Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 39 Who are you?
As soon as we entered the tent, we knew why his face was so strange, because Yu Chengze was shrinking in the corner, looking at the group of blind men in horror, he seemed a little out of his mind.

The blind man was comforting Yu Chengze, but when he saw us coming in, he had a headache and said, "Old Yan, come here."

Lao Yan lit a little, and took two steps towards Yu Chengze's direction. The latter seemed to have seen some monster, and wished he could shrink himself into the ground.

"Professor Yu?" Lao Yan yelled, and then said with a smile: "It's boring if you do this, you haven't been crazy in the past five years."

Yu Chengze moved, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about, but Lao Yan didn't care, but said to himself: "Could it be that something happened to you after you entered the desert and drove you crazy? If so, blindly Xia, immediately contact the people above to pick us up, seeing Professor Yu like this, it is impossible not to go back sooner."

The blind man wanted to send a telegram as soon as he heard it, but now Yu Chengze couldn't sit still, and shouted directly: "I won't go back!"

Lao Yan nodded: "Professor Yu, we also know why you came here, and you also know what we do, why don't we cooperate? You see, if our people hadn't found you, you might have died in the In the desert."

I can't help but admire Lao Yan's appearance, we all know in our hearts that this Yu Chengze probably came to the door by himself, but now in Lao Yan's mouth, it has become us who saved him.

Yu Chengze hesitated, and finally nodded, but he still didn't want to talk, and he didn't like to contact people, presumably because he was afraid of showing his flaws.

Lao Yan didn't force him, he just smiled and said that in this case, Yu Chengze will lead the way!
However, Yu Chengze's body seems to be really weak. We stayed in the same place for two full days before he recovered. In these two days, except for eating, he was almost alone alone, and he didn't speak more than three sentences. The sentence is also when someone asks him if he needs anything, he simply hums.

"Can we leave today?" Lao Yan looked at Yu Chengze with a half-smile, and the latter nodded, but still didn't speak.

Lao Yan told us to pack our things, and followed Yu Chengze. I paid special attention to Yu Chengze's path, but found something strange: he left footprints as deep as ours!
I took a look at Lao Yan, he obviously noticed it too, and nodded without showing any signs.

Yu Chengze walked very fast, he didn't need to determine the direction at all, he just kept going forward, I pulled Lao Yan and deliberately fell behind, and asked in a low voice: "Is this route wrong?"

Lao Yan responded in a low voice, saying that the general direction was correct, but the road Yu Chengze chose was not the shortest.

"Let's see what he's going to do first." Lao Yan frowned.

"Lao Yan, hurry up!" The blind man shouted, Lao Yan and I looked up and found Yu Chengze in front of us staring at us, his eyes were very strange, as if he knew what we were thinking.

I touched the goosebumps on my arms, and Lao Yan and Lao Yan ran two steps quickly to keep up with the big team.

After walking for a long time, Yu Chengze finally stopped and pointed to a place: "Rest."

Lao Yan didn't object either, he sat on the hot sand with his eyes closed and rested, but I didn't have his indifference. Being with Yu Chengze always made me feel uncomfortable, so I walked around slowly, avoiding contact with him. Avoid contact with him.

But this turn really made me discover a problem - there is a piece of dead grass not far from us, but there are some new grasses under the dead grass...

I grabbed a handful of sand on the ground and found that there is actually a lot of water in the sand. If my guess is correct, this place should have been a small oasis.

"Old smoke!"

I yelled, Lao Yan looked at me inquiringly, and I told him the situation, he came over strangely, grabbed two handfuls, then pulled out a small grass and chewed it in his mouth: " It shouldn’t be, this place is full of water.”

The actions of the two of us also attracted the attention of other people, and they all gathered towards us, including Yu Chengze naturally.

I saw Yu Chengze squatting on the edge of this piece of withered grass, doing the same movements as Lao Yan, and after a while, he only said that the grass's ability to survive was not strong.

Lao Yan and I looked at each other, and obviously didn't take his answer seriously. How could something that can grow in the desert not have strong viability?

But we didn't say it, we just kept it in our hearts.

After resting for almost half an hour, we continued on the road. This time, Yu Chengze actually struck up a conversation with Lao Yan.

"You also entered the desert for the ancient country of Changye?" Yu Chengze looked at Lao Yan.

Lao Yan shook his head: "I'm here to find you, it would be best if you go back with me now."

Yu Chengze's face changed, and then he walked forward in silence, and Lao Yan followed with a sneer.

After walking for another two or three hours, I felt more and more wrong. Along the way, I encountered several waves of dead vegetation, and these vegetation were the same as the withered grass I saw before. Under them, there were some new vegetation.

Lao Yan asked Blind Man what he thought, and the latter only said that it was weird, but he couldn't say exactly why it was weird at the moment.

"Professor Yu, do you think this is a cactus?" Lao Yan suddenly called out as he passed by a dry cactus.

I don't know why, but when I saw the cactus, I was in a trance for a moment. It seemed that this kind of normal species should not appear in the weird desert in front of me...

I patted my head. I must have experienced too many weird things recently, so I came up with such an idea.

Just when I was speechless to myself, Yu Chengze nodded.

Lao Yan smashed his mouth and said that the vitality of the cactus is extremely tenacious, why did such a large area die?

Yu Chengze pinched the dry cactus, then looked up at us: "The moisture is emitted faster than absorbed."

"Really?" Lao Yan murmured in a low voice, then got up and said, "In that case, let's continue on our way."

After he finished speaking, he also took a look at Yu Chengze, but the latter obviously didn't pay attention and just led the way.

Lao Yan intentionally took a step behind and told me that the water loss of this thing is weird. Just now he found a strange smell on the cactus, and there are some shriveled seeds that do not belong to the cactus. Let me pay attention!
I nodded, and saw Lao Yan approaching the blind man again, probably warning him too.

"This is?"

I walked in silence for about an hour. When the evening approached, a forest appeared not far away, but the forest was made up of dead wood, which was exactly the same as some of the vegetation I saw earlier.

Yu Chengze turned his head and said that we have to go through this forest, and asked whether we should go now or rest overnight?
"Let's rest for one night. After all, no one knows what's in the woods. Besides, this place is just right for camping." Lao Yan looked around and suggested.

Yu Chengze didn't object, and everyone started to set up marching tents, and then took out dry food to fool around with dinner.

After dinner, Lao Yan began to talk to Yu Chengze with a cigarette in his mouth. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked what they encountered in the ancient country of Changye?
Yu Chengze obviously didn't want to deal with Lao Yan, and was about to withdraw after a few perfunctory words, but was stopped by the latter: "Professor Yu, you have to think about how you got here in the past five years."

Lao Yan's tone was threatening. In the past five years, Yu Chengze could be said to have lied to the country. Now another person came to the ancient country of Changye sneakily. If he was really caught back, it would not be a good end. If the real Yu Chengze would definitely have some scruples .

Sure enough, Yu Chengze's face changed, and then he said reluctantly: "I have encountered an unknown civilization..."

Lao Yan was obviously dissatisfied with such an answer, Yu Chengze smiled strangely and said: You will know when you see it, but it depends on luck to get there!
