Chapter 18: Two Standouts

Zhang Hui, Bai Xinxin and Guo Mei ran around the desert without any purpose.

After dawn that day, they continued to move forward, and Guo Mei was the first to find - there was a car in front of them!

It was a white Wrangler.

Zhang Hui and Bai Xinxin were stunned, and then they walked quickly towards the car.

Guo Mei seemed to be tired and stupid, she followed behind, staggering, and there was no surprise on her face.

Bai Xinxin was the first to rush to the Wrangler, opened the car door, looked inside, and shouted, "No one!" ”

Zhang Hui also ran over, and the car was empty.

The keys are still in the car.

Bai Xinxin jumped up and tried to make a fire, but it caught fire. However, all kinds of meters did not respond.

Zhang Hui found a piece of wire from the car, opened the fuel tank cap, and tried it, and there was still half a tank of fuel.

At this time, Guo Mei also came over. She didn't say anything, she climbed into the car and lay down in the back seat, as if she had just returned home from overtime, returned to the comfortable big bed, muttered, "This world is so beautiful...... and then stopped moving.

Zhang Hui screwed the fuel tank cap, and then said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a car when there is no way out!" ”

Then he looked around, and there were a lot of stray footprints around the Wrangler. Looking into the distance, you can clearly see the ruts of this car.

He jumped into the passenger seat and said to Bai Xinxin, "Follow the rut." ”

Bai Xinxin started the car, turned around, and drove forward along the rut.

After driving a while, Zhang Hui looked back at Guo Mei and suddenly said, "Stop!" ”

Bai Xinxin said, "What's wrong? ”

He also looked back and was stunned - the back seat was empty, and Guo Mei was not seen at all!

He looked at Zhang Hui and said, "Didn't she come up just now?" ”

Zhang Hui said, "It's coming up." ”

He climbed into the back seat and looked towards the storage space, but Guo Mei was still nowhere to be seen. He muttered, "This little girl has evaporated? Let's go, let's go back. ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Where are you going?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "The place where I got on the bus just now." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "At least 3 kilometers, this little oil ......"

Zhang Hui said: "If you talk nonsense, I will confiscate your driver's license." ”

Bai Xinxin turned around and said, "What if I can't find it?" Did you follow the footprints all the way back to the Moon Tomb? ”

Zhang Hui did not speak.

Half an hour later, the rut was gone.

Zhang Hui and Bai Xinxin got out of the car and searched everywhere, they searched every sand dune, but there was no trace of Guo Mei. Zhang Hui shouted at the top of his voice: "Guo Mei! - Guo Mei! - Guo Mei! - Guo Mei! ——”

His cry was swallowed up by the desert, and there was not a single echo.

When the two men returned to the car, they stopped talking.

Zhang Hui said: "After she climbed into the car, she seemed to mumble something? ”

Bai Xinxin said: "I heard it, she said, this world is so beautiful. ”

Zhang thought about it for a while and said, "It's so strange, it seems to be a farewell word......

Bai Xinxin said: "However, even if she is dead, there should be a corpse." ”

After a long time, Zhang Hui said, "She may go back." ”

Bai Xinxin said: "Where are you back?" ”

Zhang Hui said: "In that fairy tale. ”

Bai Xinxin said nervously: "You won't think about going back to that forest to find her!" ”

Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "She's so tired, even if she finds her, she definitely doesn't want to run anymore." If she did return to that forest, she would definitely become a flower, which would be fine...... Let's go. ”

The two men got into the car, turned around again, and drove forward.

On the way, Zhang Hui kept looking out the window, silent.

Bai Xinxin asked, "Where did this car come from?" Their camp? ”

Zhang Hui didn't speak.

After a while, Bai Xinxin began to answer herself: "We will definitely find their camp by following the rut, then we will be saved." ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

Bai Xinxin asked again: "Why did they throw this car?" ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

After a while, Bai Xinxin began to answer to herself again: "Maybe they still have a car, in order to save fuel." ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

Bai Xinxin asked again: "But why didn't they take the oil from this car away?" ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

After a while, Bai Xinxin began to answer herself again: "Perhaps, they have enough gasoline." ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

Bai Xinxin asked again: "If they get into other cars, why don't they see the ruts of those cars?" ”

Zhang Hui still didn't speak.

This time, Bai Xinxin couldn't find the answer herself.

In fact, it was the cart of spoons and rice beans that they picked up. Where the spoon and the rice bean went, what they went through, no one knows.

They set off from our camp, Zhang Hui and Bai Xinxin followed the rut and walked for more than three hours, and finally saw the lake and the tent.

Bai Xinxin was excited: "Our camp! I see people! They're still there! ”

Zhang Hui still didn't say a word.

This was the next morning.

Zhang Hui and Bai Xinxin are back, and Guo Mei is magically missing.

Before that, there were three major events in total.

The night before, while I was standing guard, a man had snuck to the lake to test whether the spell could make the lake kill.

At that time, everything was silent, only the wind.

I looked at the lake and said in a low voice, "Now it's free!" ”

The lake didn't react.

I raised my voice a bit: "Now it's free!" ”

The water seemed to fluctuate, and then a night wind blew and the reeds swayed. I'm not sure if it's the spell at work or the wind at work.

I threw my head up and shouted into the night sky, "Now it's free!" ——”

The wind stopped, the water became calm, and the reeds stopped shaking.

I was getting discouraged.

It seems that reality is always reality, there are no miracles, and the magic lamp only exists in "One Thousand and One Nights".

But I was not reconciled, squatted down and shouted again: "Now start moving freely!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the water by the lake suddenly rippled, like a pot of water before boiling, and the surroundings began to "squeak and squeak", which is usually called "ringing edge".

I quickly looked around, and the plants were standing quietly and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I looked at my feet again, and there was no arthropod crawling over.

I looked at the lake in front of me again, and saw that the water in the middle of the lake was surging, and it seemed that many living creatures were swimming around quickly. I stared at the living creatures, trying to make out what they were.

Suddenly, a head popped out of the water, and I could see clearly, it was a baby! He sank his head into the water, and like a loach, he quickly swam up to me, and crawled out of the lake dripping with water. He was still naked, with a small tail dangling.

I stepped back and stepped back into the sand.

The baby climbed ashore and looked around, as if to determine who was talking, and finally he stared at me. Those two big round eyes hung on both sides of the bridge of the nose, so close that they were like Japanese cartoons.

I was staring at him too.

His hair is brown and thin, with strands sticking to his scalp. Maybe it's been soaked in the water for too long, and his skin is very white. It's strange why his hair is always so long?

I don't know what deep relationship he has with the spell.

I don't know what to say.

He looked at me for a moment, then suddenly showed an adult smile on his face and gave me a thumbs up! Then, as soon as he turned around, he plunged into the water and disappeared.

The splash quickly subsided and the lake returned to calm.

I walked to the lake and looked in, it was green, unfathomable, I couldn't see anything, only my own shaking reflection.

He gave me a thumbs up!

It's human action!

He's complimenting me?

What to praise me?

I can't figure it out. I shuddered at the thought of his smile.

Someone walked towards me, and I jerked back to see that it was white sand.

He walked up to me, stared at me, and asked, "Big guy, what are you shouting?" ”

I said, "I'm hanging my throat." ”

I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I knew he smiled: "Do you like to sing Peking Opera?" I thought humanoids were coming. ”

I said, "Perhaps, they're hiding under the sand." ”

Bai Sha said: "Next time you don't shout again, you should know the story of 'The Wolf is Coming'." If humanoids do come, we'll think you're hanging your throat. ”

I said, "What time is it?" ”

Bai Sha said: "It's less than 12 o'clock. ”

I said, "Go back to sleep, and I'll call you later." ”

Bai Sha said, "I can't sleep, you go to sleep." ”

I said, "You have to be careful. They don't have to come only from the earth. ”

Bai Sha said, "It's okay, even if they come from the ground, they are just a bunch of rats." ”

I said, "Don't stay at the lake, you have to go back to the tent." ”

Bai Sha said, "I know, you brought me here. ”

I said, "Then I'm leaving." ”

Bai Sha said, "Big coffee, wait." ”

I stopped and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

Bai Sha said, "Give me your electric stunner." ”

Without further hesitation, I took the stunner out of my pocket and handed it to him.

He took it and turned it upside down, and suddenly said, "Have you tried?" ”

I said, "I tried, there is electricity." ”

Bai Sha shook his head and said weirdly, "I mean, did it try it on you?" ”

I said, "It's okay, I'll try it for anything!" ”

"I just want to know how powerful it is," Baisha said. ”

I said, "It's okay to knock people down." ”

Bai Sha said, "Then it's no problem. ”

When I walked back to the tent, my heart was empty, and I always felt that the white sand was unreliable.

When I was 20 years old, I went from the army in Inner Mongolia to visit my family, and when I walked to Daqing, I ran out of money. I carried a Mongolian knife in my satchel, which I brought to a friend. In the middle of the night, I wandered around the square of Daqing Railway Station, at a loss.

At that time, I took another long-distance bus, walked for six or seven hours to get home, and the ticket was about a dozen yuan.

Thinking that back then, Qin Qiong sold the yellow horse at the end of the road, and I thought about it, so I could only sell the Mongolian knife. At that time, a Mongolian knife could be sold for 20 yuan, and I bought a ticket and could still eat a full stomach.

I saw two men near the flower bed in the square, with long hair and a pimple on their faces, very similar to ruffians. Travelers stayed away from them. But I walked straight to them, accosted them, and told them what I was going to do.

One of the men took my Mongolian knife, looked at it, and said, "No problem. But we don't have any money, you and we go home and pick it up, it's nearby. ”

I stupidly went with them.

I remember just after the rain, we walked into a narrow black alley with standing water on the ground, and we stepped on the bricks and walked forward. As we walked, the two men stopped, and the man with the Mongolian knife said to me, "Hey, have you ever cut this knife?" ”

I replied seriously: "New, no." ”

The man raised his knife and shook it, saying, "Then let's cut the blade on you." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Two big brothers, you take it, don't want money." ”

I remember vividly that when I left the narrow alley, another man shouted to me from behind: "Brother, next time you come to Daqing to visit the house!" ”

- Then let's cut the blade on you - 20 years have passed, and this sentence has always made my heart palpitate.

Just now, Bai Sha took the electric shocker and said to me in the dark, "Has it tried it on you?" ”

These two sentences are too similar.

When I got back to the tent, the juice was already asleep. She was still on her side, her sleeping bag wrapped around her head.

I lay down and couldn't sleep.

I felt like I had to keep my eyes open and continue to stand guard in the tent to guard against the person who was "standing guard" outside.

Thinking so, at dawn, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, and I fell asleep in a daze.

However, there was a vigilant string left in my brain, and as soon as it was dawn, I opened my eyes.

I got up and looked at the juice, she was still asleep. Close your eyes and the world is dark. Only in her dreams would she forget that she was blind and could even see the sun, the grass and the lake. As a result, she slept soundly.

I walked out and approached the tent next to me, and looked in through the screen window, and Ji Feng and Meng Xiaoshuai were also asleep. The petite Monsoon was facing the sky on his back, upright, while the tall Meng Xiaoshuai shrank next to the monsoon, and his head almost fell into Monsoon's arms.

I walked to the tent at the very edge again, and looked inside, where Wu Min was lying on his back on his sleeping bag, one hand reaching into the crotch of his pants, in an extremely indecent posture.

Bai Sha is very dedicated, he is standing guard.

Where is he standing guard?

I looked around, and there was no sign of him in the bare desert. I walked briskly to the lake, looked around, but still didn't see him. I suspected that he was relieved in the grass and shouted, "White sand! ——”

No one responded.

I then shouted, "White Sands! - What about people! ——”

Still no one responded.

I had a sense of foreboding.

I looked around along the grass by the lake, but there was no sign of white sand. But I found his footprints in the sand, and I followed them for half a kilometer before finally stopping - this guy had gone to the tomb.
