Chapter 212: Windfall

It's no wonder that Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing are not ready to buy horses or camels to travel, on this Gobi Desert, it took less than three hours to walk, and they began to climb the mountain.

If you really come by camel or horse, you probably can save less than three hours of travel.

Under the scorching sun, the four of them barely walked a few steps before they had to take a sip of water, otherwise, what they saw with their eyes would not be a Gobi, but a swaying star.

Climbing up a mountain beam, Qiao Yanxue pointed to a mountain on the opposite side, gasped and said to Xu Dong and the others: "Our journey today is in the ravine under the mountain beam opposite, and over there, there is a camp left by people who have been to Death Valley before......"

The fat man sat down, but then bounced up again, and was burned by the gravel on the ground! At this time, the sun is poisoning, and almost all the eggs on the stones can be scalded.

If you set up camp here, don't talk about delaying time, and hide in a tent, it will never be easy.

Let's keep walking! The fat man sighed.

Generally speaking, if you walk on the desert, most of you choose to travel in the morning when the temperature is relatively low, or at night, you can avoid the scorching sun when the temperature is the highest, so that the consumption of body and drinking water can be reduced to a minimum, of course, the premise is that there is no need to have too strict time limits.

Like Xu Dong, they can't enjoy that kind of conditions now, time is pressing! If you spend half a day on the road, the chances of finding in Death Valley are several times smaller, and besides, it is almost impossible to travel on the Gobi Desert at night.

Therefore, no matter how hot the scorching sun is, it must be completed according to the established arrangement.

Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing are both practitioners, even on this plateau, carrying a backpack weighing dozens of pounds, they can still hold on.

Xu Dong and the fat man are very difficult, except for the first time on the plateau, there is almost no such exercise on weekdays, this is the gap between those who have practiced and ordinary people.

When they arrived at the camp in the small valley, Xu Dong and the fat man were almost paralyzed on the ground and couldn't move, fortunately, the sun had already set in the west at this time, and the camp was in a relatively shady valley.

In this camp, the people who walked in front of them only had four or five tents left, and some things that they didn't need when they went back, such as fuel stoves, steel pots, etc., as for food and drinking water, they didn't need to think about it at all, even if there were still some left, there was still a day's journey ahead, and it was impossible to stay here.

It's just that in a few fuel stoves, there is not a drop of oil left, it should have been used up earlier, or the oil was taken away.

Everyone was a little tired, and he didn't bother to go up and carefully check the situation in each tent, so he went directly to the middle of the camp, lay down around the stove, and take a breath first!

Qiao Yanxue took a break, opened her backpack as soon as possible, took out a small jar of fuel, poured it into the stove, and then put a small bottle of water into the steel pot, then took two bags of beef jerky, put them directly into the water, and then began to boil.

Looking at Qiao Yanxue's posture, it is estimated that most of them have never cooked much, and things cooked like her, except for filling their stomachs indiscriminately when something happens, they can basically only "hehe" in other aspects.

The fat man suddenly got up and said with a smile: "Miss Qiao's cooking skills are good, if you don't dislike it, can you let me help?" ”

Qiao Yanxue was stunned, and when she understood that the fat man was laughing at her for not being able to cook, she couldn't help but blush.

Mu Siqing said with a calm face: "Don't think you can barbecue or something, she cooks it like this, the water is boiled, and the rice is cooked. ”

In such an environment, it is indeed necessary to give priority to saving, and it is better to throw it away when you can't go back than to waste it at the beginning.

The fat man was stunned and was speechless.

Xu Dong didn't know which corner to hide, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Ah...... What is it? ”

Hearing Xu Dong's shout, Mu Siqing and the fat man looked over together, only to see Xu Dong squatting on the ground, most of his body hidden behind a tent, as if he was moving something.

What other amazing finds can be found in this camp? Mu Siqing and the fat man went over together.

Unexpectedly, Xu Dong's discovery was really amazing!

Behind the tent, there was a shallow pit, and in the pit there were a lot of good things, fuel, water, food, and even a small bag of rice.

As soon as he saw these things, the fat man was naturally overjoyed, and he almost hugged Xu Dong and kissed him.

Previously, looking at Qiao Yanxue's cooking, whether it was difficult to eat or not was a trivial matter, the key was not much, even if it was thin and dry, about one person could get most of the bowl.

Just this little bit of food can almost plug the fat man's teeth, and the fat man wants to "take a hand", in addition to wanting to regulate himself, of course, he wants to add a little more.

Well, now that the fuel is plentiful enough to be "squandered" at will, the extra food is enough for the fat man to eat a meal.

It's just that Mu Siqing is a little curious, how did Xu Dong find out?

Xu Dong smiled hesitantly: "I really didn't come to look for it, I just wanted to avoid you for convenience, hehe...... Unexpectedly, this was an unexpected gain. ”

Mu Siqing shifted his eyes and looked, a meter or two away in front of Xu Dong, there were indeed water stains that were about to evaporate, and it was estimated that this was the trace of Xu Dong's "convenience".

This guy doesn't go far if it's convenient! Mu Siqing's face turned red, turned his head and left.

Here, the fat man took a stove again, filled it with fuel, and filled a large steel pot with water, and then lit a fire to boil the water.

When the water boiled, the fat man proudly scooped a bowl of boiling water with everyone, and then began to cook rice, rice, which Xu Dong "found" rice, the fat man slightly estimated the amount of four people, and then washed the rice in the pot.

As for Qiao Yanxue's "saved" beef soup, the fat man put it aside first, found another pot to come over, washed it, and then put it on the stove to make a fire and stir-fry.

Looking at the fat man's skillful movements, Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing both blushed, it is estimated that if Mu Siqing is allowed to cook, he will definitely be like Qiao Yanxue, and he will have to "save".

It didn't take long for the fat man's dish to be cooked, and the rice had an enticing aroma.

In the past few days, in addition to going to the restaurant, the four of them have eaten dry food, especially in the last few days, after entering the no-man's land, what they eat is basically beef jerky, compressed biscuits or something, and what they drink, that is, half-warm and half-hot mineral water, which has no taste in the mouth for a long time.

At this time, it is a great pleasure to be able to take a sip of boiling water and eat a mouthful of fragrant rice.

Seeing that Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue were about to drool, the fat man smiled and ordered to eat.

Just one beef jerky, the fat guy actually made two dishes and one soup, one fried beef jerky, one steamed beef jerky, and one beef jerky soup! And they also have their own flavors, not only the taste is good, but also the portion is sufficient, and Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue both praised it.

On the contrary, Xu Dong, a hero with "unexpected gains", was deliberately ignored by Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue.

After eating, there was still a period of time before it got dark, and the fat man saw that Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue were happy, and took the opportunity to "ask" some "combat skills".

The fat man has been wandering outside for a few years, and naturally he fights with others, but every time he fights with someone, he almost ends up with a blue nose and swollen face, and now, there are two "masters" in front of him, and it is the time to be happy, if he doesn't take the opportunity to ask for two moves, then he will be too sorry for himself.

However, even if Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing were happy, they couldn't teach the fat man a few tricks, and practicing martial arts is not only diligent, but also understanding.

Mu Siqing taught the fat man a trick, and even said and taught, it took more than half an hour for the fat man to comprehend it, but Qiao Yanxue taught the fat man a trick, and before the fat man could learn it, he forgot the trick that Mu Siqing taught.

Seeing that Xu Dong was in a hurry, it wasn't that piece of material, what did he do to learn that?

It's getting dark, the fat man just memorizes a trick, and forgets a trick, the back learns, and the front forgets jì clean! Even Qiao Yanxue and Mu Siqing were both laughed and laughed.

Xu Dong looked at it for a while, he really couldn't stand it, turned around and walked away, it's better to rest early, I have to hurry tomorrow.

However, at this moment, Xu Dong heard a long howl of "woo ......".

Not only did Xu Dong hear it, but Mu Siqing, Qiao Yanxue, and the fat man, the three of them also heard it clearly.

"It's a wolf ......," Mou Siqing cried out in a lost voice.

This is a plateau no man's land, and it is not uncommon to have wolves, but now the weapons in the hands of the four people are a few Tibetan knives, maybe one wolf and two wolves, with the skills of Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue, they are not afraid.

But after that wolf howl, there were seventeen or eighteen wolves that followed Ying He, and suddenly the wolf howls of "whining ......" in the valley echoed everywhere and sounded into one, which was clearly a group of wolves.

As soon as she heard this voice, Qiao Yanxue's face turned white all of a sudden, even if she and Mu Siqing worked hard to protect themselves, what about Xu Dong and the fat man?

The reason why Qiao Yanxue bought a Tibetan knife when she was in Guzha was because she had long heard that there were wolves in this area, and the only one that could make a weapon was the Tibetan knife.

There is only a hidden knife, what now?

Mu Siqing took advantage of the twilight and looked around, and suddenly became a little anxious, there is no place in this small valley where she can hide from the attack of the wolves!

The fat man is about to weaken his feet now, he is afraid of snakes, and he is even more afraid of wolves, and he is afraid of a pack of wolves.

In fact, it's not just the fat man who is afraid, Mu Siqing and Qiao Yanxue are very weak-hearted, even if they are a tiger or a lion, they don't dare to flick their edges when they encounter wolves.

Wolves are not only ferocious and fearless of death, but also extremely cunning, and the most terrifying thing is that they are extremely organized, especially the wolves, under the command of the head wolf, or attack or defend, or advance or retreat, which can almost be said to be comparable to an army or team.

Qiao Yanxue followed the prestige, only to see that in the deep twilight, a yellow-haired old wolf almost the size of a calf was sitting on the opposite mountain, staring at a few people in the camp!

Beside this yellow-haired wolf, there are many ups and downs, and it seems that they are all wolves.

At this time, Xu Dong let out an exclamation of "ah" again.

Mu Siqing hurriedly followed, it turned out that the four of them had been busy cooking or something from the beginning when they arrived at the camp, and they had not carefully checked the situation in every tent here and the surrounding environment.

Now, after discovering that there were wolves, Xu Dong was flustered and went to the back of a tent farthest away from a few people, wanting to go to have a bit of an "unexpected harvest", but he didn't expect that this time there was really an unexpected harvest!

Not far behind this tent, the gravel was stained with blood, because of the dry weather, there was no smell of blood, but there was a white human skeleton lying on the ground, next to the human skeleton, there were several animal skeletons shaped like big dogs, the skeletons could still be broken and holes everywhere, a submachine gun fell not far from the human bones, and there were dozens of bullet casings on the ground!

It seems that this skeleton may have been one of the people who came to Death Valley before, and it should have been encountered by the wolves here, this man shot several wolves, but in the end, he and the wolves became the belly of the other wolves.

This time, it was really not Xu Dong's deliberate "windfall"! Seeing such a tragic scene, Xu Dong couldn't help but want to vomit.
