Shang Beikai casually found a topic and asked Mi Jiti: "Hey, Mi Jiti, what do you want to do when you grow up!"

At his age, Shang was very fond of antiques and admired his grandfather, so he decided that he must become a great antique collector like his grandfather.

When little Jimmy heard someone ask about his dreams, his dark eyes were full of shining, and he said excitedly: "I just want to go on adventures, to all kinds of adventures!" But my father disagreed, he hoped that I would inherit his small restaurant in the future, and it would be interesting to hear other people's adventure stories often in the future. ”

Shang Beikai patted Mi Jiti on the shoulder and said, "I didn't expect you to be so pitiful, you don't even support your dreams, it's different from me." I can tell you, my grandfather is very supportive of my dreams and will help me achieve my dreams, so I usually like grandpa. ”

Little Jimmy looked envious and didn't say anything more.

Shang Beikai asked Xu Qingliu again: "Eh, Brother Xu Qingliu, did you have any dreams at that time?"

Xu Qingliu looked into the distance with a pair of deep eyes, as if he was recalling something: "My original dream was to be able to go to school well, find a good job after graduation, earn a lot of money, and let my grandfather and mother live a good life." ”

Xu Qingliu's wish is very ordinary, but it is also the most real.

Shang Muli couldn't help but look at Xu Qingliu, and said lightly, "You did it." ”

Xu Qingliu looked back at Shang Muli and nodded at her, tears faintly flashing in the corners of his eyes.

The first dinner in the desert ended in a fairly nice atmosphere.

Seeing that everyone had eaten about the same, Xu Qingliu patted his clothes and stood up and said:

"Let's take turns keeping vigil with Xiao Kai tonight, and Ran Ran and Mijiti go to bed. ”

Shang Beikai has always felt that he is a mature man, and of course he has the responsibility to protect women and children, so he has no opinion on Xu Qingliu's arrangement.

But Shang Muli disagreed, and said: "You two keep vigil, how can you sleep enough, or I will come to the vigil with you, Mijti is still young and needs to grow his body, so he doesn't have to keep watch." ”

Listening to Shang Muli say this, Mijiti didn't agree anymore, he was obviously already a man, why did Shang Muli Sister and Brother Xu Qingliu still treat him as a child, it's too annoying.

So he objected: "I am also against it, and I also ask to keep vigil with you, I am no longer a child." ”

But Xu Qingliu frowned and said, "The objection is invalid, so it is decided, Ms. Shang Muli and the child Mijiti must go to sleep." ”

Xu Qingliu specifically emphasized that Shang Muli was a girl, and Mijit was a child, so they needed to rest well.

After saying that, regardless of what they were saying, he strode to the tent and sprinkled some white powder around it.

Shang Beikai looked at the atmosphere a little embarrassed, and deliberately diverted the topic, it just so happened that he didn't remember that he had prepared this white powder before coming, so he asked, "What is this?"

Shang Muli was still angry, so he didn't answer Shang Beikai.

But Xu Qingliu was kind enough to explain to him: "This is a medicine powder to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and it is necessary to go camping." When I first looked up some information about the desert, it was said on the Internet that there was a high chance of encountering pit vipers in the desert, so I prepared a little. ”

Although Mijiti is young, he doesn't need to know anything about the desert Mu Li and Xu Qingliu, he nodded seriously and said: "That's right, I often hear those who often go to the desert say that there will be pit vipers in the desert, especially since we have just warmed the fire, and it is more likely to attract the attention of radiation, so Xu Qingliu's concern is very reasonable." ”

Shang Beikai was a little embarrassed, he didn't know such a simple truth, even the little Mijiti was not as good, it was so embarrassing.

So he said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Xu Qingliu, I'm stupid." ”

Xu Qingliu didn't care: "It's okay, it's normal not to know." ”

After Xu Qingliu arranged the surroundings, he persuaded Shang Muli, Shang Yukai and Mi Jiti to rest, after all, there may be more difficult challenges tomorrow, and it is most important to take care of your energy first.

The desert at night is not like the golden that cannot be seen at a glance during the day, but it is pitch black, and the thick black curtain covers the sky, but fortunately, you can still see the sparse sand willows in the distance through the black curtain. The wind at night blows very strongly, like a ghost crying as sharp and piercing, with the black curtain, it makes people feel like a ghost in Huangquan, terrifying and terrifying.

But Xu Qingliu was not afraid of such a desert, he surrounded the fire alone, cheered up the spirit, and looked at the surrounding grass and trees, for fear that something would happen.

Fortunately, although there was a lot of wind in the first half of the night, there were no particularly dangerous situations.

Xu Qingliu saw that it was almost midnight, so he quietly walked into the tent and woke up Shang Beikai, "Xiao Kai!

Shang Beikai slept late last night, because he was always worried about going to the vigil, so as soon as Xu Qingliu patted him, he woke up.

"Xiao Kai, it's a shift change, you should be careful outside, if there is any situation, you will wake us up loudly. ”

Xu Qingliu was worried that this kid had not kept vigil all night and had no experience, so he was not at ease with his request.

Shang Beikai was completely awake at this time, patted Xu Qingliu's hand, and said, "It's okay, Brother Xu Qingliu, I know, I will definitely inform you if there is a situation, don't worry." ”

Xu Qingliu nodded and let him go out alone.

The wind outside is still howling, Shang Beikai has encountered such a harsh living environment for the first time since he was a child, and he can't help but be afraid, but he has been constantly emboldening himself, he is so big, he is still afraid of the wind, if he lets his sister know, he will probably laugh at him again.

But the wind in the desert blew louder and stranger, blowing up the yellow sand on the ground, and the plants with shallow roots.

Even if Xu Qingliu lacks experience in desert survival, he knows that the wind is blowing, and it is estimated that even the tent will be blown down, but Shang Muli They are still sleeping at the moment.

Shang Beikai hesitated for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Sister, Brother Xu Qingliu, wake up, the wind is getting stronger and stronger." ”

Xu Qingliu actually didn't fall asleep at all when he lay down, and he also found that the wind seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, but when he was guarding, no matter how strong the wind was, it couldn't threaten his tent, he originally thought that even if it was tomorrow morning, the wind might not be able to blow away the tent.

Xu Qingliu, who heard Shang Beikai's voice, didn't dare to delay, and quickly put on their coats and hurriedly ran out.

Feeling the wind outside, he knew that Shang Beikai was really not talking nonsense, and if it went on like this, it was estimated that a sandstorm would break out here soon.

Shang Muli immediately said: "Hurry up and pack your things, we will rush overnight." ”

If everyone works together, they are very fast, and in a short time they pack up their things and walk on foot on their shoulders, and they are racing against the sandstorm, which is not a matter of words.

The three of them braved the cold of the desert, carried a lot of luggage, and walked all the way, also silently.

Until the Taiqing Stream emerged from the horizon and could no longer feel the wind and sand.

Xu Qingliu was worried that Shang Muli and Mijiti couldn't stand such an overnight rush, so he asked: "How do you feel, do you need to rest in place for a while on the road?" ”

Shang Muli The three of them were nothing, they didn't feel very tired, but when they thought of Xu Qingliu, they said, "You only rested for a while last night, you are the one who should rest." ”

Xu Qingliu shook his head and said, "I'm a big man, it's okay to sleep a little less, mainly because of you." ”

Shang Muli disagreed, and said resolutely: "No! You must listen to me this time, you were broken for a while last night, now immediately set up camp in place, let Xu Qingliu sleep enough for a morning, and we will continue to act in the afternoon." ”

Almost no other people have any opinions, but Xu Qingliu is unwilling: "We don't have much time, we will be less dangerous if we find the oasis a day earlier, isn't it just sleeping, what a pity to waste a morning." ”

Xu Qingliu was unwilling to waste this precious time for himself.

But Shang Muli didn't want to say more to him, so he directly ordered Shang Beikai and Mijiti: "Just do as I say, go and camp quickly." ”

Xu Qingliu saw that Shang Muli was so insistent that he couldn't stop it, so he gave up and let them go.

He couldn't let Shang Beikai and Mijiti do their own work, so he walked up to them and began to help them set up camp, and in the process, he raised his head from time to time to peek at Shang Muli, like a child who had done something wrong.

Shang Muli was very angry, although he knew that Xu Qingliu was peeking at him, but he didn't look at Xu Qingliu, and he didn't want to talk to the person who didn't think about himself at all.

Soon the tent was set up, Shang Muli drove Xu Qingliu and Shang Beikai into sleep, and like Xu Qingliu last night, he sprinkled anti-snake, insect and rat ant powder around the tent, and finally took Mijiti around the tent and picked up some firewood.

Shang Muli wanted to get Xu Qingliu and them something to eat, but there was nothing in the desert, she remembered that when they came, they had prepared some necessary dry food for the march, which was quick hot fried rice, so she rummaged through her luggage, took out four bags, heated them and put them aside, waiting for the two to wake up and eat together.

Mijiti looked at Shang Muli boredly and said, "Sister Shang Muli, don't be angry with Brother Xu Qingliu, he didn't mean to make you angry." ”

Shang Muli watched Mijiti plead for Xu Qingliu like a little adult, and couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yo, at a young age, you know how to plead, then let me ask you, do you know why my sister is angry with Brother Xu Qingliu?"

Mijiti thought for a while, and said in a tangled voice: "Sister, why are you angry, Brother Xu Qingliu doesn't seem to have done anything bad." ”
