Tomb Raider's Notes of Qilin City Lord

Chapter 162
162 Chapter 162 Camping

Dolma said that their trip started in a village called Lancuo, where Wenjin bought his horses and camels.To find the mountain pass she saw back then, she must first find the village. However, the village may be deserted now, but the ruins should still be there. Only by finding it can we proceed to the next step.

Sure enough, in the evening, we came to the small village called "Lancuo". It was a village with several low adobe houses. Surprisingly, the village was not abandoned and there were still people living in it. There were four families with more than [-] people living there. Number person.

To be honest, the old lady's memory is really good. She can find such a complicated road and it is so difficult to find. She will definitely be able to find the way this time, so they don't have to worry too much.Unlike me, I have to bring a map when walking around the main city of Qilin City. The road guys in the city are more familiar with it than me. I am embarrassed to say that I will take him to play in the city...

Things went smoothly, and the group of people were overjoyed to see a gathering of humans in the Gobi.

However, an accident occurred when we entered the village. A car overturned into a wind-eroded ditch. Fortunately, no one was safe, but the car was totaled. At this time, we were already quite far away from the nearest road, and it was impossible to get any help. Assisted.This meant that another car had to stay and take care of it, and Aning was very worried.

I looked vaguely at the group of people who were ecstatic because they found the road, sighed and muttered: "What's so happy about, it's not that I'm going to a good place." At this moment, I was sitting in the car with a small face on my face. I was pale, my whole body was cold, and my whole body was stiff. My brother was holding me up, and I was swaying when I walked, and my mood dropped to the bottom...

The black blind man stretched out his hand and pinched my cheek, which made me pout. He looked at me and said, "My brain has been blurred while riding in the car. Why did the little girl start to talk so sadly?" As he said that, he returned his hand. He pinched my face back and forth, and after being stunned for a moment, he continued: "Oh, mute, take a look, your little girl is still rolling her eyes at me."

I groaned and said, "That's not true. They can live a good life, but they want to die. They will not live a good life. They are confused."

The black blind man chuckled: "Oh, okay, that's quite an idea."

I looked at him and said, "Can you promise me one thing?" The black blind man tilted his head, and the younger brother also looked at me, but I lowered my eyes and said, "The minimum standard is, no death."

I said it very seriously. The little brother and the blind man were stunned for a moment. They both knew what they were about to face, and they all knew that I would predict it. They understood what I meant even more. The little girl was really worried about them.

The black blind man gradually loosened his hand holding my face, pressed the top of my head and shook it gently, and said with a faint smile: "Little guy, you should protect yourself first. Don't let me lose my apprentice, otherwise I will follow You’re not done yet.”

The smelly master finally said some heart-warming words, but I didn’t know why I felt dizzy and in pain, and he shook my head...

After that, the black blind man wandered around to tease Wu Xie. The little brother took care of me. Not long after I was shaken by him, the discomfort of motion sickness became more and more severe. My heart beat like a drum, and I felt it in my head. It was like a rabbit hopping, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't lift my head.Then came the stomachache, the stomach was churning, and then I started to have acid reflux. I was getting colder and colder, and I was getting weaker and weaker. I grabbed my little brother’s arm tremblingly, and said to him in a weak voice: "Brother , help me, I want to vomit..."

The look in my brother's eyes told me that I must have looked very funny at that time... The brother took me aside to calm down my emotions. After a while, I successfully vomited it out. I heard that motion sickness can be cured by vomiting it out. A lot, but I am the kind of person who can't vomit it out. Now I'm fine. I vomited to death, and it seemed like I lost half my life. But fortunately, I felt much better afterward... Aning saw how uncomfortable I looked. , got some warm water for me. In fact, Aning would still be a pretty good girl if she wasn't Jude Kao's subordinate.

It was getting late at that time, so we set up camp in the village. That night we rested next to the scrapped car. Because we were leaving early the next morning, no one set up a tent. Instead, they laid out sleeping bags in the open air and lit them. There is a bonfire, and the temperature here at night is extremely low, sometimes reaching below zero.

As the temperature dropped, the little brother asked me to use the fire spirit to adjust it. The black blind man picked a smaller one from the sunglasses he brought with him and handed it to me, asking me to put it on to cover my eyes. After I put it on, he He seemed very satisfied, but I couldn't see clearly with my sunglasses on at night.

Afterwards, everyone hid behind the raised ridges, near the bonfire, chatting about something while keeping warm.

After the car was scrapped, Aning became worried. She said: "Although we are equipped with first-class off-road vehicles, the surrounding conditions are really too harsh. If the mountain pass cannot be found in the short term, these vehicles will definitely One by one, the vehicles are scrapped here. The further we go into the basin, the abandoned vehicles and the people accompanying them may be in danger in the Gobi because they cannot be rescued in time."

Wu Xie said: "Sure enough, in this environment, it is more suitable to use camels and horses. The animals will heal themselves if they are injured, and minor injuries will not affect the movement. But the car is not so lucky. In this environment, as long as an accident occurs, If there is an accident, even a very small problem in the garage will directly paralyze the car here."

Aning sighed and said: "But there are many of us. Riding camels into Qaidam. With the people and the camels carrying luggage and the spare camels, it may take nearly a hundred peaks. We can't find so many camels at the moment." Obviously, I feel that Aning has not finished what she said. She may have another concern, that is, it is too conspicuous. If such a large team is discovered, there will be big trouble.

The mechanic accompanying the team said to her: "Actually, there is no need to be so unreasonable. There are a large number of exploration bases and industrial bases in the Qaidam Basin. With the speed of our car, we can cross half of the development area in more than ten hours. So there’s no need to worry so much.”

However, this was immediately vetoed by Tashi, the grandson of Dolma, who was determined to be the master. He said: "You trust the power of the machine too much. The safe places in Qaidam are only the places radiated by the road network. This part only accounts for about Two percent of the entire basin and the other 90.00% are deserts, swamps, and salt caps. Those of us with less than a dozen cars worth less than 50 yuan have no idea about this area that has been devouring life tens of millions of years ago. The land is negligible.

Even along the least dangerous tourist routes designed, people get lost and die in accidents every year. Don't say that we are now preparing to go deep into no man's land.

Travelers whose purpose is to cross the basin will not stay in the basin for more than two days, but our purpose is to search in the basin.That is to say, our journey is endless. Going around in circles in the Gobi was the biggest taboo of the shepherds here in the past. Therefore, Miss Ning's worry is not unreasonable. It is better to be careful in everything. "

Tashi's words caused them to fall into silence. Aning thought for a long time and asked Tashi, "Then what advice do you have for us?"

Tashi shook his head and said, "Since you are going to enter Qaidam, your head must be pinned to your trouser belt. It has been like this since ancient times."

Wu Xie had heard from others before that Tashi was very angry at Aning and the others for using money to persuade his grandmother to lead the way. He felt that they had brought danger and sin to his grandmother.But the old lady was very determined. In Tibetan families, grandmother's status was very high, so Tashi had no choice but to take care of her.So basically I didn't give them any good looks or say anything nice along the way.

The wind is biting in the Gobi desert at night, and the bonfire is swaying. When I think about what will happen next, I always feel a sense of desolation... The road ahead must be extremely dangerous, and the peaceful scene at this time is just the last moment before the storm. A touch of peace.

The little brother was putting two sleeping bags together. I took off my small sunglasses and put them away safely. If they were broken, the smelly master would definitely dismantle mine.

After putting it away, I looked at the little brother in front of me quietly. The moment he stood up, I suddenly hugged him from behind. I felt like I didn't think about anything, but I felt like I was thinking about a lot. , I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word. My eyes were wet, and I didn't dare to cry, but I suppressed a slight tremor. My brother felt that he was motionless, and I was motionless, so I was stunned. After a while, the little brother felt that I was feeling better, so he held my hand tightly, turned around and held me in his arms, caressed my head and asked softly: "Are you feeling better?"

I nodded slightly, and he pulled me to the sleeping bag that I had put together. The little brother let me get in, and he followed me in. He zipped up the side of the sleeping bag, touched my little head and kissed me gently. I said: "Go to sleep." He sat next to me as if he didn't want to sleep yet. I stretched out my little hand and held the corner of his clothes habitually, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep...

After the few of them said what they wanted, they fell silent and sat by the campfire for a long time. Later, they all got into their own sleeping bags to rest.

Lying there, Wu Xie felt that many people around him could not sleep. When he saw Xiaoxun just now, he seemed more uneasy than when he went to Yunding Tiangong last time. Coupled with the abnormality of Mengyou Ping, things may be more complicated than he imagined. , or in other words, it is complex that I could never imagine.

Listening to the whispering wind all around.He knew that this was the last place marked on the map before entering Qaidam. He looked up at the sky and found that the sky here was much closer to the ground and the stars were much clearer. The sky was filled with stars.The dazzling Milky Way in the sky was so clear that I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Everyone was noisy for a while, but they still couldn't bear the fatigue after running around, and soon they gradually became quiet.

Aning and the others have arranged for local people to serve as night watchmen, so we will not be rotated. This is a village, so there is no need to be too vigilant. That Tashi also said that it is only possible near Hoh Xil. For large beasts, there is so little grass here that even rats are reluctant to come, let alone carnivorous beasts, so they can basically sleep peacefully.

However, Wu Xie still vaguely heard a few animal sounds in the wind, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because we slept in the middle of the entire camp, and if we were to be eaten, it wouldn't be our turn.
