There is an inn in the sky

Chapter 44 That's Not a Mirage

at dusk.

Li Ning (nìng, meaning peace, stability) with his newly recovered strength, worked hard to slowly climb up the sand dune, his eyes fixed on Yan Qingkong who was gradually going away.

At this time, she was a little worried that the other party would never return.

If this is the case, then oneself and others can only be buried in the sea of ​​sand.

In the desert, when people are extremely dehydrated, they are very prone to hallucinations, leading to confusion...

She had seen it before, an ancient inn floating above the sea of ​​sand.

And at that time, she was already unconscious, and she chased after the mirage in a daze, and then rolled down from the sand dune.

When she woke up, a man was giving her water...

But at this moment, she was stunned for a moment, unexpectedly, the mirage was still there, floating in the sand dunes in the distance, although only the upper part was exposed...

She shook her head, not thinking about the mirage.

Who is he?
Li Ning became very curious, this man is really too mysterious.

In this desert known as the "Sea of ​​Death", that man is not only dressed in leisurely clothes, but also wearing a pair of leather shoes, holding a glass of water in his hand...

No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.

And, where does he get water here?
She is very sure that this is deep in the desert, not a place where people live on the edge of the desert. Where can I get water?
Out of curiosity, she followed along on the top of the dune.

It's just that it didn't take long before the opponent's figure disappeared, as if blocked by the sand dunes in the distance.

At this time, she saw that there was still a mirage floating, and there were faint lights coming out, which made her stunned.

Do mirages have lights?
This seems impossible, right?
When the man appeared again, he was already carrying something on his shoulders, but the distance was a little far away, and the sky was so dark that she couldn't see clearly at all.

However, she was relieved to see the man appearing again.

When she got closer, she finally saw clearly, but was also stunned.

Because on the man's shoulders, it seems to be carrying a bottle of water...

Yes, it is indeed bottled water.

Therefore, Li Ning was stunned on the spot, staring blankly at the bottled water, until Yan Qingkong approached, there was no reaction.

"Cup, take it."

Seeing the other party in a daze, Yan Qingkong handed over the previous cup.

Li Ning immediately woke up and said in shock, "Where did this water come from?"

"Do you see it?"

Yan Qingkong pointed to the distance, only a section of the Longevity Inn was revealed.

"A mirage?" Li Ning asked in amazement.

"Huh, can you see it?" Yan Qingkong was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she was a destined person. No wonder the Longevity Inn came to the desert.

"See."

Li Ning tried his best to nod, and then he was a little puzzled and said, "But, that's a mirage, you..."

"Who told you it was a mirage?"

Yan Qingkong smiled, carefully poured a glass of water, and said, "Drink."

"Grumbling."

At this time, Li Ning poured it out, feeling very happy.

She drank three cups in a row, and did not stop until she couldn't drink any more. She said excitedly, "Thank you."

"Where are your friends?" Yan Qingkong asked.

"It should be there."

Li Ning hesitated and said, not sure.

After all, after she came out to find water, she fell into a daze for a while and didn't remember too much.

"Let's go then."

Yan Qingkong carried the water on his shoulders and said, "You lead the way."

"Excuse me, what is your name, sir?" Li Ning asked as he walked. After all, he is a great benefactor, and he didn't even know his name, so he couldn't justify it.

"No expense, Yan." Yan Qingkong said.

"Mr. Yan, what did you mean just now?" Li Ning asked suspiciously, "It's that mirage, isn't that a mirage?"

"Since you can see it, it's considered a predestined relationship, so it's okay to tell you." Yan Qingkong pondered for a while, and said, "That's not a mirage, do you understand?"

At this time, Li Ning was stunned again, looked back at the Longevity Inn, and said, "It's not a mirage, what is that? How is this possible?"

"Inn." Yan Qingkong said.

"Inn?"

Li Ning couldn't figure it out, it did look like an inn, but why wasn't it a mirage?Did I remember wrongly, this is already the edge of the desert?
"By the way, my inn will be there tonight. If you are hungry, you can go." Yan Qingkong thought for a while, and simply reminded him.

"thanks, I will."

Li Ning nodded. If he wasn't in a hurry to ask for a friend, he might be impatient now.

"By the way, I would like to remind you that my inn only accepts people who are predestined." Yan Qingkong simply did his best to prevent the other party from leaking the news to others.

"What do you mean by predestined relationship?" Li Ning asked.

"Whoever sees my inn can be considered a destined person." Yan Qingkong said.

Before I knew it, the sky was completely dark. Fortunately, the moon came out early, and the desert was still relatively bright, otherwise it would be difficult to move an inch.

On the way, Yan Qingkong followed Li Ning for several kilometers, and finally found her friend.

In a sandy valley, there were several men and women lying lifeless. Li Ning saw them and ran up to check their breath one by one.

I was finally relieved to find that no one died.

At this time, Yan Qingkong poured out a glass of water and poured some water into everyone one by one.

After a while, someone woke up Yoyo, but his mind was still a little blurry, and he kept yelling "Shui Shuishui".

Yan Qingkong poured another glass of water.

"Where's Chen Zhan?"

Li Ning found that one person was missing, so he hurriedly asked.

"You went to find water, and he followed..." A man said weakly, he couldn't see clearly at all, but he said happily, "Li Ning, it's good that you're fine, it's good..."

"Mr. Yan, please help me find it."

Li Ning pleaded that her current physical strength is not enough to support her to search.

"Okay, take care of them." Yan Qingkong nodded and started searching around. After searching for a few kilometers, he finally saw a man in a sandy valley.

This man looks about 25 and six, with a cropped cut.

"Shuishui..."

The man felt that someone was flipping him, so he muttered deliriously.

But at this moment, Yan Qingkong didn't have any water in his hands, so he could only walk back with his back on his back.

Fortunately, during this period of time, he ate a lot of pies and smiled, his body improved a lot, and he became stronger unconsciously, otherwise he would not be able to recite a few meters at all.

This man doesn't seem to be big, and his figure is a little thin, but he is very heavy, at least 180 Jin.

"Damn, dead again."

Yan Qingkong was so tired that he was out of breath, and walked back step by step.

When Li Ning vaguely saw Yan Qingkong coming back alone on the sand dunes in the distance, he hurriedly shouted.

When he returned to the sand valley, he found that two or three people had already woken up.

"Chen Zhan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ning came up and shouted, his expression extremely anxious.

"Although he's not dead yet, he's about to die." Yan Qingkong put down the man, panting from exhaustion, "Give some water first, and if you're lucky, you should be able to come back to life."

Li Ning quickly poured water.

Yan Qingkong quickly recovered. Looking at the crowd of people, none of them died, and couldn't help but wonder.

In such a severe dehydration situation, it is really fate that no one is dead.
