World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 882 Crying
After more than 20 minutes.

We arrived at the place where Cheng Fang and others were waiting.

The place was a pile of sand.

Cheng Fang and others were sitting on the ground with their bodies covered with sand and dust and their faces as green as vegetables.

When they saw us coming back, their expressions were very complicated, a little bit happy, but also a little unhappy.

Fortunately, we didn't die, and they had an explanation for Old Pirates after they went out.

What makes me unhappy is that it can't kill us. I'm a bit speechless.

Xia Xi chuckled: "Thunder Monkeys, you little bastards!"

Cheng Fang ignored this lunatic and said to Amina: "Miss Mina, we just checked the equipment and there is no water."

This incident is nothing short of a bolt from the blue!
We were all stunned.

I didn't quite believe it at first.

But I went over to check the camel I had been riding, and found that the wrapping rope on it had been broken, and the fracture was torn. Apparently, the camel was too crazy when running away, and the wrapping broke.I took another look at the belongings of Xiang Liu and the others. There was still some food left, but the water bags were basically empty.

Only the camel that Master Huiyun rode before was quite sturdy, and it still had half a water bag of water.

Now I completely believed it.

Xia Xi said angrily: "No...can you improve your intelligence a little bit?"

"A few of us were separated from the camels, so there's nothing wrong with the water being lost. Why the hell are you sitting on the camels all the time, how can you lose the water?!"

The muscles on Cheng Fang's face twitched and he said nothing.

This accident was too fatal!

There were six of them and four of us, and only half of Master Huiyun’s water bag was left.

Let alone looking for the ancient Qiuci Kingdom in Wuxiao, even if we return immediately, we will all die on the way.

Amina was obviously a little panicked.

She quickly ran to a high place in the sand, blew the horn again, and then listened to the wind.

After the judgment is completed.

Amina came down from the sand pile, looking very depressed: "This is the upwind direction of the desert, and there is no water nearby. We must quickly go to the downwind direction to find water."

Cheng Fang asked: "How long does it take to find it?"

Everyone looked at Amina, expecting her answer.

Because of her answer.

It directly determines the life and death of everyone.

Amina replied: "I'm not sure, maybe soon, maybe... I can't find it."

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone was wilted.

Someone from Xiang Liu immediately went over and took the half-water bag of water from Master Huiyun's camel, preparing to hand it to Cheng Fang.

Xia Xi snatched the water and gave it to Amina.

Xiang Liu's men immediately drew their weapons on Xia Xi.

Xia Xi snorted coldly, clasping her hands behind her back and raising the corners of her mouth contemptuously, as if she wanted to touch even one of my hair.

Cheng Fang said: "Give water to Miss Amina!"

After hearing this, Xiang Liu's men put down their weapons.

Giving it to Amina is the most correct choice.

We people are like waste in the desert. If we want to find water and survive, we all need to rely on Amina. We must first ensure her safety. Xia Xi's approach is very correct.

Amina was a little touched by Xia Xi's behavior just now and glanced at Xia Xi with her big eyes.

I asked Amina: "How many days can you live without water in the desert?"

If it is inland, the average person can live for four or five days without taking in water. If the perseverance and physical strength are very strong, the maximum can be seven days.But in the desert, I'm not sure.

Amina replied: "The temperature in the desert is too high. The limit of inactivity is four days. If you have to move to find water, two days is the most. With this half bag of water, each person can take a small sip after two days, and they can last longer." One day, so we have to find water within three days.”

I replied: "Don't wait, go out quickly."

for us.

time is life.

Everyone did not dare to stay any longer and began to ride their camels downwind in search of water.

All we can do is try to adjust our breathing, conserve our energy, and keep up with Amina.

The little girl Amina is very experienced. There are many ways to find water, which are mainly divided into several types: one is to look for plants such as moss and small sea buckthorn, and try to obtain water by distillation.The second is to walk in the middle groove area of ​​the tall sand piles and dig the soil with a shovel to see if there is groundwater.The third is to observe the birds in the sky, determine the direction in which the birds fly away at night, and find water through the animal trajectories.The fourth is to dig a funnel pit in the sand, put a plastic sheet on it, and use the temperature difference between day and night to collect condensation water.

It's not completely ineffective.I also got a little bit of water.

But for our huge team of ten people, it is not enough.

We miraculously managed to last four days in this state.

to the end.

There was no water at all.

The temperature of the desert sun was very high. Everyone's mouths were dry and cracked, and their bodies had reached the limit of endurance. One person in Xiangliu had fainted and was unconscious. The two of them had hallucinations. From time to time, they said to the sky that it was raining like a psycho. Or I love taking baths, lots of bubbles, oh yeah.

That's it.

If we don't find water within today, we will all die.

Some people have suggested that for camels to be able to walk in the desert, there should be water in the humps, so it is better to cut off the humps.

Xia Xi weakly scolded this man that his brain was full of feces and his hump was full of fat. He relied on the camel's own circulation to provide nutrients and had no water at all.

Some people also suggested simply killing the camels and drinking their blood.

Amina disagreed, saying that if the blood is not diluted, drinking will make you thirstier and you will die faster.

Everyone is desperate.

Master Huiyun has been sitting on the camel, eyes closed and hands clasped, motionless.

Several times, we thought he had passed away, so we went to move him, only to find that not only was he not dead, but he was in the best condition of all, perhaps because he seldom exercised or spoke.

That night.

We came to an abandoned city.

Half a wall is in ruins.

There is sand everywhere.

It is estimated that the wind blew up the sand buried on top of the city and exposed it.

This discovery makes us very excited.

Because there are cities in places, it proves that people lived here before, and there is the possibility of underground rivers.

We pray that the underground river under the city will never dry up.

Arrived inside the city.

We used our last bit of strength to find several wells on the edge of the city.

There is a manhole cover on it.

After opening the manhole cover.

Hang a person down and let him see if there is water inside.

The feedback results are disappointing.

This is not a water well, but a river well, which is the kind of engineering entrance specially used to dredge underground rivers.He found an underground river below, but it was full of sand and had been dry for who knows how many years. There were also many corpses.

After pulling this guy up.

He sat at the mouth of the well and cried.

Everyone began to close their eyes, unwilling to say a word, leaning in the sand, looking at the moon in the sky, waiting for the arrival of death.

After a while.

I opened my eyes.

"Not right!"

Xia Xi raised her eyelids, licked her chapped lips, and smiled miserably: "Have you seen the face of a bull-headed horse?"

I listened carefully: "Someone is crying down the well!"

No one paid any attention to me.

Everyone thought I was hallucinating.

I said to the guy sitting at the edge of the well crying, "Shut up!"

He shut up.

vaguely.

There were cries from down the well.

The cry of a woman.

The mouth of the well was like a trumpet, and the faint cries still echoed.

Under the night, the deserted city, the corpses in the dry well, and the mournful cries are horrifying.
