Because of the strange tornado, Lu Yebao and his friends were scattered in the desert. Yebao and Xia Lingling are together, but classmate and he are nowhere to be seen. For this devil's triangle-like encounter, Lu Yebao was not satisfied.

Lu Yebao took out his compass and GPS and found that they were now in the northeast of Cairo, but the distance was terrifying.

Xia Lingling had slowly woken up, touching her head with her hand, and it seemed to be a little swollen and painful.

"You're awake!" Yebao hurriedly came up, opened the water bottle, and gave her some to drink.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no time to stock up on water and food, which is the problem that Yebao wants to curse the most at the moment. The desert is hot and dry during the day, cold at night, the wind and sand are endless, and poisonous scorpions are rampant. Nature is sometimes the most terrible of evils. If this trip is not enough, they will be swallowed by the desert, and no one else will even find their bodies.

"Can you go now?" asked Yebao, "we need to find a way out of here." ”

Xia Lingling nodded.

Lu Yebao explored the way ahead, and when he climbed a hill and looked back, he found Xia Lingling lying in the sand. "Xia Lingling!" he rushed up.

I only saw Xia Lingling covering one foot, sweating on her head.

Yebao senses that something is wrong. "Let me see ......"

He took off Wen Xi's shoes, and saw that the ankle was already red and swollen, Lu Yebao clenched his teeth slightly, and touched it lightly, Xia Lingling made a painful sound.

"I'm fine. Xia Lingling said stiffly.

Lu Yebao looked at the distance of the desert and said, "I'll carry you," and carried Xia Lingling on his back as he spoke.

He lowered his head and watched his own steps at his feet.

"Do you remember?" Wen Xi's voice seemed to sound in his ears. It is the memory left by the last time I memorized the text.

"What do you remember?" asked Yebao

"When was the last time you carried me?" Wen Xi smiled sweetly.

"I think I was still in junior high school, and we climbed the wall together. Yebao thought for a moment and said.

"Hehe" Wen Xi laughed, "At that time, you and other boys went to play all kinds of fun every day, and they didn't take us." One time I couldn't get angry, so I followed. As a result, you're climbing the wall. ”

"I don't let you climb, you have to climb. It's not a girl's game anymore. I fell on it," Yebao said

"Play is play, why do you have to divide boys and girls, you often sneak to swim, play electricity, and poke birds' nests. It's all fun," Wen Xi said

"You are the top student in the class, and your parents and teachers have high expectations for you. The head teacher has been training me for a long time!" said Yebao

"It was the first time I had climbed a wall, and I was still wearing a skirt. Now that I think about it, it's funny!" Wen Xi laughed

The memories are sweet, and Lu Yebao couldn't help but laugh.

"You were laughing just now?" Xia Lingling asked tentatively.

"I remember a lot of the past. Lu Yebao said

As if she had received a satisfactory answer, Xia Lingling stopped talking, but took out a book in her backpack, Diary of Killing the City.

When that unique aura appeared, Lu Yebao suddenly stopped, he turned his head to Xia Lingling and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Read a book. Xia Lingling said

"Isn't it a very strange book?" Lu Yebao asked rhetorically, "Will it appear out of nowhere"

Xia Lingling just wanted to speak, but she suddenly showed a hint of suspicion, "How do you know?"

"I, I've seen ......," Lu Yebao said in a huttering voice

"Put me down. Xia Lingling's voice was slightly serious.

Lu Yebao estimated that this would be the result, so he stopped and put Xia Lingling on the ground.

Xia Lingling carefully looked at Lu Yebao with her eyes, her eyes were full of wariness and seemed to carry some hope.

"Do you know anything about this book?" asked Xia Lingling

"Not really. Lu Yebao replied very directly. "I just know that it sometimes jumps out of words, and it seems to have a faithful record of the loss of life. ”

Xia Lingling knew that what Lu Yebao said was right, but this was not what she cared about, and she asked more directly, "When you encountered this book, did you encounter any trouble." ”

"There were daily troubles at that time. Lu Yebao replied, "I don't know what you mean?"

"For example, being controlled by something, becoming very lowly, very dirt......y" Xia Lingling's voice was both humiliated and powerless, both inferior and resentful, an extremely complicated feeling, which made Lu Yebao feel unlikely.

He wanted to ask Xia Lingling to tell the story in her heart, but her eyes were full of yellow sand and she couldn't see the road. The footprints were quickly filled by the wind and sand. When there is wind, the people who blow the sand are embarrassed, and occasionally the sand whistles to intimidate people. As it gets late and night falls, will the dunes turn into man-eating demons with the support of the wind?

The skin from the sun is hot and very uncomfortable.

"Let's go. Lu Yebao said, "When we get to a safe place, we will talk about this issue again." ”

Xia Lingling nodded in frustration.

The sun was about to set, and a patch of green appeared in front of my eyes. "It's an oasis!" Xia Lingling reminded.

Lu Yebao was also very happy at first, but as if he remembered something, he looked again and again with the binoculars on his body. "It should be a mirage......

Xia Lingling looked depressed.

After walking a short distance, a place of green smoke rose hopefully. Yebao didn't say much, run up. He spared no effort in running, and this time fate did not drop the chain.

In the green smoke, kneeling more than a dozen dromedaries carrying goods, some Egyptians sat around the fire, and a brightly dressed man swirled between the fires, dancing the famous Sufi dance.

Egypt is a Muslim country, and the locals abide by the five elements and are good at generosity, and when they see Lu Yebao in distress, they all show a kind smile. Especially seeing Xia Lingling's Muslim outfit, they entertained the two as much as possible, and gave some food, saying that they could take Yebao and the two to Birkash, a more famous camel town in Cairo. There you can rent and buy camels or find other avenues.

Their friendliness gave Yebao a temporary respite, and at this moment, there was a lot of sand in his shoes, which was very uncomfortable.

The Egyptian traveler lent a camel to Xia Lingling to ride, which was a big exception for them. The camel knelt on the ground at first, and when Xia Lingling sat on it, the camel got up, the camel was docile by nature, Xia Lingling spread her arms on the hump, wanting to let her body and mind fly like a bird.

Birkash, surrounded by low walls for miles, is crowded with thousands of camels. Various coat colors, white, yellow, dark brown. Camels kneeling on the ground, camels in pens, camels in carts......

The sound was noisy, with the shouting of traffickers, the whipping, the neighing of camels, the buzzing of flies and the honking of cars, and a stench in the air. The scene can only be described as hilarious, and the feeling is impressive.

In order to prevent the camels from escaping, many camels are hung around their necks with one leg tied to their necks, and they move and jump, which is somewhat funny. Some camels are scalded with markings to make it easier to distinguish.

When he was still confused in the sea of camels, a hand suddenly slapped on Lu Yebao's shoulder. Looking back, it was the rich queen Meng, and they quickly shouted excitedly and hugged each other.

The rich girl and a few classmates got lost in one place, and they called the Egyptian police, which also saved many travelers. However, the whereabouts of a large number of passengers are still unknown.

"It's so good to see you!" Xia Lingling smiled as she tilted her neck

Everyone gathered together, talking and laughing, talking about this mysterious journey.
