In the middle of the night, the moon early set the mountain, leaving only a piece of starry sky, even bright and beautiful, but to the big area to a little light.
After holding on for more than an hour, the two women could not hold on any longer and sat down on the ground together. I, too, felt light on my head and heavy on my feet. There was no moonlight, and I was afraid that I might stray from my course. They let everyone lie down and sleep at will.
Zhang Yutong pulled Lucie to my side, unload the body of the things stacked together, lying next to each other.
"Brother Lu Fei, you said we only walked for a day and this happened. When wan Xue elder sister ran to come over with nothing, can she stick to it?" Zhang Yutong has the qi feebly of ask.
I shook my head and let them both sleep. I dread to think of it.
Although we walk in the desert all day and midnight, sleep on the ground. But the desert environment, and our lack of water, makes sleep extremely unstable, and it doesn't take long for us to wake up. There was some dew in the morning, and the cold man shivered.
My eyes hurt, but I couldn't sleep. I sat up and, in the light of the day, glanced around at everyone, turning over and over.
After waking them one by one, I picked up my belongings and said, "Let's go on, take advantage of the cool weather. When we get to the mountains and find some water, we will drink and then have a good sleep."
Everyone nodded feebly, took what belonged to them, and helped each other to move on.
Although I do not want to believe that Li Wanxue will have an accident, but in the way of moving forward or can not stop zhang First four looks.
The temperature rose rapidly after the sun came out. We stopped for a bite of tacos, then moved on.
Walk to noon, only to finally achieve the desire to see the foot of the mountains, which means that the mountains from us really only dozens of kilometers.
"If we work hard, we can make it to the mountains tonight." I made my way to the front of the line.
"I can walk there this afternoon if I have a bowl of water." Zhang Yutong has the air powerless of shout.
"Whether there is water or not, we must insist on walking." Li Ding's voice sounded: "I believe that each of us can stick to the last."
The words did not fall, two figures suddenly ran out from the side.
The two aboriginians ran with their backs, sat down four or five hundred meters in front of the procession, and when we reached them, they did the same thing. Running with a lot of energy. The others followed suit.
I know this way, hard to last, always insist on the average speed forward.
Two back and forth down, Zhang Yutong and Lu Xi can not carry first.
"Brother Lu Fei, I'd better go with you." Zhang Yutong, walking side by side with me, said, "A short rest is not worth the hundreds of energy lost in running."
I encouraged the tall mountains: "Don't be discouraged, before dark must be able to reach."
Zhang Yutong MMM.
Lucie leaned against me, nearly causing me to roll on the ground. When she stood still, she laughed. "I thought lu Fei had more strength than she could use."
"Distasteful." Zhang Yutong peered at her and argued: "my brother Lu Fei, what has become your Lu Fei?"
"Stingy." Lucie retorted, half jest: "He is a leader, and am I not allowed to say so?"
Zhang Yutong thought for a moment and gave a look of approval.
Although we are all tired, talking often can distract us and reduce our mental burden during the long journey. After the sun had set over the mountains, the night began to fill in.
As the three of us caught up with the others, a slight change took place in the landscape before us. We had come to the top of a row of sand dunes, and the long slope was at the foot of the mountain, with only a kilometre or two to go. A close look at the mountains is like standing under a canopy of sky. The closer you get to the desert, the less vegetation there is, and vice versa. The mountains are varied and sometimes extraordinary.
"Yes, but I don't know where the water is." Zhang Yutong pursed his mouth and looked lovely and pitiful.
"Let's go into the mountains and get some water." I moved forward and waved. We've already crossed the desert, so why worry about finding water?
At the foot of the mountain, the rock is the dividing point between the desert and the mountain. Little by little, the gravel turned to stone. On the top of the stone mountain, several people rushed to sit down on a large stone.
And then they all jumped up and started slapping their butts.
Li Ding exclaimed, "Why is it so hot? It's not even hot in the desert."
"Go on, into the woods." I shouted.
Several people quickly follow up.
We followed a dry stream for hundreds of meters and came to a mountain pass. A small plain came out of the water. It was full of grass and few trees.
After we sat down at random, I looked at the surrounding trees and found that there were many pine trees, tall and straight. The others are all kinds of broad-leaved trees, with no wild fruit trees to be seen.
"Oh..."
When I heard Lucie's voice, I looked around and saw her wiping her hands vigorously.
'What's the matter? There is no guarantee that the vegetation and animals here will be exactly the same as in our own world, so be on your guard everywhere.
Lucie held out her hand to me. "I don't know why there's so much white stuff under this pine tree. It's greasy.
I asked her to get out of the way and saw that the roots of the pine tree were covered in tiny white patches and that the trunk was still glistening with pale yellow pine oil.
"It's good stuff. The turpentine is good for lighting. Let's make some torches later. Cui Bin and I will go out to look for water. You can rest here." I sat down to collect the turpentine.
They saw it and started searching the perimeter. More than ten minutes later, we had gathered a large pile of turpentine.
"Fly elder brother, next how to make, make a candle?" Li Ding asked blankly.
I shook my head: "give it to me, you work hard, to pick up some firewood back, I and Cui Bin rest for a while, such as the torch is done, go to find water."
A few people, a little reluctant to move, gathered withered branches and leaves nearby.
After lying for half an hour, they had finished their work and it was very dark.
Seeing me get up to light a fire, Cui Bin also rushed around. After making a fire, I melted a pile of pine oil, got a few branches the size of a child's arm, and glued the oil together and wrapped it in layers on the trunk.
"Where did you learn that from?" Cui bin asked curiously.
"When we were children we used to go to the woods to find pine oil to make torches." "I explained, showing him the wrapped torch." It's very simple. It burns for a long time after being lit.
Cui Bin followed my example and wrapped one. We each carried a gun, some bullets, and all the water bottles we had.
Seeing that the others were asleep, I woke them up one by one and told them: "We went out to find water, you stay here, take turns to rest, to guard against danger and fire."
"Fly elder brother, you go, we will be careful." Li Ding replied listlessly.
"Remember, take turns." Apart from Zhang Yutong, I am not very confident about the other four.
After everyone responded, Cui bin and I lit a torch and walked along the small plain.
After a short walk, Cui Bin said, "It seems that this area was not a desert before. There must have been a big current here before."
"Maybe it's the source of a river, or else it wouldn't have struck such a flat piece of land." I answered.
"But the rivers here have dried up. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find water," Cui said.
"That also have to look for, have a tree affirmation have water." I still have a lot of faith.
"I hope so." Cui Bin gave a sigh.
The plain soon came to an end, followed by a broad slope, and the entrance to the plain was joined by a dry river, a little steep and winding along the hill.
