Lonely Lamp in the Desert Chapter 29 Take turns to watch
The sun was close to the horizon, and in the blink of an eye, night had fallen, and the temperature had plummeted, and I could already see the exhaled heat. We put all the clothes we brought on our bodies www.biquge.info which barely resisted the invasion of the cold, and the temperature difference between day and night in the desert was too great to be experienced without personal experience.
"Whitebeard" shouted a loud trumpet, urging the camels to walk a few steps forward, in his memory, there should be a ruin of an ancient city near this road, although the ruins are dilapidated, full of broken walls, but it is still possible to block the irregular wind and sand.
The speed of the camels is about the same, probably because the camels of the gold rush team did not rest twenty years ago, so we can find the ruins of the ancient city at dusk, and we have rested for more than an hour before, according to the time calculation, if there is no mistake, we should be close to the ruins of the ancient city.
"Hey, Lao Xu, is that the ruins of the ancient city that the old man said?" Asako rode the camel next to me and asked me.
I lowered my head and thought about what Li told us during the break, and Mazi told me to come back to my senses, and looked into the distance, there were several "giants" of different heights in the dark night, more than ten meters high, but two or three meters short.
Getting closer, the more real it became, where was the damn "giant", it was originally the relics that "Whitebeard" said before.
I don't know that this is the ruins of hundreds of thousands of years ago, but now only some broken city walls are eroded by the wind, after walking into the ruins, I found that the scale of the entire ruins is really not small, because by the light of the flashlight in our hands to look into the distance, at least 200 meters away can see another city wall, and looking at both sides, it may be the reason that the distance is too far, there is no trace of the building at all.
"Rest here! There should be no more suitable place to settle than here! Whitebeard settled all the camels, and once again spread the blankets on the ground, which had been spread at noon to keep out the heat, but now it was to keep out the cold.
Mazi and I took out a small part of the solid fuel we had brought from the northeast, lit some hay, and made a simple bonfire.
Mazi has a big appetite, he hasn't eaten since the morning, and now he finally sees what he eats, Zhu Bajie eats ginseng fruit like him, and he fills three buns into his stomach with three times and divides five by two, burps and pats his stomach, and then he still can't get enough of it: "Good guy, if I stay in the desert for three or five months, and when I go back, I will be even slimmer than Miss Feng!" ”
I glanced sideways at Feng Pingping, who was sitting next to me, she was indeed very thin, and she was not too tall, only about 1.6 meters, so it seemed that she could only weigh more than 80 catties.
I finished eating the last bit of bun in my hand, and teased Mazi: "If Miss Feng is thin, it is called slender, if you are thin like that, you can only call it hemp stick!" ”
When everyone heard me say this, they couldn't help laughing, and shouted angrily: "My fat body is not white, I have strength, I want to be as delicate and thin as Miss Feng, and I can't even ride my fucking bike?" ”
The laughter of several people just now had not stopped, and after listening to Mazi's explanation, the laughter that was about to stop became louder......
There are no creatures in the desert, but it cannot be said that it is safe, and the wild wolves in the desert are very dangerous, especially the prey that can be seen in the desert is too little.
There were six of us in total, so we were going to divide into three groups of two, and then the group would "escort" the other four people to rest, so that even if there was danger, we could take precautions in advance, lest all six of us fall asleep, and then unfortunately encounter wolves, and wipe us out, but there is really no place to die.
Randomly divided into a group, I and Lu Yubo group, Mazi and Feng Pingping group, Li Yiyi and "Whitebeard" group, the time is too early, Lu Yubo and I are not sleepy, just ready to do this first post, the two of us are followed by Mazi and the two of them, and then the "Whitebeard" and the two of them, "Whitebeard" and Li Yong are the two of the oldest of several people, and they will feel less when they are older, so it is more appropriate for them to get up at four o'clock to play the last shift for us.
It was only eight o'clock when I looked at my watch, but there was no entertainment in this big desert, and after a tiring day, no one was in the mood to spend more physical strength, so the four of them barely squeezed into a blanket and rested.
The camels were on the edge of the city wall more than ten meters away from us, forming a large circle, and I discussed with Lu Yubo that we would also go over and squeeze with them to keep each other warm, it was too cold to sit like this.
I took out half a bottle of Lao Baigan from my bag and brought it to the camels, whose fur was very long, and it was warm and comfortable to lean on them, and I thought it would be much more comfortable than a few of them lying on a blanket.
I took a sip of Lao Baigan, and suddenly felt the warmth of my whole body slowly surging out of my stomach from the inside out, I saw Lu Yubo leaning on the camel or shivering a little from the wind, and handed him the wine bottle, he raised his neck and poured it into his stomach, which was to stop the cold, and he barely had to continue to shiver.
There is the heat brought by Lao Baigan in the stomach, and the temperature given by the camel outside, and I feel a little sleepy when I lie down, but I also know that I can't sleep when I'm sleepy now, which is related to the safety of several people's lives, and I can't play with it. Glancing at Lu Yubo next to him, he was in a similar situation to me, with a low head and a high head, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Hey, Boss Lu, let's talk for a while, you can't fall asleep after a quiet moment!" I forced myself to push Lu Yubo, and I woke him up even if he was half awake and half asleep.
Lu Yubo was still a little confused, and squinted at me: "Okay, let's talk for a while!" I also have this intention, don't say it, this camel hair is really fucking warm, I can't help but want to go to Zhou Gong when I lean on! ”
I touched the camel behind my back, my hand clenched into a fist, and the whole fist sank into the camel's hair, which was extraordinarily warm: "Yes! If you can make a coat out of camel hair, you won't be afraid of the cold again in winter! ”
When Lu Yubo heard me say this, he seemed to think of something, patted his thigh and said: "Don't say it, it's really fucking doable, I see that the hair of this camel is quite thick, and when I go back, I will discuss it with this old man to see if I can buy this camel, and after killing, the meat will go to him, and I will take the fur back to the Northeast to make a coat, and wear it in the winter so that my friends can also have a long experience!" ”
