Chapter 17: The Land of the Devil
After Lacey's repeated questioning, Alabac said that the oasis was a forbidden place for the locals, and even the mention of it was rarely mentioned, and the foreigners were even more unaware
Finish.
Most of the rivers in the desert have been dry for years, if not centuries, and there is not a drop of water in the beautiful name of the Niya River. Even the existing rivers are not all year round
There are rivers with water, like the famous Kriya River in the distance, which is also a seasonal river. This oasis is an exception, and even in the arid summers of the year, there is no shortage of clear water.
Such a good place should logically be very suitable for the population to live and reproduce, but no one has ever dared to go to that place.
Because both humans and animals disappear when they go to that place, and it has been said for generations that all those people and animals were taken away by the devil.
No matter what we said, Alabac didn't want to take us to that place, and in the end Lacey had to compromise and agree with Aarabad that he would only take us to that place, and then
Waiting for us on the perimeter, we went in on our own.
After a little more talking, the temperature dropped even more, and the mine filled half a bucket of sand with an iron bucket, poured some gasoline into the bucket and lit boiling water. Then with Lacey, two sappers shoveled a fire
The ash was evenly scattered throughout the pit, and finally a layer of sand was placed on top of it.
Then I moved my and Zifei's tent to it and fixed it, the sand was dry and warm, and I realized Rysie's intention to dig the sand pit in the first place.
Zifei smiled and got into the tent and began to tidy up, and the others also filled the hot water bottle and entered their tent one after another, leaving only Lacey and I still sitting by the stove boiling water
γ
In the future, the water in the hot water bottle will be poured out and burned repeatedly every day, and the water in the bag cannot be poured, and it can also be used as drinking water to save lives at critical times.
"Still not going in?" Lacey looked at me with a smile.
"I'm so embarrassed." I said helplessly.
"You send her a hot water bottle, or you will go in." It was the boss stool of the tent next to him who spoke, but the boss stool said this loudly, and I am afraid that Zifei has already been in the originally quiet desert
Heard it.
There was silence for a while, and when Lacey finished filling the hot water bottle, she said to me, "I'm going to sleep." β
Seeing Lacey walk into his tent, I held the hot water bottle and unzipped Zifei's tent, my heart fluttering, and the cat's waist got in.
Unexpectedly, I was so nervous that I didn't turn on the flashlight, and it was pitch black in the tent, and I tripped and fell to the ground and threw myself on Zifei.
Although it was separated by a sleeping bag, it also made Zi Fei scream.
Bursts of laughter immediately rang out from the tent next to it.
I was so embarrassed that I was very flustered, and I hurriedly pressed to stand up, but I pressed on Zifei's body, and I didn't know where I pressed it, which made Zifei scream again.
Laughing even more heartily outside, there was even a whistle.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I panicked and said I'm sorry, and finally just fell to the ground and didn't get up in a hurry.
When Zi Fei turned on the flashlight, she saw Zi Fei's resentful eyes through the bright light.
"I didn't mean to." Looking at Zifei's eyes, I said very unnaturally.
"You get me out." Zifei yelled at me.
There was laughter outside the tent again, I handed the hot water bottle to Zifei, picked up my sleeping bag and walked out of the tent, the biting cold wind blowing through the tent door.
"Little ......," Zi Fei screamed and then fell silent.
Zipping up Zifei's tent outside, I embarrassed to walk towards Lacey and Landmine's tent. Because the mine is also a Lacey iron buddy, I am also closer to the mine, other
I'm not going to drill those two tents, so I'm going to take refuge here tonight.
Sure enough, once inside the tent, he was laughed at by Landmine and Lacey.
I'm in a bad mood and don't want to explain. I took off my face coat and got into the sleeping bag and fell asleep on my side, only to realize that the tent was indeed small enough for three people, not to mention the stout ones like Lacey and Landmine
Dahan. It is easy for those who sleep on both sides to rub their faces against the inner layer of the tent, and the inner layer of the tent is also unusually cold, and even a little wet. This is a water mist caused by a large temperature difference between the inside and outside.
It can also condense water mist, and it seems that this desert is not as dry as expected.
Wrap the sleeping bag as tightly as possible, but the whole body is still uncomfortably cold, I miss the warm quilt at home, and even think of the soft place where I pressed in a panic in the Zifei tent just now.
Where did you press it? I don't dare to think about it, but judging from Zifei's angry appearance, it is most likely that she has pressed to some key place.
There is even a little sense of loss in my heart, and people's hearts are so fragile in this desert.
It was so fragile that I kept thinking about braised pork, button meat, hamburgers, chicken thighs, and snow.
I have never had so many things in my heart, plus the tent is unusually crowded, and my body is cold, so I can't sleep. I know that if I can't sleep now, I won't have the strength to walk tomorrow.
But the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't sleep.
Since the second senior brother broke the mana shackles on my body, I haven't had a good night's sleep, and my thoughts about Bai Xue are increasing day by day, and I want to get it even more. I don't know if it's because I'm a year older
, or for other reasons. I lost control of my emotions more and more. I used to feel that I was not worthy of Bai Xue, but I suddenly knew that my family's huge wealth and got it
After this bank card, the urge to hug Bai Xue, the desire to get Bai Xue's love became even stronger.
When I arrived in this ghost place, I was very uncomfortable, but every time I thought of Master and Senior Brother, and when I thought of my commitment to them, I kept encouraging myself and cheering up
, there is nothing I can't do, the bell doesn't ring, the road can't go. What's more, finding the five artifacts has suddenly become my own family mission, which is really strange enough.
What's even more peculiar is that my grandfather has washed away my memory of him, and my father and my mother have always kept it a secret from me, but I took the initiative to intervene in this matter because I knew my eldest brother
Face.
That's fate! Destiny!
It was destined that I would embark on this path, and since it was destined for a long time, I had no choice but to accept it.
These random thoughts occasionally insert the figures of two people, Ah Zi and Zi Fei, Ah Zi's feelings for me and my feelings for her are not just because she saved me a few times, although I
I can't say clearly, but I also miss Ah Zi, especially the special fragrance on Ah Zi.
Thinking about it wildly, I still can't sleep, I'm a little anxious, how can I fall asleep.
"Woo-woo-" There were voices in the distance, which sounded like the howl of the wind blowing, and like the howl of a wolf at night, what if it was a wolf? I couldn't sleep anymore.
"Who is itβ" Zifei suddenly shouted.
