Camel caravan from Hami (Shalihumbarui)

The wild geese in the Tianshan Mountains are calling in the sky (hey Arimei, Arimei)

Desert Footprints Pair (Shari Humbari)

Desert Footprints Pair (Shari Humbari)

Hey~~~~~"

In the melodious and moving camel bell, a rough song sounded, and the loud voice echoed in the desert for a long time, hearing that Zhuang Rui and the others were in good spirits, and the scorching sun on their heads seemed to become weak. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brother Mengzi, good job, let's have another ......"

Zhuang Rui applauded loudly, not to mention, the song sung by Mengzi was written by Wang Luobin and reinterpreted by Daolang, it is really the same thing, there is a hint of hoarseness in the rich singing, if it is accompanied by accompanying music, Zhuang Rui believes that Mengzi is not much worse than Daolang singing.

"Hehe, just sing casually, don't be idle and ugly......"

Mengzi smiled innocently, his favorite thing to listen to is Daolang's songs, and he likes to roar a few times when he has nothing to do.

"Brother Mengzi, this singing won't be heard by the people in front, right?"

Xiao Jia sat on a camel behind the fierce son, his whole face was covered by a gauze scarf, and he was wearing a big sunglasses on his eyes, and he looked weak when he spoke.

Following the camel team of Erdan and others, I went around in this desert for two days, although along the way Zhuang Rui also found some relics where ancient people lived under the desert, but the value is not great, and there is no point in excavation.

Although the desert scenery is good, it will inevitably feel boring after watching it for a long time, and the climate temperature difference in the desert is very large, and the eggs can be boiled in the sand during the day, but at night they have to wear coats, which makes everyone extremely uncomfortable.

What's more, there is a shortage of water in the desert, although the four camels have a lot of water bladders, but they are all drinking, not to mention bathing in the past two days, even washing their faces has become a luxury, and everyone seems to be covered with a layer of yellow sand and becomes gray.

Mengzi wanders in the desert all the year round, but he doesn't feel anything, but Zhuang Rui and others are different, the excitement when they first entered the desert has long disappeared, and even Xiao Jia, who likes to talk the most, licks his lips with his mouth and becomes like gold.

Mengzi stopped singing and said with a smile: "We are dozens of miles away from them, and we can't hear ......."

Zhuang Rui looked at his watch, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and in two hours, it was estimated that it would be dark, he clamped the camel between his legs, walked a few steps to catch up with Mengzi, and said: "Brother Mengzi, let's go back and find a camp to live in, and follow up tomorrow for another day, if they don't go to the ruins of the ancient temple, let's go by ourselves......"

Erdan's caravan has been wandering in the desert for a few days, and Zhuang Rui is also a little impatient, he believes that as long as he can find the ruins of the ancient temple, even if there is anything greasy in it, the Japanese will not want to get a favor.

"I guess they should enter the quicksand area tomorrow, that kid left me a password, if they are still going around in circles tomorrow, let's go ...... by ourselves"

Mengzi tracked Erdan's camel team this time, and he didn't spend much effort at all, don't look at Erdan's tone of voice at that time, in fact, he didn't have a score in his heart, and every time he camped, he would leave some secret notes to Mengzi.

As for Mengzi changing his mind and being willing to go to the quicksand area, it is thanks to "Brother Kong Fang", Zhuang Rui discussed with Mengzi yesterday, if he can find the ruins of the ancient temple, Zhuang Rui is willing to pay him 100,000 RMB.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, although the novel talks about what kind of heroes value righteousness and light wealth, but people live in this world, what do you eat, drink, and sleep without spending money?

"Hey, there's a cactus up ahead......"

Xiao Jia, who was sitting on the camel, suddenly shouted loudly, and everyone looked up, and sure enough, forty or fifty meters in front of him, there was a low cactus.

"Haha, everyone's lucky, we're camping here today......"

Mengzi whistled, several camels quickened their pace, came to the place where cacti grew, and after everyone got off the camels, Mengzi commanded the camels to form a round arch with about twenty square meters inside.

"Brother Zhuang, lend me a shovel to use the next ......" Mengzi didn't wait for Zhuang Rui to answer, so he pulled down a sapper shovel from the camel carrying the supplies.

"Brother Mengzi, you don't need this thing, do you?"

Zhuang Rui, who was about to take down the tent, was a little puzzled, he had lived here for two days, and he hadn't seen a shovel for a tent?

Mengzi laughed when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, you're lucky, you can eat something hot today......

Zhuang Rui reacted quickly, and opened his mouth to ask, "Hmm, Brother Mengzi, you mean that there is underground water underneath here?"

In the desert, heat and drought are the number one killers for explorers, and most of the victims of desert expeditions are caused by lack of water and heat stroke. Once you get lost in the desert, you must ensure enough clean water to drink before you get out of the predicament, otherwise there is little hope of survival.

There is no water on the surface of the desert, and it is difficult to dig up water in most areas, but most of the desert is a basin, and there are many seasonal rivers in it, and there are also water sources, but I haven't encountered it in the past few days.

In the past few days in the desert, Zhuang Rui and his party have a new understanding of water, and the water bladder is kept by Mengzi, and only when he is very hungry and thirsty, Mengzi will allow everyone to drink a small sip.

Although I have heard that when people are hungry and thirsty, they will drink camels and even their own urine, but they did not have an intuitive understanding before, but now Zhuang Rui and others know that if there is really no water in this desert, that kind of thing is not impossible.

In just two days of desert life, everyone who had just come out of Huaqingchi Hot Spring for a few days had a feeling of ice and fire in the Nine Heavens, and they all felt a little fever on their faces when they remembered the previous waste of water.

"That's right, if there is enough water, you can probably wash your face......"

Mengzi laughed, walked to the side of the plants with a shovel, looked at it for a while, walked three or four meters to the right, and dug down with a shovel.

"Brother Mengzi, if there are plants, there must be water?"

In the first two days, their group could see a few green plants from time to time, but they had never seen such a behavior of Mengzi, Zhuang Rui did not see any difference between these cacti and the few days ago?

Looking at Mengzi's actions, the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes quietly seeped down through the surface of the sand.

Different substances will have different colors in Zhuang Rui's eyes, the sand shows a gray feeling in the aura, without a trace of aura, while the water is clear and transparent, and there will be a faint aura.

"Zhuang Rui, there are plants that do not necessarily mean that there is water, many plants can ingest trace amounts of water molecules from the air, but since Brother Mengzi said it, there will definitely be ......"

Compared with Zhuang Rui, Dr. Ren has more confidence in Mengzi, who left a deep impression on him when they were archaeological in desert habitat sites.

"It's really ......"

Before Dr. Ren's words fell, Zhuang Rui had already sensed that about one and a half meters deep under the sand, there was a trace of aura in the sand, although it was not much, but it was indeed the existence of water.

The sand is soft and digs up quickly, and after seven or eight minutes of work, the fierce man dug down more than a meter deep, and at this time, the sand shoveled out was already a little damp, and even condensed into a ball.

"Brother Mengzi, why don't you dig it?"

Xiao Jia stopped when he saw that Mengzi had dug down another half a meter, and couldn't help but ask strangely, there are obviously traces of water, why don't you dig down?

"There's already water......"

Mengzi replied casually, then took a transparent plastic sheet, covered the mouth of the pit he had dug, pressed it with sand on all sides, and then walked to the camel and took some of the water bladders that had been empty in the past few days.

"This ...... So that there will be water?" Xiao Jia stared at the sun that was about to set in the west, lying on the sand, looking at the sand pit covered with plastic sheeting, and muttering in his mouth.

"Hey, there's really water......"

After waiting for five or six minutes, Xiao Jia couldn't help it, and secretly lifted the corner of the plastic sheet, and found that a layer of water really oozed from the bottom of the sand pit, and the plastic cloth was also full of tiny water droplets, dripping a few grains from time to time.

"There is too little water here, you can get a little more water in this way...... "Mengzi smiled and covered the plastic sheet again.

The air and soil in the pit heat up rapidly, producing steam, and when the water vapor reaches saturation, it will condense into water droplets on the inside of the plastic sheeting.

Although Mengzi doesn't understand this common sense, he lives in the desert all the year round, and he is very handy at doing this kind of water extraction.

After about an hour, Mengzi lifted the plastic sheeting, took the water from the bottom of the pit from the scoop, poured it into the basin, and let everyone wash their faces.

Although there is groundwater in these waters, the salinity content is very high, and Mengzi took out some water from the bottom of the pit and put it into the pot that had been prepared and boiled it, so that Peng Fei looked at the pot.

The fierce son himself led the camels one by one and let them drink the water from the bottom of the pit, which people could not drink directly, but the camels could.

After the water boiled, you could clearly see the alkali block at the bottom of the pot, Peng Fei changed the boiling water to a container, poured out the alkali block, took out a few large pieces of air-dried meat, and put it in the pot to boil the broth.

Peng Fei also has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild, although he is not as familiar with the desert as Mengzi, but he is much stronger than Zhuang Rui and others, and he has done the things of camping and tenting in the past few days.
