Chapter 374: Water in the Desert

Fang Ming opened his eyes, took a look, and found that Zhao Zhuzi was still asleep, while Niu Ping was already in the tent.

Carefully climbed up, and as soon as he got out of the tent, he saw Niu Ping on a small sand dune not far away, looking into the distance.

Fang Ming walked over, but found that Niu Ping's face was very solemn, and then said, "Old Niu, what's wrong?" ”

"This place...... I've never been here before. ”

Fang Ming was stunned, "Huh? Never? ”

The desert is very large, even if Niu Ping has entered hundreds of times in the past few decades, but not all places have been visited, but it is more scary to say such things after a strong sandstorm, especially this time Niu Ping has a fixed destination.

"Yes, I've never been to this place before."

Niu Ping's voice was calm, but sure.

"Could it be that the wind and sand are too big and change the surrounding ......?"

Niu Ping shook his head and directly interrupted Fang Ming's words, saying, "No, absolutely not, we have never been to this place before. ”

Fang Ming didn't ask any more, he knew that since Niu Ping was like this, there was really only one possibility: Niu Ping had never been to this place, and the three of them lost their way in the wind and sand yesterday and walked to a place they had never been before, which was not very good!

(a) (Ben) [Read] novel ybdu "Grandpa Niu, Brother Fang Ming, what happened?" ”

Just when Fang Ming and Niu Ping were silent, there was a sound of heavy footsteps behind them, and then Zhao Zhuzi walked over.

"We may be lost."

Fang Ming's words made Zhao Zhuzi also surprised, he lived on the edge of the desert, and he was quite clear about the horror of such a thing as getting lost in the desert.

However, he was also a bold figure, and immediately calmed down and said: "We have more water and other supplies with us, so don't worry too much, and we have a positioning system, etc., so it should be no problem to find a way out." ”

"Well, pack up, let's hit the road."

What has Niu Ping not encountered in his life? So although he is lost now, he is not too worried, in his opinion, it should not be too difficult to get out of the desert, he is only worried that because he has gone in the wrong direction, the original decision to find the imperial tomb will be affected.

Three

After the tent was put away, he continued on the road, and because he was lost, Niu Ping determined that the direction of his continued progress was the southeast, and he thought that this direction was the best way to return to the original route.

The scorching sun hung over his head, and he looked like there was only one, but it was pouring endless heat, and because of the sand, the ground was even hotter, and it was definitely like walking on a frying pan with fire on.

The sweat came out like spring water, Fang Ming didn't even wipe it, because it was useless at all, there was too much sweat, and it came out immediately after wiping it off.

When I looked up slightly, I noticed that even through my sunglasses, the sun in the sky was dazzling, which showed how hot it was.

Shaking his head gently, he had never been to the desert before, so this time it was a rare experience, but more of a experience of the cruelty of the desert.

"Stop."

Niu Ping, who was walking behind, pulled the rope connecting the three people, so Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi immediately stopped.

"Old Niu, what's wrong?"

Fang Ming walked up to Niu Ping, as far as he knew, he hadn't returned to his original route yet, so there was only one possibility to stop now, that is, there might be something to discover, thinking of this, he couldn't help but have an excited look on his face.

Zhao Zhuli obviously thought the same thing, so there was an excited look on his face.

Niu Ping was stunned at first, but immediately understood why the two of them had excited looks on their faces, shook their heads, and said, "Didn't you find anything." ”

With a burst of disappointment in his heart, Fang Ming said, "Huh? Didn't you find something? That...... Why should we stop? ”

"We don't have much water with us, we need to replenish some water, or we will die of thirst before we get out of the desert."

There are two biggest enemies in the desert, one is the weather and temperature, and the other is water, especially water, without which a person will not survive for a few days in the desert, and the demand for water is even greater in the extreme heat.

Of course Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi understood this, but there was water in this place?

Fang Ming looked around and found that the place where the three of them were now was basically sand, but there were some low stones, although these stones were not high, they were relatively large, obliquely elongated, and it seemed that most of them were buried in the sand.

Water?

Will there be water in such a place?

Fang Ming couldn't see why there was water in such a place.

"Niu Lao, is there water in such a place?"

Fang Ming scratched his head, where would there be a drop of water in front of him except for sand and stones? However, his heart suddenly moved, and he wondered if Niu Ping had that legendary ability, which could "smell" where there would be water with his nose?

"Well, yes, there is water in this place. It's not like there's no water everywhere in the desert, and for experienced people you can find water in some places, such as the place where we're now. ”

Fang Ming became excited when he heard this, and said loudly: "Elder Niu, are you really like the legend, where can you smell water?" ”

Niu Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "How can there be such a person? ”

"Huh? There are no such people? So how do you find water? ”

I don't understand it even more. Although he has an ability, but this ability is used in the identification of antiques, and he has no experience in surviving in the desert at all, and he can only think of this legendary ability when he doesn't understand how to find water, so it's not surprising that you have the ability to smell where the water is.

Glaring at Fang Ming, Niu Ping said, "There is no such person in this world, as long as you have experience in finding water in the desert, you can find it." ”

Now I clearly understood what Niu Ping meant, the important reason why Niu Ping stopped was of course to find water, but at the same time, it was also to teach himself and Zhao Zhuzi how to find water, which was a very important technique, so Fang Ming's curiosity was "stimulated" at once.

Niu Ping walked to the stone not far away, and said as he walked: "There may be water in these places, and if we see such patches of stones or large stones in the desert, it is possible that there will be water, so we must not let go of such an opportunity, because this is very likely to be the only place where we can find a water source." It is unrealistic to hope that you will find an oasis in the desert or water flowing out of the ground. ”

Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi followed behind Niu Ping, carefully observing Niu Ping's movements, they knew that Niu Ping was looking for water now, and they could learn the ability to find water by seeing everything about him.

"It's not that the desert doesn't rain at all, but because of the geology in the desert, the sand is very easy to seep water, so after the rain, it will seep deep into the depths

There's nothing we can do about it. ”

"Huh? By the way, Niu Lao, didn't we take the Luoyang shovel with us? Is it possible to use it to hit deep underground to find water? ”

Fang Ming suddenly thought that the Luoyang shovel could hit the ground more than ten meters or dozens of meters deep? This can come in handy if there is water in the ground.

"It's not impossible, but it's generally not very useful."

Niu Ping continued to walk forward and said: "This is because there is sand in the desert, in fact, many times the Luoyang shovel is not useful in finding water. ”

The reason is very simple, the sand is too soft, it is easy to hit it, but it is also easy to collapse, and it is so deep that even if there is water, it cannot be taken out.

"That'...... How do we find water? ”

Zhao Zhuzi was also quite puzzled, and he couldn't figure out what Niu Ping meant.

At this time, Niu Ping had already seen a relatively low stone in front of him, squatted down, then stretched out his hand and pressed it on the sand, then nodded lightly, and said, "This place is good, there may be water, dig it and take a look." ”

"There's water in this place?"

Fang Ming didn't believe Niu Ping's appearance, squatted down and pressed it with his hand, and found that the sand was a little cold, and couldn't help but be stunned.

The temperature in the desert is already very high at this time, and theoretically the sand shouldn't be so cold.

"Is there really water here?"

Fang Ming took the shovel from Zhao Zhuzi's hand in disbelief and dug it up vigorously. The sand was very soft, so it was easy to excavate, and in less than two minutes, Fang Ming dug a pit about a meter deep. What made Fang Ming feel extremely surprised was that the more he dug down, the wetter the sand became, not at all like sand in the desert!

Fang Ming's movements sped up even more, and after a while, when Fang Ming dug a pit of more than two meters, a trace of water suddenly gushed out as if it appeared out of thin air, and after a while, the bottom of the pit was "filled"!

Water!

It's really water!

Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi were stunned, this place really has water, this is a place in the desert!

Shouldn't desert places be full of sand and the rarest thing is water? How can Niu Ping dig up water by finding a random place?

After a long time, Fang Ming came back to his senses, looked at Niu Ping, and said:

"Niu Lao...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Heh, think for yourselves what the hell is going on."

Niu Ping didn't say the answer directly, but let Fang Ming and Zhao Zhuzi think about what was going on.

Hearing this, Fang Ming knew that Niu Ping was testing his and Zhao Zhuzi's vision, so he stood up and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Fang Ming opened his eyes, took a look, and found that Zhao Zhuzi was still asleep, while Niu Ping was already in the tent.

Carefully climbed up, and as soon as he got out of the tent, he saw Niu Ping on a small sand dune not far away, looking into the distance.
