Chapter 90: The Running Camel
All in all, whether it is a lesson from the past or historical experience, Qin Zhen's fate at this time is indeed a little ridiculous in the hands of a team of wild camels. The world is so big, it's all wonderful, right? Who would have thought that one day their life and death would depend on the choice of a camel?
After observing the camels for a while, Yudong said to everyone with some relief, "Let's go, they will lead us to a safer place." In my opinion, it's not about a black sandstorm, it's about rain. ”
"It's raining??" Qin Zhen and Gu Jie asked almost in unison. And it's no wonder they make such a fuss. Because it is well known that the Taklamakan Desert belongs to the warm temperate arid desert. Annual precipitation is never more than 100 mm. If the sun had been shining for a little longer, the rainfall in that year might not have even reached 5 mm. However, the average amount of water evaporated in this devil's desert is as high as 2500-3500 mm!!
It's such an extremely dry place where demand exceeds supply, how can it suddenly rain?? Their lives are too good, right?? Qin Zhen looked at Yudong with disbelief and asked, "Usually when it rains, I listen to the wind and see the clouds, watch the swallows fly low, and watch the dragonflies point to the water... But there's not a single bird in this place, so what do you think is going to rain? ”
Gu Jie scratched his head at this time, not wanting to participate in Qin Zhen's questioning of Yudong. I had to smirk and say, "It's raining!" It just so happens that we have a good bath in this desert, and then drink it to a full extent! ”
Yu Dong 'organized' the camels and said slowly without looking back, "Rain doesn't mean you can see water. I advise you not to have too high demands and ideas. Here, the rain is evaporated and dried up in mid-air. ”
“…… Then who are we still anxious to put on a posture to shelter from the rain? Qin Zhen asked puzzled.
"It's not that I'm going to take shelter from the rain, it's that the camels are going to go. There are so many questions of yours, I'll have one question now, can you go? As he spoke, Yu Dong raised his eyes and looked at Qin Zhen coldly.
Although Qin Zhen was angry when he heard this, he had to bow his head to reality. So I had to endure it habitually, and then followed everyone on the camel in a proper manner.
Not to mention, this trip to the desert is not in vain, at least I have ridden a wild camel, haven't I? Otherwise, with Qin Zhen's character, he might have guarded that city for the rest of his life until he died.
At first, Qin Zhen was still very worried that one of these wild camels would be unhappy and then overturn himself to the ground. But after being nervous for a while, I realized that camels are really extremely tame animals. It didn't mean to hurt humanity in the slightest, though they had no way of knowing if the people on their backs were bad people who were trying to hurt them.
The camel walks with great ups and downs, and it is indeed a little difficult to grasp at first. So Qin Zhen had no choice but to adopt the way of a bear hug and hugged the camel tightly. Needless to say, this posture is very unsightly. But for the sake of life safety, I can only admit it! However, the camel was tilting its head at this time, and the extremely elegant and noble slow walking state of step by step was really unexpected by Qin Zhen.
Didn't he say that camels were good runners in the desert? ? But look at its four long legs, one small step at a time, slowly and leisurely... It's as if the sky is falling, and they'll still stay that way! No matter how you look at it, they don't look like animals that can run wild.
But it's good to think about it, at least you can end up safe, and you don't have to be afraid. Now it's about running for your life, not playing extreme sports, what are you going to do so fast! And after all, this is a camel, not a horse, no one tames, no reins, the terrain is unstable, and the height is much higher than the horse.
Qin Zhen looked at his teammates in front and behind, looked at the gentle wild camels under him slowly moving forward, and looked at the endless desert, and there was an indescribable surging taste in his heart at this moment! That is probably the most primitive wildness of human beings, the sense of return to nature after being separated from society!
Moreover, Qin Zhen also had a special affection for this tame and harmless wild camel with strong vitality. At this time, I couldn't help but lower my body and caress the camel's fluff, as if caressing a domestic pet. Just as his hands were between the camel's necks, Qin Zhen suddenly touched a cold metal object. Immediately afterwards, there was a melodious and ethereal camel bell!
"This wild camel has its own bell???" Qin Zhen couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Jie in front of him was trembling with the camel, feeling the unique desert trip. After hearing Qin Zhen's exclamation at this time, he twisted his neck to look back, and then shouted, "Great earthquake!" What are you talking about? Is your camel domestic? ”
Qin Zhen ignored Gu Jie, but tried to be as careful as possible to lower his body to look at the copper bell hanging from the camel's neck.
The bell was like an upside-down rice bowl, black all over, but glowing with a metallic cold glow. From time to time, there will be a long and long bell, which makes people's hearts feel the desolation and vicissitudes of the desert more deeply.
Qin Zhen is doing this business, just by listening to the sound quality of the camel bell, he can conclude that this is a good thing! But how could this good thing be on this wild camel? Could it be that this group of camels came from the green forest? Have you robbed passers-by?
Wild camels live in herds in desert deserts, so they can't be domesticated. Then there is only one possibility, someone has encountered this group of camels here before, and has also crossed this desert with the help of camels! In the end, I don't know which sensual literary and artistic youth hung a camel bell on one of the camels, perhaps... It's a memory of the camels that I once traveled all the way... After all, at the end of the journey, the wild camel will never meet again......
Qin Zhen shuddered for his assumption of Lin Daiyu's model! If this is said to be in tourist attractions and scenic spots, it may be normal for someone to do this, because after all, there are many sentimental literary and artistic youths.
But Qin Zhen knew that this was deep in the Taklamakan no man's land, and it was impossible for ordinary people to come here just to ride a circle of wild camels! And then by the way, sad spring and autumn. Therefore, the person who hung this camel bell may have a certain relationship with his own team.
Of course, this qiē was just Qin Zhen's speculation after all. The clouds in the sky began to thicken, and in the blink of an eye, they blocked out the scorching sun. The speed at which the heavy clouds float and move can be seen with the eye. This situation is probably really a precursor to rain.
After walking for a while, Qin Zhen could already vaguely feel a trace of cool breeze beginning to blow across his face. This makes people's hot body and mind suddenly feel a little more comfortable.
But the camels didn't seem to like the breeze that much. The pace under their feet began to speed up, Qin Zhen was a little flustered, and there was nothing in his hand that could catch the camel, so he had to gently hold the hump and stabilize his body.
But this team of camels obviously has a tendency to go faster and faster! The way of walking has also changed from a step-by-step lotus to a stride meteor! The acceleration of the pace also leads to a greater difference in bumps and undulations. Until the end, Qin Zhen was finally surprised to see the appearance of this team of wild camels pulling their legs and galloping!!
To be honest, it looks like an ostrich, but it seems a little stranger than an ostrich...... After all, of course, camels run in the desert. The special geographical environment creates a special running posture......
But at this time, under the rapid gallop of the camel, Qin Zhen's face had already begun to turn a little pale! He finally knew that Lao Shen really didn't lie to him, this camel was really a fast runner in the desert! With the rapid jolting and the tension of the unstable center of gravity, the sweat on Qin Zhen's forehead fell drop by drop! At the moment, he can't care about anything, only staring at the camel, and then his whole body is competing with the pace of the camel!!
When this team of wild camels ran quickly, Gu Jie in front of him could no longer be calm! While holding the camel desperately, he shouted "Brother Camel!" with a trilling voice with the bumps! Steady... You hold me steady!! Am I wrong...... Sigh!!! ”
Qin Zhen couldn't laugh when he heard it in the back, this two hundred and five actually used the password to guide the horse to order the camel!! It's not a language at all, can it understand?
But right now, Qin Zhen himself is too busy to take care of himself, and he really doesn't have the leisure to correct Gu Jie's grammar for treating animals! I can only hold the camel with my eyes closed, and gamble that the camel will not throw him out, and then be trampled to death by the large army behind!
As the camels ran, the sky became more and more gloomy. Qin Zhen could even feel the occasional burst of water vapor on his face. I don't know if it's a rare amount of rain in the desert.
I don't know how long I ran again, but gradually, the camel's pace began to stabilize. Qin Zhen also felt that he was about to fall apart! When he straightened up weakly and looked ahead, he suddenly felt his eyes light up!! This... Is this still in the desert? Where was this brought by this herd of wild camels in the green forest......
