“Hah~”
The flames kept swaying, dragging someone's shadow longer and shorter. Gu Lang opened his mouth and yawned hard, frowned and raised his eyelids, took a few deep breaths, trying to dispel the sleepiness that was coming. After just a few breaths, a strong earthy smell was swallowed into his lungs, and he suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Shaking his head and sighing, Gu Lang stood up and stretched, glanced at the hazy shadow of the tent outside the firelight, curled his lips, and cursed a certain badger for being so disloyal.
Last night it was Han Daxia who guarded the first half of the night, so Gu Lang took over the first half of the night tonight.
Originally, a salty fish was expecting a badger to accompany him, after all, this guy sat on a small stool to keep watch with him last night. Although he had to make tea and serve him during the period, it was better than facing the dark night alone and getting bored.
I don't know what happened tonight. Not to mention the moon, I can't even see a star. Except for the circle of sand less than ten meters illuminated by the campfire, the rest is as dark as thick ink that cannot be dissolved. If it weren't for the fact that I was a salty fish, I'm afraid I would have been unable to bear it long ago.
Unfortunately, after dinner, when the night watch time was assigned, a badger blatantly entered Gu Laosan's tent, pulled the door curtain, and went to sleep in his sleeping bag. Gu Laosan was left alone to watch over the campfire, dozing, waking up, yawning, getting up to add firewood, and then sitting down to doze off again, over and over again.
I raised my wrist to check the time, but it wasn't even midnight yet.
"Ah~ The night is long~ I can't sleep~"
Shaking his head and mumbling something, Gu Lang took out his cell phone from his pocket and planned to kill some time playing games. At the same time, he opened his mouth and yawned loudly.
However, when he inhaled the air, he choked, and the yawn turned into a sneeze, which was then exhaled violently.
“A-choo!”
The sneeze made Gu Laosan a little dazed. There was a buzzing sound in his head and he almost threw his cell phone into the fire.
I sniffed subconsciously, and smelled a stronger earthy smell than before. I felt like I had eaten dirt in my mouth, so I quickly spit it out.
Although there is always a fishy smell in the wind when walking in the desert, I have been here for two days after all, so I can still tell which situation is abnormal.
"This feeling..."
Gu Laosan blinked, feeling as if he had felt this before somewhere.
At this time, there was a whoosh sound, and the night wind, which had changed direction at some point, suddenly became stronger, blowing the two tents so hard that they kept shaking. The wind also carried the cries of a few camels lying behind the tents.
Gu Laosan never expected that he had good intentions in tying the camel behind the tent to shelter it from the wind, but at night, the area ended up facing the wind.
After frowning and thinking for a while, someone put his cell phone back into his pocket, turned on the flashlight and walked to the back of the tent. He reached out to touch the iron rod that tied the camel, intending to find another place for these people to shelter from the wind.
At this time, the three camels stood up. Seeing Gu Lang approaching, they stopped and looked at him, moving their feet back and forth.
Instead of untying the reins, Gu Lang shook the iron rod a few times and pulled out the reins. However, before he could pull the camels in another direction, the two camels started running to the west.
"Wozhi!"
Gu Laosan was caught off guard and stumbled when the reins pulled him. He tripped and fell on the luggage behind him. Seeing that his body was still being pulled, he hurriedly grabbed the steel rope used to fix the tent, and with his other hand pulled the reins that were pulled straight by the two camels, and shouted.
“Help!”
"Boss! Lao Han!"
"Wake up!"
The camel had already run a few steps, but because of Gu Lang's pulling, it could not move anymore, so it struggled hard towards the west. After all, it was a huge animal, and when it exerted its strength, it was simply not something that a salted fish could resist. With a slight sound, the steel cable that Gu Lang was holding that was smashed into the ground was pulled out. Gu Lao San was dragged on the ground in an instant, and the steel cable he was holding slipped through his hands until the ground nails at the bottom got stuck in his hands, and he was not dragged away.
"Fuck..."
Feeling the burning pain in his palms, Gu Lang wailed with grimace in his mouth, and at the same time, he held on to the ground nails tightly and dared not let go, for fear that if he let go, he would be dragged to some hellish place by these camels. He kept calling for a certain badger and Han Daxia.
Seeing that the camel had gone crazy and was pulling desperately, the other three cables on the tent were also pulled straight, and the nails in Gu Lang's hand even pierced into his flesh. Someone tried to stand up from the ground and wanted to pull the camel back, but while exerting force, he subconsciously increased the force applied to the other three cables.
With a few muffled "puff" sounds, the other three steel cables were pulled out of the ground one after another. The tent where a badger was sleeping was instantly turned over and was about to be taken away by a salted fish.
At this moment, under the illumination of the flashlight that fell to the ground, a figure rushed out from the darkness, grabbed the edge of the tent before Gu Laosan was about to "fly away", and steadied Gu Lang's staggering steps.
"What... is going on?"
Hero Han's eyes were still a little sleepy, and he didn't even have time to wipe the eye boogers from the corners of his eyes. He asked Gu Lang loudly.
"I don't know. Damn, the camel suddenly went crazy!" Gu Laosan shouted in confusion.
In the tent, Wang Ping, who was sleeping, felt a sudden shaking and woke up in a daze. Before he could get up, the whole tent rolled up, and then the four corners rolled up, wrapping him and his sleeping bag inside.
"What the hell is going on!"
A badger struggled for a long time, crawled out of the sleeping bag, poked out with one claw, directly cut the cloth outside the tent, and drilled out through the hole.
Here, Han Daxia and Gu Lang were playing tug-of-war with two camels, and they had no time to talk. The little camel of a certain badger did not participate, but the reins of the three camels were originally connected together, and now they stood there blankly, drifting with the "reins".
Just as Wang Ping poked a hole in the tent and stuck his head out, a huge sandstorm behind Han Daxia rushed through the camp with sand and submerged the two figures in an instant.
"Wow... c"
Hero Han only had time to utter half a curse word before the huge wind blew him off balance and he fell forward to the ground with sand all over his head and face.
Wang Ping's face was also covered with sand, and he squinted his eyes subconsciously. Before he could struggle, the fallen hero Han hit him on the head and pushed him back into the tent.
As the sandstorm arrived, the little camel stopped watching and followed the two big camels to run westward like crazy. Without the support of Han Daxia, Gu Laosan could no longer hold on and was dragged to the west by the three camels onto the sand.
Gu Lang still held the nail connected to the steel cable tightly in his hand. However, the end of the steel cable was not deep in the yellow sand, and the other side could not be seen at all. The flashlight on the ground was covered by the yellow sand, and the light gradually disappeared.
"Boss... Boss..."
As soon as Gu Laosan opened his mouth, his mouth was filled with sand and he could no longer make any sound.
As the camel ran fast, Gu Lang tried several times but failed to stand up. He was pulled down again before he could even lift his legs. Feeling the force of the steel cable in his hand, Gu Lang was afraid that Han Daxia and the tent would fall behind, so he did not dare to let go easily, for fear of being separated from Han Daxia and the badger.
Faintly, the cry of a badger was heard in the wind.
“Ah~”
