The starry sky in the desert was resplendent, and waves of cold wind blew. Fatty could not help but tighten his clothes and shrink his neck to continue sleeping. A soft sigh came.
Wu Liang turned his head and saw that it was Old Hu.
"Old Hu, is there something bothering you?”
Old Hu handed over a cigarette, lit it up, and said,"We haven't even reached the truly dangerous place, but so many things have already happened. There have been a few dangerous situations. These people's health is really worrying.”
"In the future, we'll do it ourselves. We've been worrying too much along the way. Now that Xiao Sa has a fever, it's hard to explain.”
"It's all because you two brothers agreed without permission," Wu Liang said. If it were up to me, I would have at least negotiated some conditions. Even if the archeological team insisted on coming, it would be good to lose a few members. At least I wouldn't have to take care of so many people.”
Old Hu smiled." Thinking about these days, it feels very exciting, but also a little unreal. Ever since I went to the sentry camp, I feel that everything is different."”
"Isn't it good to be like this now?"
"Of course it's good. After passing through the Kunlun Glacier this time, I've finally let go of the guilt in my heart. I'm living a very relaxed life.”
Wu Liang patted Old Hu's shoulder and said with a smile,""I heard from Fatty that you used to sleep with your eyes open. He said that you had too many things hidden in your heart and had closed your eyes when you slept these few days.”
"Thank you, brother." Old Hu smiled.”
"You're welcome, brother." Wu Liang smiled.”
"Don't just look at Fatty laughing and laughing all day. He's always been worried about you. Now that he sees you like this, he's happy from the bottom of his heart.”
"That's not right. Even if you're brothers, your relationship might not be as deep as yours.”
"You're also our blood brother, our brother through life and death." Living alone in the world must be very lonely. Now you have brothers and a wife, so if you encounter danger, don't take your life seriously!”
Which eye of yours saw playing with your life?
Wu Liang smiled and walked into the sleeping bag.
"You've finished smoking, so rest early. "After we go back this time, we should have a lot of money. When the time comes, we'll let Shirley Yang set up a company and let the families of those comrades work in the factory. After all, it's not a long-term matter to give money.”
"They might not accept it if you keep giving them money. Some of the people who accept it might develop laziness and get used to getting something for nothing. It might not be a good thing.”
"Most importantly, don't think of yourself as God. When it comes to life and death, it's most important for the four of us to stay alive. If they can save us, then so be it.”
"Don't be like last time. They saved you, but you almost died in the ant colony.”
"You're so young," Old Hu said with a smile,"you can pat your old woman." Thinking too much will make you old quickly!"
The next morning, her eyes were bright.
"Brother Hu, it's not good. Sa Dipeng has a fever. He hasn't woken up since this morning.”
Everyone quickly gathered together to discuss.
" Then tie him to the camel," Old Hu said." We can't afford to delay. At the very least, we have to find the ancient well before we make any plans."”
"Whether we choose to go back or continue, we have to find the ancient well to replenish our water source first. Otherwise, we will run out of water and die.”
" Xiao Sa's condition," Professor Chen said." It's a bumpy journey. I'm worried that his body can't take it."”
"There's nothing we can do about it," said Wu Liang. I've already told you about the harshness of the desert. If you're not prepared to die, don't enter the desert.”
"The road ahead will be even more dangerous. Who knows how many accidents will happen. No matter what, he had to find the ancient well first.”
"If he really couldn't take it and died on the road, it would be his fate. These words are not nice to hear, but you have to listen.”
"If you are willing to stay and wait for death, I have no objections.”
"After finding the ancient well, whoever doesn't have the courage to face death should return home as soon as possible.”
Everyone knew that they had no other choice. They had no choice but to continue moving forward. They couldn't stay and wait for death because of one person, right?
Along the way, everyone took turns taking care of Xiao Sa. At noon, Xiao Sa woke up for a while, ate something, took some medicine, and then continued to sleep soundly.
It was late at night, and the weather turned cold. Xiao Sa woke up and looked a little more energetic.
"Old Master, we only have enough water for one day. Where's the ancient well?" Wu Liang asked.”
An Liman was silent for a moment before he said," I remember that it's in this direction. It won't deviate too much. The ancient well must be nearby, but I can't recognize it now. The black sandstorm has caused some sand dunes to move, so it's not easy for me to recognize it!"”
Wu Liang didn't want to talk anymore. He didn't want to force An Liman because An Liman also wanted to find the ancient well. He had no reason to harm these people.
If they couldn't hold on, these camels would be the first to bear the brunt. An Liman knew this very well.
"Old man, if we can't find it by tomorrow, we'll run out of water and have to kill the camels."”
"I can't. The camel is my life. You can't hurt the camel!”
When he heard that they were going to kill the camel, An Liman immediately became anxious. His life was saved by the camel, so the camel was his life.
"Old Master, can you confirm the approximate range? For example, within a radius of 50 miles, or even further?" Wu Liang asked.”
An Liman thought carefully and said,"I only remember that it's nearby. It's definitely within 30 miles. I can't say in which direction exactly.”
"Old man, are you playing with us?"
"Fatty, it's useless even if you force him!"
"Since you say so, Old Master, I'll believe you."”
After saying that, Wu Liang began to eat. Then, he gulped down a large mouthful of water and put down some water.
"Little Wu, what are you doing?" Old Hu asked.”
"I'll search for it alone within a radius of thirty miles," said Wu Liang. Every hour, fire a signal flare to let me confirm the direction and distance.”
Fatty said anxiously," Absolutely not. It's too dangerous. You only brought a pot of water. What if you get lost? What if you encounter quicksand? I definitely don't agree."”
"Fatty's right," said Old Hu."This is absolutely impossible. I'll go with you."”
"Old Hu, you have good stamina, but you can't keep up with my pace. It's not difficult for me." If I wasn't worried about running into sand wolves, I wouldn't even want to bring this saber with me. It would be a burden if I brought too much.”
Xue Li Yang said," Our water source can last for another day. We are not at the end of our rope. You don't have to take the risk."”
" Let's move as a group," Wu Liang said." We'll at most search in a small area nearby. If we can't find it tomorrow, we'll really be at the end of our rope when the water runs out."”
"I can ignore the others, but I can't watch you all be in danger.”
"Old Hu and Fatty are my brothers, and you're my wife. It's just a little tiring for me to go alone, but it won't be dangerous.”
"My footsteps are light, so I'll be fine even if I run into quicksand.”
"There's only a day's supply of water left. From now on, other than those who need to send the signal flare, the rest of you are not allowed to move.”
"There's no consumption, so you should be able to hold on for a little longer. When I find the ancient well, I'll fire three signal flares.”
"Must we go?" Xue Li Yang asked.
"Do you have another way?" Wu Liang asked. Even if I really kill camels, it would be difficult for you to survive. I might be able to walk out of the desert with just my feet, but to you, it's undoubtedly a fool's dream.”
"And the camel is the life of the old man. If you really kill the camel, do you think the old man will be indifferent?”
"If you really anger the old master and don't lead the way for everyone, we might all die together. Which of you knows the way back?”
"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."”
Wu Liang smiled." Don't worry. I won't be in danger. It's a small matter. Wait for my good news."”
Looking at Wu Liang's receding figure, Fatty swept his gaze across the crowd and shouted,""What the f * ck is this!"
"It's been hard on Comrade Little Wu." Professor Hao sighed.”
"Shut up," Fatty said disdainfully. You can save some water if you don't talk nonsense. I get angry just by looking at you pretending. If you're really sensible, why didn't you listen to what you said earlier? Now that you're satisfied, I can't be bothered to scold you for making Xiao Sa half dead.”
Late at night, everyone was a little anxious. Wu Liang looked at the signal flare and continued to move forward, silently calculating the distance.
Half an hour later, Wu Liang changed his direction again.
An hour later, Wu Liang continued to change directions.
At dawn, three signal flares shot into the sky, as if they were going to light up the night.
Xue Li Yang shouted," Don't rest anymore. We'll set off immediately. Wu Liang has found the ancient well about fifteen miles southeast."”
