148 Buried in the Gobi
After Qing'er and Niu finished eating, they headed for the Gobi.
Qing'er often goes to the shallows when looking for Cistanche, and is more familiar with the situation here, but the shallows are still too big after all, and no one can guess what direction the dogs will go.
Maybe it's providence, in this kind of deserted place where it is impossible to find people, but by chance, they met a family of three, and it turned out that the family also came to find Badam.
The two stepped forward to ask about the dog, and the family saw that Niu Da was wearing official clothes, so they spoke in detail.
The family arrived at the western part early in the morning, only to find that someone had arrived earlier than them, so they had changed to this place.
Qing'er carefully asked about the appearance characteristics of those people, and sure enough, it was the three of them!
The two looked in the direction pointed out by the family, although they were still looking for a needle in a haystack, but after all, they had a direction and a goal.
To make a long story short, Qing'er and Niu Da found the sky and darkness until they saw a figure from a distance in the depths of the conversation.
That's it!
There could be no one else in such a deep place, especially when it was so late!
Qing'er rushed towards them excitedly, but gradually found that there were only two figures standing, and her heart couldn't help but twitch!
At this time, the sun was setting, and the distant horizon was inlaid with a fiery red bright edge, and against the fiery red background, two small black silhouettes were getting closer and closer.
Qing'er ran towards this fiery red, and suddenly, she saw another person on the ground, but it was lying down!
Qing'er's heart suddenly tugged at his throat, and in his impression, the weakest of the three was the dog!
She ran as hard as she could. Crying as she ran, her eyes were blurred, but she still didn't want to believe it. She wanted to confirm that her guess was wrong.
When Qing'er panted and ran closer, and clearly saw the appearance of the two black shadows, she suddenly threw herself into a person's arms and cried bitterly.
Not a dog!
Great, she wrapped her arms around the dog's body, felt the temperature on his body, and the dog was still alive, in her arms. That's nice!
She cried for a while before she came to her senses, and looked down at the man lying on the ground, whose name she couldn't name. I only know that he is a classmate in the Gou'er Qinghe Academy.
Qing'er didn't say a few words to him, and now he is still a little unbearable to see him lying on the cold sand, obviously he has escaped the catastrophe and has not been confiscated. Still......
Niu Da had already asked Dong Sen for the reason at this time. It turned out that the three of them got lost, but luckily found Badam, but they couldn't find their way back.
They walked in the Gobi for two hours in a daze before they met another group of people who were asking for directions, but they were asked to exchange them for Badam.
The three of them only picked about three taels of badam, and it was not easy to get it, so they were naturally reluctant to give it to others easily.
However, misfortune happened. The other party has a knife! Before they could figure out what was going on, the student was lying in a pool of blood.
People died. Badam was robbed, and the murderers ran away......
Dog Er and Dong Sen guarded the corpse like fools, and they stood until now.
Niu Da stepped forward and threw a handful of sand on the deceased, shouting, "Brother, let's go!" Let's cast a good family in the next life! ”
The rest of the people all cried, and the three of them also imitated Niu Da, one by one, holding sand on him, saying goodbye to the deceased.
Niu Da and the other three of them all bowed before they said loudly: "A person dies like a lamp goes out, he has suffered all the hardships in this life, and he should be blessed in the next life!" There is no need to bury this Gobi, and people will be flooded by sand when they lie down overnight. But we have to go back immediately, otherwise we won't be able to get out of this Gobi as soon as it gets dark! ”
When Qing'er heard this, her heart suddenly trembled, Niu Da stayed here because she didn't want to step into the Gobi again, she actually forgot about it and dragged him into the Gobi!
On the way back, Qing'er quietly apologized to Niu Da, but Niu Da smiled and said:
"What I'm afraid of is not the Gobi, but the hearts of the people! To be honest, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come in. On the way we came, I saw what you were like to Gongsun Xi, so I dared to come in with you. ”
Qing'er smiled when she heard this, and then she realized that Niu Da was cold to her fellow messengers, so she didn't want to go back to her hometown with them.
The Gobi is not terrible, but the human heart is the most terrible!
I didn't expect this illiterate Niu Da to say such a classic quotation.
Niu Da tugged at Qing'er's sleeve, lowered his voice and said, "How do we explain when we go back?" This is a human life! ”
Qing'er thought about it and felt that she couldn't be the master of this matter, and she had to listen to the opinions of the two of them, and the four of them discussed it together for a long time.
The dog didn't want to lie, it was his idea to come out to find Badam this time, and now that the man is dead, he would rather risk being in the army than lie again, so sorry for the deceased.
Qing'er stopped Niu Da, who was still giving ideas for the dog, she understood the dog's feelings, lying about this kind of thing, and she would have a bad conscience for the rest of her life.
Now I can only look at the attitude of the school, and I hope that Governor Li can turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
The four of them walked very fast, and finally walked out of the Gobi before the sun completely set.
When they walked to the street in front of the school, they saw a lonely and thin figure wandering in front of the gate of the school.
Qing'er looked at the familiar figure and smiled unconsciously, she ran first, and was soon hugged into her arms by a pair of arms, and she could even hear his heart pounding.
She understood, and she had worried him again.
It seems that since they met, he has been worrying about her and worrying about her.
Qing'er buried her head deep in his arms, enjoying the chest that was beating wildly for her.
It wasn't until she heard Niu Da's evil laugh that she was embarrassed to break out of Xi's arms and glared at Niu Da fiercely.
When they returned, supper had already been served, and the crowd walked silently through the front yard into the hut by the water house.
Everyone ate without a word, and their hearts were very worried, and no one knew what punishment awaited them tomorrow.
However, no one thought that the school's attitude towards this matter was that there was no attitude, and no one asked them where they had gone. Why is it absent from school?
No one even asked the deceased student as if he had never existed.
In short, I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, and this matter is over.
Since then, a lot has changed for everyone.
Qing'er no longer complains about too much schoolwork, she understands that everyone in the school house is nothing in the eyes of the masters, Governor Li, and the county master.
Their lives are not as good as grass mustard, just like a grain of sand in the vast Gobi, no one cares about one more grain or one less grain.
The dog seems to have grown up all of a sudden, talking a lot less, smiling a lot less, and only pestering Gongsun Xi all day long, becoming a little tail that Xi can't shake off behind him.
Dong Sen almost no longer talks to the dog, but gets closer and closer to Qing'er, and even often comes to the backyard to ask Xi for advice.
West was as cold to him as ever.
Nothing seems to have changed, but in fact everything has changed. (To be continued......)
