Chapter 198
ughter saved my life. Now they are in trouble. As Xiang Yunfeng, I know how to repay kindness. Tonight, going down into the pit, I don't know what will happen. I really want to help the two of them.""..."What about the others! Xiaoxuan, did you see anyone else!"
She shook her hair, and said in a shaken voice, "I didn't see, it's so big here, we must have gotten separated..."
After searching many times, although I didn't want to admit it, Miss Zhao was right. We have indeed become disconnected from the team.
The more times like this, the more we can't be reckless. After forcing myself to calm down, I calculated.
The dust storm just now should have lasted for more than an hour. I calculated it based on an hour and a half, which is 90 minutes.
If it moves about one meter in five seconds, in one minute it is about 10 meters. Calculating this, if we don't know the direction, at the very least, we have deviated by half a li.
This is already a positive development, and the actual situation could be even better.
I can't see anyone else right now. I know a little, and in this situation, if we can't find each other right away, we'll likely drift further and further apart.
The caravan lost contact and Miss Zhao was a little panicked, even afraid. She grabbed my arm and asked, "What do we do, Yunfeng We have all our things tied to the camels."
">
"Don't panic, I'm working on it."
">
I frowned and thought of several solutions, but ultimately dismissed them all. Some were unfeasible, while others likely wouldn't work at all.
For example, I wanted to use beacons to signal for help, but there wasn't anything flammable around.
"Let's go," I gritted out. "A dead horse is a live horse, staying here waiting for them is unrealistic. Only by moving will we have a better chance of seeing the caravan. How are you feeling You don't look so well."
">
Miss Zhao's lips were chapped and dry, and she weakly said, "Yunfeng, I feel weak all over. It would be great if I could have a drink of water.
"
"""
"Water..."
"Yeah," I licked my lips, feeling nothing but a dull ache.
"Give me your hand, we can't just sit here and wait to die. If we stay here any longer, we'll both dehydrate. By the time we find our heads, it'll be too late," I said, pulling her up. We walked west, taking deep steps and shallow steps.
We are going to look for water.
Finding someone with drinkable water in this kind of place is no easy feat. The decision to head west was a gamble, as the terrain here is mostly flat and lacks any significant elevation changes.
Before we went to Alashan, Lao Zhang spent half a day training us, mainly orally imparting some of his experience.
One of the most important things is how to find drinkable water in the desert.
Water is the source of life. People can only survive with water. At that time, I listened carefully and remembered several methods.
Lao Zhang said that if you see ashgrass (a grayish kind of grass) and moss in the desert, it means that place is relatively humid. Pull out the ashgrass and dig along its roots downwards. If you dig deeper and it gets more humid, then there's a high probability of finding water underground.
Also, in the evening and morning, pay attention to the sky. If you see several birds circling overhead, you can follow their flight path. If you're lucky, there may be a water source beneath the flock of birds.
"Also, look for dried-up riverbeds. If you find one, you can dig in the shady spots where the river bends. If you dig a few times and hit damp sand, there might be some freshwater below."
OK, the plan is set. I started looking for water with Zhao Xuanyan.
Whenever I saw where the creeping jenny was growing, I would stop. Unfortunately, my luck was terrible; I tried digging several times in a row but didn't find anything. Underneath the creeping jenny, there was only some damp sand, not enough water for drinking.
We tried following the bird flock again, but we only became more and more disappointed and exhausted. She is a girl after all, and in the end, she couldn't walk anymore.
"I... I can't do this anymore, we're going to die here."
">
"Don't talk like that, there's still another way," I gritted my teeth and said.
What can I do I really can't walk anymore.
I looked around, helplessly pointing at myself.
We drink our own.
