628 Wait Until I Take You Home 13
Cheng Luo didn't know what Zhou Qiang was thinking. She leaned on Tian Miao's sleeping bag and fell asleep in a daze.
...
One night passed.
It is the coldest in the desert when it is about to dawn, and there is an illusion of sleeping in a world of ice and snow. Que Qiu opened his eyes and pulled the sleeping bag away. He was almost dazzled by the sand leaking from the sleeping bag. When he sat up, he realized that the sky, which was supposed to be gradually getting brighter, had not changed at all. The camels who were together also started to move. Que Qiu opened the water bag and took a sip of water, went outside for a walk and came back, only to find that Professor Wu had gotten up and was sitting on the pony outside to brush his teeth.
"Professor Wu." Que Qiu nodded in greeting.
Professor Wu's complexion looked much better than yesterday. He waved his hand at him, rinsed his mouth and said, "Thank you, guide."
The two chatted for a few words, and the team members came out of the tent one after another. After washing up and eating some biscuits, they were all ready to go, but everyone hesitated and asked Que Qiu: "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 anyway.
"The black sandstorm is expected to come in two days. It is estimated that we will not be able to reach the target point today. We can only go to the ancient city of Oasis to avoid the black sandstorm before we can walk through Hull Shoal to the imperial city. We have to make a big detour."
Zhou Qiang asked anxiously: "Why? Doesn't it mean 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, asking why they stopped.
Que Qiu still explained calmly: "Because I can't get there today, I originally planned to cross a black dead end today. There are no machines and compasses there. You can only use your eyes to tell the direction, and the black sandstorm covers the sun. On a starry and moonlit night, we can’t tell the direction. When the black sandstorm comes, everyone will die. Now we have to find a shelter. And, because we don’t have enough supplies, we need to go to the oasis to resupply. Did you forget that there are so many of us? Everyone is using Miss Tian Miao's water alone. Do you really think that Miss Tian Miao's water can support all of us to reach our destination?"
At the end of speaking, Que Qiu's tone became a little mocking.
Zhou Qiang's face turned red suddenly, indeed, he had already forgotten. Tian Miao's generosity made him, not just him, let everyone ignore this point.
"I'm sorry, Miss Tianmiao, please forgive our selfishness. We are too eager." Professor Wu apologized to Tianmiao.
"It's okay, I can understand your feelings. However, as the guide said, we do have to supply drinking water. Otherwise, it won't be able to support so many of us on the road." Tian Miao waved his hand and said he didn't mind.
"Thank you Miss Tianmiao for your generosity. Then, let's listen to the guide's arrangement. We will supply water first, and then find a solution. The scientific research task is important, but personal safety must also be the first priority." Professor Wu made another decision, and all Nobody has any objections anymore.
Tian Miao also nodded, and said: "Then let's go." Then he turned and went to the camel caravan. Others followed.
When Tian Miao was there, Que Qiu rode not the leading camel, but the one next to Tian Miao, but Tian Miao still let Que Qiu lead the way. Leader, follow up.
And Que Qiu knew very well the position of the leader of the camel team, and she managed the camel team so easily?
Although there were many questions in his heart, Que Qiu never asked them. From the first time he saw Tian Miao, he knew in his heart that she was not an ordinary person.
