Chapter 296: Meeting
"The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river", this eternal swan song shows people the twilight scene of the desert outside the Saiwai with the combination of movement and static, and the appropriate shade of brushstrokes, which makes people feel refreshed and have endless aftertaste.
This time, Ning Xiao came to the Black Continent, whether it was in the vast desert or the infinitely expanding wasteland, he would involuntarily think of this poem. Of course, the scene is different.
As the sun sets, the quicksand rolls slowly like golden waves, urged by the wind. The low shrub silk swayed and trembled, like a jungle with a brush raising its hand, holding the round sunset in the palm of your hand. The world, which was still alive just a moment ago, suddenly fell silent, and everything gradually sank into twilight.
At this time, it is common to suddenly see a herd of camels slowly moving on the hazy horizon in the distance, at the top of the sand dunes. The towering hump obscured the sunset for half the day, carrying the heavy twilight, and I did not know where I would go tonight.
On the wasteland, Ning Xiao saw this sight more than once. Each time, I was enchanted by this picturesque and poetic scenery. However, the bitterness of a long journey in the desert is definitely something that can be felt.
Once, Ning Xiao encountered such a scene: two camel caravans met in the desert, as if they were relatives who had been separated for a long time, and the two sides shook hands warmly, hugged cordially, asked long and short questions, and cherished each other. When parting, he also bit a mark on the other party's arm to commemorate it. Sometimes the two sides kneel opposite each other, wish each other peace, and say goodbye with tears.
A new trek unfolds in front of us, and the future is bumpy, only the heavens know. In the face of an uncertain desert journey, this scene of almost going to death is extremely tragic and sad.
"Are there a lot of zombies here?" Ning Xiao asked. "How do I feel like I don't have a sun yet?"
The Pope is a very pompous guy. Originally, during this trip to Heizhou, Ning Xiao thought that he and the two of him had come from the void, and they would be able to end the matter in an instant. As a result, this guy refused, and preferred to take a large group of people with him, and the stinky shelf was bigger than Cheng Ziyang.
It was impossible for the entourage of the big gang to come from the void like them, so they rubbed it for many days. If it weren't for the fact that the scenery of this black continent was not bad, Ning Xiao was forced to put up his temper. Otherwise, she would have left the gang behind.
"This land has always been the most favored by the Creator," the Pope said, when he saw that all his entourage had arrived on time, and his mood became cheerful, and his explanation became more detailed. "I learned that there aren't too many zombies here, and this desert can trap them, and there is no need to set up another place."
"Oh!" Ning Xiao felt that it made sense, so he didn't ask any more.
"Ah, alien beast!"
At this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation in the crowd. Ning Xiao and the Pope were indifferent. At their level, no matter how high the level of the alien beast is, it can only be used as a mount at most.
After a long trek through the desert, humans finally found the camel known as the "Ship of the Desert" as a companion. No matter how difficult and difficult the conditions, it holds its head high and works tirelessly, guiding travelers to the horizon of dawn. It was once praised as follows: "It was given to the traveler with the boldness of the sky." ”
It is a small country located in the Cape of the Black Continent and is dominated by animal husbandry. It is said that the number of camels has reached more than 6 million peaks, accounting for almost one-third of the total number of camels in the world, and it is a country where there are more camels than people.
Naturally, camels are especially cherished by the people here. This is not only because it is an indispensable means of transportation in the desert, but more importantly, camels occupy a very important place in the economy of this small country.
The number of camels owned here has always been used as a measure of wealth and poverty. It is said that each camel is worth 100,000 Chinese coins. Weddings and funerals are inseparable from camels. In civil disputes, camels are often also used for compensation.
However, camels are also full of treasures. Cheese is an important food for herders. Camel hair is used as a raw material to make carpets and blankets. Exquisite camel hair sweaters are even more popular. Camel skin can also be used to make tents and leather boots, and camel meat and camelpaw have become a top dish in luxury hotels. Desert travelers often rely on camel meat, milk and blood to escape the threat of death in extremely difficult situations.
Most of the camels here are unimodary, generally about 2 meters long, about 3 meters high, weighing half a ton, carrying up to 300 kilograms, and can walk 40 kilometers in a day and night. Due to the particularity of the physiological structure, after eating and drinking enough, you can trek for more than 10 days without eating or drinking in the scorching desert.
Camels also have the function of regulating their body temperature at any time. As the temperature rises, the body temperature rises, and the body temperature can be maintained at 40oC when it is hot. When the temperature drops, the body temperature drops again. As a result, it consumes much less water comparatively compared to other animals.
It is precisely because of this that once the camel mutates, it becomes a rather difficult beast to deal with. I don't know how many living people and zombies have become its meal.
Despite this, it seems that the Adepts here will only intervene to harm it as a last resort. So much so that it flooded here, and it was so thick that even Ning Xiao and the Pope dared to touch it.
Of course, a camel without mutation is still good. Riding a camel to roam the long sandy plains, and appreciate the charming scenery of "the sand is even green, and the canopy is involved in the yellow clouds", you will definitely feel open-minded and have endless fun.
In this regard, Ning Xiao smiled and said to the Pope: "If you set this place as a place of imprisonment for zombies. I'm afraid that it won't be long before all the zombies will be gnawed away by the camel. ”
"It's fine!" The Pope waved his hand unconcernedly. "When it can break through your ban, we can slaughter it."
"Yes!" In this regard, Ning Xiao is quite in favor. Because it has reached this level that can cut through the void, the strange beast that can allow her and the Pope to deal with it really hasn't appeared. The feeling of being alone and seeking defeat is really not a good enjoyment.
However, she stroked the camel beneath her. I feel that this silent animal has not only carried the ancient human civilization through a long journey in the operation of silk in China, and has made important contributions to the exchange of Eastern and Western cultures, but also at the moment, no matter where it is, it is still holding its head high, staring into the distance, carrying the hope of mankind, and continuing to move forward towards the horizon of dawn.
"Alas," Ning Xiao sighed. "Sometimes, I feel like I'm not as good as this camel. It only runs in the desert, and I run all over the world. ”
"Huh!" The Pope burst into laughter. He pointed at Ning Xiao helplessly: "In today's world, how many people can run around the world like you, besides me?" If you want to show off your ability, you can't do that!"
"Oh, too!" Ning Xiao really didn't deny this.
"Hurry up and finish imprisoning the zombies here! Next, we're going to the Americas!" The Pope was reminding her.
"I don't have a problem!" Ning Xiao replied bluntly. "The question is, can your entourage make them move faster? Every time I waited for them, it took a lot of time. ”
"Oh—" The Pope understood what Ning Xiao meant, and explained to him. "I don't have many supernatural people under my command. I've got to train a few of them! However, you can rest assured, this time to the Americas. ”
"I decided to let them fly there. This way, it will be much faster. ”
"Can you afford the oil?" To be honest, the lack of oil in the Holy See had long been beyond Ning Xiao's imagination. So, she was kind enough to remind.
"You don't have to worry about that," the Pope said, pretending to be mysterious. "The Americas are some of the most famous in the world. When the time comes, you'll have to get a little bit more out of the way. ”
"Oooh!" At this time, Ning Xiaoxi smiled and nodded. "Then I'm a little anxious about the trip to the Americas."
"Brother Song," on Huaxia's side, Ning Zhongxiao reluctantly advised Song Dai, who stayed here and didn't move his buttocks. "It's not a good idea for you to be here with me all the time! Is that Yan Nu really scary? No matter how terrible it is, I don't think it will be more powerful than my sister's leather whip, right? ”
"Alas!" Song Dai sighed helplessly. "It's not that I'm afraid of her, but I don't know how to face her. She- she's so passionate, and I'm a person who likes to worry a lot. You say, can two people get together? ”
"Brother Song, you can't say that!" In order for himself to be able to break free from the mountain of documents, Ning Zhongxiao decided to persuade the other party in this way. "Look, my sister and brother-in-law. My sister, as you know, is a person with no heart, no liver and no lungs, and the whole person is sometimes harder than ice. What about my brother-in-law? Think about the problem more and more deeply than you do. You say, why did he and my sister get together? Moreover, it goes so well together. ”
"My sister once said that everyone's partner is either the one you want or the same. Sometimes, the person you thought was unlikely to be your partner is the most likely to be your partner. Because you don't know many of your shortcomings, and being your partner can sometimes make up for you the most!"
"It is very likely that you and Yan Nu were destined in a previous life. Think about it, you are fire, and she is also fire, even though you are not as good as her. But, on the surface, you really don't look like a fire-type adept. On the surface, she's more like an ice powerhouse than my sister. You say, are you two born to deceive people with appearances? ”
……
"yes!" Faced with Ning Zhongxiao's clever tongue, Song Dai was gradually moved. "It seems that I still have to talk to her, and it's not a way to hide all the time."
"That's it, you look for her." Ning Zhongxiao took the opportunity to say this. "Maybe she's as good as my sister, and she'll run to the moon. At that time, it will be difficult for you to find her again! Look at my brother-in-law, for a while before the end of the world, he was worried all day long that my sister would run away. ”
"Y-this kid!" Song Dai reluctantly patted Ning Zhongxiao's shoulder, and then got up to leave.
Witnessing the back of Song Dai's departure, Ning Zhongxiao thought of himself, his own ability.
Life is like water. When I was a child, it was a clear spring in the mountains, gushing at will, and every drop of water splashed was exceptionally pure and unstained. When he was a teenager, it was a stream in the wilderness, flowing carefree, sometimes playing with falling flowers, sometimes playing with aquatic plants; Wherever the stream flows, laughter goes. When I was young, it was a surging river, rushing over the reefs, around the mountains, rushing, whistling, forward, forward, towards the distant sea.
In middle age, it was a lake, and the water of the lake shimmered in the sun, making it seem extremely quiet and open. However, when a storm hits, the lake will also set off huge waves; But when the storm passed, the lake soon returned to its original clarity and tranquility.
In old age, it is an ancient well, all year round, the waves in the well are as flat as a mirror, even in the moment of wind and rain, thunder and lightning, the well water is still not prosperous. Yes, for an ancient well, tranquility is eternal.
Life is like water, and with the passage of time, it gradually turns from spring water to well water.
But is life really like water? Water is subject to change, condenses into ice when cold, and transpires into steam when heated, but no matter how it changes, the essence of water remains the same. So what about people, no matter how many vicissitudes they go through, can they maintain their essence? No one is sure.
Over the years, he has seen countless kind-hearted teenagers who have changed their cold hearts as adults; I have also seen countless upright young people who became "chameleons" in old age. How many people are there in this world who are consistent?
He doesn't know, but he hopes that no matter how much pain and suffering he goes through, he can be like water, maintaining the original innocent and beautiful quality of life.
In this life, he wishes he could have a watery life.
"Whoa!"
This crisp sound made him stand up.
"Come on, I've got the Ability Academy to improve my abilities. So, I have a bunch of things here, you can help hand them over to Deputy Director Song as soon as possible!"
After leaving this sentence, he disappeared, leaving the group of subordinates in a hurry for a while. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Days: The Fairy Wife Rampant Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
