Chapter 238: Desert Death
We didn't tacitly mention last night's incident, and in front of others, the third child still behaved as usual, as if nothing happened last night, but I could see that this guy did have a worried face.
But fortunately, the third child is still willing to come forward to accompany me on an adventure, and this heart still touches me very much.
The journey to the Broken Soul Desert took two days, the third child and Zhang Mu and I brought enough dry food, and Zhao Kuo sent a reliable young man to show us the way, and we drove two desert jeeps westward that afternoon.
The young man Zhao Kuo found was a Hu man, his name was Ji Yu, and he was clever and talkative among the gang of people under Zhao Kuo. Since I got in the car, this cargo has been chattering non-stop, enthusiastically introducing me to some interesting things in Saibei. It's just that he happened to be in time. When I was in a bad mood, I didn't pay attention to him a word, but Zhang Mu chatted with him very hotly.
In order to avoid emergencies, we deliberately drove two cars out, and the third child was alone in the jeep behind at this time.
The northern part of the country is vast and sparsely populated. After driving a hundred miles from the town, there was no longer a single place of people in sight, and after a few vast grasslands, and further west, there was an endless desert.
I really can't stand Zhang Mu and Ji Yu's nonsense. After getting off the bus halfway to rest, I found an excuse to slip into the third child's car.
When there were only the two of us left, the third child began to feel a little cramped, and I sat silently in the co-pilot and stared out the window, trying to talk to him but couldn't find anything to say.
"The third... Last night..."
"Brother Mo, we brothers don't need to say so much, I'm not stupid, I can see it, since I don't have this blessing, of course I won't fight with you for anything, I just need to bless you silently."
Before I could finish my sentence, the third child interrupted me, he smiled wryly and lit a cigarette, and spoke.
I thought that the third child would blame me, or ask me for fair competition, after all, not admitting defeat is his third style, but I didn't expect that the third child would bless me so simply and generously.
All the explanations that I had managed to organize before were useless.
"The third... Do you really think so? ”
I asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Hmm... I've always treated you like a brother, and if you and Cheng Xi are really in love, then I don't have anything to say..."
The third child took a hard puff of cigarette, poured it all into his lungs, and coughed when he choked.
I laughed softly, sure enough, the third child is the third child, and I have never missed anyone. Even if such a thing happens, the third is still my good brother.
"Brother Mo... You don't, and even if I don't fight with you, you won't be able to stab me in the wound again. ”
Hearing me laugh, the third child turned his head and glanced at me with some resentment.
I also suppressed my laughter and stared at the third child seriously.
"Actually, I'm quite lucky to have a brother like you... I never thought that one day the thug who stopped my car and blackmailed me for money would be able to have a relationship with me. ”
"It's all fate."
The third child stared at me resentfully, and there was something in his words.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, although I have a good impression of Cheng Xi, but I won't be with her, you better let go of your heart and strive to chase her as soon as possible."
I gently patted the third child on the shoulder, sighed and said.
"Brother Mo? Don't tease me, can't you joke about such things? ”
The third child listened to me. I was so shocked that I almost couldn't even hold the steering wheel, and I hurriedly helped him stabilize the steering wheel.
"Nonsense! When did I lie to you? ”
I glared at him with some displeasure.
"Heh, hahaha, this is ha... But why wouldn't you? ”
After reconfirming, the third child couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and smirked hehahaha, and after he laughed for a few seconds, he asked me why.
"Physical reasons..."
There are too many things involved in this.,I'm a double life personality.,Yin and yang in the body symbiosis.,If any normal person is combined.,It's estimated that it will disrupt the breath in other people's bodies.,And there's a daughter-in-law in the main house.,It's too troublesome to explain it slowly and the third child.,I'm only mentioning it in general terms.。
“... It's okay, be strong, but when did you get hurt? Why didn't I know? ”
The third child looked like I understood, but his eyes kept glancing at my crotch.
"I'm Cao, where do you want to go! It's not that there's a problem there! ”
I almost didn't reach out and slap the third child, this guy is fucking annoying.
"Okay, okay, whatever."
Lao San said again and again, since I said that it is impossible for me and Cheng Xi, this guy has been in a state of excitement. Looks like he won't listen to anything else I say.
However, it is also a great thing to be able to eliminate the gap between the third child and me so quickly.
Wait until the evening. Ji Yu's car turned on the double flash, signaling that we could park, and the third child followed him and drove the car to a leeward place.
"Big brothers, let's rest here tonight. Mr. Zhao gave us a very strong car performance, yesterday I also estimated that it took more than two days to arrive, and after running for a day, I found out, it is estimated that it will be there tomorrow afternoon. ”
Ji Yu smiled and pulled the car door and talked to us as he jumped out of the car.
That's good news. After hearing Ji Yu's words, I was also happy. Running around day by day in this boundless desert is indeed a kind of torture.
Ji Yu was very experienced in life in the desert, and the place we were in now was under a leeward slope, and Ji Yu parked the car on the left and right sides of us facing each other. In this way, the two cars formed a small fortress with the hillside, shielding us from the wind blowing in three directions.
"The temperature in the desert is too low at night, don't take off your clothes when you sleep, it's better to add two more, don't be too hot when you sleep. You'll thank me in the evening. ”
Ji Yu said with a smile while he was busy.
"Don't look at this piece of sand and there is nothing, there are scorpions and poisonous insects hidden under it, don't put the sleeping bag on the ground first, first use a shovel to rummage the ground."
Ji Yu is indeed very experienced. Simply and directly pointed out our problem, without any euphemistic hints at all. But we don't hate this man at all, because what he says is true, and our mistakes and shortcomings do exist, and there is nothing unacceptable about that.
Two desert jeeps in addition to fuel. That's enough food and tools for us.
As we sat on the blankets, eating hot pot and drinking cold beer, I almost felt like I was on vacation.
All of us have one thing in common: no matter how bad the situation is, no matter how difficult and dangerous tomorrow awaits us, we will still enjoy every minute and every second of our time today.
Dong Lao once said a sentence that I regard as a classic: It is a day for people to live happily, and it is also a day to live unhappily, so why not enjoy the time of life happily? Even if God tells me that I have to go back to the West tonight, Lao Tzu can still happily pull you to drink.
I deeply believe that so many things have come over, and I have slowly changed from a layman who is easy to be pessimistic when encountering things. has become a tenacious and unbeatable insider, this is all a mentality bought with blood and sweat, no matter what, just live in the moment.
The third child and I also solved that little gap today, and naturally drank very happily. We emptied the beer we had brought almost overnight.
The sound of the four people laughing spread far away in the night, and when we were tired from drinking, we lazily packed our things, and Ji Yu carefully sprinkled the whole camp and around us with a liquid to repel poisonous insects. Insect repellent powder in the desert is almost useless, as long as there is wind. That insect repellent powder is equivalent to giving it for free. This insect repellent that is not easy to evaporate specially made by the Saibei people can play a role in the desert.
With Ji Yu, an experienced old driver, taking us, we were relieved, and the four of us were crowded on the side of the hillside, wrapped in sleeping bags, and fell asleep.
Take advantage of the wine. I soon fell asleep.
......
"Big brothers! Eldest brother! Wake up! ”
I don't know how long I slept, I was suddenly woken up by Ji Yu, I opened my eyes and looked at the sky, it was still dark, not even bright.
The sunrise in the desert is extremely early, and it seems that there is not even four or five o'clock at this time, Ji Yu called us to get up at this time, isn't there a brain disease?
I was a little angry when I got up, although I was upset, but I still crawled out of my sleeping bag, Ji Yu was already busy lighting the fire, and the moment the fire lit up, I instantly even got goosebumps.
The entire camp is bounded by the insect repellent sprinkled by Ji Yu. All around were a large patch of black pressed insects, their black carapaces glowing faintly in the light of the fire.
"What the fuck is this!"
I couldn't help but ask.
"Desert marching ants... It's the Grim Reaper of the desert. The anthelmintic medicine I sprinkled last night was just to prevent them, these things have something to eat, and the teeth can even swallow iron and gold, if I forgot to sprinkle the deworming medicine last night, maybe we would have become a pile of bones by now. ”
Ji Yu said with a wry smile. The expression on his face was still solemn.
I looked closely, Ji Yu really didn't exaggerate, the empty beer cans we threw out yesterday were completely gone at this time, and it was estimated that they were all chewed up by these things.
The only fortunate thing is that Ji Kang's deworming medicine has also protected our two cars, otherwise it would be really difficult for us to get out this time.
Thundered.
The sand beneath our feet suddenly began to flow slowly, and a lot of sand sprinkled with insect repellent began to flow, and the desert marching ants were eager to attack us through the gap.
"There's something down here!"
The third child, who had woken up, screamed.
