Along this valley, the two continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, Liu Danqing stopped.

"Weiwei, come and see, what is the difference between this plant and the previous ones?"

Xiao Weiwei walked over and looked at a bunch of plants on the ground.

"The leaves of this plant are so thick, a bit like the leaves of a succulent, not like the grass leaves just now, which are thin and pointy. ”

Liu Danqing nodded and explained: "Yes, the leaves of this plant are almost the size of a yuan coin, which is very thick, but the surface of the leaves has a layer of oily skin, which can lock in moisture for it, and it does look like succulents." ”

"This plant only exists in the border areas close to Outer Mongolia in China, and is more distributed in Outer Mongolia. It has no Chinese name, only Mongolian name, directly translated into Chinese Chinese, it is called wild donkey juice, as the name suggests, it is a wild donkey's favorite food, and rich in juice, it is said that Mongolian herders in the past encountered this grass, often grab a handful, pinch out the juice, replenish their own water. ”

"Here, I have to complain about the art of naming the people of Outer Mongolia, wild donkey juice, even if it is called wild donkey grass, at least it doesn't sound so diaphragm. ”

Liu Danqing put the lunch box in his hand on the ground, grabbed a handful of wild donkey juice leaves with his right hand, pinched it tightly, and then grabbed some with his left hand and stuffed it into his right hand.

"Do you remember what I used to teach, the way to drink water from the water vine? We still use this method, raise our right hand a little higher, put our thumb outstretched out, put our mouth under our thumb, and pinch the wild donkey juice in our hands vigorously. ”

With the force of Liu Danqing's right hand, all the blue-green juice trickled down his thumb and dripped into Liu Danqing's mouth drop by drop.

"Well, it's a little sour, but it's still bearable, and it's not only hydrating, but it's also going to give us some vitamins. Micro, you taste. ”

Liu Danqing stretched out his hand to Xiao Weiwei's mouth, Xiao Weiwei opened her mouth, let a few drops of wild donkey juice drip into her mouth, and smashed it a few times.

"It's a little sour, but it's okay, I like the taste, but the juice is a little thicker, and the taste is not too good. ”

Liu Danqing nodded, raised his right hand to his mouth, squeezed some juice again and drank it, and threw away the leaf residue in his hand.

Xiao San gave a close-up of his right hand, only to see that the entire palm of his hand had been dyed turquoise by the juice of the wild donkey.

"Oh, I'll go, Master Qing, you don't need makeup to play zombies. ”

"The beautiful girl Jingjing gave Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Qing Ye, are you sure that grass juice can be drunk?

"Sisters, I just gave Danqing and Weiwei a spaceship - Master Qing, you won't be able to wave it this time, look at what kind of food you can make in the Gobi, wahahahahahaha. ”

"Sister is a spaceship given to Danqing and Weiwei by the trench door - in this issue, if any star rushes to go, it will be a real cow X. ”

Fan Ye seems to have been mixed with the first issue of the food version of the island to survive, and he is in a state of panic, and he wants to see others go to the Gobi to suffer crimes to increase his sense of happiness.

"It's too tiring to drink the water in the wild donkey juice all the time, and it will also affect the speed of our travel, so our lunch box can play a role. ”

Liu Danqing separated the two lunch boxes stacked together and handed one to Xiao Weiwei, as for the heating bag in the lunch box, he had already put it in the pocket of his outdoor jacket.

"We can now hold the lunch box in one hand and a handful of wild donkey juice in the other, squeeze it as we go, squeeze all the juice into the lunch box, and then drink it, so that we will not delay the trip. ”

"Right now, I'm happy with my decision to bring a lunch box, and sure enough, being in the wilderness, anything that might be useful is important. ”

Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei grabbed a large handful of wild donkey juice and squeezed it as they walked, and the small bush of wild donkey juice was almost ripped off by the two of them, leaving only one or two small missing leaves, trembling in the wind, accusing the injustice of grass.

A large handful of wild donkey juice leaves can actually squeeze out a small mouthful of juice, but at least it saves them a small amount of water.

Unfortunately, this small saliva can only be swallowed directly, and the maximum utilization efficiency cannot be achieved.

Compared with this small waste, Liu Danqing and Xiao Weiwei are still willing, after all, the green and sour taste of wild donkey juice is really not delicious.

Along the way, the wild donkey juice is really not less, not only did the two no longer drink the water in the water bottle, but also replenished a lot of water, and adjusted the electrolytes that were a little out of balance.

"I'm glad I was able to find these wild donkey juices to rehydrate a little bit, but it's just a drop in the bucket compared to our daily consumption, so we're going to keep going, climbing up the mountain, and we can't rest easy until we find the real water source. ”

Walking in the valley, coupled with the scorching sun slanting westward, there is often a rock to help block the sun, which is much easier than being on the flat ground at noon, which makes the two of them walk much brisker.

By the time the climb phase comes in, this ease is gone.

Ascending to the high ground, there was no obvious path, and the two could only walk and search, constantly turning and rounding around the boulders.

And underfoot, there are countless large and small gravels, walking on them, making a creaking sound.

"Weiwei, be careful when walking, this kind of place, it is very easy to break the ankle, resulting in a decrease in mobility, which is not a good thing. ”

Xiao Weiwei nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll pay attention, but Qingqing, why is this kind of mountain full of gravel, and torrents can't beat all the big stones into gravel, right?"

"Weathering, these are the effects of weathering, because there is no vegetation, the rocks are directly exposed outside, and they are attacked by the wind all year round, which will produce a weathering effect, and in the event of a flash flood, the small stones and sand will be washed down the mountain, and what remains on the sand slope is naturally these gravels. ”

"So we have to be very careful, because some of the rocks that look huge can be very fluffy and can easily fall apart after weathering. ”

The two of them struggled to climb up the mountainside, stopped, and rested for a while.

Liu Danqing turned around, pointed to the surrounding environment, and said: "Look, all around us are yellow, monotonous yellow, and when the sun fades, it will return to its original color, brown." ”

"Brown, lifeless color, without a hint of vitality, oh, a few strands, just a few stray camel thorns, which are the favorite of camels, but to us, of no use. ”

"I remember playing a game called Heroes of Invincible before, and there was a race in it called the undead, and their native color was brown, which was different from the cyan of the Terrans, the green of the Elves, and even the native colors of the Barbarians were gray, not this brown. ”

"Sure enough, this is no man's land, a no-man's land where even barbarians can't survive, and I'm afraid that only the undead who don't need to eat, drink, or sleep can survive in this kind of ghost place. ”

Xiao Weiwei patted Liu Danqing's arm and said with a smile: "Qingqing, don't be discouraged, you still say it yourself, the most important thing to survive is to maintain an optimistic attitude." ”

Liu Danqing nodded and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still slightly strong, we have to be optimistic, go, continue." ”
