Shang Muli and Xu Qingliu reminded Shang Beikai that they had put a lot of thought into it this time, and it can be seen that the effect is very good and they have reached their expectations. Shang Beikai finally didn't get into a hurry, but seriously thought about what Xu Qingliu had just said.

Shang Muli and Xu Qingliu looked at each other and smiled, it's good that this ancestor can listen to it.

Xiao Jiti was originally very well-behaved, and this time he came out with the purpose of resolutely not causing trouble to Shang Muli's sister, so he listened to Xu Qingliu's words at once, and said that he would definitely be careful at night.

The treasure hunting group finished their meal in a hurry together, and tonight was the same as yesterday, with Xu Qingliu and Shang Beikai taking turns keeping vigil, while the children and women were sleeping.

The desert is not quiet at night, and the oasis is no exception, the darkness has ravaged the land, and the woods, which were once considered to be the spirit of life, are now shrouded in the darkness of the night, and they are dancing like evil spirits.

Xu Qingliu cheered up and looked around.

Gradually, some unusual sounds sounded around him, and Xu Qingliu was terrified.

Xu Qingliu grew up in the countryside, so he is no stranger to this kind of sound, which is the sound of snakes.

Xu Qingliu was glad that he had brought some medicine powder to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants, and now some snakes had shown their figures, wandering outside the encirclement of the medicine powder, but they never came in, as if they were afraid of something.

Xu Qingliu quietly entered the tent, took out a large bag of that powder, and held it in his hand for later use.

Last night, Xu Qingliu took out some firewood at the moment, and made a fire as fast as possible, through the firelight, Xu Qingliu could see that these snakes were not ordinary snakes, this was a pit viper unique to the desert, and it was poisonous, if Xu Qingliu remembered correctly, this should be an intermediary pit viper.

In fact, there are not many snakes outside the circle, only three, but this snake is poisonous, so even though there are only three, Xu Qingliu does not dare to act rashly, otherwise an accident will return to the world.

Xu Qingliu didn't dare to move, and of course those pit vipers didn't dare to move, and the two sides kept in a stalemate like this, until dawn, when those snakes quietly retreated.

Everyone woke up to Shang Beikai's screams.

"Ah~ahhhh

Shang Beikai shouted, and suddenly woke up.

Then quickly washed up and came out to find Xu Qingliu.

Anxiously said to Xu Qingliu: "Brother Xu Qingliu, I'm sorry, I overslept." ”

Xu Qingliu's eyes were already dark, but he shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

The more Xu Qingliu was like this, the more sad Shang Beikai became, and the more he blamed himself: "Brother Xu Qingliu, you too, why don't you wake me up, if you call me, I will definitely wake up." ”

Shang Beikai felt that Xu Qingliu forgave him for not sleeping well last night, so he deliberately didn't wake him up, wanting him to sleep a little longer and bear the hard work of the vigil himself.

But I have to say that Shang Beikai really thought too much, Xu Qingliu said lightly: "Last night, the pit viper attacked, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to deal with it, so I didn't wake you up." ”

Shang Mo was dumbfounded: "Pit ...... Pit viper?"

Xu Qingliu nodded: "Because we sprinkled anti-snakes, insects, rats and ants outside our tent, they didn't dare to come in, so they stayed outside and left in the morning." ”

Shang Beikai didn't know much about this kind of snake, and asked, "But why do these snakes come out at night and leave in the morning?" ”

It really happened that at this time, Shang Muli also happened to finish washing, came out of the tent, heard Shang Beikai's question, and explained to him: "Pit vipers are afraid of high temperatures, so they usually sleep in the cave during the day. ”

"Oh! I see. ”

Shang Beikai couldn't help but feel creepy at the thought that he had slept with a bunch of snakes for a night last night, and he was afraid for a while.

Shang Muli knew in his heart: "Sure enough, it turns out that this oasis is the chassis of the pit viper, no wonder there are no animals around, it seems that our luck is not bad, as long as we are careful, the pit viper should not be any threat to us." ”

Xu Qingliu nodded and said, "Fortunately, what we encountered was a pit viper, if it was really replaced by another animal, we might not have such good luck to come out." ”

Xiao Jiti also came out and said solemnly: "Brother Xu Qingliu is right, fortunately we have a way to deal with the poisonous tongue, otherwise we may have been poisoned by the pit viper last night, Abba said, the pit viper in this desert is the most poisonous." ”

Shang Muli had to start preparing for the next action, and asked: "Then let's move faster, let's hurry up and collect the materials we need, and then Xu Qingliu will go to rest, you didn't sleep all night last night." ”

When it came to Xu Qingliu, Shang Muli's eyes were full of distress.

Xu Qingliu did not refuse this arrangement, he would not fall into the way to collect supplies, he knew that he needed to rest now, otherwise he would definitely drag down Shang Muli when he left later.

This oasis is small in size, with an endorheic river in the center and a ring of trees around it.

Shang Muli The three of them all brought snake-repellent powder, and just in case, the three of them did not separate and went to get water together.

Shang Muli carefully led them through the woods, avoiding those places where the vegetation was strong, because even during the day, if someone disturbed the pit viper's rest, they would be attacked by the pit viper, so Shang Mouli and the two children did not dare to relax for a moment.

However, they also managed to reach the river, the river water is still clear here, and there is definitely no pollution, but the flow of the river is not large, Shang Mouli is worried that the salinity in the river water will be too high, so he dips a little bit and tastes it.

But I didn't expect the taste to be not very salty, so Shang Muli said to himself: "It seems that there should have been a rain here not long ago." ”

In fact, it will rain in the desert, but the rain in the desert will seep into the ground with the sand, or it will be dried directly by the Taiqing Stream, so if the rain is over, people can hardly tell that it has rained in the desert.

Shang Muli commanded Shang Beikai and Xiaomi Jiti to quickly fill the water, while he observed the surrounding environment on the side.

After they finished filling the water, Shang Muli said, "Anyway, it's still early, let's let Xu Qingliu sleep a little longer, let's go out and see if we can pick some olives." ”

As for the olives, Shang Beikai had seen a lot of them before entering the oasis, and he had already itched to pick them, but without his sister and Brother Xu Qingliu's permission, he didn't dare to run around.

But this time it was my sister who proposed to pick olives, and he immediately agreed excitedly, and said righteously: "That's right! Brother Xu Qingliu's vigil last night was too hard, we shouldn't disturb his rest! I very much agree with my sister's opinion, let's go pick olives." ”

Shang Muli can't guess what his younger brother is thinking, it is estimated that it is false to understand Xu Qingliu's hard work, and it is true that he wants to pick olives to play. So Shang Muli glanced at him.

Shang Beikai received his sister's eyes, touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Hey...... Hey...... Sister, don't look at me like this, I really want Brother Xu Qingliu to rest. Also, let's go and find the olives, I saw them when I came yesterday, so I'll take you to find them. ”

Shang Muli didn't bother to pick him up, nodded his head, and agreed to let him take him to find olives.

As soon as Shang Beikai heard that his sister agreed, he was simply happy and began to jump.

Although it is said that he went to pick olives, in fact, it was Shang Muli who took the two small ones out for a round.

Shang Muli stood next to him and watched the two children play carefree, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a beautiful arc, but when he played, Shang Muli looked at Taiqingliu was close to the top of his head, and estimated that it was almost noon, so he urged: "Have you picked it up almost, if it's almost over, let's go back." ”

Although Shang Beikai didn't have enough fun now, he could still divide the priorities of the matter, so he didn't play anymore, but cleaned up the olives he picked and replied, "Got it, sister, we'll be here soon." ”

Shang Beikai and Xiao Jiti hurriedly returned to Shang Muli's side and followed her back to the place where the tent was set up, Shang Beikai was responsible for waking Xu Qingliu up, and Shang Muli was responsible for getting food.

Lunch for four was simple, compressed biscuits with freshly picked olives.

For such a lunch, Shang Muli is also well thought out, although they can eat something, but it may not last long, compressed biscuits are not the best, but they are very easy to bring, so they bring more, and they can eat full, and there are olives at noon today, you can eat with olives, there will be a plus in taste, and it can also save their water resources.

Xu Qingliu followed Shang Yukai out of the tent, and saw Shang Muli preparing lunch, I don't know why, although life may be a little difficult now, but Xu Qingliu felt very satisfied, and inexplicably felt that there was a feeling that a husband would ask for nothing more if he had a wife.

After the four of them finished eating, they packed up their things and continued on their way.

"We'll start walking from now on, and we may be able to reach our destination for this treasure hunt in the evening, and if the tutorial is fast, we can arrive before dark, and if we walk slowly, we'll have to choose whether to go forward after dark. ”

Shang Muli looked at the map and reminded seriously.

Xu Qingliu did not agree to continue walking at night: "If you go at night, the danger is too great, many nocturnal animals in the desert will come out to forage, and we don't know the dangerous sections in this range at all, if we encounter any danger, the sensitivity of people's five senses in the dark will decrease, and it is very likely that they will not be able to avoid the danger." ”

What Xu Qingliu said was very reasonable, and Shang Muli nodded very agreeably.
