Chapter 53: Finding the Water Source

Fu Yingying asked curiously: "Team leader, you... Do you still know how to read the stars? ”

Wang Xing replied carefully: "I understand a little bit, this is what my grandfather taught me, when I can't find a way in the jungle, I can only rely on these stars in the sky to point the way, find the Big Dipper, and then find the purple micro star in the Little Bear Constellation, which is the North Star, the north represented by the North Star." ”

"And my grandfather also taught me how to find better and more herbs in the jungle mountains, based on the cooperation between the Ursa Ursa and the Ursa Nakshatra in the sky, and then the cooperation between the mountains on the land, you can find a good mountain range, then there will be more and better herbs on the mountains."

Fu Yingying then asked, "Then what is the Little Bear Nakshatra, and what is the Big Bear Nakshatra?" ”

Everyone was a little interested, listening carefully to Wang Xing's explanation, Wang Xing said: "The ancients divided the sky into 28 constellations, and 12 constellations, and the Big Dipper is also known as the Ursa Major, find the star where the Big Dipper is also known as the Bear Constellation, the Big Dipper is also known as the Purple Microstar, there is a meaning on behalf of the emperor, the ancients are stargazing side veins as their own mausoleums and the like, generally the selected mountains will be a good place, such as in the mountains and forests there will be good herbs, there will also be groundwater and the like. ”

Wang Xing stood up again as he spoke, and Zhong Feiyan next to him asked curiously, "Big villain, why are you standing up, have you found anything?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Wang Xing, not knowing what Wang Xing had found, and Wang Xing excitedly looked at the stars in the sky and then looked at the watch compass in his hand.

Wang Xing said excitedly: "Have you found a phenomenon, we have come all the way, is the terrain getting lower and lower?" ”

Zhong Feiyan said: "I don't feel this point, but I do look farther and farther away when I look into the distance." ”

"That's right, my watch has an altitude function, and the terrain is indeed much lower than when we started walking, and I look at the terrain corresponding to the stars, maybe there will be a good leyline in the north direction, and there will be water underground, so maybe there will be some grass and other plants on the ground."

Everyone was very excited after listening to Wang Xing's words, and all the members of the dark horse team stood up and looked in the direction pointed by Wang Xing.

Zhong Feiyan said: "So we have hope. ”

Wang Xing said: "If we continue to walk eastward tomorrow, we can hold out for a morning at most under the big sun, but looking at the vast desert in front of us, it is difficult for us to get out, and the only way now is to walk to the north, play a game, win and we survive, and lose without regrets, do you have any opinions?" ”

Everyone nodded, and Zhao Sanpang said: "Brother Xing, we believe in you, if you go further east, you can't go out, don't look at the end of the desert in front of you, if we walk over, we won't be able to walk in the morning, it seems to be in front of us, but in fact it is very far, I agree to follow you to the north to gamble." ”

"Trust the team leader, I will follow in your footsteps."

"I am willing to believe the team leader, and I agree."

"Agreed."

......

Seeing that all the team members were willing to believe in Wang Xing and put their last hope in Wang Xing's hands, Wang Xing was very moved and said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, then we will rest for another two hours and set off, if there is grass on the ground at night, and the dew in the early morning is attached to the grass, we can also quench our thirst." ”

Yin Tianjun said: "Team leader, if we set off now, we can have more hope by walking a little more." ”

Everyone looked at Yin Tianjun and felt that what he said made sense, and Wang Xing said: "We have been gone for a day, everyone has a two-hour rest to maintain their strength, and we will set off when the time is up." ”

After listening to Wang Xing's words, everyone sat down one after another, and it was indeed very tiring after a day of walking, but now there was a hope in front of them, although everyone sat down, they couldn't calm down.

An hour later, Wang Xing looked at everyone so excited, still did not look like a rest, there was no way, had to announce the departure, under the guidance of Wang Xing, everyone went forward all night, supporting each other, Wang Xing and Zhong Feiyan walked in front, from time to time Wang Xing helped Zhong Feiyan, Zhao Sanpang in the back supported Fu Yingying, Gu Ji helped Yu Xiaobei, Yin Tianjun and Yang Hu helped each other, Shen Zegang and Wu Jun also supported each other in the back.

Ten people staggered forward in the night, and at this time Wang Xing's face was very pale, but under this starlight, the faces of all the team members were almost the same color, and no one noticed the change of Wang Xing at this time.

Wang Xing is holding on, only Zhong Feiyan and Wang Xing support each other to know how persistent and powerless Wang Xing is.

Everyone kept moving forward, and until mid-four o'clock in the morning, they did not encounter a single grass, and at this time each team member had almost reached the limit, and it was difficult to walk an inch, and several team members fell directly to the ground, unable to walk.

Wang Xing and Zhong Feiyan turned their heads to look at Fu Yingying, Shen Zegang and Wu Jun, the two of them staggered over to help a few people, Wang Xing knew that maybe this was their permanent hiding place.

Fu Yingying was weak and said intermittently: "Group... Team Leader, I... I'm really, really... Can't walk anymore, you... You don't, leave me alone, you... You keep taking them, you take them with you... Walk. ”

Wu Jun in the back also said: "Star... Brother Xing, we... We can't go either, no... Leave us alone, you... Go on. ”

Shen Zegang was also powerless to speak, so he could only nod, Yin Tianjun also staggered to support Yang Hu, Gu Ji also helped Yu Xiaobei to speak and sat on the ground all of a sudden, looking at the team members who were unable to move forward, Wang Xing said intermittently: "We... We're not going to leave anyone behind, let's go, let's go, you... Have you forgotten what we said, that we are one, as a whole, as a team. ”

Wang Xing looked into the distance and seemed to see a mountain range, like a fixed mountain range, not like a moving desert, and the excited Wang Xing said: "You... You see, there seems to be a fixed mountain range over there, and there must be a fixed desert near the fixed mountain range, and maybe we can find a place with grass when we climb over that mountain range. ”

Wang Xing continued: "The three fats took out the rope in the bag and tied it to each of us, I walked in front, and the remaining three people continued to move forward in a group of each other, as long as everyone insisted, maybe hope was ahead." ”

After everyone tied the ropes to everyone, they helped each other and staggered and continued to move towards the mountain range, which was supposed to take an hour to reach the vicinity of the mountain range, but everyone walked for two hours, and when they reached the foot of the mountain range, Wang Xing said: "Everyone, hold on, let's go over this mountain range and see what lies ahead." ”

The people who were unable to speak could only hold on, this mountain range was not very steep, not very high, a slope of forty-five degrees, and a few stones, which could have been crossed in only one or twenty minutes, but everyone walked with each other for almost an hour, and some team members fell several times in the middle.

When everyone finally climbed to the top of the mountain, everyone saw that the mountain range on the other side was lower, forming a basin of several hundred meters on this side, and in the middle of the lowest part of the mountain range, there was also a freshwater lake about dozens of meters long, and the lake was overgrown with wild vegetables and weeds, and everyone finally saw the light of hope.

Wang Xing saw that the team members were laughing, but tears flowed down inadvertently, and several team members even knelt on the ground and laughed loudly, while tears flowed down their cheeks.

Wang Xing said: "Okay, Lord Yama can't accept us for the time being, let's go down with help, everyone pay attention to be careful, if you can't walk, squat down and move slowly, now it's downhill, be careful not to let anyone fall to the ground, otherwise we will all roll down, now no one has the strength, pay attention." ”

Everyone nodded, and helped each other to walk down to the water source, and it was already half past seven in the morning.

When the team members all arrived at the water source, they hurriedly untied the ropes on their bodies, and several team members staggered to the edge of the lake to drink water.

Seeing this, Fu Yingying shouted: "Everyone... Don't worry, everyone, listen to me first, everyone first rest with two mouthfuls of water, and then continue to drink water, don't... Don't drink all at once, or something will go wrong. ”

Wang Xing said: "Everyone must listen to Fu Yingying." ”

After everyone nodded, they all took only two sips and then returned to the side to lie down and rest, and half an hour later, a group of people walked to the lake again......
