In the endless desert, Xiao Yi lay alone in a simple house. The darkness around him seemed like a huge monster, ready to devour all light at any time. He closed his eyes, but the whistling sound of the wind kept coming into his ears. The sound of the wind was like an ancient wailing, shrill and long, as if it was about to tear the silent desert apart.
The outer wall of the house creaked in the wind, as if it would collapse at any time. Xiao Yi felt lonely. He thought of his hometown far away and the smiling faces of his relatives, but these memories seemed so pale and powerless in the face of the indifference of the desert.
Suddenly, a stronger wind blew, rolling up sand all over the sky, hitting the windows of the house with a "bang bang" sound. Xiao Yi couldn't help but shudder. He hugged himself tightly, trying to find a trace of warmth in this endless darkness.
At this moment, he heard a faint cry, which seemed so helpless and desolate in the whistling wind. Xiao Yi was startled and sat up, listening carefully. The cry was getting closer and closer, as if something was approaching his house.
He mustered up his courage, picked up the torch beside him, and walked out of the house carefully. The wind outside was even stronger, and the sand was cutting his face like a knife. Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, and in the faint light of the fire, he saw a small figure huddled beside a sand dune not far away.
He approached and saw that it was a lost child with ragged clothes and tear marks on his face. The child's eyes were full of fear and helplessness. When he saw Xiao Yi, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
An inexplicable emotion surged in Xiao Yi's heart. He squatted down and gently hugged the child, trying to give him a little comfort. He wrapped the child in his cloak and took him back to the house.
Under the warm firelight, the child's face gradually regained its rosy complexion. He told Xiao Yi that he was blown here by a strong wind and couldn't find his way home. Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of fate as he listened to the child's story.
In the following days, Xiao Yi and the child depended on each other for survival. Together they faced the harsh environment of the desert and spent long nights together. In the howling wind, they found support in each other and the courage to face difficulties.
Finally one day, a caravan passed by, taking the child with them, along with the loneliness in Xiao Yi's heart. Xiao Yi stood in front of the house, watching the caravan drift away, his heart filled with emotion. He knew that although this desert was cold and unforgiving, it also taught him to cherish and be strong.
From then on, every night, Xiao Yi would sit in front of the house and listen to the whistling wind. Although the wind was still shrill, to him, it was like the desert telling its story, and also like it was telling the unforgettable experience between him and his child.
He rubbed his hazy eyes, washed up briefly, and set off on a new journey. Not long into the journey, he spotted something strange in the distance, looming in the sea of sand. Curiosity piqued his interest, and he sped up, eager to get a closer look.
As the distance closed, the strange outline gradually became clearer. Xiao Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes, and an inexplicable chill surged in his heart. It turned out to be a coffin, lying alone among the sand dunes, as if telling a story of the past that no one knew.
He stopped the car and cautiously approached the coffin. The wood was mottled, clearly weathered by countless years. He gently stroked the coffin's surface, feeling its rough texture, his heart filled with doubt and uneasiness.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, stirring up a cloud of dust. Xiao Yi couldn't help but squint his eyes. After the wind and sand passed, he was surprised to find that the lid of the coffin was slightly open.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to open the coffin to see what secrets were hidden inside. He took a deep breath and pushed open the coffin lid with force.
An old smell came to his face, mixed with the smell of sand. The coffin was empty, with only a yellowed piece of paper lying there quietly. Xiao Yi picked up the paper carefully and found that it was covered with ancient words.
He carefully read the words and gradually understood the coffin's origins. It turned out that this place was once the cemetery of an ancient tribe, and the coffin had originally contained the remains of a warrior from that tribe. However, over time, desert erosion and raging storms gradually buried the cemetery beneath the sand.
This yellowed piece of paper was a will left by the warrior before his death, recording his wishes and instructions. Xiao Yi lamented the ruthlessness of time and the fragility of life, and was also shocked by this unexpected discovery.
He carefully placed the paper back into the coffin and closed the lid again. He knew that this desert still hid countless unknown secrets and stories, waiting to be discovered by those who were destined to find them.
Xiao Yi got back into the car and started the engine. He looked at the endless sea of sand in the distance, his heart filled with anticipation and courage. He knew that his desert journey had just begun, and there were more challenges and adventures waiting for him to explore and experience.
Xiao Yi stood in front of the ancient coffin, his heart filled with doubts and curiosity. He looked at the stone forest in front of him. Every stone seemed to hide unfathomable secrets, and the appearance of the coffin added a bit of mystery.
He knew that there must be traces of people in this stone forest, and that their identities and secrets might be hidden in these seemingly ordinary stones. However, uncovering these secrets was not easy.
Xiao Yi began to carefully observe every stone in the stone forest, trying to find clues from it. He found that these stones were not piled up randomly, but arranged according to a certain pattern, as if it were an ancient formation or mark.
