PDLP Chapter 140 Desert Night
Chapter 140 Desert Night
Although the road was bumpy, the fresh food was well protected.
It was wrapped in a thick foam pad and put back into a foam box, and it didn't break.
It was past eight o'clock and the sun was still radiating its residual heat.
The guide used tin foil to teach the two coaches how to wrap potato eggs.
After church, he began preparing the bonfire himself.
The wrapped potatoes were buried under the firewood pile.
The sunset at this moment is magnificent and grand.
As the sun slowly approaches the horizon, the entire desert begins to stage a symphony of color and light.
As the sun sets, the color of the sky gradually changes from bright blue to soft orange, and then slowly transitions to deep red and purple.
It's like an oil painter painting brilliant oils on the canvas of the sky.
The golden and red sunset glow is like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring, its wings spread all over the western sky.
The sand dunes, illuminated by the setting sun, create a play of light and dark.
The sun cast long shadows on the slopes of the dunes.
In addition to the shadows of the sand dunes, there was another couple - Lele holding Wei Wuya's hand and running towards the sand ridge.
Their shadows add infinite vitality to the lonely desert.
Sometimes they separate, one long and one short, sometimes they entwine, sometimes they overlap, leaving only a shadow...
Luo Qingyang stood in the distance, holding his SLR camera, pressing the shutter button from time to time to take a picture.
"Tsk tsk tsk... you really know how to torture a dog!"
Ye Qianyu brought some beautiful dresses and scarves.
When Mu Xiaoguang was pursuing her, he often took her to the Gobi Desert and the desert.
She knows very well how beautiful it is to take photos under the sunset here.
When the sun completely sank into the horizon, the sky quickly darkened and the first stars began to twinkle in the sky.
As night falls, more and more stars dot the deep blue sky, like countless sparkling diamonds.
The galaxy is like a dream.
Tranquility, pure tranquility!
There is no sound.
The bonfire was lit and the eight people gathered together.
As night fell, the temperature dropped sharply. I put on a coat and sat by the campfire, feeling warm again.
"It's worth it! My butt is almost broken!" he exclaimed.
Lele rested her head on Wei Wuya's arms and lay directly on the sofa.
The sand is fine and soft, very comfortable.
The boundless galaxy seems to be within reach.
"When I was a kid, I actually often crossed the desert! But it was always during the day," Lele said suddenly.
"Ah? What are you doing?" Wei Wuya leaned over and asked.
"My grandparents' home is in the old forest farm west of the Heisha River."
"Oh!"
“It takes seven hours to get there from our home by road.
But if you cross the desert next to the Black Sand River, it only takes more than three hours.
We set off at dawn and arrived around ten o'clock when the sand was hot to the touch.
My mother rarely goes back to her parents' home.
Sometimes my grandparents miss us, so my sister and I would walk to their house on weekends.”
"Aren't you scared?"
“I’m scared. But my sister and I have a plan.
We counted beetles, sand tigers, ants, and occasionally scorpions we encountered in the desert.
Focus all your attention on looking for the little life under your feet, and you won’t feel afraid or tired.
Beetles crawl very slowly, are mostly black, and have very hard shells;
The sand tiger crawls very fast and disappears in a flash. If it weren't for the crawling traces, we often can't be sure whether we have really seen it.
Scorpions are the scariest. Every time I see them, I jump up in fear and hug my sister tightly."
"Sounds interesting."
“Well, it’s pretty nice thinking about it now.
We are more afraid of the Black Sand River than the desert!
The river doesn't seem to be flowing fast, but it is full of undercurrents and quicksand traps.
When I was little, the villagers often said there was a water ghost there, and that it would catch people every year. I was very scared when I saw it, and I would avoid it as far as possible.
"I've heard about it too."
......
"It smells so good..."
"The chicken is ready!" the guide shouted.
The aroma of fruit wood smoke, the aroma of burnt meat, the aroma of spices, and the most intense is the aroma of fat from roasted chicken...
It attracted everyone's attention and made them salivate.
"Will we attract wolves? Hahaha!" Luo Qingyang teased while gnawing on a chicken leg.
"Wolves, there really are!" The guide said calmly, which made Luo Qingyang uneasy.
"what!!!!!"
"Hahaha, don't be afraid, you're so lucky to see it!"
Everyone was talking and laughing, eating, drinking and chatting.
After eating, the guide moved the fire to the side and took out the potato eggs.
The original cooking method leaves only the purest food aroma.
Eat and drink enough.
Luo Qingyang pulled the coach and guide together and started talking about the project, and Lele also joined in.
"Driving is fun! If we were to hike here, we'd probably be ripped of skin!"
Luo Qingyang said with a smile.
"Well, if we hike, the distance is a bit too far, unless we take a car all the way back, but the cost will be very high." The coach on the side agreed.
“But it’s not that far, and the experience isn’t enough!”
"These are actually very easy to master. It depends on the students' situation!" Lele interrupted.
"If the student is in good physical condition, run farther. If the student is not so good, set a shorter distance."
"That makes sense!" Luo Qingyang nodded.
"More importantly, what is the purpose of setting up such a project?" Lele frowned and thought.
"I've looked at your previous plans, and they basically all focused on: tempering willpower, leadership, and teamwork!
It’s quite broad and general.”
Lele sat down on the sand dune.
There is no wind and the night is slightly cool.
"The last desert island survival activity gave me a great shock. Afterwards, I often thought about it.
Why do these financially independent bosses spend money to seek abuse?
What are they looking for?
Why search this way?
Are the courses we set up so they can find them?
Did we guide them to find it?
Or do they find it themselves through activities?"
A coach chimed in:
"We are a training organization and professional trainers. To demonstrate our value, of course we should guide them to find it!"
Lele smiled and said, "It doesn't really matter. What matters is whether we can find it."
Luo Qingyang clasped his left hand on his philtrum, supported his chin, and fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, he asked, "What do you think?"
Lele looked at the starry sky, the dark night in the distance, and the fine sand under his feet. He scooped it up with his hands and let it fall gently.
I can think of a few points for you to consider:
First: Focus on the present moment
The Buddha said:
When I am walking, I know that I am walking;
When I am living, I understand that I am living;
When I sit, I understand that I am sitting;
When I go to bed, I realize that I am lying down.
In simple terms: Don’t look back at the past, don’t look forward to the future, just focus on the present!
In psychology, we call it awareness.
From the top of your head to your toes, be aware of the sensations in your body inch by inch.
Feel the skin getting hot, sweaty, painful, vibrating, or numb...
Don’t react rationally, just feel!
The idea conveyed is: walk, as long as you walk, there will be a way! "
