Tomb Raider: The Last of Zagrama
Chapter 50
In the first few days, everyone was in a good mood.
Immersed in the unique beauty of the desert, I couldn't extricate myself.
However, after a few days, each one was visible to the naked eye.
Ye Yixin stopped singing, and Chu Jian and Sa Di Peng were no longer in high spirits.
The monotonous colors and the scorching sun above made it difficult for a group of intellectuals who had never traveled far.
As a few days passed, the small lakes and seas, the small oases, and the jujube trees that could still be seen along the way gradually disappeared, which meant that the group was gradually going deep into the depths of the desert.
At noon that day, a group of people who had been walking for most of the day decided to stop to rest and have something to eat.
Professor Hao took two students, Chu Jian and Sa Di Peng, to set up a tripod on a sand dune not far away and take pictures.
"Professor, wash your hands before eating."
Ye Yixin said, pouring some water from the kettle and washing Professor Chen's hands.
Professor Chen hesitated,"You won't wash it, right?"
Ye Yixin was still persuading,"Let's wash it off."
When Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang saw this scene, they were extremely speechless. How far have they come? They are still so poor and sophisticated. What kind of place do they think they dare to waste fresh water resources?
"Don't waste fresh water resources."
Others are embarrassed to say it, but Zhou He is embarrassed to say it, hey, he is not used to these people's bad habits.
"Brother Zhou, let me wash the professor's hands for a while before eating."
Ye Yixin still put aside that explanation.
"Where do you think this is? Is it okay to waste fresh water resources casually?"Zhou He lectured unceremoniously,"In the desert, every sip of water is precious."
"When you are about to die of thirst, even a drop of water in the kettle can save your life."
"Xiaoye, Xiaozhou is right."
Professor Chen began to smooth things over,"We are in a desert after all, and water is very precious. We should wait until we get to the oasis and have enough fresh water to solve the problem of personal hygiene."
"Okay, professor."
Ye Yixin no longer persisted.
Zhou He didn't say any more, and called Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang. The three of them went to check the supplies on the camels to see if they were tied tightly and how much the supplies had been consumed.
"Lao Zhou, these intellectuals, don't suffer a little, but they still think the desert is so beautiful. Fatty Wang chimed in,"You've been out here for a few days, and you still dare to waste water casually with unrealistic illusions. Do you really think you're out for a trip?""
"They sit in the office all day and never go outside, so they don't know the suffering of the people."
Hu Bayi also sarcastically said
"Old Hu, fat man."
Hearing Zhou He speak, the two of them looked at him, and Zhou He said,"The three of us will divide the work. I will be in charge of the front of the team, Lao Hu, you will be in charge of the middle, and the fat man will be in charge of our batch of Seventeen Peaks loaded with supplies. camel"
"In the event of an emergency, in my absence, one of Lao Hu or Fatty will be responsible for keeping an eye on An Liman, while the other will be responsible for the supplies of the camel team."
"During each break, other than the necessary sleeping mat, drinking water, and food, do not take off any other supplies."
"Unless we find a truly safe place where the camels can lighten their load and rest more. Otherwise, we must be prepared to evacuate the entire team at any time."
After hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang began to look serious.
"you mean…"
"That's right."Zhou He looked at Hu Bayi and said to him,"Although our journey has been peaceful, it does not count as entering the real desert. Although the weather has been good along the way,"
"But no one can guarantee what will happen in the next second"
"Others can mess up, but we three brothers cannot mess up. We must be prepared for the division of labor. Once we encounter an emergency, we will respond according to the division of labor."
"Survival supplies must not be lost. Hu
Ba nodded and said seriously,"Okay, I'll remember it.""He has received desert training in the army and is very clear about Zhou He's considerations and worries.
Although Zhou He entered the desert for the first time, no matter in his past life or this life, he understood the simplest truth.
In the desert, people can You can go seven days without eating, but you can’t go a day without drinking water.
"Don't worry, Lao Zhou. Fatty Wang also patted his chest and promised,"Fat Master, when have I ever let you down? I will definitely handle the things you asked me to do." Seeing this, Zhou
He felt much more relaxed. He gave the two of them a cigarette and the three brothers started smoking.
He said with emotion,"Fortunately, you two are here. Otherwise, if I were the only one, I would have collapsed from exhaustion.""
"This is not for archeology, it's obviously to take care of children"
"Hahaha."
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang laughed. Both brothers understood the resentment and complaints in Zhou He's heart. This group of people did not listen to persuasion and were holding on to luck, but they couldn't just leave them alone.
They could only follow. Later, pay more attention and make more preparations
"What are you talking about, are you so happy?"
Shirley Yang came over, holding a camera in her hand
"Nothing to talk about."Zhou He said to her,"Our three brothers just made a division of labor issue. We must ensure the safety of the team to the greatest extent."
"Yes, Miss Yang. Fatty Wang said,"You come here. Do you have any instructions?""
Shirley Yang ignored him, took Zhou He's arm and left,"Come here and take pictures with me."
"Hey hey hey…"
"This American girl..." Fatty Wang looked at Zhou He's back being forcibly dragged away, and pinched his teeth,"I heard that this American girl is one year older than old Zhou, and she is a member of the same family. What do I think about this? Do you think this is like a sister or a daughter-in-law?"
"Fatty, don't worry about it. The two of them are each other's only relatives. What's wrong with them being so close?
Hu Bayi didn't take it seriously,"It's a normal thing, it's worth making a fuss about.""
"It doesn't look like it to me.
Fatty Wang said,"The main reason is that we didn't understand the purpose of this American girl coming here." Do you think, Lao Hu, if she had no purpose, she would have spent so much money to come to our country and also fund the archaeological team?"
"Americans are not just Lei Feng. I have never heard of any dedication!"
"There is no secret, why would you spend so much money on archeology for no reason? Just to find dad?"
"Look at that American girl, does she look a little sad? Are you here to find your father?"
"This time I came to China and became relatives with Lao Zhou again. It’s not a big deal yet. You see how strict she is. Lao Zhou can’t even talk to either of us."
"In case, if she has other motives, we brothers must prevent Lao Zhou from being deceived by the bad woman. Fatty Wang swore firmly that Shirley Yang had other motives.
Hu Bayi was speechless. He looked at him and said jokingly,"Okay, Fatty, I really can't tell. You still have the potential to be a great detective."! It’s impossible to say that if you work hard in the future and catch up on some cultural courses, you will become a Chinese version of Sherlock Holmes."
"Damn it, uncle, don’t be ridiculous. Fatty is talking to you about serious matters."
"Fatty, you are so worried."Hu Bayi tied the supplies on the camel's back tightly and said,"Even if they have a purpose, they have no obligation to tell us. Besides, Lao Zhou is not stupid either."
"Are you taking advantage of him and you think he can't tell?"
"I…"
"OK."Hu Bayi interrupted him and patted the fat man on the shoulder,"This car must have a road to the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. Even if she has ulterior motives, what can she do if she is left in the desert? ?"
"We brothers should do whatever they want, and don't think so bad of others."
"As the saying goes, don’t look at the monk’s face to look at the Buddha’s face"
"Don't keep calling me"American girl" in the future. It's not good for Lao Zhou to hear it. We don't have much relationship with Miss Yang, but we have a good relationship with Lao Zhou. They take good care of our brothers, so we have to give him face. When Fatty Wang heard this, he also felt that it made sense,"Okay, Fatty, for Lao Zhou's sake, I won't call you that.""
……
Zhou He accompanied Shirley Yang on a sand dune to take pictures with her
"The desert is so beautiful and spectacular."Shirley Yang said, as if she had never seen the market before, holding the camera and pressing the shutter repeatedly to record the scenery of the desert.
Zhou He looked over, curled his lips, and thought to himself, she is so beautiful, she will be all over her body at the end of the day. It's all sand, and you can't cultivate the land. The ground will be broken.
"Zhou He, look quickly."
Shirley Yang shook Zhou He's arm and showed him
"Mmmmmmm, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful."
Shirley Yang is not blind, how could he not see the perfunctory attitude? Seeing this, she glared at him fiercely, as if blaming him for not understanding the style.
But Zhou He said,"Don't you know, the more beautiful things are? Behind the scenes, the more dangerous it is"
"The calm before the storm, the more you need to be more careful and vigilant.
Shirley Yang asked him,"Did you see something?""
"Our journey has been too smooth."
"Isn't it okay if everything goes smoothly?"Shirley Yang asked him
"This is different. Zhou He shook his head,"Don't you feel that this smooth operation is a bit depressing?""
Zhou He pointed forward and said,"The further forward I go, the more clearly I can notice that there seems to be a 'qi' brewing in front of me. As expected, there will definitely be a big sandstorm coming in the next few days. We must be prepared."
After Shirley Yang heard this, she looked at the sky suspiciously and couldn't help but start to feel worried.
