After a while, Li Zhoujian came over with scraps of wood and hay from the side.

Wei Ying looked at Li Zhoujian and said:

"Technician, isn't it clearly stipulated that you are not allowed to see Mars on the well site?

Li Zhoujian put the crumbs, wood, and hay on the ground,

As he lit the fire, he said:

"That's when it's time to produce, and it's strictly forbidden to fire. Now, the wells have been drilled, and the wellheads are sealed. When the time comes, after we move away, the oil production team will come over and directly set up the pumping unit. So now, it's all right. ”

As he spoke, Li Zhou saw that he had built a bonfire.

Sitting across the campfire, Wei Ying immediately felt warm.

Wei Ying stood up, she moved the piece of wood towards the bonfire,

Then she sat down close to the fire and said:

"When the fire comes up, it really feels so much warmer. ”

Li Zhoujian added firewood to the fire and said:

"In the Sulige Desert, in the second half of the night, the temperature will drop to minus 30 degrees. If we don't make a fire, we'll freeze to death here. ”

After speaking, Li Zhoujian reminded Wei Ying and said:

"Wei Ying, don't sit either, it's too close to the fire, be careful of the flames, burn your eyebrows. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ying had already felt it, and her face was hot from the flames.

She hurriedly moved back and said:

"Technician, since no one steals anything in this big desert, why does the captain want the two of us to come here and watch the well?"

Li Zhou saw that the fire was roasting, rubbed his hands, and said:

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. Although, in this great desert, there is no one to live...... However, if no one looks at the well, and the equipment of the drilling team and the oil in the elevated tanks are stolen, it will be a big loss. ”

After speaking, Li Zhoujian stood up again and went to look for firewood around the well site.

Because, debris, wood, hay, burn very quickly.

Therefore, in order for the flame to continue burning, Li Zhoujian had to keep going to the well site to find firewood.

And when Wei Ying saw that Li Zhou was very busy when he saw a person,

She also got up and went to the periphery of the well site to look for firewood.

However, due to the well field, the black light blinded the fire, plus the cloudy day, there was no moon, and the five fingers could not be seen.

After Wei Ying looked around, she returned empty-handed.

And when Li Zhoujian saw that Wei Ying was also learning from herself, looking for firewood,

He asked Wei Ying to sit down and roast the fire, and said:

"Wei Ying, you're a girl, you just sit on the fire. The task of finding firewood is left to me. ”

Wei Ying was worried and said:

"However, in the first half of the night, we were not sleepy, so we could go out to find firewood without stopping. However, in the second half of the night, everyone was sleepy, and how could they go to find firewood. ”

Li Zhoujian pointed to the elevated oil tank not far away, and then said:

"No way, if the surrounding firewood is finished, then we can only go to the elevated oil tank, put a little diesel, and then come over and burn it." ”

Hearing the burning of diesel, Wei Ying disagreed, and said:

"However, the diesel fuel in the elevated tank is the fuel for the generator and the diesel engine. If we put the diesel in the elevated oil tank, wouldn't it be a waste of fuel for generators and diesel engines?"

Li Zhou saw Wei Ying's serious appearance, so he comforted her and said:

"It's okay, let's just use a little bit of diesel, that's enough. Besides, inside the elevated oil tank, the pipe sticking out, there is still a lot of excess oil in it. Let's find a container and catch that bit of residual oil, it's all enough. ”

Listening to Li Zhoujian's words, Wei Ying nodded, and she said:

"Well, I'll help you when you go to put the diesel fuel in that moment. ”

Slowly, as time goes on, the temperature gets cooler and lower.

Wei Ying sat next to the fire, and she felt that her back was very cold.

So, Wei Ying turned around, turned her back to the fire, and roasted.

Wait for the back, bake for a while, and when it is not cold,

She turned it around again and roasted the front.

And Li Zhou saw that it was the same, the front of his body was cold, and he was facing the bonfire.

After a while, the back of the person was cold, and he turned his back to the campfire.

Soon, it was the second half of the night.

Wei Ying felt that the time was both long and difficult, and said:

"I didn't expect that the night of watching the well would be really difficult. ”

Li Zhoujian yawned and said:

"Yes, the two of us now, it's really like a year. ”

At this time, Wei Ying really realized what hunger and cold are.

Although, there is a bonfire in front of it.

However, since there is no confined space, the temperature cannot be concentrated in one space, but is released quickly.

Therefore, Wei Ying still felt very cold.

She couldn't open her sleepy eyes, and said:

"I really think it would be summer now. When we look at the well, we can just lie down on the ground and sleep. ”

After speaking, Wei Ying looked at the cold ground, she knew that if she slept on the ground, she would definitely freeze to death.

And Li Zhoujian was in good spirits and said:

"In summer, there are too many mosquitoes in the Sulige Desert, and if you sleep on the ground, you will be stung by scorpions, and you can't ......"

Listening to Li Zhoujian's words, Wei Ying gasped, she really felt that in the oil industry, drilling workers are not easy.

At the same time, Wei Ying was curious and asked:

"Technician, you say, the two of us, stay here, the other drillers, the new well site in the past, can we sleep in a warm, tin house?"

Li Zhoujian shook his head without hesitation and said:

"Of course not. The elevated oil tank was not sent, the generator had no fuel, and the electricity could not be generated, and the electric heater in the tin house was not hot, so everyone could only sleep in the cold tin house. ”

Hearing this, Wei Ying shuddered and said:

"Aren't they about the same temperature as we are in the wilderness?"

Li Zhou saw that he was drowsy, his eyes began to fight, and he said:

"Can you be stronger than us...... At least, they have a bed and a quilt cover. And the two of us can only sit on the cold wood and stay up until dawn. ”

Wei Ying took her phone out of her pocket, she wanted to see the time.

As a result, the phone ran out of battery.

She asked Li Zhoujian and said:

"Are you wearing a watch? Now, what time is it?"

Li Zhoujian looked at the mechanical watch on his wrist and said:

"Ten points. “

When Wei Ying heard it, it was only ten o'clock, and when the sun came out in the morning, there were still more than seven hours,

Feeling that the time was too long, she said:

"Oh my God, I don't know, how long will we have to endure this painfully until dawn. “

Li Zhoujian put his back and head against the cold mud jar,

He was drowsy and said:

"I can't hold on, I'll sleep for a while. You help to look at the fire, and if the fire is about to go out, you add some diesel fuel to it. Remember, there's not a lot of diesel, so be sure to save some of it. “

Wei Ying nodded, she knew that when Li Zhou saw that during the day, he was still writing materials in the house, and he basically didn't sleep much.

When Li Zhoujian leaned against the mud jar and closed his eyes, Wei Ying began to hold on.

I saw that Wei Ying stood up, and she decided to take a turn around the well site to see if everything was okay.

However, before Wei Ying could take two steps, she heard the sound of Li Zhoujian snoring.

couldn't help but admire Li Zhou's insight and said:

"It's amazing, you can fall asleep in such a cold field. ”

After speaking, Wei Ying began to inspect around the well site.
