Chapter Thirty-Four: Provoking Women

  "If you want it so badly, why don't you just go try?"

  He had just stood up from the sandy ground, wiping his mouth hard, and suddenly a strong 'smelly' smell came rushing towards me.

  I took two steps to the side and said, "Look at this, the sheep's coat is not bad, its butt is quite big, its legs are long enough, the key is that it's well-behaved, even if you hit it, it won't be too fierce. This sheep was chosen by you yourself, I think it's because you look too rough and scared the hell out of it."

  Drinking goat's milk was over in the midst of all the noise, we walked about 5,000 meters or so, started to rest and then continued, this went on for a while.

  It's six o'clock in the desert evening, also the most balanced point of temperature, it can be said that it is the most comfortable time period in the desert.

  The sand is warm and cozy like a heated floor, feeling the slightly cool breeze, and under me is the warmth of the sand, where can you find this kind of feeling?

  We lay there for a while, and the fatigue on our bodies seemed to be blown away.

  Desert, desolate and uninhabited, no industry, agriculture... pollution, no noise, nothing at all, only silence. The stars in the sky are like countless sparkling gems, shining brightly in the night sky, as if within reach.

  "Let's take a break first, we'll continue later. By around 10 o'clock tonight, the temperature will start to drop." I said to the two of them. Just as I was saying this, a loud rumbling sound interrupted me, and Yu Jian furrowed his brow. He hastily forced out a laugh and said: "Damn it, its stomach can't hold on anymore. After shitting in the morning, if nothing is put back in, it will make noise."

  The kid next to him had been laughing like crazy and didn't want to hold it in at all.

  "Control yourself..." My words hadn't finished yet, damn it, my lower abdomen tightened and I let out a strange cry: "I'm done for..."

  I hastily got up, my stomach aching terribly. I jumped to my feet and asked them, "Which of you two has tissues? Give me some to wrap around."

  "Figure it out yourself, use leaves..."

  "Where the hell is there any foliage?"

  Looking at Yu Gang's face, I knew he had tissues on him.

  I kicked him and said fiercely, "Hurry up and bring it over, or I'll drag you through the mud."

  At this time, I won't care about so many things, face is not a problem, solving one's own problems is the most important thing.

  "Damn it." Yu Gang had just pulled out a pack of tissues from his 'pants' pocket and was about to hand them to me, but they were snatched away by someone. I looked at Xiang Er and said with a stifled tone: "You little girl don't learn from bad people, give me the tissues."

  I really want to scold people, I feel like shit is about to explode, if I don't find a place to solve it, damn it, my old man will go up in flames.

  Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue at me, then seriously said to me: "This pack of tissues is for the three of us to share, if you take it all away, where will we find some later? Before we become wild people, I don't want to become a wild person so quickly."

  Listening to this nonsense, my butt tightened up and I almost suffocated, my face turned green like I had eaten shit, and I managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Sister, can you stop teasing me, is it your responsibility to pull up my pants?"

  Now I feel that this 'girl' is so nagging and has no integrity. My neighbor's younger sister is still cute.

  "Wait..." then hastily took out three paper towels from the small package and handed them to me. I grabbed them and sprinted towards the sand dunes in the back.

  I climbed up the hill, walked down a few steps, found a place, dug a hole, and took off my pants.

  It must be the sheep's milk I drank today, it was too nutritious and now my stomach hurts. Normally, whenever I eat something good, all the nutrients end up in the toilet.

  The more I think about it, the more suffocated I feel. I couldn't help but curse: "Damn it..."

  After solving it, I was just about to pull up my pants when suddenly, from the sand, a huge animal stood up.

  At that time, I was so surprised that I couldn't speak, and hurriedly pulled up my pants and walked towards the animal.

  "Mr. Camel? You're lost, aren't you?"

  When I climbed up, I didn't notice that there would be a camel here. The camel was lying on the sand, and its color was almost the same as the sand, so it couldn't be seen clearly.

  The camel glanced at me with its eyes, didn't seem to care about me, then it squatted down, I smiled and quickly climbed onto its back.

  At first, I didn't grasp the technique well and fell off from above, eating a mouthful of sand.

  "Damn it." I cursed as I got up, only to see the camel looking very pleased with itself. It twisted its head to look at me, its eyes seeming to say "You're really stupid".

  I'm not convinced, so I climbed up again. This time I sat very steadily and balanced well. It seemed that the camel had done it on purpose earlier, to get back at me for pulling a fart in its face?

  Then, I rode a very cool and mighty camel to their front, Yu Gang opened his big mouth, and said in surprise: "You went to take a dump, and actually took out a camel?"

  "Get out of here." I happily cursed.

  Can I say that I am extremely lucky?

  This camel has two water bottles hanging on it, and some tools are also brought. I opened it to take a look, inside there were some hiking tools, ropes, knives, a pack of unfinished Fu Rong Wang cigarettes, a notebook that had not been written in, no pens or anything like that, but most surprisingly, there was nothing to eat.

  It seems that the owner of this camel was probably swept away by the storm and didn't know where he went, leaving only the camel behind.

  When encountering a storm, never leave the camel. A camel is like a precious off-road vehicle that can navigate on its own, find water sources, predict storms and save people, all of which an off-road vehicle cannot do.

  Xiaoyu suggested roasting mutton to eat, I took a look at the sheep, and really couldn't bear that strong smell of sheep, without washing with water, the bloody appearance, how could it be eaten.

  However, I was so hungry that it was a bit too much, and I reluctantly agreed.

  "I'll take charge of the fuel first." I didn't want to face a bloody sheep, and I had never actually slaughtered one before.

  Leave the slaughtering of sheep to those two, I'll go collect firewood by myself, anything that can burn will do.

  The desert isn't completely without vegetation, it's just scarce. I've realized that after all these days in the desert, I haven't seen any tall plants, most of them are just small shrubs. Those things don't burn very brightly either. When we were setting up camp before, at night we also found some shrubs that could be burned and piled them into a fire.

  After picking up the shrubs, I went back and they had already killed the sheep and were separating the 'meat'.

  Damn it, I saw them dealing with the sheep's corpse, that big patch of blood made me dizzy. Nor do I know how they handled that sheep, nor do I want to know.

  Just eat next time then.

  I pulled out a cigarette from my pocket, lit it and sat on the sand watching the two of them.

  Then use a small knife to sharpen the wooden stick.

  After half an hour, I whittled the wooden stick in my hand into a very beautiful shape. On their side, all the 'meat' had been completely 'dealt with', leaving only a piece of skin and some bones, internal organs and so on.

  "You light it," Yu Gang shouted.

  After adjusting the fire, use those three wooden sticks to directly 'insert' those mutton pieces and start roasting.

  No chili, no salt, nothing at all, only bloody mutton, and it's definitely not going to be roasted well.

  I remember the year I graduated from high school, we went to the seaside for a barbecue and it was really cool. Nowadays, no matter what you do, there's nothing special about it. Even if you get to eat some mutton, that's already not bad, as long as you're still alive, everything else doesn't matter.

  "The taste is just okay." Yu Gang wolfed down the food, a whole piece of lamb looked black and didn't look appetizing at all. This guy actually said it tasted good, I thought he was definitely complimenting his own barbecue skills.

  "Does it taste good even when it's charred like this?" asked Xian'er with a frown.

  I picked up the one I baked myself, and it didn't look bad either. At least it wasn't as black as Yu Gang's, which made his mouth all black when he ate it.

  Eat your fill and drink enough, then roast all the remaining lamb meat and put it in a bag.

  Another night spent in the desert, so cold that his teeth were chattering nonstop, we huddled by the fire and fell asleep next to the sheep.

  It's cold, but after exhausting myself during the day, my body can't hold on anymore. In the end, I fell deeply into sleep.

  I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly the sheep next to me let out a cry and woke me up. When I opened my eyes, I was startled and my heart was racing. All I saw was the desert where we were sleeping, and from afar, a tremor was approaching. The rumbling sound coming from the surface of the sand was like an earthquake, rolling in from far away.

  There was an earthquake.

  I hastily kicked Yu Gang beside me awake and shouted: "Sleeping like a pig."

  "What's wrong?" Yu Gang opened his eyes in a daze, somewhat annoyed.

  I didn't want to explain that much to him either, I was busy packing my things and preparing to hang them on the camel when I saw a bright moonlight in the sand, where thousands of ancient cavalrymen were rushing towards me with their horses' hooves kicking up clouds of dust, but I didn't feel any discomfort from the dust.

  Yu Gang was already stunned by what he saw in front of him, and stuttered: "H-he...what the heck is that thing?"

  My hands were trembling, and the thought of running away emerged in my heart, but my feet stuck firmly to the sand, not moving at all.

  All I saw was that high-arched war knife raised in front of me, shining brightly under the moonlight, and it's so damn dazzling that it's blinding my eyes.

  A big yellow horse with a black coat came running towards me, and that curved battle knife suddenly swung towards me.

  I was so scared that my legs went soft and I knelt down on the sand, if this goes on any longer, will I still be alive?

  Where did this big soldier come from? In this era, how can such a dress appear?

  Is this for filming?

  The next second, I knew it was not a movie shoot, but real guns and live ammunition.

  Damn it, isn't this teasing me?
