Chapter 233

So I walked until night.

The night in the desert is not dark, the stars are very bright, and the sand seems to reflect light. You can almost see who is who.

So they also hurried some way after dark and didn't stop to have a rest until about ten o'clock in the evening.

Or set up a tent, pick up some firewood prepared in advance, sit down, drink some water and eat some dry food.

The desert is too dry. I don't have a good appetite. I just want to drink water, but I can't drink too much water. I should keep it so that I won't have water on the way.

Everyone sits together. Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu sit next to each other. Ye Xiaoxian is used to taking care of everyone's emotions, so as long as she sits down, she will observe people.

Somehow, she always felt that old man Ji's eyes were strange.

When she was looking at him, he was also looking at her, with a trace of greed in his eyes.

But he soon turned his eyes away. Ye Xiaoxian couldn't guess what he was thinking.

Doriku said that old man Ji is very familiar with the road conditions. Now they need old man Ji to lead the way, so they should trust them at present.

It was night. They sent four people to watch the night. They were in a group of two. Wang Wen and Xiao Tieshu were in the first half of the night, Wang Wu and doriku were in the second half of the night, and the rest could have a good sleep.

Ye Xiaoxian and Xiao Baozhu have a tent. They are very close. In addition to being a little cold at night, but also because the desert space is too open and mysterious, it always makes people feel that there seems to be something looking at them, maybe gods, ghosts, or something unknown in the desert.

Moreover, ye Xiaoxian occasionally thinks of the decryption columns she has seen on TV, such as when the ancient city was found in the desert, who found the ancient tomb in the desert, and some people disappeared in the desert. At the beginning, they can't find it, but after a period of time, a mummy will emerge.

She also heard that sand dunes will move at night, forming a phenomenon of ghosts hitting the wall, which makes you linger in place all the time.

These words Ye Xiaoxian wants to talk to Xiao Baozhu, but she is worried that Xiao Baozhu is afraid, so she doesn't say them.

After a sleepy night, when I opened my eyes again, it was dawn.

Keep going.

……

Although the journey was miserable, all the things ye Xiaoxian worried about did not appear.

Although all she sees along the way is sand, she will observe carefully. For example, by paying attention to the ripple direction of sand dunes, she can know where the leeward area is and where the windward area is.

A small piece of green plants occasionally appear in the desert. These places should have groundwater, which can be dug as long as they are dug deeply.

In addition, she found that when old man Ji was on his way at night, he would look at the stars from time to time. The Polaris was fixed, and there were some constellations, which she had learned at school before. She could identify the direction through the direction of the stars, so as not to go wrong.

It's better to know the way during the day. As long as there is the sun, you can go east, West, North and south.

She also found that the distribution of sand is also regular. The sand in the leeward area is relatively soft, and the camel will step deep into it. The windward area is relatively hard. If it is in the leeward area, old man Ji will take them around for a while.

If you encounter sand dunes ahead, you usually have to detour and can't step directly on the sand dunes, which is easy to cause accidents.

Ye Xiaoxian wants to prove her judgment, so she will ask old man Ji during her break. But old man Ji is completely unwilling to teach.

Also, what can I teach her about what people have finally summed up?

After teaching her, won't they ask him to lead the way next time?

Well, ye Xiaoxian should pay more attention to herself.

……

After walking for 17 days, they finally reached beihui county.

Beihui county is very close to the capital. A boss Li Chengru knew opened a business here, so they set their destination here.

Wang Wen and Wang Wu knew the boss of the firm. They called him boss CAI. When boss Cai heard that he was introduced by Li Chengru, he looked very enthusiastic. He asked them to sit down and drink water while arranging for the guys in the firm to unload.

When unloading, they also looked very careful. Almost Ye Xiaoxian took all the things they transported, and took old man Ji's things at the same time.

The others were very tired, but old man Keji was still energetic. When others rested, he went to get close to boss CAI.

Boss Cai responded enthusiastically when he saw that they were together.

And ye Xiaoxian was very tired at this time. She really didn't want to care so much. She just wanted to drink water and eat a good meal.

Beihui county is close to the capital. It is much more prosperous than Qinghe County. There are snacks from all over the city, wonton, dumpling noodles and all kinds of small cakes and snacks in the south.

Ye Xiaoxian invited everyone to eat wonton. The aroma of pork was mixed with sweet soup. It was hot in her stomach, which finally made up for the emptiness of eating cold Nang in the desert these days.

At night, they lived in an inn arranged by boss CAI. They had one room. Ye Xiaoxian felt it was difficult to return to the Central Plains. In addition, the North society was prosperous, so she took Xiao Baozhu to the night market and bought some things for her family.

Xiao Baozhu has been sighing since she came to beihui: "sister-in-law, I didn't expect that beihui city is so big. There are so many people at night. There are much more things here than Qinghe County."

Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "then make money with your sister-in-law. If you make money, let's go to the capital. The capital is even more prosperous than here. Maybe you won't go back then."

"Well, I must work hard to see the world with my sister-in-law. By the way, I will bring my mother and Baofeng in the future." Xiao Baozhu road.

But after saying this, Xiao Baozhu asked Ye Xiaoxian, "sister-in-law, will you marry? If you marry, I can't call you sister-in-law."

"Not that interested." Ye Xiaoxian said, "why do good people marry? They have to serve people and have children. How can they get the energy to make money? Besides, you can't find a better person than your brother."

Ye Xiaoxian whispered the last sentence.

These days, she has carefully analyzed the matter of xiaobaoshan.

He is so honest and a general, and he has always been good to her and a little dull. He gave her a divorce so as not to disturb her.

Sometimes when you think about him, you will miss him more and more.

It's a pity that she realized it too late. It's a pity that the time they spent together is too short. They haven't felt love well, so he can't come back.

Ye Xiaoxian was lost when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder and said, "so you're here?"

Turning around, I saw doriku standing behind her happily.

"Why did you come out?" Ye Xiaoxian asked in surprise. At the same time, she put an agate necklace in her hand back to the booth in front of her.

"I heard you came out. I'm just idle. I'll come out and have a look." Doriku happened to see the agate necklace.
