Hello 1983

  Chapter 1078 May your dreams come true

   Jingle bell, jingle bell...

  The sound of camel bells breaks the tranquility of the desert.

  The expedition team organized by Liu Qingshan is walking through the long yellow sand.

  The scorching sun above the head seemed to be on fire; the sand grains on the ground were scorching hot, like a huge drying field.

  More than a dozen camels lined up, all loaded with various supplies, marched unhurriedly, as if they had passed through thousands of years.

  Among the team, only two elderly scholars, including Xiaoliuzi and Mr. Lu, rode on camels, while the others were measuring the desert with their own feet.

  Although their equipment was good, the ubiquitous sand still got into their boots, grinding the soles of their feet into blisters.

   "Take a break and get hydrated."

  Liu Shiquan looked up at the sun, then shouted.

   Everyone took off their headscarves one after another, each of them took a water bottle, and poured it into their mouths vigorously.

   "Drink less, the hard times are still behind." The guide of the camel team urged.

   "Smoke is coming out of my throat." A scholar muttered, walking in the desert is really a torment.

  At this time, Little Six got off the camel, holding a small bottle in his hand: "Come on, everyone take a pill, just put it under your tongue and keep it in your mouth."

   "What is it, a human pill?" Everyone took a dark red pill, which was larger than a soybean grain, so naturally it was bigger than a human pill.

  Liu Qingshan and the others happily threw the pills into their mouths.

  Once others saw it, they did so.

  Mr. Lu stuffed the pill into his mouth suspiciously, and put it under his tongue. He suddenly felt a coolness emanating from the bottom of his tongue, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

   Immediately, I felt my tongue was saliva, and the feeling of thirst disappeared immediately.

  The little girl still has some skills, the stubborn Mr. Lu praised in his heart.

   After eating something and resting for a while, the team continued on.

  Xiao Liuzi gave out a pill from time to time, and everyone didn't feel so hard. They walked until evening and were at the foot of a sandy mountain, preparing to camp.

  Several big tents are propped up, just drink water, eat some dry pancakes and jerky, as for lighting a fire and cooking, don’t even think about it.

  Liu Qingshan was well prepared, opened a few cans of fish meat, took out two bottles of Laobaigan, and took two sips to relieve fatigue if he could drink.

  The big camel that Xiaoliuzi rides on has developed feelings for her, and puts his long face close to her.

  Xiao Liuzi cheerfully stuffed a piece of biscuit into its mouth, and the biscuit chewed quite deliciously.

  Wait until the sun goes down, the temperature also drops sharply, everyone puts on down jackets, gets into the tent, and seizes the time to rest.

  Traveling for a day, both legs are like lead, and the blisters on the feet also need to be dealt with.

  The locals who often trek in the desert, of course, have nothing to do, mainly those experts, with thin skin and tender meat.

  Xiao Liuzi brought medicine powder and sprinkled some medicine powder on everyone's wounds, and the pain stopped immediately.

  Fatty Jin was also full of praise: "Liu Zi, this trip is thanks to you!"

  Mr. Lu also rubbed his feet lightly, kept smiling and nodding, and now he has completely accepted the existence of this little one.

   Sleeping until midnight, many people woke up from the cold. Fortunately, Liu Qingshan prepared blankets for everyone according to Liu Shiquan's request.

   So they were all wrapped up tightly again, barely able to resist the severe cold.

  In this place, the temperature difference between day and night is large, but in the desert, it becomes more obvious.

  Because of this, the small berries and grapes produced are of high quality.

  Actually, Liu Qingshan thinks that growing watermelons here is also very suitable.

  There is a saying in the frontier: Wear a leather jacket in the morning and wear gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon by the stove. It is similar here.

  Waitmelons only have a short shelf life and are not very convenient for transportation. After the road network is connected in the future, you can try it.

   As soon as it was dawn, Liu Qingshan woke up habitually, but there was no way to do morning exercises in this desert, so he didn't get up either.

   "Ah, help!" Suddenly, a scream sounded in the dawn.

  Liu Qingshan quickly got out of the tent and ran over.

  Li Tie and Li Tieniu, who slept in the same tent, followed closely behind.

  Going around the two tents, they came to the tent where Mr. Lu and Fatty Jin lived. The tent was a mess.

   With a flash of cold light, a black snake crawling on the ground was cut off by Li Tie.

  Liu Qingshan opened the tent: "Who was bitten by a snake?"

   "It's Mr. Lu." Fatty Jin's voice came from the tent.

   Waiting for Liu Qingshan, who was sleeping drowsily, to be hugged by Liu Qingshan, and he heard that someone was bitten by a snake, and Xiao Liuzi suddenly regained his energy.

   Check the dead snake first, she has never seen it before, ask Liu Shiquan and the people in the camel team, they say it is a common poisonous snake in the desert.

  Although the toxicity is not very high, the bite wound is unwilling to heal, which is also very troublesome.

   Not a deadly venomous snake.

   Liu Qingshan also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This is an investigation organized by him. If there is an accident, he will definitely feel sorry.

   "Grandpa Lu, it's okay. I have snake medicine here. As long as it's not the most poisonous ones, it's definitely fine. It's like being bitten by a mosquito, and nothing will happen."

  Xiao Liuzi comforted Mr. Lu while treating the wound.

  Mr. Lu has calmed down a long time ago, and nodded cheerfully: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

  Xiao Liuzi didn't exaggerate. When he was having breakfast, Mr. Lu's wound was only a little red and swollen, nothing serious.

   Needless to say, Liu Shiquan was naturally convinced by Little Six.

  Even the two locals in the camel caravan showed special respect for Little Six. One of them even asked Little Six for some snake medicine.

  In the desert, there is a large temperature difference between day and night. At night, if the temperature is not enough, snakes will come to people to keep warm, and it is not uncommon to be bitten.

   Pack your bags and continue on the road.

  After the freshness of the first day, the journey became long and tormented.

  In sight, there is always monotonous yellow sand, and everyone's senses and spirits seem to be numb.

  If it weren't for the sound of camel bells, I would have thought that time and space had frozen.

   "Brother, sing a song?" Little Six couldn't bear it.

   "Okay, you start with a song." Liu Qingshan also felt that the atmosphere in the team was too depressing and really needed to be active.

  Xiao Liuzi was not stage-frightened, and sang a nursery rhyme, and everyone applauded her as they walked.

   Not to mention, listening to the crisp and clear voice of the little guy, I feel as if I have come to life.

   "Brother, it's your turn. Sing a new song for a change." Little Six knows that Liu Qingshan's singing ability is average, but he is good at writing songs.

  Liu Qingshan also nodded with a smile: "I wanted to sing another song, Passionate Desert!"

   This song was very popular two years ago, and everyone laughed when they heard it: No, let’s change to another song, this is enough enthusiasm.

  Liu Qingshan continued: "In the desert, I thought of the ancient country of Loulan in history, and now it is also buried in yellow sand, so I will sing a song about my Loulan."

  Accompanied by the melodious sound of camel bells, Liu Qingshan’s high-pitched singing sounded:

   "Ask in detail which curve the desert borrows, and sew a cloak to protect you from the cold"

   "Touch your soul with your heart, and I will sit by that fire to keep warm..."

  The singing sound drifted along with the long yellow sand and drifted into everyone's heart. Everyone was deeply moved in the desert.

   "You always put the silver hairpin on the sun casually, and the radiance fluffs up the waves of your long hair,"

   "I smell the fragrance and trek infinitely, just to see your face clearly..."

  Everyone feels very novel about this style of songs, but accompanied by Liu Qingshan's bold and unrestrained singing, everyone suddenly feels full of strength.

   That is a kind of power to pursue, not only the beauty of Loulan, but also her own career and ideals.

   "Whoever bathes in the Shahe River with the beauty is the sky and the earth, and whoever sleeps with the beauty in the sunset will be drunk for two thousand years,"

   "Never said that you are my dust, but you are my Loulan..."

  Liu Qingshan’s voice pierced through the sky, and everyone felt goosebumps, and the fatigue and numbness of the journey completely dissipated.

   After the song was over, the whole team came back to life again.

   "Okay, it seems to be about the pursuit of beauty, but it is actually the pursuit of ideals and beliefs, which is quite ancient!" Even Mr. Lu praised it.

  He specializes in the study of ancient characters, of course he knows that in ancient times, beauties were often used to describe Gao Jie's ambitions.

   "After listening to this song, I really want to go to the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom for scientific research." Fatty Jin also muttered.

  Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "Then maybe you can really dig out a Loulan beauty from two thousand years ago."

   "Okay, then I will sleep with the beauty in the sunset and get drunk for two thousand years." Fatty Jin laughed and started talking nonsense.

   "May your dreams come true." Liu Qingshan also sent his sincere wishes.

  Frightened, Fatty Jin waved his hands again and again: "Don't, don't, sleep with the mummy in your arms, then I won't have nightmares every night."

   With Liu Qingshan leading the atmosphere, the journey became less difficult.

  After traveling for more than three days, I finally saw the outline of an ancient city in front of me, and that was the destination, Heishui City.

  Standing here, you can feel the ruthlessness and changes of the years. Compared with the long years, life is like a grain of sand in the desert...

  Heishui City was completely destroyed a long time ago, and what remains are only some ancient pagodas, in the wind and sand, telling the glory experienced here in the past.

   "Let's camp here." Liu Shiquan found a leeward place and prepared to set up camp.

   "There seems to be someone over there!" Liu Qingshan had excellent eyesight, and saw that there seemed to be someone moving under an abandoned ancient pagoda in the distance.

  Liu Shiquan blinked his eyes twice: "Could it be that I met a colleague?"

  Although Blackwater City has been robbed many times, there are always people who are unwilling to give up and want to come here to try their luck.

   And such a place, the country is temporarily unable to take care of it.

   "Tie Zi, Tie Niu, let's go and have a look." Liu Qingshan waved his hand, and decided to go and have a look to avoid any potential safety hazards.

  Liu Shiquan also took the initiative to invite Ying: "I will go too."

   Liu Qingshan thinks it's good, in case Liu Shiquan and the other party still know each other.

   So the four of them changed to four camels and rushed over there.
