Chapter Eighty-Six: No Water (Three Watches)
How far have everyone gone so far this day, Song Fusheng deliberately calculated in his mind.
Take, for example, his modern-day city.
At that time, in modern times, it should be about 30 kilometers from his city to other counties.
He drove a car, strictly demanded himself with traffic laws, controlled his speed, and drove for about an hour for 30 kilometers.
And this time, they have walked almost a hundred miles from morning to night, counting the time when there was no shortage of water in the morning, until now it is more than eight o'clock in the evening and almost nine o'clock in the evening.
In ancient times, people didn't say the number of kilometers, and everyone couldn't understand them, but in fact, 100 miles is equivalent to 50 kilometers in modern times.
In other words, it is equivalent to him driving from the city to other counties in modern times, running almost a round trip.
A round trip, driving on a good road, have to run for two hours, they are now walking on their legs, and the burden is moving forward, carrying and pushing, the marathon and their battle today are trivial, the limit is the limit.
You say, can the elderly, women and children not cry one by one?
Song Fusheng gasped rapidly, tired enough.
At this moment, Tian Xifa finally came back with the servants of the water search team.
Everyone immediately looked at them expectantly, and Song Fusheng also took a few steps forward to greet them.
It's just that the familiar expressions and familiar movements are too discouraging. Tian Xifa raised the torch in his hand and waved his head to everyone for the third time.
Definitely, at this moment, not to mention that the atmosphere of the team was instantly sluggish to the peak, even Song Fusheng was so discouraged that he immediately squatted on the ground.
As soon as everyone saw him sit down, they immediately stopped and sat on the ground.
It stands to reason that the team stopped suddenly, and it was dark again, at least there should be some talking in the back, but except for a few handlebars shouting "whew", everyone was in a state of silence, and their chests and backs were tired and undulating, busy taking off their hoods, and wiping the sweat on their faces with sweat towels.
Song Fusheng was also wiping his neck with a towel, and gasped as he wiped it: "Brother-in-law, don't you see any villages in front of you?" ”
Tian Xifa shook his head with a bitter face. He was also extremely psychologically burdened at this time.
Because in order to let them run a few miles more to find water first, they were specially equipped with the best equipment.
For example, the best weapons, like the long stick and sharp knife in the fat girl's hand, were given to them.
In terms of eating, the third brother gave them four people, two people in a group, one twist for each person. Give it once for every run.
Song Lizheng's family gave each of them a salted egg, afraid that they would sweat too much and eat some salt. It is also given once for every run.
The high butcher's family was given a piece of meat, saying that the four of them had worked hard and had a heavy task on their shoulders.
As for the other people, although they didn't give anything, they ran and each person carried two water bladders, and each time the two water bladders were filled. And at this time, everyone was actually not very willing to drink water, they were all moistening their throats with water, but let the four of them drink more, not to lose them.
It's just a pity, there are four of them, two people in a group, on both sides of the road, one left and one right, running very deep on both sides, and running a few more miles forward, trying their best but to no avail. Not to mention the water, the grass was withered, and I saw a lot of trees whose bark had been stripped off.
Song Lizheng asked Song Fusheng: "Fusheng, what do you decide?" Why do you decide to be in the middle of all, the big guy listens to you. ”
The high butcher also raised his voice and asked, "Little San, are we still going forward?" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately shouted: "Uncle, I really can't go, the mules in my car are going to die of exhaustion." ”
