Chapter 21: A Biscuit for Every Meal......
Why did they come to the lake again?
I rushed over to rip off the arthropods, and found them very tough and slowly tightening. The juice is in **, and Wu Min is snorting. Wu Min's two forearms were propped up on both sides of Pulp's head, and it seemed that Pulp'er was not in danger of life. The most terrifying thing is the joint bone grass on Wu Min's neck, which has already strung out blood marks.
I didn't have time to shout and shouted, "Hold on!" I'll be right back! β
During the day I gathered the tools in the car, put a pair of tongs in the tent, and while shouting for help, I rushed into the tent, got the tongs, and rushed to the lake again.
When I returned to Wu Min and Pulp, Wu Min couldn't hold on anymore, and he collapsed on Pul'er's body.
Pulp said weakly, "Save us ......"
I pinched the joint grass around their necks with pliers, and it was as hard as wire, "Click! Click! "I cut them off. Strangely, the arthrophthrosis on their bodies moved quickly, leaving their bodies on their own, retracting into the deep grass, and disappearing.
I picked up Wu Min, his face was pale, he shook his head at me, and said softly, "Thank you......"
I dragged him away from the plants and put him on a bare sandy field. Then, Zhang Hui ran over first, and he hugged the pulp.
After both men were safe, the others also ran over.
Meng Xiaoshuai asked nonchalantly: "Are you fighting?" β
No one paid attention to her.
Pulp began to cry.
I said, "Why did you get to the lake?" β
Wu Min said: "We sat under the sand dunes and talked, more than 10 meters away from the lake, I didn't expect that those knuckle grasses crawled over, they wrapped around her feet and neck and dragged her away, I rushed up and grabbed her hand, I couldn't hold her at all, she was dragged into the reeds in the blink of an eye, I had no choice but to pounce on her......"
I shone a flashlight on Pulp's neck, and there were obvious strangulation marks.
I asked Oh Min, "How are you?" β
Wu Min touched his neck and said, "There's no problem." β
I said to Pulp, "Go back and rest, and I'll stand guard." β
Wu Min was not polite, he helped the juice to stand up and walked back to the tent.
Zhang Hui said: "I'll accompany you." β
I said, "No, you can go back to sleep." β
Meng Xiaoshuai whispered to me before leaving: "Boss Zhou, I'll go back and suck my mouth." β
I noticed that Wu Min sent the juice back to the tent, and the two of them talked for a while, and then Wu Min came out and returned to his and Bai Xinxin's tent.
I didn't leave, I looked at the moonlit lake, and the ghostly plants around it, and began to suspect that I was having a long nightmare.
Perhaps, I'm still in Lancheng, still living in that quiet two-bedroom apartment, and I'm writing a novel called "The Curse of Lop Nur". One day, I looked up a lot of information about Lop Nur on the Internet, and felt that many legends were unreliable, so I picked up a copy of "China Lop Nur" published by Science Press from the bookshelf, and it looked like an earthy yellow hard shell cover, which read: Editor-in-Chief: Xia Xuncheng. Deputy editors-in-chief: Wang Fubao, Zhao Yuanjie. However, this book is too "scientific" to help me. Finally I put it down, lay down on the bed, and began to reminisce about the time when I was a journalist and was trapped on the edge of Lop Nur......
Before I knew it, I fell asleep and fell into a weird dream.
Many days passed, and the neighbors never saw me go out, but no one paid attention to it, because my room did not smell of rotting flesh.
Monsoon called me and turned it off.
She went to my house to look for me, but no one ......
I was in a bed-like coma like a vegetative person, but my brain was experiencing another worldβthere was a group of humanoids living underground, there were babies walking through the water, the sky would turn, and occasionally two moons would appear, and there were flying people flying around like birds, and there was a lake, and the soft water would suddenly go crazy and kill people, and the plants around the lake were sneaky and often strangled people by surprise......
If this is a dream, then which person is real in the dream?
There are only monsoons.
All the teammates I met after "entering" Lop Nur, they didn't exist, including Huang Xi, Bai Xinxin, Haowai, Zhang Hui, Police Zhang Hui, Xu Erge, Wei Zao, Berry Juice, Bubu, Meng Xiaoshuai, Yi Wu, Wu Min, Jiang Mengxi, Zhou Zhidan, Lu Sanguo, Guo Mei, Ma Ran, Lao Ding, Xiao 5, Cong Zhen, Bibi, Dashan, Baisha, Miyamoto Shinobu, Weiwei, Mi Suizi......
Including Linghu Mountain and all the humanoids who have appeared on Lop Nur.
Not even the juice exists.
She is just a girl I made up in my dreams, and the love between me and her is also imaginary.
So, does the monsoon exist?
Perhaps, even the monsoon does not exist.
In the real world, I don't have any assistants at all, and I'm not even a writer. Maybe I don't live in Lancheng either! Lancheng, is there a place name? I'm starting to get skeptical.
Perhaps, I live in the Northeast, I am still young, just a teenager, my age, my identity, my experience after entering Lop Nur, all are dreams.
I suddenly didn't dare to wake up.
I don't want to leave these people I know, I don't want to leave the life I'm already familiar with, even if I'm in a desperate situation right now......
A gust of wind blew, and I shook my head vigorously.
The lake is dark, the grass is dark, and the desert is dark. The moon was obscured by dark clouds.
It dawned on me that I was probably going crazy for all the nonsense I was thinking.
A peaceful night.
The next morning, everyone got up one after another. Wash up and have breakfast. Or 5 cookies per person.
There is still no sign of the monsoon.
I'm starting to worry againβhow much food did she take with her when she left? How much water? Could she have gotten lost like we did when we went to find the spoons in their camp?
While I was brushing my teeth, Pulp came up to me and whispered, "Are you angry?" β
I looked up at her and said vaguely, "What are you angry about?" β
Pulp said: "I just think that Wu Min has never given up, I should talk to him about it." β
I rinsed my mouth and said, "I told you that I will carry you to the wedding scene even if I carry you, and it will definitely not be smooth sailing in the middle, in my eyes, he is a stone in the way." β
Pulp nodded vigorously.
I put my toothbrush away and sat down with her in front of the tent. After a moment of silence, Pulp said, "What do you think...... Does he have a point? β
I said, "What did he say?" β
"Debate." β
I said, "There is some truth. However, there are many angles of things, I say it is the ridge and he says it is the peak, who do you say is right and who is wrong? I only know one thing β love is unreasonable. β
"What about marriage?" β
I said, "You've been brainwashed by him." β
Pulp didn't refute, just looked at me.
I said, "Why do you have to divide love and marriage into the Chu River and Han realms?" When we are married, we are still in love until we die of old age. β
At this time, someone called me: "Boss Zhou! β
I looked up, and Zhang Hui came over.
He came up to me and asked, "The monsoon hasn't come back yet?" β
I said, "No." β
Zhang Hui said: "It's not a way to wait like this. Shall we strike? β
I said, "What do you think?" β
Zhang Hui said: "Go to the ancient tomb, find Monsoon, and then talk directly to Linghu Mountain." We have cars, and if the talks fall apart, simply run them flat. β
I said, "After today, if she hasn't heard from her yet, we'll go tomorrow." β
I saw Oh Min come out of the tent next to him, he had just stepped out of the tent, he suddenly shook a little, and then slowly fell down.
Meng Xiaoshuai was sorting out her backpack next to her, she was closer to Wu Min, and shouted: "Wu Min! What happened to you! Then he ran over.
Zhang Hui and I ran over.
Wu Min was lying in Meng Xiaoshuai's arms, his face was extremely ugly.
Meng Xiaoshuai dragged him into the tent, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water for him, and said, "Why did you fall down when you were so good?" Is there something wrong with it? β
Wu Min struggled to sit up and said weakly, "It's okay, it's just that my head is dizzy." β
I walked over and looked over his neck, and there were a lot of band-aids on it, covering the blood marks from the joints. I was a little worried and said, "That arthrosis isn't poisonous......"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
I heard Pulp cry and ran out crying.
After a while, she walked into the tent with a pack of biscuits in her hand, stuffed it into Wu Min's hand, and said loudly, "You give me food!" β
Wu Min said: "I'm not hungry......"
With tears in her eyes, she said to us, "He's hungry!" He only eats one cookie per meal! How can such a big person, a piece of biscuit! There are not enough kittens and puppies! He gave me all the cookies he saved, and he didn't listen to me no matter what I said! β
Meng Xiaoshuai's eyes became wet all of a sudden.
I remembered that yesterday I heard Juice yelling at him in the tent, and it must have been because of the biscuits.
Wu Min seemed a little embarrassed when he saw that the juice had poked this thing out, and he said, "I have a small amount of food...... It's been small. β
I squatted down and said a little sadly, "Wu Min, you have to eat." Now, if we have 5 cookies each, then we will eat 5. Tomorrow, we will eat 4 biscuits each, then we will eat 4 biscuits. Until one day, we only have one cookie left, and we eat the last cookie together...... This is called life and death together. β
Oh Min nodded at me, and then he grabbed two biscuits and stuffed them into his mouth, munching on them while weeping.
Bai Xinxin suddenly said: "I can't go on like this." Let's go grab it. β
I said, "Where to grab it?" β
Bai Xinxin said: "Go to the humanoids and rob them." β
I said, "We're going to die!" β
Bai Xinxin said: "Aren't we waiting for death if we go on like this!" β
I said, "Wait, if the monsoon doesn't come back today, I'll talk to them tomorrow." β
Bai Xinxin said: "You keep saying to talk about it, have you moved?" β
While arguing, a voice came from the desert: "Boom! ...... "It was as if something had fallen from the sky and smashed into the desert, and the whole ground seemed to shake a little."
We hurried out.
Looking around, the desert was bare, and there was no fall. I raised my binoculars to look again, and there was a faint black smoke rising from one spot due east.
This thing should be very huge and fall at least 5 kilometers away.
Bai Xinxin said: "I'll drive to see." β
Meng Xiaoshuai said: "I'll go with her." β
I said, "Go ahead, be careful." β
The remnants of the sun are like blood.
I held the binoculars and kept looking due east, but I never saw Bai Xinxin and Meng Xiaoshuai come back. My arms are sore.
I returned to my tent, sat down, and waited anxiously.
Suddenly, Zhang Hui ran into my tent: "Boss Zhou! Monsoon is coming with Linghu Mountain! β
