Touch a corpse to fall in love

The karst cave they came out of, except for the mouth of the exit part, which is raised on the Gobi, and the rest of the cave is all the way down, which is actually underground.In this way, the large-scale karst caves they passed through were quietly hidden under the cover of this piece of Gobi.

If they hadn't just come out of there, it would be hard to imagine such a magical existence in the desolate Gobi desert.

This was also the part that surprised Cheng Xiao.

If he guessed correctly, the place they are now should be a plateau.Following the direction of the wind, they should be able to walk to the desert or the foothills.

Cheng Xiao turned around again, and he found that this place was unlikely to be a mountain.It can only be said that it is a fault left after the crustal movement, and after tens of millions of years of weathering and erosion, it has become an independent plateau zone.

That is to say, if they continue to move forward, they may come to a cliff, or a desert, or an underground river bed, but they will never come to a rolling, majestic and spectacular mountain range.

Because there are no rolling foothills here, only endless bare rock and faults.

Cheng Xiao sighed, the only source of water behind him was entrenched with countless poisonous snakes and giant pythons, while the road in front of him was difficult and difficult, with unpredictable dangers.

Maybe the sorceress in their village is right, he has been unlucky for the past two years, and there has been a catastrophe.

Walking in the direction of the strong wind with Ah Shu, they didn't stop until they were about ten miles away from the karst cave.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Cheng Xiao's feet started to hurt slightly.

Ah Shu found some dead grass and shrub branches with finger lengths in the crevices of the nearby rocks, and it took a long time to collect them to start a fire.

Cheng Xiao also followed suit, and finally found two fairly long shrub branches (actually only over a foot long), which could at least skewer the snake meat and roast it.

Watching A Shu pull out the bodies of the three snakes from the snake skin without hindrance, Cheng Xiao discovered that the snake's internal organs and snake skin had been cleaned by A Shu long ago, but after cleaning, he He even put the snake skin back on again, which is really amazing.

After the snake meat was grilled, Cheng Xiao ate the snake meat under the watchful eyes of A Shu. Although it was still swollen, the taste was really delicious.It actually made him feel unsatisfied.

Ah Shu let Cheng Xiao eat one of the snake meat, and put the other two in his backpack after roasting.

Cheng Xiao wondered, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Ah Shu shook his head: "No need." After a pause, Ah Shu said again, "Before leaving the desert, young master must maintain his physical strength and energy at all times, and must not relax."

Cheng Xiao looked at A Shu, saw that although his expression remained unchanged, but his facial features were much colder and seemed serious, so he asked, "A Shu, did you remember something?"

Not to mention that Ah Shu is an ancient corpse that has been sleeping for thousands of years, even if he is not an ancient corpse for thousands of years, for example, a student of history and archeology like Cheng Xiao, who has learned wilderness survival skills, does not necessarily know more or understand better than Ah Shu. More wilderness survival skills.This can't help but make people wonder, did Ah Shu have had the same or similar experience before, that's why he prepared everything so calmly and cautiously at this time?

At this moment, Cheng Xiao felt an unprecedented desire to find out the past of the zombie in front of him.

It was a wonderful feeling, impatient, longing, wanting to know someone's past.And at this moment, all the chaotic thoughts in my mind disappeared, only that one thought beat me, and even the exhaustion from the trek just now disappeared.

As soon as Ah Shu saw Cheng Xiao's eyes, he knew what he was thinking, just paused for a moment, and said, "No."

The short two words made Cheng Xiao feel depressed for a while, and then cheered up and said with a dry smile: "Then how do you... uh, understand these?"

Ah Shu put the withered grass on the side of the fire, and was silent for a long time before replying: "Instinct."

Cheng Xiao was taken aback, instinct?

It has to be said that these two words dealt a big blow to Cheng Xiao.A zombie who has been sleeping for thousands of years, but his instincts are so strong and powerful, it really makes him, a high-achieving university student who was born in the 21st century and has been constantly exposed to high technology, feel ashamed.

Perhaps China's education can only be read in books.Cheng Xiao thought to himself, and sighed at the same time.

Night fell quickly.

Ah Shu took out two pale yellow semi-crystalline stones from nowhere, crushed them and scattered them around, enclosing the two of them with the fire.

Cheng Xiao walked over to ponder for a while, picked up a little bit and smelled it, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is limestone and sulfur stone, right? Where did you get it?" There are a lot of limestone in the cave, and you can find it if you look carefully. I found some, but this sulfur stone is usually only found in volcanic areas. Where did Ah Shu get it?

Ah Shu's subordinates didn't stop moving, and said in a deep voice, "I collected it casually when I was in the cave."

Cheng Xiao suddenly became interested: "You must have been outside a lot before, otherwise you wouldn't know that this thing can repel insects."

Ah Shu nodded lightly: "That hole is very unusual, not to mention the complicated terrain, it has everything, it's the only thing I've ever seen in my life."

Cheng Xiao felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, I can't see it."

Ah Shu looked back at Cheng Xiao, paused for a while before saying, "Young Master, it's better not to see it."

Cheng Xiao grinned, with obvious embarrassment: "I'll go and make it easier." After speaking, he immediately got up and went to the back of a nearby wind erosion pillar ② for convenience.

"Depend on!"

In the shadow of the flickering flames, halfway through the release, a hand suddenly touched from behind, almost scaring Cheng Xiao so much that he lost his soul, and immediately burst out with foul language.

But Ah Shu looked down at Cheng Xiaoshang's "little brother" outside without blinking, and said, "Don't waste it."

Cheng Xiao's body froze, his face seemed to be scorched by fire, and immediately he was burning hot: "What do you mean?" Before the words landed, Cheng Xiao hurriedly pulled the zipper. Clamp yourself to tears.

Seeing him like this, Ah Shu grasped his wrist with a "swipe", and rubbed his long fingers against the place where he was pinched intentionally or unintentionally, causing Cheng Xiao to tremble, and then said: "It's not interesting. Throat moved slightly, Ah Shu stretched out the snake skin held in the other hand and said, "Use in here."

"Ahem..." Hearing Ashu's words with a suffocated breath, Cheng Xiao almost choked to death with his own mouthful of saliva.

"There will always be times when it will be useful." A Shu explained, but his eyes were looking at Cheng Xiao's lower body that was trembling from coughing, and he wanted to lean over and touch it immediately.

"Don't, don't, buddy." Cheng Xiao took two steps back, almost tripped, and hurriedly grabbed his pants and said, "Give me the snake skin, I'll do it myself."

A Shu paused, then glanced at the place Cheng Xiao was covering with his eyes, nodded after a long time, walked over and handed the snake skin to Cheng Xiao, "Don't get too close to the cracks in the rocks, there may be poisonous insects inside."

Cheng Xiao nodded, grabbed the snake skin, turned around and said, "I see. You can go back."

It wasn't until he realized that Ashu was going far away that Cheng Xiao let out a breath, and after a long time of deliberation, he finally solved the remaining half...

Grinning, he walked back carrying the snakeskin full of urine, Cheng Xiao tied a knot, put it on a rock beside the fire and said, "I hope it can really do something."

Ah Shu gave a noncommittal hum, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Young master, go to sleep."

Cheng Xiao subconsciously looked at Ashu, who was facing him, and saw his eyes looking at the flames on the ground, his facial features were reflected a little unreal, but he looked even more handsome.

Cheng Xiao smiled awkwardly: "I'm not sleepy."

Ah Shu looked up at Cheng Xiao, paused for a moment, then suddenly got up and walked towards Cheng Xiao.

Sitting down beside Cheng Xiao, Ah Shu separated his bent legs, patted the middle and said, "Come here."

Cheng Xiao shrank his neck, and said a little nervously: "Why?" He couldn't see that he was too cold to sleep, could he?

As expected by Cheng Xiao's guess, Ah Shu didn't continue to say anything, but just grabbed Cheng Xiao's arm, and he didn't know how to use the force, and suddenly pulled Cheng Xiao from the rock next to him into his arms. And sat between his legs.

Cheng Xiao froze completely, almost subconsciously jumping up.

Ah Shu pressed his shoulder with one hand, and groped for the backpack next to him with the other, then stared at his eyes and said, "Take a good rest and maintain your strength."

that's all?There was a trace of suspicion in Cheng Xiao's eyes, until he saw that Ah Shu's expression didn't look like he was joking, then he turned his eyes away with a little embarrassment and said, "That's it...but I seem to..."

Before he could say the words "no need", Ah Shu stretched out his long arms and embraced him in his arms.At the same time, with a strong arm, he picked up Cheng Xiao a little, and put the backpack that had been cleaned aside under Cheng Xiao's buttocks, and then said: "Okay."

For a moment, Cheng Xiao was so dry that blood dripped from his face: "...Thank you." If the other party simply wanted to help him, it seemed that he should say thank you in this case.Although it was embarrassing for him to be treated as a weak person, he had to admit that what Ah Shu did at this time was correct and wise, which he could not refuse or refute.

Originally, he had planned that he would never fall asleep in the arms of this zombie, but in less than ten minutes, Cheng Xiao had already fallen asleep deeply.

Since meeting that red-faced uncle three days ago, things happened to Cheng Xiao one after another, and even he felt subconscious nervousness and fear in his heart, so he fell asleep quickly and woke up quickly.

It's just that this time he slept very soundly, and he couldn't explain why, but he felt that this embrace was very solid and warm, not at all like the embrace of a zombie, it was so comfortable that people didn't want to let go.

When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and Cheng Xiao was no longer in Ah Shu's arms, but on his back.

Cheng Xiao was embarrassed for a while, and whispered in Ah Shu's ear: "I'm sorry..."

Ah Shu said without turning his head: "As long as the young master can rest well."

"I can go by myself..."

"Master, you need to conserve your strength."

After hearing this, Cheng Xiao became even more embarrassed and uneasy: "...Ah Shu, who is the young master you are talking about? It is worth you to treat him like this." I was just a stand-in and received such meticulous and devoted care from him, If the real son is here, this zombie still has to give him his heart?

Ah Shu continued walking without stopping: "Young master is a young master, and there is only one young master, and that is you."

Cheng Xiao felt depressed for a while, and silently closed his mouth.

Until it was almost noon, the scorching hot weather, plus the stamina and water that had not been replenished, even Ah Shu, who was a zombie, slowly slowed down.

Cheng Xiao carried a backpack on his back to block the sun above him. Although he was a little dehydrated at this time, it was not serious.

In order to let Ah Shu take a rest, Cheng Xiao pointed to a relatively large wind erosion pillar in front of him, licked his dry lips and said, "Take a rest, and I can walk by myself."

Ah Shu looked at the wind erosion pillar, and moved his footsteps there, not paying special attention to Cheng Xiao's last words.

The shadow of the wind erosion pillar is probably the direction of true north. Cheng Xiao stood behind the pillar with his hands on his forehead, looked at the horizon for a while, and found that there seemed to be an endless Gobi: "I don't know if I can get out of this area within three days. Gobi."

Looking back at Ah Shu again, Cheng Xiao saw that he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and resting his mind intently.

Cheng Xiao knew that Ah Shu was very tired, it could be seen from his complexion, after all dry lips and slightly pale complexion could not deceive anyone.But he really doesn't understand the zombie's body. I don't know if it is possible to restore his physical strength and spirit according to the rest and supplement methods of human beings?

Taking out the water bottle from the backpack, Cheng Xiao sat next to Ah Shu and handed it to him, "Have a drink."

Ah Shu opened his eyes, looked at Cheng Xiao and shook his head: "No need."

Cheng Xiao felt that it was necessary to persuade him again: "I know you are very powerful, but if you don't eat, drink, sleep, and sleep like this, you still have to bring me such a drag bottle. I guess you will collapse if I don't collapse. You deserve it." Sacrifice yourself for a useless guy like me?"

Ah Shu interjected, "Young master is not a fool." He knew the meaning of the word, and although he had only been in contact with the 21st century for a short time, his ability to collect information was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.From the moment others dug him out, he was already gradually mastering the language and knowledge of this new world.This is also the reason why he can communicate with Cheng Xiao without any obstacles at this time.

Cheng Xiao suddenly felt a little bored, turned around and put the water bottle back into his backpack, sat a little distance away from Ah Shu and said, "When you have a good rest, we will go on our way together."

Ah Shu didn't answer, but just lowered his head slightly.

The author has something to say: Note ①:

一里地是500米。如果按人类成年人的步伐来算，保持均速之下，500米需要4-8分钟的时间。那么十里地就是40-80分钟的时间。

Note②:

Wind erosion column: After being eroded by wind and sand for a long time, some isolated columnar rocks are formed, called wind erosion column.
