The short-haired girl seemed to have something else she wanted to say to me, but I didn't ask her and she didn't dare to say it. I smiled bitterly and asked her: "I think you have something to say. Tell me. Let's go after that." Find someone else.”
Then she asked: "Then if you can't find anyone else, or if everyone else is dead, you...will you leave me alone in order to survive? I want you to tell the truth and don't fool me. "
To be honest, I haven't thought about this question yet, but now that she's asked me, I'm thinking about it in my mind, if I really get to the end of my rope, will I abandon her?
I think it’s hard to say. When a person is on the verge of death, his survival instinct must be very strong. In order to survive, I may only care about myself. After all, the short-haired girl is neither Xiaoye nor Sister Yuan. I have no feelings for her and will not risk my life for her. Life is out.
However, I also thought that if there were only two of us left, she would be my only companion in this vast desert.
Having a companion is definitely much better than being alone.
Because there is only one person left, the feeling of loneliness will be stronger, and the desire to survive will also be hit. Let alone being alone, it will be much better if there is a dog by your side.
Therefore, I still hope that the short-haired girl can always stay with me. As for whether I will abandon her, it depends on how "near-death" I can be and how ruthless I can be.
Maybe because I didn't speak for a long time, she looked a little panicked, then immediately stepped forward and grabbed my arm, and said with a pitiful face: "Please, brother, don't leave me, okay? I will never cause trouble again." If you talk nonsense, I will be obedient and do whatever you want me to do, okay? I just ask you not to abandon me."
I tried to comfort her, saying don't worry I won't abandon her, but she probably still didn't believe me, and made me swear, saying that she would feel at ease only if I swore.
Naturally I didn't want to swear something that I couldn't guarantee myself. I said, "You won't abandon me until I say I will. If you don't believe it, then find someone who does."
Then she said aggrievedly: "Okay, brother, I won't say more."
Afterwards, the two of us started looking for other people or supplies. We tried to walk to the top of the sand dune, shouting as we walked, or standing on the top and looking towards the low-lying land below. Unfortunately, we found nothing until the evening.
This made me feel even more depressed and felt that something might happen to someone else.
But when I saw the girl with short hair, I felt some hope again.
This guy can be said to be the weakest in the entire team. If she can survive, the others should be fine too, right?
"Brother, should we continue searching? It's almost dark."
When night fell, the short-haired woman looked at me and asked.
I said no more, we had to find a place to spend the night. The temperature in this desert is too low at night. We didn’t have a tent or thick clothes and bedding. If we didn’t find a better shelter, we might be freezing at night. died.
"Well, come on, brother, I believe you can find it." The short-haired girl clenched her fist and shook it in front of my eyes to cheer me up.
To be honest, she sounds like a brother, and her tone of voice is so gentle. It's really hard for me to adapt. If it weren't for the exorcism medicine and quicklime, I would have to test her and see if she can. Was he possessed by someone?
"You said that if you talked to people like this from the beginning, you would be more popular with people, but you always look down on people and like to say some sarcastic words." I said with a smile.
"Then...it's not that Xiaoye didn't want to squeeze a bed with us at the beginning. I'm a very vindictive person. You scolded me so much that night that I hated you in my heart. And you all looked so disgusting. I don’t look like a good person, so naturally I don’t have a good temper.”
"What about you now, do you still think I'm a bad person?"
She shook her head: "I don't think so. In fact, I have never thought you are a bad person, but those two are particularly bad."
Of course I knew clearly that she was talking about Zhao Hu and Jianzui.
I said they just talk a little bit and like to make jokes, but in fact their character is not bad.
"Anyway, I hate them. If the person I want to meet is them instead of you, I'm afraid I'll want to commit suicide directly."
This is what the short-haired girl said, but I definitely don’t believe it in my heart. If she really encounters Jian Zui or Zhao Hu, she will definitely rely on them. She will also say nice things to flatter others. Maybe Jian Zui or Zhao Hu will let them go. If she sleeps with him, she will agree.
"By the way, we are now dependent on each other. If we are lucky enough to come back alive, you must keep it a secret for us. Don't tell anyone about the tomb robbery."
"Don't worry, brother, I'm not a villain who repays kindness with revenge. I will definitely... ah... sneeze."
Maybe it was too cold. The short-haired girl sneezed before she could finish her words. Then she hugged him with her arms and trembled slightly: "It's so cold, brother. Let's find a place to sleep first."
I wasn't too cold yet, so I took off my coat and gave it to her, letting her put it on first.
After we were done, we went to find a shelter.
In fact, it is not difficult to find a shelter. Mainly because when we were looking for people again in the afternoon, I passed by a place suitable for a shelter. There were many rocks in that place, and there were some weeds and dead branches nearby.
I can make a simple shelter out of rocks and then light weeds and dead branches to keep warm.
Speaking of which, I am quite lucky. There is a lighter in my satchel, which can be used to light a fire at night. Without this thing, life or death would really be unpredictable at night.
After arriving at the location, I picked up a lot of stones and placed a rectangular trough-shaped shelter on the ground. Because the stones were relatively short, they could not be placed on top as beams or covers, so our shelter was open-air. Without a roof, it looks like a small chicken coop or pigsty.
In fact, you can also find some dead branches that can be put on the roof, but the number of dead branches is limited, which is not enough to make a fire. Moreover, these things are not strong enough. In addition, the wind blows from time to time at night, and the dead branches will blow when they blow. It fell off, so this method won't work.
In the end I had to give up the idea of building a roof.
After the shelter was almost completed, I piled as much sand as possible around the outside to block the gaps.
Then the two of us dug a long small pit inside the shelter, put dead branches and weeds in it and lit it. After the dead branches burned into red charcoal, we covered it with sand and spread some on top. Weeds, then I went inside with the short-haired girl and lay down.
The shelter was small, just big enough for the two of us. At first, the temperature hadn't dropped too much, so I thought it was fine. But when I was about to fall asleep, I woke up from the cold.
Although the bottom of the body is hot, the top is cool. This feeling of half hot and half cold is too uncomfortable.
The short-haired girl was also very cold and sneezed non-stop.
"Brother, are you asleep?"
At this moment, she suddenly asked in a low voice.
I said I was confused for a while and now I'm awake.
"I'm so cold. What should I do if I can't sleep?"
To be honest, I really wanted to tell her at this time, otherwise I should sleep with her in my arms. The two of them could hug each other for warmth, but I also felt that it was not appropriate for me to take the initiative to say this. People might think that I was taking the opportunity to think. Taking advantage or something.
So I can only say: "There's nothing I can do. I can only make do with sleep. If I don't sleep, I won't have energy tomorrow, and the hope of survival will be even smaller."
"But I can't sleep."
As she said that, she leaned closer to me, and then asked me: "Can I sleep in your arms? It's too cold."
