Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 44 Temple of the West Night 2
Li Tong's words immediately made me stop running on the cannon and concentrate on finding a place with water. Logically, there can't be any water here, it's just ice, but now the question is where to find the so-called water source. As soon as I thought of this, I had to continue walking.
After walking for a long time, I still couldn't find the water source, so I couldn't help but doubt the coldness of the so-called extremely cold place and the way of the five elements in the four-word poem. "Is there something we didn't think of?" Think as you go.
"Instead of looking aimlessly like this, how about we go and look next to the red boulder?" I proposed. Seeing that the other three had no objections, I took the lead and turned back towards the boulder. When I passed by, I deliberately used a flashlight to shine the poems on the stone wall, and there was no problem.
"Do we understand what's wrong?" I thought. The closer you get to the red boulder, the hotter it gets. Li Tong never said a word along the way, and his eyes never left the boulder, as if something was on his mind.
I looked back and smiled, "How about Miss Li, do you see any clues?" Li Tong still didn't speak. After a while, he whispered: "I suspect that this red stone is an alien meteorite, and the red light on it is emitted by the radiant elements on the stone." ”
Li Tong's words opened the eyes of the three of us. I asked, "Are these red rays harmful to the human body?" Li Tong replied with a helpless smile: "How do I know this?" However, theoretically, these red rays are harmless to the body. Because spectroscopically speaking, these red rays belong to long waves, so they are far less harmful to the body than ultraviolet rays and some rays. But that doesn't mean it's harmless. ”
Cannon and Brother Li were dumbfounded after hearing this, and said in unison: "What are you talking about?" Li Tong and I looked at each other and smiled, too lazy to explain these theories. I waved my hand and said, "Miss Li means that these red rays have a small chance of harming the body. After hearing this, Cannon and Brother Li sighed, and they understood it.
Finally, I was about to get close to the red boulder, and I felt like my body was about to explode. Cannon sighed, "I didn't expect it to be so hot here." It will become a roast suckling pig in a while. "We didn't bother with it now, just looked for water nearby, and suddenly we noticed that a spring was constantly steaming not far from the boulder, and the vicinity was covered with water vapor, and it felt like a big steamer, and the flashlight shone on it and there was a fog everywhere.
"How can there be a spring here?" I don't have a solution. Li Tong put his hand in the spring water and said from time to time: "The temperature of the water here is quite high, about fifty degrees. The corners of my mouth turned up into the cannon and said, "Well, it doesn't look like going in and taking a hot bath." ”
The cannon hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there are female comrades here, and it is not suitable for children." After speaking, his eyes glanced in the direction of Li Tong. Who knew that Li Tong didn't pay attention to us at all. I saw that Li Tong was focused on finding the way, and it was not good to joke anymore. After a while, Li Tong walked beside me and whispered, "How is it?" It's a joke, right? ”
I smiled embarrassedly, "Isn't this a relief for me?" Suddenly, I felt a pair of hands stretched out on my waist, and this girl pinched me hard, only to feel that a small piece of meat on my waist was about to be taken off by this girl. The intense pain was touching, and you couldn't help but shout to me, and immediately asked, "Brother Qi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Li Tong replied lightly: "He dreamed of killing pigs." Breaking ah still looked puzzled: ", I feel like Brother Qi was killed by a pig." "Well, although I feel that I have been sold, I am very depressed, and I don't care about this goods.
After further ado, the main question now is how to bring this water to the boulder and lower its temperature. I looked around the area around the spring for tools that could be used to draw water, but after looking around, I couldn't find anything like a pipe.
I was dejected, "What can I do? Not even a single hair can be found. Brother Li and the cannon were still carefully looking for clues, and Li Tong was not idle at all, repeatedly checking near the boulder. I can't continue to complain like a resentful woman.
But it was really impossible to find a water pipe in this place where no one was there, and gradually they lost patience with the cannons, and the four of us sat on the edge of the waterhole to discuss the next plan. I quipped, "I haven't seen a single bird in this mountain, let alone a human being, it's really a fool's dream to find a water pipe." "But now we're blocked in our way by this red boulder, and we have to think of a way.
Li Tong looked up at the red boulder with a thoughtful look. I shook my hand at her reluctantly, squeezed out a smile and said, "Have you figured out anything to do?" Li Tong still ignored me, but looked at the top of the cave with a focused face.
Suddenly, the girl shouted, "There's a way! We were all taken aback, showing a very expectant expression, Li Tong was rarely happy and said: "What do you see above the top of the cave?" "We shot flashlights above the boulder, and we saw streams of clear water flowing towards the boulder, but the water was not big enough to be evaporated before it reached the boulder.
Li Tong pointed to the top where the boulder was located and said, "You can see the flowing water near the boulder, according to my speculation, there should be a thick layer of ice on it, if we can throw these ice cubes on the boulder, it can be used to cool the temperature of the boulder." ”
The cannon praised in a row: "It's good to still have knowledge!" The cannon's method of slapping on the back didn't seem to work, and Li Tong continued: "In this way, all three of us go to the top of the cave, leaving one person here to be responsible for echoing us." "Because Li Tong has injuries on his body, our opinion is to keep him. But this girl didn't agree, and she was stunned to go to the top of the cave. had no choice but to leave Brother Li.
After that, the three of us left behind the heavy stuff, just loaded the skis and climbing tools in our backpacks, and headed straight for the entrance of the cave. Now I finally feel the importance of tools.
From time to time, we came to the entrance of the dragon's head-shaped cave, and it was still as cold as ever outside. I took a closer look at the entrance of the cave, and don't look at the opening. However, the mountains around it are undulating, and it is not easy to climb to the top of the cave. I looked around the entrance of the cave repeatedly, and there were cliffs everywhere, and the strange and the rock had merged into each other, and it was impossible to distinguish between them. However, Li Tong's method just now is that we can think of a better plan. So, go up anyway.
We continued to look around the cave entrance, trying to find a point of strength to climb, even if it was a little bit. Suddenly, I noticed a bulge above the hole that caught my attention. The bulge didn't look too big, more like a unicorn's horn, and it was estimated that it should be able to bear the weight of three people, and it would be very helpful for climbing the top of the tunnel.
