I can only think, maybe it is very close to leave an oasis, or only a mile, or even go on, or I can reach the oasis, and from then on, I can live well. Many people in the desert, before dying, the last movement is to crawl forward.That's precisely because of his delusion that if he crawled out one more step, he might reach the edge of the oasis.There are many people, when they died, their corpses had turned into bones, and the bones were still arranged in the posture of a person crawling forward! That is the great tragedy of being trapped in the desert. When I see others doing that, I may laugh at them for being so stupid. However, when I experience it myself, it is often the same as being laughed at by myself. At that time, I just Move my sore legs, feet high and feet low, and walk forward.

I walked about a mile in the desert, or less than a mile. In short, every time I took a step, I didn't know how much strength I had to expend, and then I fell to the ground. When I fell to the ground, I crawled forward, dragging my body with my elbows, moving forward slowly. Finally, I understood that I could no longer crawl, so I had to lie down and look forward. I saw the desert stretching as far as the eye could see, quietly stretching forward under the moonlight. It cannot be said that it is not beautiful, but, That's the beauty of death, I'm waiting to die. I closed my eyes, and only half an hour later, I opened them. When I opened them again, I suddenly saw someone walking towards me on a camel.

I quickly closed my eyes again, shook my head, and then opened my eyes again. Yes, there was a person approaching me on a camel. I hoarsely called out, but I immediately thought that it was not Possibly, I must have seen a mirage, what I saw must be a virtual image. But can moonlight also create mirages? When I thought of this, I straightened my body and actually stood up. Although I was swaying, I sure did, and I straightened my body again. At this time, the person riding the camel had already He came to me and took the reins of the camel. He was of course an Arab, and my vision was blurry, and my mind was crying out, "Give me some water."

In fact, I also opened my mouth wide and screamed loudly, but all that came out of my throat was a rustling sound, like a rattlesnake shaking its tail. The man got off the camel, pulled off the white scarf on his head, and said coldly, "I finally found you!" At that moment, I fell on the desert again. Corona! I fell on the desert, unable to move, I could only look at Corona, but Corona looked at me coldly, as if admiring my situation, she suddenly laughed: "Run away, I decided not to kill you!" You don't need me to kill you anymore, do you?" There was another rustling sound in my throat.

I'm still saying that line: "Give me some water." But Rona sneered, took two steps forward, stretched out her foot to my face, and kicked me, my lips were so dry that no sand could be stained, but Rona suddenly walked away again. I wanted to reach out and grab his feet, but my hands were too weak to obey orders. I watched as Corona walked back to the camel, untied a leather bag, and shook it. I heard the sound of water sloshing in the leather bag, that was the sound of water, and I finally called out two words: "Give it to me!" Corona said: "Here, what about you?"

My lips were trembling, I couldn't say a third word at all, but Rona walked forward, opened the cork of the leather bag, I opened my mouth quickly, but Rona tilted the leather bag, and I took two sips of water . I never thought that water has such a good taste! However, I only took two sips, but Rona put away the leather bag, and she said, "Now you can say, how do you treat me?" The two mouthfuls of water seemed to have slipped into the dry and cracked soil, and went somewhere in my dry throat. My thirst only became stronger. But my body finally had two sips of water, even though it was only two sips of water, it was enough to generate a strange power, which restored my strength a lot, and I felt better when I spoke.

I avoided answering Ke Luona's question, just said: "Give me some more water, I want to..." Corona's voice became very shrill, and she asked sharply, "I ask you, how do you treat me?" I gathered my strength, straightened my body, stood up, and fixed my gaze on Corona. The appearance of me at that time must have been terrifying, because when I stared at Corona, such a female devil unexpectedly One step back! If she didn't retreat, maybe I wouldn't have that motive, but as soon as she retreated, she held the water leather bag in her hand, and a thought flashed in my mind, and my body also Put that thought into practice immediately.

I rushed forward, grabbed the leather bag with both hands, and then, I heard Corona's scream, I took the leather bag away, but Corona's nails seemed to be on my face Go, swipe, but I don't have time to worry about these! As soon as I snatched the leather bag of water, I turned around and ran forward. As I ran, I opened the plug of the leather bag. I heard the sound of a sharp knife waving behind me, so I fell to the ground, rolled over, and kicked the sand forward with my feet. When I fell to the ground, the water in the leather bag leaked out. I immediately put my mouth on the leather bag and drank greedily.

But Luo Na was forced to take a step back by the sand kicked up, she immediately swung the knife again and rushed forward. I don't have anything else in my hand that can resist her attack, all I have is the leather bag, so I naturally raised the leather bag, but the scimitar in Lorna's hand shone coldly under the moonlight After the sound of "swipe", the leather bag was cut, and all the water in the leather bag poured out all at once, and drenched on my body. I quickly jumped up and swallowed the last few sips of water in the leather bag. I thought that Rona would definitely attack me again, but she didn't attack me. She still held the knife and stood there. standing.

I took a breath and wiped my mouth. I was full of water, like a balloon that leaked and was filled with air again. I felt energetic. I waved the leather bag in my hand, ready to go Use this leather pouch as a weapon to fight Corona. However, Corona still stood still. When I was surprised, she suddenly let out another scream, turned around and ran to the camel, when she came to the camel, she pressed the button impatiently. The camel's head came, but at that time, she forgot to put away the scimitar. The sharp scimitar scratched the camel's body, and the camel suddenly straightened its neck, stood up, and ran forward. Going out, Ke Luona was taken to roll in the sand, and when she stood up, the camel had already run away.

But Rona stood up, and I saw that her face was paler than the sand under the moonlit night. She looked at me, stood still for a while, then turned her head. Looking at me, her face was twitching, and she scolded sharply: "You beast!" I looked at her coldly, I don't know why she is so furious, she still has the upper hand with a knife in her hand, why is she so angry like I caused the end of the world? I looked at her, and she suddenly laughed strangely again: "Okay! This time, we will all die in the desert!" I was stunned: "Dead in the desert?" Ke Luona's voice became extremely shrill: "Yes, here, it takes four days to walk to the nearest water source. You and I, who can go without drinking water for four days, but you have wasted a whole bag of water!" I stood there dumbfounded. At this time, I could say that I was full of water, so naturally I would not feel thirsty, but I came from a terrible thirst situation. When I thought about not being able to get close to the water source for four days, my body, Can't help but tremble a little. At this time, I already knew why Corona ran to the camel immediately after cutting the leather bag with a knife. She wanted to leave quickly. Riding a camel would naturally reach the water source in less than four days. But now, her camel has also escaped. The queen of the desert, the bandit who is elusive with swordsmanship, is now completely like an ordinary person. She cannot go without water for four days! When I thought of this, I suddenly had a very funny feeling in my heart, especially when I saw her angry look, I couldn't help laughing. I said: "Don't get angry, miss, getting angry will make people feel thirsty, you have to die sooner!" When I said that, my mood was very relaxed. Although I would die myself, it was better than after I was captured by her! However, I relaxed too early! But Lorna suddenly laughed, it was an extremely wicked and wicked smile, it was unimaginable for such a beautiful woman to have such an evil smile on her face, I couldn't help it I shivered. Corona smiled and said coldly, "Let's go!" The knife in her hand pointed forward, and she was clearly ordering me to walk in the direction where the light of the knife pointed. I said: "Anyway, the two of us, neither of us can go without drinking water for four days, so why go forward!" But Rona showed her snow-white teeth. She was still smiling, but her smile was more evil and frightening. It was hard to imagine what such an evil and ferocious smile represented. But the answer is finally revealed! She said slowly: "Don't forget, I grew up in the desert, and I have a special ability to withstand thirst!" I wondered: "Can you go without water for four days?" But Luo Na had a special vision, but her answer was surprisingly simple. She said, "No, two days!" I just wanted to say "what's the use of two days", but before I could say that, suddenly, I remembered something, I knew what Corona was going to do! At that moment, my whole body felt numb! And Corona laughed sharply: "You should understand that as long as I don't drink water for two days, I can support the nearest water source. You understand, don't you?" Yes, I understand, I understand what Corona means, she escorted me for two days, when she couldn't bear the thirst, she killed me, drank my blood, and then, she I can persist for another two days. When my body is dried by the scorching sun, she can reach the nearest water source and be saved! That's what I'm going to do to a camel, and she's going to do it to me, and I'm a human! But Rona laughed sharply, she must also know that I have understood her intentions, and she knows even more that when she has a sharp knife in her hand, I definitely have no room to resist! So, after she laughed for a while, she said sharply, "Go!" I turned around slowly and walked forward. I feel that my own legs don't seem to belong to me anymore. The reason why I can not die at this time is all because of the blood in my body, and the blood can maintain Corona's life! I don't have to doubt that Corona is going to kill me anymore. I walk forward and the moon is behind me, so I can see the shadow of Corona following me. She will not be more than six miles away from me. feet. I walked for about an hour, and my chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down. As I walked, I said, "If you decide to kill me to keep your life alive, how do you know that I won't resist right now?" Corona said sharply: "No, because if you resist now, you will die now!" I said: "I'm dead, I can die with you!" But Rona laughed sharply again: "No way, you think, you still have two days to live, in these two days, you might be able to change your situation, you still have hope, hope will make you Live on, don't fight me hard, live until I want to kill you!" I can't help but be speechless. Ke Luona continued: "Peng Du once told me that a member of the tribe once said that hope is a bitch, and hope is the biggest liar. But everyone lives under the biggest liar and refuses to die. They know that their hopes cannot be realized, but they still have to lie to themselves, and you are no exception!" Corona is right, I can't make an exception! As I walked forward, I was thinking, if I can take the scimitar from Corona's hand, then the situation will change! Of course, I won't deal with her like Corona treated me, I still can't survive four days, but it's much better than dying under her knife! And when I was thinking that way, I couldn't help but smile bitterly! Because I was still hit by Corona: I have hope in my heart, I will not fight to die with her, I will hope to change the current situation, although I know that I am in the hands of a first-rate swordsman, I want to take her sword away , is impossible. I have been walking forward, walking in the desert, and I am particularly prone to fatigue. When I step down, there is soft sand underneath, which is very comfortable, but when I lift my feet up again, I feel twice as tired. I saw Corona's shadow, she was always following me less than five or six feet away, I tried my best to think about how to change my current situation, but my mind was numb, and there was nothing I could do. Have no idea. Gradually, from the junction of the desert and the sky, a ray of time appeared, and then the sun rose. If walking in the desert is hard work at night, it is ten times harder during the day! When the sun rose above my head, I started to be thirsty again, and I kept walking, and every time I tried to stop, Corona screamed and told me to move on. After the sun rose above the head, it remained almost motionless. Every time I took a step forward, I had to pay a very high physical price.At dawn, I was still sweating, but gradually, my body only had a very wet and greasy feeling. I licked my lips and gasped for breath. Finally, I fell on the desert and lay down on the sand to gasp for breath . But Rona ran over, kicked me hard, and scolded me. I couldn't understand what she was scolding me, because it was a unique language of her clan, but I knew she was scolding me. In her expression, she must be cursing me with the most vicious language. Every time she kicked me in the face, I rolled on the ground, and I screamed: "Don't force me, let me rest for a while before I go!" But Rona still scolded sharply: "Get up, beast, if you don't go, you won't get up again!" I gasped: "What do I care, anyway, I will inevitably die by your knife!" Ke Luona sternly said: "You keep going, at least you can live for another day!" But Luo Na's words were more useful than any other words. I struggled slowly and stood up. Yes, I can live one more day, which means so much to a dying person, and in one day I can generate countless new hopes for the betterment of my situation. After I stood up, I stared at Corona. We had only walked in the desert for twelve hours, but Corona's appearance had also changed. On her face, there were small grains that looked like salt flowers. , making her silky skin rough. Her lips began to dry out, her eyes shone fiercely, and her hand was tightly holding the knife. She no longer had a beautiful appearance, but became a full-fledged executioner! I didn't say anything, just turned around and continued to walk forward. The reason why I didn't say a word was because I found that the person in front of me, although still a human being, was absolutely inhuman! Finally, the sun moved westward and disappeared under the desert again, and I fell at least seven or eight times. Every time I fell, Rona would rush over and kick me, cursing, after all, she belonged to the desert, and she never fell once, and finally, I fell to the ground again, and this time, no matter how much she kicked me , I don't even want to get up. I'm really exhausted. And when Corona kicked me more than ten times, and I was still lying there like a dead person, she also sat down, panting. I lay down for a long time before I raised my head. In the darkness, Rona's figure was very blurry, but her pair of eyes were still as sharp as a poisonous snake, shining brightly. I suddenly laughed dryly: "Based on this situation, even if you kill me, you may not be able to get out of the desert!" But Rona stared at me fiercely, and I laughed nervously again, but Rona suddenly raised the knife and slashed at me, and at that moment, everything felt numb!But Corona's knife was only half an inch away from my face, and she put it away abruptly, and then she said coldly: "Get up." I put my hands on the sand and stood up slowly. I stood up straight and said, "You can't expect me to go any farther. I can't support it anymore. When I can't support it, I would rather die!" Ke Luona said sternly: "You were going to die!" I took a breath, the shiny knife tip was less than an inch away from my chest! I can't take the knife out of her hand!Because I can't use my hands to grab the tip of the knife, if I grab her tip, she just needs to swing the knife casually, and my hand will be broken off at the wrist. I had to turn around slowly and walk forward. At this time, I have really reached the limit of what I can support. Every time I take a step forward, my body keeps shaking. About every sixteen or seventeen steps, I must stumble and fall to the ground. Then, it will take quite a while. To stand up and move on. But Lorna must have noticed this too, so she began to abuse me, she stabbed my back with the point of the knife, not very deep, but it made me feel sharp pain, I was forced to run forward, Because that burst of pain was too unbearable. She is using the cruelest method to squeeze out the last bit of strength in my body. She will not kill me until I can't walk anymore. In order to endure more than ten hours, I have to run forward Crawling and crawling, I hardly looked like a human being, but only like a beast. I don't know how the night passed, I just remember that when the day began to light up, I was crawling in the desert, and after I saw the first ray of dawn, I stopped crawling because I really didn't have any strength up! At this time, Ke Luona seemed to have reached the limit of what she could support. When we were no longer crawling forward on the sand, she didn't come to force me anymore, she just held the knife and was panting. I lay down for a long time, the sun has gradually risen, the skin all over the body feels like it is about to split, there is no place, no pain, it is the first time in my life that I feel that life is better than death Well, because after I die, I don't feel any pain! When I felt that death could bring about the disappearance of pain, I no longer had any nostalgia for existence. I fell on the ground, motionless, and waited for death to come. But I waited for a long time, but Rona didn't move at all. I slowly took a breath of air that was as hot as fire, and when I turned my head, I found that Rona was looking forward with her back to me. She stood on a sand dune a few feet high, looking forward very intently, as if she saw something very noteworthy ahead, and more importantly, her back was turned to me at that time! If I'm going to attack her, that's my best chance! She must have thought that I couldn't attack her any more, that's why she was so careless! I braced myself on the ground with both hands. Just now, I was so close to death, but after all, I was born to live, not to seek death. When I found that I could have a chance to survive, my desire to survive , It burned violently again, I only tried my best once, and stood up straight, and then I walked forward slowly. When I came to the side of the dune, and Corona was still facing me, I jumped forward! A minute ago, I couldn't imagine that I still had the strength to make such a violent pounce, but now, I did it. I pounced on Corona, but Corona suddenly fell to the sand dune. I rolled down, and I rolled down too, strangling her neck and right wrist forcefully, forcing her to straighten her five fingers and let go of the scimitar in her hand. Then, with my knees against her waist, she rolled out again, my hand already on the knife. As soon as I grabbed the knife in my hand, I immediately stood up, but Rona rolled twice and knelt on the desert, I raised the knife, but Rona suddenly screamed, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, We can all be saved, and I've seen a car, moving forward." My mouth was so dry that I couldn't speak, but I still tried my best to scream: "You can't fool me!" Ke Luona fell on the ground and said: "Really, a car! A car! It's a car!" But Rona didn't lie to me, it was really a car, it was a medium-sized jeep, and the people in the car must have spotted us, because the car was speeding towards us. The car stopped in front of me, and two people jumped out of the car. I shouted hoarsely, "I'm Wesley, are you here to look for me?" Those two people hurriedly said: "Yes, God, we finally found you!" My voice got hoarse, and Corona and I yelled at the same time, "Water, for God's sake, bring water!" The two jugs of water arrived in our hands, and Corona and I drank water in big gulps, and then I said: "She is the leader of the bandits, take her to the local police station!" Those two people escorted Corona into the car, and I also boarded the car. The car galloped all day in the desert, passing through several oases without stopping. In the evening, we arrived at the Yali Oasis. I saw Bai Su, I saw Jiang Wentao, I pushed Corona, who was as ugly as a devil, in front of Jiang Wentao, and said loudly: "Look at her, that's the person you're looking for!" I never saw the expression on Jiang Wentao's face clearly, I was so weak that I passed out. When I arrived at Yali Oasis, even if I passed out, it didn't matter. I was sent to a tent and rested for two days, but Luo Na was executed the next day, but Jiang Wentao was still staring blankly at her photo. From the photos, Corona is such a gentle, beautiful, and innocent girl, but that is just a virtual image. The real Corona is cruel, violent, and plundering, and she is omnipotent.The distance between the virtual image and the real is really astonishing. In fact, not only Corona, but almost every one of us is like that, isn't it? (full text)
