Hello, 1983

This is already the third day that Liu Qingshan and the others have entered Devil City.

Several people are covered with a thick layer of dust, and their bodies and spirits are on the verge of collapse.

If it weren't for the perseverance of Cao Xiaofei and Li Likun, they would not have been able to persevere long ago.

As for Miss Xiaoxu, Liu Qingshan has been carrying her since yesterday afternoon.

At this moment, Aizmat was also very embarrassed, and he also reached the limit: My friend, we must return today, we are running out of water!

Not just water, but food, is also at stake.

The most important thing is that with everyone's current state of mind, it is obvious that they can't support it.

Liu Qingshan raised his eyes and looked around, but the hills were still vast and continuous, as if there was no end.

His energy and physical strength can continue to support, but he knows that his companions can no longer hold on.

Looking back, Liu Qingshan licked his dry lips: Look for the last day today, no matter what the result is, go back tomorrow.

As the backbone of this team, he has to be responsible for the players.

As soon as the voice fell, the girl on her back struggled to the ground: I'm the one who has implicated you, you go back now, I'll stay here with him!

Liu Qingshan shook his head: He is your brother Hai, and he is also my brother Hai.

Aizmat also shook his head vigorously: No, we don't have the habit of abandoning our companions.

After a short break, the team continued to march in silence, except for hoarse shouts, which occasionally sounded.

As time goes by, everyone's heart sinks more and more to the bottom.

During a break, Miss Xiaoxu said that she was going to relieve her. She went around a hill and stumbled to the distance.

She had made up her mind: never to leave here again.

There were fast footsteps behind her, and it was Liu Qingshan who came up and grabbed her arm: Do you want us to be buried with you?

No... The girl squatted on the ground, sobbing, tears streaming down her cheeks.

It seems that she will take all the tears of her life,

It's all drained here.

The grief in Liu Qingshan's heart was no less than that of the girl. He struggled to pull Senior Brother Hai into a new life path.

But all his efforts will be buried by the yellow sand here. At this moment, his heart is like a knife twisted.

what!

Liu Qingshan's grief and indignation resounded for a long time.

Cao Xiaofei and Li Likun also rushed over together. While running, Cao Xiaofei stumbled and even fell to the ground.

Camel, camel! Li Likun suddenly screamed, clasping his hands on the ground.

Liu Qingshan also heard the news and ran over, and soon a raised hump appeared in front of them.

The camel was obviously dead, but the fur on his body was not rotting. Li Likun cut a piece of flesh with a knife, and the camel meat inside was still relatively fresh.

Search carefully around here! Liu Qingshan couldn't help but feel happy.

Cao Xiaofei and Li Likun immediately began to search around, while Liu Qingshan squatted beside the camel and continued to search.

Miss Xiaoxu also ran over, and soon found a leather bag. After opening it, there were some messy pen and paper inside.

It's Big Brother Hai's note! The girl yelled.

Then she turned out another unsent letter and held it tightly in her arms.

Because the recipient column of this letter has her name written on it.

The girl carefully pocketed the envelope, bit her lip, and joined the search.

Liu Qingshan looked at the direction the three were looking for, then chose the side that no one was looking for, and slowly searched forward, shouting from time to time, Senior Brother Hai, where are you?

However, there was no echo, only the whistling of the wind, which brought bursts of ghost whistling.

After zigzagging and searching for an hour or so, Liu Qingshan seemed to faintly hear a sound different from the wind.

He identified it carefully again, it seemed to be the voice of Miss Xiaoxu.

He went around in circles and followed the intermittent voice to find it.

Under a hill shaped like a galloping horse, Liu Qingshan saw the girl who was half-kneeling there, and seemed to be holding a person in his arms.

Liu Qingshan hurried over, and he finally saw Senior Brother Hai's face full of sand, with a relieved smile on his face.

Is it still too late?

Liu Qingshan's heart trembled violently, and the strong tearing pain caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.

Brother Hai, I finally found you.

The girl murmured and gently wiped Senior Brother Hai's cheek with her hands.

There were no tears on her face, but a strange smile on her face.

At this time, Liu Qingshan climbed over, held up Senior Brother Hai's wrist, took out a small bottle from the pocket inside his clothes, and poured out a pill.

He crushed the outer layer of wax seal, stuffed the pill into Senior Brother Hai's mouth, and let out a long breath:

Fortunately, life is still alive.

This pill was prepared by the dumb grandfather. The main medicine is an old wild ginseng plant that has been more than 50 years old. It is a pill that can definitely save lives.

The girl's body trembled suddenly, and then she hugged Senior Brother Hai tighter.

After a while, Li Likun also came over, and then called both Cao Xiaofei and Aizimati.

Liu Qingshan brought a small water bag and slowly poured water into Senior Brother Hai's mouth.

He poured a small mouthful, and he would stop for a while before taking another mouthful.

For people who are seriously dehydrated, replenishment should not be too urgent.

Finally, Senior Brother Hai's eyelids moved, and then he opened his eyes. His eyes were still a little dazed. After a long time, he gradually focused, and then he saw the girl's dirty face.

His lips moved a few times, and then he made a faint sound:

It turns out that death is not liberation.

So we all have to live well!

Liu Qingshan's almost roaring voice came.

Only now did he know that Senior Brother Hai's heart had not been completely resolved.

Senior Brother Hai grinned hard, showing an ugly smile: Yes, live well, there are too many treasures in life that we need to cherish.

He stretched out his hand with difficulty and touched the girl's cheek: You are my baby.

Little Xu girl's tears finally rustled down.

Liu Qingshan was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, feeling a little choked up.

Then he saw Senior Brother Hai looking at him: Qingshan, you are also my baby. Family, friendship, and love are all the most precious treasures.

Liu Qingshan could only nod his head: Senior Brother Hai, don't talk so much, your mouth will be dry.

Two days later, the group finally walked out of Devil City.

Everyone was finally able to ride a camel again, and they felt extremely relaxed.

This damn place, I will never come again! Cao Xiaofei turned back to look at the hills with different expressions, and felt a sense of escaping death in his heart.

Aizmati also looked back: It seems that the Devil City is not so scary.

Li Likun shouted to Aizimati: We will definitely come here often in the future. The quality of the gold silk jade here is the best.

Liu Qingshan also had a smile on his face, this feeling of being lost and found is really good.

It's a worthwhile trip, I found gold silk jade that is quite valuable in the future, and what is more precious than gold silk jade is love and friendship.

Everyone went to the evening, and finally set up a small pot again and drank a bowl of hot soup beautifully.

Everyone drank it loudly. It turns out that drinking a bowl of soup is happiness. Yes, happiness is sometimes that simple.

The higher your desire, the harder it is to find it.

Senior Brother Hai has also been able to eat, except that his body is still a little weak, there is no serious problem.

If he survives this disaster, he must have gained more insights and will cherish life more and more.

The next morning, Liu Qingshan finally resumed morning exercises.

Aizimaiti led the camel to find food, and when passing by Liu Qingshan, he gave him a thumbs up.

Aizimati originally thought that Liu Qingshan was practicing fancy tricks, but after the battle with the wolves, he realized that it was real kung fu.

Liu Qingshan also followed Aizmat, and pulled some dry wood by the way, ready to go back to make a fire.

When passing through a shuttle, Aizmati suddenly cheered, and he didn't know what to shout.

Liu Qingshan leaned up to take a look, and saw plants more than one meter high emerging from the sand, which looked a bit like sorghum ears.

He couldn't help but blink his eyes: Is this Cistanche Cistanche?

In their hometown, there is a similar plant, but it is Cistanche deserticola, which belongs to the family Ledang family, but the plant is much smaller than this.

This thing is a parasitic plant with great medicinal and edible value, nourishes the kidney essence, warms the essence and blood, and is a precious Chinese herbal medicine.

Aizimati also obviously knew the efficacy of Cistanche deserticola. He lay on the ground and gently scraped the sand around the roots with his hands.

Then he broke the cistanche and refilled the sand.

Cistanche deserticola likes to parasitize on the lateral roots of Haloxylon ammodendron, so try not to destroy it.

The shouting just now attracted Li Likun too.

This brewed wine is very good. Aizimati shook the cistanche conspicuously, like a big mace.

Li Likun obviously knew this thing, so he also began to look for it in the nearby Shuosuo bushes.

This season is the time when Cistanche cistanche breaks out of the ground.

There's also over there! Liu Qingshan ran towards the distance, his eyesight was excellent, and such a big stick came out of the soil, it was really eye-catching.

But when Liu Qingshan ran to the front, he found that the plant in front of him was a little different from the Cistanche.

On top of Cistanche Cistanche are tiny flower spikes, while this one in front of them is brown-red and has not bloomed.

Aizimati and Li Likun also ran over panting, Aizimati began to shout again, and Li Likun also wowed:

Boss, this is Suoyang!

Liu Qingshan had heard of the name Suoyang, but this thing grows in the desert, so they don't have it in their hometown.

As for the efficacy, it is similar to Cistanche, but more rare and precious.

In fact, from the name, you can also understand the efficacy of this parasitic plant.

Aizimati began to scrape the soil there again, but there were more parts of Cynomorium buried below the ground. After scraping for a long time, only two plants were exposed.

One of them was just about to break the ground.

Aizimati carefully took down the two Cynomorium plants, trying not to damage the small buds around them.

Finally, sand was buried, and he picked up a few stones and made a mark around it.

This is something that Liu Qingshan appreciates: the herdsmen also know how to protect them when they collect herbs.

A few people circled around again and found a few more plants of Cistanche deserticola, but they never saw Cynomorium again.

When they returned, Aizimati happily hugged Cistanche, Li Likun carried a Cynomorium in one hand, and Liu Qingshan dragged a tent of dead branches to start the fire.

When I arrived at the station, I saw that in the morning light, Miss Xiaoxu was wiping her face with a handkerchief dipped in water.

The morning sun sprinkled on the two of them, and the bath was a bit holy.

A single dog like Li Likun rubbed his cheek with his sleeve, but it got a lot of sand.

Isn't it bad for you to show your love like this? Liu Qingshan teased them cheerfully.

The girl held Senior Brother Hai's arm generously: After we go back, we will hold the wedding.

Liu Qingshan blinked: Well, even if the two of you are talented and handsome.

When the camel team returned to Aizmati's yurt, everyone finally felt completely at ease.

Liu Qingshan walked out of the yurt and was a little uncomfortable with the dazzling sunlight outside.

Then he heard a clatter of hooves, but saw a group of herdsmen coming on horseback.

When they got closer, they saw that they had bags on their horses.

A sturdy herdsman jumped in front of Liu Qingshan, and saw him put his right hand on his chest, then bowed slightly, and saluted Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan also hurriedly returned the salute. The other party was a man in his thirties, older than him.

And their bowing is a way of showing respect. Liu Qingshan doesn't know why he is respected by herdsmen.

Because not only this strong man, but also the herdsmen behind him.

It was not until Li Likun came over and pointed to the three fluttering wolfskin tubes outside the yurt that Liu Qingshan finally understood that it must be Aizmat who added fuel to the story and told about their battle with the wolves.

The brawny man just took off the bag from the horse, slammed, and fell to the ground. The light inside was shining, and it was all golden thread jade.

It seems that Aizimati also spread the word about this matter. This guy is generous, and he didn't think about making a fortune in silence.

Li Likun served as a translator for these herdsmen: Are you sure you want to collect this kind of stone?

Liu Qingshan nodded, then squatted on the ground, began to pick out those stones, and threw them away, the rest still weighed five or six pounds.

He asked Ye Erjiang to fetch the scales, but the herdsmen didn't really have such a thing at home, so he could only make a rough estimate first.

Liu Qingshan calculated six catties and three kilograms for the golden thread jade of the big man, which was exactly three hundred yuan.

The man was holding six fifty-yuan bills and couldn't help but cheer.

The other herdsmen were equally happy, and then all bent down and began to pick out the stones they had picked up.

Liu Qingshan, Li Likun and the others also gave simple instructions.

At the end, the herdsmen had a few more banknotes in their hands, and then they started singing and dancing here, and a few men ran back to slaughter the sheep.

Liu Qingshan did not see Aizmati, so he asked Ye Erjiang.

At this time, I saw a carriage running back in the distance, and it was Aizmati who was driving the carriage.

When he got closer, and then looked inside his carriage, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. The carriage was actually filled with more than half of the gold thread jade.
