Just didn't take a few steps, Xu Dong turned around, and saw Mu Siqing, Fat Man, Sang Qiuyu and others looking at him blankly, Xu Dong couldn't help sighing, and turned his head to look around for a while.

The fat man saw Xu Dong standing in place, looking around, and couldn't help but ask very strangely: "What's the matter, Brother Dong, why don't you leave again......

Xu Dong didn't answer, walked to a low-lying place about twenty meters in front of the camp, and when he got to the low-lying place, he found the lowest place, looked down at the left and right, walked around, and chose a place for a while, then turned around and beckoned to the fat man.

Mu Siqing looked strange with the fat man and the others, and involuntarily followed.

Wei Zhehai, Zhou Jinlong and others also came over, and when they saw that Xu Dong was pausing and checking in the lowest place, Zhou Jinlong couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?" Do you want to dig water out? ”

Xu Dong did not deny it, and said: "I don't have much water left for you, only for a day or two, but if I can't find those camels within two days, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you, so if you can find water here......

Bayir couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Little Brother Xu, I advise you to save some effort, this is the deepest area of the Taklamakan and the forbidden area of life, not to mention animals, even plants can't survive here, and I have been rolling in this desert for some years, and I have never been able to find water in this area!" ”

Xu Dong ignored Bayir and said to the fat man: "Go get a shovel!" ”

Sang Qiuyu was diligent and ran back to the camp quickly, rummaging for a while, fortunately, in Wei Zhehai's tent, he found two ordnance shovels, and then held the two shovels and jumped back to the low-lying ground.

Looking at the two armory shovels that Sang Qiuyu brought over, Xu Dong smiled, it is estimated that Sang Qiuyu took it directly from Zhou Jinlong and Bayil's backpacks.

Xu Dong took a shovel of ordnance, checked it in his hand, and then began to dig sand, Xu Dong's hand was extremely strong, and he inserted a shovel in his hand, and with a slight prie, it was a big shovel of sand.

However, because the sand was very dry when he first started digging, Xu Dong's strength was great, and the sand that was thrown away immediately turned into sand and dust flying all over the sky.

Because it was full of sand, it was very easy to dig up, and after a while, Xu Dong had already dug a pit with a diameter of one meter and a depth of half a meter, and then dug down, and the sand was obviously a little wet.

However, the sand at this time, like other places, is just very ordinary and a little wet, which can ensure that the sand does not turn into dust.

But this little bit of wetness has been able to allow Xu Dong to scoop up more sand with each shovel.

Seeing Xu Dong working hard, Zhou Jinlong sighed: "Okay, I'll dig a few times too......" Regardless of whether he can dig out the water or not, Xu Dong is kind, if he sees Xu Dong working hard, he just stands by and watches, and he can't say anything.

Zhou Jinlong is a master of stealing holes, and with him joining, Xu Dong is even more happy, not only increasing the diameter of the hole, but also increasing the depth very quickly.

In less than an hour, the two of them dug to a depth of about one meter and a half, although the sand was still only a faint dampness, but Zhou Jinlong could obviously feel a cool breath.

However, because Zhou Jinlong was older, after this period of physical labor, he couldn't help but be a little breathless, Xu Dong stopped, wiped the sweat on his head, and said, "Old man Zhou, you still want to go up and rest for a while......

Seeing Xu Dong and Zhou Jinlong digging sand below, Wei Zehai and the others were embarrassed to watch, and at that moment, Zhou Jinlong was pulled out of the hole, and Wei Zhehai jumped down by himself.

Dig down for a while, the sand can no longer be directly shoveled out of the hole, however, this is not difficult Zhou Jinlong, when the hole was robbed in the past, the depth of seven or eight meters and ten meters, the excavated soil can be lightly raised.

Zhou Jinlong asked Xu Dong and the two of them to rest a little below, and then found a rope and a large piece of oilcloth, and used the rope to tie the four corners of the oilcloth to make a burden, and then put it down, and asked Xu Dong to fill the burden with sand, and then, the person on it directly lifted the burden.

Although the sand came out in this way was much slower than before, it was also extremely effective, and the further down, Zhou Jinlong asked Xu Dong to reduce the diameter of the pit as much as possible, and the sand that needed to be lifted out was much less.

It's just that in this way, when it reaches a depth of more than three meters and nearly four meters, there can no longer accommodate two people in the pit, and at this time, Xu Dong has begun to get a little tired.

From the beginning to the present, it has been digging for more than three hours, Xu Dong alone can be said to be the main force, and he has been working hard, and at this time, he naturally wants to take a break.

Wei Zhehai said to the people above, Zhou Jinlong and the others put down their burdens, let Xu Dong stand in the baggage, and several people pulled up hard, and in less than a moment, they pulled Xu Dong out.

As soon as he got to the ground, Xu Dong suddenly felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace, and his whole body was wrapped in a scorching wave of air, and the feeling was definitely coming out of the air-conditioned room and being directly exposed to the June sun, which made people feel that all their breath was like a flame in an instant.

However, at this time, Wei Zhehai shouted below: "There is water...... There is water......"

A few people above couldn't help but be stunned, was it really out of the water?

In fact, Wei Zhehai said that there is water, but it is not really out of the water, but the sand that is shoveled up now has a lot of humidity, and a handful of sand can almost be directly kneaded into a ball, almost dripping water, so that people can easily feel the coolness and wetness of the ice-hearted spleen.

The people above also found this feeling from the sand that was pulled up, and under a burst of excitement, the spirit was more abundant and the motivation was greater.

Anyway, if you find water here, the chances of a few people surviving are more than half greater, and if you can survive, who doesn't want to!

Wei Zhehai dug more than a meter deep below, and when he went down with a shovel, the sand he brought up was already dripping.

After waiting for a while, a small pool of water began to leach out of the lowest part of the pit, and at this time, Wei Zhehai almost went crazy below, water, real water, this was dug out.

Wei Zhehai couldn't wait to bend down and take a handful of water, put it in his mouth to try it, and tasted the water quality, but then shouted in disappointment: "Ah, this is salt water...... Can't drink...... What to do......"

Xu Dong was stunned and surprised: "Salt water...... How can it be saltwater......"

Between the words, I was still a little disappointed, I saw that there was water underground, but I didn't expect it to be salt water, wasn't that a waste of effort?

Zhou Jinlong smiled and said: "It's good to have water, for us, as long as there is water, this is a great good thing, it can save lives......"

The fat man laughed dryly twice and said, "This salty water, you can't drink it, can it save your life?" Does Old Man Zhou want to stir-fry vegetables without adding salt, but what dishes are there to stir-fry here? ”

Mu Siqing looked at the fat man and said: "Fat man, in fact, in the desert, whether it is salt water or dirty water, as long as there is water, then you can really live, for example, this salt water, as long as the amount is large, we can casually make a simple distillation device, and if you want to drink water, you can directly take distilled water." ”

"Distillation unit? Distilled water? The fat man cried out.

Wei Zhehai below faintly heard the people above talking, this water, even if it is salt water, can also make fresh water, the original disappointment xù, suddenly recovered, digging a foot deep, the deepest low-lying place in the pit, the water gushed out directly, and the speed of the water gushing out is not slow, it will leach out of a depth of thirty or forty centimeters in a while, but when it reaches this depth, the water that comes out again is very slow, that is to say, it is estimated that the groundwater here, the highest position, is almost in this place.

Wei Zhehai told the people above about the situation below, Mu Siqing thought about it, and then Sang Qiuyu went with him to find something to hold water, Xu Dong still took a shovel and dug out two pits not far from the side, ready to fill water.

When Xu Dong dug two pits with a length of one meter and a width of fifty or sixty centimeters, Mu Siqing and Sang Qiuyu came over with two tents.

This time I came out, and the tents I brought were of the best quality, the kind that prevented rainwater infiltration, and was used to spread them in the pit to fill water, and it would never leak out.

In addition, Sang Qiuyu also found a somewhat deflated lead bucket that had been dropped, which was originally used to feed the camels with water and feed, and now it is just used to fetch water.

After a while, the first bucket of water came out of the deep pit, and a group of people surrounded the cold and clear water, all of them were excited, and almost everyone touched a handful in their hands, although they couldn't drink it, but they used it to wash their faces and feel the coolness.

It wasn't until a bucket of water was almost wasted that a few people had enough of it.

Next, Wei Zhehai was pulled out of the deep pit, and then several people took turns to fetch water up, and the water poured into the pit spread with tents.

After a while, a pit was filled, and at this time, Zhou Jinlong got an extra tent again and directly covered the tent on top of the puddle.

At this time, the sun is at the top, the heat is very high, there are already 30 or 40 degrees of high temperature in the desert, after the puddle is covered with a tent, the temperature under the puddle instantly rises by nearly ten degrees, under the high temperature, the water in the pit soon begins to evaporate, the water vapor rises to the tent of the canopy, and the water beads slide down one by one to the lower place.

Sang Qiuyu happily found a few empty mineral water bottles, aimed the mouth of the bottle at the falling water droplets, and the water droplets flowed into the bottles, and more and more and faster.

When a bottle of water was full, Sang Qiuyu couldn't wait to pick it up, raised his head and took a sip, but the distilled water was lukewarm and not very delicious.
