Although it is afternoon, but the scorching sun still roasts the earth, making this village on the edge of the desert more quiet, from time to time there is a burst of yellow sand blowing, the earth dog in front of the door impatiently stood up and shook his body vigorously, and then squinted and lay at the door, this small family, at the edge of the village, located in a high place, is also the first barrier of yellow sand rushing down from the back of the hillside, the village people are simple, several times let the family move elsewhere, but the family stubbornly said: "My family moved, the old Li family below is not the seedling?" "So that's the end of the move.

The evacuated wooden door creaked open, revealing a handsome young man, first looked left and right, quietly closed the door with his backhand, snorted at the earth dog, provoked the earth dog to lick it with his tongue, the young man touched the dog's head funny, the earth dog barked at himself some time ago, until he was completely relieved by his father.

Gray leggings shorts with a blue and black gown with patches on the upper body, and a short stick with eyebrows in his left hand, the young man muttered: "According to the method in the book, you should be able to find water, try it"

Repelled the earth dogs, the young man carried a wooden barrel on his back to the hillside behind his home, turned over the hillside, the yellow sand raged all over the eyes, turned around and looked at the villa, only to see that in the entire valley, the layout of the sparse Lala was only a few dozen people, it was noon, except for the scattered wild dogs rushing out, there was no other movement. There is a well in the village, but it is drying up day by day, and it is even more difficult to drink clean water. A small river spreads from the north to here, and flows into the distance, there is water in spring and summer, but it is drying up day by day, and the dry riverbed is lying there, like an old man who is about to die, not moving, and not angry, "desertification" is a word that the young man knows, but few people in this world know, and it is even more unlikely that anyone in this village will know, and the only teacher is still sick, and he is only simply literate, but he is also a high man in the village, and everyone respects him.

The people in the village fled the war and hid, and the surrounding area was extremely far away from the town, anyway, the father of the young man had never been out of the mountain village in his life, and he couldn't describe what the scenery was outside.

The young man took out a rag from his pocket, surrounded his entire face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes, and looked around sharply again before stepping forward.

This time, the boy decided to go farther, according to his own pace, at least two hours to walk seven kilometers to be able to surpass the last exploration place, according to memory, there should be an oasis over there, although it is not specific, there should not be too many deviations. Walking in the desert, naturally, encountered more difficulties than expected, it was difficult to walk without a compass, but fortunately, this place is not far from the village, and the young man is not worried about getting lost.

Although the oasis is not far from the village, the people in the village rarely go out, even if they starve to death, they are unwilling to leave half a step. Thinking of those unpalatable coarse grains, I want to cry sadly, I think I Wu You is at least at the manager level, at least I live in a five-star hotel, although I am from a rural area, my appetite has indeed grown a lot in recent years, those coarse grains are really difficult to swallow, fortunately, it is okay to get used to it, especially when I think of taking a bath these days is a luxury, it is a bit of a collapse for Wu You, who is a bit of a cleanliness fetish.

Suddenly remembering the delicious food in his previous life, the young man swallowed his saliva, "It's also excellent to give Lao Tzu a bowl of yellow braised chicken rice now."

The foot journey is not fast, but it is not slow either, for a Wu You who lacks nutrition, it takes too much perseverance to walk seven kilometers away, but the thought of waiting to be able to enjoy the clean and cool lake water, no matter how hard it is, is not worth mentioning.

The oasis is close at hand, Wu You jumped and cheered and walked in, the oasis is smaller than imagined, a few poplars swing with the wind, the grass is all over the place, a pool of clear water in the middle, blue sky and white clouds, the water also turns blue, Wu You comfortably smells the fragrance of water and plants, sighs with satisfaction, first fills the bucket, and then begins to dig a sand pit in front of him, which is more than half a meter deep, wiping his sweat Wu You stopped with satisfaction, opened a gap, the water in the lake quickly rushed in, Wu You took off his clothes and jumped in, After all, the water in the lake still needs to be drunk, and a small pit is used for bathing. Under the scorching sun, the breeze came, Wu You was lying comfortably in the cold puddle, similar to the previous life in the Maldives, but the pit was a little small, if you lived like this for the rest of your life, it was really good, I was too tired in my previous life, and it was a rare blessing to be able to rest and rest in this life, Wu You even felt that God was rewarding himself, squinting at the blue sky above his head, compared to the haze in his previous life, Wu You suddenly shuddered.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, booming, for Wu You, who had not seen the living for a long time, rarely heard it, quickly stood up, got dressed, and looked into the distance with wary eyes, it was the sound of horses' hooves, it sounded that there were more people in the team, fortunately, the direction of the horse team was not here, the horse team did not come, so that Wu You breathed a sigh of relief, almost lost the night, let go of his worries, washed the clothes aside, spread them on the grass, and it would not take long to be able to dry. The person was also comfortable, took out the wrapped coarse rice crackers, chewed them and swallowed them slowly, a cloud stayed above Wu You's head, and then floated into the distance, the surroundings were silent, like a paradise, and he hiccuped, thinking that in his previous life, he should still be working overtime in the office to make calls or visit customers, and the damn mortgage, alas, I just miss my father and mother a little, I have been tired all my life, but I haven't enjoyed any blessings, fortunately, there is still a little savings, the house is sold, and it is enough for their old couple to have a good second half," Yes! "Yawned, although a little sleepy, but Wu You didn't dare to sleep, sleeping in the oasis minutes to find the rhythm of death, desert rattlesnakes and vipers and poisonous spiders will wander in the oasis.

The water source in the desert has always been precious, although the bath is a bit wasteful, but it is also a last resort, after half an hour the clothes are dry, Wu You stood up and got dressed, patted a dead grass stuck to it with satisfaction, looked at the oasis and prepared to go back.

"Come over again the day after tomorrow, call the tiger and them too, and bring a bucket to let the family drink for a day or two, and you don't have to work hard to fetch water!"

With the wood on his back and the short stick in his hand, he walked towards the village, and it was still afternoon, so there was plenty of time to walk back.
