Chapter 25
45
At noon, the bright white light approached the desert, scorching the desert, and the desert scorching everything. The rising heat waves were like fire snakes swallowing tired wealth.
Fugui was eager to get out of this desert. After all, there was no slight shade here. The scorching sun above his head and the heat waves of sand below him. He knew that if he was trapped here, the consequences would be unimaginable. But this desert was too big. After walking for nearly a day, the desert was still boundless.
Fugui felt his physical strength drop sharply, and his lips were cracked and bubbled. The worst thing was that there was not much water in the kettle. He stood on a sand dune in the scorching sun and looked around, and finally found a sand dune that could escape the sun. He crawled and rolled down from the dune, lying under the dune, gasping for breath.
It took him a long time to open his backpack, take out the half of the steamed bun, and swallow it with his neck.
Still hungry!
But apart from virtual equipment, there is no food to fill your stomach in the backpack. Now the only energy supply is left to half a pot of water. He carefully poured the water in the pot into the lid, moistening his dry and cracked lips. The feeling of refreshingness was never before.
He lay there again, looking at the drawings and calculating the journey silently. If he walked out of this desert, it might take more than two days, but in these two days, he had to find food and water to fill his hunger!
However, in the vast desert, except for sand and heat waves, there is almost no life here. Where can he find it?
Not long after walking, the gurgling sound of flowing water suddenly came from the front. Fugui took a few steps. Sure enough, a river appeared in front of him. The clear river water slowly flowed like a jade belt, gently spreading on the yellow sand, adding a yearning for life to this lifeless desert. Fugui jumped into the water and lifted up the river to wash his face dirty by sweat and sand. But unexpectedly, the river water here was hot, and his face was so hot that it felt uncomfortable... He was suddenly shocked, opened his eyes, but he was still lying under the hot sand dune. The shade was gone. The sun shone straight on his face, his cheeks were covered with sweat, it turned out to be a dream!
He smiled self-deprecatingly, put on his backpack and slowly moved forward along the sand dunes.
When the sun sets, the sunset is red, as if it tear a hole in the clouds, dripping with red blood, making the desert red. "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight", but now he only sees the desert, and where is the lonely smoke? He sighs at the beauty of nature, but is anxious that he cannot find food to fill his stomach.
He had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery here anymore. Now he not only needs to find food, but also find a place to rest.
Fortunately, after walking less than a few kilometers, I finally found a piece of cutting grass.
He learned about the knowledge of survival in the team's wild, and the roots of this grass were deeply rooted, not only containing a lot of water, but also able to satisfy his hunger. He was secretly grateful. He knelt down excitedly and pulled the soft sand with his hands. He was always clean, and he didn't care that the sand fell on his neck and clothes.
I dug more than a meter deep, but I still couldn't dig the grass roots, and the sand below had begun to become hard. Fugui sat down and took a breath. The sun had already set on the edge of the desert. Only thousands of rays of light passed through the sunset reluctantly, emitting dazzling light.
Fugui wiped his sweat, pulled out his saber from his arms, and began to pick the hard sand and stones piece by piece. After digging like this for more than half an hour, he finally dug out a few fresh grass roots!
Fugui roughly wiped the sand and soil with his clothes, scraped off the hard skin with a saber, and the exposed light yellow flesh contained shiny water droplets. Fugui stuffed it into his mouth like a hungry wolf. It was a bit bitter, but it was indeed very moisture-filled, but it was a little difficult to swallow. But for the hungry Fugui, these things are far better than any delicacies of mountains and seas.
He ate something and felt much better. He took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark and dug dozens of them in succession, enough for two days to eat. He put the grass roots into his backpack with satisfaction. When he finished his work, the crescent moon emitted a faint silver light under the dark clouds.
"Sleep." He burped and ordered himself happily. Suddenly he felt a little different from the commanding tone, so he shouted loudly at the dark sky: "I want to rest!" After that, he sat there stupidly and had a long time of fun.
After closing his eyes for a while, the sweaty clothes stuck tightly to his body, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable. He simply picked up some dry firewood around him and took out the only match. After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't bear to use it.
He took out the rope from his backpack, cut a small piece with a saber, untied the hemp ropes, and turned them into furry hemp balls. He wandered around and found two white stones, paddled the hemp balls on one stone, and kept hitting the other stone. The splashing sparks lit the hemp balls in a while. He leaned close to the hemp balls and blew them with his mouth, put them in the dry firewood pile. After a while, a ball of flames burned slightly.
He took off his clothes and placed them beside the fire, lying beside him staring at the crescent moon in the sky. The sand was scorched by the sun for a day, but it was still hot at this time. Lying there was like a fire kang in the north in winter, warming him all over.
