The children were curious and wanted to touch it, but Lin Wanyi quickly stopped them and said, "Be careful, its thorns will prick your hands. We can just watch from the side."

In the evening, the sunset glow in the sky was like a gorgeous painting. They decided to go back to the camp. On the way, Jiang Tingyan found a small lizard. He gently grabbed its tail and put it in the palm of his hand to show the children.

"Wow, so cute, what is this, dad?" The children came over excitedly.

Jiang Tingyan smiled and said, "This is a little lizard. It is also a resident of the desert. It runs very fast."

Lin Wanyi reminded the children that they could only watch but not harm the little lizard, and that they should put it back into the desert after watching it. The children nodded sensibly and watched the little lizard crawling around in Jiang Tingyan's palm carefully.

After returning to the camp, Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan began to prepare dinner, while the children helped to collect firewood. Although they did not collect much firewood, they worked very hard.

Dinner was a barbecue. Jiang Tingyan skillfully grilled skewers of meat and vegetables, while Lin Wanyi prepared the seasoning and tableware. The children sat around, watching the barbecue sizzling on the fire, and kept asking, "Dad, when can we eat?"

Jiang Tingyan smiled and said, "It's almost done, babies, just wait a little longer."

Finally, the barbecue was ready. Lin Wanyi distributed the food to the children. The children ate happily and kept saying it was delicious.

After dinner, they sat outside the tent and looked at the starry sky. Jiang Tingyan told the children a fairy tale about life in a small town on the edge of the desert. The children listened with great interest and exclaimed from time to time.

Lin Wanyi leaned on Jiang Tingyan's shoulder, listening quietly and feeling the warm atmosphere.

This day's trip to the desert gave the children more new experiences and gains, and also deepened the relationship between them and their parents. In this magical desert, they continued to write beautiful memories as a family.

The third day was their last day in the desert. Everyone was reluctant to leave, so they decided to explore some places they had never been to before.

In the morning, they packed up the camp and set out for a desert area they had never been to before. The children were still in high spirits, talking and laughing along the way.

Lin Wanyi noticed that the weather seemed a bit gloomy today. She was worried that it might rain, so she took out raincoats from her backpack and distributed them to the children, saying, "My dears, the weather is not very good today. It might rain. Put on your raincoats and don't get wet."

The children put on their raincoats obediently and continued to follow the adults.

After walking for a while, it really started to drizzle. This is a rare situation in the desert. The children were excited but also a little nervous, after all, it was quite novel to encounter rain in the desert.

Jiang Tingyan comforted the children, saying, "Don't worry, babies, the rain won't last long, and we have raincoats, so we won't get wet."

Lin Wanyi took the children to a slightly low-lying place to shelter from the rain, and also took the opportunity to tell the children about the characteristics and impacts of rain in the desert.

"Dear children, do you know? Rain in the desert is not like what we see at home. It rarely rains here, and when it rains, a lot of sand will turn into mud, and the road will become very difficult to walk on."

After hearing this, the children looked around curiously and found that some sand had indeed turned into mud under the action of rain. After the rain stopped, they continued to move forward. This time they found the ruins of an abandoned small village. The children ran in excitedly to explore, and Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan followed closely behind, reminding them to pay attention to safety.

In the village ruins, the children found some old pottery fragments and some rusty farm tools. Jiang Tingyan picked up a piece of pottery fragments and told the children the story of the village, imagining what the people who once lived here were like.

The children listened attentively, as if they could see the lively scene of the past through the fragments and farm tools.

Lin Wanyi guided the children to imagine what it would feel like if they lived in that time.

After leaving the village ruins, they found a small stream nearby. Although the water flow was not very strong, it was still a pleasant surprise to see a stream in the desert.

The children couldn't wait to run to the stream and play in the water. Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan watched from the side and reminded the children not to get their clothes and shoes wet because they still had to hurry.

The children played by the stream for a while, picked up some beautiful stones, and then followed the adults back.

After returning to the camp, they began to pack up and prepare to leave the desert. The children were a little reluctant to leave, and so were Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan.

Lin Wanyi said to the children: "My dears, this desert trip is about to end, but we will have many good memories. We can come again next time."

After hearing this, the children nodded one after another. Although they were reluctant, they knew they had to leave.

Jiang Tingyan loaded all the equipment into the car. Everyone took one last look at the desert, then got in the car and slowly drove away.

On the way home, the children were so tired that they fell asleep. Lin Wanyi leaned on Jiang Tingyan's shoulder and looked at the children's sleeping faces, feeling relieved. This desert trip not only allowed the children to feel the charm of the desert, but also made the family closer. Those beautiful memories will always remain in their hearts.

The car was driving smoothly on the road, and the scenery outside the window kept changing, gradually transitioning from the vast desert to the green suburbs.

Lin Wanyi gently stroked the children's hair, her eyes full of tenderness. She turned to look at Jiang Tingyan, and they smiled at each other. They saw the satisfaction and happiness brought by this desert trip in each other's eyes.

After catching the evening flight, the children were still a little sleepy when they returned home, but they became excited again when they saw the familiar rooms and toys.

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan began to busy themselves with sorting out the "treasures" they brought back from the desert - small shells of strange shapes, colorful stones, and pottery fragments picked up at the village ruins, and carefully placed them on a special display stand.

That evening, the family sat around the dining table and ate the sumptuous dinner prepared by Lin Wanyi. The children chattered about the fun of their trip to the desert, sometimes talking about how much fun it was to slide on the sand dunes, and sometimes showing off the most beautiful stones they had picked up.

Lin Wanyi and Jiang Tingyan listened patiently, occasionally interjecting a few words, and the table was filled with laughter. (End of this chapter)
