Chapter 2 In the Desert
Soon, a group of 19 people got on a bus and went all the way to Xinjiang. Xu Qing, who was supposed to be sitting next to Bai Jing, preemptively sat next to Wu Shengfan on the grounds that she couldn't bear to separate Bai Jing and Hu Hai, and Bai Jing, who was sitting in the back, watched, a personable gentleman and a gentle lady, talking and laughing, and suddenly felt that they should have been a couple.
"Don't blame me for talking too much, Bai Jing, that Xu Qing is a woman who hates the poor and loves the rich, you, look away! But Bai Jing, don't care, this kind of woman is not worth your sadness. Hu Hai saw that this was not the right limelight, and immediately comforted him.
"It's okay, it's good that she's happy, we didn't officially establish a relationship, it's not a couple, she has freedom, and I'm worried all day long that I can't afford to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, don't worry about it now, hehe." “
Only Shirai himself knows how sad he is at this time, but he loves history but chooses to be a programmer in order to make more money, typing code day and night, but he never knew that the result would be like this, and he didn't show a sad look when he was used to bitterness tasting alone.
Shirai has been very sensible since he was a child, and in the eyes of others, he has always been an introverted and peaceful gentle type who never gets angry, and he never brings trouble to others, except for Hu Hai.
Hu Hai looked at the calm Bai Jing, knowing that his buddy likes to take things to heart and slowly grind them out, so he didn't say more, sat unusually quietly on the side, facing the window of the bus, and straightened his shiny back. Sometimes silent companionship is the greatest friendship.
The car drove into the endless wilderness, and the students on the bus were also infected by this vast world, and they danced excitedly. Singing, telling stories, playing cards, eating snacks, parking in the evening to set up tents, playing games, and the girls are busy cooking with their own tools, all full of energy.
Finally, the night was quiet, Shirai sat alone on the bus, and most of the classmates were tired of playing, and most of them slept, and the quiet night sky was full of shining stars.
Bai Jing was stunned, and suddenly, as if a piece of stars were connected together to form a complex big character, slowly pressing towards him, Bai Jing watched the flashing big characters gradually enlarge, but the empty sky was depressed and breathless.
At that moment, Shirai seemed to have detached from the earth and entered a white world, where the endless gloomy sky was full of copper locks, and it was so far hidden that it was impossible to see clearly.
There seems to be a wail in the depths of the clouds and haze.
"Bai Jing!" Hu Hai walked over with a bottle of drink and sat on the side, and suddenly Bai Jing felt that the depressed feeling disappeared, as if the stars had always been there and had never changed.
"It's almost Brother Ha, there are so many beauties in this world, we don't have to die to build a ha. Hu Hai thought that Shirai had not come out of lovelorn.
"What do you say! I came out early, Hu Hai, I feel that something is wrong, my eyelids are bursting, and I feel that something is going to happen this time. Shirai looked at the starry sky and said solemnly.
"What can happen, just in this place where birds don't, tigers and leopards can still emerge! You kid has a lot of things in his head all day long!" Hu Hai said casually.
Shirai took out the old book from the backpack behind him, which he had brought specially for this expedition. Under the influence of his father, he always had to go out with a backpack with some food, water, and some basic biological goods. He told Hu Hai about the strange things that had happened recently.
"This book is the only thing my father brought back from that archaeological trip, and I can only read the first page, and the rest of the content does not belong to the text of any period in our country. With that, Shirai handed the book to Hu Hai.
Hu Hai casually flipped through a few pages, and he didn't care if he couldn't read a word, so he threw it back into Bai Jing's hand.
"Bai Jing, don't be a god, although Chairman Mao is lying in the crystal coffin, but we can't forget his old man's words, his old man taught us to believe in science and eradicate superstition!"
Hu Hai was talking nonsense in a serious way, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Chairman Mao, when did he say this, all the nonsense. As he spoke, he tucked the booklet back into his backpack. If others saw it, they would not believe that Shirai, who had always been peaceful, would say such a thing. He only talks to people he knows very well, and even when he talks to Xu Qing, he is usually generous and gentle, humble and polite.
Along the way, Xu Qing didn't talk to Bai Jing again, as if she had never been very acquainted. This change made many people secretly stunned, but they all silently expressed their understanding, because Bai Jing really didn't look worthy of Xu Qing, Xu Qing and Wu Shengfan were talented and beautiful together, and they were a natural pair.
For the next few days, it was normal, driving during the day and sleeping in tents at night. As he drove into the desert, Shirai felt uneasy, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to remain silent.
Finally, the car broke down in the middle of the day, when the sun was in the sky.
"What's going on, squad leader, why did you stop?"
"The car is out of gas...... "The squad leader looked like he was about to cry.
"What's the matter, squad leader, knowing that the destination of our trip is Kunlun Mountain, how could we not prepare in advance!" a classmate named Zhao Gang roared, usually he had the most violent temper, and his strong muscles made him even more fearless.
"My tank is full, I'll go down and take a look. The squad leader said with a sad face.
The squad leader who came up looked even more like crying without tears, "I don't know when the car leaked oil......"
"What the hell is this, we're in the desert now!" the girls began to get scared.
"It's so hot outside, I don't want to go out...," said a girl named Wang Luojia with a crying voice.
The classmates in the car suddenly became a mess.
"Everyone be quiet!" Wu Shengfan still looked calm.
"We've been in the desert for three days, the signal here is not good, and we can't call for help, we can only rely on ourselves now, we all have to unite with each other, now let's gather the resources around us first, and see how much food and water we still have. Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoyue, who was beside Wu Shengfan, walked out of his seat and took back the food and water on the road one by one.
The students who were taken away with food and water were even more frightened, after all, they didn't know when they would be able to get out of this desert, and food and water were the guarantee of life at this time.
"Why did you take back our food and water, didn't you say that everything was all covered when you came?"
Wu Shengfan smiled, and a natural momentum pressed in: "I will distribute food and water uniformly, which is conducive to everyone's unity and mutual assistance." An unmistakable tone reached everyone's ears.
After counting the food and water, Wu Shengfan asked the three best followers who usually played with him to give each of them a bottle of mineral water and a small packet of bread, and the rest was carried by the three of them.
"Okay, now let's get out of the car and continue to walk, according to the drive, we still have about a day left to drive out of this desert, now we have no car, it is estimated that it will take three days to get out, we have to do it as soon as possible, everyone try to save energy." Everyone carries a little luggage, and I will deliver food and water to everyone on time. ”
Unconsciously, Wu Shengfan's words seemed to have become an order, and everyone began to obey, because everyone knew that water and food were there for him.
Bai Jing didn't know what to think, he didn't say a word, he just picked up the backpack he was carrying, pulled up Hu Hai, who was still angry and was spraying, got out of the car, and walked forward silently.
"Bai Jing, they went too far, they only gave us this bottle of water and a piece of bread, how can we get out of this desert!" The hot sun shone on everyone mercilessly.
"Don't speak, go forward, keep your strength, take off your coat and put it on your head. ”
Shirai said as he took off his coat and put it on his head. When he was a child, Shirai and his father went to the desert once, and his father taught Shirai many ways to survive in the desert, but he never imagined that he would be able to use them one day.
Shirai carefully tightened the cap of the water bottle he had just received and put it in his backpack, only he knew that he still had water and compressed biscuits in his backpack.
