After dinner, it was past five o'clock.

Zhou left the car and headed for Mingsha Mountain.

Huai Xu sat on the passenger seat and turned his head to glance at the surrounding city towers and every car passing by.

From time to time, a picture appears before my eyes, blurry and intertwined with reality.

In the picture, there is a small border town built in the desert. There are no tall buildings blocking the view in the small town. It is easy to see the sandy mountains in the distance. When the wind blows, the sky is covered with yellow sand, and the ground is full of feces of horses, sheep, camels, and camels. People are wearing ancient costumes and their faces are tanned.

red light.

Zhou Li stopped.

Huai Xu whispered: "This place is completely different from Dunhuang before. It used to be very dirty and messy. Now it can't even see a leaf on the ground. But the magical thing is that we didn't feel annoyed when we were walking on the road. If we were to put it until now, I couldn't even put it."

"You are a city demon now, it's different."

"Yes."

"Can you still find the feeling you used to?"

“It’s totally impossible to find.”

"I just dreamed that you stole a chicken."

"Um?"

"Actually, I remember the content in the dream, but it was not very auspicious and vague." Zhou Li said, "Anyway, you disappeared in the end, and I was a little sad."

“Some.”

“It’s very sad.”

"What is it like? Tell me quickly."

"Didi!"

Two loud horns came from behind, urging them.

Zhou Li then saw that the green light was already on, so he started and moved to the right and walked and said, "I dreamed of stealing chickens, dreamed of fighting, dreamed of gambling, that's what you talked about these days. The final picture is that you stand on the Gobi Desert, with corpses of people and demons around you. The Gobi Desert is flat at a high glance, and when you look closely, it also has ups and downs, and then it moves, like waves, and then time passes so fast, changing the world, and you are as weathered as Yumen Pass and Yang Pass, and buried underground by wind and sand."

"..." Huai Xu clenched his ears, not understanding what's wrong with this, "Actually, I don't usually fight here."

"We're here."

"What this reveals is your reluctance to this great devil." Huai Xu smashed his mouth and said.

"You know that when you dream, you always take the things in your dreams as real, even though it feels ridiculous when you wake up. So I thought at that time, I must dig it out in the future and dig it out. But when I think about it, I feel very sad. Because the Gobi Desert is so big, I don't remember the specific location." Zhou Li frowned, "After waking up, I found you were sitting in front playing games, and I was speechless."

"hey-hey!"

Huai Xu was very proud.

Mingsha Mountain has arrived.

It is a trouble to bring Tuanzi to travel. Zhou Li must check whether the scenic spots can be brought to the pet scenic spots online in advance. Some can be found, while others cannot be found.

However, Zhou Li is usually like this now: if you can find a scenic spot where you can bring pets into it, he will openly bring Tuanzi in, and put Tuanzi down to play. If you can't find it, he will quietly bring Tuanzi in and play quietly. After all, Tuanzi is not a pet, and most of the reasons for restricting pet entry are not applicable to Tuanzi.

So he put the dumpling in his backpack, checked the tickets into the park, and then registered facial recognition, so he could enter the park again within three days.

"There are so few people." Zhou Li said.

"Camel!" Tuanzi turned a blind eye and looked outside through a small gap opened by the zipper, exclaiming in a low voice, "Baked Camel!"

"Shh." Zhou Li signaled.

"Shh." The dumplings repeated.

"Sir Tuanzi will talk later, there are many people here."

"Sir Tuanzi knows..." Then Tuanzi lowered her voice, "Look...there are camels."

"See it."

Zhou Li stepped forward and walked towards the sand mountain in front, saying as he walked: "It's so high, much taller than the sand dunes I imagined, and so steep."

"What do you imagine the dunes are like?"

"It's like that inside the Condor Heroes."

"Return to the Condor Heroes?"

"It's just not too high or too steep. You can go up by riding a horse, like a wave." Zhou Li pondered for a while, "I can run up with one sprint, and then run down with another sprint."

"That's a sand dune, this is a sand mountain." Huai Xu said, "but most sand dunes are also difficult to walk on."

"That's how it is."

"Climb slowly, I'll wait for you on it."

"Don't……"

Zhou Li turned his head and looked around and found that there was no one around him. When he looked up, he saw a figure standing at the highest point of the sand mountain, waving his hand sharply at him.

"well……"

Zhou Li took off his shoes and started climbing up.

The sand was burning for a day and it was a little warm.

The slope of the sand mountain is very steep, so steep that it requires both hands and feet. The sand is sliding, and it has to slide down by two-thirds of each step, which is extremely inefficient.

The scenic area does place rope ladders on the sandy mountain, which can help people. However, rope ladders are only effective in the lower half, and the upper half is completely covered by sand. So Zhou Li started another journey of three steps and two steps. At this time, he discovered that the height of this sandy mountain seemed to be higher than when he looked down, especially when he stopped and looked back, the people on the ground had turned into small dots. It might be the visual error caused by the color and shape of the sandy mountain.

After climbing one, there is still something to climb on it.

By the time he reached the top completely, it was already half an hour later.

Zhou Li turned his head and looked at it again and again at the top of the mountain. After walking twice, he was stopped by two aunts to help them take photos. Only then did he find Huai Xu.

Huai Xu sat on the ground, holding his knees, looking at the sunset in the distance, and seemed a little dazed.

Zhou Li sat down next to him.

At this time, there was still a short while before the sunset was set, and the roof of the attic next to the Crescent Spring was bathed in golden light. This way, you can enjoy the panoramic view and even see the city of Dunhuang ten kilometers away. However, Zhou Li's eyes were only concentrated on the Crescent Spring at the foot of the mountain. This oasis in the desert has been well-known for thousands of years.

"It's really crescent-shaped."

"Um."

"I've heard a song before," Zhou Li said, "It's called Crescent Bay, and I'm writing it here."

"Sing a few words and I'll listen."

"No."

"It's so ruthless." Huai Xu shook his head and pointed to the bottom and said, "My horse has urinated here before, and I have drunk water and taken a bath here, but I didn't expect it to be protected now."

“Is that the order?”

"..." Huai Xu reacted, "You are so annoying!"

"That's how it is."

Zhou Li didn't say anything anymore and was wearing shoes silently.

The temperature is still very low now. The reason why the sand is warm is that it is completely because it is sunbathing. As soon as the sun sets, the coolness will come instantly. Perhaps at most one minute, the top sand will become cold.

He even felt cold now.

The sunset is setting.

Because there are sandy mountains in front of you, the sunset here is not as complete as the desert, and it is much inferior in terms of magnificence and prosperity. But it is better because there are clouds today. The clouds have long been dyed into color by the sunset, and the color changes as the sun sinks. Compared with yesterday, it is another flavor.

Huai Xu raised the sand in his hand.
