Chapter 233 Treating the disease without disease prevention
"Besides what?" Wu Zheng looked curious and asked the bearded man as he approached.
Who would have thought that the bearded man would spit out two words: "Bloodletting."
Wu Zheng sniffed, as if he heard those two heart-wrenching words, his legs felt a little weak for a moment.
Naturally, Big Beard did not pay attention to Wu Zheng's reaction, and continued: "If we can't hold on any longer, we can kill these horses. Drinking their blood will be enough to get out of the Gobi."
Xiaohua listened and sighed to himself. Speaking of which, he didn't want to waste time and retreat anymore. He didn't like to go back. Therefore, when Big Beard put forward his opinion, he was more supportive.
Moreover, after listening to the bearded man's narration, he felt it made more sense. With that said, he made up his mind and stood up and said: "In that case, let's continue setting off tomorrow."
After saying that, everyone was speechless and fell down to rest after a while.
The Gobi desert was very windy and sandy at night. Coupled with the biting cold, Wu Zheng couldn't sleep. If he had known better, he should have brought more clothes. He never expected that it would get colder the further south he went.
Got up.
Wu Zheng was lying on the ground, his head resting on his arms, and he looked up at the starry sky. The starry sky in the Gobi Desert was brighter than other places, giving people a sense of openness and comfort. Wu Zheng couldn't sleep either.
, just start counting stars.
The glowing light kept flashing in the night sky, and one number after another came out of Wu Zheng's mouth. But at this moment, there was a rustling sound.
At first, Wu Zheng didn't pay much attention, but then, as the sound got louder and louder, he began to feel that something was wrong. Because he clearly felt that the rustling sound was gradually approaching them.
"Little flower." Wu Zheng patted the little flower beside him hard. At this time, the little flower was sleeping soundly. Naturally, he was very unhappy when he was suddenly patted by Wu Zheng.
But he didn't get angry directly. Instead, he put his ear close to the ground and began to listen for some movement. Then, a "not good" came from Xiaohua's mouth.
As Xiaohua's voice spread, Big Beard and Mo Qing woke up immediately. Neither of them had slept deeply, and they were startled by this sudden sound.
However, the two of them were not idlers, and they subconsciously knew what was going on. Then, a bearded voice sounded: "Find a place to take shelter from the wind, a sandstorm is coming."
Among the people, the bearded man was the most experienced. After listening to his words, the four of them became nervous. The first ones to be frightened were the horses. As the saying goes, animals are smarter than people. At this time, it can be seen that
.
The sound of wind sounded and got closer and closer, causing the horses to neigh. They screamed and slapped the ground with their hoofs. If the bearded man hadn't grabbed their reins, he might have stopped at this time.
Where are you running to?
Naturally, Wu Zheng and the other three were not idle either. They were busy picking up whatever they could. Xiaohua took charge of the command and took the lead in rushing forward. As he ran, he shouted loudly: "Go to the edge of the cliff."
Gradually, the sandstorm was approaching. At that moment, the world was completely plunged into darkness. Finally,
Wu Zheng knew that apart from the dark night, the world could be so bleak.
Wu Zheng was holding a pot of water in his arms. His eyes had lost their function, so he simply closed them tightly. Because if he opened his eyes, he would be blinded by the wind and sand. He no longer knew the direction, relying on the feeling under his feet and the sound of his ears.
The sound gradually approached Xiao Hua's position.
He could feel that sand was constantly pouring into his ears, and the same was true for his nostrils. As soon as he took a breath, countless tiny grains of sand would immediately fly into his mouth. As a last resort, Wu Zheng could only bite it with his mouth.
Keep your clothes on so you can feel better and won't spit on him with sand all over him.
Wu Zheng didn't know where the cliff Xiaohua mentioned was. If he could barely see it at night, the sky was full of wind and sand, and he couldn't see anything. Relying on his only impression, he started to
Keep exploring. There is already a pile of sand under your feet. Once you step down, you will sink very deep.
Gradually, Wu Zheng had a bad premonition. Because he began to find that he could not hear Xiaohua's voice clearly. The wind and sand around him were simply too strong. In addition, he might have strayed from the direction, so Xiaohua's voice gradually became louder and louder.
It's not clear anymore.
At this moment, Wu Zheng was a little flustered. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, but his steps slowed down. He began to be unsure whether the direction ahead was the direction Xiaohua said. So in the end, Wu Zheng simply stopped walking.
Start listening carefully to what's going on around you.
He could still hear Xiaohua's voice, but for some reason, the voice seemed to come from all directions.
What should I do? Such a question suddenly popped up in Wu Zheng's mind. It can be said that many of the previous problems were solved by Xiaohua and Luochen. But when Wu Zheng faced difficulties alone, he had another idea.
A deep sense of powerlessness.
Only then did he realize that without Luochen and Xiaohua, he, Wu Zheng, was really nothing. Facing the strong wind and sand, Wu Zheng lowered his head silently.
However, in the next moment, Wu Zheng's closed eyes suddenly opened. He could not give up yet, but he would not give up as long as there was still a glimmer of hope.
So Wu Zheng gritted his teeth and didn't care about the direction. He simply followed Xiao Hua's method and shouted loudly: "Xiao Hua."
Although the voice seemed extremely loud, in fact it was as if it was lost in the wind and sand. He did not wait for a response, so Wu Zheng continued to call. He began to walk forward with determined steps.
go.
Although Wu Zheng didn't know whether his direction was correct, his refusal to admit defeat seemed to move God, and a dark shadow gradually appeared in front of Wu Zheng.
"Wu Zheng." The black figure shouted loudly, and then rushed towards Wu Zheng.
Yes, it was the direction Wu Zheng was facing, and that person happened to be Xiao Hua, whom Wu Zheng had been calling for. Xiao Hua's movements were clean and neat, and she grabbed Wu Zheng's hand and began to drag it forward desperately.
Wu Zheng's heart blossomed with joy. For some reason, he felt a sense of security in his heart after seeing Xiao Hua.
With Xiaohua's guidance, Wu Zheng took bigger steps. After a while, a huge black thing appeared in front of him. Although Wu Zheng couldn't see clearly,
But he knew that it might be the cliff that Xiaohua mentioned.
The biggest difference between the Gobi and the desert is that the terrain is more diverse, not only the eye-catching sand dunes, but also unexpected surprises. For example, this cliff may have been a hill before, and then for some unknown reason
, and finally collapsed.
Ever since, it has become what Wu Zheng and others see now. When Wu Zheng was taken to the cliff, Big Beard and Mo Qing had already arrived. Both of them covered their faces with clothes, so
There are cliffs blocking the way here, and the sand and dust that can fly over will not completely submerge the two of them.
In addition, the four horses were also kneeling on all fours and hiding here. I don’t know how the bearded man got here. I guess he must have spent a lot of effort.
As soon as Xiaohua brought Wu Zheng back, she collapsed to the ground and didn't want to get up. It has to be said that Xiaohua was actually the most tired. Although he didn't take anything, the long shouting was still very tiring.
thing. In addition, he went to look for Wu Zheng again, so it was normal for him to lose strength at this time.
Listening to the sound of wind and sand blowing continuously, Wu Zheng couldn't help but ask: "What should we do now?"
"Wait." Xiaohua's voice was extremely firm.
In fact, there is really no other way but to wait. Although Big Beard has experience, it does not mean that he can go against the will. Therefore, the four people at this time are like eggplants beaten by frost.
In between, he became decadent.
It would be okay if the dust lasts for a short time, and we can barely cope with it. But I am afraid that if the dust blows for ten days and a half, Wu Zheng and others will not only starve to death, but also turn into mummies.
Buried by wind and sand. What would happen if they were dug out by later generations after thousands of years? Wu Zheng shook his head. At this time, they might only be able to place their hope in God.
The four Xiaohua people didn't bring much. Big Beard rescued the horse, and Mo Qing brought his sword and some generals. As for Wu Zheng, he only brought out a pot of water, and everything else was drowned.
In the yellow sand.
The wind and sand were rolling, and several people could not sleep. Because once they fell asleep, sand would blow into their mouths and wake them up. So they were silent, each found a comfortable position, and started
rest.
Finally, the sky began to shine with light. However, the wind and sand still showed no sign of decreasing, which made several people very anxious. When the sun fully rose, the full picture of the wind and sand was finally revealed.
At this time, the surrounding environment had changed drastically, and a feeling that things were different and people were different suddenly appeared for some reason. This is the terror of nature, and human power cannot be violated. It turns out that this is the truth.
As the sun gradually rose, the temperature began to get higher. Although there was a blockage of wind and sand, the feeling of heat still spread.
Wu Zheng was leaning against the cliff, his lips were chapped. He had already begun to think about the pot of water in his arms. However, his movements were all noticed by Xiao Hua, and he never dared to take action.
Xiaohua seemed to know what Wu Zheng was thinking, and would glance over from time to time, and then sneer at the corner of her mouth. The reason why Xiaohua didn't take the kettle back was because she wanted to see how long Wu Zheng could endure it.
