Chapter 9

Who would have thought that President Fu would be so warm and hospitable, asking him to bring nothing at all, just to come over...

The search and rescue forces of our team, including the rescue team, have all returned to Dunhuang due to tonight's sandstorm. It is not that we do not want to rescue, but it is simply impossible to carry out rescue operations in such weather. He asked Shengzi for a bottle of water, and while unscrewing the cap, he continued to chatter: "The Yadan landform group in the ancient river valley is not large, but there are basically no roads that vehicles can traverse. Out of ten trips, nine will get stuck, and the remaining one relies entirely on the blessings of the Buddha."

She pointed to the notebook that Fu Xun was holding at that moment: "His notebook contains several expenditure records, including water purification tablets, a headlamp, glow sticks, and a survival whistle. If the equipment had not been exhausted, it should have been a choice to carry them when discarding the backpack."

At 2:00 PM, all rescue forces arrived outside the Yadan formations in the Guhe Valley.

Deploy troops and arrange formations

She recalled for a moment, only remembering that she was contemplating making another trip to the Yadan landform. After pondering for a few seconds, she said: "I suspect that Xun Haichao abandoned his backpack due to physical exhaustion."

The only main road that runs through the Yadan landform group in the ancient river valley was artificially opened more than a decade ago. After the road was repaired and rerouted a few years ago, this main road was subsequently abandoned

In the late night desert, a sandstorm is raging, with winds whose direction remains uncertain. As it stands, there is no sign of the wind's intensity diminishing in the slightest.

When Qu Yixian heard him say he was happy, he leisurely and ominously opened his mouth: "When did I say I was going now?"

After all, it is not a good look to meet for the first time with empty hands

Unexpectedly, she had already stood up and was stepping outside.

The sand beneath your feet is soft, as if a hand could emerge from the ground at any moment to drag you into the abyss

When the wind ceased, although the sand and dust still filled the sky, the visibility within the sandstorm gradually improved. By 1 PM, only a haze reminiscent of smog remained in the weather

Yuan Ye certainly did not leave without bringing anything; he still took enough rations, sufficient water, and ample gasoline supplies from his own granary.

Yuan Ye went out to see him off and took the opportunity to move all the supplies that were on Xu San's vehicle onto the support vehicle, Tu Le

What video are you referring to

Yuan Ye was inexplicably scolded, slumping in the corner like a wronged little wife: "Alright, alright, you continue speaking"

Yuan Ye inquired: "Is there any problem?"

To say that he is a red apricot is already a compliment to him

No." Yuan Ye shook his head vigorously, his gaze towards Fu Xun filled with admiration and sparkling with enthusiasm.

"It is not necessarily all that you have eaten," Yuan Ye said, "I have also been eating dirt recently, from the beginning of the month to the end of the month"

However, she doesn't have that at all; her daily life is even rougher than mine. In my circle of friends, I at least share photos of coffee, cakes, afternoon tea, flower arrangements, reading, and music festivals... She only shows advertisements with links and her Moments are only displayed for three days.

Indeed, one should not be too arrogant in life, as it can easily lead to retribution

Qu Yi Xian also has this question

Life allows one to see people, while death allows one to see corpses

Fu Xun heard such a fresh and unconventional reason for the first time, and couldn't help but laugh: "Is that so?"

Qu Yi Xian was worried about tomorrow's weather, tossing and turning all night, unable to find peace of mind

As the search and rescue operations entered the later stages, it was a late afternoon approaching evening

On a small hillock seventy-two kilometers away, a grain of sand stirred gently

Before he arrived, he called Fu Xun to ask if he was lacking anything or if there was anything short, and he brought it along on his way.

This little dog climbs as soon as it sees a wall

Fu Xun just noticed that he did not mention that, in light of the current situation, the reference value of this data is not significant

She does not remember anything at all

Even she would not dare to take this risk

Had no idea that the car owner was right behind

Qiu Yixian, disinterested in him, turned back to the car and tapped on the passenger window.

In the sandstorm weather, both the vehicles in front and behind proceed with utmost caution. A journey that usually takes only one hour took nearly twice as long today to reach the location where the backpack was found last night at Qu Yi Xian.

In just one night, the earth mound that collapsed yesterday was almost entirely consumed by the wind, leaving only the foundation of a soil platform.

On the second day, when dawn was just breaking, most of the people in the tent had already awakened

Is that so

Fu Xun watched her figure depart, the corners of his lips curling slightly, and said to Shengzi: "Have you prepared the sleeping bag I asked you to get ready?"

At eight o'clock in the morning, the weather still showed no signs of improvement. Although the wind had lessened, the sky was filled with dust and sand, obscuring the sun and reducing visibility to about ten meters.

Yuan Ye expressed his grievance: "When I was live broadcasting back then, you even asked me to make it look better, how could you turn your back on me now"

She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of sand being poured outside, from a basin to a handful, finally feeling at ease, she curled up in her sleeping bag and fell into a deep sleep

After Fu Xun washed her face, the ends of her hair were still wet. While she was in the car getting something, she saw Qu Yixian on the phone

Qu Yixian shot him a glance and said irritably, "Am I supposed to have eaten you?"

The phrase "曲一弦" has been chewed over and over, and it is evident that it is indeed a person who spends time reading, as their use of idioms is more grand than that of others

What were we just discussing

At nine o'clock in the morning, the camp was lifted. He paused and said: "We can now arrange our troops."

The window opened with a sound, and Fu Xun sat in the car, silently inquiring with his eyes: "What is it?"

Is now the right time to discuss this matter

Xu San is to return to Dunhuang to receive guests. The company had already assigned him a task a week ago. If it had not been for the strong wind and sand last night, he had planned to rush back overnight

She is the team leader of the Xinghui team, with only Peng Shen above her overseeing the entire operation. All guests on the circuit, any orders from Xinghui, are dispatched through her hands

At 9:00 in the morning, we will break camp on time and proceed to the Yadan formations in the ancient river valley.

What tent? How could she ask her what tent!

Having concluded the important matters, it is time to take a rest

Qu Yi Xian originally intended to come here to try his luck, hoping to make some new discoveries... After a night passed, he indeed found something quite significant... Someone had actually moved the entire Yadan.

After he finished dismantling the platform, he saw Shengzi's face full of regret, and waved his hand, with a sly and furtive expression: "But I have it, I can give it to you."

The team led by Qu Yixian will simultaneously conduct searches in three areas: the center of the ancient river valley, where there are still underground water sources available for replenishment; a fan-shaped area twenty kilometers around the river valley; and the surrounding desert of the ancient river valley

With a single string, Qu was enraged to the point of laughter, and that laughter sent a chill down Yuan Ye's neck, making him instinctively feel that he had unknowingly offended this lady again, just as he was thinking of ways to remedy the situation

As fewer people walk this path, it naturally becomes desolate

The sunlight penetrates the dust and falls upon the ground, as the heat of July once again returns to the earth

Entering the Yadan landform, even with sufficient luck to avoid getting stuck or having a flat tire, the visibility alone is quite poor. Not to mention finding Xun Haichao, who is physically exhausted and without an accurate location.

Over the years, very few people have ventured onto this abandoned provincial road, which is characterized by its complex terrain, narrow passages, and the danger of getting stuck.

"Tomorrow at dawn." Fu Xunqu pointed, lightly resting the knuckle of his index finger against his brow, slightly turning his gaze towards Qu Yixian: "The wind will die down in the latter half of the night. Although the weather won't be too good after dawn, there shouldn't be any issues with the search and rescue."

Job handling, Qu Yiqian smiled particularly sincerely: "This road is difficult to navigate, the tires need a bit more air. The G-Class is too expensive, I can't bring myself to buy it."

She glared at Yuan Ye and lightly tapped her fingers on the table, saying, "We are discussing serious matters, so stop interrupting!"

Conduct a carpet search in a pattern radiating outward from the center. If all goes as planned, the search within a radius of one hundred kilometers is expected to be completed within one day

She does not mind the dust and sand that has accumulated on the body of the G-Class all night, stepping on the welcome step, using the rearview mirror for support, and flipping herself onto the engine hood.

After Yuan Ye entered the desert, both of them lost signal. Outside, they could only contact someone reliable; otherwise, working would not only be cumbersome but also akin to being blind and deaf, with information being completely cut off.

Last night, a gust of sandstorm made driving even more difficult

Yuan Ye looked bewildered: "What tent?"

She turned her head and asked Yuan Ye, "Do you have any different opinions?"

by the latest before dark

In the team, she is clearer than anyone else about who is available today and who has matters to attend to

Yuan Ye felt that he had never been so eloquent in his life. He listened intently to the sound of the flowing sand scraping against the tent, and his resolve grew stronger: "In any case, I do not agree."

His eyebrows slightly raised, he completed the unspoken words she had hidden: "Do you think he is in the Yadan landform of the Gubei River Valley, wanting to go back to find him?"

After some thought, I feel that it could be more provocative, so I would like to add: "And here is the video of this young master participating in the motorcycle off-road competition"

Qu Yi Xian is familiar with the road conditions and leads the way. Yuan Ye and Sheng Zi are following closely behind the big G.

At eleven o'clock, the sandstorm that had ravaged throughout the night ceased

The melody of a single string harmonizes the fleet

"Rolling knife edge." Yuan Ye could not bear to listen any longer and interjected, "What he is referring to should be the video of you on the rolling knife edge in Alashan from two years ago."

Qu Yixian felt that Yuan Ye's gaze was particularly familiar to her, just like the way he looked at her when she returned from the Tengger Desert with a rolling knife.

I wonder how I feel that when you sit on the engine hood, it seems quite easy to reach down.

By late at night, the wind indeed calmed down

Go and bring it here

Yuan Ye followed behind her, startled to hear that a mound of earth had been leveled: "I have only heard of gradual weathering and disappearance. The wind and sand were strong last night, but surely not to this extent?"

Qin Yixian frowned: "How come I didn't know you had these videos"

Before Qu Yixian had the chance to respond, Yuan Ye exclaimed, "Now? No way, absolutely not"

Qu Yi Xian was still pondering over what Yuan Ye had said on the phone in the afternoon about Fu Xun. Unable to wait any longer, she saw that he showed no sign of awareness and kicked him with her foot: "What are you still standing there for? Let's go set up the tent."

After taking two steps, he stopped again and beckoned to Yuan Ye with his finger: "Come out with me." As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted the tent flap and strode out.

In the desert, unlike other places, water and all usable resources are the most precious.

Qu Yi Xian Qi Le: "Don't tell me you came here empty-handed like this."
