A kiss
Qi Yanxuan gasped for breath and collapsed in Shen Yanqing's arms.
Chen Yanqing looked at the person in his arms with tenderness in his eyes. "Ah Xuan, I like you. I don't know when it started. Maybe it was the first time I saw you, or every night you snuggled into my arms, or maybe it was the time we've been together all this time. Can we be together?"
"Okay!" Qi Yanxuan hugged the person next to him tightly. His heart felt like it was filled with honey. He finally had his own lover.
He used to see other people in pairs and he also wanted to have a boyfriend, but he had never met someone who made his heart beat faster, and he was unwilling to settle. Now that he has met someone, he will definitely protect him, even if it is the end of the world. With his space, he will not let him suffer in the future.
That night, the two people who expressed their feelings slept in each other's arms.
next day
Everyone packed up their luggage early and set off. They would be able to get out of the desert today. Everyone walked hurriedly as if they were riding on Hot Wheels.
They were really scared by this desert. They encountered scorpions, sandstorms and quicksand. Everyone was afraid of encountering other strange things, so they tacitly quickened their pace.
As the sun set, everyone finally walked out of this man-eating desert.
Looking back, some people silently shed tears. Their loved ones have been left here forever, without even a tombstone. They are deeply aware of the difficulties of this journey of escape. Perhaps they themselves don't know where they will fall, but life must go on, and no one can stop...

After setting up camp in a rocky area, the group scattered in search of water.
The village chief struck the gong and said, "Except for those who remain at the camp, everyone else should go find a water source. Whoever finds one should come back and inform the villagers!"
“Dad, you stay here and rest. Axuan and I will go find some water.” Shen Yanqing looked at Shen Yanshan and said.
“Okay, go ahead, I’ll set up the tent here.” Shen Yanshan waved at the two of them.
Qi Yanxuan and Shen Yanqing came to a bumpy rocky area with small pits everywhere. There should have been water before the drought, but now it hasn't rained for several months and it has dried up long ago.
"Brother Shen, let me perform a magic trick for you?" Qi Yanxuan looked at Shen Yanqing with an unfathomable smile on his face.
Shen Yanqing looked at Qi Yanxuan with a puzzled look on his face.
“Come here!” Qi Yanxuan took Shen Yanqing’s hand and came to a big pit.
While Shen Yanqing was still immersed in the sweetness of Qi Yanxuan holding his hand, he saw Qi Yanxuan squatting beside the puddle and stretching out his right hand with his palm facing down, and a steady stream of water poured from his palm into the puddle.
This water was drawn from the creek by Qi Yanxuan using his mind.
Shen Yanqing looked at Qi Yanxuan in shock. He knew that Qi Yanxuan could always take out some things he had never seen before from his bag, but he didn't expect that Qi Yanxuan could actually turn water out of thin air.
After being shocked, he began to worry. If someone with bad intentions knew about Qi Yanxuan's ability, they would definitely capture him.
Water and food are the most important things at any time, let alone in this year of famine.
Shen Yanqing didn't dare to think about it anymore, and hugged Qi Yanxuan, his hands trembling slightly. "This trick is very nice, but you can't perform it for other people in the future, okay?" Shen Yanqing whispered softly in Qi Yanxuan's ear.
"Okay! I'll just show it to you!" Qi Yanxuan noticed the other person's inner uneasiness and comforted him softly.
He knew that Shen Yanqing was worried that he would be in danger after being discovered. Although he was overthinking it, no one in this world could be his opponent. Even if an army came, he could come and go freely. The sixth-level superpower was not something that ordinary people could contend with.
But he was still very touched. He had always been alone before, and it felt so good to have someone care about him!
Qi Yanxuan came out of Shen Yanqing's arms, the emotion in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow "You go and notify the villagers to come and fetch water, I will fill two more puddles."
"Okay! Here's the water bag for you. There will be a lot of people around later, so fill it up first." Shen Yanqing handed the water bag to Qi Yanxuan and kissed his forehead devoutly, as if kissing some rare treasure, and then turned around and went back to inform the villagers.
An incense stick later, more than 30 villagers came one after another. It turned out that the village chief was afraid that the main group would scramble for water after knowing about it, so he arranged more than 30 people to fetch water and then distribute it to the villagers. I have to say that the village chief was very thoughtful.
"Yan Xuan, you guys are really awesome. We couldn't find any water when we went out, but you and Yan Qing found it as soon as you came out!" Shen Kui said to Qi Yanxuan with a carefree smile.
Youqing agreed after hearing this, "Yes! Yan Xuan is really lucky. It's because of him that we can get out of the desert safely. Otherwise, our village would have been the same as the other teams. Who knows how many people would have died!"
The others also agreed, chatted with each other and ran to fetch water.
"Axuan is indeed lucky. People have praised him for his good luck since he was a child. When I went to his house when I was a child, he would always pick up money when we went out." Shen Yanqing explained to everyone seriously.
Qi Yanxuan touched his nose and said nothing, thinking that Brother Shen was quite good at making up stories.
After everyone filled up all the water containers, they left. There was still a little bit of water left in each pit, but Qi Yanxuan didn't care. Whoever found it would be lucky.
Back to camp
Everyone was grateful to Qi Yanxuan and sent gifts one after another. One family gave a handful of noodles, another family gave a handful of pickles. Although the gifts were not much, they represented everyone's thoughts. No one wanted their efforts to be taken for granted.
A few days ago, people in the desert were afraid to waste water and cooked everything raw. Now that they have water, they can finally eat cooked food, so they all started cooking.
***
Five days later, the team arrived at the official road.
I saw a large number of fleeing troops on the official road, with many corpses on both sides, swarms of green-headed flies flying in the air, and densely packed maggots wriggling on the corpses (the scene is too horrifying, so I'll just imagine it myself).
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
The sounds of vomiting came one after another, and everyone was so disgusted by the scene that they couldn't stand up straight.
Qi Yanxuan hurriedly said to the villagers: "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose with cloths. Don't touch the corpses. If you have wounds, wrap them with cloths and don't let flies touch them!"
After speaking, he reached into his backpack and took out three masks from the space, handed them to Shen Yanqing and Shen Yanshan, and taught them how to wear the masks.
After hearing this, everyone took cloths to cover their mouths and noses and bandage the wounds.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these corpses?" asked a woman.
"I'm not sure, but these large corpses are exposed to the air and rotting, and there are so many flies and maggots. I don't know how long they have been dead. I'm afraid there is a plague, so it's safer to cover them up," Qi Yanxuan replied.
Everyone became nervous when they heard about the plague.
Seeing everyone's nervousness, the village chief came out to comfort them, saying, "Yan Xuan also said it's possible. Let's just follow Yan Xuan's advice and cover our mouths, noses, and wounds and get through quickly."
After hearing the words of the village chief, the crowd gradually calmed down, and the village chief led the villagers to quickly hurry on their way.
As they sped along, they soon joined the large group ahead, and no one dared to look at the corpses on the roadside.
