In a normal four hours, I just play a few games of King of Kings, watch a few episodes of a TV series, or just take a nap.
But for Chen Yang and Tang Wan, these four hours seemed to be endless.
"fortunately......"
"...We didn't go down in the canyon."
Chen Yang sighed with emotion and felt a little scared.
They walked hard on the yellow sand for four hours above the canyon, but there was still a crack on the top of the canyon under their feet.
If they were trudging forward through the cracks in the canyon, they might not have reached even one-tenth of the distance by now.
If I find the water source within today, I'm afraid it's just a dream.
Even so, after four hours of long walking, Chen Yang and Tang Wan still didn't see any trace of water.
Tang Wan was determined not to let Chen Yang carry him on his back along the way. He didn't know how long it would take to rest and how long it would take to find a water source. If Chen Yang's energy was exhausted, neither of them would be able to get out.
"Even if I have to carry it, I'll wait until I faint myself!"
Logan was extremely serious and determined.
But willpower could not change her extreme dehydration and confusion at the moment.
Sudden--
Tang Wan stumbled, his vision went dark, and he felt like the world was spinning.
As she fell headlong, Tang Wan smiled bitterly in her heart: "It's still going to become a burden."
At this moment, Chen Yang reached out to support him in time, and at the same time said in surprise: "Wife, look, water!"
"Ah~"
Tang Wan didn't know where the strength came from, and she raised her head suddenly. She suddenly became more awake and looked at what Chen Yang was pointing at.
There, there was a schist mountain wall. Even under the scorching sun, the mountain wall was still wet and muddy, even like rotten mud.
"..."
Logan rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had missed something.
Where is the water here?
Just...a mud puddle...
Chen Yang, half-supporting and half-hugging, took Tang Wan and rushed to the foot of the mountain wall.
As soon as he arrived, the humid air made Logan feel like he was alive.
It's just... I still didn't see any drinkable water.
"Chen Yang, what are you talking about?"
Logan asked with expectation and some worry.
She was afraid that Chen Yang would say a few words: "I saw it wrong."
"Here it is."
Chen Yang pointed at the mud pit that Tang Wan had seen before.
A closer look shows that there is indeed some water accumulated on the mud pit, which appears to be turbid and hazy, much worse than the dark green water in the billabong pool.
Tang Wan frowned and asked: "Chen Yang, didn't you say you can't drink stagnant water?
This water is too dirty."
Chen Yang smiled, patted the mountain wall, and said excitedly: "Honey, this is not stagnant water, this is the most authentic mineral-filtered water."
There was a question mark on Tang Wan's forehead.
Chen Yang smiled and explained.
It turns out that the water in the mud pit did not fall from the sky, but was rich in groundwater inside or below the mountain wall.
Then, the groundwater was filtered through the rocks and collected in the mud pit, which is the muddy water in front of you.
