Chapter 9: The Puzzle (1)
The scorching sun was in the sky, and I was walking alone in the vast desert, and my extreme thirst had exhausted my physical strength and my mind was in a trance. Where's the oasis? I looked around, hoping to find something, even a mirage that would cheer me up. Disappointingly, my eyes were all around me with a patch of yellow. I had no choice but to drag my heavy body and continue to walk on the ramblings.
I was dying, I felt like my consciousness could no longer control my body, and I couldn't even pull out my feet that were stuck in the sand. Water, all I have in my head right now is water. "Senior sister, do you want to drink water?" Yuan Zhao appeared in front of me at some point, holding a huge water bag in his hand, and looked at me with a grin. "To—" I squeezed a word out of my smoking throat and staggered over to him.
"Hurry up, the water bag is going to break!" Yuan Zhao shouted at me, and I followed the voice, and sure enough, the water bag in his hand suddenly cracked, and gurgling water flowed out. I had to move as best I could in his direction, but no matter how hard I tried, the distance between us didn't necessarily shorten, the seams in the hydration bladders grew bigger and bigger, and I could even hear the sound of rushing water. "No!" I threw myself forward, hoping to catch the last bit of water. Seeing that it was about to arrive, Yuan Zhao suddenly disappeared, and I threw myself into the air and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ouch!" I made a "thump" as soon as my head hit the ground, and I couldn't help but get up. Isn't this a desert, why is the ground so hard? I touched my forehead that had been hurt, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that Yuan Zhao's two big feet were standing in front of me. Oh, it was a dream, I just fell out of bed. My head is still a little groggy, I haven't woken up from last night's wine, my throat seems to be roasted by fire, and my throat hurts.
I stumbled to my feet, sat down at the messy table, picked up the teapot and drank it. A pot of herbal tea went down, and I finally felt a little sober. Alas, this wine really can't be drunk too much, not only is it uncomfortable for me, but it also brings Yuan Zhao with me. Thinking of Yuan Zhao, he glanced back, the kid was still sleeping at this time, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth.
Seeing that he was sleepy, my head was about to kowtow unconsciously, I was going to sleep on my stomach on the table for a while, and between being half asleep and half awake, I suddenly thought of a serious problem: I shared the same bed with Yuan Zhao last night?! However, I still regret it in my heart, it's over, this girl's ladylike image is all over now, it's just that I'm drunk, and I still sleep with other people's handsome guys, selling cakes, and I blush when I think about this plot.
No, I held my head and carefully recalled the details of last night, and vaguely remembered that it seemed that I had asked Yuan Zhao to sleep in the bed, saying that I was going to sleep on the floor. Looking at Yuan Zhao, who was still asleep, I thought to myself: Seeing that he slept so soundly, he shouldn't know that I slept with him last night, right? I got up from my seat lightly and crept down on the bunk beside me. I secretly prayed in my heart that Yuan Zhao didn't know anything about last night.
Although the sky was still gray in the east, the neighing of horses and the sound of people talking could be heard from time to time outside, and it seemed that many people had already set off. The thought of having to go back soon made me feel a little lost, as if I had lost something. Looking back on the way to Gangneung, although I was busy all day long, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and I was exhausted, but thinking about the interesting things I encountered and the people of all shapes, I felt that it was worth it no matter how hard and tired I was.
I was thinking about it when there was a sudden movement on the bed, and Yuan Zhao wanted to wake up, and I secretly screamed in my heart! Fortunately, my aunt and grandmother woke up a few minutes early, otherwise I don't know how much of a joke I would have made! I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, but my ears were pointed up, paying close attention to Yuan Zhao's every move. "Squeak", Yuan Zhao seemed to move the bench and sat down, and then there was the crisp sound of the teapot hitting the table and the sound of Yuan Zhao drinking water. I squinted and saw that the good fellow, sure enough, was as lazy as Miss Ben, and he didn't use the teacup to drink directly to the spout, and the two of us took the spout as a medium and kissed each other.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhao really wanted to find me lying on the ground, got up and walked over, and I quickly closed my squinted eyes again. "Senior sister, wake up. Yuan Zhao called me softly while pushing me. "What the hell, I still have to sleep!" I reprimanded him by pretending to be asleep and being woken up. "Oh, so you got drunk last night, too. Yuan Zhao quipped. How can I be laughed at by him for not drinking enough! As soon as I thought of this, I sat up: "Who said that I was drunk, I was sober." ”
Yuan Zhao was obviously stunned by the huge contrast between my actions before and after, and sat there stunned and looked at the sick cat in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, it became a tiger. "What do you see, I've never seen a beautiful woman!" I was uncomfortable being stared at by him, Yuan Zhao also realized his gaffe, and changed the topic with a smile: "Senior sister, I had a dream last night, it was very interesting, do you want to hear it?" I looked at his smiling face, and pretended to be calm and asked, "What, what kind of dream?" "Hehe, do you want to hear it?" Yuan Zhao's rhetorical question made my heart furious, he wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night and find the two of us sleeping in the same bed, and now he wants to tease me, right? Thinking of this, my face was hot, and I secretly complained in my heart: After all calculations, it has finally been planted in your hands.
I stretched out my hand to stop him from the mouth he was about to speak and warned him: "Okay, stop, you just treat it as a dream, don't tell anyone else." "No, I'm going to tell you!" Yuan Zhao still didn't give up after breaking free. Oh my God, do you have to make fun of me to be satisfied?" I put my hands behind my ears and shouted to the sky, "I don't listen—"
Seeing me in such pain, Yuan Zhao seemed to be surprised, and was stunned for a moment and said, "Okay, then forget it." "I finally escaped, I let out a long sigh. "I didn't dream of you, what are you excited about. Yuan Zhao's whispering reached my ears. Didn't he want to play tricks on me? I grabbed Yuan Zhao, who was about to get up, and said, "Senior brother, tell me about the dream you had, it just so happens that I also had a dream to tell you!" "Don't you want to hear it?" Yuan Zhao was surprised by my reaction. "Hee-hee, don't you regret it again!" my answer made Yuan Zhao regain his interest in storytelling, and sat cross-legged on the ground and talked to me.
