After an hour's rest, both sides recovered some physical fitness and continued on the road. The following is the same in the second half of the night, walking for two hours and resting for half to one hour. I'm glad I didn't encounter any accidents along the way, such as quicksand pit, poisonous snake and so on. But there are no good things, such as flora, water and so on. Even the birds did not see one, what kind of insect call, there is no, it can be said that the desert is a quiet death zone.
Without noticing it, it was dawn, and they could hardly move. Although it is still a few hours before the sun rises and scorches the earth, after a relatively high sand dune, the back can hide from the sun, so the two sides stopped, drank some water and went to sleep. This time, it's no longer one on duty and one sleeping, and then it's changed, because it's far away from vicas, and the danger has been reduced.
Because he was too tired, Huang Ziping was dead when he slept until he was awakened by the heat. He opened his eyes and saw that there were layers of heat waves outside except where he was.
Looking next door, Yang Wei disappeared. He was so scared that he quickly went to the top of the dune, put his hand above his eyes and looked around.
Well, Yang Wei is in the south, about 100 meters away. She holds a gun and seems to be scratching something on the sand with the barrel. Huang Ziping went down the sand dune and wanted to walk over to have a look. It was less than 20 meters before Yang Wei suddenly turned back. She walked very fast and came back to Huang Ziping with sweat and breath. Huang Ziping asked her why she was going? She said that she saw a helicopter flying by ten minutes ago. She wanted to draw a distress signal on the ground, but it didn't seem to work. A gust of wind could cover the trace. Unless there was something bright in color, she would be busy in vain.
Waste of energy, it's nothing to do, asking for help, who knows who saved himself? There are still dozens of kilometers left. It's better to go out by yourself.
Pull Yang Wei down and sit down. Huang Ziping gives her water: "the last bottle..."
Yang Wei drank a few mouthfuls: "it's too hot, the clothes are almost dry, I think, can we use the water of the clothes first?"
Huang Ziping turns over the bag and takes out the bag for clothes. It seems like this, so he hands it to Yang Wei. In fact, there is psychological conflict, both sides are the same, just to survive, even if it's just a drop of water, even if it's dirty, it really can't be wasted. After all, whether or not to be rescued may be decided by a drop of water.
At noon, when the sun was shining, Huang Ziping and Yang Wei dug a sand pit on their back and buried their bodies in it. Yang Wei covered their heads with leather bags, while Huang Ziping used boxes. Two people's faces were smeared with cactus juice, and they continued to sleep until the sun went down. They didn't climb out, finished their bread slices and went on the road.
After walking for several hours, Huang Ziping saw that there seemed to be a cactus in front of him, which was different from those he had seen before. He quickly took a few steps to get to him.
Yang Wei took a look and said, "you can see this thing all the way. What do you want to see? Let's go
Huang Ziping shook his head and said, "no, this one is different. It's a single color. It turns out that the colors and shapes we see are very strange. Don't you think this one looks familiar? "
"I think it's about the same."
"I feel the same as our Chinese breed. Give me the dagger."
"What are you doing? We still have a lot left. Don't increase the weight... "
"If it's similar to the Chinese variety and can be eaten, this monochrome one is not poisonous. Of course, it won't taste good. It's more difficult to taste than aloe."
Yang Wei felt that what Huang Ziping said was reasonable. He didn't talk nonsense any more. He took out the dagger and handed it over.
Huang Ziping put down the box, took a dagger and cut a small piece the size of his thumb. It was full of juice, bluish white and slippery. He peeled off the skin and pricked it up with a dagger. He glanced at Yang Wei and saw that Yang Wei was very nervous. Huang Ziping himself was also nervous. If it was poisonous, he had to hang up. But then again, if there is no poison, the problems of water and food can be solved. This thing is the Savior of the desert, right? It's juicy, and there's meat.
Put it in your mouth. It stinks and bitter, but it's OK. It's like eating pitaya. It's very soft.
Chewed a few times, Huang Ziping swallow down, nodded to Yang Wei: "good bad, but it should be no poison."
Yang Wei said, "is that ok?"
"I don't know. It's better than not."
"In fact, you should understand these. You are a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine."
"You're still in pharmacy!"
Yang Wei's words are blocked.
Well, it seems like a compliment. It shouldn't be like this! Huang Ziping coughed and said, "well, do you have anything to hold? We'll cut this one off. "
Yang Wei shook his head and said, "no, use your clothes."
Just put it on and take it off soon? Huang Ziping had no choice but to take off his clothes and smooth them out. Then he began to cut the stems of the cactus with a dagger. He cut 16 cactus about 20 cm long, wrapped them up and hung them on his back. He carried on with the box. It has to be said that it is these 16 cacti that have played a role, otherwise they can't go out. Of course, it was the next night, when there was only one plant left and the other 15 plants had been eaten, but the Kowa oasis marked on the map did not appear.Is this going in the wrong direction? Two people with maps and compass research. The moon is too dark to see clearly. With the help of the light of the lighter, it seems that there is nothing wrong. Finally, I tried for a long time to find that the compass is not accurate. It seems to be biased. How much is biased can't be calculated. In other words, they don't know the direction of Kowa oasis.
God, what's going on? Are you going to despair again?
The two men discussed the countermeasures.
Watching the North Star go?
Damn, but the moon is still very dark, the stars are basically invisible, the sky is not good, unable to judge.
There is no water at all. There are only two empty bottles left, and there is only one cactus left for food. If you go in the wrong direction, you must die of thirst.
Both of them were looking around, judging how to go? In the end, Huang Ziping asked Yang Wei to use her intuition. Yang Wei probably felt that she had a big responsibility. She said that she listened to Huang Ziping's opinions, so she discussed for nearly an hour, but just didn't take a few steps.
Huang Ziping said: "Miss Yang, you just found out that the compass is off. Do you have a left or right intuition? If it's to the left, we adjust to the right. If it's to the right, we adjust to the left. "
Yang Wei said: "I can't judge, I know it's biased..."
"In that case, there is another way, the wind."
"The wind? What does it have to do with fashion? "
"The wind tonight is the same as that of the previous two nights, but the dust seems to be thinner."
"Oh, I see. The wind comes from oases, cities and towns, so the dust should be thinner?" Yang Wei is also a very smart woman. Huang Ziping said that half of the time, she can understand the other half in an instant, and the communication is not difficult.
"It's just possible, I don't know if it's right."
"Other ideas have no basis. This idea has basis. Let's go like this, adjust to the right and go."
This idea needs to be discussed. Yang Wei agrees. Huang Ziping thinks it's a bit of a joke. After all, he is not very confident.
But seeing that Yang Wei had already moved forward, he could only follow him while praying.
I don't know how long they have been walking. They are very tired and sleepy. They want to have a rest, but they dare not.
After walking for several days, their physical fitness is not as good as before. Obviously, the walking speed is slow, the pace is more laborious, and the interval of rest needs to be adjusted is short. If they continue to develop in such a state, they will not be able to walk in half a day. In other words, if they can't find an oasis in half a day, they will surely die. Because both sides understand the situation they are facing, no matter how sleepy or tired they are, they still stick to it.
They sat down, took out the last cactus and divided it into two parts to supplement their physical strength.
After about half an hour's rest, Huang Ziping said, "we haven't seen any cactus this night. We don't even have any other plants. Either we are doomed or we don't need any more! I hope it's the latter. Let's go while we still have strength... "
Yang Wei said: "how long do you feel you can persist?"
"I don't know, an hour, or two. If you can't find water, that's it... " Huang Ziping showed a wry smile, "don't take the gun, don't take it..."
"Well." After Yang Wei cleaned up for a while, he reached for Huang Ziping to pull her up, "God bless you."
Before the heat wave came again, they continued to walk in the right direction. For half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half, they couldn't walk any more. The water shortage was very serious. Huang Ziping even had the illusion, saw the cool metropolis, and then a whirl, people fell on the sand. Yang Wei immediately squatted down, patted his face and said: "Hey, I didn't give up, did you give up? We continue to walk, to the front of the sand dunes, where the terrain is high, see far
Huang Ziping said, "no, I can't walk any more. That's it!"
"Take a look. If we still can't see the oasis, we won't walk on it." Yang Wei pulled Huang Ziping's arm, "get up, go."
"I don't want to go."
"I let you go, accompany me to go, I still don't want to die, unwilling, I how all want to see one eye, one eye."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"You get up, I order you to go with me, you must go with me." Yang Wei is still very hard to pull Huang Ziping. She can't pull it. She pinches and slaps directly. She is very hard. She is very angry. Her whole face is ferocious. In an instant, she turns a little sheep into a female Yaksha. But in fact, it's the first time in her life that she has ever smoked people like this.
The pain seemed to make Huang Ziping's consciousness clear. He and Yang Wei looked at each other, sat up slowly by their will, and then stood up.
The two men helped each other and walked on the sand dune about 300 meters away.
Three hundred meters. It's a short distance. It's only a few minutes' walk under normal conditions. But they walked for more than ten minutes and were exhausted after climbing up. At least Huang Ziping was like this. He had no time to look ahead. He fell on the soft sand and lost consciousness
