Chapter 84 Better to die than live

I was thrown back to reality without any defense and plunged into the yellow sand.

Li Yuan stood steadily on the stone lotus altar whose petals had been peeled off by time. Behind him was the deserted and dry ancient river bed, and in front of him was the weird and rugged body of the desert.

A gentle moon shrouds the top of the head, so close that people want to hide in the sand.

It is said that it is endless fun to fight against the sky. But what can an ordinary person do to fight against the sky? I gritted my teeth, but still could not stand up. The triathlon consumed all my strength, and I still have to walk out of this desert.

The possibility. It is indeed the sea of ​​death.

Li Yuan wanted to help me up. The moon was close to him, like the overwhelming destiny.

I have never believed in fate. The idea that man can conquer nature is buried in the bones of us Chinese people, but now I realize that it is because God has shown his favor. Li Yuan has always been stared at.

"This road has no end at all. I'm too lazy to walk." I pushed away Li Yuan's hand, sat down on the ground, and smiled at him with my chapped lips. "Go and die on your own."

The sadness in Li Yuan's eyes was heavier than the moonlight.

Maybe until now, I have really seen Yin Yuechen. My friend Li Yuan is not a liar, he was just forced by his fate to become a person with no way out. Now that person finally has a choice.

"You have done your best, thank you for your long johns." I rubbed my hands, but I didn't feel any warmer. I don't know if it was because my fingertips had lost feeling, or because I was almost as cold as the surroundings.

Li Yuan didn't move. I really didn't have the strength to raise my head to look at him, let alone read his expression hidden in the moonlight.

"Or do you mean you don't want to die?"

Silence is the most straightforward answer and the most time-consuming answer. I licked the wound on my lips and smiled in my heart.

"Don't tell me, the moon is really beautiful, and those stars are pretty good too. You're blocking my light. Let's go, Ma Liu'er."

The moon doesn't always wait for you. Especially this is an untimely and deadly moon.

Li Yuan left.

The sand is like snow and the moon is like a knife.

I rested where I was for a while, and with the little strength I had managed to regain, I moved myself under the altar with only the base left. It was able to block the wind. Although I was away from Li Yuan, I definitely couldn't go out tonight.

, but as long as I survive until dawn, I might still have a glimmer of hope. Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to die.

The night is already half over, but crises don't discount sales. Hypothermia is the closest way to death for me, and that doesn't count the beasts that come out to look for food at night. I don't expect a furry little animal to come.

, just to use body temperature to help me get through the night.

First of all, the less contact I have with the sand, the better, unless I want to warm the entire desert with myself. Fortunately, the Lotus Altar is at the end of the river valley, and there is a lot of Nile sediment here, which is enough for me to avoid the cold wind from both directions. More

I couldn't think about it for the moment.

Just do it, I rubbed back around the altar little by little. But as I rubbed, I felt my body starting to sink into the sand. Perhaps as we expected, this is the path leading to the Temple of Thutmose III.

On the road, Apep probably traveled under this desert. And I set foot on the desert that was hollowed out by this broken snake.

I immediately lay down on my back, held my breath, resisted the urge to struggle, and tried my best not to sink so fast. But to no avail, I still sank into the sand. Pressure came from all directions, and everything poured into my ears.

The sound of blood flowing, and every heartbeat was like a heavy beating on a drum, causing the vision to blur.

Through the yellow sand, I seemed to see a bright moon.

Then my body could move. After realizing this, I struggled desperately, and the sand around me was split open like water waves. Before I could think about it carefully, I saw an object "swimming" towards me.

That's absolutely not the way any normal creature would behave.

I was so frightened that I froze and didn't even have the strength to escape, but my body swam upwards uncontrollably with that strange life.

I don’t know why, even though I was swimming up to the sea, the pressure on my body was getting bigger and bigger. The creature was swimming faster just now, but it could no longer take a step forward. It raised its head, and a roar came along the sea water, and it collided with it.

It hurts me.

A full moon covered the sea.

At this time, all the bones in my body were about to be crushed, but I tried my best to get closer to the moon, until I fell back into the deep sea like a rag.

The feeling of sinking into quicksand was like floating in the deep sea. I was just floating in the sea waiting to die until I was dug out of the sand.

"Cough, cough, cough..." I gasped for a while, as if I was choking on water, and then I raised my head.

Li Yuan bent down and patted my back gently. Stars spread out in the night behind him, and he was just like the North Star that shined four thousand years ago, even eclipsing the evil moon.

I looked at the moon in the water.

The sacrifice to the gods in the river was his story, and the story of just drowning was mine.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Even though the doubts lingering in my heart have only increased, I am still very happy that Li Yuan has left and returned. With any luck, neither of us will have to die. Of course I don't want to be left alone in the desert, nor do I.

I hope Li Yuan wants to die.

"I just said yesterday that I will protect you until I die. Do you want me to break my promise today?"

"Then you're not going to die?"

He smiled and shook his head. I was a little happy, but it hurt me a lot when I grinned.

Without saying a word, Li Yuan picked me up from the ground and turned around.

"Come up, let's go together."

"Good guy, this kind of treatment may not have been available to pharaohs before."

I don't even have the strength to stand firm now, so I can only play with my words. If Li Yuan really doesn't come back, let alone survive until dawn, I may not be able to move to the river valley alive.

Li Yuan's back is like an electric blanket, exuding a warm and safe atmosphere. A bunch of hair sticks out from the back of his round head, dangling in front of my eyes. Although it is not cute or furry enough, it still has a

Life is here just to use its body temperature to get me through the night.

I laughed unconsciously.

"What did you think of that made you so happy?" When Li Yuan spoke, his back trembled slightly.

"I was wondering why you wear long johns if you are not afraid of the cold."

Li Yuan's steps paused slightly.

"Because I don't want to become a normal person just because of my 'transformation'."

Originally I just changed the topic, but I didn't expect him to actually answer.

"It's a good thing you're wearing them." I had to say dryly after poking the person's lung tube, and added "Normal people don't wear long johns in broad daylight."

"Yes." Li Yuan turned his head and I could see his eyes.

As soon as I felt relieved, my tense spirit relaxed. We chatted for a while, and then I didn't have the energy to speak, so Li Yuan kept talking. He asked me to give him some from time to time.

The reaction didn't let me fall asleep.

The bandage around his neck was warmed by Li Yuan's body temperature, giving it a slight rusty smell. The painful smell was not good at all, but it was particularly attractive to me. I had to endure it to not bite it.

The back of Li Yuan’s neck, just so I could taste more of his blood. Although they are both 1.6 meters tall, I am not interested in the meat on the back of the neck. Li Yuan is not Tang Monk, and you cannot live forever if you eat his meat.

Exhaustion and low temperature made my consciousness gradually blur.

"Wang Yu, Wang Yu!"

Li Yuan called my name vigorously. I opened my mouth. I responded obviously, but he didn't seem to hear me. Li Yuan fell silent and raised the knife to my mouth. It was definitely strong alcohol and it made me choke.

My eyes hurt. I might have been cold by the time I saw 279. At that time, Lou Shiqi might have been startled, thinking that we were performing some kind of corpse exorcism from his hometown. If he was still alive, otherwise, we

We might meet underground and ask about the way to Naihe Bridge from Egypt.

I was thinking wildly in my mind when suddenly Li Yuan straightened his back nervously. I thought I had encountered some danger, and was about to struggle for death when I heard him singing: "The river flows eastward, and the stars in the sky join the Big Dipper."

!”

All the wine that was not swallowed was contributed to the desert.

"Let's go if we say we're going, you have it and I have it, hahahaha, I have it all~"

I lay on Li Yuan's shoulder and laughed so hard that I almost lost my breath. I didn't expect that he could sacrifice himself to this extent.

Li Yuan was unmoved and continued to sing in a nonsensical way. No wonder he refused to sing before, it was really hard to listen to.

Now I couldn't sleep even if I wanted to. I laughed for a while, but slowly my consciousness began to blur again. When I came back to consciousness, my lips were pressed against the skin of Li Yuan's back neck. There was a scabbed tooth mark there.

I was shocked. If I had not lost my strength, I might have bitten off a piece of meat from Li Yuan. The recovery of my appetite made me feel that I was okay again, and at the same time, in order to stay away from temptation, I had to get off Li Yuan's back.

Li Yuan couldn't escape, and looked at me quietly with dazzling sadness in his eyes.

The co-author thought that I had come back to the light.

I didn't bother to scare him, so I walked forward vigorously. Li Yuan chased after me. I don't know who couldn't hold it back first. We both looked at each other and laughed for a long time. Although we didn't understand why I just returned the favor, but

It's better than when I was out of breath just now.

"Did I bite you just now?" I was a little embarrassed.

"Well, your teeth are pretty good." Li Yuan couldn't help laughing. "You must be hungry. It shouldn't be too far. Just hold on for a while."

"Don't worry, that mouthful of pork neck will last you half a day."

The stars all over the sky were scattered on the sky like dust. Li Yuan raised his head to identify the direction of the North Star. The stardust suddenly fell downwards, and we were frozen in place. What fell on Li Yuan's eyelashes was definitely a snowflake.

He blinked. Countless snow fell between us again.

Lord Black said that twelve years ago, he followed the Jewish couple to find the temple of Thutmose III hidden in the desert. The woman opened the door of the temple with her own blood and a piece of blood amulet.

Combining the ore that Li Yuan saw in Antarctica and what Arnold told me about [Boiling Snow] can do, the current situation is probably that those people have found the place and started the sacrifice before we could wait.

Snow as fine as icing sugar was falling, completely blocking the starry sky.

"Let's go. Since this place has been affected, we are heading in the right direction." Li Yuan withdrew his gaze.

We stepped on the snow and walked forward in silence.

"Li Yuan, look!" I opened my eyes wide and looked at the desert covered with a thin layer of white cotton quilt in front of me.

After a short snowfall, the desert responded with a flood of flowers. The gods of Egypt may not be in the sky, but they must be in the desert. Among the lives that strive to bloom due to the snowfall, among the lives that watch the miracle, one of them can

Not withering so quickly.

"White desert." Li Yuan said softly.

The sky has cleared up. The fine sand in front of me is crystal clear white in the morning light. Such an unclear time has passed clearly.

Li Yuan stared at the sun quietly, letting the snow melt on his cheeks.

We'll meet up in the next chapter

As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come late.
