersection of desert and Gobi is strange and strange, and the commanding heights where Hiroshi Kawazaka is located have great restrictions.
For example, in the sand dune where Jun Watanabe stopped, there was a botanical garden on the north side of the dune, and a sand ditch on the south side. Watanabe Jun saw five camels lying in the sand ditch. Because of his appearance, the camels were alarmed and hung up.
The camel bell under his neck rang.
At this moment, a red sun burst out, and a faint mist steamed, vaguely enveloping Toshiro Watanabe in the upper halo.
There were also two tents in the sand ditch. Four monks in crimson robes were meditating. They looked up at Toshi Watanabe. They seemed to be wondering how such a handsome and sunny boy could appear in such a desolate world.
Watanabe Jun looked at them blankly. The monk's strangeness only lasted for a moment, and he immediately returned to the state of meditating with his eyes closed.
Sister Haruko said to look at people a few times when you meet them, but you can’t just keep looking. Jun Watanabe was a little overwhelmed, and then he remembered Sister Haruko’s words, and immediately pressed the bump on the sports watch, four times, short
short.
Then, Watanabe Jun pressed it again, long and hard.
He saw another person, a woman, a beautiful woman in a white robe, crept out of the tent and walked towards him with a smile.
"Little brother, what's your name?" The woman stopped one meter away from Jun Watanabe, holding a red gun in her hand and asked softly.
Watanabe Jun shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand. He really couldn't understand the other party's slightly stiff Chinese. Watanabe Jun could only understand Japanese, English, and some simple Chinese words.
The woman's eyes showed pity and she said dumbly: "You can't speak?"
Watanabe Jun looked at the woman's gesture blankly, and his eyes were attracted by a small red **. He saw a bright crescent moon among the red.
Suddenly, Toshi Watanabe fell into a dry, sultry, lifeless dark world. The fragments of time and space roared and impacted, causing his mind to lose focus, dizzy, and he fell into endless confusion.
"Bullying children?"
Lost for only a moment, Watanabe Jun was pulled out of the chaos by a warm hand.
"It's just a joke." The woman in white robe looked at Chunzi with slight surprise; "You are very good, but you are not my opponent yet."
"I know how powerful my sister is, and I don't want to be her opponent. It should have a name, right?" Haruko asked Watanabe Shun behind her, staring at the gun in the white-robed woman's hand;
The orchid is withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Crescent moon," said the woman in white robe.
"It sounds beautiful." Chun put the broken flower into his pocket, took out another one and handed it over; "This is for you."
"Flowers are more beautiful. I want to see Phoenix Fairy, please lead the way for me." The woman in white robe took the orchid and said with a smile.
Another camel bell sounded deep in the desert, and a dozen camels turned over the sand dunes and entered the sand ditch. On each camel was a monk wearing a crimson robe.
"I'm here to deliver flowers to the Living Buddha Qusangzhuom. Before I came, my eldest sister Liu Yilan gave me three dream orchids. One of them was eaten by your crescent moon. This one is for you, and
One..."
Another vermilion orchid appeared on Chunzi's fingertips. She opened her mouth and swallowed it, then asked: "Now, am I the opponent of Living Buddha Qusangzhuom?"
At the same time, Kawazaka Hiroshi immediately called Zhu Tong's mobile phone and told him about the situation encountered by Watanabe Jun.
Two young travelers walked out of the tent at the desert camp. They were not fellow travelers of the Duohua convoy, but came half an hour after they arrived at the desert camp. The two travelers seemed to have not yet woken up. They looked at the roof of the villa.
Hiroshi Kawazaka looked at Duohua and Miss Yukimi Ichi who were leaning out of the second floor window, and then retreated back into the tent.
Zhu Tong's motorcade had just driven off the road and was sprinting for the last thirteen kilometers. After receiving the call, Zhu Tong said to Major Niu: "There has been an accident there, I will go first."
Before he finished speaking, "Miracle Doctor Li Xiang" disappeared from Major Niu's side.
Looking at the car door that had not yet been closed, Major Niu believed Zhang Wei's words: This Mr. Li is indeed a master with no head or tail!
In the car behind, Ye'er felt Zhu Tong's action for the first time. She didn't have time to explain to Ouyang, so she opened the door and jumped out.
The vehicle is driving in the bumpy desert Gobi. Of course, it cannot be fast, but it cannot be considered slow either.
Ouyang watched blankly as Ye'er used her unexpected steps to catch up with a retreating figure. The two naturally held hands and quickly disappeared into the vast desert; she couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.
Zhu Tong, what method did you use to turn a delicate young lady from Shanghai into an extraordinary female knight-errant in just a few years!
