Chapter Thirty-Three: Beauty and the Beast
At night in the desert, the temperature plummets, and the stars light up like a street market in the sky.
Beneath the dunes, a lizard and a rattlesnake fight around a man half-buried by the sandstorm.
Between moving and jumping, the two guys attacked and defended, and they couldn't hold each other for a while.
And this half-buried person in the sand is the purpose and reason for their contention.
None of them want to share this rare delicacy with the other.
Suddenly, a pair of red eyes appeared not far away, like a ghost, and ran over like lightning, grabbed the rattlesnake and the lizard with their two front paws respectively, roared angrily, and lifted it up and smashed it to the ground with a frenzied bang.
But the sand was soft, and the rattlesnake and the lizard did not kill them, but instead bit the "red-eyed monster".
The "red-eyed monster" was so painful that he hurriedly let go of his two grips.
The lizard and rattlesnake fell on the sand and fled.
The "red-eyed monster" was furious, flashed, grabbed the rattlesnake, pulled it with its two claws, and immediately tore the rattlesnake into two, and threw his backhand far aside.
The Red-Eyed Monster let out a low roar, then turned and rushed forward, holding down the fleeing lizard, spreading its claws and slamming it hard.
In a moment, the lizard was torn to pieces, and the flesh was scattered to the ground.
The red-eyed monster looked at the blood and minced flesh on the ground, as if he was very relieved, and let out a low howl, and walked towards the man buried in the sand.
The red-eyed monster looked at the exposed hand of the man buried in the sand, and couldn't help but stretch out his claws and touch it in fear.
The hand that was sticking out of the sand suddenly moved.
The outstretched claws of the Red-Eyed Monster retracted like lightning.
The red-eyed monster looked at this hand, and there was a strange expression in his eyes.
When the "red-eyed monster" was frightened, he couldn't help but look down and sniff, and suddenly howled, grabbed the hand's clothes, and pulled the man out of the sand.
I saw that this was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, her face was covered with mud and sand, but she could see that she had a delicate face, but her eyes were already closed.
The "red-eyed monster" was startled, bared his mouth and screamed, and howled lowly.
The starlight in the sky seemed to be shaken off by the angry howl of the "red-eyed monster".
A meteor trailed its long tail across the sky and landed on the edge of the undulating sand dunes.
The Red-Eyed Monster howled softly, stretched out its claws, and poked into the girl's face.
The girl suddenly coughed and woke up.
The Red-Eyed Monster was startled and hurriedly retracted its claws.
The girl opened her eyes and saw a big furry monster staring at her with red eyes open, and she screamed in fright, rolled over and shrank back.
The "red-eyed monster" was also so shocked that he jumped back a few meters away, but turned around and howled at the girl.
The girl was so frightened that she hurriedly took out a pistol from her bosom, loaded it with a click at the "red-eyed monster", and fired a shot with a trembling sound.
The bullet whizzed across the face of the Red-Eyed Monster and slammed into the dunes.
The "red-eyed monster" was startled and fled like lightning.
The girl is Lin Xiaoxiao, and she is not dead.
After a while, Lin Xiaoxiao's ears were gone, and Fang slowly opened his eyes.
I saw the starry sky, the waning moon in the sky, except for the yellow sand and the undulating sand dune curves that could not be seen at a glance, there was a smell of blood.
Lin Xiaoxiao remembered the terrifying scene just now, and suddenly shouted: "Mo Yuanshan!"
Lin Xiaoxiao crawled up, smelled the bloody smell and searched for it, and found a piece of torn flesh and blood not far away.
Lin Xiaoxiao cried in panic, thinking that these scattered flesh and blood belonged to Mo Yuanshan.
Lin Xiaoxiao was furious, and shouted in the direction where the "red-eyed monster" fled: "You damn brute, I must have slaughtered you, divided your corpse, drank your blood, and ate your flesh." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a pair of red eyes flashing at a sand dune on the other side in the distance, howling angrily, and disappearing.
Lin Xiaoxiao cried to death, but she couldn't do it, so she had to bury some minced meat that she could find, and then got up and went to the top of the sand dune.
Looking at the vast sand dunes around her, Lin Xiaoxiao at this moment, except for the gallon pistol that was not left behind because it was tightly fastened in the inner pocket of his clothes, other things such as food and water had long been missing.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao is sad, she can wipe away her tears and face reality.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked around, and could only judge the direction according to the stars and moon in the sky.
All the way to the west, this is the direction that Mo Yuan Mountain has long pointed out, as long as you don't go in the wrong direction, you will definitely be able to cross this desert and reach the Hongya River smoothly.
But at the moment he has nothing but this pistol, which only has one bullet.
Without water and food, I couldn't survive three days in this desert.
Lin Xiaoxiao's heart began to become anxious, and he didn't know where he was in the desert after this tornado.
Lin Xiaoxiao began to search around the dunes, hoping to find her backpack that had been blown away by the strong wind.
But an hour passed, and Lin Xiaoxiao found nothing.
Lin Xiaoxiao began to be a little desperate, and cried loudly at the starry sky.
Far away, those red eyes were always staring at Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao moved forward, the red eyes went forward, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the left, the red eyes went to the left, always separated from Lin Xiaoxiao by a sand dune, not far away.
Lin Xiaoxiao lay on the sand dune, looking at the starry sky with tears in her eyes, and muttered to herself: "Mom, where are you? What should my daughter do? You tell me!"
The starry sky in the sky blinked, and in a trance, Lin Xiaoxiao's ears seemed to hear Qin Fang's words again: "Xiaoxiao, you have to be strong, you have to be brave......"
"Smile, no matter when, never give up easily......"
"Xiaoxiao, mom loves you, you have to take good care of yourself......"
Lin Xiaoxiao's mind flashed the picture of Qin Fang, as if he saw his mother Qin Fang smiling at him in another time and space.
Lin Xiaoxiao was in a trance, and the low howl of the "red-eyed monster" came from her ears.
Lin Xiaoxiao was furious, and the person suddenly sobered up, turned over, and looked back, but there was nothing.
Lin smiled and said angrily: "You brute, you also want to beat my idea, see which of us cleans up first? Let's wait and see." ”
Lin Xiaoxiao walked in the direction of the moon sinking in the west, and the stars in the sky were dense, like a street market in the world.
Lin Xiaoxiao stepped on the sand dunes, walking alone under the starlight, and for a while he couldn't tell whether he was in the sky or the street market in the sky fell into this desert.
The gray canopy and sand dunes all around are connected, and there is no end!
Lin Xiaoxiao could only hear the sand under his feet and his own heartbeat rising and falling with each other, and a powerful loneliness and uncertain pressure hit Lin Xiaoxiao.
At this moment, without Mo Yuanshan's ridicule and noise, Lin Xiaoxiao's heart was almost crushed by the silent night around him.
At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao understood why Mo Yuanshan always laughed with himself along the way, and even didn't forget to joke when danger came.
It turns out that in such a desert without people, people are so small, lonely and frightened.
Once people's hearts are controlled by this kind of loneliness, helplessness and fear, it is very easy to lose their fighting spirit and judgment.
