The Lonely Lamp in the Desert Chapter 25 Water Shortage

I don't know what the phrase "whitebeard" means, if I am asked to raise camels, I will never agree, if I say to stay in the local area to accompany Feng Pingping, just think about it, if I really do that, Mazi has to scold me for being heavy on sex and light on friends.

The village was already very close to the desert, so I set out early the next morning, bringing with me all the equipment that Whitebeard had given me, and the rest was hay, salt, and a few tanks of drinking water.

Not long after walking in the direction of the desert, the already sparse vegetation on the ground became even more scarce, and the wind and sand gradually became larger, and it was obvious that the air was filled with the smell of yellow sand, and a layer of light yellow sand was piled up on the trouser legs at some point.

"It's time to put on all the mirrors!" "Whitebeard" led the way at the front, and remained silent, when he suddenly turned back and told us that it was time to wear a secret mirror, thinking that it would not be too far from the desert.

We put on the secret mirror that we bought from the market yesterday as he asked, and it was a little tight, but we thought that this would prevent the wind and sand from blinding our eyes, and we would be able to endure the tightness compared to the pain of losing our eyes.

"Lying ...... Lying ...... "Whitebeard" saw that we had all put on the secret mirror, raised his arms very high, pressed down, and repeated the words "lie down" in his mouth, and the camels in the herd who did not carry the supplies and equipment really understood his words or understood his gestures, they fell down one after another.

The camel after lying down is more than half shorter than the camel standing up, everyone including Feng Pingping can easily straddle the camel's back, with the "white beard" sound "up", all the camels that have just fallen down stand up at the same time, and the feeling from low to high is very good in an instant, and the air two or three meters high with each other feels fresher than the air below.

After riding a camel for a while, the scenery in front of me changed, the endless sea of sand came into view, and there was no color in the eyes except golden yellow, the yellow sand was against the scorching sun, a little dazzling, but I couldn't help but look at the yellow sand under my feet, what kind of magical power of nature can move such a sea of sand to the hinterland of the vast Junggar Basin!

Except for "Whitebeard", everyone else was entering the desert for the first time, so they were all very excited, and I saw that "Whitebeard" was only riding a camel to lead the way, but he didn't want to say a word to us, so he rushed to the front and asked, "Old man, is there anything on your mind?" ā€

"Whitebeard" has very small eyes, and when the scorching sun flickers, he squints at me: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I've been in the desert too many times, and I don't have your excitement, the wind is not too big today, there shouldn't be any danger, hurry back and talk to that little girl!" I saw that she hadn't squeaked since she entered the desert! ā€

It was only after his reminder that Feng Pingping had spoken a lot less after entering the desert, although I could see that she was also very excited, but it was the four of us who spoke, and she just listened to us and didn't interject.

"Are you alright?" I parked the camel next to Feng Pingping, and when I saw her body shaking unconsciously with the bumps of the camel, I thought she might be sick.

Feng Pingping was originally sitting on the hunchback with her head down, turned her head to look at me, and her originally haggard face still showed a smile: "Brother Song, it's okay, maybe it's hot every day, and I'm a little unused to it." ā€

"Then hurry up and drink some water! Don't get dehydrated! "I handed her my water bottle and told her to rehydrate quickly, because she could go hungry in the desert, but she must not be short of water, because if she lacks water, she will be in danger of her life.

Feng Pingping took the kettle and didn't unscrew the lid, but looked at me again: "Don't do it!" We haven't been in the desert for a long time, and if we start drinking water now, I'm afraid this water won't last for a few days! ā€

I heard her say this and did make sense, but she was really not optimistic to see her like this, but there is no need to force such a small thing as drinking water, I can't stand it if I am really thirsty, I don't need you to persuade her, she will definitely drink it herself: "Put the kettle on you first, and drink it quickly when you are thirsty!" ā€

Lu Yubo has been waiting for this desert operation for a long time, and now that he has finally entered the desert, his mood is naturally much better, and he talked and laughed with Mazi along the way, but he completely lost the attitude of a rich son.

Mazi has a big heart, he has never remembered a grudge, Lu Yubo talked to him, and he also talked with Lu Yubo very happily, and he did not remember the hatred that was ridiculed by Lu Yubo in the Northeast before.

However, Lu Yubo is a cultural person who has read books for many years, and Mazi is just a street vendor with a primary school education level, and there are naturally many places where the two of them talk without speculation, and it can be seen that Lu Yubo is a little disgusted with him for not knowing anything, but it seems that no one among several people can chat with him for so long except Mazi.

Actually, I also want to talk to them and talk to them, after all, there are still a lot of common languages between men, and I can say that I also have a university education level, and it should be easier to communicate with Lu Yubo, but looking at Feng Pingping, who is weak on the side, think about it, forget it, I don't worry about leaving her alone behind, in case she accidentally falls off the camel again, we don't find it again, let her be trapped in the sea of sand alone, it is really a lot of luck.

Feng Pingping still drank the water after all, and after drinking the water, the whole person looked a lot better, thinking that if she had been persuaded to drink water just now, maybe it would have gotten better faster. But I still didn't feel at ease about leaving her alone behind, so seeing that although she was in a better state, I still gave up on the front and Mazi and the two of them nonsense.

"How did I find out that you didn't like to talk much in the desert?" I'm very puzzled, obviously when she was on the train and in the village, she talked a lot, but now she has no words, and being ill will indeed make people not like to talk, but not saying a word, it's a little strange.

Feng Pingping rolled her clear eyes up, as if she was thinking about something: "Do I love to talk so much?" I'm just talking a lot in front of Brother Song! ā€

She reminded me when she said this, I really didn't find that she had said too much to Mazi or Lu Yubo, Mazi is a rough person, ignoring the sentence "Niang Xipi" in three sentences, and Lu Yubo's character is not liked by Feng Pingping, thinking about it like this, it is normal to only have something to say to me.

"Hey, Brother Song, what the hell are you thinking? Eyes don't blink! "For so many days, Feng Pingping obviously doesn't treat me as an outsider anymore, the two of us are very close, seeing me in a daze, she directly stretched out her slender hand and patted me wearing a straw hat.

"Ah...... Not...... It's nothing......" I suddenly remembered that when I first arrived in Urumqi, she chatted with "Whitebeard" in the local dialect for a while, the voice was very loud, we could all hear it, but we couldn't understand a word, and now I think about it really curious: "By the way, what were those words you said to Uncle 'Whitebeard' in dialect a few days ago?" ā€
