Cheng Luo didn't know Zhou Qiang's thoughts. She leaned on Tianmiao's sleeping bag and fell asleep in a daze.
…
A night has passed.
In the desert, it is coldest when it is almost dawn, and there is an illusion of sleeping in the ice and snow. Que Qiu opened his eyes and pulled out the sleeping bag. He was almost fascinated by the sand leaking from the sleeping bag. He sat up and found that the sky, which should have been gradually brightening, had not changed at all. It was still like the middle of the night. The camels that were together also began to be restless. Que Qiu opened the water bag and took a sip of water. He went outside and swung around for a while, and found that Professor Wu was already up and brushing his teeth on the pony sitting outside.
"Professor Wu." Que Qiu nodded in greeting.
Professor Wu's face looked much better than yesterday, he waved at him, rinsed his mouth and said, "It's hard work, guide."
After a few conversations between the two, the team members came out of the tent one after another. After washing up, they ate some biscuits and were all ready to leave, but everyone asked Que Qiu hesitantly, "Why doesn't it seem like it's still dawn?"
It's already half past seven, and the sky shouldn't be as dark as it is now.
"The black sandstorm is expected to come in two days. It is estimated that we won't be able to reach the target point today. We can only go to the Oasis Ancient City to avoid the black sandstorm first, and then we can walk through Hull Shoal to the Imperial City, and we have to make a big circle."
Zhou Qiang asked anxiously: "Why? It's not that the weather will be worse in a few days, our speed will slow down again, and the supplies will not be enough." Other assistants also protested and asked why they stayed.
Que Qiu still explained lightly: "Because I couldn't get there today, the original plan was to cross the dark road today, where any machine and compass are useless, you can only rely on your eyes to identify the direction, and the black sandstorm obscures the clouds and the sun, as if there is no compass. On the night of the stars and moon, there is no way to tell the direction. When the black sandstorm comes, everyone will die. Now we have to find a shelter first. Moreover, it is precisely because the supplies are not enough that we need to go to the oasis to supply. Did you forget that we have so many Everyone is using Miss Tianmiao's water alone. Do you really think that Miss Tianmiao's water can support all of us to reach our destination?"
At the end of the speech, Que Qiu's tone became somewhat mocking.
Zhou Qiang's face suddenly turned red, indeed, he had forgotten. Tian Miao's generosity, let him, it should be said that it is not only him, let everyone ignore this.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tianmiao, please forgive our selfishness. Our mood is too urgent." Professor Wu apologized to Tianmiao.
"It's okay, I can understand your feelings. However, as the guide said, we really have to go to supply drinking water. Otherwise, we can't support so many of us on the road." Tian Miao waved his hand and said that he didn't mind.
"Thank you for your generosity, Miss Tianmiao. Then, let's listen to the guide's arrangement. Supply water first, and then find a way. Scientific expedition tasks are important, but personal safety should also be the first." Professor Wu made the decision again, all the No one disagrees anymore.
Tian Miao also nodded and said, "Let's go then." Then he turned and went to the camel team. Others followed.
When Tianmiao was there, Que Qiu rode not the leading camel, but the one next to Tianmiao, but Tianmiao still let Que Qiu lead the way. Chief, follow him up.
And Que Qiu knew very well the status of the leading camel in the camel team, and she managed the camel team so easily
Although there are many questions in his heart, Que Qiu never asked. From the first time he saw Tian Miao, he knew that she was not an ordinary person.
