Because of the hot and dry weather in the northwest, Chen Qiong has been drinking water non-stop, running to the toilet a few times in the morning, and she didn't feel much in the afternoon.

Chen Qiong finished going to the toilet, looking at herself in the mirror of the washstand, the whole person was yellow for a while, she reached out and touched her neck, she could feel a layer of yellow sand, and her black hair was also wrapped in a layer of floating sand, she frowned, and quickly went back to the dormitory to take a shower and head, and her tense dry skin face also made her sigh, and she made up half a bottle of skin care water before stopping.

When she went to the cafeteria to eat, Chen Qiong couldn't eat after only two bites, and the wind and sand that would blow up from time to time outside also made her walk around the dormitory after a few laps outside.

This night, she slept until five o'clock in the morning, she couldn't sleep at all, tossed and turned in bed for a long time, and finally squatted on the recliner on the balcony with a slightly thicker blanket and looked at Mingsha Mountain opposite, her eyes were dull, and her head was empty.

At half past five, I heard movement in the cafeteria downstairs, Chen Qiong, who hadn't eaten anything last night, put on a coat over her pajamas and went down, but she only saw that Aunt Liu cleaning the window the day before yesterday.

"Auntie, morning." Although she couldn't sleep, she was still sleepy, referred to as insomnia, and her spirit was not good, and she was a little lacking in energy when she spoke.

"It's early, Sasha, why did you get up so early." Aunt Liu raised her head and rubbed the rag in her hand twice in the water, "Breakfast is still being made in it." ”

Chen Qiong glanced at the translucent kitchen behind the window, some people in white chef clothes were busy in an orderly manner, those things looked delicious, but she had no appetite to eat: "Auntie, do you have a sour appetizer soup here to drink?" ”

"No appetite?" When Aunt Liu heard this, her expression suddenly became serious, thinking of the incident the night before yesterday, and she stopped rubbing the rag on her hand, "I saw that you suddenly ran out the night before yesterday, did you have a bad stomach, Mr. Guan also told me no, I see, you didn't come to dinner last night, and today your spirit has been greatly reduced." ”

Aunt Liu is in charge of dinner, she is old, she can't sleep in the morning, she will come over to help wipe the table and clean something, she wanted to ask Chen Qiong last night if the food she made was not clean, but she didn't see it all night,

Chen Qiong shook her head lightly and evenly, and she laughed out loud when she was not energetic: "Teacher Guan is right, I didn't have a bad stomach." ”

Because the culprit who made her run away was Guan Ji.

"I just don't have an appetite and can't eat."

"The surface of the slurry water has a sour taste, but it's not on today's menu, and it won't be until tomorrow." Aunt Liu put her heart at ease, lowered her head and wiped the platform where the food was to be placed behind, thinking that when Guan Ji came to eat last night, she said that Chen Qiong was from Suzhou and Hangzhou, probably because she couldn't eat the smell of mutton, so she didn't come to dinner, and turned around and went into the kitchen, "Sasha, wait, I went to the supermarket yesterday to buy mash and cook you a bowl to drink." ”

Guan Ji, who is accustomed to getting up early, just went to the cafeteria, and ran into Aunt Liu opening a small stove for Chen Qiong, and immediately raised her hand and shouted at the top of her voice: "There is also a bowl here." ”

Aunt Liu hurriedly responded with a smile and knew that she was busy in the kitchen.

Chen Qiong, who was sitting, held her cheek with one hand, turned her head to look at Guan Ji, and asked, "What does Sasha mean?" ”

"Pretty girl." Guan Ji sat down opposite Chen Qiong and explained, "Aunt Liu is from Lanzhou, so there will be some Lanzhou dialects mixed in the words." ”

Chen Qiong nodded, and after saying "oh", her hands were stacked together on the table, and the whole person softened weakly, and her head lay on her hands.

Guan Ji lowered his eyes and looked at Chen Qiong, the emotion in his eyes was faint, as if he was looking for something to look at in order to pass the time, until the mash was cooked, he withdrew his gaze, got up and went to the window to bring it over.

Chen Qiong woke up after a nap, lying on her stomach to watch Guan Ji walk over and walk back, she felt her stomach swell when she looked at a bowl of mash, and she lost her appetite again, but at this time she said that she didn't want to eat and it was not good, and found that Guan Ji on the opposite side quickly ate half of it, she plucked up her courage, reached out and knocked on the table, and smiled as if flattering: "You work hard, do you want to eat another bowl?" ”

"Chen Qiong." Guan Ji glanced at Chen Qiong's bowl that didn't move, Aunt Liu was the most generous one in the cafeteria, and the bowl used to hold the mash she bought at her own expense was the kind of wide-mouthed sea bowl, and teased, "Do you think I am a pig?" ”

Chen Qiong blushed with shame on her face, pursed her lips, and decided to stuff it into her stomach, but as soon as she picked up the spoon, one hand reached over and took the bowl in front of her, and she looked up in surprise.

Guan Ji poured half of Chen Qiong's bowl into his own bowl, and there was still half left: "The climate here is different from that in the south and Beijing, the water in the body is lost quickly, and the body functions are also consumed, in addition to drinking more water, you also have to eat." ”

"I see." Chen Qiong was grateful, and her voice was raised.

She scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and when she was about to put it in her mouth, she was afraid that she would regurgitate when she ate one bite at a time, and she would vomit it out here, so she directly picked up the bowl with both hands, held her breath and drank the remaining half bowl of mash, and left immediately after saying hello, and as soon as she returned to the dormitory, she couldn't help but regurgitate and vomited it all.

I didn't vomit at all, but my stomach was hungry.

"Is it not adaptable?" When Aunt Liu in the cafeteria watched Chen Qiong leave, she thoughtfully said to Guan Ji, "Many people are easy to adapt to when they first come here, and that Sasha is also harmed by this, and she will suffer a lot when she looks at it." ”

Guan Ji drank the last mouthful of mash in the bowl and frowned: "This is the third day of coming." ”

Aunt Liu helped Chen Qiong glare: "The physique of other girls is a little weaker, didn't you say that they are from Suzhou and Hangzhou, they have been raised in that water spirit place since they were children, and they have never stayed on the Gobi Desert in the northwest. ”

Guan Ji pursed his lips and said nothing, shook his head, went back to the dormitory, cleaned up and went to the cave.

Chen Qiong, who had been lying on the bed without energy, also realized that she was most likely unaccustomed to the soil, so she took out some gastrointestinal medicine prepared by her father Chen Jishan for her in advance and ate it, and went to the scenic store in Mogao Grottoes to buy a few bottles of yogurt to nourish her stomach.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Qiong was lying on the bed, her eyelids were half drooping, she was holding the mobile phone in her hand that was still talking to her father, and the voice of her relatives in her ears also gave her a little peace of mind and belonging.

One wall repair will always forget the time of the pass also came out of the cave, locked the cave's security door, flashlight to the dormitory, halfway through, saw that the underground road was just out of the moon to shine brighter, he also turned off the flashlight, copied the flashlight into the wide overalls trouser pocket.

Two beams of light suddenly appeared in the direction of Dunhuang, and when the beam became closer, it was clear that a commuter car was coming, the car stopped at the gate of the research institute, and a mentally healthy old man came down, dressed in a neat tunic suit, and thanked the driver with a full voice, and watched the commuter car leave before he was ready to turn around and go to the courtyard, because his legs and feet were not good, and he was still on sandalwood crutches.
