Xin Wu looked up at the starry sky and used the North Star to determine the direction. He thought to himself, now that he has just come out of the tree hole, there must be water in this area. He was walking along the water before, but now he doesn't know exactly where in the desert it is. Location, but this huge tree, should be able to give some advice.
So, Xin Wu carefully observed this tree: it was extremely tall, the upper and lower leaves had different shapes, and the posture of the branches was also strange. It seemed that it had fought monsters countless times in the air, constantly changing angles and positions. It looks like it is growing wantonly, but the direction in which these branches extend shows that the southwest wind prevails here all year round.
If so, coming from the southwest and being blown by strong winds, the terrain there must be lower and drier than where they are. Therefore, they must not go to the southwest. Then go in the opposite direction to leave such harsh conditions. The chances of living in an arid environment are greater, and the higher the terrain goes, the closer it is to the mountains, that is, closer to the water source. If there is water, there is a chance of survival. So, let’s head to the northeast!
"Baoshan, please go up the tree again. We need to bring some water on the way. Go up and look for a suitable tree nest or something. Make one that can hold water. Make as many as you can. Everyone should have some with them. I don’t know how long I have to walk before I hit the water."
"Okay, look at me."
Shi Baoshan climbed up nimbly again, selected a few particularly suitable bucket-sized hollow tree trunks from the intersection of several forked branches, threw them under the tree, and then shouted down:
"Hold it, I'll scoop the water down, and you can catch it!"
The empty tree trunk was thrown down, and Xinwu and the children selected the appropriate bark, and set up a formation toward the top, waiting for "artificial rainfall."
Hua la la la... One by one, everyone lined up to receive enough water and held it in their hands.
"Enough, enough! Come down, be careful, Baoshan." Xin Wu also prepared a bucket of tree water that Shi Baoshan could carry forward, placed it carefully on the sand, and then rushed up with concern. , looking at Shi Baoshan's figure, greeting.
"Everyone, grab the water. Now, before we find anything to eat, this is our fate. Thank you for your hard work! Follow me below, let's head northeast!"
Xinwu determined the direction of travel based on the North Star and began to continue the night walk with the children.
Sandbags in the night and a group of children each holding a bag of water, under the occasional moonlight, formed a very artistic scene.
The sand dunes are like solid waves that rise and fall in the sea and are shaped by the wind, making it difficult for the children to walk. Xinwu led everyone along the top ridge of the sand dunes, leaving a long trail of The small footprints were soon covered up by the new grains of sand blown up from below by the night wind, as if nothing had happened, maintaining the unique lonely beauty of the desert.
Standing taller will help you judge the direction of travel more accurately. Xin Wu took the lead and let Shibaoshan cut off the rear. The nine friends, sleepy and tired, walked hard in the desert at night. Walking on sand requires twice as much effort as on flat hard ground. Soon , some people couldn't stand it anymore, sat down, put the water next to them, and took a big breath.
"Xinwu, stop for a moment. Jinzo is very tired. Everyone, please take a rest and drink some water!"
At the end, Shi Baoshan could clearly find that someone in the team was acting differently.
"Okay, everyone, sit down and take a rest!"
After Xin Wu heard this, he turned around and motioned for everyone to sit down and wait for Jinzo.
"You didn't spill any water, did you?" Xinwu was very concerned about everyone's energy.
"No, I'm holding you firmly." Huo Dun responded.
"I accidentally spilled some," Ma Shenshen said. "I just accidentally spilled some before going up this slope, but it's not too much, so it's okay."
After checking everyone's supplies, Xin Wu finally felt relieved. What he was most worried about was that in the desert, this most important life resource must not be exhausted before finding a way out.
He couldn't sit down, so he stood at the highest point and looked around: from where he was standing, he still couldn't tell the bottom of his surroundings. Further away, where were the mountains and where was the sea of sand? It seemed that this was a place forgotten by the world. In this place, except for sand dunes, there are only sand dunes; not a single ugly tree can be seen.
In the sky, the Milky Way has unknowingly rotated 60 degrees, the starry sky is still bright, and the Big Dipper is still so reassuringly stuck in the sky, with no clouds coming to cover it.
"It's such a beautiful weather! It will be very sunny tomorrow when it gets bright. We can't stay here for too long. It's too dangerous. If it gets bright tomorrow and the sun comes out, we'll still be in the sand dunes and can't find the right place." Direction, or if there is a suitable habitat, the heat alone can kill us. Without a lid, the limited water will be evaporated by the sun before we can drink it. Hold on, everyone. We have to seize the cool time at night and walk more.”
Xinwu told all the children about his worries and encouraged everyone to keep moving forward.
"Yes, listen to brother Xinwu, let's go!" Huodun was the first to stand up and responded positively.
Duguse stood up, put his water under his left arm, then freed up one hand to pull Jin Zang beside him, and said, "You can do it, come on!"
Xiao Jinzang raised his head, opened his big eyes, nodded to Dugu Se, stood up with the help of his strength, then leaned down, took out the portion of water he had brought with him from the sand, and kept moving forward.
"Kinzo, you are the best!"
Huo Dun shouted words of praise and encouraged Jin Zang.
"Yes, you can do it! Come on!"
"come on!"
"We will definitely be able to get out!"
"Mom and dad are waiting for us!"
"We want to go home!"
…
After a short break, everyone regained some energy and began to look for their own spiritual strength to use as a slogan for moving forward, to encourage themselves and other friends.
"Xiao Niande, sing a song for us!"
After so many tests, Dial was no longer the shy kid. He also began to join the "hot-blooded" friends and became a member who took the initiative to take responsibility. So he suggested to his loud-voiced friend Yuchi Nian De sings to encourage everyone.
"Okay! Let me sing to you a song from our hometown: "The Devil Goes Away"
put it on
you are the devil
pick you off
you are human
curse it
you are the devil
praise it
you are human
fall in love with it
you are the devil
leave it
you are human
drink it
you are the devil
spit it out
you are human
ring it
you are the devil
smooth it out
you are human
go through it
you are the devil
stay away from it
You are the human being”
