Chapter 46: Loneliness Between Heaven and Earth

The badger oil in Dawuti's hand is really very effective, and I don't know what ingredients are added to it. Anyway, after applying it, you can immediately feel a cool feeling, and the wound is not so painful. I let out a long sigh of relief, and by this time beads of sweat were already covering my forehead.

The pain was relieved, so I could speak, "Uncle Dawut, you are so thoughtful, you even have badger oil!" ”

Dawut smiled while lighting a fire, "Sometimes when you take tourists into the desert, when you light a bonfire, it is inevitable that some people will be burned, not only by fire, but also by the sand that is hot in the summer sun. So I always bring some badger oil with me when I go out, and I've gotten used to it over the years! ”

That's true, but when I hear Dawut talk about the sand burning people, my heart still twitches.

"That's it!" Shi Tao helped me get the medicine and clapped his hands, "Let's rest here today, otherwise it will be very difficult for Zhuo Ran to walk like this!" ”

I nodded, "Okay then!" "I suddenly found that because the pants were cut by Shi Tao, I am basically sitting here with only a pair of underwear now, although it is not particularly cold near the bonfire, the key is that Kong Xue is still standing next to me watching me take medicine, it hurt too much just now to take care of it, and now I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. Kong Xue also suddenly discovered this, her face turned red, she turned her head away, and hurriedly went to the fire to boil hot water.

Shi Tao looked at Kong Xue, then at me, and smiled, I was extremely embarrassed by his laughter. Shi Tao stood up, handed me a blanket, and looked at Haizi next to him, "I'll still go find my Wenmo." ”

By this time, the white smoke had dissipated a lot. We can basically see the whole picture of this sea. This sea is not big, and unlike the one we camped in last time, there is not much vegetation here.

I began to wonder about one thing, that is, where did Wenmo go? We jumped back and forth for less than a few minutes, why did Wenmo disappear? If he is restrained by someone or something else, I absolutely don't believe it, I'm afraid there is no creature in this world that can put down Wenmo silently.

It is possible that he left of his own free will, so where can he go? There was almost nothing to obstruct except for a few sand dunes around, and no matter how good Wen Mo's skills were, it was impossible for him to swim out of the sea in a few minutes and then turn to the back of the distant sand dunes without being discovered by us who were close at hand.

Unless...... I looked at the tranquil sea. I suddenly remembered something, when I jumped off the sand dunes and fell into the sea, I don't know why I felt that this sea was very deep, although I didn't have a specific impression, but I just had such a feeling. Could it be that Wenmo unfortunately sank into this sea? Then I shook my head again, I had seen the water nature of Wenmo when I was at sea, and I, a half-familiar person, had not sunk, how could he!

I thought about a lot of possibilities, but I denied them one by one.

Kong Xue boiled hot water and poured me a glass, "How do you feel?" ”

I touched my cold legs, but they hurt hotly, "It's okay, I can hold on!" ”

"Fortunately, thanks to your second uncle's reminder and the lessons of the Tang family, we can escape in advance, otherwise there will be a few more charred corpses on the dunes." With that, Kong Xue sat down next to me.

"yes!" Kong Xue's words reminded me of my second uncle again, what did he come here for? It's not just him, what is Wenmo here for? What did the Tang family come here for? Even, what am I here for? On the surface, everyone seems to come here for different purposes, but in reality, I always feel that what seems to be an accidental event has an inevitability.

From a distance, I saw Shi Tao coming over, Shi Tao shook his head at us, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

As night slowly fell, Dawuti used the same method, making a simple kang out of charcoal ash again in a distant place. After setting up the tent on it, Shi Tao helped me up and walked over and got into the tent, "Rest early, although your burns are a lot, but the degree is not deep, it will be fine tomorrow, don't worry!" ”

I knew Shi Tao was deliberately comforting me, but I nodded anyway, and I was lying in the tent, with the sand hot from the charcoal ash underneath, which should have been warm, but I couldn't stop shivering.

Kong Xue walked into the tent, just saw this, reached out and touched my forehead, "Ah! OMG! You're in a fever! ”

My teeth were chattering, and I felt like I was sleepy, and I didn't know if it was really fatigue or if I had a fever and I was confused.

I vaguely heard the conversation between Kong Xue and Shi Tao, "Zhuo Ran is burning very badly!" ”

"Give him some fever reducers!"

"Put a wet towel on his head!"

"As long as you survive tonight, it's not a big problem!"

Although I am a little confused, but my heart is still shocked, survive tonight? What happens if you can't survive?

I felt Kong Xue help me up, feed me medicine, and then I fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept, the groggy feeling, the pain in my legs, and the cold sweat all over my body tortured me so much that I couldn't wake up.

I don't know how long it took, but I seemed to feel a little better, and the cold sweat on my body had dried. I finally slept a little more comfortably, and in the meantime I had a dream that I had come to a river, and the water was tumbling at my feet, and it was roaring so loudly that the whole ground began to tremble. I hurriedly took two steps back, but my heel didn't hit the ground, and suddenly someone hit me the back, and I screamed and fell into the roaring water.

In an instant I woke up and rolled over and sat up. Looking at the darkness around me, it turned out to be just a dream, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I touched my forehead, it wasn't so hot anymore. I touched my leg again, and although it still hurt a little in some places, it was much better than during the day.

I was very happy about the rapid improvement of my body, and I turned my head to look at the person next to me, only to find that the tent was empty!

I was suddenly a little surprised, where did all the people go on the big night? I retrieved spare pants from my luggage, got dressed and walked out of the tent. Although it was still uncomfortable to move his legs, at least he could bear it.

The desert was very cold at night, but today the weather was sunny and there was basically no wind. The moonlight sprinkled like water on the desert, and although the night was shrouded at this time, everything around was still so clear through the moonlight.

I walked up to a high ground and looked around, the camels were still there, but there was no shadow of Kong Xue at all. I started to get a little flustered, I shouted their names loudly, and the voice could be heard far through the empty desert, but there was no response.

The vast desert sand sea is endless, and I suddenly feel a little scared! It was as if I was the only one left in the world, and this made me feel a great sense of depression, coupled with a strong sense of fear, which filled my mind.

I rummaged around like crazy, and I searched around the tent more than ten times, and I was afraid that I had missed a corner. How I wish they would suddenly appear in front of me, laughing, "Haha, scared!" "But no!

I sat down on the ground in a daze, and I could only hear my own breathing in the huge space, and I couldn't be disturbed by the sound! I cried out in frustration, "What about people! Where have all the people gone! "But all that answered me was a dead silence!

I felt like I was going to collapse! No way! I pumped myself in the mouth and told myself to be calm! Things haven't reached the point where they have to die at this point.

I took a few deep breaths and forced myself to calm down! I tried to wonder if they thought I was a burden and abandoned me! No, the camels are still there, even if they have to leave, it is impossible not to ride the camels, and I believe that Kong Xue will not do such a thing!

And equipment! I got up and rushed back to the tent, several people's equipment was there, only Shi Tao's equipment was gone. Why is that?

No, there must be clues I didn't find! I ran to the camels again and began to check the luggage and equipment on the camels, almost everything was there except for the ones that had been stuck in the quicksand earlier, but there was only one thing missing, it was a rubber boat!

I was more impressed by this thing, because when I saw Shi Tao preparing this thing, I thought he was a little nervous, and he went to the desert instead of going to the water's edge, what was he doing with a rubber boat? The most scarce thing in the desert is water! Bring a rubber boat for sandboarding!

But Shi Tao told me that the Gurbantunggut Desert has a lot of water, and according to the legend of the fountain of life in King Wu's Western Expedition, rubber boats may be used, anyway, they are not heavy and there are camels, so be prepared.

At that time, I was powerless to refute by him, so I had to let him go, but at this time, the rubber boat was gone!

Did they go rowing, or maybe they found something in Haizi, I hurriedly turned around and ran in the direction of Haizi, I was still very worried in my heart, the place where we camped was not far from Haizi, and if they were on Haizi, then they must have heard my shouting just now. Why is there no response? I can't imagine the answer, I'm willing to leave a glimmer of hope for myself.

I ran deep and shallow in the soft sand, and the burns on my legs were a little numb from the rubbing of my pants, but I didn't care about it.

Running and running, I found a black thing on the ground in front of me, I went over to see that it was a backpack, this is Shi Tao's equipment backpack, but how could it be thrown here?

I reached out and picked it up, and found that the bag had become wet, could it have been thrown into the sea? I raised my head and looked in the direction of Bai Haizi, and for a moment, I was stunned! I was so shocked by the scene in front of me that I forgot to breathe, which was even more unbelievable than Kong Xue's disappearance!
