Chapter 298: Desert Orchard
Ye Guangci is right! We must get out of this Gobi Desert immediately, almost a month has passed, Uncle Qin's life and death are unknown, and there is no news of the spirit pattern.
Now the sun was about to set, and the temperature of the ground had dropped considerably, and our kettle had fallen where we had met the monster, and there was nothing to take with us, so we traveled lightly, and the mysterious girl followed us all the time, without saying a word, and without us having to take much care of her.
After walking east for about two hours, it was completely dark, and the temperature plummeted and we had to find a place to spend the night.
The three of us hadn't eaten for a day, and we were already hungry, so I asked Wei Shengjin and Ye Guangci to look at the girl. I had to see if I could find something to eat, and when I came to a dirt slope with a lot of dead trees around, I walked over to a huge dead tree, took out a throwing knife, and cut it down.
Seeing this, Ye Guangci came over to me and said:
"This tree is too strong, if you want to burn the fire, you can just burn it, you are wasting your energy in vain."
As I cut down the tree, I said, "It's not a fire, it's to find food!" ”
"What can you find for these dead trunks? Are you going to eat this dead wood? Ye Guangci was puzzled.
I'm secretly glad I did some homework before I got into the desert, and I'd be dead on these two things. In a few moments I picked out a few worms from the dead trunk, which looked like caterpillars, but they were gray in color and wriggling.
I picked one up with a flying knife and handed it to Ye Guangci.
Ye Guangci was so frightened that he stepped back again and again and said, "Can this be eaten?" Is there any poison? It's disgusting, I'd rather eat snake meat"
"We still need to find snake meat to eat? Poison is certainly not poisonous! Nausea is disgusting, but it's better than starvation," I said, and then I pinched another caterpillar and threw it into my mouth and chewed it, it tasted like a piece of raw meat, and suddenly a fishy smell spread in my mouth, and there was some mud and sand, and I remembered that I forgot to remove the internal organs.
Next, I found a lot of these insects in the dead wood, Ye Guangci and Wei Shengjin both gritted their teeth and closed their eyes and ate a few, what made me the strangest was that I handed the girl a few worms found from the dead wood, and she threw them in her mouth and chewed them without even blinking her eyes, and swallowed them without chewing a few bites, without frowning.
"This girl either sees through the red dust 100% or has a problem with her head," Wei Shengjin stared at the girl like a monster.
I think so! Ordinary little girls are afraid to see caterpillars, let alone eat them raw, I looked at the girl and sighed: "Hey! This little girl is a mystery! ”
Ye Guangci on the side said worriedly: "No matter what's wrong with her, at least she won't harm us, otherwise we would have been eaten by that monster a long time ago, if she is sick, let's take her out and treat her slowly, but first we have to be able to get out, this food is still second, snakes, scorpions, and lizards can eat as long as they can catch them, but where do the four of us go to get water to drink?" It's not that easy to dig up water everywhere, is it? ”
"You say this, I want to pee, there is no water to drink, and the water is discharged" Wei Shengjin on the side stood up and was about to solve the problem from a distance.
"Wait! Let's pee here! I took the snakeskin out of my trouser pocket, tied it in a knot at one end, and handed it to him.
"Isn't it! It's not that exaggerated, is it? The boss ......" Wei Shengjin looked at me dumbfounded.
I said helplessly: "As for not I don't know, be prepared."
Wei Shengjin immediately said to me with a serious face:
"Do you want this girl to pick it up? She's definitely not right, wouldn't it be a pity if it leaked out? I don't know if she's willing to help her or not."
When he said this, I had in my mind the image of the girl writhing from side to side with a snakeskin, and I couldn't get it right.
I was annoyed: "Bah! Get out! ”
Wei Shengjin took the snakeskin and sighed and walked away.
After a while, the goods ran back alive and shouted: "Watermelon! Watermelon! There's a big watermelon over there! ”
I wonder how there are watermelons on this dry and water-deficient Gobi Desert, and look at the past, there is really a large green watermelon vine spread on the ground under a soil slope, and there are many large and small watermelons scattered among the green leaves, but these watermelons are not big in size, the largest estimate is only two or three catties, and the melon skin is distributed with the same lines as the watermelons we usually eat, and they all look verdant.
I walked into it, picked a large one, bent down and reached for it, but I didn't touch anything, as if there were no watermelons there.
I was taken aback, is this another mirage? But mirages don't happen around!
I then kicked a small watermelon not far away, and with a bang, it did, but by my senses, the watermelon was much bigger than I saw.
I was puzzled, this at least shows that the watermelon under my feet is real, not some mirage, could it be that there is something wrong with my head?
I crouched down to take a closer look at the watermelons, and to my surprise, I saw a few bunches of grapes hanging from the vines under the green leaves. Grapes indeed! Purple grapes!
What the is going on! Could it be that an agricultural expert is conducting agricultural experiments on this deserted Gobi Desert?!
Looks like I'm really having a problem with my head! I cautiously reached for the grapes that hung from the melon vines.
I'll go to his second uncle's! I really picked a bunch of green and purple grapes in my hand, it was estimated that it was more than half a catty, but I still found it hard to believe what I saw in front of me, I put my nose against the bunch of grapes and smelled it, there was indeed a fresh fragrance of grapes.
Then I had the courage to pick one from the bunch of grapes, dug a little bit with my fingernails and put it in my mouth, the sweet and sour taste, and my mouth was full of relish, and I was sure that it was grapes!
I couldn't stand it anymore, threw away the grape in my hand, and shouted: What the hell is wrong with not teasing me like this! I would never believe that grapes could grow on this barren Gobi Desert, and they would grow on watermelon vines!
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Wei Shengjin, who was not far away, hurriedly ran over, shouting and chewing something.
I saw that he was actually eating, and asked him in a panic:
"What the are you eating in your mouth! How dare you eat anything? ”
"You've eaten gunpowder! There are a few pear trees over there, and there are a lot of pears on them! The taste is sweet and crunchy, now we are not short of water, come and try it too! As he spoke, he threw something over, and I took it in my hand and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a pear, a big yellow-skinned pear.
I took the pear in my hand, and my tone calmed down, after all, we are hungry and thirsty now, the temptation of this pear is indeed too great, and it is understandable that this thing can't withstand the temptation, even I want to take a bite.
"How can there be pear trees on this Gobi Desert, you dare to eat it without thinking about it? Are you a pig brain? ”
"Hey! What is there to think of! If you don't drink water, you'll die of thirst, and besides, you see I've eaten half of it, isn't it all good? What's the problem? Eat, eat, I'll pick a few more," Wei Sheng said and ran away.
I looked in the direction he was running, and saw no pear trees, not even a dead poplar or a low shrub.
But the pear in my hand is real, I was entangled for a long time and wanted to taste a bite of pear to try, suddenly felt a light in my hand, and looked down to see where there was still the shadow of the pear.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly leaned down to look for the bunches of grapes I had just found, and the grapes disappeared without a trace.
