"It's time for me to leave overnight, and my current physical condition doesn't allow me to stop and rest. ”

Chu An's throat was a little hoarse, he knew very well that his body was a little weak, and in this case, he couldn't rest, because once he lay down, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get up again.

If he can't find a water source tomorrow and walks in that kind of hot weather, Chu An is afraid that he won't be able to persevere, this is not a matter of willpower, but the hardware of his body can't keep up with the software.

Chu An looked down at the little sand cat cowering at his feet, his big bright eyes stared straight at him, as if to prevent him from abandoning again, Chu An couldn't help but chuckle: "Are you hungry?"

"Meow~~"

The little sand cat jumped up and landed on Chu An's shoulder, its fleshy paw pointing at his arm, his eyes full of worry.

"I don't blame you. ”

Chu An chuckled softly, took out a piece of roast meat wrapped in leaves from his backpack, and poked its cerebellum, "Eat, we'll go on the road after eating, don't get lost again." ”

"Meow Meow~~"

The little sand cat nodded, biting the barbecue in her mouth, burrowing into the backpack, stretching out her little head, and looking at Chu An with a well-behaved face.

It knew that the shovel officer was injured, so it was very sensible and didn't bother to lie on his head.

"Good ~~"

Chu An touched its head, then put on his bag, looked for a large piece of firewood in the bonfire, and looked up at the starry sky.

Looking for the direction of the North Star, he made a cross frame on the North Star, determining which side of the south was on, "When you are traveling at night, you must always pay attention to whether you are going in the right direction, and the best way to navigate is to use the stars."

Find the location of the North Star, then use the extension of the cross frame to determine the direction. ”

Chu An held a torch in his right hand and lit up the road ahead, he said seriously: "I won't rest when I don't find the next ancient well, if you can persevere, I hope you can accompany me down, thank you!"

"Come on Chu Ye, we will always be with you. ”

"Fat Tiger, I know you're watching, tell that dead fat man, Lao Tzu will take leave tomorrow and won't go to work. ”

"Go to your sister's class, tomorrow Sunday. ”

"Overtime, I don't go overtime. ”

I don't know why, when the sailors heard Chu An say this, the softness in their hearts trembled, and they suddenly felt an inexplicable distress, he may not be as strong as he looks, but he has his own persistence.

The man who had brought them so much joy and knowledge in the past needed them now, and how could they abandon him.

………

………

Capital time, two o'clock in the morning.

The number of online people in the live broadcast room remains around 13 million, and even if someone has fallen asleep, they will not close the live broadcast room.

Chu An was carrying a bag and walking alone in the barren desert, suddenly the air was slightly cool, the tip of his nose was a little cold, and he looked up into the distance.

The silver moonlight sprinkled on the yellow sand, crystal clear, sparkling like a diamond.

"It's frosty. ”

Chu An searched as he walked: "According to the calculation of the route, I am almost now, I am about to reach the location of the third ancient well, I hope I can find it." ”

searched all the way, without deviating from the direction, Chu An walked out of the Z-shaped route and searched in a carpet way.

It is impossible for him to give up this ancient well, because his water source is running out, and he will not be able to hold on to the next water collection site.

An hour, two hours, like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Four o'clock in the morning,

Before he could finish his last sip of water, he finally found a familiar little sand dune, with a friendly touch of crimson at the top.

The sand was cleared, and the cover was lifted, revealing the ancient well called Tianji.

Chu An sniffed, his pupils shrank, and his face changed slightly, "Dry? ”

Undying, he picked up the bucket next to the wellhead and threw it down, it was empty, the bucket did not float on the water, and he was completely powerless.

Immediately afterwards, Chu An picked up another small pebble and threw it into the well, and it took two seconds before there was a sound, poof.

He glanced at the ancient well, then looked up into the distance, his face cloudy.

After a while,

Chu An made up his mind and said, "I must go down, judging from the sound of the stone just now." There was still water in the well, probably too much silt, blocking the dark river under the desert. ”

"Master Chu, don't, calm down. ”

"It's not that I dislike you, now you're half crippled, how can you go down? Besides, judging by the rope of the bucket, this thousand-year-old well is ten meters deep at its top. ”

Chu An shook his head when he heard this, and said, "The location of the next ancient well, with the current situation that there is no water source, I will definitely not be able to reach it."

What a half-crippled, you bad guys can't speak, it's not just an arm injury, it won't affect the palm, it's just that you can't use too much force. ”

“……”

The sailors were speechless for a while, a tough guy is a tough guy, and the wound of half of his forearm is just in his eyes?

Seriously,

This little wound.

Chu An didn't pay attention to it at all, all he was worried about was whether the wound would become infected.

After saying that, he pulled the rope on the bucket hard, tried the sturdiness, took out the sleeping bag in the backpack, cut it into strips of cloth, twisted it into a twisted shape, strengthened the bearing force on the rope, and extended the length of the rope at the same time.

Then, he fastened the rope to the mouth of the well, and packed up his things, "Everyone, I'll go down and have a look." ”

Switching to the first point of view, the bottom of the well is hollow, and the five are not visible, and it is as dark as the hellish ghost opening its bloody mouth.

Chu An endured the pain, holding a torch in his injured left hand, and pulling the rope tightly with his right hand, while also tying a flexible rappel knot around his waist.

"The eight-figure gourd downhill knot, make a downhill knot alone, as long as you tie this around your waist and wrap the rope, even if you are landing, you can also release your hands. ”

"During the descent, sit down with your hips, control the descent speed with the brake hand, try to keep your legs perpendicular to the stone wall, keep your knees straight, and lower your feet alternately......"

Check the fixed wellhead,

Chu An held the rope tightly, kicked his feet on the mossy stone wall, and slowly descended.

It's about three meters long,

He kicked the stone wall suddenly, and his face changed slightly: "I seem to have discovered something terrible, you see." ”

He approached with his torches, and pits appeared in the thick moss of the stone walls.

"It's not something that came from a latecomer, and the thick layer of moss is enough to prove it, as if it was specially built for climbing. Chu An guessed, a light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he slipped away without catching it.

"Barrage Protector..."

"Master Chu, don't scare me. ”

"Is this a horror studio?"

"In the middle of the night, I hid under the covers with my mobile phone, who thinks it's like that?"

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice...... Twenty-four words of mantra, suppressing all ghosts. ”

Hong Kong Zhen,

In the barren desert, near the middle of the night, thousands of years of ancient wells, mysterious footprints in the wells, what is the connection between all these cuts?
