Chapter 18: An Oasis in the Distance
Zifei's screams sounded a little panicked, and I kept squeezing out of my sleeping bag, and Lacey got up.
At this time, Zifei's voice became very frightened, and she shouted loudly: "Xiaoshuai, is it you?" ”
I hurriedly agreed here: "I'm here." ”
"Ahh
Lesy and I quickly rushed out, and the lights were on in Zifei's tent, while the other people in the tent came out.
I pulled open Zifei's tent and got in, Lacey was standing in the doorway, and there were others, Zifei said with a cloak, "Something was pounced on my tent just now." ”
Except for me, everyone else took out daggers, scimitars or something, and circled around Zifei's tent a few times with flashlights.
"It could be a wolf." The old squad leader said.
"There were wolves here more than ten years ago, and I haven't heard of them for years." Alabac said.
Lacey Flashlight pointed to the ground and said, "There are traces here, but the sand is too loose to see if it is a wolf's tracks." ”
"Let's all go back, a lot of people don't have coats, don't freeze." Lacey said again.
The others went back to their respective tents, and I looked at Zi Fei, whose hair was scattered, and I was a little uneasy, and Zi Fei also looked at me. At this time, Lacey handed me the crossbow and my sleeping bag and said, "Xiaoshuai, you can call whatever you want at night." ”
I looked at Zi Fei, took the crossbow and nodded, put on my clothes and stayed in the tent with Zi Fei, still a little embarrassed, I tried not to look at Zi Fei, so I sat there with the crossbow.
Lacey's voice came from his tent again, "Xiao Shuai, you can turn on the camp lights to guide the day, and adjust the lights to save some electricity." ”
I was already embarrassed, and I didn't answer Lacey, and I sat there motionless with my crossbow, still trembling.
Zifei lay down and got into the sleeping bag and didn't speak, and after a while, she heard a small voice coming: "You go to bed early, it should be fine." ”
The heart that calmed down made my blood rush up again because of Zifei's words, and my face was hot, how could I be embarrassed?
But at the same second, I suddenly had an epiphany, I was fine, but because of my inner thoughts, I was unnatural, and even shy. Do I have any thoughts about Zifei? And these thoughts are very fatal at critical times, I always want to break through myself, improve myself, and break through like this?
There is no obstacle in my heart, so there is no terror, and my heart is in the way, so I twist and pinch it. There is no self, no one, no sentient beings, no longevity, in fact, it is a lawless phase, my heart is open, how can I care.
I got into my sleeping bag and fell asleep, but the epiphany I had just now disappeared in that second. After Zhenzhen fell, he thought that Zi Fei would sleep behind him, and his heart was still like a deer, which was very unnatural.
Only I don't listen to comfort myself, my heart is open, my heart is open......
After a night like this, the next day the sky was surprisingly good, the wind and sand were smaller, the clouds were gone, the blue sky was white and white, and there was a thin layer of snow on the desert.
It snowed last night?
No wonder it's so cold, seeing such a scene, everyone is excited, the endless desert is dotted with snow, and the clear blue sky is also like white clouds.
In such a vast sky, there are a few small figures.
I really want to lie in that snowdrift and look up at the blue sky.
There was no wind and sand, and we all untied our scarves and took a big breath of fresh air. Zifei also didn't comb her hair, letting the majestic wind blow her sideburns, although the hair was messy, it blended in in this nature.
Looking at the brothers around me, as well as their expressions, it seems that I can also sense their hearts, looking at the vast desert, we are really brothers at this moment.
Except for two people, Arabac and Wan Hu.
The five camels still brought a bag of rations but it was useless, and there were some dry camel thorns in the desert, where the camels were munching on their breakfast, and we began to pack up our tents. Only Zi Fei was left alone to sit on the top of the sand dunes and look into the distance.
I occasionally glanced up at Zifei's back, and began to miss Bai Xue sitting in front of me again, the way she pouted, and even the way she shot with a crossbow.
In the end, I had to shake my head gently and pack my backpack.
There were no words all the way, and no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was only fresh in our eyes for a short while, and soon all the mood was consumed by the long-distance monotonous circle.
On the way, I saw a few historical sites, and the ancient tombs were eye-catching, but in a hurry, we just admired them along the way and hurried by. This made our guide, Alabac, even more puzzled us, but he was relieved to see that we had not destroyed the local monuments.
It's another few days of journey, there is only one change in these days, because we consumed a lot of water and supplies, we saved a camel that could be ridden, I originally left it for Zifei, but ten thousand camels have to fight for this position, otherwise it will be noisy all the way.
Including the Lai Xi mine, he didn't threaten him, and finally let him sit for the sake of purity, and Wan Camel was even more uncomfortable sitting on the camel on his toes.
Even though it wasn't as comfortable sitting on it as it was in a car, he just had to get up without limits, and a few times I was so angry that I wanted to knock him on two canes. Later, it wasn't until the boss stool spoke that Wan Camel quieted down and sat still like a toad.
The world is finally pure.
The caravan came to an abrupt halt.
Alabac let out a long sigh, looked into the distance and said heavily, "Here you are, that's where you're going." ”
Through his eyes, he vaguely saw another black shadow in the distance, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Despite Lacey's repeated negotiations, Alabac was still unwilling to accompany us forward, and it was even impossible for him to take another step, so Lacey had to convene a temporary meeting with us, leaving the old squad leader and Wang Yan to accompany Alabac.
This is also to contain Alabac, if Alabac runs away after we enter the Oasis, we may die in the desert even if we don't die in the Oasis.
After packing up everything, we took away two camels and said goodbye to the old squad leader, I have been accustomed to the care of the old squad leader for more than ten days, and I am used to the political and ideological work of the old squad leader, and finally I had to leave with a slightly reluctant look.
After walking a few meters, the old squad leader shouted, "Little handsome!" "Stopped me.
The old squad leader who caught up handed me an iron guy, it was the Colt M1911 used by the old squad leader for self-defense, and it was the same gun as the cold rain I used in the Great Khan Mausoleum, because we both liked the same gun The old squad leader also had a lot of topics with me.
"That's not going to work, old squad leader, you keep it for yourself." I immediately refused.
"Listen to the old squad leader, you are like a soldier I brought out, take it, come out and return me." The old squad leader looked at me lovingly, and there was this sparkle in his eyes.
I didn't shirk this, and I took the Colt with the body temperature of the old squad leader, and I could clearly feel that the gun had the soul of the old squad leader.
Since studying derivation, my sensory cells have become more and more sensitive, and I looked at the old squad leader and said, "Okay, I'll come out and pay you back." ”
The old squad leader never carried a spare magazine with this Colt, because he never used a gun to solve things that could be solved without a gun, which was also a tradition that almost everyone in Lacey's unit abided, but unlike the old squad leader, Lacey always brought enough magazines.
