Chapter 43: I Found Water

It didn't take long for breakfast, I wiped my mouth and said righteously: "Although you just came back, there are some things that you shouldn't be allowed to do, but your previous mistakes are too serious, and you must be given the opportunity to work and reform, clean up the table before leaving." ”

The fat man honestly cleaned up the leftovers on the table, and when he wiped the table, he suddenly said, "I'm not leaving, where am I going?" ”

I said strangely, "Aren't you going back to the house?" Are you still planning to rely on me? You don't really have a problem with your orientation, do you? ”

"Damn, you're the problem." The fat man said indignantly: "I am not satisfied with the money I asked for, and the few houses I showed me. You're right, I'm going to rely on that. ”

After saying that, the fat man made another pot of tea in my stunned eyes.

"Go on, you're not done yet."

"Brother Gang, fat brother." I cried out with a sad face: "You can't get tired of sitting and listening, I can't stand it all night." Let me rest for a while, you see, my eyes are swollen. I'll have to get some sleep. ”

The fat man grabbed me. "Hadron, you don't know me, what's wrong? You said that I went to sleep in the middle of the night, what should I do, can I sleep? I don't have to dig the wall in a hurry!? Besides, let you sleep, can you sleep? The fat man said with two big eyes.

Also, as far as the fat man's personality is concerned, he can die in a hurry if he is half-sentenced. He won't let me sleep soundly.

I took a sip from my teacup and almost didn't kill me. I lifted the lid of the teapot and saw that there was no water, and the tea leaves had risen to the spout of the teapot.

"Loser," I cursed silently in my heart.

However, this sip of tea really had a refreshing effect, and I felt my tongue astringent, and my palate was numb, and at the same time, my spirit was lifted all at once.

……

……

……

Now that I think about it, I desperately carried squad leader Liu down to the cracks, which shocked everyone. It was in this situation that Xiao Guolin made me make a promise, in fact, he was not sure who would get out alive, but he determined from this incident that it was worth me if I could get out alive. He thinks I'm a responsible person who can keep my promises.

Xiao Guolin talked to me about his daughter in the dark. From elementary school to middle school to high school, I suddenly stopped and asked him, "Your daughter, how old is Xiao Ting?" “

Xiao Guolin said slowly: "Next year's college entrance examination is coming, it's really fast." It seems that yesterday I was bouncing two pigtails to the kindergarten, and in a blink of an eye, I became a big girl. “

Xiao Guolin was still talking, and I felt in my heart that Yali Mountain was big. I'm not married myself, and I'm still a child in the eyes of my parents, and you entrust me with the care of a big girl in the flower season, so is this especially to lure a wolf into the house or send a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Is this a joke, is there such a father as you? It's so irresponsible!

I tightened my sleeping bag tight, the calories from compressed food weren't enough to withstand the cold. I regretted agreeing to Xiao Guolin's entrustment, and decided on the spot that I would let this thing out alive no matter what. I ignored his introduction and began to prepare myself to go out and find water.

If I go out to find water, I must bring a penlight, which is the largest light source at the moment, even if it is weak and unstable. Lighter, my zippo lighter is a more stable heat light source, this must be brought, if you encounter any combustibles on the road, you can use it to ignite, heat or light. Watch, I looked down at the luminous dial, which flashed a faint glow in the dark. Most of the archaeological team members wear this fluorescent watch, so they can't see the time because of the darkness. But it's hilarious to use it for lighting, and it's probably my last light source.

Morphine, if squad leader Liu insists on going along, bring it. When I made the decision to go out to find water alone, although I knew that I might not be able to come back if I went out to find water, I didn't plan to give these two morphines to Team Leader Liu, I planned to give it to Xiao Guolin, so that I or Xiao Guolin would always have bargaining chips with Team Leader Liu.

As for the little bit of water I have, I don't plan to take it with me. If I can't find a water source, there is no point in me coming back, if I find a water source, then I will have no problem surviving, but those who wait may not be able to hold out until I come back. This pot of water is the hope for Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe to survive.

Xiao Guolin and I squeezed together, and the cold air around us continued to suck the heat out of our bodies. We don't have any extra clothes, Xiao Guolin and I changed the clothes from sleeping bags, the warmth is better, we are all shivering from the cold, and the summer clothes on squad leader Liu and Cao Mingzhe can't resist the cold air. Fortunately, there are no short clothes in the desert overalls, otherwise they would not be able to stand it. I'm a little strange, I slept for more than 20 hours just now, and I didn't freeze to death, it's really hard.

I don't know if it was because of the hypothermia or the overdrawn physical strength did not recover, Xiao Guolin and I sat back to back for a while, and then we began to get confused.

We were woken up by the sound of footsteps, followed by a straight light swaying from a distance.

"Platoon Commander Zhao, is that you?" Squad Leader Liu shouted, and it took a long time for an echo to come from, this place was much larger than the water storage tank above.

"It's me." Platoon Commander Zhao's voice came.

I immediately asked Xiao Guolin to turn on the penlight and give Platoon Commander Zhao directions. After a while, Platoon Commander Zhao and Xu Xinming walked out of the darkness. Xu Xinming was carrying several kettles on his back, looking heavy, his face was flushed because of excitement and fatigue, but his spirit was very good, and he shouted excitedly when he saw us: "Looking for water, we are saved." “

Xiao Guolin jumped up like a young man, hugged Xu Xinming and shouted and laughed. Yes, with water we can live, and we have hope to wait for rescue. I needed to vent too, so I clenched my fists and shouted unbridledly, making a post-Bergkamp post-goal celebration pose. Oh, it's a Dutch star, and for today's youngsters, it's a thing of the past.

Strangely, half of the six didn't join the party. Cao Mingzhe's mental state is not good, I can understand it. Squad leader Liu has something on his mind, which I can understand, the main task of our trip is to find water, even if I put finding water in the first place, this problem is not solved, and the rest are floating clouds. But squad leader Liu is different, he wants to come desperately, and the purpose is definitely not to find water. He is different from me, he came with two purposes in mind, and I am even more sure that he is only here for Song Guilong, and it doesn't mean much to him whether he can find water or not, because it is impossible for him to climb the crack.

But the secretive expression on Platoon Commander Zhao's face made me incomprehensible. Not only did he not join in the revelry, but he didn't even have any expression, he was very cold, but he was not calm!
