What's your feeling at the beginning? The aloof lawyer is crying!

As we walked, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature in the desert gradually rose.

Lin Wanyi carefully noticed the children's red faces from the sun, and quickly took out sun hats from her backpack and put them on the children one by one, saying, "Come on, babies, put on your hats. Don't let the sun get us burned. Protect your little faces."

The children laughed and let Lin Wanyi play with them.

When they were about to take a short break in the desert, Lin Wanyi took out a wet towel she had prepared in advance from her backpack and gently wiped the sweat off the children's faces and necks. She said softly, "Oh, look at all the sweat. You must be exhausted. You will feel better if you wipe the sweat off."

The children enjoyed Lin Wanyi's caring care and murmured, "Thank you, mom. It's so cool."

In the evening, the setting sun cast a golden afterglow over the desert.

Lin Wanyi and the children collected those small shells with strange shapes and colorful stones. When the children found something good-looking, they would immediately run to Lin Wanyi, holding up the "treasure" in their hands and shouting: "Mom, mom, look at what I picked up, it's so beautiful!"

Lin Wanyi would always take it with a smile, look at it carefully, and then praise: "Wow, baby, it's amazing. It's really beautiful. How about we take it back as a souvenir?" The children nodded happily when they heard it.

As night fell, they found a relatively safe place in the desert to set up camp. Lin Wanyi first laid out sleeping bags and blankets in the tent and asked the children to come in and feel whether they were comfortable.

A child asked curiously: "Mom, can we see the stars at night?" Lin Wanyi smiled and replied: "Of course, baby, wait a minute, we can see lots of stars when we lie here, it's so beautiful."

After Jiang Tingyan and the children set up the tent, Lin Wanyi took out some snacks from her backpack and shared them with the children. Seeing them eating happily, she also said with a smile on her face: "You have played for a whole day, eat something delicious to replenish your energy."

Afterwards, Jiang Tingyan pointed to the starry sky and told the children an ancient legend about stars in the desert. The children lay on the sand, looked up at the starry sky, and listened with fascination.

Lin Wanyi sat next to the children, gently stroking their heads from time to time. When the children did not quite understand certain plots in the legend, Lin Wanyi would explain it to them again in a more understandable way so that the children could better immerse themselves in this mysterious starry sky story.

During this desert trip, Lin Wanyi's repeated interactions with the children allowed the children to feel the charm of the desert while also deeply experiencing their mother's care and warmth. The family left behind unforgettable and beautiful memories in this desert.

The next morning, the sun gently sprinkled on the desert, adding a soft halo to this golden world. In the tent, the children were still smiling sweetly in their sleep, perhaps dreaming about stars and shells.

Lin Wanyi woke up early and tiptoed out of the tent for fear of waking the children.

Jiang Tingyan also stood up soon after, and the two smiled at each other and began to prepare for the new day.

Lin Wanyi took out a few packets of instant coffee from her backpack and started to brew it on the stove. The aroma of coffee gradually spread. Jiang Tingyan went to check the vehicle and equipment to make sure everything was normal.

Soon, the children woke up one after another and climbed out of the tent attracted by the aroma of coffee. "Wow, it smells so good, what is this, mom?" a child asked curiously.

Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "My dears, this is coffee. Come and try it. You will feel more energetic after drinking it." She poured a small cup for each of the two children, added the right amount of sugar and milk, and watched them frown as they drank the slightly bitter yet sweet coffee. She couldn't help laughing. After breakfast, they decided to go to a mysterious place deep in the desert, where it is said that there are ancient rock paintings. The children were very excited and kept asking questions along the way.

"Dad, what do those rock paintings look like? Are there any animals we know?" Lin Ruize asked with his eyes wide open.

Jiang Tingyan smiled and replied: "Baby, you will know when the time comes. There may be many patterns that you can't imagine."

Lin Wanyi reminded the children to be careful and follow the adults closely.

After walking for a while, the sun gradually rose and the temperature rose accordingly. Lin Wanyi handed the children water bottles from time to time so that they could replenish their water.

Lin Yuelin was also a little tired and slowed down her pace. Lin Wanyi hurried over, took her hand and said, "Baby, tell mom if you are tired. Come, mom will hold your hand." Xiaowanzi nodded obediently, held Lin Wanyi's hand tightly, and had the strength to continue moving forward.

Finally, they came to the area with rock paintings. The children opened their mouths in amazement when they saw the mysterious patterns carved on the rocks.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Mom, does this look like a horse?"

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan accompanied the children, carefully viewing each rock painting and explaining to them the possible meanings they contained.

Jiang Tingyan pointed to a rock painting of hunting and said, "Children, look, this is how people lived in the desert in the past. They had to go hunting to get food."

The children listened attentively and asked their questions from time to time. Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan patiently answered them one by one.

After viewing the rock paintings, they found a place nearby to rest and have lunch. Lin Wanyi took out the prepared sandwiches, fruits and self-heating rice and shared them with everyone. The children ate with gusto and shared their feelings about the rock paintings while eating.

After lunch, they continued to explore the desert. Suddenly, Lin Ruize shouted excitedly: "Look, mom, there is a small sand dune over there. It looks very interesting!"

Lin Yuelin heard it and ran over quickly. Jiang Tingyan and Lin Wanyi shouted at them to be careful. The children ran to the sand dunes and began to slide down from top to bottom. Laughter and cheers echoed in the desert.

Seeing the children having so much fun, Lin Wanyi couldn't help but walk over and slide down the sand dune with them. Jiang Tingyan was holding a camera to record this happy moment.

After playing for a while, the children sat around Lin Wanyi and listened to her talk about desert plants.

Lin Wanyi pointed to a cactus nearby and said, "My dears, look at this cactus. Although it has thorns, it is very powerful. It can survive in such a dry desert because it can store a lot of water in its body." (End of this chapter)
