"Xiaoye! Leaflet! ”

After resting for a long time, after everyone recovered, the group replenished some water and food and continued on the road, and when they were on the road the next day, they suddenly heard an exclamation behind them.

"Xiao Ye, what's wrong?"

Yu Mantang frowned slightly, and the last one came around.

"Xiao Ye is suffering from dehydration, and he just fell off the camel's body because of a coma!"

Shirley Yang replied with Ye Yixin, who had just woken up.

"Dehydration? How did she get dehydration? Don't we have any more water? ”

Yu Mantang's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at the camel team, it was because of this problem that he specially summoned more than thirty camels to carry a lot of supplies, half of which were carrying water, why is there still no water now?

"Before, because of the problem of ants in the ancient city, the fuel, equipment, water and food in the room we brought into the shelter from the wind and sand were not brought out, and the camels were also attacked by the marching ants, although in the end because of the restraint of your camel king did not run away, but also under the siege of the marching ants, we lost most of the materials because of the struggle, and we were out of water half a day ago."

Hu Bayi explained to Yu Mantang, but he had already explained this, and Yu Mantang's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then why didn't anyone tell me about this?" ”

Hu Bayi hesitated a little and said, "I wanted to talk to you before, but you were meditating, because the two of them guarded you and didn't let us get close, so I didn't tell you." And you said before that you won't say a word about the route, so as not to cause the route to change at that time, and you can't find the thing you are looking for that is related to Ding Sitian, so I won't tell you again after that. ”

"So what's going on now? Why didn't you go straight to the water source before? ”

Hu Bayi sighed: "I first avoided the black sandstorm before, and then was chased by ants for a day and a night, these two outlaws didn't care about the direction at all, let alone looking for a water source, and even the way back is now gone." ”

"Is there really no water at all? And what about food and other things? Have you discussed it with Anliman? He claims to be a living map in the desert, can't he be helpless? ”

Hu Bayi sighed: "There is still a little bit of water left in everyone's kettle, I don't know if it's enough to drink at one time, food and other supplies are okay, and there are still a lot of things preserved on your camels." But the tools of the archaeological team were basically all gone because they were placed on Anliman's camels, ....... ”

Yu Mantang interrupted Hu Bayi's words with a wave of his hand: "Those things are gone, our goal is not archaeology, but to find things, and sooner or later we will have a conflict with them." After all, the thing I'm looking for can be said to be a rare treasure like no other in the world, and in the eyes of these nerds, it is a cultural relic that must and can only be handed over to the state, so as long as they don't die, they can take on the right role as your team leader......"

Maybe it's the retribution of the Tianli cycle, Yu Mantang just interrupted Hu Bayi's words here, and the fat man and An Liman on the other side interrupted his words, and before he could continue, the fat man and An Liman over there had already quarreled, and even the two of them had already fought.

"Old man! You know your camels! I ask you, is it the camel or the human life that is important!? ”

Yu Mantang and Hu Bayi were far away, and Shirley Yang and the others were not far away, seeing the two people arguing and fighting, they hurriedly went over to stop the two people and separated, but the fat man was not at all weak, not only weighed, but also far beyond ordinary people, and it was not at all something that a few old scholars and nerds who had gone to half their lives under the two escapes could stop it, and at this time, Chu Jian and the others who broke free and stopped him were about to continue to fight with An Liman, and were stopped by Hu Bayi who rushed over closely.

"Of course my camel is more important! Without camels, we wouldn't have been able to walk out of the desert! ”

Anliman's words made everyone agree, after all, in the desert, if there is no camel to walk on these two legs, then even if there is food and water, it is impossible to walk out of the desert. After all, their current location is not on the edge of the desert, but in the center of the desert, it can be said that there are no people in a radius of hundreds or even thousands of miles.

"I didn't say that I slaughtered all the camels, just slaughtered one to save Xiaoye's life! Could it be that the life of a camel is not as heavy as the life of a big living person in Xiaoye? ”

The fat man's words are not unreasonable, not counting the camels of Yumantang, there are twenty camels that An Liman brought into the desert this time, and they are only ten people including Yumantang, killing a camel to save his life is not as serious as An Liman said.

"Fatty, don't talk nonsense, what to slaughter? How could a camel be slaughtered? Kill the camels, what do we take out of the desert? ”

Hu Bayi then understood why the two were arguing, and quickly stopped the fat man, although what the fat man said was very reasonable, but the method of killing a camel was an extreme choice in extreme circumstances. It should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because although this method can relieve a temporary urgent need, it is tantamount to a method of drinking water to quench thirst.

"No, Lao Hu, what do you look like in Xiaoye? She shouted at Brother Hu one by one, can you still see death and not save you? I also know that we can't get out of the desert without camels, but if we don't get through this level in front of us, even if we give us a few hundred camels, Xiaoye won't be able to get out of this desert, and we won't be able to get out of this desert! ”

The fat man immediately screamed, and what he said went straight to the deepest part of everyone's hearts, because at this time it was really the most objective problem in front of him that could not be ignored.

Camels are indeed important, but if they can't even keep their appointments, how can they get out of the desert?

The premise of getting out of the desert is to be alive in the first place, otherwise what is the use of having more camels?

"Fatty, this opening can't be opened, we do have a lot of camels in front of us, but once this opening is opened, then we can't stop it, sooner or later one day the camels will be killed by us, this way of drinking water to quench thirst, not to the desperate situation, we had better not use it." So, let's first count how much water you have? Give Xiaoye a drink first, to ensure her life, if in the end, when we really don't have a drop of water, then let's start with my camel, how about it? ”

Yu Mantang stopped the fat man, and when he heard his words, everyone hurriedly spoke, picked up their own kettles and counted the water, but in the end, there were only half a pot of water for nine people's kettles together, and there were no more than three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls.

"Mantang, do you still have water in that gourd?"

Unlike other people who use marching kettles or water to fill water, Yumantang uses a very beautiful large copper gourd, when hanging on the waist, occasionally because of the wind-blown Yumantang coat corners lifted, the sun looks like gold.

"I'm ...... here"

Yu Mantang untied the gourd on his waist and hesitated, but the fat man was not polite to him, and directly reached out and grabbed it from his hand and shook it: "It's over, there is no water in your big gourd!" ”

The fat man shook it vigorously several times, but he didn't hear the slightest sound from the gourd, as if it was an empty gourd, so angry that he threw the gourd directly to the ground.

The fat man didn't notice anything unusual in Yu Mantang's complexion, but Hu Bayi did: "Mantang, ...... in your gourd?" ”

Yu Mantang was silent for a moment, picked up the gourd from the ground and pulled out the gourd mouth: "Everyone is familiar all the way, don't say anything else, just like the fat man said just now, Xiao Ye shouted one big brother after another along the way, and now at this time, can I still see death and not save me?" ”

Speaking of this, Yu Mantang sighed, lifted the gourd and poured it into his mouth, because Yu Mantang deliberately lifted it a little high, and all the people clearly saw a stream of water flowing out of the mouth of the gourd, and fell directly into Yu Mantang's mouth.

"Although there is no water in my gourd, there is some wine, let Xiao Ye drink a little in case of emergency."

Wine?

Everyone was stunned, and at this time, someone suddenly remembered, as if since entering the desert, Yu Mantang had never poured water into his gourd, because he had a problem with Yu Mantang before, and Yu Mantang was faintly excluded by them, so no one found out about this situation.

"No, the leaves themselves are dehydrated, although there is also water in the wine, but the alcohol will accelerate the blood flow and cause the body to heat up, but it will consume more water, and the little water contained in the wine is not enough for the human body to consume under the action of alcohol."

The fat man didn't care about this or that, and hurriedly grabbed the gourd of Yumantang and was about to give it to Xiao Ye to drink, but he was quickly stopped by Shirley Yang.

"Don't worry, my wine is not the kind of liquor with a high number, although I like to drink liquor, and it is like a throat-burning liquor like stuffing a donkey, burning a knife, and Lao Baigan, which is above 65 degrees to about 75 degrees, but my gourd is filled with rice wine with a very low degree, which is less than the degree of beer. If you ask Fat Man and Lao Hu about this, you will know that this is her favorite wine......"

The movements of the fat man and Hu Bayi immediately stopped there with Yu Mantang's last sentence, especially the fat man, after Yu Mantang said that this was 'the wine she likes to drink', he directly took a gourd and poured a big mouthful of u into his mouth, and then the whole person stood motionless as if petrified, and only after a while did he tremble like an electric shock.

“…… Flower carving ...... Huadiao, that's right, it's this taste, it's this Huadiao, that's it...... That's it......"

poured himself a big sip of wine, but the fat man didn't swallow it all, but still left a small sip in his mouth, tightly closed his lips and savored it for a long time, tears couldn't help but flow down, and the whole person kept muttering like a demon.
