Under the dark night, two cars, one behind the other, were driving at lightning speed on a deserted road.
When it was difficult to determine the location, Wen Qizhou relied on his intuition and drove the SUV driven by Xie Changxiao forward.
He pressed the accelerator to the bottom and occasionally glanced at the lava surging in the mountains through the rearview mirror.
The magma ignited the trees, and raging fires ignited wherever it passed. The fire sometimes illuminated the sky, and sometimes was covered by thick smoke, like a giant beast tearing its body, with its bloody mouth open, staring at the direction they were leaving.
The heat wave kept coming.
As if she was in a steamer, Chi Yue let go of her hand holding the armrest, leaned forward and turned on the air conditioner, feeling the cool breeze blowing in her face, and her straight back immediately relaxed.
Seeing the lava disappear from her sight, she took out a pack of wet tissues, took out two and wiped them with Wen Qizhou, who was sweating profusely, and then handed them to Master Mingming, who was sitting in the back row.
"Fortunately, we didn't have time to get close to the volcano just now." Otherwise, we might have been swallowed by the magma.
Xunsong said "hmm" repeatedly.
He was restrained by the safety belt and could not stand up to look behind him. He could only ask: "Is the magma still chasing us?"
"No more." But the threats of wildfires and thick smoke were still there, and Wen Qizhou did not dare to stop. He still maintained the original speed and gradually moved away from the mountains ignited by the magma.
Who would have guessed──
After leaving the mountains, you will come to the desert.
He looked in the direction illuminated by the high beam, the surprise in his eyes fleeting. He subconsciously stopped his right foot from stepping on the accelerator and slowed down the car slightly, but had no intention of turning around.
After all, he had reached the edge of the desert, and it was impossible to go back. Not to mention whether he still remembered the way, he was afraid that he would accidentally take the wrong step and return to the burning mountains.
"It's almost two o'clock." He raised his wrist and glanced at the dial on his wrist: "Shall we take a rest first?"
Chi Yue nodded: "Okay."
After the off-road vehicle came to a stop, she stepped off the gravel-strewn road, looked at the desert and stretched her shoulders and neck, then opened the trunk and took out the tent they had packed in hastily.
"I was scared to death!" Wen Yaxian then stepped out of the SUV and wiped the sweat from her neck: "The scene when the magma surged in was even scarier than the disaster movies I've seen before."
Chi Yunyan: "Yes." He and Ge Huai took down the tent: "I have been thinking about what to do if the car breaks down or we are overtaken by lava."
Xie Changxiao: "I've thought about it too."
All possible accidents flashed through his mind like a fleeting glance at the moment he accelerated and drove forward.
The foot that caused him to step on the accelerator is still numb to this day, and he almost lost his footing when he got out of the car.
"What a blessing." Ge Qinyao was so scared that she didn't want to recall the previous scene, and sighed: "We escaped again."
They were still immersed in the fear and oppression of being chased by magma, and only Yan Shuo noticed their surroundings.
"Qizhou." Yan Shuo walked towards Wen Qizhou, who was leading them to escape from the mountains, and asked, "Which desert are we in now?"
"Not sure."
Wen Qizhou didn't bother to determine the direction yet.
He spread a picnic mat outside the tent, sat down on his knees, and lit a cigarette: "I drove over and got here."
"Then let me look at the map."
As he unfolded the map, the people in the SUV realized that they were on the edge of the desert.
Xie Changxiao came closer to watch with him.
They determined their current location on the map, re-planned the route with Wen Qizhou, and then returned to the tent to rest.
The flashlights burning in the five tents stopped with a burst of conversation and then went out quietly.
While they were sleeping, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou entered the space, took off their sweat-soaked clothes, stepped into the stream with bare feet, and allowed the gurgling stream to gradually wrap around their bodies.
She wet the towel and wiped the back of her neck, her eyes falling on the still area on the left: "Qi Zhou, we haven't finished eating our shrimps yet."
"You are hungry?"
"Kind of."
"Kind of."
"Then let's eat after washing."
Wen Qizhou, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, watched the snow peaks as white as porcelain jade pass before his eyes without thinking about anything else.
He slowly washed off the stickiness on his body, put on clean clothes first, walked to the quiet area, and put the plate of steamed rice noodles with garlic vermicelli on the coffee table near the stream.
"咴咴──"
Fang Xing and Jin Ge let out a cry.
They looked at Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou and rubbed their front hooves back and forth on the ground twice, obviously wanting to go out and play.
Chi Yue walked to the stable to coax them.
Feed them some feed, keep them quiet, then go to the coffee table, sit down, and eat a piece of shrimp wrapped in garlic.
"They haven't been out for a while. They are probably suffocated." In Yuanyun Mountain before, she and Wen Qizhou would let them run around the back mountain while hunting.
Since the natural gas pipeline burst and they were forced to leave the Taoist temple, they have never had the opportunity to take them out to play.
"When we leave the desert, let's find another opportunity to take them out to play." Keeping them locked up for too long can lead to depression.
Chi Yue responded vaguely.
After they finished eating the remaining pork belly, they heard that Qizhou thought that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was large and it might get cold in the middle of the night, so they took a thin quilt from the closet before returning to the tent.
He spread the thin quilt on the sleeping bag, put his arms around Chi Yue's waist and said "good night", and was overwhelmed by the surging sleepiness.
The bright moonlight accompanies people to sleep.
In a quiet enough environment, the couple slept in each other's arms, feeling each other's warmth, and slept until dawn.
"hot……"
Chi Yue kicked away the sleeping bag.
The rising sun hangs in the sky, and the temperature in the desert is close to 40 degrees. Even if the wind blows, there is still no way to avoid the heat wave.
Seeing a thin layer of sweat forming on the tip of her nose, Wen Qizhou put the sleeping bag and quilt aside and picked up a cattail leaf fan to fan her.
He took the trouble to repeat the same action. Even though Chi Yue was completely awake, he still didn't put down the hand holding the fan handle.
"Husband." Chi Yue leaned into his arms like a clingy cat with her red face.
"What's wrong?"
"Kiss."
She pursed her bright red lips and stared at him unblinkingly with a pair of crystal clear almond eyes, tempting him to pick.
How could Wen Qizhou withstand her teasing?
His fingertips ran through Chi Yue's long hair, covered the back of her neck and pressed forward, sucking on her lips to absorb the sweet fragrance.
The ferocious kiss took away your breath.
The enthusiasm continues to spread.
Chi Yue, who was begging for a kiss, couldn't bear it. She felt like a puddle of water in his arms, squealing and pushing his shoulders, signaling him to retreat.
Taking into account that there were still people outside, Wen Qizhou stopped, but the fingertips that moved from the butterfly bone to the white patch of white were still moving, still lecturing the person who flirted with him early in the morning.
He asked hoarsely: "Are you still seducing me?"
"...I didn't." Chi Yue pursed her moist lips, rolled her eyes with tenderness, and glared at him angrily.
