At four o'clock in the morning, Ye Xuan woke up.

I woke up from the cold, and at the same time there was a urge to urinate so strong that I was about to burst my bladder.

I got up from the ground in a daze, unbuttoned my pants and peed freely.

Suddenly, the sound of rushing water sounded in the oasis of silence.

After soaking in urine, Ye Xuan's whole person was much more sober, and it was only then that he suddenly realized that he had urinated in the pool just now.

it!

Nima, how do you drink this TM... No, I already drank it two days ago.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan felt a little funny, and then shook his brother again, draining the last bit of aftertaste.

At this time, the night has not yet subsided, and the bonfire has been extinguished at some point, and only through the dim moonlight, you can see a chance of light smoke slowly rising from the embers.

No wonder it will wake up from the cold, it turns out that the bonfire is extinguished.

Just as he was about to light a bonfire, he suddenly felt a huge pain in his lower abdomen, and then...

Pork hair cabbage effect!

It's no wonder that yesterday afternoon he ate a handful of pork hair.

Holding his stomach and running into the distance, after solving his personal hygiene, Ye Xuan felt that his whole person was transparent and refreshed.

A flash of fire crept in, and as firewood was added, the fire grew larger.

The kettle jacket was filled with water, placed it by the bonfire, and after throwing in a few pieces of ground pepper grass, Ye Xuan replaced the battery of the drone, and then opened the live broadcast room.

In just a few minutes, five or six hundred immortal cultivators poured into the live broadcast room.

"Steady first!"

"The victory of the Immortal Cultivators. ”

"Nima, the patriarch is really TM able to sleep, since yesterday afternoon to now. ”

"15 hours, I'm afraid I'm not stupid!"

"Patriarch, what's for breakfast?"

"Same question. What I look forward to most every day is that the patriarch eats, and the thief chicken has a feeling. ”

"Brother, you are sick, you must be cured. ”

Feeling the warmth of the bonfire again, Ye Xuan rubbed his face, and the whole person was completely sleepy.

"Today is my fourth day in Taklamakan and so far I have walked almost 150 kilometres. Not surprisingly, the Tarim Desert Highway should be reached by tomorrow at the latest. ”

He didn't know how far away the desert road was, but judging from the previously planned survival route, it would not exceed 200 kilometers. If you are fast enough today, you will probably be able to reach the desert kilometre in the evening.

Pointing to the waterhole beside him, Ye Xuan said with a smile: "The next journey is much easier than before, and I can replenish enough fresh water and food here." While it's still early, let's go find some breakfast. ”

Hearing him say that he was looking for breakfast, the audience suddenly became excited.

As he spoke, Ye Xuan picked up an arm-thick wooden stick, lit it in the bonfire, used it as a torch, and then walked towards the sand slope on the outskirts of the oasis. As he passed by a clump of camel thorns, he cut off a section with a dagger and held it in his hand.

Coming to the edge of the sand slope, Ye Xuan bent down, held the torch in front of him, and walked all the way along the sand slope, as if he was looking for something.

Soon, a sand hole about ten centimeters in diameter appeared on the sand slope.

Ye Xuan smiled, put the torch in his hand on the edge of the hole, and said in a low voice: "Have you seen this hole, everyone? Jerboas generally live in the arid desert areas of the northwest and are more common in the desert. When you come across a jerboa hole, don't be stupid enough to dig it. Because they are located in caves under the sand layer in all directions, the total length adds up to almost a few tens of meters. ”

"When the locals catch jerboas, they will generally make a fire outside the entrance of the cave, and the jerboas have strong phototaxis, and when they see the fire in the dark, they will unconsciously approach. Wait until the jerboa comes out of the burrow and whips them with camel thorns to catch them easily. With that, Ye Xuan inserted the torch half a meter outside the cave, and then stood on the edge of the cave, holding the camel thorn tightly in his hand.

In general, jerboas hibernate. However, the temperature has been abnormal recently, and the cold snap has not yet arrived, so the jerboa in the cave should not be hibernating.

After waiting quietly for about a minute, the sound of Suosuo was faintly heard in the cave.

A few seconds later, I saw a huge jerboa coming out of the hole, looking at the torch in a daze.

At this moment, Ye Xuan, who had been waiting for a long time, moved, and the camel thorn in his hand that was ready to be launched was pulled down fiercely.

"Tsk!"

Suddenly, the jerboa that was drawn let out a series of screams.

The camel thorn can't whip the jerboa, but the dense fine thorns on it can stick to it firmly.

This jerboa is already relatively large, more than ten centimeters long, but it is estimated that after peeling, there is not much meat. But no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, although it is not enough to eat, at least it is a genuine protein.

Bent down, took the jerboa out of the camel thorns, pinched it in his hand and said with a smile: "Breakfast is here, let's go back!"

Carrying the torch all the way back to the campfire, the salt water in the small pot was already boiling. Sitting on the ground, Ye Xuan took out the dagger and began to deal with the gerbil.

To be honest, this little guy has a really deceptive appearance, with slender hind legs, not like a mouse, but more like a squirrel. At the end of the thin and long tail, there is a touch of black and white fluff, and the eyes are staring at the moment, looking pitiful.

Seeing this scene, some viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly softened.

"Wow, jerboa is so cute!"

"Anyway, it feels a lot like a squirrel. ”

"Patriarch, I'll give 100 yuan, sell me. ”

"God TM 100 yuan, the postage is estimated to be not enough, I will pay 500. ”

"Don't say it, eat it!"

"To tell the truth, the patriarch you can raise by yourself, it's cute. ”

"It's so small, it's gone. ”

"Last time, you tricked me into going treasure hunting in the Sahara, and this time you tried to trick me into coming to Taklamakan to catch jerboas? ”

Glancing at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Xuan pouted and said, "Good girl, you are really rich." If you want, go to the flower and bird market to buy one, it's very cheap, only a few dozen yuan. This thing doesn't look cute, but it's actually not good for desert greening. They feed on plant rhizomes, and a jerboa can kill thousands of plants in a year. ”

In recent years, the northwest region has organized large-scale capture of jerboas. This guy has only disadvantages and no benefits for desert greening projects.

While speaking, Ye Xuan had already cut off the head of the jerboa with a dagger, peeled it and removed the internal organs, washed it briefly in the pool, and then skewered it with a wooden stick and roasted it on the bonfire.

"Rodents, it's best not to eat them raw, because they carry many diseases that can be transmitted to humans, so it's best to roast them thoroughly before eating. ”

The jerboa meat is very small and it doesn't take long for it to turn brown while giving off an enticing aroma.

After roasting for a while, Ye Xuan removed the jerboa from the bonfire, blew it cool and took a bite, "Yes! The meat is delicate, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it seems that my barbecue skills are getting better and better. There are some small bones in the meat that can be chewed and eaten together. ”

There wasn't much jerboa meat, Ye Xuan was gone in three or five bites, and he didn't even let go of the bones, chewed them and swallowed them together.

After drinking all the salt and alkaline water in the small pot, he boiled another pot and poured it into the kettle.

By the time we had done that, it was six o'clock in the morning.

Looking at the white sky in the east, Ye Xuan packed up his things, checked that there were no omissions, and then stepped on the bonfire, "A new day has begun, everyone, let's go!"

It's easy to go down the dunes to the valley floor, but when you go up, it's a bit tough. The angle of the sand slope was a little steep, and the soft sand was very slippery, so it took him a lot of effort to climb up.

Standing on the sand slope, Ye Xuan turned around and glanced at the oasis below, and said with some emotion: "This oasis has been deeply imprinted in my memory, if I have the opportunity in the future, I may come back to take a look." ”

Good bye!

After saying goodbye silently, Ye Xuan turned around and strode towards the east!
