Chapter 170: The Desert Wolf (1)
There was one less nonsense Scarface in the team, and it seemed much quieter and more boring. Chen Yang's "tragic encounter" between truth and falsehood has also been recognized and sympathized by everyone, and Hongsao's wound has healed for unknown reasons, although everyone is still a little suspicious of Chen Yang, but it doesn't matter anymore, and everyone's mood has improved.
Since she slapped Chen Yang last night, Sister-in-law Hong's eyes looked at Chen Yang a little awkwardly, and the more awkward she was, the more she couldn't help but want to look at him more. Chen Yang's white but weather-beaten face hides many secrets that people can't guess.
Hongsao's sister-in-law didn't believe Chen Yang's touching words, and always felt that this kid was not a simple character. His wounds healed after he touched the palm of his hand, and the spiritual power that forced out the snake venom in his body was only produced when he touched himself.
Chen Yang felt the gaze of the red sister-in-law from time to time, pretended not to find it, gave people a tired and panting look, followed the camel with small steps, and walked forward with the footprints left by the person in front.
Last night, I secretly went to treat my sister-in-law's wounds, and I was slapped in the face, and now I feel that my face is still hot, and there is a price to pay for doing good deeds, Chen Yang feels that it is difficult to be a good person, especially a person who does good deeds without leaving a name.
When Chen Yang stroked Hongsao's wound, he felt her unsteady heartbeat, which showed that Hongsao's was pretending to be asleep; when healing the wound, he felt that Hongsao's skin was very smooth and soft, and the stroking feeling was similar to Long Xiaoyu's, and it didn't look like a half-old, and the expressions of the three brothers of the Zhou family towards Hongsao were not normal.
Chen Yang and Sister-in-law Hong were puzzled in their hearts, and they looked at each other several times, and they hurriedly pretended to be indifferent and looked away.
The brothers of the Zhou family also saw the clues between the two, and they all pretended not to see it, several people laughed, and from time to time they made a joke with Chen Yang.
Seeing that it was noon again, Chen Yang began to be thirsty again, his water was gone yesterday morning, and he relied on a few people to give him even water to quench his thirst for half the day. said that he could reach a place with a water source this morning, but Chen Yang didn't keep his mouth, and accidentally drank it again.
Seeing Chen Yang drinking water from the kettle, the kettle was all facing the sky, and the red sister-in-law knew that Chen Yang's water had finished drinking again, and shook her kettle, but she couldn't hear the sound of the water shaking, and she was almost in a state of no water.
"Big brother, how long will it take for us to get to a place with a water source?" asked Hongsao.
"Because you were bitten by a snake, we have been delayed for a while, and it is estimated that it will be half an afternoon, so you can hold on a little longer! Boss Zhou said.
Chen Yang knew that Boss Zhou was saying this to himself, don't think about asking for water, everyone is gone like you. Chen Yang endured it, but still said, "Brother Zhou, why don't we take a break and leave." ”
Boss Zhou said: "You can't stop now, you must find a water source before it gets dark, if it's dark, this borderless desert, where to find water." ”
Boss Zhou spoke, but Sister-in-law Hongsi did not object, no one dared to say a word, and everyone had to move forward non-stop.
Sister-in-law Hong knows that what the eldest brother said is true, if you miss the water source, and then go to the next water source, you may be thirsty to death in the middle, in this desert, you can endure a day or two without food, and it is absolutely not okay without water.
"Everyone has worked hard, we will eat some dry food while walking, and then we will rest when we go to the water source, and then everyone will eat and drink enough. Boss Zhou said.
The north wind whistled and tightened as if it were getting stronger and stronger, and the wind began to wrap up fine sand, hitting the pain in the face.
Chen Yang took a bite of the cold, hard stone-like bun, and there was not even saliva in his mouth, and the dry bun couldn't swallow it at all.
Everyone nibbled on dry buns against the cold wind, and walked for a long time with difficulty, and saw a tall sand dune not far ahead, and the four camels seemed to sense something and jogged in the direction of the dune.
Boss Zhou shouted loudly: "Everyone work hard, the water source is in front of the sand dunes." ”
When everyone was exhausted, they finally climbed the high sand dunes and just took a breath at the top of the dunes. Chen Yang saw several people wrapped in clothes, lying on the sand, and sliding down under the sand dunes with their heads and feet.
Seeing Chen Yang's eyes widen and looking at the Western scenery, he seemed to watch everyone quickly slide down. Sister-in-law Hong also packed up and sat on the sand, and said, "Brother Chen Yang, what else are you looking at, hurry up and go down with me!"
Chen Yang also followed their example, straightened his clothes, lay on the sand and slid down.
The dunes are steep, the sand is soft, and the sand flows as the body lies up, and the sand slides faster and faster.
Chen Yang didn't expect that he would come to the bottom of the sand dune without force, and several other people stood up, sorted it out, and waited for Hongsao and Chen Yang.
Chen Yang slid down the sand dunes for the first time and thought it was fun, but he didn't grasp the direction well, and he deviated from the direction in the middle, and was one or two hundred meters away from the place where everyone went. Sister-in-law Hong followed Chen Yang closely, afraid that something would happen to him.
Seeing Boss Zhou and the others running towards the water source a few hundred meters away, Chen Yang and Hongsao did not go to meet Boss Zhou and the others, and walked towards the water source in front of them from here.
The water source below the dunes was a large lake, but it was the dry winter season, and the cold climate had dried up the water source, and the meagre little water in the small puddle in the deepest part of the lake had frozen.
Boss Zhou saw a few people around the puddle from a distance, and quickly stopped, waving his hand to signal the others to stop as well. Because he saw not only the human figure, but also the figure of the desert wolf and the sound of several wolf howls.
The others also heard the wolf's howl and looked at each other in horror, and everyone knew what it meant, that is, the wolf and the man were fighting for the limited water source. The person who arrived first had already confronted or fought with the wolves, and if they wanted the wolves to retreat, they had to beat him and run away.
The wolves in the desert are extremely ferocious, and food is scarce in the desert, so they often attack people who pass by.
In front of the puddle, two desert wolves and four people were confronting each other, and the thirsty wolves did not back down, and the water was just a little bit, and it was frozen. I can't drink it in my mouth for a while, and the waves have been dangling on the ice for a long time, unable to open the ice and drink water, and their tempers are irritable, so people come to fight with them.
An eagle flew by in the air, and the sound of spreading its wings came down. An old man with a dog-beating stick moved when he heard the sound, his thin body flashed, and a figure flew towards a wolf.
The stick fell like lightning, and the place where it fell was a frozen piece of sand, and it hit a piece of yellow sand, and the stick sank deep into the sand, so you can imagine how strong the stick was.
The wolf quietly dodged, retreated to the front of the old Hanako, landed on the ground on his front legs, his back was raised high, his eyes were shining, and before the old Hanako came back to his senses, he pounced on him like an arrow off the string.
Hanako, who was still thinking about how the wolf dodged his fatal blow, did not expect the wolf to be smarter than him and attacked one step ahead of him.
The wolf pounced on the old man Hanako from mid-air, and also wanted to kill him with a blow, which is called rudeness! It seems that this wolf has won the three flavors of it.
Hanako, who was a master of the masters, fell backwards suddenly, and turned his back to the sky, and at the same time the dog stick turned into a sharp sword and lifted upward, and the fierce wolf pounced on him quickly, and the dog stick also slashed over its belly.
The wolf that flew over fell heavily on the hard sand, only to feel pain, roared and howled a few times, fell headlong and cursed, and a large area of sand under him was stained red with bright red wolf blood.
When the other wolf saw the death of his companion, he howled a few times and flipped away from the desert with his tail between his legs.
"It's still the predecessors. Team Leader Zheng woke up from his stunned expression for a long time, and praised at an inopportune time.
"I've sweated for my seniors, and my palms are still sweaty. said with palpitations.
"I was also in a cold sweat, I didn't expect this wolf to be so fast and so smart. The old name Hanako said with some fear.
"Let's smash the ice to get water! The wolves will be around soon. said.
Team Leader Zheng raised a small hammer and smashed it at the ice. Bump, bump, bump, fine ice slag splashed on the ice, and there were a few white marks on the ice, not even a crack.
"The ice is too thick to be smashed with a hammer. After smashing it more than a dozen times, Team Leader Zheng said in frustration.
"I'm coming!" said.
slammed their palms into the ice, and after a few snaps, the ice cracked a dozen cracks, but it still didn't break.
"It's too frozen. said. It took a lot of her strength to get these ones.
Team Leader Zheng took the hammer and smashed it more than a dozen times in succession before he smashed a small gap, but then he lamented and said: "It's been in vain that there is no water under the ice, and all this bit of water has been frozen into ice." ”
lifted several thick blocks of ice one after another, and there was indeed a dry lake bottom below, and there was not a drop of water except for the damp sand.
Risking his life to kill a wolf turned out to be a thick block of ice, which was a result that several people did not expect.
"Ice is also water, but it has to be burned with fire, so hurry up and find firewood to turn the ice into water, this is not a place to stay for a long time, take water and leave quickly, the wolves will arrive while talking. Hanako, the old name, said.
"It's someone again!" said Team Leader Zheng as he looked at the figure walking in the distance.
"First bring the ice cubes over and pile them in piles, and those people in the province will grab them. looked at the small amount of ice and said.
The picked up a large piece of ice from the bottom of the lake to a high place to lay it down, and then quickly returned, and the other two people were also in a hurry to carry a few thick pieces of ice.
The old man Hanako stood in front of the ice pile, vigilantly looking at Boss Zhou and the others who came over, and when he saw that they were numerous, he suddenly became worried.
