Chapter 102 Chapter Fourteen The Wounded Wild Camel

The Canon is still the original one, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but when I opened it, all the words in it were missing.When I found out that my menstrual period was unusual, I had already done various tests. I soaked it in water, baked it with fire, and even irradiated it with a purple light in martial arts novels, and there was not a single fart. After being stunned for a few seconds, the people in front had already gone a long way, leaving only messy footprints on the yellow sand.I wiped off my sweat, strode forward to catch up with Mu Qingxiang, and told her that the words Canon were missing.I thought that Mu Qingxiang would find it strange, but who knows that she will not be surprised, she will disappear when she says to me, you have already memorized it by heart.

But the little cousin found it new. She had heard the legend of this book before, so she always thought that there was some treasure in the fragmented scriptures, but if it really existed, I should have discovered it long ago after holding it for so many years.After working on it for a long time, no one can tell why the words in the Canon disappeared. The best guess is that it was transferred.However, it is absolutely impossible to change the bag. Except for my underwear, only the Canjing is with me. Uncle An didn't understand what we were talking about. When he saw the blank scriptures, he asked if he could borrow them.I confusedly asked why I borrowed a wordless book, can you understand this kind of ciphertext.How did he know that Uncle An said that he had a stomachache and wanted to use the broken scriptures as toilet paper to wipe his butt.After making fun for a while, Uncle Chen urged us to hurry up and stop dawdling.The sun made people almost dehydrated, Zhao Shuai kept shouting that he was hot, wishing he could shoot the sun down with a shotgun.

The yellow sand desert is empty and desolate, and thousands of miles are in sight.Every step I took, I dreamed that I could see the ancient city of Yuequan, but every step I took, I was disappointed without any suspense.In the group, except for Mu Qingxiang, everyone complained that they were not feeling well.But Zhao Shuai just yelled that it was hot, and the rest of us were all dizzy and chest tight.Everything is eaten together, there is absolutely no possibility of poison in the food, otherwise Mu Qingxiang and Zhao Shuai will feel uncomfortable. Uncle An wondered: "It's strange, I have been to the desert several times, and I have never had such a reaction. Could it be that I am not acclimatized?"

I also wondered: "It's not like, I always feel that something is wrong, and it doesn't look like heatstroke." Uncle Chen pressed his temples, and said angrily: "It's not that you guys are too noisy." After the chatterbox opened, Uncle An, who was leading the camel, stopped and continued, "Hey, I thought I was the only one who was uncomfortable. If so many people were uncomfortable, the matter would be a bit serious." Uncle An's face was ugly. What I'm going to say next is not about collective food poisoning, but a story that has been circulated in the desert.The story has been passed down for a long time, and there are several versions, but they all say that after entering the desert, if you suddenly feel uncomfortable, then don’t go further, because there may be danger ahead.This is the same as ghost hitting the wall. In some areas, ghost hitting the wall is not terrible, but to save your life.Because when you are going to drive over, someone in front is likely to rob you, or there is a cliff in front, in short, if you continue to drive, something will happen.

In the past, people in the desert had encountered similar situations, and they all turned back or changed their walking routes.Juan said it vividly, and according to his temperament, he would not add oil and vinegar like I did.If this is the case, it is likely that the ancient city of Yuequan must have not been discovered.If we change direction now, I am afraid that we will miss the ancient city of Yuequan.After Juan finished speaking, he insisted on changing the route, but we all disagreed. I guess everyone knew that the ancient city would be found soon. We fought so hard that we almost stood still, and the camel stood happily, watching the play happily.Nan Gongxiong was delirious, he didn't hear the quarrel at all, and kept walking forward.This person has always been at the back, and while we were arguing, he walked to the front of the line.If Nan Gongxiong hadn't walked in front of us, I would have almost forgotten the existence of this man, and his poor girlfriend didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

At this time, Uncle An got angry again. When he was in a hurry, he lost his temper, led the camel forward, and said that if something happened, don't blame him.We collectively silenced, watching Uncle An angrily walk forward, even Chen Yepeng was stunned.But the camel was frightened like crazy. It just broke free from the rein in Uncle An's hand, refused to take a step forward, and tried to escape. This situation happened once when we first entered the desert. At that time, we picked up a tea pot in the desert. For some reason, the camels were also very scared.We looked suspiciously at the empty desert, but saw nothing but yellow sand.

When Uncle An saw this, he seized on this matter and made a speech, saying that camels are more sensitive than humans and are the most spiritual creatures in the desert. They must have sensed danger, so they refused to go any further.The camel has some spirituality, but I don't believe it can smell danger in the distance, and I haven't heard of any danger in the ancient city of Yuequan.If it is really dangerous, after two thousand years, even stones have been weathered into dust. The camel's madness was much more serious than the last time. Except that the camel had epilepsy, it might really feel the danger that humans couldn't perceive.Seeing this scene, my heart sank. Neither Juan nor Chen Yepeng knew the real purpose of our trip.Both of these people are innocent. If something happens when we enter the ancient city, my conscience will not be able to bear it.Since Ju An is unwilling to go forward, it is better to let Chen Yepeng take Nan Gongxiong back first.

As soon as I said this, Uncle An refused to agree, he said how to divide the things, there is only one camel.If we leave the camel to us, wouldn't he have to go back with his luggage on his back, why don't we just ask him to wipe his neck.After all, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, and we cannot walk separately, otherwise it will be difficult for both parties to have good results. Seeing that the camel was disobedient, Zhao Shuai gritted his teeth and dragged the camel forward. Uncle An distressedly yelled softly, don't strangle the camel's neck.Strange to say, Zhao Shuai dragged the camel forward for five or six meters, but it was not afraid and continued to move forward.Uncle An and I were at a loss as to whether the camel sensed danger or it was just playing with its temper.

We walked towards the sky, Uncle An was still complaining, but fortunately his temper came and went quickly.There was no danger in the empty desert, and we gradually relaxed our vigilance. The little cousin and Zhao Shuai walked in the front, keeping an eye on the location of the ancient city with binoculars.In the desert in autumn, every grain of sand is scorching hot, the temperature is at least over 70 degrees, but it will drop below zero at night.The temperature difference is too big, let us drink water constantly, I'm afraid we can't support it for too long.Therefore, in addition to looking for the ancient city, Zhao Shuai was also looking for water sources nearby.

I walked behind and looked back at Nan Gongxiong at the back from time to time. He drank a lot of water, and if he continued to drink like this, he might drink up all our water.I was embarrassed to say that this naive prospecting team member had to let him continue to drink.I had no hope of finding water. Most of the shallow water in the desert is salty water with a lot of minerals. The more I drank it, the thirstier I became.Although fresh water can be extracted by evaporation, it cannot really solve the urgent need after all. According to the clues found before, there were originally nine springs in the ancient city of Yuequan, and now there is still one spring that keeps emitting water.I find it strange, I don't know if it's true or not, the news was told by my uncle, and no one has seen it with my own eyes.There are underground water veins in the desert, but they have to be dug very deep to get there. It is not a simple project.

At this time, the little cousin yelled and pointed to the front: "Oops, there is really danger ahead!" Everyone was shocked, and it was too late to escape. At some point, black and yellow dust rose from the sky, and a group of sand wolves roared towards them.The little cousin saw with a binoculars that the group of sand waves was chasing a wild camel. The wild camel was still several hundred meters away from the wolves, but it would soon die without a whole body.It looked far away, but the wild camel quickly ran to our eyes. Maybe its survival instinct was stimulated, or it must have not walked ten meters away. Wild camels are taller and thinner, with necks like swans, which are different from domesticated camels.Wild camels are very rare, I can't bear it to be eaten away, so I want to save it.When Uncle Chen saw the sand wolf, his eyes turned red, and after the bullet was loaded, he fired fiercely, regardless of whether the bullet's range was that far.It's too late for us to run now. If people don't have transportation, they can't run away from wolves. When the camel led by Uncle An saw the wolves, he ran away in fright, unable to catch up.We were so focused on dealing with the wolves that no one had time to recover the camels. Even Uncle An hurriedly picked up his shotgun and shot.There are not enough shotguns, Mu Qingxiang, Nan Gongxiong and I didn’t get the guns, so we could only watch from the sidelines.The wolves were frightened by the gunshots, and they didn't dare to rush towards this side immediately, sparing the life of the wild camel. But after Uncle An's camel ran away, it was left alone, and the wolves rushed towards it. In an instant, the camel was bloody.When we shot and rushed over, the camel was already dead, and the poor one still couldn't escape the blood of the wolves.Uncle An just wanted to cry out in grief, but he immediately found that the pack bags on the camel had been bitten to pieces, and the kettles and water bags were leaking, only a few metal pots were still intact. Without water in the desert, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death. Seeing this situation, Uncle An completely forgot about the tragic death of the camel.The wolves did not leave immediately, they were still fighting back in the distance.There are few creatures in the desert, and the wolves probably rarely see so much meat, so they are not willing to retreat. The wild camel was already injured, its hind legs were torn apart, Mu Qingxiang bandaged the wild camel calmly, as if the waves had nothing to do with her.The wild camel took a look at me, and waited for Mu Qingxiang to bandage it up. It left without even saying thank you. Of course, camels can't speak.But the wild camel swaggered away, relying on our rear, which was really annoying. There are a lot of wolves. I counted them, and there are at least thirty of them.No wonder they said that the desert wolf disaster is serious. I really don't know how these wolves survived and what they usually eat.The wolves kept more than ten meters away from us, refused to leave, and even approached slowly. Today's tough battle must be fought. Just save it, because there are not many bullets.I found it strange, and told my little cousin not to shoot. This is too strange. I'm afraid this pack of wolves is not easy. I asked Uncle Chen: "What is the range of your shotgun, and how many meters can you shoot?" "I don't know about this, but it can be done if you want to fight a beast hundreds of meters away. Xiaolu, what do you mean by that?" Uncle Chen asked suspiciously. I glanced at Mu Qingxiang next to me, and felt a bit cold in the hot weather.I clearly saw my little cousin and Uncle Chen hit the pack of wolves more than once, but the wolves were fine.If an ordinary person is hit by a shotgun, he will lose half of his life if he does not die. Why can't the bullets with strong lethality hurt these vicious sand wolves.
