Uncle Lu's eyes rolled, and he smiled and said, "You see that you haven't slept here, I wanted to come in and see you, if you sleep well, I will go out, and I won't ask you about important things......"

I waved my hand impatiently and said, "You still don't talk to me about these useless things, although there is an age difference between the two of us, we can be regarded as growing up together." Don't beat around the bush if you have anything to say, just say it. ”

Uncle Lu's face stretched out, smiled embarrassedly at me, pulled me to sit on the sleeping bag, stared at me with a pair of cunning eyes, and said, "Isn't it very uncomfortable this afternoon?" ”

I knew what he was going to ask before he finished his sentence, but I couldn't get straight to the point about the ghost he was hiding in his heart. I pretended not to know anything, and nodded with a bitter face: "It's not that you didn't see my miserable appearance, what do you say?" ”

He sighed, lowered his head and said, "I suspect that the mosquitoes are carrying the virus in the corpses......" He suddenly raised his head and asked casually, "After you woke up, did you feel any changes in your body?" ”

I thought back to my nightmares and what had happened since I woke up, shook my head, and said, "I didn't feel any difference. Uncle Lu, do you know what the sweetness promised to me by the chief controller, where is it, why can't I feel anything? Wouldn't that be a wasted suffering? ”

He shook his head and said, "I don't know, it was better to let your uncle suffer this trip for you." Perhaps my tone and expression were too sincere, the doubt in his eyes gradually faded, and he patted me on the shoulder and said, "Tell me if there is anything wrong, I know a little more after all, and if I can help you, I will definitely do my best." ”

I hummed, Uncle Lu stood up and lifted the curtain and whispered, "I'm going to keep vigil, you go to bed early." ”

Although my mind was still a mess, in the process of turning over and over the flatbread, I felt more and more sleepy, my eyelids kept fighting, and when I opened my eyes again, I saw Zhang Siyuan's frozen white face.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned and said to me, "This ghost weather is about to freeze Lao Tzu into a popsicle, you hurry up and replace me, so that I can sleep again." ”

I crawled out of my sleeping bag in a daze, and was about to walk out when I was hit back by a chill to the bone. Stroking the goosebumps, I quickly pulled my robe out of my bag, stepped out and sat down against the tent and curled up.

At this time, the sky is slightly exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and it looks deep and lofty between gray and non-gray. There were still a few stars in the night sky, and there was not a sound all around, and the occasional chilly breeze blew and made me wrap my robe tightly. I leaned on the edge of the tent, and my chaotic mind began to work again, what was the gift that the chief controller had said?

But after all, the heavens can't be easily broken, and no matter how hard I try to remember or think, I can't grasp the slightest clue. I spread my hands, gave up, and my mind began to wander endlessly. Involuntarily, I remembered the images of thousands of rattlesnakes crawling past my feet.

I shuddered, and the snake that was coiled at my feet came to mind, and I couldn't help but feel a chill in my back, and cursed fiercely in my heart: I hope it dies immediately.

After reciting it silently like this twice, I couldn't help but secretly laugh at myself, why did I compete with a snake today? I lamented my childishness, chuckled and straightened up, opened my half-squinted eyes, only to find a rattlesnake lying less than half a meter away from me.

My scalp was numb and my body was cold, and I really suspected that it was my cranky thinking just now that I had brought it in, and nervously touched the gun on my waist and was about to fire, but suddenly I realized that the snake's posture was a little wrong.

It slumped limply on the ground, and no matter how much I changed my movements, it would not raise its neck to turn hostile to me. It looked lifeless, like a dead snake.

I was suspicious, squinted my eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, and when I saw that it didn't move at all, I took out my dagger and stabbed it seven inches. I stared intently and saw that the dagger was firmly stuck in the snake's head, but the snake remained motionless, and walked towards it with a low sigh of relief, clutching a gun.

The snake's body was covered in blood, and its body was so badly deformed that it was impossible to see how it died. But the blood on its body had not yet coagulated, and when I got closer, I could still smell the strong smell of blood, and I had the courage to touch it lightly, and was surprised to find that its body was still warm.

I let out a low cry, my head full of question marks, and I stood up and looked around, there was no place in the wilderness for anyone to hide. I glanced at the lifeless snake corpse again, and suddenly saw that this one's body seemed to bear a lot of resemblance to the one that crawled over my feet during the day.

I crouched down and turned on my flashlight to take a closer look, and found that it was indistinguishable from the nightmare in my mind, both in length and size, even the red spot on the tail.

I jumped up and took a few steps back, but a bold idea popped into my head. I gasped at this thought, shook my head and said in my heart This is absolutely impossible, how can I have such an ability, can I think about what can I see reality like this?

But at the same time, another voice whispered: How do you know if you don't try, this gift that everyone needs is only so magical that it can be worthy of my swollen bag and nightmarish memories.

My heart was pounding, my legs were involuntarily weak, and my blood seemed to start flowing faster. I took a deep breath, stroked my chest, took a deep look at the snake corpse, closed my eyes and began to paint a picture of the chicken leg in my mind, and kept silently reciting the word chicken leg, and at the same time hypnotizing myself, the chicken leg exists in the desert.

After brainwashing myself, I swallowed the overflowing saliva and couldn't wait to open my eyes, only to be disappointed to find that there was nothing in front of me except the corpse of a snake. I let out a long sigh, my heart was really so beautiful that I thought, how could I be given such an ability? I hurried back to the tent and sat down, but I couldn't figure out where the bloodied rattlesnake carcass had come from.

Suddenly hearing the zipper of the tent behind him groan, Wang Zhen's head poked out. He nodded at me, yawned, and said, "How's the vigil?" ”

I was about to answer, but I saw his eyes suddenly straighten, and sleepiness fled from his face, replaced by astonishment. I followed his gaze and saw a rattlesnake with a dagger on its head.

Wang Zhen glanced at me: "When did you vote so accurately?" Why didn't you wake me up last night because of something? ”

I was originally going to talk about it, but the words changed somehow. I laughed and said, "It's just a little snake, so I don't need to bother you." ”

He raised his eyebrows, stepped out of the tent and walked over to the snake corpse and sighed in amazement: "How did you kill it, why is there so much blood on it?" I've never seen you so ruthless on weekdays. ”

I said, "I wanted to give it a good time, but it got more and more ferocious, and almost bit me several times." My heart was on fire, so I took a knife and cut it all over my body. ”

Wang Zhen pulled out his dagger, rubbed the snake's blood on the ground, kicked the flying snake corpse, and nodded approvingly at me. I felt a little weak-hearted, squeezed out a smile at him and cleaned up the tent.

After a short breakfast, we packed our bags and headed out into the desert. Needless to say, after three or four hours of marching, my clothes were soaked with sweat. After raising his neck to drink, Wang Linshuo stroked the kettle worriedly and sighed: "It seems that there is not much water." ”

Uncle Lu opened the lid of the kettle and glanced inside, and said worriedly: "I had filled all the containers at that time, but I still couldn't help us drink like this." If it's really that fast — you have to be prepared to drink your own urine in three or four days. ”

Zhang Siyuan scolded a foul word, and said helplessly: "I can't imagine that this kind of disgusting thing that only happens in TV novels is really going to happen to me." ”

Wang Zhen snorted coldly and said, "That is, when there is water now, you will say so." When your throat is dry and smoking, you feel like your urine is very tasty. ”

I pursed my lips, not wanting to imagine the bloody reality that would follow, and turned my head to think of a light-hearted topic to soothe my mind, but I caught a glimpse of a figure that seemed to rush by in the distance.
