Chapter 129 Finding water

We both stopped at the dry mouth of the river at the same time. We know that even if we get to the top of the mountain, we won't find water there.

After observing the surrounding vegetation with the torches, we headed to the left side of the broad leaved forest. After nearly two hours, Cui bin pulled me back and said, "If we keep walking like this, we will get lost."

Full of thinking about finding water, I did not think about this problem, he was so reminded to awaken.

The turpentine on my torch was almost burning. After beckoned him to sit down, I licked my dry lips. "What can I do? We'll die of thirst if we go on like this."

"You see my mouth is open, several blood holes." Cui Bin feels empathy: "This water shortage is much worse than eating."

I held out my hand and asked. "Bring me your torch."

After lighting the second torch, I put out the burnt one, which sank into the earth.

"We'd better go back first. Tomorrow over this hill, there may be water over there." "Cui bin suggested.

I thought about it for a while, and decided, reluctantly, that this was the only way.

After ten minutes or so, we retraced our steps together. The others were fast asleep, and there was no one to watch. I could not keep watch all night, so I cut a stick with an axe, and put some earth near the fire, so that it could not spread out and become a fire hazard.

After lying down, I fell asleep very quickly. In the early morning, I felt something cold. When I woke up, I found that there was a little water on my chin. With all the stars in the sky, it can't be raining. When I was wondering, another drop of water fell on the bridge of my nose. When I looked up, I found something strange. It was dew falling from the leaves.

I took a burning stick from the fire, and looked at the leaves by the light of the light.

This heavy dew is an extremely important source of water for us. I woke them all up.

"Get up, everybody. There's dew on everyone. Everybody drink as much as you can."

"Can I drink the dew on the leaves? "Asked Lucie suspiciously.

"It doesn't matter." Now is the muddy water, I dare to drink: "no people here, should be quite clean."

"Sister Lucie, don't be fussy after this." Zhang Yutong handed her with a burning wood, his first toward the side of the past.

The dew on the leaves only moistens the lips. I took the kettle again, poured in every drop of dew, and told the others to do the same.

After not much while, hear zhang Yutong joyful shout, she drank a water.

I have been reluctant to drink, fully busy for half an hour long, a shake the kettle, inside the clang when the sound. But not too much.

After a few sips, my whole spirit felt much better, and the water was cool.

As they returned to the fire, I asked, "Did you save some?"

"Are not enough to drink, how to stay." Li Ding said sadly.

All that remained of the two aborigines was an empty kettle. However, the two women and Cui Bin left some.

I yawned and said, "Then you three continue to catch dew and get your water ready for tomorrow morning."

"The chief." "We don't need to store the water. Tomorrow I will find a way to take you to find it."

"You have an idea?"

Don't nod: "don't worry, I will take you to find water."

"Then why didn't you say anything?" Cui Bin came to the fire.

Don't quickly explain: "There is no such water vine here, but you can find it over the hill."

I looked at another native named Azar. "Is his story believable?"

Azar nodded again and again. "He didn't cheat you, chief. There is a vine with a lot of water, can be used to drink. But it's too dry here to have that kind of vine. Only in wetter conditions."

"Then you should have said so." Cui Bin taught: "Know that you have a way to find water, we do not have to go out before the white busy."

"We thought you'd get the water back." Zhe don't laugh hey hey of say.

"All right, then. Go over the hill tomorrow and look for water." I waved my hand at them. "Sleep."

Because it was in the woods, there was no way to continue to sleep quietly after dawn, and the birds on the tree end kept calling.

I took out my kettle and peered in over the spout. There were at least two or three.

I was about to hand the kettle to Zhang Yutong when Li Ding held up his kettle and rubbed over: "Brother Fei, give me some."

"Give it to him. I've had enough." Zhang Yutong said.

"Then give them all to me." Li Ding said, licking her face.

I took his kettle, poured him some, and divided the rest between the two natives.

"How about we grill some fish?" "Suggested Lucie.

I nodded.

Take out two pickled fish from the salute, peel off the skin, inside the smear of salt scraped off, directly on the fire to roast. When it's done, divide a large piece for each of you.

After packing up our things, we climbed over the mountains while eating grilled fish.

Away from the desert, away from the rainforest, the woods are much easier to navigate than ever before. At noon, we finally reached the top of the mountain and it was unusually cool. But there was still a mountain range in front of us, with no end in sight.

At the top of the mountain to stop, get some food, I handed the axe to Zhebe, let him take us to search for water vine.

After looking around, he led us down the hill. He walked slowly, searching everywhere as he went. Many vines on the way were denied by him.

Seeing the day is getting dark, or failed to find water vine.

Unable to put all my hopes on him, I went up to him and asked, "Ziegoodbye, could there be no water vine like that?"

Zhe thinks about it for a while and then says, "I think so. The island where we live has many rivers. However, there are several rivers on the island.

"Then keep looking. If you don't find it before dark, you can forget about it tomorrow." This is a continental climate, not necessarily water vine.

Zhe nodded his head, apparently quickening his pace.

When they came to a small flat place, the sky was beginning to blacken. I beckoned them to stop and make camp.

"Let me look a little longer, chief." Zhebie refused to give up the request.

"Look around, then. Don't go far." "I nodded.

Zhebe left, I asked the two women to prepare cooking, Li Ding and Aza to collect firewood, CUI Bin and I were responsible for building a simple shack.

Is busy, suddenly heard zhe don't panic shout. I can't see anyone.

"We must go and see." Cui Bin ran to grab a gun hanging from a tree branch, threw it to me, and ran over.

I also hurried to follow, after meeting to see zhe don't face bean big sweat, look panic.

"Why? Cui Bin caught him by the arm.

I looked here and there, but I didn't see anything unusual.

Zhebe stood in the middle of us and looked back with a puzzled expression.

"What did you see?

Zhe doesn't feel the sweat on his face and points to the slope on the right, "When I was cutting the water vine, two monsters came out. They scared me to death."

I snapped the rifle he was slinging across his body. "Don't you have a gun? Not so scared."

Zhe didn't touch the butt of his gun, "I was so scared that I forgot I had any money. They came so suddenly THAT I didn't know what to do. I just ran back."

'Did you see what the monster looked like?

Zhe thought hard for a moment and then said, "I didn't see it very clearly. But he walked on two legs like us. He was covered with hair and had long teeth."

"Is it like the monsters we met before?" Asked Cui bin.

Zhe doesn't shake his head, "Of course not. If it was a monster I met before, I wouldn't be afraid."

"Is there anything you see clearly?" I'm not surprised. One of the entrances to this world is at the bottom of the sinkhole, and it is entirely reasonable that the monsters created by those who did the homosexual experiment should come here.

"HMM... It's just hairy and has a different face than the ones we've met before." Don't stutter for a while.
