Volume 1: The Adventures of Kunlun Chapter 17 A Night of Despair

The next morning, the red sun passed through the misty sand, the cold of last night slowly receded, human beings were happy, and every inch of the skin of the body was moisturized by warmth, the light hit their faces, they opened their eyes in a daze, ready to start the endless journey of the day.

He took a sip of water with great cherishment, supported his weak body, and moved towards the distance.

There are many tombstones that seem to be endless, standing in the middle of the desert, which is a beautiful scenery.

So they walked all the way, and the sun also walked all the way, hanging above their heads from east to noon, and slowly descending to the west, fortunately leaving them a very beautiful sunset.

Professor Qiu watched the compass spin chaotically and intermittently, and reluctantly put the compass in his bag.

As early as 1983, the archaeological team that came in to investigate concluded that there were many magnetites in Death Valley, which interfered with the geomagnetic field, so the compass was useless.

". The wind and sand blew into his mouth, and Gu Kun spat at the mouth. He sat down, the scorching sun like steamed buns, he took out the water bag, took the last drop of water with his tongue, and threw the water bag aside when he was done.

Huang Cheng took out his last bean paste cake, drank less than half a bottle of water, and screwed the cap on it after only taking a sip.

And Professor Qiu was supported by Yang Jing, and the little girl's face was red, as if she had been burned by the sun and scarred.

"Huang Cheng, give the professor a sip of water. "She has a weak request.

But Huang Cheng ignored her and held the water bottle tightly in his arms.

"Leave a bite for someone. Haichuan snatched the fat man's water bottle and gave it to Fang Jingxuan, and didn't forget to glare at him threateningly.

Fang Jingxuan was obviously very thirsty, and he didn't pay attention to the fat man with a grudge on his face, and took two sips and thought about it before stopping.

"Here you go!" Although she was still very thirsty, she still handed the water to Haichuan, he knew that Haichuan had been taking care of them all the way, whether it was food and water, he had given them everything, and he had hardly left much of his own, as long as the fat man was a nervous guy who didn't notice it.

"Thank you. Haichuan said slowly and took out two packs of compressed biscuits from his pocket, this is his last food, as a cycling enthusiast, when preparing food, he usually prepares compressed biscuits, but he will not eat until the last moment. Because compressed biscuits have higher calories than ordinary puffed food because of compression, but the taste itself is not very good, if you don't drink water to eat, it will be dry and difficult to swallow, so many cycling teammates often buy compressed biscuits and throw them away without eating them in the end.

He divided a pack of biscuits between the two of them, keeping a little for himself.

"This is the last food, and if we don't find water tonight, we may not survive tomorrow. He said to the fat man, who had always been hippie and smiling, and now he looked lonely, and hunger, thirst, and heat made him look weak, and his lips were white and peeling, and his face was covered with black spots.

"I'm guilty that I shouldn't have brought you here. He got up and turned his back to Fang Jingxuan, and walked towards Shang Bin and them after speaking.

"Do you still have food?" Haichuan asked weakly, in fact, he hadn't eaten anything in the past two days, and he couldn't stand on his feet at the moment.

"No, we're about to starve to death!" Gu Kun stood in front of Shang Bin, as if he looked at everyone with hatred on his face.

"This half bottle of water is for you. Shang Bin spread out the bag, which contained a bottle of canned food, which should be military, as well as a full water bag and half a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you!" Haichuan bent down slightly to express his gratitude, in this kind of moment of life and death, people are selfish, how can they take care of others.

Yang Jing used her clothes to lay down for Professor Qiu, and she looked at Professor Qiu with a complicated expression.

Haichuan took the water to Yang Jing and motioned for her to let Professor Qiu take a sip quickly. Professor Qiu slowly opened his eyes when he heard the voice, his white beard and haggard face, and even his eyes could only be opened with force, like a terminally ill old man.

Then he divided a little of the compressed biscuits and put them in his pocket, and gave the rest to Yang Jing.

"Thank you. Yang Jing's eyes were full of gratitude, looking at Professor Qiu like this, she was anxious and didn't know when tears had flowed out.

"Ahem...... Professor Qiu coughed a few times, and she hurriedly handed him the clean clothes next to him.

Professor Qiu coughed more and more, Haichuan helped him up, Yang Jing took Professor Qiu's clothes that covered his mouth and coughed, and quickly wrapped it and threw it behind him.

"Professor Qiu, are you alright? Haichuan asked.

Professor Qiu shook his head.

At this time, he heard Huang Cheng on the other side crying, and kept saying "dead" in his mouth, he didn't listen to the repetition, his eyes wandered, as if the people in front of him had nothing to do with him.

"He's crazy, isn't he?" the fat man sneered, he was still in the mood to laugh at others, and he himself was no better.

"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but you look pretty much the same. Haichuan returned to them.

Stretched out the compressed biscuit that had just been placed in his pocket to Fang Jingxuan, and grabbed her hand when he saw that she wanted to refuse.

"It's none of your business, especially you. In his opinion, Fang Jingxuan had no reason to get involved in this matter.

Fang Jingxuan wanted to say something but didn't speak.

At night, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and because of hunger and thirst, the heat in the body is getting less and less, and the coldness of the body is becoming more and more obvious.

"Teacher, can I hold you, I'm so cold. The fat man suddenly said in the dark, if it was in normal times, Haichuan would definitely kick it over, but in the face of his weak voice and pleading inquiry, Haichuan said "um" and promised.

The fat man kept trembling and said with a smile: "Teacher, I've known you for so many years, and I finally slept with you." ”

"In the four years of college, I was kicked down as soon as I ran to your bed in the dormitory, and you didn't even let me sleep with you when I went to play and open a single room, and insisted on letting me sleep on the sofa, you are really shameless, the hotel is paid, and you dare to be so rampant, the most hateful thing is that you don't even give me a quilt, and you deliberately turn on the air conditioner so big......"

"You don't want to think that you snore like a pig, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I simply turn on the air conditioner to the coldest, I don't sleep and I don't let you sleep......"

As he spoke, the fat man lost his voice and slowly fell asleep.

Haichuan broke his hand and got up, wrapping all the clothes in his pocket around him.

When she came to Fang Jingxuan's side, she woke her up.

She leaned against the tombstone, just closed her eyes to recuperate, hunger, thirst and cold and the sound of wind and sand, she couldn't sleep at all, she was not as fat as a fat man.

"Do you think we're going to die here?"

"I don't know!"

Haichuan replied very simply.

"Are you cold?" he looked at her.

After a long time, Fang Jingxuan replied: "Cold." ”

Haichuan took off her coat regardless of whether she agreed to cover her or not, she was a little shirked, but where did Haichuan give her a chance.

After a while, Fang Jingxuan, who was next to him, clearly felt that Haichuan was trembling.

I don't know if I can get out alive, and she doesn't want to do so much, so she leans in and hugs Haichuan from behind.

Haichuan woke up in a daze, was stunned for a moment, turned around, and held her in his arms.

"You say that I am known by the school like this, will it be said that I have corrupted the teacher's morality?"

"Shhh Fang Jingxuan was like a child, quiet in his arms.

In this way, the two hugged each other in this cold and dark night.
