Adventures of Gadzhibaba

During the summer vacation, she and her two brothers went to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. They visit the cave every day. After the scenic spot closed at 4 pm, the two brothers went out to collect the scenery with their camera bags on their backs. Only she is idle and bored. The local summer days are particularly long, and there is natural light at night 10. She planned to spend the afternoon to see the long-awaited desert, but every time she mentioned it, she was opposed by her brother: "Don't be ridiculous. If you want to go, you have to walk together all morning. " No one told her why she couldn't go to the desert in the afternoon.

For several days, she finally couldn't resist the temptation of the desert and decided to act alone. She thought to herself, if you don't let me into the desert, you're just worried that I'll get lost alone when it gets dark. I'm not that stupid. She borrowed a flashlight from the local people, which is half a meter long and has straps at both ends, so she can carry it on her back. It's heavy, like a spear. With this special weapon, she felt confident.

That afternoon, everything was ready. She wore a broken straw hat, a flashlight and kettle on her shoulders, a wet towel tied to her arm, a knife and a box of matches, like a fully armed soldier. Before leaving, she specially left a small note for the two brothers: "I went to the desert, you don't have to worry, I brought a flashlight." Then, full of confidence, she set out alone in the scorching sun.

Just entering the desert, the wet towel on her arm was covered with white mist. At this time, the temperature was as high as 40 degrees, but she was attracted by another scene. The sky is bright blue and the ground is dazzling yellow, which set each other off into a dream. Golden sunlight, like many metal foams, was brushed down and fell to the ground and turned golden. The endless sand dunes are spotless. When you step on them, the quicksand overflows with a "wow" sound, and then deep footprints are carved. The desert is so old, and she is so young, she can't help but be full of emotion and pride, and feel that she is going to a Millennium appointment. She has no idea that the danger is coming quietly!

It's getting dark She suddenly felt cold. Looking around, the sky has become a cauldron, covering the fields, and the sand dunes in all directions are exactly the same. She came in along a dry river, and now she can't find the river, and she can't even tell the difference between the east and the west. Hesitation, her whole body trembled again. At this time, the temperature dropped by more than 30 degrees, and she suddenly fell into the ice cave from the stove, wearing only denim shorts and a small vest!

The instinct of survival made her forget her fear for a while. She didn't dare to walk around again, so she had to wait until dawn. The urgent thing is to make a fire to keep warm, or she will freeze to death. There is only one fern in the desert, camel thorn. She took out a short knife and dug hard, and her hands were stabbed with blood. I finally dug up a lot of camel bones, took out matches and lit them, but I couldn't light them. There are only half a box of matches left! At this time, she remembered that there was still a towel on her body, so she put it under the fire and finally lit the camel thorn. Holding a short knife in her hand, she warmed herself and dug firewood for a while, not daring to relax.

Busy until dawn, the two brothers followed the fire and finally found her. I came up with a scolding: "You silly girl! Do you know there are wolves in the desert? Do you know that Dune can translate? Do you know about sandstorms? Do you know that the daily temperature difference in the desert is more than 30 degrees? " She knew nothing and had never heard of it. She turned pale with fear and shook her head again and again.

"Didn't you say you brought a flashlight? Is it useful? " It suddenly occurred to her that the flashlight was still on her back, let alone used it. She had never touched it. It was with this flashlight that she dared to venture into the desert alone. It never occurred to her that when the crunch came, everything else played a role, but the flashlight was useless. This is a joke, but it is a close call.

In fact, it is not difficult to take a step forward. The difficult thing is whether you have the courage to go out.
