As they moved forward, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead moved faster and faster.
Since he no longer has to climb over sand dunes, he can travel very easily now.
Because of the dry climate at the edge of the desert, many plants are relatively low.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was on the road, he would look at the low bushes around him from time to time to prevent any strange beasts hiding in them from suddenly launching a sneak attack on him.
"Um?"
Suddenly, a lot of green appeared in front.
I haven't seen so many green plants in this area for a long time, and it's surprising that they suddenly appear now.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead walked for a few minutes, and a large area of green plants appeared in front of him.
The ground was originally covered with yellow sand, but now there are many weeds.
When the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stepped onto the grass, he glanced ahead and saw the green plants all over the ground.
"How come there is such a large area of grassland in this place?"
"Is it because it rained before, or is the groundwater here very abundant?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stopped temporarily, looking at the grass that suddenly appeared in front of him and thinking.
He had been to this area before, and there wasn't such a large area of grassland at that time.
There are so many weeds now and they are still growing vigorously, which means there is no shortage of water.
The weeds growing on the edge of the desert are particularly tenacious. Generally, if there is a particularly heavy rain, weeds will grow on the lifeless sand after the heavy rain.
It is not until the moist land becomes dry again after a long period of time that there is no drop of water, and the weeds that have grown will die.
Another possibility is that underground rivers are diverted. After this invisible river is diverted, an area will have a very abundant water source under the sand, which can also make some areas full of life.
The reason why oases exist in deserts is in many cases because there are underground rivers under the sand. This is the basis for the existence of oases.
The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the large beautiful green area in front of him, thought for a while, and continued to move forward.
There are still several hours before the sun goes down, and he can take advantage of this time to walk a little further.
Because the current area was overgrown with weeds, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, did not feel particularly dry and drank water much less frequently than before.
If you spend the night in this place, it will be much more comfortable at night.
Unfortunately, there is still a long time before the sun goes down. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cannot stop now to find a place to spend the night.
…………
Time flew by, and before we knew it, the sun in the sky began to change color.
The golden sun begins to turn into a bright red state, reminding everything on the earth that it will disappear soon.
The temperature of the desert, which had been baked by the sun all day, began to drop.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was walking on the grass. He thought he would leave this area in an hour or two, but he ended up still in the grass area after walking all afternoon.
The area of this grassland is many times larger than expected by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead.
"Looks like I have to rest here tonight."
After walking for several hours, I have exhausted a lot of energy. It is time to stop and recuperate.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then he turned his head and looked in the direction of the setting sun.
After the sun in the sky changed color, it seemed to be setting faster.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, estimated that the sky was getting dark at the current speed, and that it might be completely dark in more than half an hour.
In order to find a suitable resting place before dark, the pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, needed to find a place to spend the night as soon as possible.
"twitter……"
Several gray birds appeared on the horizon, making a series of calls, and then flew towards the place where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was about to find a place to rest. He saw the birds appearing in the distance, stared at them, and found that these birds were flying towards a forest in the distance.
Because of the abundant water resources in this place, there are woods in many places.
Although the area of these woods is not large, compared with other dry places, the area is already quite large.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead wanted to find a cave to settle down in. There was no cave around, so he had to change his mind.
At this moment, he saw those birds flying towards the woods, and decided to go and see how the woods were doing. If it was suitable, he would settle in the woods tonight.
I walked forward quickly and encountered a bush with thorns.
The area of the bush is about six to seven hundred square meters, so it is not difficult to pass directly.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead drew his weapon, cut down some bushes blocking the road, and moved forward, quickly passing through a place with bushes.
Not long after, he arrived at his destination. The forest in front of him was growing well. Birds chirped in his ears. The pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead heard it and went over. He soon discovered the few trees he had just seen.
A bird.
These birds are not big, only about the size of a fist.
At this moment, they were standing on the branches and jumping around, watching the uninvited guests warily.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said with a smile, "Don't be so afraid of me. I'm just staying here for one night and leaving tomorrow."
No one chatted during the journey. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was bored. Now that he had a chance to talk, even if the other person was a bird who couldn't understand human speech, he would still say a few words to the other person.
"twitter……"
The birds on the branches flapped their wings and flew a little further away. Looking at them like this, they were obviously wary of the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead, and felt that it would be safer to stay away.
"You are so timid."
"But only in this way can we survive in this harsh environment for a long time."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered a few words to himself, then withdrew his gaze and entered the sparse woods.
It is very likely that the wind will pick up at night, so it is better to find a place that is not easily affected by the wind.
After the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead entered the woods, he didn't go far before he found a very suitable place to spend the night.
A tall tree has lush branches and thick leaves, and its thick body requires several people to hold hands to hug it.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came under the tree and felt the flow of wind around him.
There are other trees around the big tree in front of me, but they are shorter. They form a windbreak wall, which can well block the sudden wind in the surroundings.
"That's it."
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, took off his backpack and placed it on the ground. Then he cleared away some taller weeds around him. Half of the sun in the sky disappeared, the light suddenly decreased a lot, and it became a little dim.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead tidied up the place where he spent the night, and then began to collect dry wood from the surrounding area.
The grove is full of life, but some dead trees can also be seen.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found it very easy to find dry wood here, and soon he found a small dead tree.
He raised his hand and punched out, and Xiaoshu was instantly interrupted at the waist. Then he dragged Xiaoshu back to the resting place and cut it into pieces of wood with three or two blows of the weapon.
After the fuel has been collected, the next step is to light the bonfire.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead lit the bonfire with ease, and the heat wave hit his face, making people feel very warm.
The sun will disappear completely soon, and now the temperature is dropping very fast, which can already make people feel cold. With a bonfire to keep warm, there is no need to worry about the cooling after the sun goes down.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stood up and left again, this time he wanted to find something to eat.
He was tired of eating dry food during the past few days of traveling. If he could find fresh ingredients, he was willing to spend some time.
Some distance away from the shelter, a special smell began to appear in the air.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had extensive experience in wild life. When he smelled the special smell wafting in the air, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked toward the source of the smell.
About three or four minutes later, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead found the source of the scent in front of a crooked-neck tree in the woods.
“I didn’t expect to find kidney beans here.”
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was full of surprises. The kidney beans in front of him were huge, each at least as big as an egg.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stepped forward to pick. After a while, he picked enough kidney beans to eat several meals.
At this moment, there was only the last trace of the sun left in the sky, and the earth became dark.
As for the woods where the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was, many places became pitch black because the sun was about to disappear, making it difficult to see even one's fingers.
"That's enough."
"It will get completely dark in a while, and I should go back."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead muttered twice, then returned to the place where he spent the night with a large pile of kidney beans in his arms.
The bonfire was swaying, making the surrounding area very warm.
A figure appeared in front of him. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was holding a pile of kidney beans and quickly came to the bottom of the tree.
He placed the picked kidney beans on the ground with a happy smile on his face.
Kidney beans are a very delicious ingredient and can be eaten directly by roasting them over fire.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up a branch, whittled it a few times, and then used the branch to pass through the kidney beans.
Five kidney beans were strung on a branch. The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, made five strings in total.
Twenty-five kidney beans, which are slightly larger than eggs, are enough to fill his stomach.
Beside the campfire, the kidney beans roasted by the heat wave of the flames began to emit an attractive fragrance.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead smelled the aroma of roasted kidney beans, swallowed, and waited patiently.
Although kidney beans are delicious, if eaten half-cooked, they can cause severe diarrhea.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead clearly remembered that when he ate the kidney beans for the first time, he ate them uncooked because he was too anxious, which caused him diarrhea for a long time.
This kind of memory is very profound and can be said to be unforgettable for a lifetime.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead recalled the past and waited patiently for the kidney beans to be roasted.
Unconsciously, the last remaining light of the sun completely disappeared.
At this time, the roasted kidney beans made by the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead were also cooked.
The fragrance wafting in the air is so strong that it makes people drool.
"It's time to eat."
“It’s been a while since I’ve had roasted kidney beans.”
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead picked up a bunch of roasted and fragrant roasted kidney beans, blew on them, and then took a bite.
The mellow bean fragrance blooms between the lips and teeth, and the wonderful taste makes people extremely happy.
After a satisfying meal, I feel that all the fatigue caused by today's rush has disappeared.
"belch."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead burped after eating and drinking. Then he lay on the ground and looked at the sky.
The sun has completely disappeared, and the sky and earth are shrouded in darkness.
The moon is not conspicuous tonight, and the dark curtain-like night sky is occupied by shining stars.
"It's a shooting star."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at the beautiful night sky and noticed a shooting star streaking across the sky.
Then, one meteor after another followed closely behind.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought it was just a meteor, but he didn't expect it to be a meteor shower.
The beautiful meteor shower is extremely eye-catching. Whether it is the pig-headed man captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead who spent the night here, or other creatures, they all raised their heads to look at the meteor shower appearing in the sky.
"roar……"
"Woo..."
"Gah..."
The appearance of the meteor shower caused a lot of noise, and various strange beast roars sounded from a distance.
The roars of beasts are intertwined and spread in the air, and can be heard clearly from far away.
The pig-headed man captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was settled in the woods. He was a little surprised when he heard the roars of beasts around him.
He had been in this area for a long time today, but he hadn't seen a single strange beast.
Hearing so many beast roars now reminded him to be wary of these hiding guys when he was resting at night.
