063, Survival consciousness

The idiot untied the strips of cloth that had tied her and dragged her out of the sand pit. After packing up the plastic cloth, he placed the walnut flat on the ground and let the small bread sit next to her.

"Don't let her go."

The idiot raised a finger and signaled that Xiaobread didn't understand it or not, but just whimpered a few times and sat next to Wu Tao.

In a daze, Walnut saw the idiot walking to the place where the cup and plastic film were placed more than ten hours ago. He threw away the stones and stuffed the film back into the capsule. Then he took out the cup from below and walked over.

That cup was just placed under the sand for a day, so there should be nothing inside, right? Even if there is one, there should be only sand...

Hu Tao thought about this, turning her head away, and seemed dying. She had no strength to resist. Even when the idiot picked up her head and put the cup to her dry lips, she just squinted her eyes and fiddled with him in a daze.

...

Water touched her lips.

The cool liquid instantly saved Hu Tao's consciousness that was on the verge of shock. She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that there was a small cup of water in the cup. Although it was slightly turbid, it was indeed... water?!

Suddenly, Hu Tao opened his hands and intended to grab the cup. But the idiot suddenly pressed her down at this moment and moved the cup away. He looked down from a high point, and his black pupils reflected the stars in the sky, which came into Hu Tao's eyes.

"The less water you drink, the better. As long as it can sustain life, it will be enough."

If you consume too much water in the desert, it will evaporate from the body very quickly due to heat. Therefore, drinking water must be kept in a small amount or multiple times.

With those black eyes, Hu Tao became scared again. She nodded silently. Now, the idiot handed the cup to her. However, when drinking, the idiot pinched her chin and poured it into her mouth. After all, he didn't believe that the princess would really understand the principle of a small amount of time immediately, and would not drink all the water in one sip.

A small glass of water and half of the walnut. After she recovered, the idiot handed the water to the small bread and let her drink it. She originally thought that the idiot would let the small bread drink half of the bread and drink it himself. But unexpectedly, he watched the little girl finish drinking the water, stuffed the cup into her backpack and picked it up.

Isn't he... thirsty?

The boy, who was only one year older than him, was wearing heavy constraints on both hands and feet, and was wearing such a heavy sweater. Then, he had to carry a small bread and the backpack, and then take on the task of bringing himself back intact...

What kind of monster is he...??

Hu Tao was surprised, but soon, she shook her head desperately and denied the guess. He must have been drinking the water in the kettle secretly! He was only one year older than him, so how could he be a monster? That's right, he must have taken advantage of his drowsy time to drink water and eat food in big mouthfuls! It must be like this. This person is a bad guy, a big bad guy! How could he keep so many delicious food and drinks without moving, and bear so much burden alone?

Only by thinking this way can Hu Tao make himself feel more balanced. As long as he holds the idea that the boy in front of him is a bad guy, he doesn't have to think about how he did it. As long as he is bad enough, he will definitely do something shameful behind his back! This is how it is performed in the musical and dance drama! And his righteous partner was just caught by this bad guy for a while and could not break free!

"snort!"

After Wu Tao's self-adjustment, the image of an idiot turned back into a dirty beggar. She patted her skirt, forced herself to cheer up, and followed the idiot's footsteps and continued on the journey home.

In the next twenty days, Walnut, Idiot and Bread continued this uninterrupted journey of day and night. The surrounding environment was still in the desert no matter how you walked. Several times, Walnut even began to despair. During these twenty days, she continued to bear hunger, pain, thirst, and fear of real death that she had never suffered before.

It is not the kind of death performed in opera, nor is it like the romantic way in which the heroine will sing songs sadly after being stabbed, turning two circles, dying little by little in the arms of her beloved hero, petals will be shed around her, and there will be heroes crying and dying while singing.

This world was beyond her imagination. She thought death would be complicated, but this desert told her that death was actually very simple.

Hunger, tired, and then die.

There are no petals, no tears, no gorgeous background, and no moving music and singing. It's that simple. For this world, no matter whether you are a princess or a beggar, no matter whether you are a hero or a villain, in that hot day and the endless desert, all life is no different.

Living, or dead.

The idiot walked in obscurity in front of her. Behind her, Hu Tao looked at his back and finally saw a little clearly the world he had been living in. It was always that simple...

And terrible.

It was another night, and the three bright moons were gradually full. Fortunately, when dawn approached, they walked under a cliff, which was a small cave, which eliminated the idiots' skill to dig sand.

After nearly a month's journey, Walnut's clothes had become ragged. Her luxurious princess skirt was torn apart by her, and the torn fabric was used to hold her princess shoes that had already opened. Other fabrics were used to cover her head to prevent the sun from directly sank on her head.

The princess who refused to accept the ruling a month ago was completely conquered by nature and surrendered to the endless power. She sat quietly in the cave, deeply understanding the terrible parts of the desert, and began to learn to obey the commands of idiots. Now, she knows what "death" is and what "live" means. Maybe it's easy to understand these two meanings, but if a person cannot truly understand the true meaning, he will definitely not be able to survive in the desert.

...Although that's the case, today, this princess still seems to be unable to let go of the "persistence" in her heart.

The idiot threw the bread and walnut down there and took advantage of the gap of an hour before dawn to walk out of the cave to find food. During this period, walnut finally understood the meaning of the food and water in the idiot's backpack, and she finally knew that the boy did not steal it alone. In contrast, he always ate the least of the three of them, and he ate very little tree trunks and some very astringent small fruits he usually picked.

Hu Tao sat on a rock, her calves swinging forward and backward. After walking for a while, blood bubbles began to emerge on her feet. Every step she took seemed to hurt recently.

“Woo~~~”

Just as he was looking at his feet, a silly sound came from beside him. Hu Tao turned his head and saw Xiao Bao sitting beside him, imitating her, and his calves were swaying around. Seeing Hu Tao looking at her, the little girl also raised her head and looked back at her with her two emerald green eyes.

In the cave, these two girls stared at each other with big eyes and stared at each other...

...

"Ah~~~Woo."

Maybe she was tired of lifting her neck and jumping off the stone. But because the stone was a little taller, the angle of her jumping down was a bit wrong. When she hit the ground, her feet slipped and with a thump, the little girl fell down with her face down.

"oops!"

Seeing Xiaobiao fall, Hu Tao was startled and jumped down quickly. She knew that this little girl named Bao Bao was the person that idiot cared the most! If he knew that this girl was injured when she was with him... what would he do to him!!!

"Ouch!"

Unfortunately, the little princess forgot that her feet were covered with blood blisters. She hit the ground hard and immediately bent down in pain, holding her legs and began to twitch.

"Wow. Wow?"

The little bread climbed up from the ground, with some sand stuck to her face. She turned her head and saw a walnut lying beside her, holding her legs and twitching constantly. After thinking about it, she ran to her side, stretched out her hand, and grabbed her hand.

“Ah~~~~ Ah~~~~~~~~”

Xiao Bao pulled back, but how strong could she be? But seeing how she wanted to help her, Hu Tao couldn't help but feel moved.

Hu Tao endured the pain and knelt on the ground, letting her feet dry. But for the little bread that she wanted to help her, the princess smiled on her face, reached out and touched her hair.

“…Woo?!”

But unexpectedly, Hu Tao's action made Xiao Bao shocked her. She hurriedly took a step back and looked at Hu Tao nervously. Why? I'm afraid that Hu Tao's action of touching her hair reminded her of the feeling of an idiot usually touching her hair, but the one who touched herself was not an idiot, but this woman of the same age as an idiot.

Hu Tao saw Xiaobian's expression of surprise and suspicion, and didn't know what was going on for a moment. She thought she was scared Xiaobian, so she opened her hands and smiled and said, "Come on, Bao, don't be afraid, come to my sister."
