We leave the rock where we were hiding. I patted the sand on my body and head, half-covered my eyes with my hands, and looked into the sky.

The sun shone out from the still somewhat dim sky. The hot wind surrounded us.

Wu Zhijun said to Su Man: "Sister Su, which direction are we going?" ”

Su Man looked at the sky and looked around, she frowned and thought for a moment, as if her face was embarrassed.

I asked, strangely, "What's wrong?" What's the problem? ”

Suman crouched down and drew on the sand with his hands, "We came along this road, encountered a sandstorm, and then lost our course. I remember going in the direction of this after that, so we're probably in this position now. As he spoke, Suman nodded on the sand, and then continued, "The problem now is that we have two options now, or go to the edge of the desert, but I don't know how far we are from the edge of the desert right now. Or, walking towards the village I mentioned earlier. ”

Su Man compared the general direction of the two positions, and I can understand why she is a little difficult, after all, the two positions are completely different directions.

Suman stood up and looked at us, "I was the driver in the car just now, so everything went according to my route, and now the car is stuck and I can only walk, and I don't have much more experience than you when it comes to trekking through the desert, so I want to ask your opinion." ”

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't have any opinion, either way, let's hear the professional thoughts of the two college students." ”

Meng Chao scratched his head, "We just graduated and don't have any practical experience, and we've never been to the desert, so we really don't have any ideas." ”

Wu Zhijun looked at Su Man, "Let's listen to Sister Su, I will go how you say you go." ”

I couldn't help but smile, and said in my heart that this kid was quite a sycophant.

Su Man nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll come on instinct, let's go in this direction." With that, Su Man waved his hand and took the lead in walking in one direction.

"Which direction are we heading?" I said as I followed Suman.

"I think the village is closer to us," Su Man wiped the sweat from his forehead, "so we're heading in the direction of the village now." But," Suman said after a pause, then added, "if my guess is correct, though. ”

"Guess wrong?" I remembered what happened before, so I said, "No, I see you're quite familiar with this place, and if you hadn't found that mudstone before, we'd probably not survive that sandstorm." ”

Su Man smiled at me, "Believe it or not, I am indeed blinded." God forbid. ”

I looked at Suman in some surprise, but I couldn't see any joking expression on her face.

We walked for a long time in the direction indicated by Suman, but still did not see any sign of the village. The sun and the hot wind combined with the scorching heat of the sand beneath our feet made our mouths all feel parched.

Luckily, we all brought some water with us, but it was only a temporary relief.

We walked for a while, and the sweat was already soaking through our clothes. I looked at the harsh sunlight in the sky, and at the moment they were scorching the desert.

The hot sun and dry hot air made me feel like I was in a drying oven, sweat was constantly flowing out of my body, and I felt some worries, there was a lot of water loss in my body, plus there was not enough water to replenish. If we continue like this, we will soon become dehydrated.

I looked into the distance, and there were still undulating sand dunes, where there was a shadow of a village.

Meng Chao in the back took two quick steps, and then squatted on the ground, "No, I can't walk, Sister Su, how far is the village you are talking about?" ”

Su Man stood still and licked his dry lips, "I don't know, maybe it's not far away." ”

"Sister Su, are you telling the truth?" Meng Chao took off his glasses and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "We have been walking for so long, how can there be any shadow of the village, will we not find a way out and die here?" ”

Suman glanced at him and didn't speak. Meng Chao sat on the ground with his buttocks, but he screamed "ah", and jumped up with his buttocks, "It's so hot!" ”

I patted Meng Chao on the shoulder, "We can't stop now, even if we get lost, we must find a place to hide from the sun, otherwise, we will really die of dehydration." ”

"Huh?" When Meng Chao heard me say this, his face immediately changed in fright, "Yes, yes, I remembered, I have seen such content in a book." But the book doesn't say how to find a place to hide from the sun! ”

I shook my head with a wry smile and said to myself that this guy is such a nerd.

Wu Zhijun was much stronger than Meng Chao, he climbed the nearest big sand dune, stood up straight and looked into the distance as best he could, and then waved his hand at us and shouted, "Sister Su, there seems to be a mudstone in front of you." ”

When we heard this, we also hurried towards the top of the sand dune.

Reaching the top of the sand dune, Wu Zhijun pointed with his hand, "It's in that direction." ”

I followed his hand and sure enough, behind a sand dune, I saw a part of the fiery red rocks, similar to the mudstone formations we had just visited.

Meng Chao also climbed up, also looked into the distance, and said with some doubts: "This, could it be the mudstone we stayed in just now?" ”

As soon as he said this, Wu Zhijun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "This won't be, unless we go around in circles?" ”

"No," Suman waved his hand, "the position of the sun hasn't changed, it's always behind us, and we're not going back." ”

"Yes, yes," Wu Zhijun patted his head, "Sister Su, you are too powerful." I didn't expect you to be good-looking and understand more. ”

I really admire this kid's mentality, and he still wants to tease Suman at this time. It's a pity, I think his chances of success are extremely low, he can deal with little girls in this way, but it may be difficult to deal with a mature type like Su Man. But come to think of it, I'm also bored and gossip about such things.

"Then let's go quickly, if we continue to consume like this, we will really be dehydrated." I shook off the confusion in my head, waved my hand, and headed for the bottom of the dunes.

As the saying goes, the mountain runs a dead horse, and the same is true in the desert. I felt like I had been gone for a long time, and I had drained the last drop of water from the kettle. The whole mouth and respiratory tract are burning and painful. Look at Wu Zhijun and Meng Chao again, how could the two of them just graduate college students go through such a thing, Wu Zhijun didn't have the heart and energy to pat Su Man, and he stumbled like Meng Chao.

Su Man's lips were also chapped, she looked at me, and then said to Meng Chao and Wu Zhijun, "Hold on a little longer, it will be here soon, and it will be much better to avoid the sun." ”

Neither of them could speak, but nodded in a daze.
