167 Chapter 167 Searching

Wu Xie was a little helpless because he could eat dirt even while sleeping, so he thought of taking a few breaths of fresh air next to the sunken opening and sleeping in a place where he wouldn't eat dirt. To be honest, the dirt was really not very tasty.

Wu Xiejue's Tashi was not easy to get along with, but thinking about it, it was normal that he had always been wary of them. Such a large and well-equipped team would make people suspicious.But none of this matters.

Just as Wu Xie was about to walk over, he heard sounds outside and saw the light of a miner's lamp. He hurriedly asked Tashi, "What's going on outside?"

When Zhaxi saw Wu Xie coming, he handed him a local cigarette and said, "Miss Aning is back. The wind has calmed down outside. They asked people to go out to find others and check on the car."

Wu Xie said "Oh..." and said: "Car..." and couldn't help but sigh. This was also a problem that he had been worried about. These cars were very important, but he didn't know if they could still be driven after they were dug out. The Caucasian didn't know if he was back, so he put on his goggles, put on his cloak and walked out.

As soon as Wu Xie walked outside, he immediately showed a smile. The wind was indeed very small now, and there was almost no dust in the air. It was fresh again. Wu Xie reached out and pulled off the cloak on his body, and took a big breath. After a few breaths of the cool Gobi air, I immediately felt much more comfortable.

Soon, Wu Xie walked down in the direction of the miner's lamp and came to the direction of the river bed. He saw that they were checking a car that had sunk diagonally into the sand with only the front of the car exposed. Aning was holding a The radio was anxiously dialing the frequency.

Wu Xie asked them: "How is it?"

One person shook his head and said in a confused way: "The wife and the children are separated."

Wu Xie was confused when he heard this, so he looked at Aning and asked, "What?"

Aning looked at him and smiled reluctantly at him, walked over and explained to him: "Just now, Dingzhu Zhuoma said that the wind might rise again, and we must find a better shelter as soon as possible. But our cars are all We're trapped. Some of them must have been scrapped. I'm afraid the others can't be driven and need to be repaired." She paused. "The most troublesome thing is that four people are missing. They may have been lost when the wind started. Direction, we just searched around and couldn’t find it.”

Wu Xie asked: "Who are they?"

Aning sighed and said, "One is the Caucasian man, and there are three others I'm not familiar with."

Wu Xie hurriedly said: "The Caucasian was with me when he disappeared, in that direction." Then he pointed the direction to them and continued to ask: "Have you ever searched in that area?"

Aning nodded and said, "I've searched all around. These people must have gone further than I thought."

Wu Xie sighed and comforted her: "Don't be too anxious. These people have GPS, and the wind is so strong, they will definitely not be able to go far. There is still wind now, and the view is not very clear. Wait until dawn, and we will find it. It’s more convenient.”

Aning bit her lower lip and nodded, but her expression did not change. Wu Xiejue's situation didn't seem too optimistic.

They followed them and forced open some cars and took out the equipment inside.Wu Xie also discovered that the reason why the car got stuck in the river bed was not as simple as quicksand.

One person told him: "This situation is because the salt crust here has been crushed and we parked in the wrong place."

Wu Xie asked: "You said this is a salt crust land? It is a salt crust land formed by the condensation of salt-alkali deposits in the water after the lake water dries up."

The man said: "Well, there are a lot of salt crusts in many places under the Gobi. This is the river bed. When there was water before, the situation at the bottom of the river was very complicated, with a lot of sediment. After the drought, the salt crusts crystallized. It leaves a lot of gaps, so there are places in this riverbed that are like dry cheese and are not compressed."

Wu Xie had a question: "But we also walked along the river before, and we didn't see anything like this?"

The man smiled and replied: "The previous one has been dry for a long time, but now the river under our feet has been dry for at most half a year."

Wu Xie looked around and saw that there were almost no grass or shrubs. They were all bare, and even Haloxylon ammodendron did not grow. He understood immediately and nodded.

The man then said to Wu Xie: "We must be heading upstream of this river now. The end of this river must be a high mountain. If the river had not changed its course, there would definitely be an ancient city near such a river. Or ruins, this shows that the old Tibetan woman did not lead the way blindly. I thought this old woman was a liar a long time ago."

Wu Xie smiled. After hearing what he said, he felt that the huge black shadow he saw before was probably not his imagination.

That night, they found all the cars and retrieved all the luggage inside the cars and gathered them together.

With my little brother by my side, I can sleep soundly until dawn. When I opened my eyes, I slightly raised my head to look at him. This time I saw that my little brother still had his eyes closed and didn't look at me. Sure enough, this time He was exhausted, so he probably hadn't woken up yet.

At first, I wanted to wait for him to wake up naturally, so I didn’t dare to move in his arms.But after a while, I wanted to look at him again, so I raised my head slightly.

After the strong wind, the air here felt drier, so dry that it seemed like there was no humidity at all. He was busy again yesterday, and now his mouth was dry, peeling, and about to burst, so I was wondering if I should get some water to moisten him first.

I quietly sat up, and gently took out the water bottle from my bag, and also took out the small ointment stick and lip balm that my brother made with me.

First pour a little water into the cap of the small lipstick, use the tip of your right index finger to dip it into the water like a dragonfly, and then gently tap on his lips to moisturize his lips first, then put the small cap aside and take it I took off a small lipstick, twisted out a small section, gently pinched both sides of his lips with my left hand, and slightly separated his upper and lower lips. I pinched the lipstick stick with my right hand and started to apply it on him. I concentrated on applying it to him, with eyes Only his soft little lips.

The process of applying it is actually quite fast. After applying it, I released my left hand and looked at his moisturized skin, which was slightly rosier and glossy than his skin color. It was moderately wet and moist but moist. The elastic little lips, I thought to myself, my little brother’s little mouth is also so beautiful, I looked at it blankly for a while with a smile.

In fact, the little brother had already woken up, but he just kept his eyes closed.He realized that the little girl in his arms had woken up and was still moving but not speaking. He didn't know what she was doing, so he quietly squinted at her and tried not to let her notice.

I saw the little girl staring at his mouth, and then applied lipstick to him, but her own little mouth was so dry that it almost burst.I was looking at those pretty little lips with a smile when my brother suddenly reached out and held my right hand. I was stunned. He took the little lipstick from my hand. I asked in a low voice: "Are you awake? I'm noisy." Wake you up?"

He shook his head, looked down slightly at the small lid I put aside with an expressionless expression, then reached out and picked it up.

He first moistened my lips with water on his fingertips, put down the small cap, raised my chin slightly with his left hand, looked at my lips seriously, and then the small lipstick on his right hand fell on my lips. Apply it gently for me.

Although he kept an expressionless expression, I knew that he was treating me well and felt good in his heart.

After a while, my little mouth was also smeared. The little brother twisted the lipstick back and closed the cap. When he was handing it to me, the black blind man beside him said: "Hey, you are playing, it is all smeared." He smiled, stood up, and stretched.

The other people also woke up one after another, and Aning began to organize various tasks for them, repairing cars and finding people.

Wu Xie and several other people who were looking for the car at night also came back. After saying that the four people had not been found yet, they ate something and went back to their sleeping bags to catch up on their sleep.

The younger brother and Heixiazi planned to have something to eat and also went out to look for people.But I just put a little lipstick on him, so I reached out to take his food and said to him: "I just applied it, please leave it on for a while, otherwise it won't work anymore." I broke the food into small pieces. , stretched out his little arms, and put small pieces of food directly to his mouth and fed it to him. He obediently let me feed him with soft eyes.

The black blind man was eating and enjoying himself.

After eating and resting for a while, they were about to go out. I said to him, "I'll go with you."

But the little brother said: "The wind will blow up soon, it's too dangerous outside, you go with them." Then he touched the top of my head and said, "Be careful."

The black blind man said to me: "You are here as a family member, and they won't let you work, so don't run around and just wait."

I had no choice but to agree: "Okay."

For a period of time after that, I hid in the hollow, sat or lay down with nothing to do, and practiced my spiritual power by the way. After I finished practicing my spiritual power, I quietly read my notes, and then I also took a nap.

Wu Xie fell asleep and slept until the sunset.I woke up at this moment and sat there looking at him. Now the person I am most familiar with here is Wu Xie, but suddenly I remembered that the little brother didn’t let me come to him alone, but that was when they were having trouble. That said, can this be lifted?

After lying down for a long time, I wanted to get up and take a walk, so I went out with Wu Xie to take a look.

By now the wind had completely stopped and the dust was gone. I saw Aning’s people outside reloading their cars and all kinds of materials were being redistributed. I couldn’t help but say, “Have these cars been repaired? So fast. ah."

Aning looked tired, but she still smiled at me. I heard that she had not slept all day and night, and had been listening to the radio non-stop. The little brother and the black blind man had not come back yet, and they were still looking for the missing person. Those four people.

Wu Xie felt something was not good, because it had already been a day, and he became more and more worried and asked: "Isn't there a GPS? Is it really like what Tashi said, this thing doesn't work in the Gobi?"

Aning didn't reply, but it was obvious that she meant "yes". Her brows were furrowed, dark circles appeared under her eyes, and her face was extremely haggard.

Wu Xie took some dry food out of the bag and gave some to me. We were next to An Ning. I took some and handed it to her, but she didn't seem to have any appetite. She took it and put it beside her. He said to her: "Aning, you haven't rested or eaten. This won't work. You will collapse. Eat less." He picked it up and handed it to her. He looked at her sincerely and she smiled faintly. He nodded and ate the food obediently.

Wu Xie wanted to continue asking about the specific situation, but seeing that Aning had no intention of answering him, he kept using the walkie-talkie to talk to the person outside in English. I couldn't understand it anyway. Wu Xie listened cursorily, but judging from his expression, You know, it's obviously not good news.

Wu Xie asked her: "Do you want me to go out and look for it too?"

Aning shook his head and said: "No, we have already divided into three groups and are searching for the third time. It may not be useful if you go there. You guys need to clean up. Tashi and the others found a devil twenty kilometers ahead." City, let’s go there to rest later, it will be windy at night.”

Seeing how anxious she was, Wu Xie didn't want to bother her anymore and said, "Yeah, okay." Then he took me to see another group of people repairing the car, and Wu Xie also handed them tools.

More than half an hour later, Tashi suddenly came back from the riverbed in the distance and said to us: "The wind is going to blow again, and the sand line has already formed on the horizon ahead. We have to move quickly, otherwise the repair of the car will be in vain."

When I heard this, I wanted to leave...but the little brother hasn't come back yet...

Wu Xie saw that I was pouting and knew that I was thinking about my little brother. Men You Ping hadn’t come back yet, so he had to set off again. Sister Xiao Xun must have felt uneasy. In his impression, Xiao Xun was just like Men. The oil bottle was inseparable, always held in his hand, and he would never leave her alone.

The few times Xiaoxun fell into the situation were almost always with him, and each time it was quite dangerous. This time, she had to be protected, so she said to me gently: "Let's go, let's prepare things, Menyou Ping and others will take care of it." I'll find you when we're done, don't worry." I looked at him and nodded, and he took me to get ready.

After a while we were ready. There were fewer cars, so we shared a car with a few Tibetans and set off towards the place where the sun was setting. Those cars that had not been repaired were dragged behind.

When we got in the car, Wu Xie asked me to lean on his shoulder because he was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable.

The car drove for about 10 minutes. Under the setting sun, there were stone mountains rising from the ground. Tashi's voice came from the intercom. He guided us and adjusted the direction. Soon we saw a huge "castle" ", appears in view.
