Chapter 1110: Self-help

"Well, be careful, I'll go over and see ...... first"
Zhuang Rui knew that the width of this place had already left the quicksand area, so he pretended to take a few steps, picked up the stone, stomped on the sand, and said, "It's not quicksand here, let's take a few steps further......
This is the edge of the quicksand area, it is still dangerous if the distance is too close, Zhuang Rui walked forward for more than thirty meters before stopping, took out a small flag and planted it on the ground, and said to Peng Fei: "Call them over, wait for me to explore the way in front, let the camel team follow behind......"
Although Zhuang Rui clearly knows the terrain in front of him, there is no difference between this quicksand and ordinary yellow sand on the surface, if there is no one in front of him to explore the way, it is estimated that no one will dare to swagger on the camel.

"Oh no, Professor Man fell into the quicksand......"
Just as Peng Fei turned around and was about to greet everyone, Erdan's voice suddenly came, which made Zhuang Rui's heart tighten, and following the prestige, Erdan, Mengzi and others were running towards Professor Man's location.
"Erdan, don't get close, damn, I knew that Professor Man would come here......"
Zhuang Rui shouted, and ran over one foot deep and one foot shallow in the sand, and when he reached the place where Professor Man fell into the quicksand, the people who were originally waiting on the sand dunes had already surrounded him.
"Teacher Man, does it matter, do we need to do something?"
Seeing that the quicksand only swallowed the root of Professor Man's thighs and did not continue to sink, Zhuang Rui breathed a sigh of relief, and after looking at the terrain on all sides with his aura, he couldn't help but cry and laugh a little.
It turned out that this piece of quicksand was in the shape of a gourd's mouth, protruding a little bit outward, and it happened to be stepped on by Professor Man, which was considered his bad luck.
"I'm fine, Xiaozhuang, you stand back, stand back a little more......"
Compared with the panic of the surrounding people, Professor Man, who fell into the quicksand, was calm, and there was no panic on his face, but he spoke in a small voice, as if he was afraid of causing a shock and causing his body to sink.
"Professor Man, this ...... How did this come out?"
I heard Professor Man say before that he couldn't deadlift, and Zhuang Rui didn't know how to rescue him.
"It's okay, Xiaozhuang, help me find a one-meter-sized hardwood board to ......"
Professor Man tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, and at the same time leaned forward slightly, so that his abdomen was also attached to the sand, which is somewhat the same as in the water, the larger the area touching the sand, the greater the buoyancy will be.
"Hardwood?, Mr. Man, do you think this thing will be successful?"
Professor Man's request made Zhuang Rui scratch his head a little, ran back to the camel and rummaged for a long time, but could only take out a foldable aluminum alloy plate from under the tent and hand it to Professor Man.
After Professor Man took the alloy plate, he spread it on the sand surface, and the movement was very gentle, and the density of the alloy plate seemed to be lower than that of quicksand, and it did not sink when placed on the sand surface.
After laying the alloy plate, Professor Man spread his hands out, leaned forward, and lay on top of the alloy plate, while his legs moved slightly left and right in the quicksand, allowing the water and sand to seep into the squeezed out vacuum area as much as possible.
"Professor Man, you ...... How do you do that?"
Zhuang Rui and the others stood around, watching Professor Man pull out his legs little by little as if by magic, and couldn't help but widen their eyes, not understanding how he did it at all.
"Come out and talk about ......"
Professor Man shook his head slightly, and at this time, everyone also saw his movements clearly, and the yellow sand around Professor Man's body, which was originally moist and seemed a little sticky, became obviously soft and sparse under Professor Man's movements.
After more than half an hour, Professor Man finally got out of the quicksand and stood firm under Zhuang Rui's support.
Although Professor Man behaved very easily in this process, after standing on the ground, everyone could see that Professor Man's legs were shaking like a swing, and his face was a little pale, and it was obvious that the impact on his heart was not small.
"This ...... This is coming out?"
Erdan had seen the power of quicksand when it devoured camels, and now he felt a little unacceptable psychologically when Professor Man got rid of the quicksand so easily, and muttered to himself: "This ...... If I had known that this would be the case, Da Mao and Er Mao wouldn't have to die......"
"Stinky boy, get out of the way, don't talk about camels, it's just that your kid fell in, it's good to calm down......" After Professor Man took a sip of water, his spirit was a little more uplifted, and he scolded the second egg with a smile.
Professor Man was a little scared when he thought about it, when he just fell into the quicksand, his two legs seemed to be tied to a thousand pounds of heavy burden, dragging his body to sink, if he was an inexperienced person, he would definitely struggle desperately, and the outcome was naturally self-evident.
"Teacher Man, just like you did just now, you can get out of trouble?"
Mengzi is most concerned about this problem, he is begging for food in the desert, maybe he will encounter quicksand at any time, if he can learn the hand of Professor Man, it is the ability to save his life.
Professor Man nodded and said, "Yes, the first thing to pay attention to is that when you fall into the quicksand, lean your body back as much as possible......
The second point is to be like what I just did, don't panic, move gently, and move your feet gently in the quicksand, so that you can relieve the pressure on your body and let the sand slowly loosen......"
Although Professor Man is also the first time to fall into the quicksand, his theoretical knowledge is quite rich, coupled with his previous practice, he can be called an expert in quicksand, and he has passed on some of his experience to Mengzi and Erdan.
Zhuang Rui waited until Professor Man and Mengzi finished talking, and then said, "Teacher Man, I have found the field over there, why don't you take a rest first, let's go over in the afternoon......
"Have you found the field, let's go and see the ......"
Professor Man waved his hand, he has been working in the field all year round, and his health is relatively good, after a little rest, he has already relieved himself.
When he came to the place where Zhuang Rui planted the flag, Professor Man squatted down and observed it carefully for a while, and used a wooden stick to pick up the quicksand and surface two meters away from his body, and said: "Xiaozhuang, come and see, this sand surface can't be distinguished, but it's still a little different to pick up the sand......
"Well, that's a bit of a difference, we all used a stupid method just now......"
Zhuang Rui took a closer look, the yellow sand under the surface of the quicksand was different from the dry yellow sand on the ground, it was a little damp, in fact, there was no need to use stones to explore the way, just take a stick.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Professor Man shook his head and said, "It's early morning, if it's noon, it probably won't work......"
It almost doesn't rain in the desert, and even the yellow sand on the surface of the quicksand will become very dry after a few hours of scorching sun, so Professor Man said so.
"Well, let's hurry as soon as possible......"
I have been in the desert for several days, and now I am expected to find the ruins of the ancient temple, Zhuang Rui didn't want to delay any longer, and said at the moment: "Teacher Man, you sit on a camel to rest, and I will explore the way ahead......"
"Brother Zhuang, I'll come......"
Peng Fei snatched the wooden stick in Zhuang Rui's hand, this path-finding is a dangerous job, if you accidentally fall headfirst in the quicksand, the fairy will not be saved.
"Go, you're behind me......"
Zhuang Rui snatched the wooden stick angrily, if he let Peng Fei lead the way, he didn't know when he would be able to bypass this quicksand area.
After some disputes, in the end, Zhuang Rui still used the threat of not taking Peng Fei out in the future to win the job of exploring the way, and took the lead.
Walking in the desert is like stepping on a sponge, one foot deep and one foot shallow, thanks to Zhuang Rui's aura to recover his strength, it took nearly five hours to bypass this quicksand area.
"Look, there's an oasis ...... ahead"
Peng Fei followed Zhuang Rui for a while before, but he couldn't hold back and rode on the camel, he could see farther than Zhuang Rui on the camel, and the first one to see was in front of him, and a piece of vegetation appeared.
The appearance of vegetation indicates that there is soil in the sand in front of it, and Professor Man hurriedly greeted Zhuang Rui: "Xiaozhuang, it's okay, hurry up and ride a camel to rest......
Dr. Ren and others have a little understanding of Zhuang Rui's physical fitness, but along the way, they can see that Professor Man and others are speechless in their hearts, and they can walk in the desert for five or six hours in a row, which is almost beyond the limit of human physiology.
"It's okay, Teacher Man, let's rest here at night......"
Zhuang Rui approached the vegetation and found that around it, there were still several poplar trees that humans called "a thousand years of life without dying, a thousand years of death without falling, and a thousand years of immortality".
Probably because of the presence of a water source, these poplar trees, which are not very tall, still have green on their branches, and they are not dead.
"Okay, I didn't expect that there would be such a desert oasis in the North Gobi near this place, it seems that our work has not been done......
As an important plant in desert management, Professor Man has a good understanding of poplar trees, and after a cursory look, he judged the underground situation here, and said: "There must be a water source within four meters here, and it can be drunk directly......
Relying on the protection of the root system, as long as the groundwater level is not less than 4 meters, the poplar tree can live very freely, when the groundwater level falls to 6 to 9 meters, it can only show its joy and languishing.
If the water table is lowered, the poplar trees will have to say goodbye to the world and apply the proverb that they will not die for a thousand years, so as long as you see rows of fresh or dried poplars in the desert, you can judge that there was once a water source here.
