Li Cu let go of his hand holding Wang Meng's leg, squatted down, put his hand on his shoulder and shook him vigorously, "Wake up! Wake up!"
Wang Meng opened his eyes in confusion, looked at Li Cu's enlarged version of his face, and said feebly: "Stop... stop shaking."
When Li Cu saw him waking up, he let go of his hand, and Wang Meng just hit the ground. He screamed in pain, rubbed his sore head and stood up.
Li Cu ignored him and went back to the others to call them one by one.
Everyone woke up one after another. Li Cu frowned, as if someone was missing. He glanced around and found that Majila was missing.
Li Cu turned to Wuxie and shouted: "There is one missing person, Marila is missing!"
Wu Xie and Zhang Qiling looked at each other. As they walked over, they heard Lao Mai's grumpy voice, "Where is he? He must have run away."
"We have to go out like this in the desert without a guide. What should we do?" a girl said with a sad face.
"What should I do? Just wait until death."
"Stop arguing," Wuxie interrupted them, "Let's follow the route that Majila said before. No matter what, let's leave here first."
Helpless, they can only hit the road again.
The sun hung in the sky and exerted its own heat without any effort. The group's mouth went dry and their eyes suddenly turned black.
Zhang Qiling walked without stopping all the way, like an emotionless waiting for me walking robot. His eyes were filled with yellow sand. He could only stare at the innocent back to let more colors into his eyes, until this touch of color He also fell straight down, and Zhang Qiling came back to his senses.
Zhang Qiling looked at Wuxie who suddenly fell to the ground and looked around blankly. Here, only he and Li Cu were left standing.
Zhang Qiling looked at Li Cu, frowned and asked, "Why didn't you fall down?"
Li Cu also gave him a confused look and licked his dry lips, "How do I know? Maybe it's because I'm still young and have good physical strength." Speaking of this, Li Cu was a little proud. Among this group of people, only He is young and strong, not as old as the others.
There was a sound of camel bells in the distance, but Zhang Qiling ignored it. He quickly walked up to Li Cu, put his hand on his neck, and squeezed it gently. Li Cu's eyes darkened and he fainted.
The sound of camel bells sounded from far away, and Zhang Qiling also lay down decisively. He heard the sound stop in front of him, the sun in front of him was blocked, and someone squatted in front of him.
Zhang Qiling's chin was gently lifted and he looked around. The man's fingers touched the junction of his face and neck a few times. Feeling the man's thoughts, Zhang Qiling was quite speechless. I know how long I have to watch this man, so I won’t let him go now.
When the man saw Zhang Qiling's face, his eyes flashed with surprise. When he felt that Zhang Qiling was not wearing a human skin mask, the surprise in his eyes turned into fear and suspicion.
He squatted in front of Zhang Qiling for an unknown amount of time. It was so long that Zhang Qiling thought that he could see the whole world. When the man moved, Zhang Qiling was carried onto the camel, and Wuxie was put down by the man. Next to Zhang Qiling.
A dozen camels carrying people walked toward the only home in the desert.
Zhang Qiling's belly was pressed against the back of the camel, which made him almost vomit. He looked sideways at Wu Xie beside him, and saw that Wu Xie's face was not much better. His brows were furrowed and his face was pale. In a coma.
Zhang Qiling jumped off the camel's back and rescued Wuxie from the camel's back. The people walking in front turned around when they heard the noise and saw Zhang Qiling picking up Wuxie and silently following the camel.
Galu's eyes darkened and then he showed a silly smile, and ran up to Zhang Qiling. "It's great that you're awake. Now someone can play with me." Galu put his hands in his hands. They slapped each other together and were very happy. Zhang Qiling held Wuxie in his arms and didn't look at him no matter how much he chirped along the way.

"Get up when you wake up." Zhang Qiling said to Li Cu, who was lying on the bed pretending to be dead.
Li Cu's eyes moved, and he opened them and looked towards Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling was sitting at a square table, holding a teapot in his hand and pouring water into the cup.
Li Cu stood up, staggered to the table, grabbed the cup from Zhang Qiling's hand, and drank heavily.
"Drink slowly." Zhang Qiling saw that he was drinking so quickly, and was afraid that he would choke.
Li Cu stopped drinking water, looked down at him and asked, "Where are we?" Li Cu moved his mouth a few times, as if he was chewing something. He frowned and looked at the balls in the water glass, and then To: "What are these black and round things?"
"We are at a local's house. As for the ball..." Zhang Qiling paused and looked at him maliciously, with a smile on his lips. Li Cu stared at him for a moment, his smile filling his mind. .
"It's sheep dung eggs." Zhang Qiling looked at him and finished his sentence.
Li Cu subconsciously meant that he heard it wrong, but looking at Zhang Qiling's look that didn't look like he was joking, he stiffened his head and slowly lowered his head to look at the few balls still floating in the water glass, and murmured again One sentence, "Sheep dung eggs."
"Yeah" Zhang Qiling nodded.
The next moment, Li Cu couldn't bear it any longer. He spat out the ball in his mouth, held his stomach and retched crazily, "Ugh! Ugh!" At the same time, he stretched out a finger and pointed at Zhang Qiling, with a look in his eyes. Strongly condemned, as if he were some heinous villain.
Zhang Qiling looked at him funny, reached out and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't make a fuss, this is a local method. You have been short of water for too long. You can't drink too much sheep dung and eggs at once." Just be careful if you drink water too quickly."
His comfort had no effect at all. Li Cu suddenly accepted his incompetence, slapped Zhang Qiling's hand away and ran out.
The lights were brightly lit below. Li Cu went down from the second floor. As soon as he reached the first office, he saw a woman standing on the opposite floor, tying her hair.
"Child, what are you looking at?" Lulu asked Li Cu while fiddling with her hair.
Before Li Cu could answer, a male voice came over, "Lulu."
Lulu turned around and responded, then turned and left. After she left, Li Cu went downstairs. He walked to the big table downstairs, looked at the teapot, and saw that there were no damn sheep dung eggs in it. Don't worry. gargled his mouth.
A woman in her forties came from the door, holding a stack of bowls in her hand. She came to the table, looked at Li Cu with a smile and said, "You're awake." Then she put the bowl in her hand on On the table.
Li Cu wiped his mouth, looked at her and asked sheepishly: "Um...you, you rescued us, right?"
The woman chuckled lightly, "It wasn't me, it was my son Garu. He was the one who carried you back."
"Your son?" Li Cu was a little confused.
The woman wiped the water stains in the bowl with the cloth in her hand, "You can see him when you go out in a while. Our place is remote and we don't see many people all year round. When he sees people, he will happily bring them back, no matter what. Alive or dead.”
