Chapter 2526 Difference and Ending (two chapters in one)
A figure is walking on the edge of the desert. There is not a cloud in the sky, and the sun is spreading its passion to the earth wantonly.
"It's so hot!"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was sweating profusely from the heat. It had been more than two hours since he had been on the road. Now the sun was very uncomfortable and he had to stop and take a rest.
Looking around, I found a shady place in the distance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly ran forward. When he arrived at his location, he immediately hid in the shade of a tree, took off his backpack, took out his water bottle, and took several sips.
"call……"
After drinking the water, the uncomfortable feeling was much lessened, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead let out a sigh of relief.
"twitter……"
There was a sound of birdsong in the air, and suddenly the cry of birds was heard. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was immediately attracted to his attention.
He raised his head and looked at the place where the sound came from, and found a gray sparrow flying in the sky.
This sparrow is quite big, half a meter long. It must have been dizzy due to the sun, and its flying movements now look a bit clumsy.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the sparrow in the sky for more than ten seconds, and found that the sparrow began to land.
Within a few seconds, a sparrow fell from the sky and landed in a patch of grass dozens of meters away from the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Is there water there?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead saw the sparrow fall into the grass and not appear again, so he couldn't help but speculate whether there was a spring in the grass.
Like at the edge of the desert, if you see some animals staying in one place for a long time without making any movement, either this place is very suitable for resting, or this place has a spring.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead did not approach rashly now. He rested on the spot for more than ten minutes and recovered the energy he had consumed.
Suddenly a bird song sounded in the distance, and the sparrow that had just fallen into the grass flew up.
At first, this sparrow was listless, but now it flew into the sky with great energy, flying quickly into the distance. After a while, it turned into a small black dot.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up and walked towards the grass where the sparrows had just flown.
He did not rush into the grass, but first picked up a stone and threw it into the grass to make sure there was no ambush in the grass.
Although with the strength of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, he does not need to be afraid of any beasts that are not particularly ferocious.
But in today's hot weather, as long as we can avoid unnecessary battles, it doesn't take much time to pick up a stone and test it, so why not do it.
The stone flew into the grass without any movement.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked into the grass and walked straight into the depths of the grass. Within two or three minutes, a spring with water gushing out appeared in front of him.
"There really is a spring."
"Look at these footprints, it must have been drinking water here just now."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, glanced around the spring and found the footprints of birds, from which he could infer that the sparrow was indeed drinking water here.
After such a long period of consumption, the water bottle I carried with me actually didn’t have much water left in it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead has now discovered a spring. As long as he can be sure that the water in this spring is drinkable, he can immediately refill his almost empty water bottle.
He squatted down, reached out and took some water and took a sip. The sweet taste immediately emerged.
The water from this spring is drinkable and tastes very good.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead washed his face and filled up the water bottle.
When traveling in such a water-scarce area, water is more important than food.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, put away the kettle filled with water and continued on his way along the established route.
Not long after, he left the resting place and came to a bush area with many sharp thorns.
"Huh?"
The pig-headed captain, who had been to this place before and had a brown birthmark on his forehead, saw that the bushes did not have so many sharp thorns.
At this moment, looking around, I saw patches of bushes with dense thorns, which was completely different from what I had seen before.
"It's really strange."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was puzzled. He didn't understand why the large plant in front of him had changed so much after not seeing it for a while.
However, although the bushes change greatly, which will affect some of the rhythm of the journey, overall this difficulty is not particularly difficult to overcome.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drew his weapon, cut off the spikes blocking the road, and then walked forward slowly.
…………
Time passes, and the sun hanging in the sky is not as hot as before.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, spent a lot of time and finally passed a large area of bushes covered with spikes.
"It's finally out."
"The sun is going down soon. I should find a place to rest next."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at the horizon, and found that the sun had changed color. He knew that the sun would disappear soon, so he had to find a place to spend the night.
place.
"Although I have never spent the night in this place before, I saw a huge dead tree when I passed by..."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead recalled the things he had seen when he passed by this place before, and made a decision in his mind.
Relying on his memory, he quickly walked forward to the left. Without the spiked bushes blocking his way, he moved very fast.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, spent six or seven minutes climbing over a small sand dune and finally saw the dead tree in his memory.
This dead tree is 100 meters tall, and it takes six or seven people to hold hands to hug the trunk.
Due to frequent sandstorms, a large part of the dead trees have been blown off by the wind.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the dead tree, looked at the tree hole that appeared on the trunk, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
He will spend the night in the hollow of this dead tree tonight. This kind of tree hollow is no worse than a cave.
The first thing to do now is to check if there are other creatures in the tree hole. If so, they need to be driven away.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cautiously entered the tree hole and checked carefully, but found no other creatures making their home here.
He put down his backpack and began to collect some wood from the surrounding area.
It took a while and a large pile of wood was quickly collected.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, cut the wood into sections to make it easier to burn.
There was only a trace of the sun left in the sky, the sky was getting darker and darker, and shining stars appeared one after another, and it didn't take long for them to fill the night sky.
When the sun completely disappeared, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked up at the sky and found that the weather began to change. The night sky full of stars is very beautiful, but there are some clouds in one corner of the sky.
"Isn't it going to rain?"
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, walked along the desert and had not encountered any rainy weather during this period.
Fortunately, the terrain he was on at the moment was on a high ground. Otherwise, if it really started to rain, he would have had a headache if he was in a low-lying area.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead piled some wood together, and the bonfire soon ignited. The orange-red fire dispersed the darkness in the tree hole, and the shadows on the ground swayed with the swaying light of the fire.
The bonfire was raised, the temperature in the tree hole rose rapidly, and the coldness on the body disappeared in a short time.
After the sun goes down, the temperature in the desert area drops very quickly. If the bonfire is not raised in time, the cold alone will be enough for a person to drink a pot.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead roasted himself for a while. After his body warmed up, he opened his backpack and took out a kettle and some food.
"According to my current speed, it will take another two or three days to leave this area."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was eating simple food while thinking about how far he had to go to leave the area in front of him.
Unknowingly, the food in his hand was finished, and the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead filled his stomach.
The wind started to pick up outside, and the sound of wind echoed in the air, making people feel that the surrounding atmosphere was very quiet.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked out of the tree hole and looked towards the place where the clouds appeared.
When he saw that the area of clouds on the horizon had not expanded, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the tree hole is located at a high place, if it starts to rain, some changes will inevitably happen. This is something the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead does not want to see.
Now he just hopes that everything will go well and he can successfully escape from this desert area that is short of water.
"roar……"
A beast roared in the distance, and the sound came from the direction of the desert.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was already very familiar with the roars of these beasts. He looked towards the desert, thinking that it would be best not to cause trouble for him in the rest of the night when these strange beasts came to him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't mind harvesting some exotic animal meat for breakfast the next morning.
Withdrawing his gaze from the distance, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead returned to the tree hole to rest.
Today, he spent a lot of effort to get through the bushes with sharp thorns.
Now there are sounds of strange beasts in the distance, and it is uncertain whether the strange beasts in the desert will come to the resting place.
Before the worst happens, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead needs to seize the time to take a good rest and regain his exhausted energy.
…………
"Ding dong."
Lin Fei was playing on the computer in the study room when his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.
He paused the game, took out his phone to check, and found that it was a message from Zhou Yue, so he read the content of the message and immediately replied.
"Okay, just wait for a few minutes and I'll pick you up right away."
Lin Fei saved the progress of the game, turned off the computer, got up, left the study, and went to the bathroom to wash his face.
A few days ago, Zhou Yue told Lin Fei the time when the business trip would end. It was agreed that Lin Fei would be notified in advance on the day it ended, and then Lin Fei would pick her up.
Now that the time was up, Lin Fei went to the bathroom to wash his face and walked out of the bathroom refreshed.
The space teleportation ability was activated, and Lin Fei's figure disappeared instantly after a white light appeared.
The scene in front of me changed dramatically, and a very familiar fragrance floated in the air.
Lin Fei used his space teleportation ability to arrive at the hotel room where Zhou Yue was staying. He saw the nightgown on the sofa and couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"I'm going home soon, and I don't know how to pack my nightgown."
When Zhou Yue sent the message just now, she had just come out of the company. Lin Fei came to the hotel room where she was staying and had to wait for a while before seeing her come back.
Sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Lin Fei folded Zhou Yue's nightgown and put it aside.
I picked up the TV remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, and watched the news while waiting for Zhou Yue to come back from get off work.
Time passed by and more than ten minutes had passed before I knew it.
According to Zhou Yue's speed, she should have returned to the hotel by now.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door suddenly. Lin Fei, who was watching TV, heard the noise and looked towards the door with a puzzled expression on his face.
"What is she doing?"
Lin Fei sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the person outside the door and determined that the person was Zhou Yue.
He got up and went to the door and opened it. The pretty Zhou Yue stood at the door.
"Hehe, you're here!"
"Did you forget your keys?"
"No! I just want to knock on the door to see if you are there. If you are, you will open the door for me."
"You're so boring."
"Yes, I am a boring person." Zhou Yue gave Lin Fei a charming look.
"Bang." The door of the guest room closed, and Zhou Yue came into the room.
"You haven't packed anything yet, hurry up and pack it up!" Lin Fei urged.
"I know, you sit down for a while and I'll pack it up soon." Zhou Yue said with a smile, and then started to pack her luggage.
Lin Fei returned to the living room, sat down on the sofa, then reached out and picked up a peach from the fruit plate and took a bite.
"Where did you buy these peaches?"
Lin Fei thought peaches were very delicious and asked Zhou Yue who was packing her things.
"My colleagues in the company gave it to me. They said they were peaches from their own orchard." Zhou Yue put the clothes in her suitcase and responded when she heard Lin Fei's question.
"Would you like to eat at home or out at night?" Lin Fei took a bite of the peach and then asked.
Zhou Yue smiled and said, "I think it's been a while since I've had mutton soup. How about we have mutton soup tonight?"
"I can do it. Since you want to drink mutton soup, then tonight we will go to the restaurant we often go to to drink mutton soup." Lin Fei said.
