When Zhang Xiu'e heard her say this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The little boy had not eaten for a long time, his eyes were dizzy with hunger, and he could not stand up straight.

Qin Xiaoniang took out the porridge she had cooked yesterday, filled a small bowl, and fed the boy to drink.

"Let's pack up and hurry, we must leave this desert as soon as possible, and the children will suffer less!"

Zhang Xiu'e nodded, "Okay, I'll go collect the account." ”

After that, Zhang Xiu'e and Li Qiang's daughter-in-law began to pack their luggage, and within a stick of incense, the two put all their luggage on the camel's back.

Wang San on the side instructed two strong men to come and help them pull the camels, while the rest followed behind and walked towards the south together.

Because they didn't eat much in the morning, by noon the children were so hungry that they didn't even have the strength to walk.

Qin Xiaoniang saw that the sun was very hot, and people were thirsty and tired, so they had to decide to eat something in place and then move on.

"There's still porridge in the clay pot, let's share it!"

Zhang Xiu'e wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay." ”

"Mrs. Zhang, what's wrong with your throat?"

Zhang Xiu'e shook her head casually, "It's nothing, it's just a little angry, I talk too much, and my voice is dumb, it's okay." ”

Song He'er knew that she was overworked, and there were not many people now, and the big guy was short of water, so it was inevitable that she would have a dry mouth.

So the most important problem at the moment is not to find firewood, but to find water.

Thinking of this, Song He'er walked to Qin Xiaoniang's side and asked, "A-Niang, are we running out of water?" ”

Qin Xiaoniang lowered her head, took a closer look, and replied: "There are still three pots, not much, if we cook porridge at night, it will definitely not be enough, only enough for us to drink today." ”

"That's not going to work, we have to find a way to find some water......"

"But this is a desert, how can it be so easy to find water?"

Wang San heard the conversation of several people and walked over from not far away, "It's not that there is no water in this desert, if you look carefully, maybe there will be a freshwater lake, but no one may be able to drink it." ”

Song He'er has also seen this kind of natural scene on TV before, but the probability of having a lake is very small, if you can find it, it will be fine, if you can't find it, you have to think of some other ways to take out the water in the space and use it.

"This uncle is right, why don't we spread out and look for it, what if we find it?"

Zhang Xiu'e was also really thirsty, and seeing that this was the only way, she had to nod her head and agree, and decided to go separately with the others to find the lake.

After a few people discussed it, a team split into several waves and began to look for a usable water source.

Song He'er was still with Chunrao and Chundi, but the three of them walked for a long time and didn't see a drop of water.

"He'er, are we going in the wrong direction? What if we can't go back in a while? Chundi asked worriedly.

Song He'er lowered her head and secretly glanced at the compass in her hand, and saw that the direction they were walking in at this time was due west, and they only needed to go east to find the original team after a while.

"Fourth aunt, if you are tired, take a rest here with the fifth aunt, I'll go ahead and take a look myself, I'll be back in a while."

Chundi shook her head, "How old are you, how can we rest assured that you will go alone, even if you are tired, we will follow you!" ”
