Chapter 22: A Trip to the Desert
Some people say that the most terrifying thing in the desert is not the lack of water or food, but hope. Man's survival instinct is terrifying, and that is one of the most primitive skills. Human evolution has been carved into the blood until now. Moving forward in pain and confusion, alone for fear of losing hope, which is the largest oasis in the desert, and if you lose it, then you will wander in loneliness and despair, and you will be in pain and even cut yourself off.
This did not happen to Gao Han, who had only just reached the peak of his life. And he has much more than ordinary people, he has two girlfriends who look like fairies, a kind father, and a bunch of good friends. These were the most important parts of his life. They had been walking in the desert for five days, and the sand that had remained unchanged for 10,000 years was still untouched. The water has long been used up, and it can only be obtained by relying on the water vapor formed by the temperature difference between day and night. And you will come across an unknown plant, which is not very common in the desert, but if you encounter it, it will uproot it. Those roots that are full of moisture can surprise you.
Gao Han even encountered a leopard that tried to attack them, but luckily they had a pistol full of bullets. The leopard provided a hide large enough for the three of them to survive the cold of the night. It's hard to imagine a desert that is so hot during the day and so cold at night. On the first night of their journey, they were lucky enough to encounter their first oasis. That made Lin Miaotong and Wang Kexin cheer for ten minutes.
But the next two nights were not so lucky, and luckily the kind of food Gao Han found on the plane was a compressed food. The area is small, but it can provide all kinds of energy needed by humans, but the taste is not very good. This is the main reason why the three of them are still relatively healthy after living in the desert for five days. But now they are running out of food, even if they eat very little each day.
"Brother Gao, do you think we can get out of this desert?" Lin Miaotong had begun to feel her lips chapped, but she didn't drink water Now that water resources are extremely precious, drinking water can only take a small sip as a last resort.
"Yes, we will." Gao Han turned his head to look at Wang Kexin. Wang Kexin, who is usually more emotional, is starting to feel a little wrong now. Sometimes she didn't want to say a word for half a day.
Wang Kexin knew what Gao Han meant, smiled and said
"I'm fine, as long as you two are still around. I'm not going to give up. ”
In fact, in this desert desert, it is difficult for them to see a large animal except for the leopard they met on the first day. Gao Han guessed that maybe this was the reason why the desert wasn't too big, or maybe they had already reached the center of the desert. Either way, it's good news for them.
Gao Han looked at the sun, which was still scorching hot, and stopped. After taking a small sip of water, he didn't swallow it immediately but took it in his mouth. hugged Lin Miaotong and kissed it, letting the water turn around in the mouths of the two, and then he kissed Wang Kexin in the same way before slowly swallowing the saliva. It was the most economical way they could think of, and a sip of water would give the other two a little moistened as well. But in fact, they didn't know if this was the right way, so they could only try to use various methods to increase their chances of survival, and the two women also let go of the fight during the long walk. They had begun to be unclothed, and some parts of Gao Han's upper body had worn out, and he began to try to wrap the leaves of a plant around his body to avoid direct exposure to the sun. In this case, no one has the heart to fight for the wind and be jealous. Everyone just wants to try to live.
The sun is starting to set, and it's the most comfortable time of the day for them. At this time, the temperature is slowly starting to drop, but it is not to the point where it is cold. Lin Miaotong took out the leopard skin that had been dried and dirty, and Gao Han also found a few crumpled leaves and an old clothes. It's an important tool for them to survive cold nights, but it's not enough for them to completely reject the cold, and they can only sleep in their arms every night and use each other's body heat to keep warm.
They also had to find a shelter when the sun was completely down. Because they don't know what kind of danger there will be in the desert. The leopard on the first day frightened them all, and its sharp fangs made Wang Kexin have nightmares for two days.
"There's a dead tree over there, it doesn't look big, but it should be enough to keep us out of the wind." The desert doesn't get a lot of sand every day, but it does happen occasionally. Lin Miaotong was a little excited because she had found a resting place, and these seemingly ordinary bits and pieces were important reasons for their survival. Among the three, her spirit is the best, maybe it has something to do with him blindly believing in Gao Han Wang Kexin can't do this.
The three of them walked over to rest with their backs together, and Gao Han took off his shoes, revealing some unknown stuffing inside. There are often some scorpions that are rarely seen in the desert, and the three of them each found some weaker objects and stuffed their shoes. And that would make them feel more comfortable, and Lin Miaotong had already found a pair of shoes at the beginning. It was supposed to be the captain, and several others were blown to ashes by the explosion, and the bald white man was also buried deep in the wreckage of the plane.
All three of them had blisters on the soles of their feet, which was the biggest reason for their speed. Gao Han held the feet of both of them in his arms and gently helped them rub them! Rubbing.
"Gao Han." Wang Kexin, who had been silent, suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" Gao Han looked at her.
"Will you do it with me once?"
Gao Han obviously knew what she was referring to, but he was very puzzled why Wang Kexin was still in this mood under such circumstances.
"I can't hold on, I need your comfort, I need you to love me well and give me the motivation to live." Wang Kexin burst into tears, she had already begun to think crankily and was in a trance. She becomes fragile and sensitive, and she needs a reason for Gao Han to hold on for a moment. It needs a match to awaken the vitality of her body. People often need a reason to stick with when they are vulnerable, but the way people express themselves and need them differently.
"It's ......." Gao Han didn't say anything, and turned his head to look at Lin Miaotong.
At this time, Lin Miaotong looked very generous, she said with a smile
"Give it to her once if she needs it."
With Lin Miaotong's permission, Gao Han hugged Wang Kexin. At this time, Wang Kexin looked a little crazy, and she gnawed Gao Han's lips fiercely with tears. She was so hard, so desperate. Her crumbling mind needed to find some solace and an act to feel real.
Looking at the two hugging each other under her nose, Lin Miaotong felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She actually didn't hate Wang Kexin all the time, that was her cousin. They grew up together and shared the countless touches they had at the beginning of their lives. They lived together throughout their childhood, and they have always been emotionally family. It's just that she has always refused to accept or share Gao Han with others, because Wang Kexin laid the foundation when she was ignorant, and she knew this, but she was helpless. She can only try to fight with her, but this does not affect her feelings for Wang Kexin, but she buried this relationship deeply.
Gao Han and Wang Kexin did it for a long time, and Wang Kexin, who had been suppressed, hurriedly wiped it with a leaf after the crazy release and fell asleep. That kind of leaf is also used by them to wipe the body occasionally every day, and the juice of the leaf can make the body feel a little cool. They don't have the luxury of bathing in water.
"Miaotong, I'm sorry." Gao Han hugged Lin Miaotong apologetically and stroked her hair.
Lin Miaotong kissed his lips gently
"You're not sorry for me, in fact, I've always known that our two little sweethearts are going to add a Wang Kexin to them. It's not your fault, it's just that I've been reluctant to admit it since. I understand that my cousin's feelings for you are the same as my feelings for you, but at that time I wanted to possess you alone. Do you understand how much I love you? ”
"I know, and I love you too." Gao Han gently stroked her hair and looked at her eyes very seriously.
Maybe it took a few days in the desert to really let Gao Han understand what love is. to let him know how much the two women who have been with him for the longest time will worry him. This also made him no longer confused, if he could get out of this desert, they might have a bright future.
