I sat around the fire with the map, smoked and chatted, discussed many details about Wenbin's rescue, and expanded the search area as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the safety of the rescue team.

Around one o'clock in the morning, the map was already yawning vigorously against the sand, so I added some firewood to the fire and patted the map on the shoulder.

"Map, change them, let's go rest".

Woke up the bull and the monkey, and got into the tent separately with the map.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, I climbed out of the tent, the fire had been extinguished, and I stood in front of the tent.

"Everyone, get up and eat, eat and get ready to go."

I was in a good mood after a safe night in the desert.

Received.

"Okay".

"It's like urging life," Xiao Yue said.

"Monkey, get up," I shouted into the monkey's tent.

After a few calls, but no response, the map was outside the tent, and the monkey's tent was lifted.

"Huh", and then pulled the tent open. Through the gap, I realized that there was no one in the tent.

"Monkey, monkey, where?" I shouted.

"Monkey, your uncle, it's time to eat, come back quickly" Xiaoyue shouted.

"Pack up the tent first, is this kid looking for a place to," the map said.

After a few people packed up their belongings, they still couldn't help but panic when there was still no trace of the monkey.

Leaving the team in the desert is a big no-no. This vast sea of sand hides countless potential dangers, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.

Although the monkey is younger than us and has a jumpy personality, this kid has been mixed with us for so many years, and he knows what he should and shouldn't do.

"Da Niu, are you with the monkey in the middle of the night?" I asked.

"Ah Yi, you know when the monkey and I went out to keep vigil, at first I sat by the fire in a daze. There's not much to do on this big night. I watched the monkey fiddling with the iron skewers that he picked up yesterday, during which the monkey said that his stomach hurt, and I laughed at his indigestion from eating snake meat, so he went to the toilet in the sand dunes behind us, and came back after a while. At about five o'clock in the morning, the monkey told me that the sun had risen and there was nothing dangerous, so he said that he would go back to the tent and sleep again to replenish his strength, and I also felt that there was nothing wrong, so I went back to the tent to sleep, I was just woken up by you, and I don't know what happened during this period."

Listening to the description of the big cow, the monkey's reaction was normal.

I went into the monkey's tent and found that the monkey's equipment, dry food, and drinking water were all there. What made me curious was that the kid's jacket, shoes, and even underwear were taken off and piled up in the corner of the tent. It's hard for this kid to run naked.

I told a few people in the team about this, and they were stunned. Could it be that the monkey ate the sand python and was poisoned. But a few people present, except for Xiao Yue, this sand python meat ate more or less.

I looked at my watch and thought for a moment.

"The monkeys were all with them, and it was six and ten o'clock, and it had been about fifteen minutes since we came out of the tent. The big cow and the monkey went into the tent to sleep around five o'clock in the morning. In terms of time, the monkey should not go too far, he is still barefoot, and it will be very inconvenient to move."

I was thinking that a barefoot, naked man, walking in the desert, even if he ran as fast as he could, would not be able to go far.

"The four of us divided into two teams, looked around the neighborhood, radioed as a liaison, the two teams contacted every ten minutes, and the safety rope was fastened. Each team of two people should keep a distance of about 10 meters between the front and back, tie the rope around the waist, and mark the route along the way. The monkey has no shoes on, he can't go far, and whether or not he finds a trace of the monkey, after two hours, he must meet here, I and Xiaoyue are in a team, and Da Niu is in a team with the map."

"Good"

"Stay safe"

"Wait, take this".

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she took out two serums from the miniature incubator in her equipment backpack and handed them to the map.

"In case you are kissed by a scorpion, give yourself a needle first, take it in case of danger, how to use it, you two know" Xiao Yue said.

"The monkey has been missing for less than an hour, and now there is no wind in the desert, so pay more attention to the footprints on the sand and the back of the dunes, and contact us in time if there is a situation," I said.

Two teams, all four with binoculars in their hands, searched in opposite directions, in a Z-shaped route.

In the desert, every step is strenuous, time passes, and the temperature in the desert is constantly rising.

"Monkey, monkey".

"Monkey, where are you, talk back," Xiao Yue shouted.

This kind of search without clues is actually difficult to achieve the desired effect.

In fact, each of us has a signal transmitter equipped with a locator, and the receiving device can easily display the approximate location of each person.

But the monkey should have run away naked, which added a lot of difficulty to the search for him.

Around seven o'clock, the temperature in the desert had risen, and the heat wave in the air was blowing, taking away the moisture from my body, and even the sweat on my face had been evaporated before I had time to wipe it.

"Map, map, get a reply," I said into the radio.

"Ah Yi, I'm all normal, no clues," the map said.

"Go ahead, stay safe, stay connected".

……

Along the way, where the telescope could see, Xiaoyue and I took a closer look.

As long as there are slightly larger sand dunes, we have to go and have a look, for fear that the monkeys will pass out and the sand dunes will block our view.

They replied to me, but there was still no trace of the monkey. From the camp where we departed, we didn't even find any footprints of monkeys.

In the desert, constant shouting is a huge drain on physical energy. My throat was dry and itchy, as if it had been ground with sandpaper.

Xiao Yue covered her mouth and nose with a scarf, panting heavily.

"Brother Yi, I can't walk anymore, if you carry me back now, I will be your person."

I turned around and pulled the safety rope that was tied to our bodies, trying to save her some effort, Xiaoyue was dragged to the length by me, and we sat on the sand.

"Grandma, you just let me feel cool now, and I can't carry you when I go back."

Constant shouting, feeling like my lungs were going to explode. The disappearance of the monkey makes me very uncomfortable, and this rescue team is led by me, and it is my responsibility to bring everyone back safely, regardless of whether Moon Bin can be saved this time or not.

"Jiang Yi, your uncle, I'll go to make it convenient, don't peek."

Xiao Yue got up and untied the safety rope and found a sand dune behind me, and even if I stood on tiptoe, I could only see her head.

Besides, I'm a romantic person, but not lewd.

"Brother Yi, help". Xiao Yue's shout suddenly came.

"Don't do this," I shouted at her.

"Ah, help, Brother Yi".

This time the shouting has been broken, no, Xiao Yue is in danger, I was startled, and ran over in a few big strides.

I stood at the top of the sand dune, and I saw that the bottom of the sand dunes was densely packed with scorpions.

Their pale yellow bodies, similar in color to the sand, are centered on Xiao Yue's location, and within a radius of ten meters, there are no less than 10,000 of them.

I feel that my scalp is numb, scorpions are common in the desert, but these nearly 10,000 scorpions, it is difficult for Xiao Yue to splash urine and flush the scorpion nest.

"Brother Yi, save me" Xiao Yue's tone trembled.

Standing there, motionless, a few scorpions had even climbed onto Xiao Yue's shoes, if it weren't for the trouser leg being fastened, those scorpions would definitely get into the trouser leg, and the tail pin of a scorpion had been slightly raised, the outdoor clothes we were wearing, although they were strong, but they definitely couldn't prevent scorpions.

"Xiaoyue, don't move, don't move, breathe slowly, don't shake your body, I'll save you."

My brain was racing, and I was looking at what was available around me.

"Good".

Xiao Yue's voice was weak, staring at me, tears rolling in her eyes, trying to control it from letting the tears flow, for fear of alarming the scorpion.

"Xiaoyue, listen to me, I'll run to you, listen to me shout, one, two, three, just jump into my arms, I'll definitely be able to catch you, Brother Xinyi."

"Save me" Xiao Yue's mouth moved slightly, and she said these three words.

Take a few steps back, run forward with all your might, and rush towards the scorpion swarm.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, I feel that with every step, dozens of scorpions under my feet are trampled to death.

"One, two, three, little jump," I shouted.

Xiao Yue took a step, bowed her legs, and fell into my arms half-pounce and half-jump.

With the strength of her forward rush, I used all my strength to throw her to my starting position the moment she fell into my arms.

After Xiao Yue touched the ground, she rolled her body and crushed several scorpions that had already crawled on her.

Quickly got up in a kneeling position and stepped back a meter, stood across from me, and shouted.

"Brother Yi, come back quickly, come back quickly." Xiao Yue was already crying when she spoke.

At this time, the dense scorpion had crawled up to my leg along the upper of the shoe.

Soon, it covered the base of my thighs, layer after layer, and I could even clearly feel the touch of the scorpion crawling on my body.

There are so many scorpions, even if they are not poisonous, one stabs me, and it can hurt me to death.

Besides, I haven't heard of any kind of scorpion that is non-poisonous, let alone having two serums in my pocket. That's the number of scorpions, even if Jesus comes, he can't save me, I said.

"Brother Yi, jump over here, run."

Xiao Yue on the other side was already crying. At this time, I had already taken off my jacket and held it in my hand, and I was about to run over to drive away the scorpion on my body.

"Leave me alone, if you want to come in, we both have to give our lives here. Let's go, find the map and the bull, this rescue can't be done for you"

At this moment, the neck is already crawling with dark yellow scorpions, and I can even smell the characteristic fishy smell of the scorpions.

"Your uncle, don't talk nonsense, Brother Yi, come back quickly, Brother Yi"

I heard Xiao Yue's cry in my ears, and when the first scorpion crawled on my face, I closed my eyes and waited for death to come.

It may hurt a scorpion to sting me, but with hundreds of scorpions shooting at the same time, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to cry out for pain, and I will die of nerve paralysis.

After so many years of exploring, I thought I might die in many ways. I didn't expect to be stung to death by a scorpion, if I knew that something like this would happen, that night, I should have done it to Xiaoyue. This was my truest thought at the time, and I felt a faint tingling sensation in my neck, and my eyes went black and I fell.

……

A faint fragrance came into my nose, I felt some itching on my face, and slowly opened my eyes, it was a crying face, and tear stains were visible.

There was also something soft touching my head, and I realized that I was lying in Xiaoyue's arms, and it was her hair hanging down my face.

"Brother Yi, you finally woke up, scared me to death."

Xiao Yue saw me wake up, and her voice was a little trembling, with a slight cry.

"Ahem, ahem, Xiaoyue has developed for the second time."

Sitting up from Xiao Yue's arms, I found that I had returned to the camp at this moment, the sun was setting, and the big cow and the map were making a fire not far away, seeing me wake up, I smiled, and glanced at Xiao Yue again, Xiao Yue glared back.

"Let me tell you, I unilaterally announced that Jiang Yi is the old lady's, and you old men are not allowed to take him to those unclean places in the future."

"What about going?" Map said with a smile.

"Xiao Yue, don't worry, I won't take Ah Yi unless he begs me," Da Niu said.

"Also, I like men" Da Niu's last words made Xiao Yue laugh too.

What Xiao Yue said just now made me a little embarrassed, and just about to speak, Xiao Yue turned around and looked at me again, and said seriously.

"The old lady asked you, do you agree if I am your girlfriend".

I was stunned, not knowing how to answer, when the map next to the fire suddenly tore open my throat and shouted "I agree".

"What about you, don't you like me?" Xiao Yue asked, holding my face.

"Uh, okay".

I pretended to hesitate and said, my heart was already happy.

"Xiaoyue, don't make a fuss yet, tell me what happened, is there any news from the monkey, and shouldn't I have been stung to death by a scorpion, how did I come back."

Xiao Yue took a cup of hot water from Da Niu and handed it to me, telling me what happened after I fainted.

"After you fall, soon your body is crawling with dense scorpions, layer by layer, like wriggling dark yellow dunes, burying you. I took out a cocktail stick from my bag, lit it and approached you little by little, you desperately save me, I can't watch your corpse being eaten by scorpions," Xiao Yue said.

"That's interesting," I took a sip of hot water and listened carefully to Xiaoyue's words.

"At that time, my idea was that if I couldn't snatch your body, I Xiaoyue would accompany you, and I was really stung to death by a scorpion in this vast desert, and I was willing. You died to save me, and it's not interesting for me to live. Ah Yi, you know how high the temperature of this burning stick is, but when I brought the burning stick close to the group of scorpions, they didn't react at all, they didn't mean to retreat at all, and I could even smell the aroma of the scorpions after being roasted by the burning stick. The incendiary rod is gone, but there are still too many scorpions on you. I took out the radio contact map, sent them the coordinates, and sat across from you staring at you. There have been times when I even impulsively wanted to lie on top of you and die with you, but I felt that if I really did that, your death would be too unworthy. After about ten minutes, suddenly a few shrill voices came. Looking for the sound, near the sand dunes not far away, there was a man standing naked. I was sure it was the monkey, "Monkey, come and help," I shouted at the monkey, but he ignored me, turned and walked away, and when I ran near the dune, I found that the monkey had disappeared again. At first, I suspected that I was dazzled, but I found that there were indeed footprints in the position of the figure, and I was sure that there was indeed a person standing there. When I turned around and returned to you, I found that the scorpion crawling on you was dispersing little by little, and when the scorpion was gone. I found that you still have weak breathing, so I injected you with serum, and did a whole body examination, you are really fatal, those scorpions crawling on you, only bite you, and the toxin is very weak. But when I examined you, I found that you must have been pricked in the back by something, leaving a wound about the size of my little fingernail, and I was sure that it was not a scorpion bite. Later, the map and the bull arrived, and they took turns carrying you back here, and then you woke up."

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, I couldn't help but sigh that my life was big, this is because God doesn't accept me.

"Xiaoyue, you said that the monkey appeared behind us and watched me being besieged by the scorpion swarm," I asked with some confusion.

"Hmm," Xiao Yue nodded in agreement.

"Ah Yi, Xiao Yue shouldn't be dazzled, that person is a monkey Yes, when we return here, we find that the monkey's things are gone, and he must have come back." This desert is so large, we won't meet a second group of people who also came here, and they happened to meet us, and they could find our camp accurately, but they took away the monkey's things, and the probability of these things coming together is too small."

"By the way, Xiaoyue, how did this group of scorpions appear, did you fart in the scorpion's nest?"

"Jiang Yi, my day your uncle" Xiao Yue grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at me.

"Ah Yi, look, what is this?" The big bull exclaimed!
