Although He Qingqing was helpless and even afraid of Qiao Liang's previous experience, strong indignation welled up in her heart.
During these days of contact with Qiao Liang, He Qingqing clearly felt that Qiao Liang was a diligent, dedicated and enterprising leader. He knew that he really wanted to make a difference during his tenure in Liangbei, but now he was faced with the problem of Shang Ke
This big mountain, as long as Shang Ke does not relax its suppression and suppression of him, he is destined to achieve nothing during his two years of temporary employment.
This made He Qingqing feel sorry and sympathetic for Qiao Liang. Out of gratitude and guilt for Qiao Liang, she subconsciously wanted to do something to help Qiao Liang, but she felt that with her own ability and identity, she really couldn't help Qiao Liang.
Especially thinking of Shang Ke's profound background and his arrogance in Liangbei, as well as Shang Ke's threats and warnings to herself, He Qingqing shuddered in her heart.
In this way, in this mentality, He Qingqing's heart is tangled and contradictory.
At this moment, the car suddenly stopped slowly and the engine made no sound.
"What's going on?" He Qingqing came back from her thoughts and looked at Qiao Liang.
"Oops, for some reason, the car suddenly stalled." Qiao Liang frowned.
"Ah?" He Qingqing was surprised. The car assigned to Qiao Liang had been in an accident and had broken down before. What He Qingqing was most worried about actually appeared in this situation.
Qiao Liang continued to start the fire, but failed.
"Is there still gas in the car?" He Qingqing asked cautiously.
"Yes, there is enough oil." Qiao Liang then opened the car door and got out, opened the hood and fiddled with it for a while, then returned to the car and started the engine, but it still didn't work.
"Isn't it because the battery is out of power?" He Qingqing asked.
"Yes, the car lights are still on." Qiao Liang pointed forward.
"Then, what's going on?" He Qingqing became a little nervous.
"Yeah, what the hell is going on?" Qiao Liang is an amateur at tinkering with cars and is at a loss at this moment.
He Qingqing opened her cell phone, looked at it, and murmured: "There is still no signal on the cell phone, and there is no way to call for rescue..."
Qiao Liang pondered for a moment: "It seems we have to wait here until dawn and a car passes by."
"You mean, we're going to spend the night here?" He Qingqing suddenly shuddered.
"Yes, what? Are you worried about me?" Qiao Liang looked at He Qingqing.
He Qingqing shook his head: "County Magistrate Qiao is overthinking. Didn't Magistrate Qiao feel that the temperature outside was already very low when he got off the car just now? In this uninhabited land, the temperature difference between day and night is very large. In this season,
In the middle of the night, the temperature can drop to below zero, and there is nothing in our car to keep out the cold. If we just stay in the car like this, we will freeze in the middle of the night..."
Hearing what He Qingqing said, Qiao Liang thought that she had indeed felt very cold outside the car just now. Damn it, if it got below zero in the middle of the night, she and He Qingqing would still be frozen like human sticks.
Qiao Liang had no experience staying overnight in the wilds of the Northwest Gobi. He looked at He Qingqing blankly: "Director He, what do you think we should do now?"
He Qingqing looked at the boundless darkness outside the car, pondered for a moment and said: "County Magistrate Qiao, the only way now is to light a fire to keep warm and wait for rescue until dawn."
Qiao Liang's eyes lit up. There were many dry shrub branches in the Gobi Desert, which could be collected to make fire.
"Okay, let's do it. I'll get something to make a fire." Qiao Liang then opened the car door and got out of the car. He Qingqing also got out of the car, "I'll get it with you."
The two of them started picking up dead branches from the Gobi desert nearby under the light of their car lights. Soon each of them brought back a bundle and placed it near the car.
Qiao Liang saw that there was a dead tree that had fallen on the ground in the distance. He went over and broke some thicker sticks and brought them back. This one was resistant to burning.
Then Qiao Liang set up firewood not far from the car, found a few newspapers from the car, took out a lighter and lit it, igniting the firewood.
After a while, a bonfire was lit on the desolate Gobi Desert.
"Very good, a bonfire party for two." Qiao Liang clapped her hands and said with a smile.
He Qingqing also laughed, and then took out dry food and drinks from the car: "County Magistrate Qiao, let's have a dinner by the campfire."
Qiao Liang felt hungry at this time, so he and He Qingqing sat by the campfire and started eating and drinking.
After eating and drinking, Qiao Liang checked the time, it was 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.
Qiao Liang looked up at the night sky. The stars were twinkling, and the late night on the Gobi Desert seemed particularly desolate and deserted.
Qiao Liang looked at the firewood next to him and felt that it was not big enough. He went to pick up some nearby, then turned off the car lights and sat by the bonfire with He Qingqing.
At this time, Qiao Liang obviously felt that the temperature was already very low. Compared with the daytime, there was a temperature difference of dozens of degrees.
There was silence all around, except for the crackling sound of burning branches.
Suddenly, in the distant darkness, a long howling sound was faintly heard.
"Wolf... wolf howling..." He Qingqing's voice was trembling.
"Well, yes, the wolf howls." Hearing this sound, Qiao Liang's scalp felt a little numb, but he still nodded calmly, "It's okay, we have fire. The wolf is afraid of fire and won't dare to come."
He Qingqing nodded, but looking at the darkness around him, he was still a little scared. He couldn't help but move to Qiao Liang, and leaned against Qiao Liang's body for a while.
Feeling He Qingqing's body, Qiao Liang added firewood to the fire and said, "Director He, you don't have to worry about anything with me here. If you are sleepy, you can lean on my body and sleep for a while."
He Qingqing said nothing.
Qiao Liang turned to look at He Qingqing and smiled: "Lean on my shoulder."
He Qingqing looked at Qiao Liang with big eyes, pursed her lips slightly, and then rested her head on Qiao Liang's shoulder.
Qiao Liang lit a cigarette and smoked it, looking past the flames of the bonfire into the dark distance. In the distance, intermittent howls of wolves could be heard from time to time.
Spending the night on this desolate Gobi Desert, surrounded by beautiful women, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel fresh and exciting.
For a long time, he felt that there was no movement from He Qingqing beside him. Qiao Liang thought she was asleep and turned around to look.
Seeing this, Qiao Liang couldn't help but be startled. He Qingqing was not sleeping and was looking at her with wide eyes.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Qiao Liang said.
"I'm watching you smoke." He Qingqing said softly.
"The way I smoke..." Qiao Liang smiled, "What's wrong with the way I smoke?"
"It's very tasty." He Qingqing continued softly.
Qiao Liang's heart moved: "What does it smell like?"
He Qingqing breathed out softly: "The smell of a man."
Qiao Liang's heart moved again: "Do you think I'm masculine?"
He Qingqing was silent for a moment: "This is what it is like at the moment."
"What happens after this moment?" Qiao Liang said.
He Qingqing was silent for a moment, and said quietly: "If this is the case at this moment, why do you ask like this?"
Qiao Liang frowned slightly and looked down at He Qingqing.
Facing Qiao Liang's gaze, for some reason, He Qingqing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated and a blush appeared on her face.
Seeing the charming look on He Qingqing's face, Qiao Liang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. There was an impulse in his heart, and he subconsciously raised his arms to hug He Qingqing's body.
He Qingqing's body trembled slightly, her heart beat faster, and a thought suddenly came to her mind. At this moment, if this man did anything to her, she might not refuse.
He Qingqing boldly looked back at Qiao Liang and bit her lip subconsciously.
Qiao Liang felt He Qingqing's tension. In this tension, there seemed to be a kind of acquiescence, and this acquiescence made Qiao Liang feel a kind of connivance at this time.
A man and a woman living together in this remote wilderness far away from the world made Qiao Liang feel very excited, with an inexplicable impulse in the excitement.
Impulsively, Qiao Liang hugged He Qingqing's body tighter and swallowed.
He Qingqing had a premonition of what was about to happen, and her breathing became rapid. She bit her lips tightly, then closed her eyes, nervously waiting for the next step of this man who didn't know where to start...
For a while, Qiao Liang didn't move.
He Qingqing opened her eyes and saw Qiao Liang staring at him blankly, frowning slightly, as if he was admiring something and thinking about something.
He Qingqing couldn't help but feel confused and a little surprised. According to the atmosphere just now, he should be able to take the next step towards himself. Why is he looking like this now?
Under Qiao Liang's gaze, He Qingqing suddenly regained consciousness and couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Seeing He Qingqing's embarrassed look, Qiao Liang immediately let go of He Qingqing. After the brief impulse just now, Qiao Liang's mind was unusually clear. He understood that even if he and He Qingqing were in this environment, even if he had a chance
She probably wouldn't refuse to attack He Qingqing, but she absolutely couldn't do it, not emotionally, not even rationally.
Then Qiao Liang smiled silently at He Qingqing.
He Qingqing also smiled, a little unnaturally.
At this time, He Qingqing decided that Qiao Liang was really a decent person. He could have taken the opportunity to attack her just now, but he did not do so. In this regard, he was more than a hundred times stronger than Shang Ke.
Under this consciousness, He Qingqing's affection for Qiao Liang couldn't help but increase a little bit.
As if he had guessed what He Qingqing was thinking at this time, Qiao Liang couldn't help but feel a little proud. Although he was not Liu Xiahui, he still withstood the test.
Just as Qiao Liang was about to say something, He Qingqing looked past Qiao Liang and looked back. Suddenly her face changed, she screamed "Ah", and then she grabbed Qiao Liang's arm tightly, shaking violently all over.
Qiao Liang was stunned, what happened?
Qiao Liang then turned his head and looked back. Suddenly the hairs all over his body stood up and his scalp became numb. Emma, in the darkness behind her, there were two green and faint bright spots.
Wolf!
Desert wolf!
The wolf is coming!
The wolf is really coming!
Qiao Liang then looked around. When he saw it, he was immediately frightened. Damn, there were many green bright spots swaying in the darkness around him.
There was not just one wolf, but many more. Qiao Liang probably counted the bright spots in the darkness. Damn, there were at least 15 wolves.
It seems that the wolves howling just now must be them calling their companions. I don't know when they silently gathered and surrounded me.
Because Qiao Liang and He Qingqing were sitting not far from the car, the wolves surrounded them in a fan shape. Although they were afraid of the bonfire, they were gradually narrowing the circle while letting out scary low growls.
A large amount of fear welled up in Qiao Liang's heart, and he suddenly remembered the nightmare he had before about being hunted by wolves. Damn it, is this nightmare going to come true?
