I subconsciously got up, turned around and put my hands in front of me, but when I saw the person in front of me, I was relieved, it was Uncle Man. He held an oil lamp in one hand. Holding two short knives that fit together in one hand, and two water bottles hanging from my body, my reaction scared Uncle Man.

Uncle Man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Poor child, what kind of danger have you experienced to be so vigilant?" ”

I put my hand down, and I smiled awkwardly: "Uncle Man, it's my frightened bird." ”

Uncle Man has already changed his clothes, and looking at the equipment on his body, it should be prepared for entering the desert. Before I knew it, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the village was silent, and there was no unusual sound at all. After putting down the oil lamp, Uncle Man handed me the short knife in his hand.

Uncle Man was busy in the house again, and soon, flashlights, compasses, kettles, and anti-snake and insect medicine were all available. Uncle Man asked me to apply those pills to my body. This might have the effect of repelling snakes and insects, so I did, and when I finished painting, Uncle Man was waving to me at the back door.

This was the first time I came to the back door of Uncle Man's house, and there was a tall camel squatting outside the back door, and Uncle Man led the camel and led me around the house and walked in the direction of the desert. Camels are just in case, the bad weather in the desert is difficult for people to resist, and the camels may be able to resist in case a person gets lost in the desert. Exhausted, camels are life-saving creatures and vehicles. Manually enter the alphabet at the address: П. to a new chapter

We walked very fast, and Uncle Man kept looking around, as if he was on guard against something. I know that Uncle Man would never make such a move for no reason, I am afraid that there will be danger. He also looked around very carefully. However, until we reached the edge of the desert, I didn't find a single figure around.

I asked Uncle Man what he was worried about just now, and Uncle Man just shrugged his shoulders and said that he was afraid of attracting evil spirits in the village. I know that Uncle Man is definitely perfunctory to me, and Uncle Man dares to take me into the desert. And if he went to the place where the village chief found the coffin, then he would definitely not be afraid of this nothingness, or even believe it at all.

Uncle Man wouldn't tell me, and I didn't want to ask too much. By this time, Uncle Man had already led me into the desert. The soles of my feet were so soft that I felt like my feet were sinking into the yellow sand as I got deeper and deeper into the desert. One of us was holding a flashlight, and with the light, we could see the road under our feet.

Uncle Man led the camel and told me that the desert is still dangerous, especially at night when there is no light. At night, it is difficult for us to fully see the surrounding environment, if we encounter a tide of insects, we will suffer from flesh and blood, and at worst we will die, in addition, Uncle Man also told me not to go too fast, if I step on the sand depression, the whole person may be swallowed by the desert in an instant, and buried at the bottom of the yellow sand.

I'm not afraid of ghosts and gods, but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid of the natural environment. In many natural environments, the desert is relatively mysterious and unfamiliar, and there may be many unknown dangers here, I am convinced of Uncle Man's reminder, but at the same time, I am even more puzzled: since I know that it is more dangerous to enter the desert in the dark, why did Uncle Man choose this time.

Is it harmful to me? No, I can see that Uncle Man doesn't have this heart.

We walked very slowly, and Uncle Man would turn back from time to time and glance at the way we had come, and this repeated action drew my attention, but when I looked back, there was the vast night and the vast yellow sand behind us, and nothing else.

Every time I asked Uncle Man what he was looking at, Uncle Man either didn't answer, or perfunctorily told me that he was alert to evil spirits in the desert. We walked for more than an hour under the slow pace, but Uncle Man still had no intention of stopping. We seem to be almost in the middle of the desert.

In the darkness, we were surrounded by yellow sand, and the edge of the village and desert was no longer visible.

It was cold, but after so much careful walking through the desert for so long, beads of sweat broke down on my forehead. After looking around for a while, Uncle Man told me that this place was relatively safe, and after Uncle Man finished speaking, he sat down. He took out the kettle and poured water into his mouth, looking like this, Uncle Man was going to rest.

The camel was put aside, and Uncle Man didn't care about it, but the camel had no intention of leaving.

Seeing me standing, Uncle Man beckoned to me: "Li Ke, sit down and rest, it's a big night, we walk so slowly, I'm afraid it will take more than half an hour to get to that place." ”

Under the persuasion of Uncle Man, I also sat down, in the desert, the most taboo is to use up all the physical strength at once. Drinking water, I looked around, and there was a moon in the desert, and in the moonlight, the uneven desert shone in some places, and was a shadow in some places.

In such a place, if you stay alone, even the most daring person will probably have heart palpitations. Looking at the end of the desert with no end in sight, I always felt that I might never be able to walk out of such a large area, and the more terrifying illusion was that I felt that the sand dunes were moving.

They seem to be slowly approaching me, and when they do, they are likely to open their mouths, suck my blood, and chew on my flesh and bones.

"What, scared?" Uncle Man suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

I didn't hide it: "It's not that I'm afraid, I'm a little flustered." ”

Uncle Man laughed dryly: "Phobia of nature." Some fear the deep sea, some fear the mountains, and many fear the endless desert. During the break, Uncle Man told me about the first time he crossed the desert alone.

Uncle Man grew up in Kuta Village, and when he was very young, Uncle Man's father would put Uncle Man on a camel and take him across the desert. But as Uncle Man grows up, he is faced with **, and he has to cross this small desert by himself. It was daytime, but the conditions at that time were not better than now, or even worse, because Uncle Man encountered a huge wind and sand.

In the desert, sandstorms are very deadly, and many people call this kind of desert disaster death.

"I still remember that I walked in with my camel in my hand and at first without fear, but the more I got to the middle of the desert, the more my feet trembled, and it wasn't long before I encountered the sandstorm."

The sandstorm almost killed Uncle Man, and after Uncle Man escaped by luck, he lost his way, and he kept walking in one direction until his head was dizzy. Perhaps he was lucky enough to go in the right direction, and the moment he stepped out of the desert, he was completely unconscious.

"Are you still scared?" I asked.

Uncle Man shook his head: "I've experienced it, how can I be afraid, if I'm afraid, can I still take you in and send you to death?" ”

Under my guidance, Uncle Man said the answer I wanted, and I smiled slightly: "Everything is the same, since you have experienced it, you should no longer be afraid, let alone give up." ”

I'm alluding to the contrast between Uncle Man's youth and now, the current Uncle Man is desperate, even if he refuses to tell me what happened to him back then, but if Uncle Man can get out of the haze and regain his confidence, this is also what I like to see. Uncle Man was slightly stunned, but he immediately shook his head again: "Not everything can come back a second time, just like the wind and sand, which once brought me pain, I was lucky to survive, but if I do it again, my bones will be gone." ”

Uncle Man understood my hint, but he blocked me with his answer.

I was about to persuade him further, but Uncle Man stood up, and he said that it was almost time to rest, and it was time for us to continue on our way.

However, at the moment when we just stood up, Uncle Man suddenly turned his head suddenly, and with the direct light of the flashlight, we saw a figure behind a sand dune! To be precise, it was like a human head, and the figure was obscured by the sand dunes below the neck, and we were in a relatively low position, so we could only see the head.

It was too far away for me to make out the man's face.

In the middle of the night, the people who will appear in this desert are definitely not simple! I picked up the dagger and ran in the direction of the figure! The most ^new ^ chapter ^ section Baidu search --- blue ~ color ~ book ~ bar...
