The night passed quickly and nothing happened. I rubbed my eyes. Mozzie and Team Leader Chen had already placed all their equipment on the camel's back. Yang Liu was squatting beside her and constantly fiddling with her hair.
I deliberately said sourly,"What? She even dressed up? I'm here to do something, not to travel. Besides, there are no handsome guys in the desert. Is there a need to value my face so much?”
Yang Liu turned around and glared at me. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she said,"Of course. When you become handsome one day, you'll understand.”
Mosquito smiled and shook her head. She told me to pack up quickly. We were about to set off. I said that I'm not as handsome as you guys, and I'll be ugly even if I were to teach you a lesson. In our line of work, an ordinary face is the most ideal, just like my face.
Looking at the boundless yellow soil in front of me, I really wanted to say," I dare to ask where it is." He could vaguely see some yellow sand under his feet. If he walked further in, he would be in a desert.
"Wait a minute."
Yang Liu suddenly stopped, causing me to almost bump into the camel's butt in front of me. I looked up and asked her what was going on.
"Team Leader Chen, those wolves haven't left yet last night. I don't know if they want to say hello to us.”Yang Liu pointed at a small hill in the distance. I stared until my eyeballs almost fell out, but I still didn't see any wolves.
Team Leader Chen nodded and said," Let's not bother about them for now. Just disperse them when necessary. Otherwise, it'll be easy for us to leave traces behind."”
I expressed my strong support for the leader's decision. I said that with Yang Liu as an early warning aircraft, she was our radar. With her around, any danger could be discovered in advance. Yang Liu rushed up and prepared to kick. Fortunately, I ran away in advance.
"Be careful, rat. I'll tear your mouth apart.”
"That depends on whether you have the strength or not.”
"Stop right there, dead rat, don't run!"
Team Leader Chen saw that our atmosphere was quite lively, so he didn't stop us and let us beat and scold him.
Speaking of which, Yang Liu was like a perpetual motion machine. She didn't even take a break when she ran. I really couldn't run anymore, so I hurriedly surrendered. I only stopped after she kicked me.
At this time, the two of us were already quite a distance ahead of Team Leader Chen and Mozzie. I sat down on the ground and took the opportunity to rest. Yang Liu walked alone to a pile of cacti that was half the height of a person.
I saw that those cactuses were quite energetic. They should be very rich in water. I told Yang Liu that I should wait for Team Leader Chen to come and discuss with him to get some water from the cactuses. Although we brought enough water to last us a month, we don't know how long we'll be here. It's always good to have more.
Yang Liu replied disdainfully," You have no common sense at all. The water in the cactus is not something that can be drunk casually. Forget it. With your intelligence, I can't be bothered to explain it to you."”
As she spoke, she began to admire the cacti.
"Damn rat, get over here."
Yang Liu squatted in front of the cactus and shouted with her back to me. I responded and ran over to ask,"What? Don't tell me you're interested in these cactuses. I won't help you dig them up.”
"What? Look, there's something good here.”
I crouched down beside her and looked closely. Under the largest cactus, there was a round hole with a diameter of nearly one foot. The hole was slanted and very smooth, like the nest of some small animal.
I said,"You're a three-year-old kid, right? Even a hole is so rare."
Yang Liu blinked her big eyes and said,"It's most likely a rabbit."
"F * ck, why didn't you say so earlier? Move aside, let me show you a little.”
As I spoke, I took out the baton that was pinned to my waist. Just as I took it out, Yang Liu stared straight at me and asked me where I got this baton from. I said, what do you care? Hurry up and get behind the cactus.
"What do you want?" Yang Liu asked.
"Nonsense, we'll have extra food tonight."
"You, why are you so heartless?"
"Okay, okay, okay. If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. How about I make it for you to play with?”
Yang Liu believed it and repeatedly told me not to hurt her. I said yes, but I thought that it would not be up to you later.
I let the willow jump on the ground behind the cactus to scare the rabbit out of the hole. Then, he raised his staff, thinking that when the rabbit popped its head out, he would smash it down with his staff.
"Damned rat, quickly stay away from the cave entrance.”
"What danger?"
Yang Liu said as soon as she reached the cactus. I heard her tone was a little serious and didn't seem to be joking. I quickly took a few steps back.
"Come here, rat," she yelled.”
I walked behind the cactus and stood beside Yang Liu. I followed her finger and looked. It was a pile of white bones. Not to mention the soil, the ground was covered in a thick layer.
These bones were not big and should be from some small animals. The ones at the top were still bloodshot, probably just eaten not long ago.
I couldn't guess what could eat so much. I went back to the cave entrance and said,"Looks like we can't eat the rabbit. There are probably lizards inside. Let's not disturb them.”
Yang Liu said,"Aiyo, who was so excited just now?" You even said that you'd show me your skills. What's wrong? You don't dare to do it now?"
"Who says I don't dare? However, if it wasn't a rabbit, why would I bother with it?”But seeing the sneer on Yang Liu's lips, I was very unconvinced and said,"Alright, just you wait. Who cares what it is? I'll take it out for you to see.”
I bent over and used the baton to shake the cave entrance. Seeing that there was no movement, he simply stuck the entire stick in.
"Retreat. He took the bait."
I suddenly felt a strong force dragging the stick. It must have been bitten by the guy inside. I quickly pulled it out and dragged out a gray thing that surprised Yang Liu and me.
Yang Liu looked at the fish-like gray thing hanging on the staff and asked me in disbelief,"Can you explain what this is?”
I couldn't believe what I was seeing either. I replied in a daze,"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is commonly known as the 'Jumping Cat'. In the legends, it was a moon spirit that was born from the essence of moonlight. It later became the pet of Chang'e. In the books, they usually call it "rabbit".
Yang Liu also became funny. She nodded and said,"Your Excellency is right. This is indeed the legendary rabbit, but"
"It's just that this head is too big, isn't it?"”
This rabbit was twice as big as the average rabbit. Moreover, it could actually bite the metal rod so tightly, and it did not let go even when it was hung up. With the rabbit's mouth, this was completely unreasonable. Moreover, my stick was not a carrot.
I shook it twice before throwing it on the ground. Unexpectedly, the rabbit did not run away. After stabilizing its body with a carp, its two powerful hind legs suddenly jumped up and pounced at me like an arrow leaving the bow.
