Chapter 61: The Fourth Layer, Desert
"This thing really got into the habit of popping up every time we slept well." Lao Song looked relieved.
"yes, at least it didn't affect our rest, did it?" The fat man laughed.
"We seem to be off topic." The corners of Six's mouth began to twitch slightly: "Did we cross the again?" ”
As you guessed correctly, this time was the same as the last time, and when everyone woke up the next morning, they found a stone tablet standing outside the tent, which said the fourth floor.
That's not the point, the point is that we are in the desert!
I stared blankly at the yellow sand around me, speechless. We were on a sand dune, surrounded by poplars, and there was nothing else, and the mountains were full of yellow sand.
"Let's pack our things and go, we can't stay in one place for too long in the desert." The GI greeted us.
We nodded, and we all went back to pack our bags, Dad, their injuries were not too serious, and they were able to move around freely now.
"Let's save some water, otherwise we will die of thirst before we encounter trouble." The GI shook the water bottle in his hand and reminded us, "It turns out that when I was a soldier, I went to the desert to train and this is a place of death. ”
In the desert, you can have less food, but you must not have less water, otherwise in less than half a day, you will be ready to raise your body in the desert.
Against the scorching sun above our heads, we walked aimlessly in the desert with our luggage on our backs, the sun was so poisonous, I was wearing short sleeves, and my arms were tanned red in a few moments.
In order to prevent severe sunburn, I had to put on a spare long-sleeved jacket.
It's called a heat, you can think about it, in a place above 40 degrees, you are wearing long sleeves and carrying things on your back, and the sweat on your body directly soaks your coat, which feels like it hurts a lot.
"My mother, if we can get out, Lao Tzu will dig up the ancestral graves of these ancients!" Lao Song kept complaining with a bitter face: "If we dry it for a few more days, we will become roast pigs." ”
", you're a pig!" Several of us yelled in unison.
I walked up to my dad and repeated what Lao Song said yesterday to my dad, and after listening to it, my dad didn't speak for a long time.
Liang Jiu sighed: "Maybe, let's just be careful, don't worry about him." ”
Suddenly I feel a little nostalgic for the old days, but I didn't feel so tormenting, did I?
I took out a few sips of water, closed the bottle tightly, and felt nervous for a while, this water is running out, how long can we last?
Just as I was distressed, the wind began to blow in the place. The wind howled in the desert and raged continuously, rolling up a lot of yellow sand and flying in the sky, and the sky was covered tightly by the yellow sand in a short time
"Run! Find the dunes to hide! Fast! A sandstorm is coming! The GI yelled at us with a pale face.
My heart was half cold when I heard it, God, at this time, you suddenly made such a play, you want to kill us! The wind was getting stronger and stronger, so we didn't dare to delay any longer, so we found a sand dune nearby and prepared to avoid the sandstorm.
"What are you doing squatting! it down! Speed! When the GI saw us squatting on the ground with our luggage on our backs, tears were about to come out, and his mouth kept shouting: "Get down!" It's going to die! ”
Before the GI could finish speaking, the sky darkened, the wind was blowing in our ears, and I held on tightly to my luggage to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
The wind was getting stronger, and the sand was rolled up more and more, and we were all shrouded in overwhelming yellow sand.
Visibility was so low that they could only see what was in front of them, but no one dared to open them. When the sand is blown up by the wind and blows on us, it is like being hit by a small rock.
The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, and everywhere was a golden yellow, and we held our luggage tightly and hid motionless under the sand dunes for at least three hours, before the wind slowly became lighter.
Seeing that the wind was much lighter, we cautiously climbed out of the dunes.
"Our lives are to be picked up, this is too scary, if we didn't have a place to hide just now, we would have been buried under the sand by now." The fat man said with a frightened look on his face, wiping the cold sweat that broke out on his head.
I looked at the yellow sand under my feet and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, we found the sand dunes to hide, otherwise we might be buried under the yellow sand now.
"Let's find a place to spend the night, and I'll get some dead wood to make a fire." The GI said to us: "The night in the desert is cold, and you can't do without fire. ”
Not far from us, there was a huge sand dune, and under the dunes we found a leeward place to set up camp.
By the time we had set up our tents, the GIs came back with a pile of dead logs.
"Everyone put on their clothes, it's cold at night, and it's troublesome if you have a cold and fever." The soldier squatted down and lit a fire, and kept telling us: "There must be a vigil here, many animals will come out at night in the desert, and the most troublesome thing is those poisonous snakes and spiders, everyone be careful." ”
I stared at the fire in a daze, and I regretted it in my heart. I've been in this place for almost a month, and I still haven't found anything, and I'm about to lose half my life.
From the woods to the swamps, the underground corridors to the current nine-storied pagodas, these places are all life-threatening, and I wouldn't have come if I knew it would be so troublesome.
But there is no regret in this world about taking medicine, and if you come, you will be safe. But if you think about it, if I had been given another chance to choose, maybe I would have come here the same, no way, for the money.
"Fanzi, what do you want?" Old Song smiled and walked over to me and sat down, handing me a cigarette.
"Old Song, I regret it a little." I smiled helplessly.
"Regret coming here?" Lao Song pointed to the desert: "I also regret it a little, this place is really not for people to stay." ”
"If you were given a choice, would you still choose this path?" I asked curiously, and when I asked, Lao Song nodded: "Yes, I'm sure you will too." ”
His uncle, this grandson really knows me! I laughed and said, "Let's go, go back to bed, it's time for the GIs to keep vigil in a while, we'll rest early, we'll have to hurry tomorrow!" ”
The night in the desert was eerily quiet, except for the occasional whirring of the wind, and there was only a dead silence.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, at the sound of my father's rage, we crawled out of the tent and crawled out of the tent.
"Wake up! What time is it? Hurry early and rest at noon! Otherwise, just wait for heat stroke! ”
The early morning in the desert is very beautiful, I can't see the crazy scene of yesterday's wind and sand at all, the red morning sun hangs in the sky, the sun shines all over this land, and the yellow sand in the sun is like a piece of gold.
"If only these were gold, let's find a book!" Old Song said with a smile.
"Let's go, think less about what we don't have, we can go back as soon as we finish the task." I smiled and pulled Lao Song back to the camp and began to pack my luggage, ready to continue on my way for a while.
