I heard you like me

Chapter 243 She Is Calling Me

Every second of time, the deeper the desert, the more intense this doubt...

But every time this thought comes up, it feels like the pain of the world collapsing. I can only force myself to brainwash myself with one sentence: she is not dead!She must be alive!must!
As Uncle Tian said, this is really not a good weather to enter the desert.The sky was full of sand and dust, without stopping for a moment. Their car was covered by yellow sand, and their visibility was almost zero. If he drove by himself, he might not be able to move a single step...

Just like that, I don’t know where the road ahead is. After driving for several hours, the car has overturned and the engine has been turned off. Fortunately, Uncle Tian is indeed experienced and has overcome all kinds of difficulties one by one. Ning Zhiqian imparted experience.

"You have to remember that the sun, the moon, and the stars are the only ones that will never change. They are our only directions. The compass will shift when it encounters a magnetic field. The GPS thing does not belong to my era. If I want to wait for it to come out, I have no idea. How many times have I died in the desert! The ancients walked the Silk Road, and the monk Tang went west to learn scriptures. How can there be GPS navigation? What is it? In addition to luck and wisdom. Our family has walked this road for generations, and we can basically master it. What a temper, young man, this season is not suitable for walking. I am 80.00% sure that we will not be able to make it, and what if we make it? It’s been a night, did she bring food? Did she bring water? Even if there is food and drink, the night is so cold, it is freezing..."

"Uncle!" He didn't want to hear that word!He understands everything the uncle said!He knew she probably had no water to drink!No food!Also know that she can't resist the desert cold at night!However, he just didn't want to listen!As long as no one reminds him!He can assume that everything is fine with her!She must be fine!
Uncle Tian glanced at him, and continued to teach him how to identify in the desert, "In short, only the sun does not lie, but the orbit of the sun is different in different seasons, which requires long-term accumulation of experience. Use the moon to locate at night, remember First quarter moon and last quarter moon. Of course, where you are is also very important, the sun and moon in Beijing and Xinjiang must be different..."

Ning Zhiqian and Ruan Liuzheng talked on the phone, and often said that what we see is the same moon, so even if we are on two sides of the earth, we are still very close.He had a smooth life and only now would he think that the only sun in the solar system is different from the moon.

He was originally a top student in science. He could easily understand what Uncle Tian said, and he was also interested in discussing this issue with him. After all, he was going to go deep into the desert to save his wife. It would be good to have an extra skill, "Uncle , I understand that the sun is different in different time zones and different latitudes, uncle, can you explain it to me?"

Uncle Tian nodded, "You are all educated people, it's easy to learn, I'm a native, and I don't know the time zone and latitude." Even if he told him without reservation about how to argue the direction in the desert, he still Show him a picture that I have drawn all my life, and combine it with the picture to describe this desert to him.

Ning Zhiqian listened and had to admire Uncle Tian.

Uncle Tian didn’t study much and didn’t understand scientific principles, but what he was taught included the application of advanced mathematics, geography, and physics. These were not learned from textbooks, but the wisdom and experience of the uncle and his ancestors from generation to generation. crystallization.

It is not difficult for Ning Zhiqian to master these principles, but it is not so easy to actually apply them. When Uncle Tian was driving, he slowly studied the diagrams. Not so tormented anymore.

However, things never go smoothly.

As the weather got worse, Uncle Tian's face became extremely serious, and he drove slowly and with difficulty.

"Young man, I think we have to..." Before he could finish his sentence, the wind and sand were blowing violently, and the yellow sand billowed fiercely from the sky and the earth, like a huge monster that was as wide as the sky and the earth, with its mouth wide open. , to devour them.

There is no room for people to think at all. The off-road vehicle was overturned, rolled up, and then thrown down heavily. The car could no longer move forward normally, and was pushed in the opposite direction by quicksand. Buried in yellow sand.

He and Uncle Tian climbed out of the car. After the wind and sand, the off-road vehicle was buried in the sand and could not be pushed out.

Uncle Tian tried to start the car standing outside, but the car would not start anyway.

"Young man, we have to go home." Uncle Tian said cautiously.

Ning Zhiqian didn't believe this evil, took Uncle Tian's seat and continued to start, but the car in the sand still didn't respond...

"Let's go! Young man! Go back!" Uncle Tian moved all the equipment out of the car.

Ning Zhiqian didn't say a word, but squinted his eyes, looking in the direction they were going.

"Boy! Boy!"

The uncle called him several times, but he didn't respond, as if his soul had come out of his body and went with the person he was dreaming of.

"Young man! Let's go!" The uncle gave him a hand and picked up the luggage on the ground.

At this moment, he suddenly realized, looking at Uncle Tian, ​​his eyes were bright and firm like never before, "Uncle, thank you for accompanying me here! Goodbye!"

"What... what?" The uncle was shocked, "You mean...?"

"Uncle, I still have to keep going!" He patted the sand on his body, but it was covered with new sand in an instant.

"Are... are you crazy? You go on foot? Your life will be gone before you get there!" The uncle came to pull him anxiously, "Young man, listen to me! There are people in charge of rescue here Help! If they can't find it, how can you find it? Be sensible!"

He also told himself to be rational, but at this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, even if the bones were buried in yellow sand, so what?

"Uncle, I didn't question the ability of the rescue team. I just had a feeling that she was calling me, calling me desperately. Every time she encountered unhappy things, I could appear by her side. This time, I Can't let her down. Uncle, she didn't see me, she will cry, she will..." The picture of her awakened by a nightmare at two o'clock in the morning appeared in front of his eyes. In the video, she cried like a child ...

Uncle Tian looked at him blankly, "But I..."

"Uncle." He stopped Uncle Tian from continuing, "I understand, I'll go by myself, thank you for your hard work, I can't let you take risks again, you can go back."

"Then...then how are you going to go? Are you walking?" The uncle looked at the young man and his voice became hoarse.

"Actually, I don't know..." There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but more firmness, "But I know, every step I take, I'm one step closer to her."

Uncle Tian sighed deeply, and handed the bag to him, "Here are sleeping bags, dry food, water, flashlights and lighters and other small things. You put away the picture I gave you." After a moment of silence, he said, "Good luck." However, based on his experience, there are really not many chances of good luck.

"Uncle, then you..." Going back to Shan County this time is also a long journey in yellow sand. Uncle gave him everything, what should I do?
Uncle Tian shook his head, "I'm fine, I can walk back! You're on your way!"

Then the heavy backpack that the uncle gave him was carried on his shoulders, "Thank you, uncle."

Uncle Tian waved his hand, "Let's go!"

One person, one backpack, one picture, just set out on the road.The yellow sand was blowing so hard that he could barely open his eyes, he still took the map that Uncle Tian had left him, and followed the method Uncle Tian taught to identify, calculate, and compare.Although it is jerky, it is also extremely meticulous and dare not be careless.

Dimly, I saw the faint shadow ahead, and heard the high or low sound of camel bells.

He went in the direction of the sound, but what he saw was a lone camel, and he didn't know how it would appear here, but, no matter what, it was a good thing for him.

He had never tamed a camel before, and after a lot of effort, he couldn't ride it in the direction he wanted. Finally, he simply led it on foot, and didn't ride it until he became familiar with it for a while.

It's been a really tough and long journey.

I started walking alone from noon until dark, but I didn't find any signs.

Since the morning, he has not had enough rice, and he has never drank any water. He does not feel hungry, but he is very thirsty. His lips are dry and cracked, and his nose is dry and uncomfortable, but he has never opened his backpack to take a sip of water.Everyone knows that in this desert, water is a life-saving treasure, but who knows when this search will end?How dare he drink a little water by himself before finding her?
Looking around the desert gradually shrouded in darkness, there is still no hope...

The night is falling again...

The temperature is also surprisingly low.

Ruan Liuzheng huddled in the sand, only feeling cold.

She had spent the night in the desert and woke up this morning.

When she woke up, there was no one around, only sand, and she was buried in the sand.

She probably still remembered what happened before. It was dark when she passed out, and it was already bright when she woke up.

She didn't know where she was, or where the person in the car with her went, and even the car disappeared without a trace.

How terrible the desert is, she knows now, maybe they have been rescued, maybe they were buried together with the car.All the supplies were in the car, and she was all alone, with no water or food, and she didn't know what to do with herself.

She tried to stand up, but her whole body was in pain like she was falling apart, she was dizzy, and her forehead was so painful that it was about to explode.Her mouth was very dry. She wanted to lick her lips to moisten them, but she didn't dare, for fear that the more she licked her lips, the more dry they would become.

She wondered if she should go back.

However, if you look far away, what you see is not only yellow sand, but also yellow sand...

Every direction is the same scene, without any signs and hints.
