Grandpa said he wasn't tempted

Chapter 145 Ningning
After another day and night of walking like this, all the water and food in the backpack had been exhausted, and that was when the despair began.

In order to save energy and saliva, even Meng Tingtao's personality that can't hold anything, stopped talking.

For nearly a day, the two basically did not talk.

On the third day, when the evening was approaching, the sky was overcast.

It can't be said that the wind is howling, but the dark clouds in the distance quickly gather, and the sky is getting dark.

After a while, the sky covered the sun, and the sky was so dark that it was about to fall.

It looks like it's going to rain, and if nothing else, it's still a heavy rain.

Min Xianning covered his mouth with a scarf to keep out the dust, and pointed to the distance - a huge black volcanic rock, standing alone in the desert, oblique to the ground at a small angle, forming a cave, which can hide people by visual inspection.

Meng Tingtao nodded and reached an agreement, the two still didn't speak, they lowered their heads and rushed there with all their strength.

It's just that the nature in the wild is much harsher than imagined. It seems that the distance is only 1000 meters, and the two of them only ran halfway, and the rain came.

Bullet-like raindrops fell, crackling and hurting people.

When the two of them got under the cave, they were already covered in water, but fortunately, they were both wearing jackets, which were waterproof, so the rain didn't matter.

Meng Tingtao shook the water beads off his body, wiped his face, and when he turned around, he saw Min Xianning take off his coat.

"Why are you undressing?" he asked.

Although Min Xianning was still wearing thermal underwear, it was obviously not enough to resist the cold night in this ten-degree desert.

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said, "Catch the water."

Then, without looking back, Min Xianning walked along the edge of the cave and dug a hole in the sand with his bare hands.

Meng Tingtao was puzzled, looking at Min Xianning's small figure squatting in front of the rain curtain, he was stunned for a while.

In the distance, in the black clouds, a bolt of lightning just happened to strike, like a gap in the sky, the silver light touched the eyes, the earth flickered, and in an instant, the sky and the earth closed again, in silence and darkness.

The rain is getting heavier.

Fortunately, the sand was relatively soft, so Min Xianning found another sharp stone, and quickly dug a hole half an arm's depth.

She put the waterproof jacket she took off into the pit, and Meng Tingtao realized that it turned out that the waterproofness of the fabric was used to make a water reservoir.

They have been completely without water for almost a day, and this rain should really be used well. After drinking this meal, they can carry it for at least another two days.

"I said, you're smart enough, Mr. Zhuge." Meng Tingtao couldn't help joking.

Before, he laughed at Min Xianning for reading books on stargazing, like Zhuge Liang, but now it will come in handy.

In terms of force output, Meng Tingtao is a good player, but in terms of survival in the wild, he is not as good as Min Xianning, who is learning and selling.

Meng Tingtao sincerely admires him for being eager to learn.

After the cistern was finished, Min Xianning washed his hands with the rainwater flowing from the rocks. After washing, there was nowhere to wipe it. She just wiped it on the sports pants twice.

Just as he turned around and was about to walk back to the cave, Min Xianning suddenly jumped up in fright——

"Ah! Snakes! There are snakes!"

No matter how smart a girl is, she also has weaknesses.

Min Xianning was afraid of snakes, very, very afraid, especially when he saw those slippery and cold snake eyes, his hair stood on end with horror.

She yelled, hopped her feet, and jumped into Meng Tingtao's arms, and the familiar warmth quickly hugged her.

Meng Tingtao circled Min Xianning in vain, following the voice above his head, with an unconscious softness, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you see, it is here to hide from the rain just like us."

"No, no, no, I don't see it, I hate seeing it!"

Min Xianning turned his head away awkwardly like a child.

Meng Tingtao sighed with a smile, "Okay."

Since she said she didn't like seeing snakes, she didn't like it.

Meng Tingtao tolerated, even obediently, raised his arm towards a small snake with red flowers on a black background in the corner, and showed his thick fist along the way.

This display of force is common in nature.

The little snake stood with its head up for two seconds, then quickly scratched the sand and got into the crevice of the cave.

"Look, it's gone."

Min Xianning cried: "It won't come out again?!"

"No, I'm here." Meng Tingtao said.

There was another flash of lightning outside, but this time the distance was very close, and the thunder followed the torn sky, directly above the head.

It's like the end of the world.

Even a rough guy like Meng Tingtao straightened his back, which is really scary.

When he looked down, he found that Min Xianning, who had always been strong, had already burst into tears. Tears threaded from beads to threads, and soon wet his whole face.

"Min Xianning?" Meng Tingtao was taken aback, "Ningning, what's wrong with you?"

Nasal and choked, Min Xianning looked up at him, full of vulnerability: "Tell me, can we still get out of the desert?"

Meng Tingtao was startled, then lowered his eyebrows and smiled again: "Last time I said that we couldn't get out of the desert, and you slapped me in the face. Now you say that again, should I give you the slap back? "

It was originally a joke, but there was no lively atmosphere. Instead, there was a sense of loneliness that was left behind in the corner of the world.

There are only Meng Tingtao and Min Xianning here, and even love and resentment are nothing more than you and me, me and you, no matter how big the world is, it seems that it has nothing to do with them.

This desert is a corner forgotten by the world.

Min Xianning said sadly, "I'm not actually afraid of death, I'm just afraid... I won't see He Jin again."

She is not afraid of being forgotten by the world, but she is afraid of not seeing He Jin.

The weight of the whole world can't be surpassed by He Jin alone.

For some unknown reason, Meng Tingtao suddenly felt a heart-rending pain in his chest.

Looking at Min Xianning's tearful eyes, he felt that his heartache was unstoppable, and he had to do something to relieve the pain——

He opened his coat and wrapped Min Xianning in, his chest pressed against his chest, leaving aside all his status and status, he exerted all his strength and hugged him into his arms.

"Ningning..." He called her softly, "Ningning, don't be afraid."

A sound of Ning Ning, like the rhythm of beating on the heart, was so sudden that Min Xianning woke up.

She suddenly realized that her hands were resting on Meng Tingtao's chest, and the cotton sweater inside him was already wet with tears.

The dark brown water stains were blurred, like a flower blooming in his heart.

Min Xianning broke free and was embarrassed for a moment. There was obviously something wrong with this atmosphere, but when he looked up at Meng Tingtao, he just smiled faintly.

"Seeing that you are shivering from the cold, I will warm you up for you. I don't appreciate your kindness."

The strange atmosphere just now suddenly dissipated again, as if nothing had happened, Meng Tingtao wiped the wetness on his hands, and took two steps towards the entrance of the cave.

"I don't know when the rain will stop, so let's spend the night here tonight."

Min Xianning was silent for a while, calming his breath: "Yes."

　Meng Tingtao: My role as the second male lead has just started, why is the next chapter going out of the desert, alas!
