Chapter 168: Lonely Smoke in the Desert (3)
In the desert in the early morning, the air is like washing, and there is a weathered hill not far away, the hill has no greenery, and the sky is floating with large red clouds, which are illuminated by the morning glow.
"Little brother, come and lead the camel!" said the red lady, standing on the edge of the desert.
Chen Yang took a few steps to take the rope that tied the camel in Sister-in-law's hand, and said, "Sister-in-law Hong, I haven't led it, do you have any tricks?"
"No, it's just like you're at home. Hongsao said.
"Let's go!" Boss Zhou shouted.
A team of more than a dozen people set off, carrying the morning sun on their backs towards the desert. Chen Yang followed the last of the four camels, the camel bell sounded, and his feet were soft.
As far as the eye can see, there are undulating sand dunes everywhere, the eyes are full of yellow, not even a single tree can be seen, the vast desert makes Chen Yang extremely excited, this is the first time he has seen the desert, and it is also the first time to cross the desert.
Soon Chen Yang's joy was replaced by exhaustion, walking in the desert was very strenuous, looking at the smooth and flat sand should be very hard, but every time he stepped on it, he would sink deeply.
"You can walk on other people's footprints to save effort, don't step on smooth places. Sister-in-law Hong noticed Chen Yang's exhaustion and pointed and said.
Chen Yang followed Sister-in-law's advice and saw that others were also walking like this. I stepped on the footprints in front of me, and sure enough, the sand below was hard and no longer sagging.
The camel is the ship of the desert, not only knows the way like an old horse, but also has stronger physical strength than a horse, and can go days in the desert without eating or drinking.
People can't do it, and they will be hungry and thirsty if they don't eat or drink for half a day. Chen Yang had just walked for a long time, and he was thirsty and uncomfortable, it was said that he had ten thousand years of spiritual power, so he shouldn't be so fragile.
The first is that Chen Yang lost his spiritual power due to the battle in the underworld, if it wasn't for absorbing the thunder god's heavenly thunder and injecting strong qi, fusing with the ghost fire spirit bead and netherworld qi in his body, and recovering a little spiritual power, it would be impossible to even come here;
Although no one believes that an ordinary person will cross the desert to the Tianshan Mountains regardless of it, it is better to be a low-key person and save a lot of trouble. The three brothers of the Zhou family didn't find any treasures on him, which didn't mean that they didn't suspect him, so Chen Yang disguised himself.
"Sister Hong, give me some water to drink, I'm out of water, I can't stand it with thirst. Chen Yang drank the water he brought and said to Hongsao.
"That's two days' worth of water, you'll drink it in half a day, and then you'll die of thirst!" Scarface said fiercely.
Scarface is very dissatisfied with this hairy child who doesn't know anything, in this desert without people, it will only get in the way of delaying things. It's just that Sister-in-law Hong has to take him, and their team is Boss Zhou's final say, and Boss Zhou listens to Sister-in-law Hong, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't do anything.
It's only been half a day, Chen Yang drank up the water for two days, who can give him water, you must know that in the desert, water is your life, and it is difficult to move an inch without water.
"No one told me that the water was for two days. Chen Yang said.
"Do you want to tell you, are you a pig's brain? don't you think with your brain, you can only get to a place with water in two days, you can bear with it!" Scarface said angrily.
Chen Yang stopped talking, endured his hunger and thirst, and followed the camel forward in the desert with no road.
"What to be angry with a child, he has never been in the desert, how can he know so many things. Seeing that Chen Yang was silent, Hongsao walked forward with her head down, handed her kettle to Chen Yang, and said, "Brother Chen Yang, come and drink my water." ”
"Sister-in-law Hong, no, let him endure it for another half a day!" Boss Zhou shouted.
"What's fierce, just let him take a sip, what do you see he is thirsty for?"
In this team, except for the red sister-in-law who dared to contradict him, no one dared not listen to his command.
Chen Yang took the kettle of Hongsao, took a small sip of it carefully, handed it to Hongsao, and said, "Thank you, Hongsao!"
Sister-in-law Hong smiled heartily: "You little baby is real, let you take a sip, it's okay, you just drink, we will go to a place with a water source tomorrow, and we will replenish it then!"
Although it was cold, everyone walked in sweat, stopped at noon, sat on the sand dune, and simply ate a little dry food, and after a short rest, Boss Zhou urged to hurry.
Chen Yang felt strange, seeing that others were relaxed, but he was tired and out of breath. It wasn't until it was almost dark and the big guys were tired that they found a sheltered place and camped on a small bald mountain that was severely eroded by wind and sand.
After a few small tents were set up, everyone began to bury the pot and cook.
"Chen Yang, go with my sister to pick up firewood!" Sister-in-law Hong looked at Chen Yang, who didn't know what to do, standing stupidly on the side and shouted.
When Chen Yang heard the shouting, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Okay, let's go collect firewood, when I was a child, I would collect firewood and burn sweet potatoes in the field." ”
With the work, Chen Yang was very happy, this was much better than sitting dry, and he didn't look at the white eyes of those people.
"I didn't see it, you still burn sweet potatoes. Sister-in-law Hong's gaze at Chen Yang was a little hot.
Chen Yang only looked down and plucked a bunch of dried red willow roots, did not see the eyes of the red sister-in-law, and said: "When I was a child, I would herd sheep! On Sunday, together with a few friends, I drove the sheep to the small river and let them graze. We went down to the river to catch small fish, and then put a prepared iron sheet on the fire, and roasted the small fish directly on it, and sprinkled it with salt stolen from home, and it tasted very good!"
Sister Hong said enviously: "You guys really know how to play!"
Chen Yang pulled out a red willow vigorously, but he didn't pull it out, and said, "Sister Hong, I didn't expect this red willow to be so thick and strong." ”
Sister-in-law Hong smiled: "Of course you don't know if you haven't been into the desert, the branches and leaves on the top of this red willow are not luxuriant, but the roots below are more than ten meters deep in the sand, and it is impossible to uproot it." ”
Sister-in-law Hong said and walked to Chen Yang's side, reached out and grabbed the red willow to help Chen Yang pull it up. Unexpectedly, Hongsao's strength was much greater than Chen Yang's, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pulled the red willow off from under the sand.
Chen Yang was defenseless, fell on his back, and sat on the sand. When Chen Yang fell, the spiritual power in his body felt the danger and automatically came out to protect Chen Yang, Chen Yang felt the abnormal movement of the spiritual power in his body, and suddenly retracted the spiritual power, and let himself fall on the sand, anyway, the sand was soft and could not be hurt if he fell.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yang retracted his spiritual power, fell down fiercely, and smashed the sand under his buttocks into a deep pit, not to mention his buttocks, even half of his waist fell into the pit.
This is a bit surprising, Hongsao's eyes widened, looked at Chen Yang incredulously, and said, "What's the situation with you? Hongliu couldn't pull it up, but smashed the sand into a hole?"
Chen Yang said embarrassedly: "The sand here is too soft. ”
Hongsao walked over and stomped the sand on the edge of the deep pit with her foot, only to have a few shallow footprints.
Hongsao said, "The sand here is not soft!"
"Isn't it soft?" Chen Yang didn't know how to answer, and scolded the red sister-in-law.
Hongsao squatted down again, stretched out her hand and pressed the sand in the pit, which felt hard and hard. Reaching out and suddenly touching a soft, cool mass,
Sensing the danger, the red lady shouted, "Oh no!"
Sister-in-law's screams alarmed Boss Zhou, who was not far from her, and Boss Zhou came to Sister-in-law Hong's side quickly with a meteor and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's a snake in the sand!" said the red lady and passed out.
"Sister-in-law Hong, is it okay?" asked Chen Yang.
"It's all your kid's fault. Seeing that the place on Sister-in-law's hand that was bitten by the snake quickly became red and swollen, Boss Zhou kicked Chen Yang away and said fiercely.
Chen Yang didn't watch out again, he was kicked by Boss Zhou, and sat down in the deep pit just now, crushing a cobra to death.
Chen Yang is so angry! It's not the red sister-in-law who bitten herself, why did Boss Zhou kick himself with so much force. Boss Zhou cares so much about the red sister-in-law, what is the relationship between this red sister-in-law and him?
Chen Yang stood up from the sand pit and saw that Boss Zhou was sucking sharply at the wound on Sister-in-law's hand with his mouth, spitting out the black blood he sucked out one by one.
Scarface and Zhou Lao Er also ran over when they heard the sound and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yang said: "Sister-in-law Hong's sister was bitten by a snake. ”
"What about the poisonous snake?" asked Zhou Laoer.
"I just crushed me to death. Chen Yang pointed to the dead snake in the sand pit and said.
Seeing the red sister-in-law who had passed out in a coma, Scarface said viciously: "Why weren't you bitten to death by a poisonous snake?"
"This can't be done, you have to find a way to heal her quickly, how can there be snakes in this winter, aren't they all hibernating?" Zhou Lao Er said.
"Hibernating snakes bite harder!
Boss Zhou's mouth began to swell because of drugging Sister-in-law Hong, and he couldn't even say anything: "Don't, don't fight anymore, hurry up, hurry up and carry her back to the tent and give her an antidote injection." ”
Zhou Lao Er didn't say anything when he heard this, picked up his sister-in-law and ran towards the tent. Put her on the quilt of the tent and tap it a few times on the neck of the red sister-in-law, Chen Yang knew that it was sealing a few acupoints to prevent the snake venom from spreading.
Zhou Lao Er immediately took out a box from his backpack, opened the box, took out the needle and medicine, and skillfully injected Hongsao.
After half an hour, Hongsao hadn't woken up yet, and everyone was anxious, and they all resented Chen Yang.
Boss Zhou said, "Do you want to give her another injection?"
"There is only this needle, in the winter, there is no preparation, who would have thought that such a thing could happen. Zhou Lao Er said.
"What should I do? I can't look at ......."
"Shut your foul mouth! Zhou Lao Er didn't wait for Scarface to finish speaking, and said angrily.
"I blame this kid, you have to take him with you, and he had an accident on the first day in the desert, and I don't know what happened after that?" Scarface said.
"Leave him here tomorrow and don't let him go with us again. Another said.
Chen Yang saw that everyone was rolling their eyes at him, and he didn't get angry, no matter what, this incident was caused by himself, not to mention that his life was not good, whoever stuck to him was unlucky.
I haven't seen Long Xiaoyu for a long time, and as soon as I met, I sent Long Xiaoyu to hell to suffer, and I was an ominous person. Thinking of Long Xiaoyu, Chen Yang felt a piercing pain in his heart, and he didn't know how much pain Long Xiaoyu would suffer in hell.
