Chapter 304: Caught Off Guard (I)
"Hello, my name is Kelly. ”
Just when Ding He was thinking alone, suddenly a crisp female voice sounded.
Ding He followed the sound and looked over, and found that there was a young woman riding a camel beside him, the woman looked about twenty-seven years old, obviously more mature, but not very old.
"My name is Ding He. Ding He smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Nice to meet you." ”
"You're pretty polite, unlike their bunch. Kelly smiled wickedly, then looked up at the people on the expedition ahead.
The reason why Kelly approached Ding He and took the initiative to chat with Ding He was because Kaina felt that Ding He gave people a sense of mystery that they couldn't guess.
Although this young man does not look very old, he seems to have something on his mind along the way.
The young man who walked with him had been amazed by the beauty of the desert all the way, and was shocked by the power of the desert, but although this young man kept looking at the scenery around, he did not show any surprise and curiosity, but a little sadness.
"Are you visiting the desert for the first time?" said Kelly, "This is my third time here, the first two times were unsuccessful, and this time I hope to be rewarded." ”
"First time here. Ding He paused as he spoke, and then said, "I didn't expect that Sister Kaili has been here three times, why did you say that the first two times were fruitless?"
Although Ding He knew that it seemed like he was asking like this, Ding He felt that since Kelly mentioned it to him, it meant that he had no intention of hiding himself.
"I'm here to look for a place that may or may not exist, and I don't know what it is. I've just heard from some literature that it should have great archaeological value, and I don't know if I can find it!"
Kelly sighed deeply as she spoke, and then continued: "Our group of people is also full of food and support, looking for excitement every day, looking for adventure and finding mysterious places. If you lose your life because of this one day, I don't know if you regret it or rejoice. I regret taking this risk, so much so that I cost my life, and I am glad that I died in the place I was most passionate about. ”
When she said this, a trace of sorrow flashed in Kelly's eyes, but it was gone in a blink of an eye, and she changed to a very mature and charming normal, continued to look at Ding He, and then said: "If you encounter any unfortunate encounter this time, will you regret it?"
Ding He didn't answer Kelly's words directly, but asked rhetorically, "Is regret useful?"
Hearing Ding He's answer, Kelly not only did not get angry, but smiled even brighter.
Yes, is regret useful? The young man's sentence is very thorough, and a simple sentence answers the things he was struggling with just now.
After a few brief conversations with Ding He, Kelly felt that Ding He, a young man, should have more calmness and connotation than adults, and he couldn't figure it out or guess it. But Kelly doesn't think about those things anymore, she just treats Ding He as a friend to make.
Along the way, because Kelly talked to him and talked about a lot of things, Ding He gradually had a deeper understanding of the team and a clearer understanding of the place he was going to go on this departure.
The team had been in existence for ten years, and Kelly was an eighteen-year-old girl when she first joined the team.
When she was just an adult, she was admitted to university, and for the first time she went on an expedition, her father asked someone to introduce her to this team, and since then she has been out of control.
After the first expedition experience, Kelly became madly obsessed with exploration, and gradually became very good friends with the expedition team after several life and death friends, so in the next ten years, she must have experienced countless large and small expeditions.
In the process of exploration, because of some things related to archaeology, Kelly's enthusiasm for archaeology was also stimulated. Therefore, the expedition team is now not only for exploration, but also for archaeology, but also for those who are unknown to the world and cannot guess the mysteries, working hard to move forward.
The dozen or so people in this expedition are either tycoons in the rich world, who are keen on exploration on weekdays, or businessmen who want to obtain more valuable things, or scholars who are very researched in archaeology, in order to be able to see a wider range of knowledge, and Kelly is a person who satisfies her curiosity.
No matter what kind of reason and purpose everyone had, in the end, these dozen or so people came together, and after several battles between life and death, everyone was united.
We have been to the desert three times before, and the first two times were because of a huge sandstorm on the way, which swept away important materials and could not continue to move back and turned back.
This time, everyone did their homework before coming and learned the lessons and experiences of the previous two times, so this time it was imperative.
Although we have made sufficient preparations, it is still an unknown mystery whether we can really continue to move forward, because the desert is always so changeable, and it is impossible to guess or figure out, so it is still an unknown thing whether we can successfully reach the destination this time.
Because once they encounter danger on the way, the first thing everyone should do is to save their lives first, and not to force their way forward.
And Ding He, the director and Shangguan Lin, who followed the team, the tasks of the three of them are basically negligible, and the participation of the three of them is completely dispensable.
So even if they arrived at their destination, the three of them wouldn't go with them, and they wouldn't let them go with them.
Because according to Kelly, the danger of the destination is many times greater than the danger on the way, and it can almost cost people their lives. Whether this is true or not, Kelly herself is not sure.
Today has been a calm day, and there have been no accidents or accidents, so everyone has come smoothly according to the previous plan. The previously planned seaside.
"I'm really finally getting to know now, eating watermelon around the fire. I couldn't stand the heat at noon, but I didn't expect that at night, I still felt very cold next to this charcoal fire. ”
Shangguan Lin said as she rubbed her hands to keep warm.
Obviously, when I was on the road during the day, it was still very hot, so in order not to dehydrate myself, I had to wear clothes and surround myself tightly. But at night, it's so cold.
Shangguan Lin felt that he had experienced two seasons in one day, one summer and one winter.
"Hahaha, it's a desert here~"
A rugged man, laughing while talking, and then continued: "Wait a while, you will find surprises, at night, you must close your tent tightly when you sleep, otherwise this accident will scare people~"
"What surprise, what surprise? You're not going to tell me there's a snake here, are you?"
Although Shangguan Lin pretended to say calmly, Ding He could see through the faint light of the fire that his face had changed.
Ding He knew that Shangguan Lin was most afraid of mollusks, and when he was teaching in the mountains, every time he encountered mollusks, Shangguan Lin screamed and jumped.
I thought to myself, there are naturally mollusks in the desert, and there will be many of them, and this kid will scream in the future.
"Hahaha, what is it to have a snake, a scorpion is called terrible!" the man said, describing how terrible it was.
The man depicted that scene as much as possible, although it was not accurate enough, but it was also grand enough. Especially, the poisonous scorpion that hit this one, people can't get off their feet, such descriptions and the like. Hearing this, Guan Lin's heart was pounding, and his face obviously changed dramatically.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Shangguan Lin said as she trembled and clutched a wooden stick in her hand.
Hearing Shangguan Lin's words, the man seemed to have heard some kind of particularly funny joke, and said while laughing breathlessly: "Hahaha, what's there to be afraid of, this thing is a treasure, take it back and soak it in wine, it's a big tonic thing!"
Hearing the man's answer, Shangguan Lin didn't know what to say, and set his eyes on Ding He.
Ding He nodded at her, making a look not to panic, Shangguan Lin also nodded, although he responded to Ding He, but his heart was still fluctuating and very scared.
I thought to myself, when I slept at night, I must close the tent tightly, and I must wrap myself in a sleeping bag, armed with my whole body, and I must not be stung by a scorpion, otherwise, my life will be gone.
"Well, don't scare the boys. As he spoke, the captain looked at Shangguan Lin with a smile, and then said: "He likes to brag and joke, you don't want to be like him, although there are some mollusks like cobras here, as well as poisonous scorpions, but it is not that serious, generally we are careful not to provoke them, there will be no problem." ”
Hearing the captain's words, Shangguan Lin's heart calmed down a little, but he was still scared in his heart, because things like cobras and poisonous scorpions are really not easy to provoke.
"Don't be afraid, don't worry, there is definitely no problem with everyone, everyone has many years of experience in the wild, and there is naturally no problem. As he spoke, the choreographer handed a skewer of grilled meat to Shangguan Lin, and then patted her on the back to comfort him.
The choreographer knows that young people like Shangguan Lin are bold, but they haven't actually experienced it, so they are easy to feel scared, these are some problems that young people are prone to make, so they know how to comfort them.
While comforting Shangguan Lin, the choreographer looked at Ding He on the side, although Ding He also heard those words and experienced it for the first time, but he was not so nervous, scared and uneasy as Shangguan Lin, but a little calm and calm.
For Ding He, the choreographer has a little admiration, the young man experienced these things for the first time, not only did he not feel afraid, but he felt a trace of calmness, not to see how strong this young man's psychological quality is, and he also appreciates it very much.
When he went to bed at night, Ding He poured into his tent early, shrunk up in his sleeping bag and fell asleep. But Shangguan Lin, who was lying on the side, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep no matter what.
Shangguan Lin was not sleepy at all because she was mentally asleep when she was on the plane. In addition, I heard things like cobra scorpions, so I also felt frightened and scared in my heart. No matter what, he couldn't sleep, he could only watch Ding He fall asleep peacefully on the side, and he only had envy.
So when he got up early the next morning, Ding He saw Shangguan Lin with two heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he almost didn't recognize him.
"Brother Ding, what should I do, will they laugh at me......" Shangguan Lin said as he buried his head, and then he was not happy at all.
Although Ding He also felt that Shangguan Lin's appearance was a bit funny, he couldn't bear to continue to make fun of him, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted her: "Okay, don't think so much, everyone won't laugh at you." I've got some here, face masks and eye creams and stuff like that, and I don't need them, so I've been carrying them all the time, and it seems to have come in handy this time. ”
After Ding He finished speaking, he opened his schoolbag and took out a small eye cream and three masks, all of which were given to Shangguan Lin.
These things were prepared by Ding He for himself, because when recording the teaching, Ding He was worried that his poor rest would affect his skin, and the recording effect would not be good, after all, he had just entered this showbiz, and he needed to pay attention to his image.
But I didn't think that I would eat, sleep, and sleep after I came to the mountains, and my life was very happy, so I didn't use these things.
Originally, I thought that these things would be useless, but at this time, they also came in handy.
Shangguan Lin took it as if she had received a holy decree, and then seriously put on a mask and some eye cream.
Because these things are excellent, after using these, Shangguan Lin's dark circles are not so obvious, and if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it.
Yesterday it wasn't fast, because we had just entered the desert and everyone hadn't fully adapted to it. Today, it's significantly faster than yesterday.
Looking at the texture, a Haizi seems to have changed direction, which is a little different from the previous plan. ”
A person who was in charge of the research direction, holding a map and a magnifying glass as he spoke, said to the captain: "In the previous planned cycle, Haizi should have gone straight, but now looking at the texture of the sand, Haizi seems to have undergone some deviation. ”
Although it is only a small change, the impact is huge.
The captain took the map with a frown, holding a magnifying glass and comparing it carefully.
