Chapter 15: Desert Survival (2)

Chu Yunyun felt like he was standing still in the sauna, the sun above his head was hot and shining, even a simple straw hat was useless, the key was that the ground was constantly evaporating hot air. If you have a little water, it's okay, but it's quite dry here, and I just feel that the water in my body is lost quickly, and the road under my feet has never ended.

Every time she felt that there was an oasis under this mound, she didn't know how much time had passed, and she couldn't tell what direction it was, so she just dragged her legs and walked mechanically. It's not a straight line that shouldn't be walking, but visual fatigue from looking at the sand for a long time, and it's crooked.

Chu Yunyun let the thought that suddenly pop up in her heart scare her into a cold sweat, if she really walked into the desert in other directions, there was no water, not much food, no thick clothes to spend the night, just relying on this weak body, she really didn't dare to think about it anymore.

And now I have come to my senses in a frightened way, how can I be sure that I can go in this direction to the oasis? Why do I believe that I can walk in the desert for the first time without water, even if the road ahead does not work, I can return to that village before the evening? Why are I so confident that I will not get lost without the help of any tools and without any representative signs? This is a desert, there are no obvious buildings in the city to tell you where you are, and this is not modern, maybe some wild things will come out to move when the weather is cold, what should you do?

Should it really be said that the ignorant are fearless?

The more Chu Yunyun thought about it, the more scared she became, the more she was scared and the more she thought, the experience of this day really surpassed any of her cognition, she was just an ordinary person, and she was also an ordinary person who had a smooth life and almost never faced the setbacks alone.

I took it for granted before, or I didn't really realize that the environment I was in now was real, and I always felt like I was dreaming, so I habitually coped with an indifferent mentality. But now, as far as the eye can see, except for the occasional shrub, a few unknown grasses sticking to the surface, and unknown lizards skimming by, there is only oneself. The world is vast, and a person's breath seems more empty, helpless, and lonely.

Thinking of his relatives and friends at home, as well as Chu Xun, tears unconsciously welled up. She knew that she shouldn't cry anymore when she lacked water in her body, but no matter how she wiped it, she couldn't control it, so she simply didn't care, and she cried for the first time in her life.

I don't know how long I cried, until I couldn't shed tears, Chu Yunyun twitched and cleaned himself up, took out the meat and cakes from the baggage and ate them slowly. Everyone can be weak and indulge, but hope must not be given up in any case. Especially when you are confused, you can't give up your goal and lose the direction you guide, otherwise you may never recover.

After Chu Yunyun comforted himself, he cheered himself up again. It was impossible to go back the way she came, firstly, there was not enough time, and secondly, she did not know where she would end up going back, and there was not much food left. Now I can only move on, but I don't know if it is a desert or an oasis waiting for me in front of me, at least it is still a landform similar to the Gobi, not a complete desert. Anyway, I didn't know anything, so I just took one last gamble and went in the direction of the sun.

There will always be unknown miracles that will happen if you go on, and there will only be one result if you stay where you are and mourn yourself.

After walking for a while, Chu Yunyun knew that he was not walking in a straight line, because the sun would not set in a straight line, but now he couldn't take care of it. I turned over another mound, and what appeared in front of me was still a mound, and the sun was already clearly setting in the west.

Chu Yunyun remembered that he had seen a news article before, saying that someone had walked excessively in order to Pk friends in the pedometer software, resulting in synovitis, knee effusion and other symptoms. I used to exercise every morning before, and I would also pay attention to my posture and pace. Today they all walked the way they did when they exercised, but now the thighs, knees, calves, feet, and even the waist are shouting that they are overwhelmed.

It's just that there is no way, she seems to have only one thought left for her to continue walking, and she doesn't even bother to look at the birds running around from her side.

Wait, what did she just say too lazy to look closely, birds? Is it a bird?

Chu Yunyun looked around nervously, and sure enough, he found that there were a few birds running back and forth on the mound in front of him, and rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then he looked at it again, it was still there, not an illusion. She remembers that when she was studying geography before, she seemed to have seen that many animals in the desert would come out in the morning or evening when the weather was not hot, and some animals would come out at night. The bird's life is not watery, does this mean that she is already close to the oasis?

Chu Yunyun slowly walked towards the hill in front of her in a state of apprehension, she didn't know what was thinking in her heart at the moment. The Oasis of Hope appeared in front of her immediately, but she was afraid that the despair after Hope would be too painful, and if the Oasis did not appear again, she was not sure if she would be able to continue to persevere, after all, her physical strength was seriously overdrawn.

Fortunately, the heavens heard her prayer, when standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the clear water, grassland or trees at the foot of the mountain, even though the area of this oasis is not large, Chu Yunyun felt that this was the happiest and happiest moment since he came to this world. This small oasis means hope and life, and it is the motivation for her to go on.

Looking at the oasis as if he was full of strength, Chu Yunyun quickly ran down.

The river water is very clear, and after taking a sip, I feel that it is cold and cold, this should be the snow water that melts on the snowy mountain, Chu Yunyun took several sips, washed his face, and then felt alive.

Sitting on the grass by the river, looking at the obvious marks of being gnawed, someone had grazed here before, but unfortunately they didn't meet it. There is a forest of small poplars around, with the occasional red willow in it, and some low plants next to it.

The sun is about to set, and I heard that the desert sunset is very late in the summer, so I don't know what time it is. On the river, Chu Yunyun took out the food and ate it.

She didn't know where there were villages around, so she didn't dare to venture to find them. And the desert at night is too dangerous, and if you encounter a wolf or something, it will become someone's dinner. After relaxing at this moment, I feel weak, and I don't know how to cope with the temperature at night. I just want to stop here tonight, it is estimated that it will be dawn in a few hours, and there will always be villagers who come here to graze again, and waiting here is the safest way at present.

After the temperature dropped, Chu Yunyun didn't dare to get close to the shrubs and plants anymore, for fear that he would encounter snakes, rats, insects and scorpions that came out to wander, and the temperature dropped sharply at night, and the ground would definitely be very cold. Before it was dark, I went into the poplar forest, and after looking around, there was a crooked neck tree near the inside, almost two meters high, just the right height. If she is short, it is easy for the animal to go up, and if she is tall, she can't climb up.

After confirming that there were no snakes and insects, Chu Yunyun rubbed up little by little from a relatively short place. I finally moved to the right place and sweated, and I knew that I was naughty when I was a child and learned to climb trees. Fortunately, this tree is thick enough, and it can't be broken by being tossed so much.

By this time it was completely dark, and there was an occasional rustling sound around, and I don't know if it was the sound of the wind blowing the leaves or the sound of animals crawling. When the eyes can't see, the sensitivity of the ears will be significantly improved, and Chu Yunyun began to miss the silence of the day, if there is no sound, at least he won't make up something in his brain to scare himself.

This day was the longest and most painful day in Chu Yunyun's life.
