The night passed in a hurry.
Zhang Xiaobao fell asleep peacefully, but the son over there had a dream all night. He dreamed of occupying the land of Zhang Wang's family and his family, and drove away the family's family. He woke up several times in his dreams with laughter.
Li Xun woke up early in the morning with a backpack on his body. He didn't know what to put in it. He only put a blanket and a few silk kerchiefs. The other things were hard to remember. They were on the grass. He thinks it can't be used in the desert. After all, there are not so many insects in the desert, let alone wild vegetables.
What he wants to figure out most now is what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan both brought. They were able to ask yesterday, but they were so angry that they forgot about it. Now it’s hard to ask them directly. Keep following behind and take a good look at how the two of them do it.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan changed their shoes today. The original wooden-soled shoes and leather-soled shoes were not used. They were specially made some rag-soled shoes and used them at the bottom. Some small bumps were glued to the fish glue, and the backpack for each person remained unchanged, with a hat on his head and long-sleeved clothes.
At the same time, I also brought some saltpeter with the highest purity here, and some salt. Other food was not loaded, and it would be turned out if it was loaded.
After waiting for some inspection, a few people who wanted to bring something to eat were warned once, and the things were left behind, and the team walked into the desert mightily.
Some have left, and some have newly joined. The total number of people is not less, but more than ten. The young people are relatively few, only forty-five.
As soon as more than 140 children entered the desert, more than fifty people rushed out. Not one of the other eighty people ran so madly, and they turned their eyes on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan almost at the same time.
"Cuckoo, it seems that they have learned to be smart, not as stupid as they were on the grassland." Zhang Xiaobao felt the eyes around him, smiled, and said to Wang Juan.
"Well, these people must be the part of the grassland back then. It seems that we have been targeted. Let's go. The next place with water is three miles away. Tie the rope."
Wang Juan glanced at those people, and while talking, he took out a rope, and he and Zhang Xiaobao were tied to their waists. One was to prevent quicksand, even if Li Xun would send someone to check here, they too. It is necessary to make sufficient preparations. The problem of habit. The other is when climbing the sand pile.
The two walked forward again one by one, and tried to keep their heels off the ground slightly, their legs were slightly bent, their bodies leaned forward, and they took out a retractable stick from their backpacks and squeezed forward.
People like Li Xun didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to be so prepared. Now they can't let people bring things over. They have to follow behind. When they are wondering one by one, they don't need to use a stick to walk straight away, and the rope is unnecessary.
Except for the children of Lijiazhuangzi, the rest are rich people. The refined little leather boots are soft and comfortable when they step on the sand. Lijiazhuangzi’s children are also affected by Li. Xun put on leather boots, but they weren't that exquisite. As for the clothes, it was naturally the clothes making.
When everyone was following along, they glanced at Zhang Xiaobao's backpacks from time to time, hoping that the two of them could take the things out early. For those children who were in the lead, they didn't care if they were left behind.
The adults of the new children's family didn't know the situation. When they saw the children running to the front, just like those parents on the grassland, they began to tout each other there.
Parents who have experienced things in the grassland have long since ceased this kind of thinking. Hearing what others said, and recalling how they were back then, they can only lament that they are too short-sighted.
The desert is not big, but there is no shortage of sand dunes. Some exist alone there, and some are connected together. If you want to go around, you have to walk a long way. The children chose to climb directly, no one else. Willing to go far.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s shoes showed their advantages. Even if the small bumps under the shoes could not hold the ground firmly, they would not slide down like other people. The stick has played a big role. It is inserted into the sand, and with a little bit of force, it can keep the body from leaning back, even if the foot slides once, it will not delay things.
"Li Cheng, did you see it? It turned out to be used like this." Li Xun said to the person following him after seeing it from behind. After speaking, he realized that the person was not Li Cheng, but someone who did the same. , Called Li Xing.
Li Xing would not be so stupid to correct Xiaohou's name, and said next to him: "My son, and their shoes, you look carefully, they are different from what we wear, there are some small bumps underneath, smart, waiting for tomorrow Is also ready, I don’t know this time."
"Okay, learn more. Look at the kid over there. It's the one in the Zhuangzi house next to us and Zhang Wang. What is the name? It seems that there is also a casual official who is from the fifth grade. It's too small."
Li Xun nodded. After seeing the person pretending to be stupid, he was afraid that he would mess with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. After all, that person is a little older. In case there is any danger, even if he cleans up that person, Zhang Xiaobao and two Not happy to quit, where would he go to learn how to survive in the wild in the desert
Li Xing also spotted the man, keeping his eyes on Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in front of him, and said, "I know the son, that is from the Han family, and his name is Han Yongyao."
"Huh, Yong Yao? Just don't want to show off like this. When you return to Zhuangzi, there will be a lively watch. The two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang's family are not comparable to other Zhuangzi, and the people in the town are not so powerful. How far can I get to where there is water?"
Li Xun looked down on the man in his heart, and sneered, feeling that today's sunshine is extraordinarily strong. He licked his lower lip with his tongue, looked up at the road ahead that seemed to never go to an end, and asked.
"It's fast, you can go this far. Today at noon, I still don’t give you food as it was last time. I don’t know how many people will not be able to persist. The desert is no better than the grassland." Li Xing replied and walked on. Behind, take a look at that Han Yongyao from time to time.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked in front, not fast. When there is no water to replenish, the two of them don't want to consume too much energy, and wait until the water is installed.
The fifty-odd children seemed to be unaware that they were tired, and they were still running desperately there. Some children even slipped down and ran up on purpose when they were going up the sand dunes.
"Xiaobao, do you think there will be a scorpion coming out here? There are snakes or something? Then there will be something to eat at noon."
After Wang Juan climbed to a slightly higher sand dune, he stood there and looked down and asked.
"I don't think it will be. Li Xun must have sent someone to search for it several times. I encountered snakes in the sand. Most of them are poisonous. Could he let people be bitten? Or should I go first?"
Zhang Xiaobao stood beside Wang Juan, watching the road below and talking.
"Let’s go together, take things out." Wang Juan replied, and Zhang Xiaobao opened the backpack and took out a few wooden boards that were slightly narrower and shorter than the backpack. One end was slightly tilted and placed on the ground. Two people Sit up, adjust the position, and when they supported the wooden stick in their hands, the two quickly slid down.
Li Xun and the others also went up the slope, saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s things, they were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the two people who were about to get below, but they had no choice but to run down. This time it took a lot of effort. , Some people can't control it, and they will go to the bottom of their heads.
Without waiting for Li Xun to speak, Li Xing said next to him: "My son, I understand, I must make this tomorrow too. Don't watch the children in front of them play, wait for them to continue walking, they will have nothing. Strength, something like this can save a lot of strength."
"Well, it really is a bit of a genius. Looking at the appearance of the two of them, it seems that they are not very tired. Maybe they will be allowed to arrive first today. Okay, I have learned another hand. I will encounter this kind of thing in the future. Prepare early."
Li Xun came down and sighed when he took off his boots and poured sand out. He really admired the man who prepared the things for the two children. Don’t look at any small things. When you really walk in the desert, you might be able to decide. The life and death of a person.
The other people took note of this thing and decided to use it tomorrow. Only Han Yongyao was not so clear. He was thinking about the trouble with Zhang Xiaobao. It is a pity that maybe his family’s food is better, and he is a little blessed. Frozen did not catch up, could only follow behind panting.
The adults behind them are also uncomfortable. Seeing the children there are climbing and dying, it is very distressing. Those parents who come to the grassland do not need to worry about their children, they have already remembered Zhang Xiaobao and Wang. The tools used by the two people.
They sighed again in their hearts, looking at the tacit understanding of the two little guys, they felt that if they were their own children, they would definitely hold them in their arms and love them. They were too sensible and too strong. I have never seen them cry tired, let alone see them crying sadly.
I can’t help but envy the family of the two people, and I don’t know how they taught, how do they think these two little guys are like adults, except for these, they are also cute and chubby, and they show two dimples when they smile. , A pair of eyes can talk.
Zhang Xiaobao and Zhang Xiaobao didn't know that someone else wanted to take them as their own, so they went down the slope, installed the planks, and continued to move forward step by step, and in a while, they would reach the place to provide water.
