The team seemed much calmer and more depressed without a scar-faced man who talked nonsense. Chen Yang's "tragic experience" that was both true and false also gained everyone's recognition and sympathy. In addition, the reason for Sister Hong's wound was unknown.

He recovered. Although everyone still doubted Chen Yang, it was no longer important. Everyone was in a better mood.

Ever since she slapped Chen Yang last night, Mrs. Hong’s eyes looked a little awkward when she looked at Chen Yang. The more awkward she became, the more she couldn’t help but want to look at him more. Chen Yang’s face was fair but weathered.

, hiding many secrets that no one can guess.

Sister-in-law Hong didn't believe Chen Yang's touching words. She always felt that this boy was not a simple person. Her wounds were healed after being touched by his palms, and the spiritual power that forced the snake venom out of her body was generated only when he touched her.

of.

Chen Yang felt Sister-in-law Hong's eyes looking over at her from time to time. He pretended not to notice, looking tired and out of breath, and followed the camel with small steps, stepping on the footprints left by the people in front of him.

Go forward.

Last night, he secretly went to treat Mrs. Hong's wound and received a slap in the face. Even now, his face is still burning. There is a price to pay for doing good deeds. Chen Yang felt in his heart that it is difficult to be a good person, especially if you do good deeds without leaving your name.

It's harder for people to do it.

When Chen Yang touched Sister Hong's wound, he felt her erratic heartbeat, which meant that Sister Hong was pretending to sleep; while healing the wound, he felt that Sister Hong's skin was very smooth and soft, and the feeling when touching her was similar to Long Xiaoyu's.

She doesn't look like an old lady, and the expressions the three Zhou brothers treat Sister-in-law Hong are not normal. Others call her Sister-in-law Hong, but they don't call her Sister-in-law Hong, and they take great care of her.

Chen Yang and Mrs. Hong were each puzzled. They looked at each other several times and quickly pretended to be indifferent and looked away.

The brothers of the Zhou family also noticed the clues between the two of them, and they all pretended not to notice. They laughed and joked, and even made some mild jokes with Chen Yang from time to time.

Seeing that it was noon again, Chen Yang started to feel thirsty again. He had run out of water yesterday morning. In the past half day, he had to rely on several people to give him water to quench his thirst. He said that he would be able to reach a place with water this morning. Chen Yang

He didn't keep his mouth shut and drank it all by accident.

Seeing Chen Yang drinking water from the kettle, with the kettle turned upside down, Sister-in-law Hong knew that Chen Yang had finished drinking the water again. She shook her kettle, and the sound of water sloshing could no longer be heard. It was almost invisible.

The state of water is gone.

"Brother, how long will it take for us to get to a place with water?" Sister-in-law Hong asked.

"Because you were bitten by a snake, we were delayed for a while. It will probably take half the afternoon. You can hold on for a while! We have no water either." Boss Zhou said.

Chen Yang knew that Brother Zhou was telling him this. Don't think about asking for water. Everyone is gone just like you. Chen Yang endured it and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't we take a break before leaving."

Boss Zhou said: "We can't stop now. We must find a water source before it gets dark. If it gets dark, where can we find water in this endless desert?"

Boss Zhou spoke, and Mrs. Hong did not object, so no one dared to say no, so everyone had no choice but to move forward without stopping.

Sister-in-law Hong knew that what her elder brother said was true. If she missed the water source and went to the next water source, she might die of thirst. In this desert, she could endure a day or two without food, but she couldn't survive without water.

"Everyone, please work hard. Let's eat some dry food while walking, and then rest when we reach the water source. Then everyone will eat and drink enough," said Boss Zhou.

The north wind whistled hard and seemed to get stronger and stronger, and fine sand began to be wrapped in the wind, which hit my face with heartbreaking pain.

Chen Yang took a bite of the cold and hard bun, but his mouth was so dry that there was no saliva left, so he couldn't swallow the dry bun.

We all ate steamed buns in the cold wind and walked hard for a long time. We saw a tall sand dune not far ahead. The four camels seemed to have sensed something and started jogging towards the sand dune.

Boss Zhou shouted loudly: "Everyone, please work harder. The water source is right in front of the sand dunes."

When everyone was exhausted, they finally climbed up the high sand dune and just took a breath at the top of the dune. Chen Yang saw several people wrapped in clothes and lying on the sand, with their heads and feet facing towards

Slide down under the sand dune.

Seeing Chen Yang staring at a Western scene with his eyes wide open, he watched everyone slide down quickly. Mrs. Hong also packed up and sat on the sand, saying: "Brother Chen Yang, what are you looking at? Follow me down quickly.

!”

Chen Yang also imitated their example, straightened his clothes, lay on the sand and slid down.

The sand dunes are very steep, and the sand is soft. When a person lies up, the sand flows, and the speed of sliding down becomes faster and faster.

Chen Yang didn't expect that he could reach the bottom of the sand dune without exerting any effort. Several other people stood up, arranged themselves, and were waiting for Mrs. Hong and Chen Yang.

It was Chen Yang's first time sliding down a sand dune. He thought it was fun, but he didn't control the direction well. He veered off in the middle and was a hundred or two hundred meters away from where everyone was going. Sister Hong followed Chen Yang closely, fearing that he would appear.

What a mistake.

Seeing Boss Zhou and others running towards the water source a few hundred meters away, Chen Yang and Sao Hong did not go to join Boss Zhou and others, but walked towards the water source ahead from here.

The water source under the sand dunes is a large lake, but now is the winter dry season, coupled with the cold climate, the water source is almost dry, and the pitiful little water in the small puddle in the deepest part of the lake has frozen.

Boss Zhou saw several people around the puddle from a distance. He quickly stopped and waved his hand to signal others to stop too. Because not only did he see the silhouette of a person, he also saw the silhouette of a desert wolf and several wolf howls.

Others also heard the howl of wolves and looked at each other in horror. Everyone knew what this meant, that is, wolves and humans were competing for limited water sources. Those who arrived first had already confronted or fought with the wolves.

, if you want to make the wolves retreat, you have to frighten them and drive them away.

The wolves in the desert are extremely ferocious. Food is scarce in the desert, so they often attack people passing by.

In front of the water hole, two desert wolves and four people were confronting each other. Neither the humans nor the wolves would give in when they were thirsty, but the water was just a little bit, and it was even frozen. I couldn't drink it for a while, and the waves were already there.

After wandering on the ice for a long time, unable to open the ice layer to drink water, my temper was getting bad, so people came to fight with them.

An eagle spread its wings and flew over in the sky, and the sound of spreading its wings was heard. An old beggar holding a dog beating stick moved when he heard the sound, his thin body flashed, and a figure flew towards a wolf.

The stick fell like lightning, and where it landed was a piece of frozen sand. It hit a piece of yellow sand and the stick sank deeply into the sand. You can imagine how strong the stick was.

The wolf escaped silently and retreated in front of the old beggar, with its front legs on the ground, its back bulging high, its eyes shining, and before the old beggar came to his senses, it pounced on him like an arrow from a string.

Got him.

When the old beggar was still thinking about how the wolf avoided his fatal blow, he didn't expect that the wolf was smarter than him and attacked him one step ahead.

The wolf pounced on the old beggar from mid-air, intending to give him a fatal blow. This is called indiscretion! It seems that this wolf understands the three tastes of this.

The old beggar was worthy of being a master among masters. He suddenly fell backwards and turned on his back. At the same time, the dog-beating stick turned into a sharp sword and he lifted it up. The ferocious wolf quickly jumped from him.

However, the dog-beating stick also scratched its belly.

The wolf flew over and fell heavily on the ice-hard sand before feeling the pain. It roared and howled a few times, fell headlong and cursed. A large area of ​​sand under its body was stained red with bright red wolf blood.

When the other wolf saw the death of its companion, it howled several times, tucked its tail and fled into the desert.

"It's the seniors who have experienced the disaster." Team leader Zheng woke up from his stunned expression for a long time and praised him inappropriately.

"I have sweated a lot for my senior, and my palms are still sweaty even now." Xu Niang said with lingering fear.

"I'm also covered in cold sweat. I didn't expect this wolf to be so fast and smart." The old beggar said with some fear.

"Let's break the ice and get water quickly! The wolves will come around soon." Xu Niang said.

Team leader Zheng raised a small hammer and smashed it hard against the ice. Bump, bump, bump, fine ice slag splashed on the ice, and there were a few white marks on the ice, not even a crack.

.

"This ice layer is too thick and cannot be broken with a hammer." Team Leader Zheng said in frustration after pounding it hard for a dozen times.

"I'll come!" Xu Niang said.

Xu Niang used her full strength to hit the ice with her palm. After a few snaps, the ice cracked with more than a dozen cracks, but it still did not break.

"This ice is too thick." Xu Niang said. These pictures took a lot of strength from her.

Team leader Zheng took the hammer and hit it more than ten times before breaking a small gap. But then he lamented and said: "It's all in vain. There is no water under the ice layer. All this water has been wiped out."

Frozen into ice cubes.”

Xu Niang lifted up several thick ice cubes one after another. The bottom of the lake turned out to be dry, with no water except wet sand.

The water source obtained by risking his life by killing a wolf turned out to be thick ice. This was a result that few people expected.

"Ice is also water, but it needs to be burned with fire. Then quickly find firewood and turn the ice into water. This is not a place to stay for a long time. Get the water and leave as soon as possible. The wolves will be here as soon as you talk." said the old beggar.

"Here comes another person!" Team Leader Zheng said as he looked at the figure walking in the distance.

"First bring the ice cubes and pile them into piles, and those who are spared will grab them." Xu Niang said, looking at the few ice cubes.

Xu Niang picked up a large piece of ice from the bottom of the lake to a high place, put it down, and then returned quickly; the other two people also hurriedly carried a few pieces of thick ice.
