In the cloudless blue sky, a vulture flew across the sky with the sun on its back, making an unpleasant hoarse cry. After circling for a while, it turned and flew northwest.
Gu Lang retracted his arm pointing to the sky, and then smiled at the tablet in his hand and said, "Vultures are relatively common birds in the desert. They have the habit of eating carrion. It seems that some animal died over there, which attracted it to fly over there."
On the tablet computer, rows of comments floated by, but the style was somewhat different from what someone had imagined.
"You are uneducated. What bird is that? It's an eagle!"
"Vultures are only found on plateaus. The fact that you can see them here means there are mountains nearby."
"Gu Lao San, can you please give the camera to Boss Ping?"
"Who wants to listen to your rant? I want to see Ping Ping!"
"Third brother, stop showing off your little inventory and just be a salted fish."
"We are all so familiar with each other, do you have the nerve to pretend to be cool by relying on Baidu?"
“What are you pretending to be?” Gu Laosan suddenly patted the hump in front of him, and said angrily with a long face: “It has wings, can fly, and has feathers, so how can it not be a bird? I said it is a bird!”
The camel under someone was slapped and trembled, almost jumping out. It turned back and glared at him unhappily.
"Alas…"
On another camel walking nearby, Hero Han was looking at someone and shaking his head.
After all, he is the final winner in the desert island survival. As a new star of Douyu Outdoor Channel, the launch of Gu Lang's new program still attracted a lot of people to watch. It's just that the style of a certain salty fish's live broadcast room has always been different from others. Even the new passers-by, under the influence of old fans, have learned to tease a certain salty fish and enjoy it.
At this time, the two were riding camels, walking in the suburbs of southern Yadma, under the shadows of the mountains in the northwest. There was only wasteland under their feet, and they had not yet entered the Bukhari Desert.
But the environment in Saudi Arabia is like this. Once you leave the city, everything is gray. At most, there are a few weeds and cacti on the ground. It is hard to tell which is yellow sand and which is loess. Saudi Arabia even has to import sand from abroad to cover the loess desert where no grass grows.
Because of the occasional sandstorm and the scorching sun overhead, both of them wore headscarves and sun hats.
Tents, water and other supplies were hung on the camel under him. In addition to these, there was also a solar panel hanging on the side of Gu Laosan's side. Taking advantage of the good sun, he charged the equipment while walking.
However, what made Gu Lang feel strange was that Han Daxia did not bring any equipment this time and only appeared occasionally in his live broadcast room.
According to Han, he likes outdoor sports but not live streaming, which is too distracting. So he has been doing it for fun until now and has not signed any company. Besides, he was not originally going to live stream this time, so he simply did not prepare.
If Wang Ping heard this, he would probably think that someone was becoming more and more perfunctory towards Gu Lao San and was too lazy to even do superficial work.
But the badger has no time to care about it right now.
Han Daxia looked at the figure on the back of the little camel that followed closely beside Gu Lang's camel, and asked Gu Lang curiously, "What happened to your boss? He has been sleeping since he came out of Yadma."
"Hmm..."
Gu Lang was looking down at the comments. When he heard what Han said, he replied without even looking up: "Maybe he's suffering from jet lag..."
"jet lag?"
Hero Han rolled his eyes and shook his head: "There's no need for me to ask you!" At the same time, he muttered to himself, all he does is eat and sleep, no wonder he's so fat!
When walking normally, a camel is not very fast, but it is stable and does not slow down like some people.
But even so, after walking for three hours, someone still couldn't stand it anymore. Feeling the pain in his thighs and the numbness in his legs from being curled up on the camel's back, he asked Han Da Xia to stop.
"What's wrong?"
Han Daxia thought Gu Lang wanted to go to the toilet, and was about to ask him to go to a distant place, when he saw someone sitting on the ground, rubbing his thigh and saying, "Let's take a break!"
"What did you say?"
Han Daxia widened his eyes, frowned, pointed at Gu Lang's camel and said, "Brother, it was it that was walking all the way, not you, why don't you take a break!"
"Hey, take a break! I'm tired!"
Gu Laosan didn't care about his feelings. After rubbing his thigh, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and looked at it. He sent a WeChat message to Wang An. While waiting for the reply, he stood up, took off the water bottle hanging on the side of the camel, tilted his head back, took a big sip, and sighed with satisfaction.
Han Daxia turned his head and looked behind him. It had only been three hours since the two of them set out, and they had only walked less than 50 kilometers in total. They hadn't even seen the shadow of the desert yet, and they were afraid that the water they brought with them would be drunk up by this guy.
"Are you that thirsty?"
Helplessly, Han Daxia also got off the camel, walked over and snatched the water bottle from Gu Laosan's hand, hung it back on the camel and said, "We are going to the desert, so we should drink water sparingly! If you are not so thirsty, just bear with it!"
"Oh, don't worry, I have a way!"
Gu Laosan waved his hand nonchalantly and was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze for a moment. Then he shuddered and pointed at a rock not far away and shouted, "What the hell, what is that?"
Han turned around and saw a monitor lizard crawling towards the east on a rock ten meters in front of them. Its gray-brown skin was similar to the rock, and if it didn't move, it would look like a stone at first glance.
"Lizard..."
Han Daxia shrugged and said to Gu Lang, "Haven't you seen it on TV? It's similar to a gecko."
"almost?"
Gu Laosan jumped up as if his toe was stepped on and screamed, "Do you think I'm stupid? Is there a gecko that big? Its tail is thicker than my arm!"
"Well, speaking of tails..."
Han Daxia pinched his chin, looked at the lizard that was about to disappear with an inexplicable expression and said: "I heard that there is a kind of lizard in the Arabian Desert with a very fat tail, which is very delicious when roasted. I don't know if it is this kind..."
"tasty?"
A badger, who had been sleeping soundly on the camel's hump, suddenly sat up and lifted the small curtain in front of him to block the light: "Where is it?"
"Boss, are you awake?"
Seeing a badger rubbing its eyes and crawling out, Gu Laosan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was no longer afraid of the one-meter-long "gecko". He pushed Han Daxia away, ran over and asked attentively: "Are you hungry? I'll give you some beef jerky?"
Han Daxia: …
He opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He shook his head and returned to his camel, raising his hand to take off the water bottle. After being interrupted by Gu Lao San, he also felt thirsty.
After resting for about half an hour, as the sun was about to set, someone was actually leaning on the camel to play with his phone, so Han urged him to hurry up. If he couldn't enter the Bukhari Desert before dark while riding a camel, it would be ridiculous.
Gu Laosan was not in a hurry. Even when he set out, he was not in a hurry. He would explain everything he saw in the live broadcast room. For example, a group of ravens flew over his head, and there was a cactus forest in the distance.
Or he would take out his cell phone from time to time and chat with it, which made Han Daxia look thoughtful.
Even when the camel under him passed by a cluster of small cacti, he would occasionally go over to take a few bites. Not only did he not urge him, but he also took a tablet and took pictures of the camel's mouth with great interest, praising it for its strong teeth and iron beak, and not even minding the prickly feeling.
Every time at this time, the debate about whether to stay or leave that was sparked by one camel chewing a cactus would always end with three camels chewing on it together.
A certain badger had gotten enough sleep, but he didn't want to sleep. He ate some beef jerky and admired the dark complexion of Hero Han.
Especially when Gu Laosan asked him what was so urgent, Han Daxia's depressed expression made the badger want to laugh.
"You little brat, you still want to trick Gu Lao San? You've got yourself into trouble, right?"
However, there was one thing that Wang Ping found very strange. Gu Laosan didn't have the habit of playing with his mobile phone during live broadcasts in the past. But this time, he didn't know what happened. He had to take out his mobile phone and press a few buttons almost every few minutes.
Thinking of a certain possibility, the badger's face suddenly darkened.
Finally, when the last rays of the sun disappeared and the sky began to darken, the green and yellow land in front of me disappeared, and a golden sand dune appeared in the distance.
Gu Laosan suddenly took out his cell phone again, quickly sent a message, and then looked at Han Daxia who was frowning beside him and said nonchalantly: "Let's go camp under that sand dune?"
