Volume 3 The Ghost Boat of the Sand Sea Chapter 45 A Sad Ending

"So what should I do?" Xu Yunshu asked anxiously, "He hid there for a while, and he couldn't hide for a lifetime!" What does he eat and drink? ”

I shook my head: "Lao Gu and those who run long distances, because they drive in no man's land most of the time, they always have some dry food and water on the car, so in a short time, Lao Gu can still survive." ”

"Whew~ That's okay!" Xu Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Gu thought that he could eat and drink for himself, and he could stay in the car for a while longer, and when those wolves were hungry and thirsty, he would naturally leave."

"Yes, those wolves don't have food or water!" The jar said happily.

"Let's take this for granted. Let me ask you, what if someone is hungry and thirsty when a dozen of us go to squat together to guard one person? I asked the jar.

"I don't know this, take turns to eat and take turns to rest!" The jar replied.

I said, "Yes, that's it." That's what the wolves did. They go out in batches to drink water and forage for food, and whether it is hot or cold, they all guard the tanker trucks tightly, and none of them will leave. ”

"I'll go, isn't it, this wolf is so smart?" The jar was a little unconvinced.

"Believe it or not, but it's true!" I said to the jar.

After three or four days, he ate all the water and food in the old car. He really had no choice, so he wanted to open the car door and escape in the dark. But as soon as there was a knock on his door, a wolf pounced. He tried several times without success. At one point even the wolf bit his shoe, and he had to untie it and let the wolf take it away. Without shoes, Lao Gu's hope of abandoning the car and escaping is even more slim. He had to wait, wait for someone to come and save him. So he had to keep going. ”

"But...... Isn't there no water and food left? Xu Yunshu asked.

"Yes, there is no water or food, but there is still a wolf carcass in the carriage, isn't it? On the first night of the siege, Lao Gu released all the blood that could be released from the wolf's corpse, and then stored it for the lack of water and food......

"He was quite prescient." Jar said.

"But how many days can that little bit of blood, such a small wolf corpse, last? Animals that grow in such harsh environments tend to be relatively small. But it is precisely because of this that they are so resilient and refuse to give up, because they know that food is not easy to come by...... In order to survive, they have to hold on......"

"In order to be able to support more days, Lao Gu also collected all his urine and feces in case of emergency......

"This ...... Isn't this a little too disgusting......" Xu Yunshu couldn't bear to listen to it anymore.

I smiled wryly: "Disgusting? When people are really faced with death by hunger and thirst, survival is the most important thing, and the rest is not important...... Hunger is one of the things that most consumes human courage and perseverance...... If I had been in that situation, I would probably have made the same choice as him......"

"And then?" Xu Yunshu asked.

"The wolf corpse, blood, feces, and urine only made Lao Gu persist for about twenty more days, and he had to eat as little as possible every day, but in the end he ate it all...... He ate everything he could eat, drank everything he could, and he couldn't pull anything out anymore and couldn't pee...... For the next two days, Lao Gu did not eat anything or drink a drop of water. In such a desperate state of hunger and thirst, he spent another night...... The next morning, Lao Gu reluctantly opened his eyes, and saw a row of dew hanging from the edge of the carriage outside, he licked his lips, which were already chapped and white, and laboriously rolled down the window by a slit, which was only enough for him to stretch his fingers out. But just as he put his finger out of the window, there was a loud bang, and a black shadow hit the window, and the row of dew shook and fell, and at the same time, the window that had fallen off was knocked off another piece of glass......

"This ...... This ......" Xu Yunshu and Tanzi were so surprised that they couldn't speak.

"Lao Gu desperately rolled up the window, but then there were several violent impacts, the crack in the window was getting bigger and bigger, and finally Lao Gu watched the window being shattered, and then a wolf pounced on it from the outside, Lao Gu had not eaten for many days, and he had no strength to resist at all, so he could only let the hungry wolf bite ......"

"That'...... And after that? Xu Yunshu hurriedly asked.

I let out a sigh of relief: "When people found Lao Gu, his person was not in the car, but dozens of meters away from the car, and he was ...... All that's left is a pile of bones...... People also recognized it from the tattered clothes on his body......"

"Dead ...... He's dead? Xu Yunshu asked with a glare, she thought that this story would have another ending, Lao Gu insisted on being rescued or a miracle happened and escaped.

"Where in this world have so many miracles happening, and there are just more cruel realities!" I turned my head to the jar and shouted: "Hey~ Now you know why I asked you to hurry up, right?" ”

"Huh? Now that Lao Gu is dead, how do you know what he went through? Jarzi asked.

"Lao Gu had a habit of keeping a diary, and he wrote down everything he experienced in the last days of his life in a diary until he saw the dewdrops...... As for the latter ones, they are all simulated guesses by the police based on the evidence and evidence remaining at the scene! I stood up and said to Tanzi and Xu Yunshu, "I told you about this just to tell you that the desert is not as simple as you think...... Isn't it, Azmat? ”

In his stiff Chinese, Azmat said, "Mr. Pei is right, everything in the desert cannot be underestimated...... The wolf in the desert is indeed like he said, he will not stop until he achieves his goal, either it dies or the target dies! ”

I looked up at the beautiful Milky Way in the sky and said with a smile: "The Milky Way here is indeed beautiful, but for some reason, it always looks less cordial than in my hometown...... Perhaps more than a thousand years ago, Du Fu also looked at such a night sky and felt it, but he looked at the moon and we looked at the Milky Way...... Okay, we're tired today, so let's rest early, and we'll have to continue tomorrow! With that, I went back to the tent. Then Tanzi and Azmat came in with him.

At night, we all got into our sleeping bags. This sleeping bag is made of velvet cotton, which is very warm. But even so, we can still feel the cold......
