As long as they could see the beautiful piece of green, Gu Gongzi's eyes did not stop looking over there, even if they were occasionally brought up by the wind with a burst of yellow sand, they would quickly open their eyes after the sand receded, as if as long as they closed their eyes, the green color would disappear in front of their eyes out of thin air.
Gradually, the pale green slowly grew larger in my eyes, and then became larger, and finally I could clearly see the shape of the grass. Gu Gongzi's gray and thin face was filled with a very excited expression, his thin eyes were wide open, and his little hands seemed to have infinite strength, raising his leather whip high and pumping it the camel.
"Smack"
There was a crisp sound, which was particularly harsh in this rustling sound. When the camel saw the green, it was already naturally speeding up, and was whipped by the old man, and it was even more hoofed and galloped towards the green grass.
The rock lions and their guides were not as mad as he was, and without the whip of their masters, the camels themselves rushed towards the turquoise.
As soon as they stepped into the green grass, although the sun above their heads was still very hot, Gu Gongzi felt that the temperature had dropped a little.
The camel stepped into the grass, and Gu Gongzi couldn't wait to jump down, rolled excitedly on the grass, and lay on his side on it without moving.
"Little doll, are you crazy!"
The rock lion laughed and cursed, urging the camel to continue to move deeper into the meadow, and the guide did not step off the camel either.
Xue Yue'er stood there looking at Gu Gongzi and smiled, and suddenly saw the guide and they continued to walk deep into the grass, touched Gu Gongzi with her foot and said, "Brother Gu, get up!" Uncle Nine Feet is still running inside! ”
Gu Gongzi patted his scalp awkwardly and laughed at himself: "What's the fun!" Oops, I'm tired, Sister Shan, you pull me! ”
Xue Yue'er smiled: "I'm so tired, I don't want to bend my waist, you want to kill me!" ”
Stretching out his little hand that had turned gray, he laboriously pulled Gu Gongzi up from the grass, and then laboriously climbed up the high hump, urging the camel to slowly chase after the rock lions.
The same scorching sun hung in the air, and the feeling after entering this meadow became different.
With a guide leading the way, Gu Gongzi and the others continued to drive to the depths of the meadow, and gradually, the feeling of stuffiness became a little less stuffy. When the sun sank again, they finally arrived at a small puddle, and there were some strange trees beside it, and sure enough, most of them were thin spikes, and even if some of the leaves were in a narrow shape, the surface of the leaves also had a layer of oil.
As soon as he saw the puddle, Gu Gongzi was so hot that he wanted to jump in to cool down his soon-to-roasted body. The rock lion grabbed him and said, "Little doll, you're too hot, you can't just jump in now, you have to live for a while!" ”
The guide nodded with a smile and said, "At this time, you really can't go to the bath, otherwise you will also suffer from heat stroke." Many travelers do not know this, which is why it is difficult to get out of the desert. ”
Gu Gongzi had no choice but to lie tired in the grass, letting the rock lion and the guide set up the tent.
Since entering the desert, he has not built a tent, but Xue Yue'er still helped on the first day he came in. Now, she was too tired to move.
After resting for nearly an hour, the hot body slowly cooled down, and when it came to its usual state, Gu Gongzi was tired and lying in the grass, and he didn't want to struggle to get up to cool off.
After the rock lion and the guide set up their tents, they rested for a while before taking off their clothes and jumping in to take a bath.
Xue Yue'er looked at the puddle and also wanted to jump in, but there was a difference between men and women, and she didn't dare to take a bath in front of these two big men, even if she was wearing clothes. And if Gu Gongzi was only with her, I am afraid that she would have jumped in a long time ago.
The clothes on the body have long been soaked with sweat and then dried, dry and soaked, or soaked and air-dried, and have become hard and hard, which is a little uncomfortable to wear, and it is even more salty and smelly.
Wait until the rock lions have finished washing, and then go into the tent to rest.
When night fell, the surroundings became a little gray, and Xue Yue'er blushed, hardened her head, gritted her teeth, and went to take a bath together.
With this meadow and this puddle, Gu Gongzi decided to recuperate and recover in this meadow for the time being, and then continue to advance after relieving himself. Already in the meadow, the rock lion didn't urge them to go on the road, anyway, the prepared dry food was still very sufficient.
On the fourth day of entering the sand sea, Gu Gongzi and the others rested in this starry green depression, and the rock lion took out the gray-yellow scorpions and two sand snakes from the skin pouch, and began to take poison and dispense medicine.
In addition to the first time a rock lion greeted and saw clearly, the remaining scorpions, as well as the two sand snakes, I don't know when they were caught, maybe they were caught by Gu Gongzi when he was pretending to be a tumbler.
Gu Gongzi watched excitedly, although Xue Yue'er felt a little scared, she still looked at it with her eyes wide open, very carefully.
After taking a small porcelain bottle, the rock lion first grabbed the two-foot-long sand snake and pinched its thin neck, the sand snake opened its mouth wide and bit indiscriminately, and its gray body wrapped around the rock lion's arm. The rock lion put its head close to the porcelain bottle, the sand snake opened its mouth and bit violently, "click", a slight sound, its curved teeth clenched at the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and a few traces of clear liquid slowly flowed into the porcelain bottle.
It only flowed a little, and it was gone. The rock lion changed its tail and continued to bite into the porcelain bottle.
Gu Gongzi shook his head and said, "Why is this snake venom so small!" ”
The rock lion laughed and said, "Less? This bit of poison is more than enough to poison ten or eight little dolls like you! ”
Gu Gongzi said embarrassedly: "I didn't say that poison can't kill me, but it's very little!" With so little, how can it be enough? ”
The guide standing at the mouth of the tent shook his head and said: "It's still this hero who is bold, and this kind of sand snake dares to catch it for poison!" We saw that it was too late to run! ”
The rock lion shook his head and said: "What am I, there are even more people in the rivers and lakes, who hide these poisonous insects close to their bodies, and directly let them come into contact with their own skin!" ”
"Are they still human, then?"
Xue Yue'er was so frightened that she buried her face in Gu Gongzi's arms.
"Hehe, according to what you mean by this little doll, the old man is not a human being!"
There are a large number of sand snakes, and there are only two of them, so they are quickly done. The remaining large number of scorpions have a bit of a headache, not to mention that they are not easy to catch, but there are enough of them.
When taking their poison, the rock lion changed into a small silver clip, and quickly picked up the scorpion's tail needle, and then gently pinched its belly with his left hand, and pierced its tail needle into a piece of white fine gauze.
Gradually, the gauze became gray and moist, soaked in a small amount of scorpion venom.
After seeing the rock lion take the poison, there was no need to go on the road, Gu Gongzi did not lie down and sleep, and rode a camel to trample this meadow.
Xue Yue'er and the rock lion also followed him, and did not stay where they were and waited, lest this kid get lost here.
In the hinterland of the star-green depression, not far away, there will be a large or small puddle, the grass and dwarf thorn trees next to the puddle are more green and lush, and the rest of the water is a little dwarf and sparse.
Probably, this is also the reason why it is called the Star Green Depression.
In this green depression, the rock lion did not forget to collect some poisons and medicinal materials to cure injuries and health. The bitter medicine he prescribed last time, although most of it was his stored medicine, and most of it was collected by him along the way.
The experts in the rivers and lakes who travel alone know that some medicinal materials are the least kung fu, not to mention that some medicinal materials are closely related to their ability to improve their skills.
At this time, what Xue Yue'er learned was also the internal strength of the rock lion King Kong's incorruptible skills, and for those who deliberately practiced external body resistance, Xue Yue'er said that she would not practice anything. Let the skin become rough and hard, it is better to let her die, the rock lion has no choice but to give up, anyway, he lost the bet, it is not good to be strong.
I stayed in this starry green depression for two whole days, and walked through this small stargreen depression, except for some pitiful medicinal materials, there was no gain.
With these two days of rest, Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er relieved themselves and began their unfinished journey.
In the early morning of the sixth day of entering the desert, without the urging of the rock lion, Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er got up early, simply gnawed a few pieces of dried meat, packed up the tent, jumped on the high hump, and continued the unfinished arduous journey.
On the sixth day, Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er performed well, and they didn't pretend to be tumblers anymore.
After a whole day without any surprise, there were several more scorpions in the skin of the rock lion.
On the seventh day, Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er showed tiredness, and the rock lion harvested a lot of scorpions and three sand snakes.
On the eighth day, two more tumblers appeared in the herd, and the situation of not wanting to move was staged again.
On the ninth day, Gu Gongzi was swaying from side to side on the twin peaks of the camel, when suddenly the wind and clouds above his head changed color, and the guide hurriedly said: "Not good! There is a sandstorm coming, so hurry up and surround the camels and hide behind the herd! ”
A sharp urging sound, Gu Gongzi's drowsiness flew away in an instant, and he staggered off the hump, and the rock lion had already quickly led the three camels on his side. Under the command of the rock lion and the guide, Gu Gongzi hurriedly ripped off the bags on the hump, and in the future of the storm, they were so busy that the sweat of the bean was densely dripping from the body that was already full of dust and sweat stains.
With the help of the rock lion, the thirteen camels were all pulled together, and the guide lay down on the sand and gravel one by one, and the reins on the nostrils were tightly tied together with a finger-thick rope.
In a narrow gap that was enclosed, it was piled with the goods that had been brought in, and it was covered with a huge net.
The sweaty face of the rock lion was no longer as relaxed as before, and it was more anxious than the previous heat stroke of the sixth princess, he leaned on the back of a camel, one in each hand, and tightly hugged Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er in his wide arms.
Looking at the anxious face of the invulnerable rock lion, Gu Gongzi didn't dare to despise this sandstorm at all, and said secretly: "Could it be that the storm in this sea of sand is the same as the storm above the sea?" ”
As soon as this idea arose, the oncoming wind gradually became stronger and stronger, and the already gray fog immediately became thicker, and it was clear in the gray fog when I opened my eyes.
The flying sand struck, covering their faces all over their bodies, and then they were taken away, and then they were doused with the next wave of dust.
Being held tightly in the arms of the rock lion, Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er still heard the wind blowing louder and louder, raising the flying sand and smashing it down on them, hurting to the touch, and they were almost numb by the smash.
At first, the wind blew violently, only bringing up the layer of floating sand on the surface of the desert and flying forward. Gradually, the amount of sand was swept away more and more at one time, and even the sand and gravel the size of a bean grain were swept away and smashed down.
The sky was a gray-yellow dust mist, and near the ground, layer after layer of gray-yellow sand waves rolled forward, really like the waves above the sea.
Eventually, the wind and sand became violent, and the yellow sand flew everywhere, and the rolling sand waves moved forward like a frenzy, and what was originally a small sand dune was blown as flat as the surroundings in an instant. There are also sand dunes that are a little higher, and the wind and sand have swept them over, piling them up a little higher.
Hiding behind a small sand dune, the sand was smashed and scraped away at first, and nothing happened. Gradually, he climbed higher and higher, and most of his body was buried in the sand.
The sand and gravel still felt a little hot, they couldn't feel it anymore, but they were frightened by the ferocity of the storm, worried that they would not be buried alive by the sand like this, and they were even more worried that they would still be left alive.
The sand and soil did not pass their tight and low backs, and then their necks, and by the time they did not reach the neck of the rock lion, they had completely submerged Gu Gongzi and Xue Yue'er.
The sand and gravel did not pass through the mouth and nose, and the scorching sand and gravel drilled straight into the nostrils, choking so uncomfortable, and the heart beat even faster, "bang ......" as if to break the thin chest.
Gradually, the feeling of suffocation came, and the only thing that could be inhaled with difficulty was the air with the smell of scorching sand, which was very uncomfortable, and I felt that I would be out of breath every second.
The sand waves pushed violently, and in an instant, they were directly submerged in this sea of sand, and even the head of the rock lion could not be seen, and after a while, the hump was also submerged.
Gu Gongzi suddenly felt that he couldn't breathe any air, and boundless fear came all over him, and he kept saying in his heart: "Is it really that he was buried alive like this and died tragically in the sea of sand?" From now on, there is no need to worry about being closely pursued by those first-class martial arts masters! Finally, it's still going to die! ”
At this moment, Gu Gongzi had a smile on his face, and he looked through several of the happy and sad things in his mind at a speed faster than lightning.
In the picture in my mind, I don't know how many memories of the past I looked through, and finally passed out without knowing anyone.
The wind howled, the yellow sand covered the sky, the sand waves rolled, the dwarf sand dune was gradually blown off in half, and the rolling sand waves directly buried Gu Gongzi and their camels, and there was no trace of them.
A layer of sand dunes was scraped off, and the sand that buried Gu Gongzi deepened several feet, and slowly the sand dune became equal to the sand covering Gu Gongzi's head.
The wind is still strong, the sand waves are still the same, and the sand waves are still pushing forward layer by layer. The sand that was no longer a sand dune was low and low, and the sand that covered the heads of the ancient princes had been reduced by one layer.
It began to pile up, and now it began to decrease downward, and I don't know how much time passed, and the hump submerged in the sand reappeared on the sand sea, then the camel body, and then the head of the rock lion, the head of the guide, the head of Xue Yue'er, and the head of Gu Gongzi.
When the yellow sand blew off the sand above the rock lion's head, the rock lion trembled slightly for a moment in the fierce wind and sand waves. The guide did not react, but clung to the reins of the camel with both hands.
Xue Yue'er and Gu Gongzi were also unconscious, the rock lion hugged the two of them tightly in the wind, and he could feel a trace of warmth from their bodies, as well as Xue Yue'er's slight heartbeat, but Gu Gongzi didn't seem to react, Yan Shi's indistinct face frowned, and he couldn't wait to put down his hand to test it.
However, the wind was still strong, the sand waves were raging, and I couldn't support myself hiding behind the camels, so I dared to let go easily.
