Chapter 2227 Prepare for the next stop
After a day and a half, we finally walked out of this loess high slope.
"Ah!" Everyone turned around and shouted at the loess high slope in front of them.
"We finally came out!" I was very happy to see everyone's expressions, and I was also happy about it.
"Let's stop and rest, see if we can find a source of water, pour out the wolf blood in this kettle, and then wash it. We haven't drunk water for a long time."
Not long after, we found a small river in a nearby forest.
"It's great. There's water here. I've been drinking wolf blood for a day. It's so disgusting." Everyone looked at the river in front of them, their eyes shining.
I quickly ran over, took out the kettle from my bag, poured the water inside, and then rinsed the kettle.
Everyone squatted down, and a person who was holding water in his hands was put into his mouth.
"It's so cool. I feel like I haven't drunk such good water in a century!" the herdsman sighed.
"You haven't drunk water for only two days, why has it become a century!" everyone joked.
"You don't understand. I've been thinking about the three words "I want to drink water for the past two days. This water is so precious to me. I must drink more!" The herdsman uncle smiled honestly.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Hey, yes, where is our next stop?" Everyone came over and asked.
I pulled out the map and the next stop was the desert.
"No, the next stop is the desert. What's the difference between this and the loess high slope in front?" Everyone was frightened as they looked at the icons on the map.
"That's right, it's the desert, so before entering the desert we have to drink more water and fill the kettle. You can see if there is anything else in the bag to fill it with water. Let's try to fill it with more. The desert says it's difficult to find a source of water."
Everyone nodded and turned the bags upside down without even turning them over to something that could hold water.
I said to everyone: "Since there is nothing to fill the water, then let's fill the kettle first. There are no bottles and jars nearby to fill the water. I have been walking on the Loess High Slope for two or three days, and my body is dirty. Everyone takes a shower first, have a good rest, and we will continue to move forward."
"Okay, I haven't taken a shower for a long time, my whole body is dirty."
After that, the six of us men, don’t play with water here.
Not to mention that it’s really comfortable to wash like this, it washes off all the dirty things on your body.
It was already 4:30 pm now, and it would not take long to walk forward and it would be dark, so we decided to sleep here for a night.
"Let's go, let's go and see some bamboos to build a shed." I said to the herdsman uncle.
The others stayed to take care of the bearded man.
In this forest, I found a lot of palm leaves, which were just right for building the roof.
"Let's look at it more. When you go back to this palm leaf, the palm heart can also be eaten."
The herdsman uncle nodded, so we started to work.
After the palm leaves and bamboo were collected, we returned the same way.
"Here, eat!" I handed the chopped palm core to everyone.
"Can this thing be eaten?" Everyone asked with disgust when they looked at the things in my hands.
"Of course I can eat this. It is rich in nutrients and contains a lot of water. If you like it or not, I will eat it if you don't eat it."
Everyone half-believed and half-doubted, and they started to chew the palm core in my hand.
"Don't say that this thing is really moisture-rich, it's just a bit astringent and not very delicious." Lao Huo said with a frown.
I smiled and said, "Come on, it's great to find palms in such woods. Let's build a simple residence first. Seeing that the environment here is so humid, I'm afraid it will rain at night. We will have a meal after it is built."
"Yes!" Everyone put down the palm core in their hands and started chopping the wood.
We first cut the bamboo to the desired length, inserted it into the ground, made a relatively simple bracket, and then spread the palm leaves we collected on the bracket layer by layer, thus forming a simple shed that can also be used to hide from the rain.
We set up a fire outside to make it easy to use for the fire and to heat up the wolf meat we roasted in advance.
After everything was ready, everyone sat around and ate it with a feast.
"Don't say that this wolf meat is really delicious, there is no such delicious thing after going to the desert!" Tan Jin sighed.
"Can you still want to touch a group of wolves?" The herder uncle joked.
"Of course not!"
"Although there will be no wolves in the desert, we still have to pay more attention. Since this desert can appear on the way to Tianshan Mountain, it will definitely be very dangerous."
I continued, "But don't worry too much. If we are lucky, we can still find water. We may encounter camels. Then we will still have meat to eat, and there will be cactus fruit in the desert."
Everyone smiled and said, "Yiming knows a lot."
After eating, we were discussing countermeasures after entering the desert.
Tan Jin said: "I think if we are lucky and meet a camel in the desert, we should not rush to kill the camel and eat it. We can use it to help us get out of this desert, and if we are tired, we can ride a camel!"
"We haven't even entered the desert yet, just thinking that we can see camels!" Old Huo laughed.
"Isn't this my assumption?" Tan Jin glared at Old Huo.
Lao Huang said: "How big is this desert? If we can't get out for a few days, wouldn't we have no water to drink and we will die of thirst in this desert!"
"If you want to say that you are really uneducated, even if we don't find water in the desert, I will find a way to get the water out for you!" I have learned it in other places before. If you install a simple small device in the desert, the water will come out bit by bit.
"I want to see you. Where can we find water after we drink all the water?" Lao Huang said unkindly.
"Okay, then you can wait and see!"
I suddenly remembered it again, so I said to them: "The wind and sand in the desert are strong, and some accidents may occur at that time. We have to be more careful."
"And there are poisonous scorpions and venomous snakes in the desert. If something unexpected happens, we may encounter sandstorms and quicksand. It is hot during the day and cold at night. There are many situations. The legs of the bearded man are not well yet, so we must pay more attention to protecting the safety of the bearded man and never act alone!" I told everyone.
