Chapter 681 This Feels So Good (Please Guaranteed Monthly Pass)

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

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

  If Cao Xiaofei and Li Likun hadn't had more perseverance than ordinary people, they might not have been able to persevere.

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

  At this moment, Aizmaiti is also very embarrassed, and he has also reached the limit: "My friend, I must return today. We are running out of water!"

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

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

  Liu Qingshan raised his eyes and looked around, the hills were still vast and continuous, as if they would never end.

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

  Looking back, Liu Qingshan licked his dry lips: "Today is the last day, no matter what the result is, I will go back tomorrow."

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

   As soon as the voice fell, the **** the back struggled to the ground: "I got you bothered, you go back now, I will stay here with him!"

  Liu Qingshan shook his head: "He is your Big Brother Hai, and also my Senior Brother Hai."

  Aizmaiti 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, only hoarse shouts sounded occasionally.

  As time goes by, everyone's hearts sink more and more to the bottom.

  During a break, Miss Xiaoxu said she was going to relieve herself. She circled a hill and stumbled to a distance.

  She has made up her mind: never leave here again.

  Fast footsteps sounded behind her, it was Liu Qingshan who caught up and grabbed her arm: "Do you want us to be buried with you?"

   "No..." The girl squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably, tears streaming down her cheeks.

   It seems that all the tears of this life are going to be shed here.

  The grief in Liu Qingshan's heart was not less than that of the girl. He took great efforts to pull Senior Brother Hai into a new path of life.

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

"what!"

   Liu Qingshan's mournful hissing sound echoed for a long time.

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

   "Camel, camel!" Li Likun suddenly screamed strangely, pawing on the ground with both hands.

  Liu Qingshan also ran over after hearing the news, and soon a raised hump appeared in front of their eyes.

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

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

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

  Miss Xiaoxu also ran over, and soon found a skin bag. After opening it, there were some messy papers and pens inside.

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

   Then she turned out another letter that hadn't been sent, and hugged her tightly in her arms.

  Because the recipient of this letter is writing her name.

  The girl carefully put the envelope into her pocket, then bit her lip, and joined the search.

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

   But there was no echo, only the whistling wind, bringing ghost howls.

   After searching zigzags for an hour or so, Liu Qingshan seemed to hear a voice different from the wind.

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

  He went around in a circle, looking for it following the intermittent voice.

  Under a hill shaped like a galloping horse, Liu Qingshan saw a girl half kneeling there, who seemed to be holding someone in her arms.

  Liu Qingshan hurried over, he finally saw Brother Hai's sandy face, with a relieved smile on his face.

   Is it still a step late?

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

   "Brother Hai, I finally found you."

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

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

  At this time, Liu Qingshan crawled over, held up Senior Brother Hai's wrist, then 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 a 50-year-old wild ginseng. It is a life-saving pill.

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

   After a while, Li Likun also came to look for it, and then called Cao Xiaofei and Aizmaiti.

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

   After taking a small sip, you have to stop for a while before pouring another sip.

   For people who are severely dehydrated, the water supply 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. It took a long time for him to gradually focus, and then he saw the girl's dirty face.

  His lips moved a few times before he made a weak voice:

   "It turns out that death is not liberation."

  Liu Qingshan's almost roaring voice came: "So we all have to live well!"

  He only realized now that Senior Brother Hai's knot in his heart had not been completely untied.

  Brother Hai grinned hard, showing a smile:

   "Yes, live well, there are too many things in life that we need to cherish."

  People around are also silent: Yes, life is so beautiful and worth cherishing.

  Although everyone has suffered a lot during this search, it is not a bad thing to have this understanding.

  Because they all learned to cherish.

  He stretched out his hand and gently touched the girl's cheek, and the girl's tears finally flowed down.

  The hearts of each other are all in words...

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

  Everyone was finally able to ride the camel again, feeling extremely relaxed.

   "I will never come to this damned place again!" Cao Xiaofei looked back at the hills in various shapes and forms, feeling as though he had narrowly escaped death.

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

   Li Likun yelled at Aizmaiti: "We will definitely come here often in the future. The quality of the gold silk and jade here is the best."

  Liu Qingshan was also smiling all over his face. It's such a good feeling to find something lost.

   It was a worthwhile trip, I discovered the valuable gold silk jade in the future, and what is more precious than the gold silk jade is love and friendship.

  In the evening, I finally set up a small pot and drank a bowl of hot soup.

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

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

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

   Surviving this catastrophe, he must have gained more insights and will cherish life more and more.

  Early the next morning, Liu Qingshan finally resumed his morning exercises.

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

   Aizimaiti originally thought that Liu Qingshan practiced ostentation, but after fighting with wolves, he realized that he was a real kung fu.

  Liu Qingshan followed Aizmaiti and drew some dry firewood by the way, ready to go back and start a fire.

   When passing by a Haloxylon, Aizmat suddenly cheered, and he didn't know what he was shouting.

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

  He couldn't help blinking: "Is this Cistanche?"

  In their hometown, there is a similar plant, but it is Cistanche cistanche, which belongs to the same family of Lidangaceae, but the plant is much smaller than this one.

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

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

  Then break off the cistanche and refill it with sand.

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

  The yelling just now attracted Li Likun.

   "This wine is very good." Aizmaiti held up the cistanche and shook it in a showy way, like a big mace.

   Li Likun obviously knew this thing too, so he also started looking for it in the nearby Haloxylon bushes.

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

   "There are also over there!" Liu Qingshan ran towards the distance, his eyesight is excellent, and such a big stick coming out of the soil is indeed quite eye-catching.

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

   On the top of Cistanche deserticola, there are tiny flower spikes, while the one in front of me is brownish red and has no flowers.

   Aizmaiti and Li Likun also ran over panting, Aizmaiti started to yell again, and Li Likun also yelled:

   "Boss, this is Cynomorium!"

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

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

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

  Aizmaiti started digging up the soil again, but there are more parts of Cynomorium buried under the ground. After digging for a long time, two plants were exposed.

  One of them is just about to break the ground.

  Aizmaiti carefully removed the two Cynomorium plants, trying not to damage the surrounding buds.

  Finally, I buried it with sand, picked up a few stones, and made a mark around it.

   Liu Qingshan appreciates this point: when the herdsmen gather herbs, they also know how to protect them.

   Several people walked around in a big circle again, and found several Cistanche plants, but they didn't see Cynomorium again.

  When they went back, Ai Zimaiti happily hugged Cistanche, Li Likun held a Cynomorium in one hand, and Liu Qingshan dragged a canopy of dead branches to start the fire.

   Arriving at the station, I saw that in the morning light, Miss Xiaoxu was wiping her face with a handkerchief dipped in water. After she finished wiping herself, she also helped Senior Brother Hai to do the same.

  The morning sun shone on the two bodies, and they were bathed in a bit of holiness.

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

   "Isn't it good for you to show your affection like this?" Liu Qingshan teased them cheerfully.

  The girl graciously held Brother Hai's arm: "After we go back, the wedding will be held."

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

  When the camel caravan returned to the yurt of Aizmaiti, everyone was finally at ease, and slept in the dark for half a day and night before completely recovering.

  Liu Qingshan walked out of the yurt, and was a little uncomfortable being shaken by the dazzling sunlight outside.

   Then I heard the sound of rattling horseshoes, and saw a group of herdsmen riding their horses.

   It was only when they got closer that they all had bags on their horses.

  A strong herdsman jumped in front of Liu Qingshan. He put his right hand on his chest, then bowed slightly, saluting Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan also quickly returned the gift, the other party was a man in his thirties, even older than him.

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

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

  It wasn't until Li Likun came over and pointed to the three fluttering sheepskin tubes outside the yurt that Liu Qingshan understood a little bit. Aizmaiti must have added fuel to the story and told about their fight with the wolves.

  The strong man just took off the bag from the horse, crashed, and fell to the ground. The light inside was shining, and it was full of gold and jade.

  It seems that Aizmaiti spread the word about it, this guy is generous, he didn't want to make a fortune in silence.

  Li Likun acted as an interpreter for these herdsmen: "Are you sure you want to collect this kind of stone?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded, then squatted on the ground, and began to pick out those stones, throwing away the ones that were too bad, and the rest still weighed five or six catties.

   asked Ye Erjiang to get the scale, but the herdsman really didn't have such a scale at home, so he could only make a rough estimate first.

  Liu Qingshan calculated six catties, three kilograms, for the big man's golden silk jade, which was exactly three hundred yuan.

  The man was holding six fifty-yuan bills, and he couldn't help but let out a cheer.

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

  Liu Qingshan and Li Likun also gave simple guidance on the side.

  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 Aizmaiti, so he asked Ye Erjiang.

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

   When he got close to him, and looked inside his carriage, Liu Qingshan couldn't help being a little dumbfounded, the carriage was filled with more than half of gold silk jade.
