45. Horse urine
Yao Xitong secretly observed Xiao Bao'er's occasional chewing behavior, guessed that she secretly hid food that could quench her thirst, and kept asking if there was a way, in fact, to remind her to share the blessings. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As if remembering something, Xiao Bao'er took out a few plants and handed them to him, "You can chew this." With a happy face, he took the plant and stuffed it into his mouth, and spit it out in a few clicks, "Nothing, like hay, what are you chewing it for?" ”
"Chewing in your mouth makes you less thirsty."
Hearing this, Yao Xitong put the grass back into his mouth suspiciously, and carefully tasted Xiao Baoer's statement. After doing it for a long time, he relied on chewing to produce saliva, but this method treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and he was still very thirsty. I can only ask again: "Is there really no other way?" ”
Xiao Bao'er looked up at the sky, "Wouldn't it be too early to cook horse urine now?" ”
"Forget it, I'm holding on for a while."
Yao Xitong got back on the horse and took advantage of Xiao Bao'er's inattention to carefully steal a few sips of water. Seeing the water bag getting deflated more and more, and the endless desert in front of him, his heart continued to heavily. If there was no water, he would really die here, his ambitions, dreams, and talents were all buried in the yellow sand, and there was not even a person to collect the body.
In less than an hour, he jumped off his horse again and asked very solemnly, "Is there really no other way?" ”
Xiao Bao'er opened her eyes very weakly, "If you really can't drink horse urine, you can actually drink my ......"
"Oh my God!" Yao Xitong exclaimed, Xiao Baoer actually stored her own urine, what kind of person is this! He picked up the horse urine and strode away from Xiao Bao'er, he really didn't want to show his embarrassed appearance of drinking urine in front of anyone.
He is a handsome and amazing Daxia Xinke Tanhualang, and drinking urine will never appear for the second time in his life.
Horse urine smells fishy, and it stinks even more after being left overnight. Yao Xitong opened the water bag and almost didn't get smoked to death by the smell, thinking about drinking this kind of thing into his stomach, he suddenly thought that he was still dying of thirst.
Not having the courage to drink urine, he returned to the place with his head down, and suddenly saw Xiao Bao'er feeding water to the horse! Actually feed the horses water!
A sense of resentment welled up in his heart, and he snatched the water bag like a madman, and drank most of it with his head up, and then angrily rebuked: "You are sick, and you would rather give water to the horse than give it to me?" And teasing me with horse urine, it's fun, isn't it? ”
Xiao Bao'er looked at the water bag longingly, and whispered: "I said that you can drink me, but you didn't listen, and just took the horse urine and left." ”
"Is it my fault that I did it for a long time? Why do you look so weak when you speak, did you hide water behind my back? ”
Xiao Baoer didn't answer, and snatched the water bag back while he wasn't paying attention.
At the moment of life and death, Yao Xitong didn't want to hide the fact that he would be martial. grabbed the water again, and secretly decided in his heart that if Xiao Bao'er dared to fight, he wouldn't mind taking the necessary measures. All thoughts are turned into actions for a moment. The hands of the two touched together, and the temperature from Xiao Bao'er's side made Yao Xitong very puzzled.
He asked, "Why are your hands so hot?" ”
"I said I would protect you, and anyone who wants your life has to ask me first, even God. The water is left to the Dock, it is alive, and you have hope of getting out of the desert. ”
Xiao Bao'er didn't say much, and every word hit Yao Xitong's heart fiercely. After saying that, she reverently knelt on the desert and kowtowed. In front of nature, all beings are equal, and the princess is also a mortal and cannot control anything.
Yao Xitong stood in place like a lightning strike, and at the moment of life and death, he was so frightened by fear that he lost his coolness. He knew very well what he was carrying on horseback, and Xiao Bao'er had to have tools to hold water even if she wanted to hide it privately......
From the day she entered the Gobi, Xiao Baoer said little and cherished words like gold, all to save water. She didn't keep it private, she just wanted to leave the water to Doc and the people she swore to protect.
Thinking of all this, Yao Xitong said curtly, "Don't pray, get up quickly, I won't feed the horses to drink." Give it the rest of the water, and we'll point to it and take us out. ”
In just a moment, Xiao Bao'er's forehead against the desert had already been buried by the sea of sand, she stood up and patted the fine sand on her hand, and fed all the water in the water bag to Doc. Then he tapped Yao Xitong's chest with his hand, "Those who treat horses well are good people, and God will bless you." ”
After that, she motioned for Yao Xitong to get on the horse, and after seeing him sit firmly, she slapped Doc suddenly. He shouted loudly: "There is no desert in Northern Liao that cannot be walked in two days, as long as you walk towards Kebogla, Doc will definitely take you out, and come to pick me up when you find water." ”
Yao Xitong let Doke carry him into the distance, and his mind remained stagnant during this time, because he did not understand the meaning of Xiao Bao'er's words. Would anyone really be stupid enough to sacrifice themselves to save others? Is Xiao Baoer really saving him instead of harming him?
The sun hung brightly in the sky, and Kebogra in the distance was as beautiful as a picture.
When the wind mixed with fine sand blew across his cheeks, Yao Xitong's sanity returned to his brain, and he decided to ride his horse back and take Xiao Bao'er on the road with him. Life is important, but there are some things that are far more important than life. If Xiao Bao'er is left to die in the desert, then he will leave far more than Xiao Bao'er, but the courage to face his heart calmly from now on.
The golden sand dunes are undulating, and Xiao Bao'er's kneeling figure looks like a stone statue standing in the desert for thousands of years. Hearing the sound of Yao Xitong turning back, she turned around slowly, and fainted in the sea of sand before she could say anything.
Yao Xitong hugged her and poured all the remaining water into her mouth. A closer look revealed that her lips were already chapped, but they were only covered by a thick layer of snake oil. Looking at the woman in his arms, it is really difficult to evaluate what kind of person this is, I just feel that following a fool, smart people will become stupid.
From a rational point of view, Xiao Baoer's choice is not wrong, it is better to save one than to die together. It may be Yao Xitong who did the wrong, he can't accept this kindness, and he can't imagine what kind of changes Xiao Bao'er will have in his life if he dies in the desert.
Yao Xitong carried Xiao Bao'er on his back and walked hard in the desert.
It was noon, the hot sand was scorching the soles of his feet, and only by actually walking in the desert did he understand how difficult it was for Xiao Bao'er to save so much water. He didn't ride a horse, and he wanted to save the chance of survival until the moment when he couldn't hold on, and only then could he truly experience what kind of feelings it was like to sacrifice himself to save others.
An hour passed, and Yao Xitong felt like walking on a knife edge with every step. Thirsty, tired, and hopeless, like a giant hammer beating his will in turn, making him want to give up and wait for death in the desert with Xiao Bao'er in his arms.
"Xiaoxiao, are you awake, talk to me, I can't hold on anymore."
He didn't hear Xiao Bao'er's answer, only heard a rumbling thunder sounding in the sky, and he laughed at himself and said: Who is going to cross the catastrophe today, and who is God going to split?
Xiao Bao'er's weak voice sounded in her ears, "It's going to rain, my prayers are useful, God has saved us." ”
Yao Xitong didn't think Xiao Bao'er was talking, thinking that it was an auditory hallucination, and continued to mutter: It's raining in the desert, how is this possible, the sun is still watching from the sidelines!
"Put me down, it's really going to rain." Yao Xitong finally affirmed that this was not an auditory hallucination, he put Xiao Bao'er back on the ground, and asked her with a dull expression, "What will you do in the desert again?" ”
"Take off your clothes, prepare your water bag, it's the first time I've seen rain in the desert, and I've heard that this rain comes and goes faster, and sometimes it's already evaporated by the heat of the sand before it reaches the ground."
Xiao Baoer began to take off her clothes, cotton clothes, jackets, and only one middle coat remained. Yao Xitong is still in a daze, reading more than 10,000 books is not as exciting as this way, isn't the sun still there? Why does it rain and why does it rain in the desert?
Before he could figure it out, a gust of wind blew, and countless fine sand rushed to his face, making him unable to open his eyes. When the wind died down, another rumbling thunder rang out, followed by a downpour.
"Oh my God, it's raining!" He exclaimed. Xiao Bao'er didn't speak, trying to hide his clothes in the horse's belly, while catching water with a water bag, letting him laugh like a madman with rain on his back.
When the clouds and rain stopped, Yao Xitong asked soakedly: "What are you hiding behind the horse?" ”
"I didn't expect this rain to take so long, so I took the opportunity to take a shower." Looking at Xiao Bao'er's long legs under the horse's belly, Yao Xitong laughed out loud again, such a strange scene, such an answer, can only be encountered with Xiao Baoer.
Hearing that Yao Xitong had been laughing, Xiao Bao'er stretched out her head from behind the horse and scolded: "Didn't you take off your clothes, look at you, you're soaked, what should I do now?" ”
"Xiaoxiao, I'm thinking about Doc, the cotton clothes can be screwed into its mouth if they absorb enough water, which is more convenient than picking up water by hand."
Xiao Bao'er looked up at the sky, "The temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert is so big, I think about how to resist frost if your clothes don't dry after dark?" ”
Yao Xitong felt that he was despised again, he slowly began to undress, put the clothes on the back of the horse one by one, and said, "We are resting now, and we are in a hurry at night, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Bao'er didn't know that Yao Xitong had taken off his clothes, so she stretched out her head to look at him, and saw that she was not wearing anything on her upper body, so she said very calmly, "It's okay, do you still have snake meat, I'm hungry." ”
Yao Xitong was not calm, covered his body with his hands, and asked: "Xiaoxiao, shouldn't you be embarrassed about this situation?" Why are you still thinking about eating? ”
"It's in good shape, it's not a chicken for nothing."
"What is the allusion to the white chopped chicken?"
"The nobles of the Central Plains regard white as beauty, both men and women require fair skin, and in my eyes it is like a white chicken, the meat is tender but not firm, and it lacks chewiness."
Yao Xitong pondered for a while, and asked tentatively: "Are you complimenting me on my beauty?" In the dream, Yao Xitong relied on male color to get to the top, Xiao Baoer asked rhetorically: "Is it useful?" ”
"Useful? What does this mean? ”
"We don't want to be attracted to each other."
"Why?"
"Secret."
As soon as Xiao Bao'er said the word secret, Yao Xitong was entangled, and immediately asked: "It has something to do with rhino incense?" ”
"Yes!"
"Xiaoxiao, we have also experienced the ...... of life and death" Yao Xitong was stuck, and he couldn't define the relationship between him and Xiao Bao'er for a while. Neither friend nor foe, intimate relationship and no affection between men and women.
"What are you going to say? What have we experienced in life and death? ”
Yao Xitong struggled to spit out two words, "Friend." Then he said, "We are friends who have gone through life and death, and you shouldn't be honest with your friends?" ”
Xiao Bao'er said happily, "Prairie people like to make friends, and they are the most honest with friends. A little hint to you, why is it raining? ”
What kind of tip is this? Yao Xitong looked up at the sky, "What you said about me in your dream is related to the weather?" ”
Xiao Bao'er deliberately sold Guanzi, "The people who can pass the imperial examination are all the top smart people in Great Xia, think about it slowly!" ”
It will rain when the weather is bad, what is Xiao Baoer hinting at? Celestial phenomena? Does she still know about celestial phenomena? No, no, she thinks that the problem will definitely not be so complicated, and she should think in the simplest way. Why does it rain, because it's cloudy, but also because of ......
Looking at the blue sky that had been restored, Yao Xitong thought of the dark clouds, because there were dark clouds, it would rain, this must be Xiao Baoer's logic. Dark clouds, dark clouds, he suddenly remembered Wuya, who was close to him.
Could it be that Xiao Bao'er really dreamed of the future and saw the relationship between him and Wu Ya, so it would be said that it was useless to be beautiful and delicious, because his mind was on Wu Ya?
The more Yao Xitong thought about it, the more scared he became, and he always felt that the rhino incense in Xiao Baoer's mouth was about to subvert his perception of the world all along. Those strange powers and chaos that he despised are all true, there are really unicorns in this world, Dongji, Nanxi, and there are really rhinoceros incense that can foresee the future.
He pressed his temples hard for a while, pressing all the things he thought of in his heart, firmly believing that without rhino incense, everything Xiao Bao'er foresaw was just a conspiracy.
"Hey, your hint is too vague, I can't think of an answer, or you can tell me directly." As expected, Xiao Bao'er threw out two words again, "Secret." ”
The topic of rhino incense was once again terminated by the two of them, intentionally or unintentionally. Xiao Bao'er didn't want to change her life, but Yao Xitong firmly believed that there was no rhino incense in this world that could foresee the future, and everything was a conspiracy.
At night, Xiao Baoer forced a set of punches before she was in a trance and wanted to leave.
Yao Xitong knew that she was still suffering from dehydration, and couldn't help but say, "Come up, I'll take you." Xiao Bao'er looked at the energetic Dock, and stretched out her hand tiredly, "Pull it, I can't climb up." ”
Yao Xitong pulled hard, Xiao Bao'er fell into his arms, he hugged Xiao Bao'er tightly, "Sleep, I know the way, as long as you walk towards Kebogla, it's right." ”
Xiao Bao'er leaned on him comfortably and said casually: "It's very comfortable, it feels like leaning on Xuanze." ”
"Princess, can you be more reserved?" Yao Xitong has long been accustomed to Xiao Baoer's boldness and openness, but he doesn't want to be compared with Xuanze.
Xiao Baoer said, "I like Xuanze, why can't I say it?" You Central Plains people are not also very bold, it is good to have poetry. 'Spring travel, apricot blossoms blow all over the head. Mo is a young man, full of romance. The concubine intends to marry and rest for the rest of her life. Even if you are ruthlessly abandoned, you can't be ashamed. ’”
