Chapter 295 [Departure]
The sapper shovel in Monica's hand flew up and down, and after a while, it actually made a crisp sound!
"It's ......"
Hu Xiaodao walked two quick steps to Monica's side.
"This is a thousand-year-old well, and if you dig it down, you should be able to dig out the groundwater! But after all these years, I'm not sure if that's it! Monica ignored the knife, and the yellow sand around her was slick and half-shoveled, and the excavation work was very difficult.
"I'll help too!"
Hu Xiaodao emptied his backpack and picked up sand into the backpack with both hands, and at this time, the rock part of the ancient well had been exposed, and Monica was happy: "That's it, I didn't expect to find it after so many years!" ”
Hu Xiaodao thought about Monica's words carefully, and the well of feelings should still be there more than ten years ago!
"Could it be that the desert has been more mobile in recent decades?" I'm not sure, but being idle is also idle.
Monica smiled: "It's not that the desert is mobile, the desert has been like this for thousands of years, it's the mobility of people, this used to be a gathering place before, and then there was a war......"
Hu Xiaodao immediately shut up, the situation in the Black Continent has always been not optimistic, and his slightest gaffe may cause unnecessary misunderstandings and touch the sadness of others.
"There it is!" Hu Xiaodao pulled a bag of sand, and just as he poured it out, he heard Monica's voice in surprise.
"It's a pity that it's just relatively moist sand, and it can't be considered a water source, so let's work harder!" Half an hour had passed, and Monica was still wearing a thick robe.
"Well, there's a baby under the mud, come on!"
Ten minutes later, Monica and Hu Xiaodao were happily lying in the tent, eating beef and drinking water.
"I say, are you Tuaregs born to be water seekers? Although it took half an hour of digging, we finally found water, right? Hu Xiaodao, who was biting into the beef, asked.
"No, the desert consumes at least ten catties of water a day, but you said that about a hundred kilometers to the southeast, I know that there are a few places in the middle that can replenish the water source."
Monica's meal is more convenient, holding a quarter cake and biting into a few pieces of beef, similar to pancake fruit.
"What is the purpose of your visit? Just a simple way to prove yourself? Without waiting for Hu Xiaodao to speak, Monica continued to ask.
Hu Xiaodao, who asked this sentence, was speechless, he himself challenged the wilderness completely according to the requirements of the system, but the target system of this challenge was very vague, and there was no requirement for the number of subscribers or the number of days to survive.
The most important thing is that there is no exact address, just a vague place name and a vague coordinate for Hu Xiaodao.
According to the map, Hu Xiaodao needs to go to a place about a hundred kilometers southwest of this town, and then come back to complete the task, but the system does not say the reward, nor does it say the specific requirements.
"Could it be that it was angry at the last time I ventured into the rainforest?" Hu Xiaodao began to think crankily, Monica saw that he was distracted, so he didn't talk nonsense, turned over and stuffed the cake in his mouth and prepared to sleep for a while!
I don't know how long it took, Monica turned over, found that Hu Xiaodao was gone, and there was the sound of camels outside, and immediately knew that Carl was coming, straightened his clothes and got out of the tent.
Since Hu Xiaodao and Carl were sitting upwind, Monica's appearance did not disturb them. But the situation between the two made Monica a little confused.
Hu Xiaodao said what is this with a superior posture, and when it comes to the highlights, his hands fly, as if pointing to the country, and then he took out a cigarette and held it in his hand.
Carl flatteringly helped Hu Xiaodao light a cigarette, while nodding constantly, as if he was very humble about receiving Hu Xiaodao's education!
"So women can't be spoiled, take the matter of digging a well, I stood aside with my arms crossed, and Monica dug the well honestly, and I said that the water was a little salty, and she was sad for a long time!
But I want to think about it, forget it, after all, it's a desert, it's not too good to be a girl, just drink it reluctantly, you just have to remember, don't dig your heart and lungs into girls, you must show weakness, see if you do a good job, she will naturally get started. ”
Carl nodded his head wildly: "Yes, yes, yes, I have always done this and that since I was a child, I am too accommodating to Monica, if there is a big brother at your average level, Monica would have been mine a long time ago!" ”
"It's not that I'm bragging, if it weren't for you being so good, Monica and I would have ...... a long time ago"
"What a long time ago? Two gentlemen? Monica twisted their ears with both hands!
"Pain, pain, pain, ......"
"Huh? It's Monica! ”
The two immediately shut up and said for mercy!
"Mr. Hu, please keep your mouth shut in the future, otherwise you can find another guide, I'm not the kind of person you imagined!" Monica turned around and went to check on the camel.
Carl covered his ears and grinned, "Didn't you say that Monica has a crush on you?" ”
"Hey...... There must be good feelings, but feelings need to be cultivated, and you will understand in two years! With a few words, Hu Xiaodao chased after Monica as if he was running away.
"Cultivate? Bah! I've been cultivating for almost twenty years, you oriental liar! Carl, who came back to his senses, knew that he had been tricked by Hu Xiaodao, and he was furious but helpless.
"Hehe, you know, isn't that a little bit of bragging between men, don't be angry!" With his hand on the camel's neck, Hu Xiaodao put on a posture that he thought was very handsome.
"OK, work!" Monica clearly didn't want to discuss it any further.
Hu Xiaodao smiled and packed up the tent and backpack, the food and water of the two camels were divided equally, plus the weight of the people, the weight of each camel was about 150 kilograms, and Hu Xiaodao may be 170 kilograms.
"Carl, remember not to tell my father, or I'll come back and you'll suffer!" Stepping on the camel, Monica still did not forget to warn Carl again.
"Don't worry, your father killed me, and I won't say it!" Carl waved his hand, his snow-white teeth smiling sweetly.
Hu Xiaodao is very strange that this Arab kid is both kind and simple, and he is constantly being squeezed by Monica, why Monica doesn't look down on him.
But after thinking about it, who can say anything about feelings, put on his backpack and waved goodbye to Carl in a friendly manner, and the two camels slowly walked towards the depths of the desert one after the other.
"Hmph, you think this trick can deceive me, since I have been chasing Monica for so many years without success, then it must be the wrong way, foreigner,
You've only been here for the next day and you've been able to share a tent with Monica to prove that what you say is true, but it's deliberately exaggerated, I just need to be careful to rule out the impossible, hehehehe! ”
Karl stood on the deserted stone pillar and waved to himself as he watched the two of them ride away on camels, quickly pulling out a pen and paper and jotting down every word that Hu Xiaodao said.
