Chapter 2287 Quietly
They had no tent, so Manbao put a medicine bag next to the fire. The firelight roasted the medicine bag, and soon the fragrance of medicine began to spread. It was medicine to repel insects.
It is very useful in the desert. Whenever they set up camp in the desert, there will always be some rustling sounds coming from under the sand. They are either scorpions, sand ants, gerbils, and there are also many flying insects.
But now there are no scorpions, sand ants or gerbils here, but there are some flying insects.
But after the medicinal fragrance came out, they slowly disappeared.
Daji took a felt cloth and spread it on the sand, then lay down and started sleeping.
Maybe it was because of the inner layer of clothing, but he didn't feel very cold at night. But Bai Shan still put a cloak he had prepared on Man Bao.
Manbao lay on the felt and smiled at him, then pulled up his cloak to cover his head and immersed his consciousness in the system to communicate with Teacher Mo.
Teacher Mo looked at the pictures and videos she sent and emailed her.
He didn't expect that a meteorite left in a tiankeng could be so big. He was very excited and was encouraging her to work harder and try to dig out the meteorite as soon as possible.
Manbao was stunned for a moment after reading the email, then replied, "Teacher, I want you to see that this rock is so big and so deep underground. It would be difficult to dig it out by human power, especially with only my friend and I."
Manbao finally asked Keke to type three words: "Request for support."
Didn’t he say that if you have any difficulties, you can go to the teacher?
It was the first time that Teacher Mo encountered such a simple question. After a moment of hesitation, he thought about it and didn't give her any suggestions like "ask someone to dig it out". Instead, he said directly: "Wait a moment, I'll apply for you."
Teacher Mo disappeared immediately. Manbao waited for a long time but he didn't come back. Bai Shan lay down beside her. Seeing that Daji had closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, he turned around and lay on his side facing Manbao.
When Daji placed the felt cloth for them, he deliberately left a large distance between them. Although they were already engaged, they still had to observe the proper etiquette, right?
He laid a felt cloth on the other side of the fire, at a 90-degree angle to them, so that he could guard the perimeter without disturbing his two masters.
But when Bai Shan put the cloak on Manbao, he moved his felt cloth towards Manbao. At this time, there was only half a arm's length of sand between the two people's felt cloths.
Bai Shan rested his head on his arms and looked at her. Well, because she was hiding in her cloak, only her raven-like hair could be seen.
Manbao poked his head out from under his cloak and immediately met Bai Shan's gaze.
Bai Shan thought she had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect her to suddenly open her round eyes and see him. He didn't react at once and just stared at her in a daze.
When he reacted, his eyes couldn't help but move to the side, a little vague.
But he quickly moved back and looked at her with bright eyes, which seemed to be filled with stars. "Are you tired?"
Manbao whispered back, "No, are you tired?"
Bai Shan smiled softly and whispered back, "I'm not tired either."
The two of them looked at each other for a while, and after a while, Bai Shan reached out and pulled her cloak up again, and asked softly, "Are you cold?"
Manbao shook his head, "It's not cold."
She asked, "Are you cold?"
"I'm not cold either."
Manbao: "You must be cold."
She glanced at his clothes, half-raised her head to glance at Daji who was not far away, and whispered to him, "I'm not cold because I'm wearing a cloak. How can you not be cold? I'll give you half."
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I'm really not cold."
Manbao had already stood up and moved the felt cloth towards him. When the two pieces of felt cloth were about to touch each other, Bai Shan stood up and held them down. He also secretly glanced at Daji, and then whispered to Manbao, "It's OK."
The two pieces of felt were laid out again, leaving a fist-sized area of sand in the middle. Manbao draped the cloak horizontally over them. This way, although it couldn't cover the whole body, it could cover the upper body and stomach of both of them.
The two of them lay down again, and lying sideways like this made them seem very close. Manbao felt a little embarrassed when he met Bai Shan's gaze, so he closed his eyes.
Bai Shan looked at her gently, reached out and touched her face. When he realized what he was doing, he had half stood up and leaned over to kiss her gently on the cheek.
Manbao closed his eyes, fluttered his eyelashes like a palm-leaf fan, and then remained tense and motionless.
Bai Shan immediately returned to his seat and lay down, reached out to hold her hand, and then lay there obediently.
Manbao opened her eyes a little to look at him, her cheeks slightly red. Seeing that his ears were red, she couldn't help but smile and let him hold her hand.
Because it was outdoors and there were few people around, Manbao thought she would be scared and unable to sleep. But after just a moment of silence, her hand, held by Bai Shan, soon became warm, and then she fell asleep in a daze.
Bai Shan heard her breathing becoming shallow, so he opened his eyes and looked at her for a while, smiled, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Daji, who was lying on the other side, waited until both of them fell asleep before opening his eyes.
He sat up from the ground, added some firewood to the fire, and listened carefully around him. He still didn't hear the wolf howling, and there was no rustling sound under the sand, so he lay down again.
If this were somewhere else, he would not be able to lie down safely in such a quiet camping spot, but here, with the sinkhole there, it seemed like a normal thing.
Daji actually had a lot of questions in his mind, but when he heard the two young masters greeting and caring for each other, he suddenly felt that there was no need to ask those questions.
They have been growing up under his nose, and they are still the same people. Although they have grown up, they still have a childlike heart.
However, the intelligence and talent of the two people were far beyond his reach. He knew that he was not smart enough, so he might as well do whatever they said.
Daji woke up three times during the night, each time to add firewood to the fire. When he woke up for the last time, it was almost dawn, and it was also the coldest time of the day. He didn't dare to stop and just put all the firewood in.
Manbao and Baishan were sleeping soundly, their hands resting lightly on the empty sand in the middle. A corner of Baishan's clothes fell over. The two probably felt the sand was cold, so they placed their hands on that corner of the clothes.
Daji didn't sleep anymore, but got up and walked around to make sure there was really no animal around. When he walked further away, he saw some small flying insects flapping their wings. They were smaller than mosquitoes and posed no danger at all.
Only then did he feel relieved and went back to sit by the fire to give them hot water and hot buns.
Manbao and Baishan were awakened by the aroma of steamed buns. When they opened their eyes and saw each other, they couldn't help but smile.
Daji coughed lightly, and the two came to their senses and immediately let go of each other's hands and sat up.
Bai Shan pretended that their felt cloth had not moved closer and greeted Daji as usual.
Daji pretended not to know and said gently, "Master, Miss Man, I will take you in after breakfast. I will go back to get my things after you enter the tiankeng."
See you at 9pm
