Chapter 881: Finding the Water Source
"Ye Zi, you teach me to use two hands, please!" Wang Kaixuan looked excited.
"Wait for the opportunity. Ye Xiang didn't refuse this time.
"Okay!" Wang Kaixuan was so happy that he almost didn't jump.
"Comrade Xiaoye, it's good that you're okay. Professor Chen walked over and said.
At this time, Ye Xiang didn't want to pay attention to these pit goods, and walked directly to An Liman's side: "Old man, let's hurry up!"
"Hmm. An Liman nodded.
So the people mounted their camels and continued to walk along the Ziduyan River as planned......
Another day passed quickly, although there was not much danger, but the supplies became less and less, especially fresh water, everyone was thirsty and only swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and even no saliva, so they took out the kettle and took a small sip.
At this moment, everyone stopped and began to rest again: "Old brother." ”
Professor Chen's voice was a little hoarse and weak, and he said to An Liman: "We have a real problem now, we are about to cut off the water, and we urgently need to find a water source to replenish drinking water." ”
Everyone else also looked at An Liman, and even Ye Xiang was thirsty.
An Liman's face was a little embarrassed, and he was a little ashamed: "I, we seem to be going back." ”
When everyone heard An Liman's words, their faces suddenly changed: "What is the direction of return?"
"How did you go back?"
Everyone started talking.
"When we dodged the black sandstorm yesterday, we were already running in the wrong direction, and today we are running in a mess, I think we have deviated from the direction, and it is still in the opposite direction! Is there a map?" An Liman explained first, and then asked.
Everyone hurriedly handed the map to An Liman.
Anliman spread the map on the ground and began to study it carefully.
"How's that? Can you know where to find water? Ye Xiang squatted down and asked An Liman.
"Now I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south, can you tell the difference?"
Ye Xiang has been a bit of a road idiot since he was a child, and under normal circumstances, he sometimes can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, not to mention now, he hurriedly waved his hand. Others also began to recall the route they had run at the beginning, but unfortunately they couldn't tell it anymore.
"What then, our water can only last a day now!" Professor Chen said anxiously.
Shirley Yang also squatted down and said to An Liman: "Only you are the most experienced here, let's think of a way!"
Hu Bayi also looked at the map at this time, pointed to a place, and asked An Liman: "Old man, we are here, there is a river in this location, can there be water here?"
"I can't say, I'll have to go and see to find out. It's the windy season, the desert is windy and sandy, the dunes move fast, and where there was water last year, this year, it may be buried in the sand. ”
"Our water doesn't last long, we can't be too risky. Professor Chen continued.
Sadipon comforted everyone on the sidelines: "If we save a little more water, it should last three days." ”
"Yes, yes. Chu Jian added on the side: "If the female comrades and Professor Chen really can't hold on, we can actually kill camels." ”
An Liman couldn't help but change his face when he heard that he was going to kill the camel, and looked at Ye Xiang on the side, he promised not to hurt his camel.
"It's absolutely not okay to kill camels!" Ye Xiang said very resolutely: "I promised An Liman to ensure the safety of his camels." ”
"But, people are going to die, why do you keep camels?" Chu Jian felt very puzzled and argued.
"I just can't say no. After Ye Xiang finished speaking, he looked at An Liman again: "Old man, think about it again, you have been walking in the desert for so many years, it is impossible not to know a few hidden water supply places, right?"
An Liman was silent for a while, and sighed: "I really don't know here." ”
"Okay, then let's go back and follow the original route, and you will lead the way. Ye Xiang turned around and shouted, "Let's go back the way we came, everyone hold on a little longer, and save some water to drink." ”
"That's it. ”
The people mounted their camels again, followed Anliman, and turned around.
After walking for a while, An Liman looked a little wrong, stopped, patted the camel under the seat, and asked softly, "Xiaohong, do you remember this place?"
"Old man, what's wrong?" Hu Bayi hurriedly asked when he saw An Liman stop.
An Liman signaled Hu Bayi not to speak, climbed off the camel, looked around, quickly walked to Ye Xiang's side, pulled him aside, and said: "This is the place where the white camel saved my life in the first place, and there should be a water source nearby." ”
Ye Xiang heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How far is it?"
"Go over the sand dunes in front of you. ”
Ye Xiang nodded and shouted at the team behind: "Everyone hold on a little longer, there is a water source in front!"
"Really? Brother Ye. ”
"Comrade Xiao Ye, is there really water?" everyone was overjoyed to hear the news.
Under the leadership of An Liman, everyone quickly moved towards the goal, the past two days were almost thirsty to death, their throats were about to smoke, and the thought of having cool fresh water to drink immediately, couldn't help but swallow saliva.
"In front of you is the ruins of a city with a well. An Liman pointed into the distance and said.
After walking for a while, there was a stone building in front of me: "The well is inside." ”
Ye Xiang got off the camel and instructed: "Everyone wait here, Lao Hu and I will go in and have a look, in case there is danger." ”
After saying hello to Hu Bayi, the two walked towards the ruins.
Everyone waited anxiously outside, and after a while, Hu Bayi ran out like crazy: "There is water!
When Professor Chen and the others heard this, they shouted excitedly: "Great, we have been saved, there is water, haha." Then he also got off the camel, took the kettle, and ran in with Hu Bayi.
Anriman knelt on the ground and prayed, thanking God for giving him water to drink.
Everyone filled up with water and prepared to set up camp here, lit a bonfire, drank Shirley Yang's treasured vegetable soup, and felt alive again......
"Miss Yang, you have hidden it deep enough, and you will only take it out now. Wang Kaixuan drank the soup and complained.
"It is to take it out in such a difficult time to better reflect its value. Shirley gave Wang Kaixuan a blank look.
Hu Bayi also looked at Wang Kaixuan and said: "Come on, don't complain, it's good to drink some, who would have thought that we were still uncertain about life and death half a day ago?"
Ye Xiang suddenly stood up and pulled Hu Bayi, motioning for him to come over.
"What's the matter, Ye Zi, suddenly called me over?" Hu Bayi looked at Ye Xiang curiously.
"Don't you feel that there is a tomb in this area?" Ye wanted to know that there was a tomb under the well, so he asked Hu Bayi, because he would find out about it soon.
"What did you say?" Hu Bayi asked with some surprise.
"Take the compass and take a good look at the sky!"
