I was embarrassed and reluctant, looking at Zhang Siyuan's expression of frowning and winning, and then glancing at Uncle Lu's serious eyes, knowing that I was really in a catastrophe. I sighed, walked over decadently, lowered my eyes and said to Uncle Lu, "I just hope you don't dislike me, I'll drag you." ”

He shook his head, patted me on the shoulder, pulled a telescope-like object out of his bag, and worked on it for a few minutes before the machine's screen lit up. He grabbed a flashlight in one hand and a telescope-like object in the other and held it in front of his eyes, looking a little clumsy. Although I was very dissatisfied with his decision, I softened my heart when I saw his clumsy and laborious appearance, took the flashlight and shone it inside, peeped in, and said, "Why can't the flashlight light light up?" ”

Uncle Lu was also quite puzzled, he shook the machine in his hand vigorously, glanced at it and said to himself: "This rangefinder hasn't been used yet, it can't be broken, right?" ”

Hu San sneered: "Lao Liu will not provide customers with defective products at all." It can't be a problem with this hole, right? The light of the flashlight seems to have been absorbed by the cave wall. ”

I looked closely, and found that the light of the flashlight could not penetrate the depths of the cave at all, and at most it was difficult to move forward an inch into the hole. Uncle Lu showed me the rangefinder in his hand, the screen was pitch black, and there was no point to focus on.

I couldn't help but panic, took a few steps back with trepidation, and persuaded: "Or don't go in, it's really unsafe inside, and time is running out." ”

Zhang Siyuan helped me persuade together: "Although I have already seen Zhang Xuan's timid and lazy heart, this hole is really not suitable for entering, and the light can't penetrate it, and I don't know what the end is." If it's a dead end, it's over, it's too narrow to turn around. ”

Uncle Lu sighed, and his tone revealed unwillingness. He looked back at me helplessly and asked, "How long do you have left?" ”

When I heard this, I felt like a dying patient, as if I had not much time left. I did a rough math and said, "We've been in the desert for four days, and now it's nearly evening, and the fifth day is coming to an end." I remember that Hu San once told me that the deadline is fifteen days later, I don't know when it started? ”

Hu San looked at me in confusion and said, "What is the stupid blue?" ”

Zhang Siyuan couldn't help laughing, but was about to explain when he was interrupted by Uncle Lu, whose expression suddenly changed. He said gloomily, "From the time you first had an illness. ”

My smile froze instantly, my ears buzzed, the faces in front of me blurred, and I racked my brains trying to remember when my first episode was. With the nightmarish pain, I vaguely recalled that afternoon that had been buried deep in my memory for more than eight days.

My blood seemed to have lost its temperature, my heart beat extremely violently, and I looked at everyone with a pale face: "I only have seven days left, how far is the destination from us?" ”

Hu San's face was not very good-looking, his voice was a little unstable, and he said with little confidence: "Probably, didn't Shengzi say that he could reach his destination in three or four days?" ”

I became impatient, and now that the guide didn't know where to go, it would definitely take half as much energy as before to find the life-saving herb. I suppressed the anger that was about to rush to the top of my head, and sighed, "Hurry up and go." ”

When I was pulled back to the ground by Wang Linshuo, the sun had already sunk in the west, and the soft light cast a warm golden color on the yellow sand. Wang Linshuo wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Why did you go for so long?" ”

I sighed: "Ahem, don't mention it, I found a hole underneath, Uncle Lu suspected that Shengzi had drilled into it, so he had to drag me to drill the hole together, and finally gave up under my persuasion." ”

Wang Linshuo nodded: "It's almost dark, you have to hurry up and move forward." He pointed to the camel not far away, and his face was worried: "I just found out that the camel is dead. ”

Although I had expected this, I couldn't help but sink my heart when it actually happened. I sighed, looked at the camel without a trace of life, and said depressedly: "Now it's okay, I have to carry my luggage again."

Zhang Siyuan, who was struggling to peek out of the cave, happened to hear this, and his eyes widened in surprise: "What, the camel is dead?" ”

I said angrily: "I should have been scared to death, now you don't have a chance to be lazy." ”

Zhang Siyuan frowned and sighed: "I'm a little distressed about the five thousand yuan, do you think they sold us a sick camel?" ”

After hurriedly stuffing a few mouthfuls of dry food into our mouths, we set off with exhaustion and worry. Before leaving, Uncle Lu left dry food and a reminder for Shengzi, looked back at the sand pit and said, "I hope he can come out alive." ”

I glanced at Uncle Lu with a worried face, and I always felt that this was very different from his usual face. The blood-colored teeth of the serpent's mouth gleamed strangely in the setting sun, and suddenly fear came at me like a tidal wave, and I dared not think about the sandpit and the blood-stained hole, and I fled as if I had flown away.

Following the guidance of the compass and various instruments, we carried our heavy bags and continued to march into the depths of the desert. Without the camel's right-hand man, the speed is naturally much slower, and I feel extremely difficult. Zhang Siyuan's face was full of aggrieved expressions that he wanted to complain but was embarrassed to complain, and I almost thought he was constipated.

In the blink of an eye, the night covered the entire desert, everything in front of me gradually lost its color, the temperature gradually dropped, I tried to wrap my clothes tightly but still couldn't stop the cold from burrowing into the bone marrow, and the sweat on my face disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Zhang Siyuan was out of breath, his teeth chattered, and said, "It's so cold, can we end today's trip here?" ”

I was reluctant to stop, but my feet were as heavy as stones, and my feet were sore and painful, and the cold wind that blew me through them, I couldn't open my mouth to refuse his words. Uncle Lu and Hu San were also tired, and they all stopped and prepared to set up their tents.

Tonight I don't know what happened, I didn't have any energy at all, and the sound of their voices didn't reach my ears at all, just hovered over my head in an ethereal way. Wang Zhenlian called me several times before I raised my head sullenly and looked at him blankly, he was holding several tent sticks in his hand and wanted me to help him, but when he saw my state, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why do you look like this, are you sleepy?" ”

I nodded indifferently, holding my eyelids that kept fighting, and said, "I...... I went to bed first, and the duty called me. ”

I dragged my aching body into the tent and lay straight in my sleeping bag, not knowing whether I had closed my eyes or not, and my consciousness was already blurred.

I don't know if it was midnight or early in the morning, but I felt footsteps and human voices in front of the tent in a daze. Although my eyelids were still glued, I suddenly realized that this was in the middle of nowhere, and there could be danger at any time!

I exclaimed in my heart, struggled violently, and bothered to rub my swollen eyes, hurriedly unzipped the tent, and poked my head out, the bright moonlight illuminating the back of someone in front of me.

I wiped my eyes and looked closely, and my doubts couldn't help but come to my mind. Uncle Lu: Where are you going? I looked around blankly, and there was silence in the desert in the moonlight, and I could faintly hear the sound of insects chirping and snoring who I didn't know.
