Chapter 270: Mirage
"Where are we now? Jiang Qian picked up the kettle and took a sip, the weight of the kettle in his hand was already light, and there were only three or four mouthfuls of water left.
"I don't know where this is, this hellish place, everywhere is the same scenery, and it is harder to find the way than to the heavens. Jiang Yu complained.
"Yo, didn't someone say confidently that he knew how to go, and now he says he can't find the way?" Jiang Qian laughed.
"The situation was critical, I was talking nonsense, nonsense. Jiang Yu scratched his head unconsciously.
Jiang Qian rolled his eyes and looked around first. Suddenly, an oasis appeared in front of me.
"Look there, there's an oasis. Jiang Qian shook Jiang Yu violently.
Jiang Yu was almost stunned by him, slapped his hand away, and looked at it, it was really an oasis.
"It's saved!" Jiang Yu shouted, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the off-road vehicle made a loud roar and flew towards the oasis.
Just as they were approaching the oasis, the oasis suddenly blurred and disappeared, leaving the two dumbfounded.
"It turned out to be a mirage. Jiang Qian said disappointedly.
Jiang Yu slapped the steering wheel hard and burst into a rough mouthful.
"How much supplies do we have left now. Jiang Yu asked.
Jiang Qian looked back at the equipment they had moved to the back seat and said, "There is still the last bottle of water left, and the dry food can last for two days at most." ”
After saying that, Jiang Yu suddenly spread out on his seat.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to die of thirst now. Jiang Yu muttered to himself.
"It's not over yet, isn't there anything to eat, and if you don't know how to orient, you can meet the oasis. Jiang Qian comforted on the side.
"I didn't know how to go on the road, and I met a hammer. Jiang Yu said.
Jiang Qian looked at the endless desert around him, and sighed in his heart, indeed, he didn't know how to walk the road, so he could only leave this ghost place.
Jiang Qian suddenly remembered the plot of a TV series, in which the protagonist was in a similar situation to himself, and finally walked out of the desert.
He thought carefully about how the hero got out of the desert, and after a while, he remembered that the hero was in a desperate situation, and finally planned to fight, threw the shoe into the air, and walked in the direction of the tip of the shoe, and then he got out of the desert, maybe he could try it.
"Senior brother, do you dare to bet with me. Jiang Qian said.
"Bet on what. Jiang Yu turned his head and was listless.
"Gamble your life. Jiang Qian said, got out of the car, took off his shoes and threw them into the air, and when he came down, the tips of his shoes were already pointing to their right.
"We're going in that direction, we don't know where the road is anyway, so we might as well give it a go. Jiang Qian pointed to the right and said.
Jiang Yu's eyes were shining, he sat up straight, looked at Jiang Qian, and lowered his hand halfway, saying: "Okay, I'll make a bet with you, anyway, if you lose, it's just a death, I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman and get in the car now." ”
After Jiang Qian got into the car, Jiang Yu started the off-road vehicle and headed in the direction Jiang Qian pointed to.
After driving for most of the day, a tribe seemed to appear in the field of vision of the two.
"Senior brother, look, where there is a stone monument, will it be our destination? Jiang Qian pointed to a stone tablet standing in the tribe and said, the stone tablet was engraved with several large characters, not modern Chinese, but ancient Chinese, which seemed to be small seals.
Jiang Yu perked up and sped up his speed towards the tribe.
"Hopefully it's not a mirage anymore. Jiang Qian prayed in his heart.
Soon, they were in front of the tribe, a real tribe, not a mirage!
The two of them were about to cry, and how many dangers they had experienced along the way in order to get here, and finally arrived.
A group of people came out of the tribe, all armed with some weapons, swords, swords and spears, all sorts of things, looking at them in a stern formation.
Jiang Yu stopped the car not far in front of the tribe, got out of the off-road vehicle with Jiang Qian, and said loudly: "We have no malicious intentions. ”
"Do they understand us? Jiang Qian was a little unsure, what if the other party couldn't understand their words and thought they were here to rob, so they surrounded them and poked a few holes in them.
"It's okay, follow me and do a move, it's a non-threatening action in the world. Jiang Yu said, and raised his hands above his head after speaking.
…… Jiang Qian was a little speechless, but he still followed Jiang Yu to make moves.
Seeing them raise their hands, the atmosphere of those people in the tribe was much more relaxed.
An old man in a white robe was helped out of the crowd by a beautiful girl.
"What are you doing? The white-robed old man asked them in a language they didn't understand.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Qian glanced at each other, looking confused, what was this talking about, how could they not understand.
"Don't you understand me," the old man asked again, but they still didn't understand.
Jiang Qian's heart moved, since the stone tablet here was engraved with a small seal, then their language might be in the language of more than two thousand years ago, so he asked the system to use the language of more than two thousand years ago for him, and it cost him ten merit points.
Now, he can understand what the old man said.
"Old man, we have no ill will, we are here to find something. Jiang Qian said in the same language as the old man.
"Something. The old man's eyes flashed and he said.
"The Moonstone. Jiang Qian said.
The old man's hand shook, turned around in the twilight, and said a word, driving them away.
The tribesmen behind him took up arms against them.
Just then, a woman approached with a seven or eight-year-old child in her hand.
The child's eyes were closed, not knowing what was going on.
"Patriarch, my child is dead, save her. The woman cried.
"Whoever has water in their house, take it out quickly, and save the child first. The white-robed old man said.
Everyone else shook their heads.
Jiang Qian saw that the child's face was thin and his lips were cracked, which should be caused by long-term lack of water, and he must replenish water quickly, otherwise it will be dangerous.
He immediately ran back to the car, took out the last bottle of water, unscrewed it and handed it to the woman.
"Feed him water at once, or he'll die." Jiang Qian said.
The woman hurriedly fed the child water, and after a few sips of water, the child's eyelids moved slightly, and it seemed that he was out of danger.
"Hold him and rest. The old man said.
The woman thanked Jiang Qian and left with her child in her arms.
The old man looked at Jiang Qian deeply, and finally sent down his tone and said, "You can come with me." ”
With that, he went deeper into the tribe.
Jiang Qian hurriedly beckoned Jiang Yu to follow.
"My clan is not from the desert, but in the pre-Qin period, in order to escape the war, the whole clan moved here. The old man said as he walked.
Jiang Qian secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, it turned out to be a remnant of the Qin Dynasty, and their ancestors were also quite courageous, daring to take their clansmen to move to this kind of place where birds don't.
"Originally, there was a perennial well for us to survive, but a few days ago, the well suddenly stopped watering, and the water in the tribe was cut off, and then you saw that because of the lack of water, several people died in the tribe, and today you saved our children, and you are a friend. The old man took them to a wooden house and beckoned them to sit down.
"Seeing death and not saving is not my criterion for being a man, since I have the opportunity to be that child, I will naturally do my best to help. Jiang Qian said.
The old man smiled on his face, nodded and said, "The moonstone you are looking for is not available at the moment, and it will only appear when it is in the state of the full moon."
