【009】 The old Half Moon Spring
As soon as the dawn appeared, the wolf howl that had passed through the six's mind finally stopped.
The cold desert was once again clothed in warmth.
Despite the stunning scenery, after a night of hard trekking, the six men, who had long been exhausted, were exhausted and collapsed on the sand piles after struggling to climb a huge sand dune.
"Ram, Half Moon Spring should have arrived, right?"
Pu Sanyou's shoulders were bled out by the poplar wood, his legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and he was weak to speak.
"It's time to arrive."
The ram Xiao Dun was also so tired that he didn't even have the strength to sit up and see if there was a poplar forest under the dunes.
The sky was bright, and the red sunlight was so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
"It's beautiful!"
Tangerine was the first to stand up.
"Tangerine, could you please see if there is a Half Moon Spring under the dunes?"
Pu Sanyou didn't recognize the wrong person this time, because after Peach's fall that went straight to the wolf's mouth, the white T-shirt had already turned yellow.
"Ha, I only saw one rabbit......"
Ram Atsushi and Pu Sanyu jumped up almost at the same time.
"How is this possible? It should be time to learn scriptures from the west! ”
Pu Sanyou was mad, looking down from the sand dunes, there was no sparkling water within a radius of ten miles.
The ram quickly pulled out his map and compass......
- That's right! The whole process is moving forward according to Grandpa Xiang's road map.
The ram Xiao Dun took out a military binocular, and saw the rabbit that Peaches had mentioned, and the rabbit rushed up to a small sand dune, rolled down from the dune, and bounced and disappeared into the glow.
"This is Half Moon Spring...... I saw a poplar forest. ”
Pu Sanyou snatched the ram Xiaodun's telescope, and there was indeed a dark shadow in the dazzling morning light.
"Whether it's or not, let's go down first."
Pu Sanyou rolled several knapsacks off the dunes.
"Half Moon Spring, I'm here......"
I've never seen Pu Sanyu so nimble, and in the blink of an eye, he has slipped to the bottom of the dune.
"Ah, that's so fun!"
The orange and peach also slipped down, knocking Pu Sanyou, who was packing his backpack, to the ground, and the three of them burst into laughter.
……
In the poplar forest, which had been flooded by wind and sand to the branches, there were seven or eight adobe houses that could not be opened. The low-lying place at the edge of the forest that looks like the bottom of a cauldron should be the Half Moon Spring, but there is no drop of water left.
"It seems that this Half Moon Spring is getting old."
Yu Yao, who felt deeply red and easy to age, sighed.
"Bingbing, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Dun, the ram who put down his backpack, saw Xiang Bingbing holding his arms like a weak grass in the morning breeze, and hurriedly helped Bingbing to sit down on the backpack mountain.
"I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired."
The ram Small-dun, looking up at the whitening sun, cut open the wooden door of an adobe house like a marmot.
Pu Sanyou took out a Swiss Army knife and unscrewed the wire that tied the door of the house......
In the adobe house, there are enough sand piles, half a person high, and Pu Sanyou goes in, like a bulldozer, and the sand pile is leveled in a few clicks.
"Wow, that's spacious!"
"We don't have to bask in the sun today......"
Oranges and peaches burrowed into the adobe, and a few poplar roots were pulled out of the sand and arranged in a circle like a child's house.
Ram Xiaodun helped Xiang Bingbing into the adobe house and sat down.
"Sanyou, Sister Yu, you set up the tent, peaches, oranges, you go and pick up some dry firewood, I'll see if I can find water."
The ram Xiao Dun carried four empty water bottles and walked towards the bottom of the lowest part of the Half Moon Spring. It was only dug half a meter deep, and there was already spring water seeping out......
- Thank goodness! As long as there is water, reaching the crossing point is not a problem.
Everyone quickly lit a bonfire,
Boiling water,
After brewing six cups of fragrant coffee,
Compressed biscuits, fruits, luncheon meat, and Zhang Fei beef were placed on the ground.
"We will go to the test site tonight, everyone should hurry up and fill their stomachs and have a good rest......
Before Ram Xiaodun finished speaking, Pu Sanyou had already swallowed a large piece of beef.
By the time the ram bolted the door and extinguished the bonfire, everyone else had already fallen asleep. Ram Xiaodun sat by the tent where Xiang Bingbing slept for half an hour, and finally couldn't resist the sleepiness......
After the afternoon, the fickle desert changed its face again, and the water vapor rising up from the recess of the Half Moon Spring formed a large whirlpool, rolling up a crooked pillar of sand, sweeping and whipping the endless desert.
The desert soon became furious, whining and screaming, setting off a sandstorm that engulfed the troublesome pillar of sand. The scorching sun eclipsed......
The ram was awakened by the sound of the shrill wind, and when he looked out through the crack in the door, he knew that there was another sandstorm.
- I wonder if I can leave tonight? Although there are still more than ten days before the window period mentioned by Grandpa Xiang, not a minute or a second of time can be wasted before finding the dry well.
"Ram Xiaodun, why don't you rest?"
Xiang Bingbing didn't know when he came behind Ram Xiaodun and gently hugged his waist.
"Bingbing, it's still early...... You go and lie down. ”
"Xiao Dun, I've worked hard for you these past few days."
"Bingbing, I don't feel hard to be with you, and my whole body is full of strength......"
"What a meat!"
Pu Sanyou had already woken up, but his limbs were sore, making him too lazy to get up.
At this shout, everyone woke up.
"Momoko, let's go......"
The orange came out of the tent, saw that it was getting dark, and quickly shouted.
"Now that the wind and sand are too strong outside, we can't walk at all, so let's hurry up and sleep for a while." Ram Smalltun yawned.
The adobe room was pitch black, and Peach turned on the flashlight that was placed next to her pillow.
This and the three-section flashlight have now become Peaches's treasure, and they don't forget to hang on her when they collect firewood.
"I don't want to sleep, Brother Pu, your snoring is so loud."
"Am I snoring? How did I not know...... Since everyone can't sleep, I think we'd better make a few torches! ”
Pu Sanyou quickly changed the subject.
The sandstorm came and went quickly, and after a few hours of rage, finally stopped.
Pu Sanyou pushed the wooden door open and quickly slammed it back.
"I'm rubbing, the wolves are surrounding us."
- This must be a group of perverted wolves, seeing so many beautiful women, they refuse to let go.
The ram Xiaodun opened a crack in the door, and it was really less than ten meters away from the adobe house, and the head wolf, which was missing a piece of his right ear, squatted quietly, and when he saw the ram Xiaodun, he tilted his ugly head.
There was a sound of "rustling" from the roof, and a fine hourglass came in......
Peaches's flashlight shone upward, and everyone was startled, and a wolf's claw came out of a small hole the size of a fist.
"Ah——!h
Peaches swung a dozen times with a flashlight lightsaber, and the strong young male wolves howled in unison, not only did not run, but accelerated the speed of digging holes.
Everyone hid behind Pu Sanyu.
The roof has been ripped open by wolves with a large hole.
- Mother's grandmother, these wolves are too cunning, using their first wolves to attract everyone's attention, but sending a surprise army to attack......
Pu Sanyou stood on a tree root and stabbed it with the poplar wood in his hand.
