Chapter 20 Back
After the pygmy marmoset left, the canyon fell into dead silence again.
"Officer Zheng, you're injured, just take a nap, we can just keep watch." Li Qianxia couldn't help but say after seeing how Zheng Qing was holding on.
Zheng Qing didn't want to move, so she could only shake her head: "No, I'm not trying to be brave, I'm just worried that if I fall asleep, the enemy will attack me first."
Li Qianxia couldn't say anything anymore. If she continued, she seemed to be urging people to die.
Li Changzhou held Ak aside and said nothing. There was no moon tonight, and the sky was as dark as ink, so thick it was about to drip.
The bonfire crackled, making the sound of fighting against the darkness, trying hard to open up a small, warm light.
Li Qianxia yawned and was thinking about asking her brother to tell a joke to cheer her up.
"Back." Yang Qinglan suddenly raised his head and cast his gaze towards the cliff, the front line of the war between fire and darkness.
Everyone looked over and saw Zheng Qing, who was drowsy, becoming energetic.
Little Carrot crawled into the firelight from the darkness, shivering with cold.
Without waiting for the four people to say anything, she jumped four meters and landed beside the bonfire. She hugged her little body and began to breathe for warmth.
"Aren't you afraid of me anymore?" Li Changzhou smiled.
"Don't scare it away again!" Li Qianxia motioned for him to shut up.
Little Carrot tremblingly raised his head, his white and neat little teeth trembled and said: "Now, now...you...are not scary anymore."
Is it a rational reason? Li Changzhou thought.
When dopamine takes over and adrenaline is suppressed, he wants to kill the pygmy marmoset and rob it of its instinct to "avoid death and prolong life."
But now, how could he kill a "child" who was fair and tender, could talk, and was shivering from the cold? before he knew clearly that the other party was hostile?
He, Li Changzhou, is just an ordinary college student.
He suddenly thought of what Yang Qinglan said before. If he had no sister or teammates and acted alone, would he show mercy to Zheng Qing and the dwarf marmoset today?
He should become the ‘Invincible Hot Wheels’ and strike first without hesitation.
Yang Qinglan turned her head sideways and asked Li Changzhou: "Have you thought of anything?"
"Maybe it's a matter of perspective," Li Changzhou thought carefully and gave an answer he thought was credible, "A person like me can look like a god at one moment and a devil at another. Well, that must be the case."
"Well, you are so handsome."
"Don't think I don't know you're swearing."
"Reflect carefully," Yang Qinglan withdrew her gaze and stared at the bonfire, "why does it make me have the urge to curse, I am such an elegant, intellectual, noble, gentle and elegant person."
Li Changzhou turned his head and looked at her, his expression was calm and cold, not like he was joking.
So shameless?
like.
On the other side, Li Qianxia was already chatting animatedly with Xiaoluobo, just like two monkeys.
"Do you have a name?"
"Pygmy marmoset."
"That's not it. Everyone calls it pygmy marmoset, right? So you need a more special name."
Who are the people you are talking about? Li Changzhou glanced at his sister and threw firewood into the bonfire.
"I don't have a more special name." Little Carrot shook his head, hugging his knees, like a very well-behaved little girl, but not wearing any clothes, which was not very good.
"Then let me pick one for you. You are a monkey and a dwarf marmoset. How about calling it 'Zhu Wukong'? Zhu is Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu."
"Does it know which Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu is?" Yang Qinglan said subconsciously.
Li Changzhou couldn't help but say: "It's a female."
"What kind of female? Not polite! It's a girl!" Li Qianxia rolled her eyes at her brother, and then asked him as if she was about to fight, "Then what do you think I should call her?"
"If you're not a human being, why do you have to marry someone's name? All things are equal." Li Changzhou dug into the fire pit, "I think it looks like a radish, so I'll call it 'little radish'."
"It's really not a person's name, it's a plant name given by people." Yang Qinglan nodded, mocking someone's belief that all things are equal.
"Little radish, little radish," Li Qianxia said while looking at the dwarf marmoset, and suddenly laughed, "It really looks like a radish!"
Li Changzhou pondered: "Isn't there a carrot emoticon now? When I go back, I will draw a more specific one based on it. Maybe I can sell it for some money."
Li Qianxia closed her palms and continued: "Then use the money from the sale to buy clothes for Xiaoluobo!"
"ah?"
Li Changzhou couldn't understand what a woman thinks when she sees cute little animals.
The dwarf marmoset recognized the name 'Little Carrot' and thought it was easier to pronounce than 'Zhu Wukong'.
From now on, Little Carrot is no longer the name Li Changzhou only calls the dwarf marmoset in his mind, everyone calls it that.
It also wrote "little carrot" on the nickname of the "identity card", fearing that it would forget it.
When it came to his nickname, Li Changzhou felt extremely regretful because he couldn't change it.
His title as the "King of Black Mist" is like "May you never betray me. If you betray me, I will give you everything I have and destroy everything you have" in QQ space. It cannot be deleted.
A night of despair, coldness, and a night that people never want to remember.
He stood up and walked around, not only to patrol, but also to dispel the warmth of the campfire and stifle his sleepiness.
When people are sleepy and tired, their concentration will decrease.
The night passed peacefully.
The desert is freezing cold in the early morning, and after the campfire there are only sparks left in the middle of the night.
Four people and one monkey in summer clothes were all breathing white air.
"I have a proposal." The coldness prevented Li Changzhou from finishing his words at once.
Yang Qinglan simply didn't speak, and raised her chin slightly, indicating for him to continue speaking.
"The temperature is not high yet. We should seize the time, use the instinct of little carrots to find people, take the initiative and end this game."
He shook his shoulders and simply blended in with the cold, letting them absorb warmth from his body.
On the contrary, my spirits are much clearer.
He continued to say to the other three people and the monkey who were curling up to keep warm:
"Stay here and we will have water, but no food and no firewood to survive the second night."
"Didn't you say," Li Qianxia shuddered, "didn't you say that you should conserve your strength and make plans to go back?"
"That was when there was no target," Li Changzhou said. "Now that we have Little Carrot, we can probably tell which direction there are contestants."
"I support it." Zheng Qing's voice was clear. "Some animals have very strong survival abilities in the desert. They dig holes, don't need to eat for a week, replenish water through morning mist, etc. We have no advantage compared with them."
She had another unspoken thought, leaving the canyon and walking out, maybe finding her scattered teammates.
Yang Qinglan was not in a hurry to make a decision. She asked Xiaoluobo: "Xiaoluobo, can you feel that there is danger, but it is not a very dangerous direction?"
Little Carrot nodded vigorously, curling up his jade-like toes, trying to lock in any places where heat was lost.
"Then let's go."
