559.Moon in the Lake (1)
"Wait a minute." As he spoke, he looked around and I saw that there were no rotting animal carcasses or swarms of flies around, and the lake was crystal clear. There is no dried salt on the shore of the lake, and there are still some small fish in the lake, so it stands to reason that there should be no problem with this water.
Many people who are lost in the desert rush to the water when they see it, but they don't know that many times the water is deadly. If there are rotting animal carcasses or patches of flies around, then the water must not be drunk, and drinking it will only make people vomit and diarrhea, and hasten the death of people.
If there are large white crystals on the shore of the lake, then the water is still undrinkable, these white crystals are actually salt, and the underground water is salted in the process of seeping out of the rock crevices, and these waters may even be saltier than the seawater, and it will take less than two hours to drink it and you will be delirious, convulsed, foaming at the mouth, and even losing consciousness. During World War II, some soldiers in the North African theater succumbed to the temptation of the sea due to thirst, and as a result, they all died on the coast.
After Akaza finished the inspection, he made sure that the water was fine, so he was relieved to let us pass, the men were all stripped naked and soaked in the water at this moment, and Li Qifa was humming a little song in his mouth, looking very leisurely.
It was as if they were in heaven now, and they had forgotten their troubles in this moment. These people are drinking enough water at the moment and frolicking like children. They even started water fights.
The foreigner girl was hiding far away from the other side of the corner, and she was also taking a bath. She is a woman who loves cleanliness, and she has been exposed to the sun in the desert for a few days, and she naturally will not miss the opportunity to take a bath at this moment.
So she went to another river beach with Xue Meiniang to take a bath, and warned the men here that they could not cross the mottled Lei Chi, and Xue Meiniang also accepted the invitation.
For me, the little grass growing on the river was completely useless, after all, my mind could see through the concrete, let alone this little grass.
The sunset shone on the satin-like delicate skin of the two women, the crystal water splashed on the delicate and delicate bodies, the soaked long hair flashed in front of the two beauties, and the snow-white twin peaks loomed under the cover of the long hair, adding a bit of mysterious temptation, I looked at it twice and stopped looking.
I just hurriedly drank some water and took a shower, but after the shower I didn't lie down by the water like everyone else. I walked around the shore and found some fine black grains on the sand, which was a very fine thing, but I didn't let it go, I dug up the sand and saw a pile of black charcoal buried in the ground, these charcoal were very dark in color, and it looked like it was left recently.
It was the embers of a fire. Apparently someone had been here, and they had deliberately buried the embers as they left. Who has been here? Could it be that the people of the caravan in front of them?
From the very beginning, I sensed that something was wrong, maybe there was something wrong with them.
I searched around for possible clues. Before I knew it, I had actually walked around the corner, and he looked back to see that Li Qifa was still soaked in the water. I walked to the grass between these two groups of people, and I couldn't see the two women in this position, but I could see the fat man's group, so that I could invisibly help the two women who were bathing there, and if these people wanted to pass, they would have to pass by me. At this moment, I became a flower messenger.
I lay alone on the grass and closed my eyes to recuperate, and after a while, Xue Meiniang had finished bathing and came ashore, and we rested for an hour to feed the camels. The kettle and water bag were also filled with water.
We're back on our way, and it's a paradise, but we can't stay here forever. No matter how beautiful heaven is, it is also an extraordinary place for human beings.
The bright moon is in the sky, and under the night, the desert scenery is vast, the cold wind is howling, and the cold is biting. At midnight the people stopped to rest, and they had to recuperate, and the morrow during the day they were to continue on the road, and now that the water problem was solved, they were to begin to travel day and night.
The terrain is flattening out, the dunes are getting shorter, and it seems that we are about to leave this sea of death, and according to Akaza, when we see the green space, we are not far from Moon Lake, which is also on the edge of the Tengger Desert.
The next afternoon, escaping the hottest hours, we started to continue on our way. At dusk, when we climbed a sand dune again, we saw a larger lake not far away, with many large rocks standing on the shore, but this time it was not the desert lake that surprised us, but the tents.
There is a lush meadow on the low ground by the lake, and several tents are pitched on the grass, and the one in the middle is very large and looks like a yurt. The camels were tethered to the outside of the tent, and Akaza recognized them at a glance because they had special markings.
I knew that it was the camel team we were looking for, and I immediately walked over, and the area of this lake is very large, compared to the West Lake, it is not inferior, the lake is extremely wide, and the extreme white cranes in the distance flutter their wings and fly high, bringing up waves, which is very charming.
Xue Meiniang and I first came to the yurt, only to find that everyone was gone except for the camels, and at the same time, I found a lot of diving tools in the house.
"This group came with a lot of luggage, and I didn't expect it to be so much diving equipment," Akaza said. ”
I was horrified, and at this time I looked at Xue Meiniang, and Xue Meiniang also nodded at me, and she said, "Is it too late?" ”
"Since they haven't left yet, it means that we still have time." "They must have the same purpose as me." ”
At this time, the others also came over, and I was puzzled by all this, and I said, "Why don't you rest here, there are birds and fish, and the water here is clearer than the water we have encountered before, and I think we can have a full meal here." ”
When I said this, Li Qifa immediately applauded: "Brother Feng is right, this place is so good, we should have a good rest here." ”
Akaza was speechless for a while, and immediately shut up, I interrupted his silence and said, "This is Moon Lake, right?" ”
Akaza nodded, and he said, when the full moon comes, the lake is as flat as a mirror, and the moon becomes two moons here, because it is still in the desert area, and there are few people, and everything here is very well preserved......
I was also amazed by the view, but before admiring it, I was going to check it out first, because business was important, so I avoided people's gatherings and took out the photocopied map under a large tree.
At this time, there is a lake on the map, and in addition to the annotated Moon Lake, there is a huge moon marker in the middle of the lake, and I don't know what this mark means.
Xue Meiniang leaned on me, and she said softly, "Could this be a secret that requires diving to discover?" ”
"I think Xuanyuan Jie also knows this map, and the group of people who are now in the water should also be for the secrets in the lake, but you see, the appearance of the furnishings here is obviously not long down, that is to say, these individuals may come up at any time, and we don't know whether these people are friends or foes, let's observe it first, no matter what they find, we can wait on the water for the rabbit." I folded the map and said.
"I now find that my brother, who I once called him, has now become a far-sighted leader." Xue Meiniang said with a smile.
I put my arm around Xue Meiniang's shoulders and said, "People, they all have to grow up, and in two years, I will run for three......"
"I said you two don't show affection, hurry up and eat meat, Captain Akaza has reached a wild duck!" Lin Feng's shouts could be heard in the distance.
Xue Meiniang and I looked at each other and smiled, and walked over, at this time the crowd of people around the bonfire to eat meat, but it seemed to be happy, and now the water is inexhaustible for us, almost everyone fills their bellies.
