The stars in the sky could not cover the brilliance of the crescent, the fire in the tent was unable to dissipate the cold at night, and the lights attracted mosquitoes to search for more than ten miles here. When they encountered the incense, a few Avoiding far away, others just fell headlong.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who were well fed and rested for two more hours, opened their eyes almost at the same time, packed their backpacks, and walked towards their destination again by the light of the stars and moon outside.
The guards guarding in the camp hurriedly came to stop.
"Master Zhang, I don't know where you two are going? It's late, but there aren't so many people around to protect you."
"Hurry up, don't need others to protect it, and it will be cooler at night." Zhang Xiaobao replied, and went on walking with Wang Juan.
The guard was taken aback, and stopped the two again, while talking gossip, while sending someone to inform Xiaohouye.
Li Xun was dreaming of eating ants. He was yelled and asked with his dim eyes. When he heard that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going out again, he shook his head vigorously, put on a piece of clothing and rushed out.
"Zhang Xiaobao, what do you two want to do without sleeping at night?" Li Xun asked yawning outside the tent where Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were sleeping.
"Hurry up, take advantage of the darkness and not so hot, take more roads, wait until dawn, and then rest. It’s a special place in the desert. If you don’t set off at this time, walking during the day will be exhausting. You can only survive in the wild. Does it survive during the day and sleep at night? When you get up tomorrow morning, someone will bring us food, Li Gongzi should go back to sleep."
Zhang Xiaobao explained that he and Wang Juan did it deliberately this time. They just wanted to break Li Xun's original idea and live in the wild to achieve their goals. What does it have to do with day and night
"Yes, but... Wait, I'll follow, come here, get my backpack." Li Xun wanted to say something rebuttal, but found that he couldn't say it. Zhang Xiaobao was right, who said Can you hurry only during the day? When the army is marching, no matter what the critical moment is, otherwise there will be no night attacks.
Forced to resist sleepiness, he had to prepare someone to follow Zhang Xiaobao and the two of them. If he wanted to know more about the survival of the wild, he could only learn from them. There has been no news from Li Cheng until now, and he doesn’t know He Gao. What did people say.
Li Xun’s people are quick to do things. The things Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan used during the day were ready when it was dark, packed in their backpacks, and handed them to Li Xun.
At this moment, Li Xun changed his clothes and said to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan: "Okay, let's go."
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan couldn't refuse him, nodded, took out the small lantern from their backpacks, installed the lighted candle, and headed in front.
"Quickly, bring me a lantern." When Li Xun saw that someone had a lantern, it was the kind that could be folded and stored, so he hurriedly asked the person next to him to ask for a lantern, but it couldn't be folded.
Walking in the desert at night is indeed different from during the day. I can’t see farther ahead, so I can only stare at the front, which makes people consume a lot less energy. In addition, the temperature in the desert at night is low and people are energetic.
"You two didn't tell me earlier. I'm still sleepy. I understand. It turns out that I have to drive in the desert at night. Yes, it is so hot during the day and people will be sunburned. When there is not enough water, it is naturally hot. Bury it to sleep when it’s cold, and hurry when it’s cold.
Now I remembered that in the desert at night, you need to light a lantern to make people less scared and to be warmer. When I go back, I will have someone make a lantern. Isn’t that true? "
Li Xun was still sleepy, but he got rid of sleepiness as soon as the cold wind blew, and summed it up as he walked behind Zhang Xiaobao and the other two.
Zhang Xiaobao wiped out his lantern, and Wang Juan did the same. Then he said to Li Xun: "Who said that lanterns should be lighted at night? If it was a sneak attack, wouldn't you tell the enemy where you are? Our lanterns are afraid Others can't find what we prepared, and it was lit just now to illuminate you."
"Yeah, which soldier can still light the lantern and drive on the road at night? If someone finds it, then I will destroy it too." As he said, Li Xun pinched out his lantern, and the surroundings became dark immediately. The three of them continued to move forward, unable to see the path clearly, and could only follow one step at a time mechanically, saving a lot of energy.
When Li Xun came out, there would naturally be many people behind the three of them. At the beginning, they lighted the torch, and saw that Master Xiaohou had put out the lantern, and put the torch into the sand one by one, and drove in the dark. Fortunately, There was still the moon shining, and three people could be vaguely seen.
"Yes, sprinkle these powder on your body." Zhang Xiaobao walked, stopped suddenly, took out a paper bag from his backpack, and handed it to Li Xun.
"What is it for?" Li Xun asked suspiciously after taking the item.
"It drives away snakes and insects. The real desert is not like here. Anything can happen at night. Even if a lot of people clean up here, there may be dangerous things coming out at night. This is a medicine prepared by some hunters. It's not bad. use."
"Oh, okay, let's sprinkle it." Li Xun opened the paper bag and sprinkled the powder inside on his body without any doubt, and finally left a little bit, deliberately asking loudly: "This thing can really prevent the desert. Snakes and insects in?"
No one answered his question, and he didn’t care. After the question, he wrapped the rest in paper and threw the extinguished lantern on the ground. As the three people passed by, the people behind carefully wrapped the paper. He picked it up and put it in his arms, turned and left.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were still walking with their heads down. Li Xun followed behind and was more energetic at this time. They felt boring just walking like this, so they began to inquire again.
"Zhang Xiaobao, you said that you can really meet other things at night, such as snakes, etc., are they caught and there will be food tomorrow at noon?"
"I don't have the ability. I don't know who will eat whom, Li Gongzi, let's go on the road. From now to tomorrow, I can't eat anything. Save a little energy."
Zhang Xiaobao was really annoying, Li Xun asked everything, still wanting to catch snakes in the desert? If it was only him and Wang Juan, he would really dare to try, plus an emperor nephew and the people behind him, he didn't want to expose his ability to catch snakes. Such an older kid would be suspicious of catching snakes.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore, eh, I won't ask anymore." Li Xun asked others at this time, but he was not angry. He agreed, and he didn't ask any more.
…
In the camp, the news of the three people leaving soon spread. Those adults who accompanied the children heard that Li Xun and Zhangjiazhuangzi’s two people went out to continue driving at night. The children wake up and ask them to learn to hurry.
This is not just that they thought of being cool at night, but more importantly, they climbed up to Li Xun, a person with no low status.
A group of children got up reluctantly at the urging of their family members, and walked behind in a daze. An uncle of Han Yongyao followed him, and also woke him up. At the beginning, he said that he didn’t want to go out and was blessed. He was almost exhausted during the day, but when he heard Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan go there, a clever one was not sleepy.
"I'll go, I don't believe I can't catch up with them when it's cold." Han Yongyao gritted his teeth and said, he was still thinking about the shame of the day before yesterday. It was yesterday, and it was not midnight. He didn't dare to avenge his nephew. , But they hated Zhang Xiaobao.
During the day, he always wanted to make things worse, but he couldn't find the opportunity. He was fat, and his body became weak when the weather was hot. He was fattened by him, not by training. How could he have suffered this kind of sin.
He shouted that he was going to fight because he was not afraid of the heat at night. He wanted to catch up with Zhang Xiaobao and scare them, or slap them twice to let them know how powerful they were.
If this kind of thing were put on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they wouldn't do it at all, but for Han Yongyao, a ten-year-old child, it was the best way.
The children didn't understand the adults, and they cursed secretly as they rushed.
The three of Zhang Xiaobao didn't go fast, and the people who followed did not take an hour to catch up.
"They came out too? Okay." Li Xun saw the people behind him and said happily. He didn't know how to explain to others why he broke the rules he had set before. Everyone came this time. , Save trouble.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don't care if others come or not. Their purpose is to get Li Xun into the circle, so that he can put more energy on this kind of thing, and don't always think about the idea of hitting Zhang Wang's two villagers.
Han Yongyao hurried up at this time. He thought he could feel better at night, but he didn't expect to catch up here, but he was still tired enough. Seeing a bunch of people calling together, he felt that an opportunity had come.
At this moment, only Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were left in his eyes. They ran two steps vigorously and came behind them. He smiled and said: "Zhang Xiaobao, and you Wang Juan, are you afraid of me?"
Li Xun was stunned for a moment. He didn't know who was speaking. When they were trying to see clearly, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't pay attention to this person. They continued to move forward. This person chased him for two more steps, leaving Li Xun silent for a while. See clearly.
"Zhang Xiaobao, stand still for me. I think you want to be beaten." Han Yongyao caught up with him, and as soon as he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the heads of two people.
Without waiting for Li Xun to stop, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan suddenly got short, squatting down and sweeping back at the same time. With a "poof", Han Yongyao climbed onto the sand, and their entire faces were pressed to the ground.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan acted as if nothing had happened, and at the same time stepped on Han Yongyao's hand with their feet. After Han Yongyao let out a muffled grunt, they continued to walk forward.
Li Xun took two steps. "Who is this person? Is it one of the children?"
"I don't know, leave him alone, this person is not careful, sand, not as slippery as usual, wearing leather boots." Zhang Xiaobao dropped a sentence and accelerated.
