"You still have some breath."

Drowsily, I heard the sound of someone speaking, and my vision was a little blurry. I felt like my whole body was being burned by fire, and my whole body was about to be scorched.

"It's still fresh."

Someone spoke.

I saw several people surrounding me. Their heads were wrapped in white scarves and their whole bodies were wrapped in white robes.

"Who are you?"

After I regained consciousness, they gave me a sip of water and I felt a little better.

"You saved me?"

Those people looked at each other.

"Alive!"

Those people just muttered. They seemed to ignore my words and just placed my body, which was so weak that I could barely walk, on a camel.

"Walk!"

A camel bell rang throughout the desert.

desert!

The golden desert reflects the sunlight and is very dazzling.

I saw about ten people in this group and dozens of camels filled with boxes. No one knew what was in those boxes. Those people were very strange and didn't seem to want to talk to me, but they rescued me.

Shouldn't I be in a cave, buried?

How did you get here?

It seemed that they dug me out of a pile of sand.

"Ahem!"

All I coughed out of my mouth was some sand.

Where are they going? Why is everyone silent? Everything I had on me was gone, perhaps thrown away when the cave collapsed, and what would Dakui and Mo Lan do if they couldn't find me?

The sun seems to be setting.

Ahead, there seemed to be a looming building like a city wall.

Great Wall?

I'm a little confused.

Could it be that we are on the way back now, so once we cross the Great Wall, we have saved half of our lives.

I think this place was originally a gateway.

It has been abandoned for thousands of years, so it looks very desolate, but for people walking in the desert, this is an indispensable resting place. As soon as those people saw this pass, they became excited.

They left their camels behind and tied them up in a shadow beneath the pass.

Then he carried the box and walked into the gate.

The people made a bonfire, and then drank wine and chatted around the fire.

Only one person noticed me.

He was a man in his forties, all dark-skinned. He had taken off his white robe and had a stubble on his face.

"drink wine?"

He pushed the drink to me.

I shook my head.

"water."

My lips were almost chapped, I was weak, and my whole body was steaming.

"Na!"

The man threw the kettle to me, and I drank heavily. The water tasted strange, but I couldn't care less about it now.

It would be nice to survive.

"Are you lost?"

the man asked me.

I shook my head, but I didn't know what to say, so I nodded.

"You owe us your life!"

He said coldly, then poured a large gulp of wine into his mouth and smashed his mouth.

"What do you do?"

My eyes always fell on the dozen or so boxes. The boxes were made of iron, and the patterns on the outside had fallen off, leaving only the rusty boxes exposed. They didn't look very heavy.

"We don't welcome talkative people here!"

The bearded man said.

"What's your name?"

"Lin Yu."

The man frowned and walked away without saying anything.

They were grilling meat and drinking wine, treating it like a bonfire party, talking and laughing. However, there were two people guarding the box, who only drank a few sips of wine and sat around the box, never leaving.

What's inside that box?

In the middle of the night, I was woken up by the cold.

As soon as midnight arrives, it's like arriving in another place. The weather is several degrees below zero, making people feel like they are in a world of ice and fire.

Suddenly, I noticed a dark shadow appearing around the ruins.

"who?"

I'm a little wary.

Looking at those people again, they seemed to be sleeping soundly and snoring constantly. The night watchman seemed to have been knocked unconscious, and the bonfire was about to be extinguished. Only the moonlight shone through the entire ruins, making it clearer.

The dark figure was hiding around the pile of boxes. Maybe it heard my voice and didn't dare to move.

I casually picked up a rusty weapon lying around. Its original appearance could no longer be seen, and it was left lying around.

I slowly leaned over.

Just one meter away from me, I clearly saw a pair of eyes, staring straight at me.

The man rushed out suddenly and headed directly towards me.

"Catch the thief!"

I was about to shout these two words when I felt a heavy punch on my shoulder, and half of my body could hardly move.

The dark figure was ready to exit.

But he was caught by someone who woke up.

"Get him!"

Maybe my shouting disturbed these people, so they woke up one by one, lit torches, and caught that person.

"His grandma's!"

Those people cursed, "There are indeed thieves!"

"Kill him!"

Some people rushed over with knives.

Of course, with more than a dozen people surrounding that black shadow, no matter what he did, he couldn't escape.
