Chapter 15: Sandstorms
"Painkillers." Zheng Nannan responded casually and put the medicine bottle back in his personal pocket.
Hong Coriander wanted to speak and stopped, and a pair of seductive eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, as if she thought of something, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Zheng Nannan didn't care, pretended not to see anything, asked the little nurse for a bottle of water, and carefully poured it into his kettle.
Tang Garlic and Shu Onion smiled knowingly, went to the supply truck to ask for some water, and helped their boss fill the kettle.
Hu Qi has been in the car, waking up for a while and sleeping for a while, malaise is terrible, in just two days, I feel a few laps of weight loss, and my face is a little pale, which is very different from Zheng Nannan's wild and fierce when he first met.
"Hey, you're going to kill him." Zheng Nannan pointed to the nonsense in the car and said to Hong Xiangcai: "Everyone is now a grasshopper on a rope, is it necessary to do this?" β
"You don't care." Hong Coriander put a charming white eye, not giving him face at all.
Zheng Nannan was speechless, so he could only silently give Hu some wax in his heart.
"Boss, that girl has been peeking at you." Tang Garlic approached the new boss and whispered, "Do you know her?" β
Zheng Nannan looked over there when he heard this, and his eyes happened to meet Shaman.
The latter was taken aback, and hurriedly looked away, very cramped.
"Acquaintance." Zheng Nannan smiled, signaled Tang Garlic not to worry about it, thought about it, and got up and walked towards Shaman.
Shaman suddenly panicked, she was originally very entangled, and wanted to apologize to Zheng Nannan, but she couldn't move her legs. I secretly observed for a long time, wanting to see how he was feeling, but he was arrested.
"See you again." Zheng Nannan walked straight to Shaman's side and sat down, Shaman was startled, and instinctively got up to dodge, but Zheng Nannan grabbed his wrist and pulled him back hard.
"I, I, I...... I'm sorry...... That ......"
"Alright." Zheng Nannan waved his hand, angry and funny, and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." β
Shaman was even more embarrassed, his head buried between his knees, his blonde hair covering the side of his face, and he couldn't see his expression.
After a while, Shaman adjusted his mood, took out the invitation letter from his corset and handed it to Zheng Nannan.
"You...... Give it back to you. β
Zheng Nannan smiled dumbly, took the invitation and looked at it, and sighed: "I don't need it." With that, he loosened his fingers, and the invitation came out of his hand and floated out with the wind.
"Huh?" Shaman hurriedly got up to catch it, but the wind suddenly became fierce, and he flew towards the loess mound with the invitation.
Shaman was anxious and angry, and seeing that Zheng Nannan was indifferent, he had to chase after him.
Zheng Nannan smiled bitterly and told her not to chase after her, but Shaman turned a deaf ear and stumbled and trotted behind the loess mound.
"Boss, call her back, the wind is blowing, and the sandstorm is coming." The conscientious little Tang Garlic reminded in time, pointed to the already dark red clouds in the distance, frowned, and said, "I have never seen such a sky." β
"Really?" Zheng Nannan raised his eyes and looked: "I met it when I came...... Hey, Shaman, it's back! β
No one answered behind the loess mound.
Zheng Nannan and Tang Garlic glanced at each other, and secretly felt that it was not good.
"You go and stay with Hong Coriander." Zheng Nannan put on his hood and hurriedly ran towards the loess mound, and as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Shaman squatting on the ground, concentrating on what he was digging in the soil.
"Groundhog, you're gone, the sandstorm is coming." After a false alarm, Zheng Nannan scolded angrily and bent down to go to Rashaman.
Shaman shook his head and turned his face to look at Zheng Nannan, his face was very strange.
Zheng Nannan couldn't help frowning, and said strangely: "What? β
Shaman's expression did not seem to be fake, his eyes were actually a little panicked, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and shook the invitation in his hand.
"I said I didn't need it, why did you pick it up."
The corners of Sharman twitched, and he raised his other handβanother invitation.
"Huh?" This time, Zheng Nannan was stunned, and said suspiciously: "What do you mean......" Before Zheng Nannan finished speaking, Shaman rubbed his hands, and the two invitations in his hands were fan-shaped, and there were more than ten of them.
"......" Zheng Nannan was dumbfounded, looked at Shaman with a tearless expression on his face, and looked at the loess that Shaman had just planed.
Sharman nodded and stammered, "It's still ...... And ......"
"Boss! Come back soon! The sandstorm is coming! Behind him, Tang Garlic shouted.
Zheng Nannan turned his head and answered, squatted down with a frown, and used a sharp hacksaw to remove a layer of loess, and sure enough, the corner of an invitation letter was revealed.
"Let's go back." Sharman looked around, there were many loess mounds around, and the farther he went, the higher the mounds, and as the wind became more and more violent, the loess gradually covered the sky and the sun.
Zheng Nannan nodded, pressed the doubts in his heart, and pulled up Shaman to prepare to go back.
Just about to go around the mound, the afterglow seemed to catch a fleeting figure.
Zheng Nannan's face suddenly sank, and the blade of the hacksaw blade was held horizontally in front of him, pushing Shaman onto the road.
The wind swept the lead clouds, the sand and dust filled the sky, and the ears were full of howling winds, as if they were from ancient desolation and sorrow.
Zheng Nannan didn't wear goggles, he vaguely heard someone calling him, looked back at the road, in the dim vision, Shaman seemed to be dragged back by Tang Garlic, and some people wanted to come to their side, but they were forced back by the increasingly violent wind and sand.
Zheng Nannan leaned against the loess mound, squinting his eyes and looking at the place where the figure flashed, through the heavy sand curtains, two figures, one tall and one short, stood in the wind and yellow sand.
Zheng Nannan wanted to open his mouth and shout, but as soon as he opened it, he was poured into a mouthful of sand, so he had to shut up.
The sky overhead darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some behemoth seemed to be tumbling in the lead-colored clouds, accompanied by a few deafening dryland thunders, and the clouds suddenly changed color, as if a fire had ignited inside, and instantly reflected the sky and the earth into a dazzling orange-red.
The sandstorm came as promised.
Black windswept sand, orange-red skylight.
If it weren't for the fact that those two figures were still there, Zheng Nannan might have thought that he had broken into another world.
Zheng Nannan sat down slowly against the loess mound, buried his face between his legs, encouraged him to protect his face with a hood, tore off half of his trouser leg to cover his mouth and nose, and plunged the steel knife in his hand into the ground at hand, while he fell to the ground, holding the handle of the knife to stabilize his body.
The loess mound couldn't resist the erosion of the wind, becoming shorter and shorter, and the land around Zheng Nannan was also blown off layer after layer, and more invitations were rediscovered, and they were sent to the unknown horizon by the wind.
Gradually, Zheng Nannan felt a little exhausted, although the whole person was lying on the ground, but still could not resist the menacing sandstorm, the blade hacksaw had already plowed a long ravine in the soil, his fingers were beaten by the sand and gravel, and when he was about to lose his grip on the handle, there seemed to be something in front of him.
Zheng Nannan struggled to raise his head, the orange and red in front of him were dazzling, flying sand and stones, and a slightly petite figure squatted in front of him, grabbed his arm with one hand, and exerted force upward. Zheng Nannan couldn't care about anything else at the moment, reached forward and grabbed it, and really touched the other hand.
"Get up!"
Faintly hearing the shouting in his ears, Zheng Nannan nodded reluctantly, and stood up with difficulty with the help of the other party, the other party put his arm around his waist, motioned him to walk on his side, and then buckled a pair of sunglasses on his face.
Zheng Nannan breathed a sigh of relief, opened his sore eyes and looked at the person next to him who was supporting him with a deep foot and a shallow foot...... It's her?!
The situation was critical, and Zheng Nannan didn't have time to thank her, so the two of them supported each other, leaning against the edge of the dwarf loess mound, and stepped forward by instinct. It was only a little more than ten meters away from the national road, and Zheng Nannan felt that the two of them had walked for ten minutes.
When he finally felt the soles of his feet on the hard road, the support around him suddenly ran out. Zheng Nannan's body was unstable, and he tried to reach out to grab the people around him, but he was empty.
Zheng Nannan was frightened, and struggled to climb onto the road, staring to find her, but in addition to the whistling sand, where were there any people around?
Zheng Nannan rolled forward on the spot, and finally groped his way to the convoy station, raised the steel knife in his hand and knocked the car body a few times, and after a while, the car door next to him opened, stretched out a few hands and pulled him back into the car, and slammed the door shut.
"Hoo !!"
The howl of the wind and sand ghost in his ears dissipated instantly, and his mouth and nose were finally able to breathe in the air. Zheng Nannan was lying on his back in the car, as if the drowning man had been rescued, and he gasped for breath for a long time before he could recover his strength. Tilting his head and looking around, it was a trio of little nurses with worried faces.
"You're scared us to death!" The three warblers and Yanyan were crying, and their eyes were red.
Zheng Nannan was out of breath, squeezed out a smile to indicate that he was fine, pulled the steering wheel and sat up, the window had completely degenerated into purgatory, and the visibility was 0.
"Whew...... It was so dangerous, I almost died. β
