Chapter 375: Lost

Fang Ming jumped onto a relatively tall stone and carefully looked at his surroundings.

Standing high and seeing far, this sentence is really not wrong, there was a relatively low desert before when he walked without seeing the surrounding environment, now standing relatively high, he found that there are many large and small stones around, basically most of them are buried in the sand, and a small part is exposed on the ground.

"What's going on? Why was Niu Lao able to find water in such a place? ”

Fang Ming slowly looked at the place where the water was found, his brows twisted and looked at it for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, he found a problem, that is, the place where the water was found was the lowest in the entire surrounding environment, basically forming a small basin centered on the place where the water was found.

"What if...... If it rains, the surrounding water will eventually flow down and accumulate in the place where the water is found, so if there is water around, it can only be that place. ”

Fang Ming jumped off the stone, ran to Niu Ping's side, and explained the reason he thought of.

"Heh, that's right, that's it, Fang Ming, it's not easy to survive in the desert, especially water, that's the most important thing. Most people think that it is difficult to find water in the desert, so they subconsciously focus on plants such as cacti, of course, there will be water, but there are many other plants in the desert. There is water in the novel place. If we look closely, it's still possible to find water, and this time it was. ”

Fang Ming nodded lightly and said, "Elder Niu, you are not wrong at all. It seems that no matter where you are, as long as you observe a lot and use your brain, you can find many solutions to the problem. ”

"Yes, it does."

Niu Ping pointed to the small pool of water that had accumulated in the pit and said, "In a place like the desert, this kind of water is actually far safer than the water that appears directly on the ground. ”

"Why?"

Zhao Zhuzi couldn't wait to take a sip of the water that came out just now, and at this time, Niu Ping seemed to mean that not all kinds of water in the desert could be drunk, which made him immediately startled.

"It's very simple, it's not just people who want to drink water in the desert, but also a lot of animals, once the water source is polluted by animals, including their human feces, if people drink it, they may have problems, even if they are healthy, they may not survive in the desert, let alone get sick. And the water that appears on the ground is often polluted by animals, so when it is drunk

Be very careful. ”

"However, this kind of water dug out from under the sand is different, they have very little chance of being contaminated, and because the sand also has a filtration function, even impurities are filtered out, so this kind of water is relatively safe."

Indeed, such water is of course very safe to bury in the ground.

"It's really full of learning."

Although it is unlikely that you will never go into the desert again in your life, it is still good to learn a little more knowledge, and the method taught by Niu Ping is very simple to put it bluntly, and it is no secret if you wear it at all, but if you don't say it, how can you imagine that there is water in such a place?

Zhao Zhuzi filled the empty kettle, and Fang Ming and the three of them continued on their way.

"That's not right."

As he walked, Fang Ming suddenly stopped, the three of them were connected by ropes, and when he stopped, Zhao Zhuzi and Niu Ping also stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Zhuzi looked at Fang Ming and tightened the backpack on his shoulders at the same time.

"This place...... We seem to have been here before. ”

Fang Ming's memory was amazing, as long as he had seen it once, he could write it down, and he remembered that he had already walked through this place in front of him once before.

"It can't be."

Zhao Zhuzi was stunned for a moment, "Walked through?" No, there is not a single footstep here, how can it be walked? ”

"It's a desert and it's windy, so even if we've walked through this place before, it's likely to be 'wiped out' right away, so you can't see it through this."

Niu Ping's face became serious, he was an old Jianghu, he just didn't pay attention to it before, but now after Fang Ming reminded him, he also felt that something was not quite right.

"There is sand everywhere in the desert, I think it's all the same, Brother Fang Ming, are you mistaken?"

Zhao Zhuzi looked around in disbelief, he didn't quite believe what Fang Ming said, how could this place in front of him be that he had been here before?

Fang Ming squatted down, pointed to a small stone next to him, and said, "This stone is green, I was still a little curious at the time, so I took a special look, and now I see it again, this is impossible, right?" ”

Scratching his head, Zhao Zhuzi said, "Could it be because such stones are very common in this desert?" ”

Shaking his head, Fang Ming said, "It's been a few days since I entered the desert, if I had seen such a stone before, then I wouldn't be so impressed." ”

In fact, because of his strong memory, Fang Ming had already determined that the three of them must have walked through this place in front of him before.

"Quite possibly!"

Niu Ping nodded, stood up and clapped his hands, and said, "The easiest way is for us to make a mark here now, walk again, and see if we have walked through." ”

This is a good way, Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi looked around, found a dead branch, and then used that stone, and the two things were pressed together.

After a day and a night, the exhausted Fang Ming, Niu Ping, and Zhao Zhuzi looked at the stones and dead trees in front of them in amazement, and at this time, they had already determined that they were indeed in big trouble, and the three of them walked back again.

", isn't it? Is there really such a thing? Walking and walking and walking back? ”

Zhao Zhuzi's eyes widened, looking at all this in front of him in disbelief, in the "legend", there is indeed such a place in the world, or what kind of fifth-class gossip array can arrange such a formation that people can't get around, but the problem is that this place in front of him is just a place in the desert, how can such a situation occur?

"Pillar, take out the compass."

Niu Ping thought for a while, and asked Zhao Zhuzi to take out the compass, in fact, in the desert because there is sand everywhere, it is easy to get lost, and when there was no compass before, a lot of things may be used to determine the direction, for example, the growth shape of plants is generally dense in the south, this is because the sunlight in this direction is more abundant, and the growth is naturally better.

However, now that I have a compass, I can just take it out and look at it.

"Ahh

But he didn't expect that when Zhao Zhuzi took out the compass, he just glanced at it and shouted.

"What's the matter?"

Fang Ming had a bad feeling in his heart, and snatched the compass over, only to find that the pointer was moving around, and there was no way to indicate the direction.

"Niu Lao, there may be a strong magnetic field here, and the compass is no longer working."

"Huh?"

Niu Ping was stunned for a moment, but then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"Isn't it? Are you so happy to be lost? ”

Fang Ming's eyes widened, looking at Niu Ping, who was about to show a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face at this time, he really didn't understand why.

"Heh, find a place, settle down, let's not leave for the time being."

Niu Ping waved his hand, and didn't care that Fang Ming and Zhizhao Zhuzi were now in a fog, and directly let them set up camp!

looked at the sky, and found that it was almost dark, and the temperature in the desert would drop greatly at night, so although he had doubts in his heart, Fang Ming could only suppress these doubts first, and get busy with Zhao Zhuzi, more than an hour later, when the night slowly fell, the three small tents had been set up, and Niu Ping somehow dug out a big tree in the sand that had fallen and dried up many years ago, the key thing was that he seemed to have dug out a snake nest, Caught three cobras, each with the thickness of an arm!

Fang Ming's spirit was lifted when he saw it, although this thing was poisonous, it was only lethal when they were still alive.

Using a knife, he quickly decapitated the three snakes, then skinned them, and finally put them on small branches, as for Zhao Zhuzi, he had already "dismembered" them with a small axe that he carried with him, and soon, the fire burned, and the three of them took a branch that pierced the snake and roasted it.

Although there is a lack of food in the desert, poisonous snakes like cobras are already at the top of the food chain to some extent, so they still grow relatively fat, and after only roasting for a while, an oil "sizzles" out, and when it drips onto the fire, the flames suddenly rise high.

Half an hour later, Fang Ming found that the snake was already ripe.

"Hey, Pillar, do I remember if you brought a few bottles of wine with you?"

Fang Ming smiled at Zhao Zhuzi, Zhao Zhuzi relied on his good health and was able to bring a lot of things, so in addition to the things necessary to enter the desert, he even brought wine!

"Hehehe......"

Zhao Zhuzi smiled innocently, took out a bottle of wine from the bag and handed it to Fang Ming.

Unscrewing the lid, Fang Ming handed it to Niu Ping and said, "Niu Lao, it's been a few days since you entered the desert, this is the first big meal, now that you have meat, we have to have a good drink." ”

"Good!"

Niu Ping was obviously in a good mood, took a big sip of the wine after taking it, smacked his mouth and handed it to Fang Ming.

Where would Fang Ming, after taking it, he first took a bite of the already roasted snake meat and chewed it several times before taking a big sip of wine.

The meat of the cobra is tough, and because of the salt, it tastes pretty good, and it is the best accompaniment to the sake.

The three of them took turns drinking a bottle of wine and gnawed on the cobra!

Fang Ming jumped onto a relatively tall stone and carefully looked at his surroundings.

Standing high and seeing far, this sentence is really not wrong, there was a relatively low desert before when he walked without seeing the surrounding environment, now standing relatively high, he found that there are many large and small stones around, basically most of them are buried in the sand, and a small part is exposed on the ground.

One jump.

"It's very simple, it's not just people who want to drink water in the desert, but also a lot of animals, once the water source is polluted by animals, including their human feces, if people drink it, they may have problems, even if they are healthy, they may not survive in the desert, let alone get sick.
