Mrs. Du blew up again

Chapter 121 The Moving Desert
I didn’t have time to comfort him. I sat on the sand and sorted out the food carefully. Yang Saonian’s backpack was not zipped up. I glanced at it and found an oiled paper bag inside, which seemed to be wrapped in something meaty. I reached out and wanted to go Take it, Yang Saonian covered his bag all of a sudden: "This one can't be moved."

I said with a serious and cold face: "Are you still hiding things?"

Lao Lai smiled and said: "Brother Yang, if you hide it, let's hide it. It's fun enough to take out so much."

Fengzi also understood with a smile and said: "You are willing to share food with so many people, I thank you on behalf of the rest of the people, Xiaoying, Brother Yang, Mu Chen and Miss Ding, compared to Zhang Bold and Hei Xiazi Those two dogs, you are really worth making friends."

Yang Saonian's face turned strange, and he hurriedly explained: "It seems selfish of me to say that, what I wrap here is not for food."

I urged him: "Then take it out and have a look."

Yang Saonian snorted coldly at me: "The provocative method doesn't work for me, so I won't take the bait. In short, the things inside are very important, and they can't be easily exposed now. Hurry up and fix your food."

I didn't bother to tease him, Ding Linglong and Lao Lai helped me sort out the food piled on the sand. We made a rough calculation. If we only ate once a day, the food for the fourteen of us could barely last for about five days.

Fuzi sat next to me in silence for a long time, her eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Ding Linglong asked him: "Fengzi, tell the truth, is it difficult for our food to go out?"

Fengzi looked at us and sighed heavily: "If Zhang Bold and the others hadn't run away alone, there would be no problem with our food for seven or eight days. To tell you the truth, if you want to get out of here safely, the shortest way It will take seven or eight days to walk, and it is obviously far from enough to eat at this point."

Yun Muchen has never expressed his opinion on the matter of our loss of food, and everyone else was frowning, but he calmly acted as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

I looked at him, he knew a lot, since he was not in a hurry, there must be some way.

"Tell me, do you have any ideas? I don't think you are in a hurry at all."

Yun Muchen looked down at me, and opened his thin lips lightly: "The reality is in front of us, it's useless to be anxious. Since the food can't support us to leave, we have to find the water source as soon as possible, and don't throw away the water bottle that we drank."

My eyes lit up: "Yes, a person can last for at least three or four days with water. It's not easy to find food in the desert. We can find water. As long as we find the water source, the biggest problem at present can be solved. solved."

Lao Lai was still a little worried: "The water source here is not so easy to find."

At this time, Kuer, who had been standing in an inconspicuous place, came up and babbled and gesticulated for a long time, but all of us had confused expressions on our faces, and we had no idea what he wanted to express.

Miss Ding reprimanded with some disgust: "What are you trying to say? Don't waste your time, no one here can understand what you are saying. Didn't you see that everyone is annoyed?"

Yun Muchen interrupted Miss Ding in a cold voice: "Don't cross, let him finish."

I looked at Yun Muchen in astonishment: "Can you understand dumb language?"

Yun Muchen said: "He said that he had been here once when he was a child. He didn't know how he came here, but he has seen it in all the memories here."

All of us looked at Yun Muchen in unison, and Fengzi laughed and scolded: "Are you still human, kid? Nothing can trouble you."

Yun Muchen didn't show much expression on his face: "Kuer, you continue."

Babbling, babbling, Kuer gesticulated and said something unknown, Yun Muchen frowned from time to time, and occasionally his eyes lit up.

After Kuer stopped, Yang Saonian asked anxiously, "What did he say?"

Yun Muchen lowered his head in silence for a while, then looked up at us: "He said that he remembered that there was an underground water source near an abandoned ancient city, but he was not sure whether the abandoned ancient city was the ancient city of Loulan. It is very difficult to meet the oasis nearby, because the terrain here is alive, and it will rotate according to 24 hours a day, and reverse according to the 24 solar terms. The terrain and orientation here will be different every month, so many people will Disorientation, including the unexplained lane change failure crash, may have something to do with this."

"Alive?" I exclaimed, "What does this mean? Could it be that the desert can run with long legs?"

Yun Muchen said: "It can be understood in this way."

Lao Lai was noncommittal: "Mu Chen, your cold jokes are not funny. Fengzi, I remember you said the day before yesterday that there would be an oasis if we walked one more day."

There was a strange look on Fengzi's face, and he hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly: "Actually, I don't know the exact location, but I just heard from nearby villagers that there was an oasis in this area, but some The villagers said they had never seen it before, and their opinions were very inconsistent, but what Kuer said reminded me, and I also remembered that an elderly person nearby said that this desert seems to be moving."

Miss Ding said angrily: "Since you didn't know, why didn't you inform us in advance? If we knew that there was no water source for hundreds of miles nearby, we wouldn't have come here on foot."

Fengzi also felt that she was not considerate enough in this matter, and hastily apologized: "This matter is indeed my negligence, mainly because I have never led a team with such a big fork before, and the water we brought is enough. You don’t have to worry about water sources.”

I can understand Fengzi, and interrupted: "It's getting late, let's pack up and go on the road. Fengzi said that if everything goes well in three or four days, we can reach the ancient city of Loulan. Let Kuer take a look at it when we get there." It’s not a place he’s been to before. If it is, maybe we can find a water source there and plan for the worst. We still have more than 20 bottles of water on us. As long as everyone saves a little, it’s a big deal to drink water and eat every day. Although it will be very tiring, I believe it should be fine to stay up for seven or eight days."

Lao Lai nodded in agreement: "Xiaoying's analysis is very reasonable. Don't be discouraged because of the food shortage. We came to Lop Nur. You must know that any kind of thing may happen in this kind of place. If even the basic We can't overcome all the difficulties, and if we go on, more troublesome things are likely to be waiting for us."

Yang Saonian put his food into a backpack and zipped it up behind his back: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go."

Lao Lai's words can also be regarded as boosting the morale of the team members. After we packed our things, we continued to move forward.
