Chapter 4 Desperate Survival
At this time, he didn't want to think about how there could be a pond in this desert, he just wanted to jump into the pond to have a good time and drink a lot of water, even if the water was not clean.
Yuan Chen took the dagger, quickened his pace, and ran quickly towards the pond.
Ran to the edge of the pond, didn't even think about it, just jumped down.
However, after jumping into the pool, there is no cool feeling of jumping into the water.
Yuanchen opened his mouth and wanted to take a big sip of water, but he tried to drink a few sips, but he was still thirsty, and it seemed that the 'water' he drank did not work.
At this time, there was a whirring wind in his ears, and he could feel his center of gravity falling, which woke Yuanchen up.
At this time, what kind of pond is there!
I'm now deep in the air, and I'm falling!
It turned out that I was not jumping into a pond, but a deep canyon.
Yuan Chen saw that below, there were some raised sharp and sharp stones, if they fell on them, there would be only one ending.
That is to be pierced to death!
Seeing some low bushes next to him, Yuanchen twisted his body with great effort to make himself fall on the bushes.
Click!
Click!
Click!
In the end, Yuanchen managed to land himself on the bushes, but!
"Ahh
These bushes were too brittle, falling from a height of six or seven meters, these bushes were directly crushed, and the broken branches cut a long wound on Yuanchen's right arm.
There were even some broken branches stuck in the wound, pulling flesh and blood, and the pain deeply irritated Yuanchen's nerves.
made Yuanchen, who was already in a difficult situation, even worse!
Blood flowed down his arm and on the dagger, and what Yuan Chen didn't notice was that his own blood on the dagger was absorbed by the dagger.
Yuanchen endured the pain, picked off the broken branches on the wound, and then spit out a mouthful of saliva and wiped it on the wound.
Human saliva contains a small amount of lysozyme, coagulation factors, etc., which can kill some bacteria on the wound and stop bleeding.
After applying saliva, quickly tear off a piece of clean clothing and wrap the wound to prevent inflammation and infection.
After doing all this, Yuanchen stood up and looked at the canyon.
The canyon is about fifteen meters wide, and as for the length, it is not known, and the end of the canyon is not visible at either end.
'Are you going to die in this canyon?' ’
Yuanchen's sad face and the successive terrifying encounters made Yuanchen unable to see any hope of life.
From the precipice to here, the hardships and sins I suffered along the way were far more than the hardships and sins I had suffered in the previous 22 years.
Suddenly, Yuanchen rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Is this also an illusion?"
In a corner of the canyon, Yuanchen saw more than a dozen cacti.
Yuanchen staggered towards the dozen or so cacti.
Worried that what he saw was another hallucination, he didn't want to experience the kind of thing that saw hope and suddenly despaired.
Pain!
Yuan Chen walked up to the dozen or so cacti, and his hand touched the cactus, and the thorns of the cactus pierced into his fingers.
Feeling the pain coming from my fingertips, my face was immediately filled with excitement, and tears of excitement flowed out, tears of joy.
It's true!
Great, it's true!
Cacti are rich in water and even contain a small amount of minerals.
Of course, not all cacti are edible, and some are poisonous.
There are three types of cacti in front of you, one of which is a barrel-shaped cactus, which is edible.
After counting, there are six barrel-shaped cacti, which are not small, enough to solve the immediate need.
The barrel cactus has many sharp thorns on its exterior that must be shaved off in order to obtain its flesh and pulp.
If you dare to say this, you have to admire his courage, even camels are not easy to eat, let alone people.
Yuan Chen was about to take a dagger and shave off the hard thorns on the surface of the barrel-shaped cactus.
"Huh? What about daggers? ”
Yuanchen found that the dagger he had held in his hand was missing.
"Where's it? Is it dropped? ”
Yuan Chen walked to the low bushes that he had crushed on his back, and looked to see if the dagger had fallen into the bushes when it fell just now.
However, after searching all the bushes, I still didn't find the dagger, and I couldn't help but wonder.
"Could it be that you landed on the canyon? It's too old! "I got the dagger myself, and before it really worked, it fell off.
"Forget it, use a stone to smash the hard thorns of the cactus."
Yuan Chen stretched out his right hand and picked up a relatively sharp stone, and suddenly saw that there was something more on his right arm.
"It's ...... Is this the dagger? ”
A tattoo appeared on his right arm, shaped like a miniature version of the dagger.
"Did the dagger run into my arm?" After some bizarre incidents, it is not unacceptable for the dagger to run into his right arm.
But how did it get into its right arm? And how do you take it out? Yuan Chen looked at his arm, thinking about such a question.
"Come out!"
It didn't come out, it wasn't voice-activated, was it touched?
Yuanchen pressed the tattoo pattern with his left hand, but it still didn't come out, could it be......
'Come out! ’
The dagger reappeared in his hand, holding it in his hand as if it were connected to his own flesh and blood.
"And so it was!"
Yuan Chen took the dagger, walked to the barrel-shaped cactus, and shaved off the hard thorns on the surface.
Hmmm——!
"So sharp!"
This cactus, which has grown for many years, has very hard thorns on the surface, and ordinary knives have to cut it down hard to cut off the hard thorns on the surface.
However, the dagger was cut down at once, as if a kitchen knife was cutting tender tofu, with almost no resistance.
Soon, the hard thorns on the surface of a barrel-shaped cactus are peeled off, and a piece of cactus pulp is cut off and thrown into the mouth.
Chew quickly and drink the juice, and the cells in your body will gradually become active as if they have been in nectar for a long time.
The flesh of the cactus, eaten raw like this, is very bitter and astringent, but for the current Yuanchen, bitterness and astringency are no longer a thing, and it is best to survive.
After eating half a barrel-shaped cactus, Yuanchen didn't have that hunger in his stomach, so he stopped eating.
Yuanchen never thought that one day, he would eat raw cacti so deliciously.
The sky was getting redder and redder, from the pale red of the previous to the deep red of the present, as if it had been stained with blood.
The red sun gradually disappeared, and Yuanchen knew that night had fallen at this time.
However, the environment did not turn black like the original world, but turned red, as if shrouded in red mist.
The red mist became thicker and thicker, and the line of sight was shortened to only five or six meters, and only a shallow outline could be seen at the top of this canyon.
In this kind of world shrouded in thick red mist, Yuanchen's body did not feel any discomfort, and his breathing was still normal.
The temperature has decreased, the original temperature of thirty degrees has been reduced to only about eleven or twelve degrees, and a gust of wind blows from time to time.
The clothes I originally wore were relatively thin, and I couldn't resist the erosion of the cold, especially when an occasional gust of wind blew, the cold shivered, and the cold was directly cold to the bones.
Yuanchen was sure that if he slept like this, he wouldn't have to open his eyes the next day.
In this canyon, there are some low bushes growing like the canyon above.
Yuanchen used a dagger to cut down many bushes and branches, and built a temporary shelter against the canyon wall to reduce the erosion of the cold wind.
After the temporary shelter was set up, Yuanchen got into the temporary shelter, his back was against the canyon wall, and after a day of high temperature exposure during the day, the stones on the canyon wall did not get cold immediately, and there were still twenty-three or four degrees.
At the same time, it can also protect your back from the cold wind, which can reduce the loss of body heat to a certain extent.
Yuanchen leaned his back against the canyon wall, squatted down, hugging into a ball, although it was still very cold, but it would not make himself cold to death.
Fortunately, I ate a lot of cactus, and after digestion, it can also provide a lot of energy.
Cold!
Difficulty sleeping!
Sitting down quietly, Yuanchen's head began to think crankily, thinking about everything in the original world, thinking about his warm big bed, thinking about his mother's cooking, and thinking about the bits and pieces of talking back to his father.
Thinking about the days of spending the night in an Internet café with my best friend, thinking about life in college, and playing with my classmates......
……
Thinking about it, I don't know when, Yuanchen fell asleep.
I don't know what happy things I dreamed of, the corners of my mouth turned up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
