Fu Anan ate in the room and took a shower. When she finished all this, it was still daylight outside.
Although there is no clock here, one can still feel the passage of time through perception and daily experience.
Since she came back, Fu Anan felt that it was evening and getting dark. However, the weather was still like four or five o'clock in the summer.
But Fu Anan was sure that it was definitely past four or five o'clock now.
The Gobi Desert has too long sunshine hours.
This made Fu Anan suddenly think of the name of this round of game - The City Where the Sun Never Sets.
The name of the game is sometimes a hint. Judging from the literal meaning, it wouldn’t be eternal daylight, right
Thinking of this, she ran out and called the woman who was eating, "Boss, will the sun set here?"
“Why does the sun set?”
The boss's emotionless voice gave Fu Anan a shock, and he felt that he had discovered an important clue to this round of the game.
“Doesn’t the sun rise from Pangtong in the east and then set in the vast desert in the west?”
oh.
The next sentence immediately made her realize that she had misunderstood.
There are no mountains in the desert, so the sun sets here.
"So what time is it now? How do you calculate time here?"
"We get up to work when it's light and go home to sleep when it's dark. We don't use timekeeping here."
The boss said, stirring the food in his bowl impatiently with a wooden spoon, "Are you done asking? I want to eat."
Fu Anan glanced at the yellow paste in her bowl, with some dried unknown meat strips beside it, "Eat slowly."
Although it was still bright outside, the light inside the house was dim, just the right temperature for sleeping. Fu Anan locked the doors and windows, got dressed and went to bed, spending the first night in the Gobi Desert.
Day 2 of the game
Fu Anan was woken up by the sound of people talking outside.
She sat up, ate two steamed buns with water, and then went out to buy supplies. If she prepared everything early, she would have enough time to find Fu Yizhi.
She first went to buy some mugalang, the same thing she saw the boss eating yesterday.
It looked like a stick, but it was actually something similar to cassava. It had a very high starch content and was quite filling. It was also cheap, so she spent a grain of gold to buy a large amount.
According to the boss's introduction, you can eat it directly after boiling it in a pot. If you want it to taste better, grind it into powder first and then cook it.
After we got the carbohydrates, the next thing was the meat. Salt was more expensive than gold in the Gobi Desert, and the weather was extremely hot. It was very uncomfortable to buy meat in a place full of flies.
The most important thing is to carefully check whether the meat is fresh and smell it to see if it has become smelly. Some meat is not only smelly, but also has maggots growing on it, which is so disgusting and uncomfortable.
Fu Anan spent a lot of effort to select some clean and fresh ones. A whole rib and hind leg of a cow; a piece of animal meat that looked like a big lizard; and a piece of gray rabbit meat. These used three golden beans in total.
Another thing is water.
This is a small desert with only one underground water source. Yesterday she was busy going home so she chose a bucket, but today she must go down to fetch water herself.
Can a bucket hold as much as she has space for
Fu Anan prepared to collect enough water for thirty days at a time.
