Chapter 1037 Desert Oasis(1/2)
"Xiaoyu, you and Lao Hu are in front, let's hurry up and leave!" After looking at the sky, Li Zhixin bent down and carried Xiaowen on his back. The rushing wildly just now had consumed Fang Yuhai's great energy.
Besides, Lao Hu's condition really needs someone to take care of, so Xiaoyu no longer insisted. She raised Lao Hu and crawled towards the stone group shoulder to shoulder...
"Zhixin, give it to me." A man "snatched" Xiaowen who was unconscious from Li Zhixin's back, and two other girls. They reached out to support each other, and the group walked in this weird desert.
The earth turtles living in the underground world have no visual organs, so they can only confirm the location of their prey by relying on vibrations, suddenly jump out from the underground and launch an attack.
Therefore, they also have another habit, which is that they don’t like hard soil, such as the small stone mountain that Li Zhixin and others boarded it.
The big stone in the middle seems to be formed by countless smaller stones, rugged and rough. The stones in the middle of the stone mountain are pressing against each other, like stone steps. It is not very difficult for everyone to climb the steps.
As we walked, the air became more and more wet, and slowly a cool breeze blew through... Everyone's confidence increased greatly, and they stopped and gritted their teeth and walked upwards.
The top of the mountain is like a huge steamed bun, except for a stone staircase that is about ten meters wide like steps, the rest are as smooth as ice, and the stone stair in the middle is about one meter above the stone surface.
Everyone took a short rest under the top of the mountain to nourish their spirits, and wanted to climb over the top of the mountain before dark. After taking a breath, Xiaoyu couldn't help but climb to the top of the mountain alone.
Xiaowen has been in a coma for so long. Her closed eyes have not been opened yet.
"Brother Li, what should I do when Xiaowen looks like now?" Looking at Xiaowen's cracked lips, Xiaoyu was anxious.
"Oh!" Li Zhixin shook her head. In fact, what Xiaowen lacks is water, and the others are just emergency solutions and cannot solve the fundamental problem. Whether she can survive depends on her own luck!
Not only her, if she can't find water in the next two days, all seven of them will die.
"Zhixin! Zhixin!" Two screams suddenly came from above the head, and everyone raised their heads.
"Shui! I found the water!" Li Haiqi at the top of the stone waved his arm vigorously, and with his shouts, several crystal clear and transparent water columns rose up.
Water! The person under the top instantly crawled up to the top like crazy... When he came to the top of the mountain with all his strength, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
In the center of the stone roof is a square with a side length of about ten meters. In the center of the square, there is a circular pool with a diameter of about five meters. The pool is filled with bright water, and the clear water is slightly higher than the entrance of the pool, forming an arc shape and slowly overflowing outward.
From a distance, the entire pool is like a dazzling blue pearl.
"Wow - it's so beautiful!" I don't know if it was because of the disaster or because the scenery here was so charming, another girl named Shui Joey in the team couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
Water! Finally, I saw the life-saving water! Everyone couldn't help but hug each other and cried.
"Ah!" Old Hu shouted loudly, trying to run towards the pool, but before his feet moved, several columns of water were sprayed out of the pool and shot up quickly...
As the shouts disappeared, the water column slowly faded back.
The moment the water column suddenly spewed out, everyone was startled. When they walked to the edge of the pond, they found that there were about a dozen springs with water splashing upwards at the bottom of the pond, which was about three meters deep. Strangely, the water flow in the spring changed due to the sounds around them.
A louder sound will cause a water column to leak out quickly. The louder the sound, the higher the water column will be sprayed out. This is actually a natural fountain spring!
The spring water was sweet and delicious, and everyone felt like drinking nectar. With water and eating something, everyone became much more energetic. Even Xiaowen, who was in a coma due to dehydration, finally woke up.
As Li Zhixin said, the other side of the stone mountain is really the edge of the desert. Standing on the top of the stone, you can see the brown and yellow weeds and low shrubs in the original place.
The sunset is as bright as blood. Everyone decided to spend the night at the top of the stone tonight and set off again tomorrow morning.
Above the stone roof, the cold breeze is cool and comfortable. I don’t know who started singing the song first. The beautiful and low singing pierces the sky and spreads to the distance. The springs in the pond rise up when they hear the song, and the water columns rise up and fall, closely resonate with the singing.
Everyone was surprised by this, so they sang one by one, and the time was divided and the water column changed from time to time. For a long time, it was rare for everyone to be so happy.
In just a few days, they experienced the sufferings of their lives and witnessed many separations and deaths.
When Joey Shangshui sang a song about his mother, everyone else stopped singing and laughing. The sweet and emotional songs aroused everyone's deep longing for their hometown and relatives, and many people shed tears.
In the end, Shui Joey had to stop singing because of crying. For a moment, sadness and melancholy enveloped everyone's hearts.
"Okay." Li Zhixin stood up from the ground, "Everyone should take it as you like now. Fortunately, no one of us has had any accidents so far a few days ago, right? This is happiness!"
People who have experienced death are more likely to feel satisfied and know how to cherish the present and live is a wonderful thing in itself.
"Yes!" Li Haiqi pointed to the water surface, "Isn't this very good? It's both thrilling and exciting."
From the cave, at the beginning, Li Haiqi's hands were tied up with ropes. Later, when he was traveling through the desert, he was untied because he was considering that his movement would be inconvenient.
"Oh, it's not right." Before anyone else could say anything, Li Haiqi raised his hand in front of him and looked, and then inserted it into the pool, "Let's see, the water has become hot!" Li Haiqi shouted.
"Is that so?!" The others hurriedly reached into the pool, and then exclaimed that it was true! The temperature of the water in the pool actually increased a lot than during the day.
"That's great! Let's take a shower!" Someone shouted this and was accepted by everyone.
After working hard for days, everyone was already uncomfortable. After this statement, they were a little patient in the face of a pool of good water in front of them. The woman washed first, and the man waited under the throne.
An hour and a half later, when four women with long wet hair walked down from the top of the stone, all the men were stunned. The four women were elegant, beautiful, and radiant, as if they were lotus from the water!
Especially the mature woman named Fang Chunhui who was walking in the front, her snow-white breasts and her huge and plump breasts were faintly visible under her wide shirt because she didn't tie her buttons in front of her shirt.
Li Haiqi moved his lips twice and swallowed his saliva.
The men turned sideways and let the women over, picked up the items they had already packed up, and walked towards the top of the stone. They came to the pool, exchanged glances with each other, and then raised their heads and shouted, "Ahhh", and the water column in the pool rose up in response. The water flowed out quickly from the pool.
"Hahaha!" The men took off their clothes in a few seconds, and then jumped out of the pool.
The bottom of the pool is like a stone mountain, and it is also snow-white stones, flat as if polished, with a depth of water to the waist. It is clear and clean, with suitable temperature and warm water. There is a pool surface about one foot wide around the bottom half meter beside the pool.
The three men were scrubbing their heart's content. From time to time, they shouted a few words. Before they knew it, the full moon had climbed to the top of people's heads. Perhaps it was enough trouble. Six men sat around the pool and climbed the stone steps.
"You guys wash, I'll go up." Lao Hu got out of the pool. After wiping his body, he picked up his bag, "I'll go downstairs to see them." After that, he walked straight down.
The remaining five men soaked in the water stopped talking, and the top of the mountain became quiet. The breeze was blowing, the moon was bright, and the surroundings were as bright as day. The water on the top of the mountain was bright, just like another bright moon!
The beautiful scenery is present, and for a moment, the consciousness of Li Zhixin and others has become a little blurred.
"Brother Li! Brother Li!" I don't know how long, Xiaoyu's anxious shout suddenly came from the foot of the mountain.
"Hmm? What happened?" Li Zhixin and others hurried out of the pool, put on their clothes and ran under the top of the stone. As soon as they walked halfway, they heard a noise.
In the distance, Xiaowen and Shui Joey were arguing about something around Lao Hu, while Fang Chunhui was crawling on Shui Joey's shoulder.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Zhixin pulled open the crowd. He was the leader of the team. When he spoke at this time, he naturally said nothing and everyone stopped arguing.
"Ask him!" Fang Chunhui looked up and pointed at Lao Hu. Her face was full of tears, her hair was messy, and she was covered in a shirt.
"It's nothing." Facing the panting Li Zhixin and others, Lao Hu looked indifferent and glanced at Fang Chunhui, "I just talked to her, but I didn't expect she was anxious."
"Are you talking? You're calling..." Speaking of this, Fang Chunhui also raised her eyebrows, but as a woman, she was ashamed to mention Lao Hu's irregular behavior.
"Tell you Hu Yibo!" Fang Chunhui wiped the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, "Yes, I admit that I had been having sex with you, because of why, you and I know very well, right? But I didn't want to be like that for a long time, do you know? I originally planned to tell you after this escape, but you..."
"From now on, I have no relationship with you, do you know?!"
"What are you calling? I'm in trouble, right?" Old Hu opened his eyes wide. He was originally a wealthy businessman with little assets, and Fang Chunhui was his mistress.
Lao Hu gasped and looked at the others: "It's been three years, and every morning of three years, it's not more than seven o'clock. I give her 100 yuan on time every day. After three years, you can calculate how much is it in total?!"
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, more than one hundred thousand yuan will be available in three years! In this era, many people’s monthly salary is not one hundred yuan, and the household of ten thousand yuan is even more surprising.
What happened? Everyone's eyes turned to Fang Chunhui. We were walking together for a while. We didn't care about chatting before, but now we want to understand.
At this time, Fang Chunhui's expression suddenly calmed down. She said coldly: "Old Hu, is it interesting to mention this? Whether to give it or not, how much you give it every day, isn't it all you made by yourself? If you didn't help my family, would I be able to do it with you? Because of this, I have been with you for so many years."
"The money is kept in the bank, and I will give it back to you as long as I go out!" Fang Chunhui also took the initiative. His father's business failed that year and asked for help from Lao Hu, so he committed to him.
But this time the zombie attacked, his parents were buried in the city. This disaster suddenly made Fang Chunhui understand that life should not be compromised. She wanted to live her own life in the future.
"I don't want money! I don't need that little money! Let me tell you, I want you like!" Lao Hu raised his jaw upward, obviously unwilling to break up like this, and still planned to continue to get entangled.
"You!" Fang Chunhui snorted. "Didn't I say, are you still a man?"
This sentence indeed poked Lao Hu's sore spot. His face suddenly turned red and he swallowed, "I won't tell you! If you don't follow me, I'll kill you!"
"Ephesian Hu, come on, you!" Fang Chunhui raised her head up, and ignored it.
"Okay! Okay!" Li Zhi wanted to look at Fang Chunhui and look at Lao Hu again, "I don't want to comment on which of you two is right or wrong. So many things have happened among us these days. After experiencing so much suffering, we are still safe and sound. Why?
"The main reason is that we can support and help each other. Now, what is the relationship between us ten people? They are relatives! They are brothers! No one can do something that is sorry for each other! The future is not clear, and we can only continue to live together! Right?"
"Yes!" Li Haiqi gave Lao Hu a blank look, "Whoever wants to do something to be sorry to everyone? First of all, I will kill him!"
There were only three men in the team. Both of them opposed it, and Lao Hu really couldn't resist.
He looked around and raised his face: "Lisa, wait, I will look for you!"
After saying something like a gangster, Lao Hu finally turned around and left in disappointment. The others were stunned for a while, and felt bored, and they all dispersed.
The road seemed not far away, but it was not close to the real walk. From the stone mountain to the end of the ancient city ruins, Li Zhixin and others walked for a whole morning.
When everyone saw the grass, flowers and trees again, they seemed to have rebirth and were extremely happy.
While looking around, everyone's hearts became solemn again. In front of them was an oasis covered with weeds and shrubs. When the breeze blew, the plants and trees turned over layers of blue-gray waves, and they felt endless.
Even though the world complained, everyone knew very well. Passing through the oasis in front of them was the only way out. There was no way out, so everyone had to harden their heads and step into it.
No matter what, walking on the grass is better than walking through the desert.
There was no road around, so everyone followed the compass' guidance, tied their trousers tightly, leaned on wooden sticks, walked deeper and shallowly towards the west in double rows. Everyone truly realized the profound meaning of the saying "The world has no road, but just because there is too many people walking, there is a road."
The plain-slope is wide, like the sea-like grass quilt, with trees with many branches and flat umbrella-like crowns scattered. The deeper the grass quilt, the denser it is, but strangely, there are no animals here.
Looking at the green ecological environment here, it is impossible that there are no animals living here. Even if you don’t encounter it, you should have some traces.
The expedition team is rising and setting. When they are hungry, they find some wild vegetables and fruits to satisfy their hunger. Fortunately, the fire utensils, simple pots, salt and other items are also included, and everyone's diet is OK.
It just made the four women suffer. Their tight legs were covered, and their trousers were so hot and itchy. They were all the meals of wild vegetable soup and sour and astringent wild fruits. Later, they ate them so much that they made their mouths bitter.
The next morning after walking in the prairie, last night, everyone stayed on a dry hillside. This morning, each of them ate a few leftover wild fruits. After a little rest, they gathered under a tree in the middle of the camp.
Looking at the rising red sun in the east, everyone was speechless...
To be continued...
