Chapter 46 The loneliness between heaven and earth
The badger oil in Dawu's hand was really effective. I don't know what materials were added to it. Anyway, after applying it, I could feel a cool feeling and the wound didn't hurt so much. Then I breathed a long sigh of relief, and the beads of sweat were already covered with my forehead.
The pain relief made me feel at ease, "Uncle Dawuti, you think so thoughtful, you are actually carrying badger oil!"
Dawuti smiled while igniting a fire, "Sometimes, when I take tourists into the desert, people will inevitably be burned when lighting a bonfire. Not only are they burned by fire, but the sun-sold sand in summer will also burn people. So I always bring some badger oil to prepare when I go out, and I have been used to it for so many years!"
So that's the case, but when I heard Dawuti talk about the fact that the sand burned people, my heart still twitched.
"Okay!" Shi Tao helped me apply medicine and clapped his hands, "Let's rest here today, otherwise it would be difficult for Zhuoran to walk like this!"
I nodded, "Okay!" I suddenly realized that since my pants were cut open by Shi Tao, I was basically sitting here wearing only a pair of underwear. Although it was not very cold to get close to the bonfire, the key was that Kong Xue was still standing next to me and watched me apply medicine. It hurt so much just now, but now I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Kong Xue also suddenly noticed this, her face turned red, she turned her head and hurriedly went to the fire to burn hot water.
Shi Tao looked at Kong Xue, then looked at me, and smiled. I was so embarrassed by his smile. Shi Tao stood up, handed me a blanket, and looked at Haizi next to him, "I'll go find me Wenmo."
At this time, the white smoke spread out a lot. We can basically see the whole picture of this seazi. This seazi is not big, unlike the seazi we camped 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, but there was less than a few minutes apart, so why did Wenmo disappear? If he was restrained by someone or something in one move, I would never believe it. I am afraid there is no creature in this world that can silently bring down Wenmo.
It is possible that he left voluntarily, so where can he go? There is almost no obstacle in the surrounding area except for some sand dunes. No matter how good Wen Mo is, he cannot swim out of the sea within a few minutes and then turn to the back of the sand dunes in the distance, and not be discovered by us who are close to you.
Unless... I looked at the quiet sea. I suddenly remembered something. When I jumped down from the sand dunes and fell into the sea, I didn't know why I felt that this sea was particularly deep. Although I didn't have a particularly specific impression, I just had this feeling. Did Wen Mo unfortunately sink into this sea? Then I shook my head again. I had seen Wen Mo's water nature when I was on the sea, and I, a half-familiar person, had not sunk. How could he be!
I thought about a lot of possibilities, but I have all been denied one by one by one by myself.
Kong Xue boiled hot water and poured me a cup of hot water, "How do you feel?"
I touched my cold legs, but it was in a scorching pain, "It's okay, I can still hold on!"
"Fortunately, thanks to your second uncle's reminder, and the Tang family's previous lessons, we can escape early, otherwise there would be a few more charred corpses on the sand dunes." As he said that, Kong Xue sat next to me.
"Yes!" Kong Xue's words reminded me of my second uncle again. What was he here for? Not only him, but why did Wen Mo come here? Why did the Tang family come here? Even why did I come here? On the surface, everyone's purpose of coming here seems to be different, but in reality, I always feel that seemingly accidental events are inevitable.
From a distance, I saw Shi Tao coming over. Shi Tao shook his head at us, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
The night slowly came, and Dawuti used the same method to make a simple kang with charcoal ash in a faraway place. After setting up the tent on it, Shi Tao helped me up and walked into the tent, "Go to rest early. Although your burn area is quite large, the level is not deep. It will be better tomorrow, don't worry!"
I knew Shi Tao was deliberately comforting me, but I nodded. I lay in the tent with the sand roasted with charcoal ash below. It should have been very warm, but I kept shaking.
Kong Xue walked into the tent and saw this. She reached out and touched my forehead, "Oh! Oh my god! You're having a fever!"
My teeth were trembling constantly, and I felt so sleepy. I didn’t know if it was really tired or if I had a fever and became confused.
I heard the conversation between Kong Xue and Shi Tao in a vague way, "Zhuo Ran is very burning!"
"Give him some antipyretics!"
"Put his head with a wet towel!"
"It's no big problem as long as you get through tonight!"
Although I was a little confused, I was still shocked. What if I could survive tonight?
I felt Kong Xue help me up and feed me medicine, and then I fell asleep deeply.
I don’t know how long I have been sleeping. The feeling of drowsiness, the pain in my legs, and the constant cold sweating of my whole body have tortured me in great pain, but I can’t wake up.
I don’t know how long it took, but my feeling seemed to be a little better. The cold sweat on my body was dry. I finally felt a little more comfortable. During this period, I had a dream, dreaming that I came to a riverside, and the river water was rolling surging, and even the whole ground began to tremble. I hurriedly took two steps back, but my heels fell to the ground, and someone suddenly tried hard on my back. I screamed and fell into the roaring river.
In an instant, I was awakened by fear and turned over and sat up. Looking at the darkness around me, it turned out to be just a dream. I breathed a sigh of relief. I touched my forehead, but it was no longer so hot. I touched my legs again. Although some places still hurt a little, it was much better than during the day.
My body was very happy. I turned to see the people next to me, but suddenly I found that the tent was empty!
I was a little surprised. Where did the people in the middle of the night go? I found spare pants from my luggage, put on my clothes and walked out of the tent. Although my legs were still uncomfortable, I could at least bear it.
The desert at night is very cold. Fortunately, the weather is clear today and there is basically no wind. The moonlight sprinkles into the desert like water. Although the night is shrouded at this time, everything around is still so clear with the moonlight.
I walked up a high ground and watched. The camel was still there, but there was no shadow of Kong Xue and the others. I began to feel a little panic. I shouted their names loudly, and the voice spread far in the empty desert, but I received no response.
The vast desert is boundless, and I suddenly feel a little scared! It seems that I am the only one left in the world. This makes me feel a huge sense of depression, and the strong fear fills my mind together.
I searched around like crazy. I searched around in and out of the tent for more than ten times, for fear that I would miss a certain corner. I wish they would suddenly appear in front of me and laughed, "Haha, be scared!" But, not!
I fell to the ground dejectedly. In the huge space, I could only hear my own breathing. I was so loud that I was so annoyed by this sound! I shouted irritably: "Where are people! Where have people gone?" But the only response to me was death-like silence!
I felt that my own was about to collapse! No! I slapped myself hard and told myself to calm down! Things were not yet dead at this time.
I took a few deep breaths and forced myself to calm down! I tried to think, were they thought I had become a burden, so they abandoned me and ran away! No, the camel is still there, even if they want to leave, it is impossible not to ride the camel, and I believe Kong Xue would not do such a thing!
There is also equipment! I got up and rushed back to the tent. The equipment of several people was there, but only Shi Tao's equipment was gone. Why is this?
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. Except for those who had been trapped in quicksand, almost everything was left, but there was only one thing missing, it was a rubber boat!
I was quite impressed by this thing, because when I saw Shi Tao preparing this thing, I thought he was a little crazy. Going to the desert is not to go to the waterside, so why do you bring a rubber boat? The most lacking in the desert is water! Do you bring a rubber boat to slide in the sand?
But Shi Tao told me that there are many water sources in the Gurbantonggut Desert, and according to the legend of the Spring of Life during King Wu's Western Expedition, rubber boats may be used, but they are not heavy anyway, and there are camels, so they are prepared for any accidents.
At that time, I was unable to refute by him and had to let him go, but at this time, the rubber boat was gone!
Did they go boating, or did they find something in Haizi? I hurriedly turned around and ran towards Haizi. I was still very nervous. The place where we camped was not far from Haizi. Logically, if they were on Haizi, they would definitely hear what I called just now. Why didn't there be any response? I dare not imagine the answer, and I am willing to leave a glimmer of hope for myself.
I ran deep and shallow in the soft sand. The scalds on my legs made me feel a little numb when I was rubbed by my pants, but I didn't care about these things at all.
As I ran, I found a black thing on the ground in front. I went over and saw that it was a backpack. This was Shi Tao's equipment backpack, but how could it be thrown here?
