557.The Sand Sea (2)
Li Qifa sat on the ground with his head drooped, his eyes were dull, his face was full of decadence, there was no trace of arrogance in this unstoppable rich young man, his lips were chapped, and his hair was like grass, like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.
Akaza sat dumbfounded and sulked, of course he knew that Li Qifa had secretly drunk his water before, and he had drunk so much, and now his sheepskin water bag was almost empty.
After the tents were erected, the people hurriedly lay down to rest.
The moonlight was bright, the cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, there was a faint chill, there was silence all around, and all the tents had turned off the lights.
I lay quietly next to Xue Meiniang, the two of them faced each other, each lying on their sides, I looked at Xue Meiniang, and Xue Meiniang also looked at me, and there was silence in the tent. You can hear each other's breathing, and the gentle breathing seems to tug at the nerves of the two. In the dark, I vaguely smelled the faint fragrance of her body, which made my heart ripple.
I smelled the enchanting scent in this small tent, and the body fragrance of Xue Meiniang was disorienting. I was afraid that I would not be able to hold it, so I did not dare to move, but I inhaled deeply, almost greedily feeling the intoxicating breath, after all, we are now in the desert, and the tent is next to the tent, and we can't do anything, and if we do, the movement will be great.
Smelling her intoxicating breath, looking at her beautiful eyes, and feeling her irrepressible enthusiasm, I couldn't help but be passionate in my heart.
After a period of contradictions, I finally took the initiative! The slightly trembling hand gently hugged Xue Meiniang into her arms, and she muttered, and the whole person came over. Xue Meiniang's hand was tightly wrapped around my neck, her pink face was pressed against my face, and the pair of soft things on her chest were proudly pressed against my chest, and the wonderful touch almost drove me crazy.
I couldn't care where this place was anymore, so I immediately hugged Xue Meiniang in my arms, whispered a scolding goblin, and kissed it......
……
The next morning, a few of us sat outside the tent for a short rest, and after a night we had run out of the last drop of water, and we had eaten up even the few remaining cans of fruit, and we were now hungry and thirsty. Although there are a lot of biscuits, but no one dares to eat them, in such an extreme lack of water, digesting food will only increase the consumption of body fluids, making people's bodies more dehydrated.
After a night's rest, Li Qifa's physical strength seemed to have recovered a little, and now he sat on the ground, looking up at the sky, cursing incessantly, and seemed to be dissatisfied with God.
Li Qifa lowered his head, looking at the bonfire that was about to burn out in a daze, and kept complaining in his heart, he was already worried about his life.
Akaza sat with a blank face, and he said: "Tell you a bad news, we are lost, and it is evil to say, I have walked this road no less than a hundred times, but this time, I feel that as soon as I step into this land, I have no sense of direction......"
I thought in my heart that it should have been done by the team in front of me, but I didn't dare to say it openly, so I just said, "Isn't it getting farther and farther away from Moon Lake now?" ”
"I don't know, I'm sorry, everyone...... The responsibility is on me, as if it were an evil sect, and I feel that all the sand dunes around me have been moved, and I have walked on this land according to my feelings, and now even the camels seem to refuse to go, and they have also lost their way. ”
"I'm afraid there's a maze in the desert." Xue Meiniang said to me in a low voice, since yesterday's rain and dew, Xue Meiniang has become more shy and moving, for the two of us, there is not too much lack of water, but if we don't drink water for half a month, then we can't bear it.
When we set out on the journey again, ready to find a way out, I saw that Li Qifa had scorched lips, dry eyes, and a sickly face, looking like a dying man, who no longer had the strength to walk, he was almost prostrate, and his face was very ugly.
The beautiful face of a Western girl in the same team has lost its original color, her face is pale, her eyes are blank, and her sickly appearance makes people feel pity.
As we walked, Akaza told us about a time when he was trapped in the desert and had a sandstorm for several days, and he finally had to kill his camel and drink water from its rumen, which saved his life.
Known as the ship of the desert, the camel is a very strange creature, which can endure hunger and thirst. You can go without eating or drinking for half a month. The fat stored in the hump will decompose nutrients for its survival needs when necessary, and the camel's rumen is used to store water, drinking more than ten kilograms of water at a time.
Akaza has always cherished life, and he is reluctant to do so unless absolutely necessary, and the people who live around the desert have always cherished camels very much, and at this moment in order to survive, they have to kill their cherished animals.
Akaza gently stroked the camel's head, as if he were saying goodbye to an old friend he had known for many years. The camel actually stuck out its tongue and licked his face enthusiastically. This scene made my heart ache for a while......
The short knife was inserted, but it did not reach the handle, and with a thud, the camel fell to the ground, and a life was lost. However, the loss of one life is replaced by the rebirth of others. This cycle of life and death is played out all the time in nature. At this moment, the sadness is also sudden.
Holding his short knife, Akashic felt the camel's abdomen, gently pierced the skin, and put his fingers into the camel's belly, placing his fingers on the back of the knife and gently cutting the flesh along the abdomen.
As he cut the meat, he began to weep, and he told us a story about camels, which had been passed down from their ancestors:
Survival itself is a struggle, and even more so in the depths of the grasslands.
One year the prairie was surprisingly dry, the grass had been eaten away, the sun was blazing, and only a few bushes were still standing strong and lonely, looking barren and lifeless.
Not far away, a surrounded camel and five wild wolves were confronting each other, and before they knew it, three hours had passed. The atmosphere was extremely tense, the camels were glaring angrily, rushing left and right, and the wolves and camels were sawing and moving. The camel was looking for an escape chance, but it could not escape the encirclement. Maybe it's because it hasn't eaten for a few days, so it's trapped by the wolves, and it's a little overwhelmed.
At this time, the wolf was already salivating, and he wanted to pounce on it and bite a few bites, and the wolf's stomach was "growling" non-stop, knowing that they had not eaten for several days. At the signal of the head wolf, a gray wolf quietly withdrew, and the camel saw this once-in-a-lifetime "opportunity" and immediately fled. The wolves followed closely, unhurried, like a rally. Wolves and camels chase and fight.
The opportunity was fleeting, the wolf was waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill, the bushes were already at hand, the camel's time of death was near, the first wolf howled, and the other four wolves, hearing the command, immediately approached the bushes.
The camel, coerced by the wolf, ran into a bush. The camel continued to run. At this time, a wolf had quietly run in front of the camel, and the wolves on both sides also flanked it, and the camel had to slow down.
The camel was forced into the desert, and the wolf waited at the exit of the desert, but the wolf starved to death, and the camel did not appear, and Akaza was to illustrate the resilience of the camel.
Water, the water in the rumen of the camel, is slightly cloudy and slightly odorous. Even so, it is undoubtedly the most primitive temptation for a group of people who have been thirsty in the desert for two days.
Li Qifa was like suddenly seeing a beautiful woman with all kinds of amorous feelings, and rushed over to grab the water like crazy, at this moment he had completely abandoned the gentlemanly demeanor that he had been deliberately disguised before, and his dirty humanity was finally exposed without reservation.
"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time". In extreme situations, it is often more reflective of a person's true qualities. Everyone came to grab water.
Xue Meiniang and I didn't go over, after all, these life-saving waters, just make them prominent, if we want to leave, I can use spells to quickly find the way back, but I still want to go deeper, so I didn't say anything.
Akashy poured some water into the kettle, glanced at Li Qifa, who was frantically grabbing water over there, shook his head, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, he actually gave me the first pot of water, saying that I was very noble, but I didn't refuse, and hit the belt around my waist.
The camel had a few kilograms of water in its stomach, and after everyone had drunk it, they poured the rest into a kettle and continued on their way.
The moonlight is poignant, and the moonlight sprinkles on the sand, creating a bizarre landscape. I don't know how long I walked, but I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Look, what is that?" and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing. There seemed to be a man sitting on the ground not far ahead.
"Someone, we've been rescued, hahahaha" Li Qi screamed as if he was crazy, shouting as he rushed over desperately.
