Chapter 136: Migration
Cui Ming took out a stack of banknotes and divided the money: "Come on, come on, issue chips, the person who loses is running naked for five kilometers in the direction of the sun." ”
Zhier nodded, looked at the wind, the wind did not run naked, and it was difficult to eliminate the regret in his heart. Such a detailed game, I calculated it so clearly, I was cheated by you.
Cui Ming doesn't hate Zhi'er at all now, although his temper is a little weird, but he is very interesting, and after a look at Cui Ming, he discussed that the two of them should work together to get the wind out and run naked. He didn't think it was a boring prank, he didn't show great interest, he just felt that it was good and should be.
There could be no accident, the wind stripped naked and ran naked in a handful of lamentations...... Actually, it's really boring, two men watching a man run naked, which is a prank that only appears in the desert.
The wind is boring, and he won't concentrate on playing, so the two of them play, Cui Ming picked a bunch of small stones from the bushes, and then drew a picture in the sand, and Zhier and Zhier squatted in the sand and began to play backgammon. The wind will be boring when you look at it, and it's boring to walk around, to walk around. So I ran to meet the strong winds, sat cross-legged on the top of the sand dunes and meditated, and felt the difference brought by the violent winds in the desert.
The day passed like this, and the wind opened his eyes, took out his binoculars to look at the bean sprouts spring, and saw two people still squatting on the sand...... How much enmity do these two have? Play backgammon for the whole day. Hungry, I came back lazily, ate, looked at the side for a while, and found that there were no chess pieces on the chessboard, and the chessboard was marked with numbers, one to seventeen in the vertical and seventeen to thirty-four in the horizontal. The means of playing chess are even more jaw-dropping.
"Six, thirty." Cui Ming stared at the chessboard.
Zhier: "Five, twenty-nine." ”
Feng couldn't help but ask, "Are you bored or not?" "Play blind chess.
Cui Ming looked back and looked around: "You find something to talk about." ”
Feng Dao: "There really is. We'll have to go to other oases to gather food. ”
Zhier stood up: "Farewell, come to my house to play when you have time." ”
Cui Ming stood up: "Okay." ”
Zhier turned around and picked up his bag and left. Neither fast nor slow to the desert, disappearing into the distance. Cui Ming looked at the wind. Is this person too big a road, Zhier knows at a glance that he is not an ordinary person. The simplest, playing chess at night, a night without moonlight. Wind is used to the Force Eye, so I think everyone should be able to see clearly.
Feng's focus was not on Zhi'er at all, so he packed up his things and said: "This place is actually not a place to live for a long time, we are mainly active in the third and fourth oases, and I am going to widen and deepen the bean sprouts spring waterway." Fish farming is the mainstay. ”
Cui Ming asked: "Since you know the location of the underground river, why don't you dig a lake out?" ”
"Is that okay?" Wind asked in surprise.
"No, you can't." Cui Ming smiled bitterly, theoretically, but you need equipment and personnel to penetrate the hard surface layer.
The wind doesn't care: "The third oasis is the lake. ”
……
Why there are lakes in the desert, geologists have studied this question for a long time, and they don't know whether it is true or not, anyway, they have come to the conclusion that it is groundwater. Where does the groundwater come from? There are usually glaciers and snow-capped mountains in very far away places. After melting, it reaches here through underground canals. It is also said that because of the good permeability of rainy areas, rainwater can be preserved in underground rivers. True or not, ten days later. Feng and Cui Ming arrive at Moon Lake, which Feng calls a permanent residence.
Moon Lake is quite large, and when you arrived, it was raining in the area. This is not an oasis. There is no greenery around, just like water in a sand basin. Moon Lake is surrounded by sand dunes. The wind says that this place is very strange. The rainfall was very adequate. It is also divided into a dry season and a rainy season, the dry period is winter and spring, and the area of the lake is only one-twentieth of the original size. In the rainy season, it will become so big again. The best thing to see is the grass in the water, which after the drought turns into a puff of greenery, waiting for the rainy season to come.
Wind said he had asked some geologists when he went out, and they told him that lakes in the desert were not uncommon because of a huge underground reservoir underneath. It also rains in deserts, but the rain evaporates quickly, and it can't be a lake, and there is no way for greenery to grow. However, the underground reservoir has a water storage function, and the rainwater falling into the lake will not be absorbed as if it fell on the sand, and will be evaporated by the heat of the sand. At the same time, the continuous precipitation in this area will cool the sandy land, infiltrate the sandy land, enter the rock dust, and finally enter the underground reservoir waterway, which will be stored by the underground reservoir. Why is there no greenery around? Because Moon Lake is just above the reservoir and surrounded by sand dunes, green plants grow during the rainy season, but in the dry season, they die because they can't absorb the water.
Because there is no greenery around, the food in this place is freshwater. Fish, shrimp, and crabs are abundant, but the number is relatively small, and it is due to the dry season. There is also a big project in this wind, which is to dig the Moon Lake deeply, in the words of experts, that is, to reduce the area of the lake and increase the depth of the lake, so that in the dry season can ensure that aquatic animals have a better and larger living environment.
Cui Ming went down to the lake, three meters deep, Cui Ming said: "I think Moon Lake can be used as a permanent residence." ”
"You idiot." Feng Dao: "Of course you can live in the rainy season, how to live in the dry season." During the dry season, I usually go to the fourth oasis, which is the first oasis I encounter, which is the habitat of many animals and plants. Cui Ming, I think the desert is very good, why is there no one living there? ”
"You're an idiot, you go from oasis to oasis, it takes seven days to run wild at the speed of a cultivator, and twenty days for people to walk, can it be the same? In addition, as long as there are people, there will inevitably be a shortage of resources due to the increase in population. This Moon Lake has a maximum of four or five people. If there is a great drought in one year, they will all starve to death. ”
"Hey, I'm the master here, use the right words for me, you know?" Feng replied dissatisfied, he was digging sand, took a sack and a shovel in the middle of the moon lake, dug the sand deeply, loaded it into a sack and transported it, and poured it on the sand dunes next to it.
"......" Cui Ming cast a look of contempt, sat in the water, watched the wind work, and asked, "Don't you feel like you're sharpening an iron pestle?" ”
"Boring left and right, digging for two hours a day. Cui Ming, the most lacking thing in the desert is time, and the most lacking is the law of life, especially for cultivators like us, only with the law of life, you feel that you have thoughts and things to do. "Maybe I'll be able to dig through the rock formations and connect the Moon Lake directly to the underground reservoir." ”
"Then a strong sand storm arrived, piling the dunes into the underground reservoir......"
"yes, that makes sense." If the wind stops and looks left and right, if it is now, even if the sand dunes move to Moon Lake, the water from the underground reservoir can still seep out, as if it is directly covered to the underground reservoir. The bottom of the lake is the protective layer of the groundwater, thinking of this, the wind throws the shovel towards the sand, people fly up with the force, the force is on the soles of the feet, quickly step on the water surface, stand on the sand dunes by the lake, look left and right, this is a sand dune mountain range, surround the Moon Lake, the Moon Lake has the lowest altitude, so the groundwater can seep out of the sand layer. Feng Dao: "One day the Moon Lake was covered by sand dunes, so I dug up the sand in the same place and rebuilt the Moon Lake. ”
Cui Ming replied lazily, lying on the water, the Force also has a disadvantage, it naturally wraps the body, so that the water cannot enter. Cui Ming is now extinguishing the Force and enjoying the comfort brought by the water caressing his skin.
It became the home of the two of them temporarily, three kilometers away from Moon Lake, where there was a windy meat drying rack, the wind caught fish and other aquatic products, and their corpses were dried on the meat drying rack, which became food that could be preserved. Every month, the wind will carry the dried fish to the bean sprout spring to renovate the bean sprout spring, and each time it goes, it will take about 20 days to go back and forth. The wind was also happy about it, and he had a job of his own in the desert anyway. The goal of his work is to transform the bean sprout spring into an oasis of lakes and greenery for two people to live in permanently. Of course not with Cui Ming...... People must have ideals.
The wind is in a hurry a lot of time, he always chooses to set off when the wind is against the wind, not only for work, but also for a kind of cultivation, he can meditate in the middle of the sandstorm, he can let go of his body and mind, and follow the blowing of the wind, which is the wind's unique way to break through himself. Cui Ming obviously can't learn.
Every time the wind leaves, only the silent desert is left, Cui Ming has long been accustomed to loneliness in the prison, sitting quietly in the sand dunes, enjoying the scorching sun and rain, and meditating without distractions. When you're bored, run through the Dune Mountains and train yourself in the use of power-ups and forces. After breaking through the bottleneck, it is necessary to start accumulating your strength bit by bit in order to reach the second bottleneck.
Cui Ming's enhancement department is progressing very quickly, as if he is majoring in the enhancement department. Cui Ming is pursuing the perfect combination of speed and strength, flying cards in the right hand, planning cards in the left hand, having a life card, three cards coexisting, one heart and three uses, not only did not distract Cui Ming, but also successfully fused the three together, becoming an instinctive reaction.
"I think you're adapting well." Every time the wind comes back, he sees that Cui Ming is almost unaffected by the loneliness of the desert, far more than he has lived in the desert for many years, and he always has to sigh.
Cui Ming replied every time: "People will be more angry than people." ”
"Hey, let's talk about it first, you can't take my territory for granted just because you're adaptable, you're a guest, you have to keep that in mind."
"Know, pull." Cui Ming sat on the sand dunes to fly cards, flying cards quickly flew over the lake, drew an arc from top to bottom, and flew into the opposite sand dunes from bottom to top, the most troublesome is to collect cards, every time he flies, he wants to pull out one by one, and the damage rate is very high, fortunately he brought half a mountaineering bag of poker. Cui Ming asked: "Wind, do you want to kill them all?" ”
But I saw that the wind was slaughtering big fish in the lake, and the demand was much higher than before. Feng replied: "There has been almost no rain in the last ten days, we have lived for about half a year, it is almost the dry season, and we must be moved." ”
"To the fourth oasis?"
"The last time I went out to the fourth oasis, I found that the food was not enough for the two of us to survive the dry season. Therefore, this dry season, we have to go to Zhier's house to eat. ”
"Is he okay?"
"He told me that if I didn't have enough to eat, I could go and live in his oasis." (To be continued.) )
