Back to the end of the world: I rely on hundreds of millions of materials to lie down and win natura

"No."

"Then why are you looking at me?"

Xie Changxiao laughed: "You look good."

Ge Huai: "..." He looked at those eyes full of unknown meaning for two seconds, then suddenly hid behind Mingzhang and said firmly: "I'm not interested in men, just give up!"

"? What crazy nonsense are you talking about?"

"You know it in your heart."

"I know damn well! Come here..."

Xie Changxiao walked around the picnic mat and rushed in the direction of Ge Huai. Ge Huai suspected that he had "ultimate intentions" and ran away.

They played a game of chase, and Mingming, who was sitting on the picnic mat with his knees bent, was splashed all over by the yellow sand they kicked up.

"Go, go! You two, stay away!" He picked up a branch and slapped the childish ghost passing by with a stern face.

Ge Huai pretended to say "ouch", and his funny tone made the people watching their fight laugh loudly.

Seemingly finding it interesting, Xunsong Maliao got up from the picnic mat and happily followed Xie Changxiao in pursuit.

The joyful atmosphere continued unabated.

When the blazing sunshine poured down, the chasing game full of laughter and fun had to come to an end.

In order to avoid the heat wave, they got into off-road vehicles and SUVs in two groups and continued to drive forward following the guidance of the compass.

The desert has a large temperature difference between day and night, with daytime temperatures approaching 45 degrees. People who stay outdoors for too long can easily suffer from heat stroke.

In addition to meeting their physiological needs, they never get out of the car. They even eat dried meat and noodles for lunch.

Only when the temperature drops at night will they turn off the thin air-conditioning and get out of the car to cook a simple meal.

"What should we do... We are almost out of water." On the third day of driving in the desert, only one-tenth of the water they stored was left.

Mingzhang: "Look for the cactus."

Ge Qinyao: "Aren't the cacti in the desert poisonous?" She was carrying a light bucket with anxiety on her face.

Wen Yaxian: "The ones with thorns don't seem to be poisonous."

"Yes." Yan Shuo once watched a documentary about desert survival, and still remembers the question about whether cactus is edible: "Although the stems of cactus contain a lot of water, the water is in the form of cell fluid, which will make people drink more and more. thirsty."

He paused for two seconds: "We can pick cactus fruits. The fruits also have a certain amount of moisture and do not contain toxic alkali."

Wen Qizhou: "You can also use the temperature difference between day and night to obtain water. For example, dig a sand pit, put a water container in the sand pit, and then lay a layer of plastic bag film on top. Wait a few hours and you will get a bowl of water. ”

"Yes! I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me." Yan Shuo's thoughts followed the cactus, and he couldn't remember it without mentioning it.

"Then let's dig a sand pit first?"

"Yeah." They turned their backs to the setting sun, each found a suitable place, and dug holes with sappers, daggers, and branches.

Chi Yue gave each of them a bowl, put the plastic bag next to it, and asked them to come and get it after digging the hole.

After finishing her work, she looked sideways at Wen Qizhou, who was sweating lightly on his forehead. She took out a wet tissue she brought with her to wipe his sweat, and then fed him two sips of water from the thermos cup.

He asked softly, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." The temperature has not dropped yet, and the sweat on his body is completely warm.

Wen Qizhou patted the yellow sand off his hands, took Chi Yue's hand, and walked to where Xie Changxiao and the others were digging the hole to look around.

After confirming that the steps were OK, everyone shared some dried fish and dried meat back to the tent to fill their bellies for dinner.

After all, there is a shortage of water now. Even if they have live chickens and rabbits, they have no means to deal with them. They can only eat some of the food they have stored before and have a full meal after leaving the desert.

Xie Changxiao could have some fun with Chi Yue, but he had a poor appetite and was too lazy to move, so he simply stopped looking for them.

When he finished eating the dried meat and was about to rest, Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou entered the space, placed a bowl of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, tomato beef brisket, and kelp soup on the table, and slowly enjoyed it.

"Qi Zhou, that pig seems to be pregnant." Chi Yue pointed at the sow curled up on the left in the pigsty.

Its belly dropped visibly.

Wen Qizhou glanced at it and found that it was in good mental condition, so he didn't worry too much: "I'll go over and take a look later."

After nearly three years, they have become very skilled in checking the health of poultry, delivering babies, and taking care of their babies.

Even if you encounter difficult labor situations, you can still follow the teachings in books and videos and solve them without panic.

Chi Yue responded: "When we leave the desert, let's give them one to satisfy their greed."

A sow can give birth to five to twelve piglets in a litter, which is much more than the number of cattle and sheep. As a result, they now have 31 pigs.

In addition to the live pigs they raised, they also had a lot of pork bought at the slaughterhouse, which they couldn't finish in a short time, so they simply gave them one to satisfy their craving.

Wen Qizhou nodded: "Okay."

After the meal, they checked the pregnant sow in the pig pen to see that there was nothing wrong with it, and then went to the field to collect vegetables. "Are we still growing vegetables?" Chi Yue walked to the stream to wash two cucumbers, and glanced at the vacant land with her almond-shaped eyes.

"There's no need to plant it."

He turned to look at the vegetables piled in the static area and smiled: "The vegetables in the space are enough for us to eat until the end of our lives."

"That's right." She insisted on growing vegetables patiently, took the cucumber and went back to the tent with him, and put on her earphones to watch a movie.

*
Day and night change.

The sand pits covered with plastic bags outside the tent were opened one by one, and the water mixed with yellow mud came into view in the next second.

Everyone was overjoyed.

They filtered the water in the bowl, carefully poured it into the water storage drum, loaded it into the car and took it on the road.

"Sister Yue, I seem to have seen a watermelon." Yunqi leaned against the window and pointed at the round thing growing on the left front.

Chi Yue raised her eyes and looked outside.

A round object that looked like a watermelon came into view immediately, and she gave him some knowledge in a warm voice: "That one is called a medicinal gourd."

"Can I eat it?"

"It's poisonous, you can't eat it."

She thought Yunqi was thirsty, so she unscrewed the thermos cup, filled the lid with mineral water, leaned forward and handed it to him.

Yun Qi, who wasn't thirsty at first, saw the clear water, and couldn't refuse to take two sips: "Xun Song, do you want to drink?"

"Drink!"

He fed Xunsong the remaining water. Mingzhang, who was driving, glanced at him through the rearview mirror: "Xiao Qi wants to eat watermelon? When we get to the capital, I will plant it for you."

"Master, do you have seeds?"

"Yes." He looked away: "Have you forgotten that we planted watermelons in the Taoist temple before? We still have the seeds."

Yunqi really forgot.

However, when he heard that Mingming wanted to plant watermelons for him, the nostalgia in his eyes turned into hope, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay then." He returned the cup lid to Chi Yue and stopped looking at the medicinal gourds frequently: "We will plant them together then."

Xun Song: "And me!" He shook his feet: "Master, when can we leave here?"

He can't wait to plant watermelons.

Mingzhang: "Soon."

Xunsong: "How long will it take?"

Mingming couldn't answer, but Wen Qizhou calculated the kilometers and estimated, "I should be able to leave this afternoon."

He cheered: "Great!"

The desert is certainly novel, but the temperature difference between day and night and the inconvenience of life can easily erase that sense of novelty.

In particular, access to water is difficult.

Except for Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, no one else had washed their hair once in three or four days. Everyone was looking forward to leaving the desert as soon as possible and finding a water source that could save them.

Fortunately nothing went wrong today.

They followed the compass and drove until two o'clock in the afternoon. They finally left the desert as Wen Qizhou expected, and saw a green mountain range standing not far away.

Ming Ming increased the speed of the car and continued along the road leading to the bottom of the mountain. When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, two rows of brick houses with a period atmosphere suddenly broke into his sight.

Because the brick house was downhill from the road, he and Wen Qizhou, who was in the passenger seat, could clearly see the smoke rising from the first brick house, as well as the man standing on a piece of land outside the wall, wearing a I-shaped vest and waving. Man with hoe.

"There are actually people living here." Mingming's gaze passed over ten brick houses, and he was surprised but still alert.

Wen Qizhou narrowed his eyes.

He stared at the man who looked towards them after hearing the noise, and then said: "Stop next to him."

The SUV is parked next to the fence.

Holding a hoe in his right hand, the equally vigilant and defensive man raised his head to reveal his face covered with sweat.

"Did you come from the desert?" He looked at Wen Qizhou walking around the front of the car and asked knowingly.

Wen Qizhou: "Yes." He met the man's innocent eyes and told the reason why they came here. After lowering his guard, he asked: "Is there any water source nearby?"

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't look like a perpetrator, and that there were also rosy-cheeked children in the team.

He put down the hoe: "Yes."
