Over a month later.
Two missing persons had finally returned to Jiangcheng.
Returning to the city from the wilderness, looking at the traffic on the roads, listening to the car horns, and the familiar street scenes gave them a feeling of being worlds apart.
On this trip, the farther they went, the more they let go of themselves, as if they had completely forgotten everything about the city.
They ran wildly across the golden Gobi desert, entered the uninhabited areas of Kekexili, and watched from afar as the Tibetan antelopes drank by the lakeside.
Free from the shackles of the secular world, the things they once pursued lost their color in front of nature. The physical scarcity and fatigue could not outweigh the spiritual fulfillment.
It was more accurate to say that Jiang He had taken him on an adventure than him taking Jiang He out to have fun.
There were twists and dangers along the way, and thinking back on them still gave them a bit of a scare.
"We're back."
