Be rescued unexpectedly from a desperate situation
Wang Keming is an adventurous donkey friend. This time, he rented a camel and wanted to cross the Urmutu Desert alone. But he got lost on the road and had no water for two days. Fortunately, God never shuts one door but he opens another. Just when he was desperate, he found a Populus euphratica forest with a small pit in it. This mine is a clear spring.
Wang Keming and the camel put down their bellies and drank enough. After drinking, Wang Keming found a sign hanging on the Populus euphratica tree next to the spring, which read: "You can only take a bag of water from here, otherwise, you will be cursed!"
Although Wang Keming didn't believe in any curse, he was a little uneasy. He carefully observed the "cursed spring". The spring is almost invisible, the bottom of the pit is covered with fallen leaves, and there are many fresh animal footprints around the puddle, which shows that animals in the desert come here to drink water.
When filling water, Wang Keming hesitated. He has three water bags. Should he fill all three water bags, or take only one water bag according to the hint of the "spell" in the tree? Wang Keming finally made a choice and filled all three water bags! After all, I am confused now. One more bag of water will give me more hope for life! And that curse may be just a joke made by some boring traveler.
After filling with water, Wang Keming couldn't help but want to take off his shoes and put his foot in. Finally, he simply took off his clothes and jumped into the puddle to take a bath.
But just after washing for a while, Wang Keming found that there was less and less water in the puddle, and finally it was completely dry. He's a little worried. There seems to be something blocking the spring. He quickly put on his clothes and carefully cleaned the fallen leaves and gravel at the bottom of the pit, but he couldn't find the spring water after searching for a long time. Wang Keming has some regrets, and he is even more afraid. He looked around and always felt eyes staring at him, but there were no other animals except camels.
The curse appears.
Wang Keming left Populus euphratica in a hurry until Populus euphratica was completely out of sight. He still didn't dare to stop, because he felt his eyes were still staring at him behind his back, but when he looked back, there was nothing. Is he really cursed?
Tired of walking, he took off the camel's back and prepared to have a rest. But the camel seems to feel some kind of danger, and uneasily broke free from Wang Keming's hand and ran.
Without camels, Wang Keming was so depressed that he had to carry three heavy water bags alone. After walking for a while, he suddenly found something strange under the sand dunes in the distance. He couldn't help taking a deep breath when he walked past. That's a camel, but it has fallen to the ground! The camel has a wound on its neck, and the blood has been sucked dry! Wang Keming's heart can not help but cast a shadow.
Kelly's name consciously looked back and found a shadow behind the sand dunes. Something is really following you!
Wang Keming pulled out his hunting knife and shouted at the sand dunes where the shadow was hiding: "I'm not afraid of you! Come out and fight with me if you dare! Don't be a ghost! "
There was silence in the desert. Wang Keming shouted again. Suddenly, a black shadow appeared on the top of the sand dune, slowly sat down and stared at Wang Keming with cold eyes. It turned out to be a wolf! It is much bigger than an ordinary wolf and has a circle of white hair around its neck.
Wang Keming's hand holding the knife is sweating, and being followed by wolves in the desert is not a fun thing.
Confronted with the wolf for a while, both sides were at a loss. Wang Keming continued on his way, and the wolf seemed to know that he was exposed, so he stopped hiding and just followed him at a distance and slowly.
In the evening, the weather suddenly changed, dark clouds rolled on the horizon, and a storm was coming. At this time, the wolf climbed to the top of the sand dune and let out a piercing howl. Obviously, it is calling its companion. Soon, there was an echo in the distance, and then other wolves joined the tracking team. By the time it was getting dark, the number of wolves had expanded to more than a dozen.
Wang Keming's heart was filled with despair, wolves, sandstorms and camels drained of blood. Is this a curse?
The sandstorm is coming, and there is yellow sand all over the sky. Wang Keming was exhausted, but he didn't dare to stop. The wolf was still following slowly. To his surprise, there are many things behind the wolf. These things are much bigger than wolves, but they follow slowly. Wang Keming was so nervous that she almost collapsed!
Suddenly, a white figure blocked Wang Keming's way. Red-eyed Wang Keming pulled out his hunting knife and found it by accident. Hardly had he jumped in front of Bai Ying when he was hit on the head and fell to the ground.
Mysterious old man
When Wang Keming woke up, he found himself lying in a stone house next to an old man in a white robe.
When the old man saw Wang Keming awake, he smiled happily: "Are you awake? I think you were delirious just now, so I had to knock you out first and drag you here. It is a dead end for you to run around in such a sandstorm. " Wang Keming asked doubtfully, "What is this place?" The old man said, "This is an abandoned castle, where people who cross the desert often escape from storms."
Wang Keming thanked the old man. He was so thirsty that he found his things in a corner of the stone house. He staggered to his feet and picked up a water bag to drink.
The old man suddenly asked, "I noticed that you brought three bags of water." I want to know where your water comes from? " Wang Keming didn't dare to hide it, but stammered about spring. The old man gasped: "Do evil! No wonder those things follow you. You are cursed! Go to the window and have a look yourself! " Wang Keming leaned over the window and sat down on the ground in fear!
The storm outside has stopped, but there are countless green eyes staring at Wang Keming in the darkness! The whole stone house has been surrounded by these hostile eyes! What monsters are these? Why are they tracking themselves? Wang Keming asked the old man with his eyes, but the old man stared at him and turned away contemptuously.
At dawn, Wang Keming looked out of the window carefully. Although he was psychologically prepared, the scene outside surprised him! It turns out that there are hundreds of large and small animals squatting outside, including foxes, antelopes, wolves and wild camels much bigger than wolves. Obviously, they all came for Wang Keming.
Wang Keming was afraid to go out of the stone house, so he had to ask the old man for help. The old man sighed and said, "Now we must try! You take those three water bags and come with me! "
Wang Keming took the water bag and followed the old man out of the house with trepidation. When the animals outside saw them coming out, they all stood up and stared at Wang Keming until his legs went soft.
The old man dug a hole in the ground with his hand, then laid a piece of plastic cloth that Wang Keming carried with him in the hole, prayed silently for a while, and said to Wang Keming, "Quick, pour all the water into the hole!" "Wang Keming don't know the old man gourd sell what medicine, but he can only do it. He poured the water from two water bags into the pit. Every time, the old man asked him to keep a good posture of pouring water and let the last few drops of water fall into the pit, as if to show the animals that they had not left a drop of water.
There is only one last bag of water left. Wang Keming said hesitantly, "Should we save some water for ourselves?" The old man glared at him: "No! Every drop must be poured in! "
After pouring the last bag of water, the two returned to the stone house. I saw those animals "shout" and surrounded the puddle. The old man urged, "Take your things and go!" Wang Keming followed the old man out of the stone house. Fortunately, the animals seem to be completely attracted by the water and don't follow.
The fountain of life
After walking for a while, Wang Keming looked at the direction and asked doubtfully, "Isn't this going back?" The old man said angrily, "Go back, of course. You did something wrong. Shouldn't you repent and turn over a new leaf? "
The two returned to Populus euphratica. The puddle in the forest has completely dried up. The old man closed his eyes and prayed for a while, then leaned down, brushed away the thick leaves and sand with his hands and sniffed something with his nose. Wang Keming asked him curiously what he was looking for, and the old man said, "Looking for water. We must find that spring again, so that we can redeem your sins and lift the curse on you. "
Hearing this, the Wang Keming also found it on the ground. But they were busy for a while, cleaned the bottom of the pit, dug some down, and still couldn't find the spring!
Suddenly, Wang Keming shouted in horror: "They are coming again!" It turned out that those animals didn't know when to follow up and surrounded Populus euphratica!
The old man suddenly looked excited, muttered, shouted and kowtowed to the bunker. His head was covered with sand and stained with blood by gravel. Wang Keming was frightened by his madness and tried to pull him up, but he pushed him away!
Suddenly, the old man looked up and stared at the bottom of the pit. Wang Keming leaned in and took a look. He was very surprised. There is a Koizumi at the bottom of the pit, and the water gurgles out. Soon, a pool of water has accumulated at the bottom of the pit!
Wang Keming gradually understood that, in fact, if he had just dug a little deeper, he would have found the spring. The old man just kowtowed and just "bumped" the spring!
The water in the puddle gradually filled up, but it stopped rising at the edge of the puddle. The old man took Wang Keming and hid behind a big tree. I saw those animals slowly approaching the puddle.
The wolf was the first to drink water by the pit. After drinking the water, they quickly left without even looking at the prey that was close at hand and easily available. Then there are other herbivores. They never push each other. They pushed them up one by one, as if there was a tacit understanding. There seems to be some hidden rules at work around this spring.
Wang Keming was deeply moved by this scene! It suddenly dawned on him that this Koizumi is the fountain of life for animals in this desert! For thousands of years, the animals in the desert and the spring water have maintained this dependence, but just yesterday, they almost destroyed the creatures in this area for their own quick victory! Maybe animals think they took the spring water, so they will follow it all the way; Perhaps because of thirst, the wolf will suck the camel's blood dry. The so-called curse on the tree only warns passers-by not to destroy the creatures in this area because of greed!
Seeing that spring has returned, the old man is relieved. He told Wang Keming that he lived on the edge of this desert. For many years, he has kept the habit of coming to see this spring every year. Only when he saw the spring flowing did he have the confidence to continue living in this desert. ...
When he left, Wang Keming carefully looked at the spell on the tree again. With pious feelings, he bowed deeply to the spring. This time, he only took water from a water bag.
