Chapter 96 Findings in the heat wave
The four of us gritted our teeth and crossed a sand beam, and suddenly saw that the mudstone was not far ahead of us.
Meng Chao raised his hand and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. His throat moved with pain and he walked down eagerly, but his staggering steps were unstable at all, and he fell down the sand slope and rolled down.
Wu Zhijun next to Meng Chao hurriedly reached out to pull him when he saw him falling down, but he couldn't stand steadily and followed Meng Chao all the way.
I was not much better than them when I followed me. I stumbled under my feet, rolled and crawled all the way to the bottom of Shaliang.
As soon as I stood up, something suddenly hit me in the back. As soon as I was about to turn around, I felt a hand on my shoulder, and a warm current gasping in my ears.
I turned my head and looked at it. Su Man also frowned and forced herself to make her energetic. She put one hand on my shoulder to avoid falling down. She said weakly: "It's finally here!"
I nodded and looked forward. Only then did I notice that this piece of mudstone is large in number and covers a large area. Although I cannot see the whole picture, I roughly estimate that the mudstone here is several times larger than the one we used to hide from wind and sand, and each piece of rock raised on the ground is taller.
I held Su Man beside me and walked towards the shade of Mudstone. When I turned around, I saw that Wu Zhijun was standing up and looking straight at Su Man on my shoulder, with some jealousy and envy in his eyes.
I know what this kid is thinking, and I really want to suck him with a big mouth. When is it now, I still have this kind of thing in my mind. But at this moment, I don’t bother with him. I tilted my head to him, "What are you doing when you stand there? Help Meng Chao up and leave!"
"Oh," he seemed to come back to his senses after hearing my words, "Oh! I understand!"
Wu Zhijun reached out and pulled Meng Chao up, and the four of us staggered to the bottom of some tall mudstones. Each of us found a place of shade and rushed over impatiently.
I sat on the ground. Although the shaded sand was still very hot, it was much better than the sunlight. I leaned against the mudstone, and the shade of the rock was relatively cooler. The coolness was transmitted to me through my clothes. This feeling was like a person wearing a fire jumping into the water all of a sudden.
I close my eyes
I sat here with my eyes leaning against me, not wanting to move. After a while, the burning feeling on my body gradually faded, but the intense thirst still made me extremely painful.
I opened my eyes and looked at the others. Meng Chao was almost half lying on the ground and looked a little painful. Su Man still sat there with his eyes closed. Wu Zhijun, who was not far away, had better energy than I thought. At this time, he was looking at Su Man. Due to the heat, Su Man took off his coat and exposed a black suspender vest inside. Wu Zhijun's eyes fell on her ups and downs.
I pretended to cough inadvertently, and Wu Zhijun hurriedly withdrew his gaze when he heard the sound.
I looked up at the still-blazing sunshine in the sky, thinking in my mind that the only way to do this is to hide from the sun until the sun sets, and we will take action after the temperature drops. However, it is urgent, it would be great if we can find some water.
After this time of rest, I felt that my physical strength had recovered, probably due to the exercise I had experienced several times before.
I stood up and looked around, looking for a higher mudstone that could be climbed, checking the surrounding terrain, and if I had good luck, I might find a source of water.
When Suman heard the movement, he opened his eyes and asked me, "What are you going to do?"
"Go and take a look around." I replied to her, and walked around the mudstone behind me and walked to the side.
As soon as I walked out of the shade, the heat waves immediately swept across my body. I felt that my skin, which had just felt more comfortable, was instantly burned by fire.
I didn't dare to hesitate and quickly walked towards the depths of the mudstone, because I saw a large piece of rock about two stories high standing there in a relatively low position. The visibility is pretty good now, and standing on it should be possible to see a considerable range of situations around.
The fiery redness on the surrounding mudstone makes them look like burning stoves. This situation makes the roasting feeling that has been spread all over the body stronger.
I tried my best to travel through the shade of the rock, and soon I reached the bottom of the rock. I looked up at it and found that all the convenient climbing positions were facing the sun. At this time, the smooth surface was already drying like a pan on a gas stove. My sweat was lowered on it, and the sweat had no time to roll, so it evaporated in bubbles.
Falled.
I frowned and had to wrap my hands with my clothes on my body. I carefully climbed up along the incline of the rock.
Standing at the top, I raised my hand to block the sunlight above my head and looked around.
At first, I only saw endless yellow sand and the large areas of fiery red mudstone around me. I could occasionally see some withered vegetation among the rocks. I really don’t know how they grew in such an extremely harsh climate. I couldn’t help but sigh at the tenacity of these plants’ vitality. However, even if they were tenacious, they eventually died in this hot sunshine.
It seems that if there is no better choice, I can only try my luck below this vegetation later. Maybe I can find some hidden water sources below.
While I was thinking, I changed direction and looked towards the deepest part of the mudstone. Suddenly, I found that the terrain of this mudstone had changed a lot, and there seemed to be a huge depression in the center of it. In fact, it was not too strange that the terrain in the desert was rising and falling. However, what made my heart tremble was that I seemed to see a corner of the roof in the middle of the depression through the gap in this mudstone.
Is there a house there?
Due to the angle, I couldn't see the full picture inside, so I stood on tiptoe and stretched my neck to look in that direction.
Unexpectedly, I only cared about the front of me, but forgot my feet. If I accidentally got empty, my feet were empty. I had no time to react, and I slid down the incline of the rock.
The surface of this mudstone is very smooth, and my hands can't find any place to borrow force.
My body rolled on the surface of the scorching rock, and I felt like a pie, flipping around in an iron pot, and I couldn't tell where I was hurt and where I was burned.
I screamed and fell heavily on the ground. Fortunately, the sand below was soft enough and it was not too hot on the shade of the rock. I lay on the sand and didn't recover for a long time.
I angrily scolded myself for being lucky. I always encountered such a tragic incident. What's even worse is that I don't have a second uncle, no Lantern Festival, and no Wenmo around me. There was only a female driver and two college students who had just left school.
But suddenly a thought flashed out in my mind, was this encounter really just a coincidence?
