"At least put me on clothes first" Staring at Baoyin to get dressed and covering the infinitely alluring chūn light, Wang Xian said pitifully. In fact, he is just a mouth cannon, although his fever has subsided, his whole body is still sore and weak, and he can't do anything at all.

Baoyin turned his head again, closed his eyes and put on his pants, Wang Xian smiled and said: "Once born, second mature, and third times are good friends, what is there to be ashamed of." ”

"Rogue" Baoyin twisted the root of his thigh fiercely, and Wang Xian, who was in pain, bared his teeth and cracked his mouth, "I thought you were dying last night, I was like that, don't think I'm that kind of person"

"What kind of person ......," Wang Xian asked in a low voice.

"Shut up" Baoyin's willow eyebrows are upside down.

"Come and see, sir." A moment later, Wu Wei came in, picked up Wang Xian and walked out, to the pit that he had dug to cool him down yesterday. Xu Huaiqing carefully held a horse skin and grinned: "My lord, look at it, what is it." ”

"Water" Wang Xian glanced at the horse's skin, only to see the dew rolling on it, converging into a clear spring, although it is not much, it is enough to ⊥ people to be surprised, "How did it come?" ”

"It was condensed according to the adult's method." Wu Wei said with a smile: "I dug this big hole with great effort last night, I want to be idle and idle, it's better to try again, I didn't expect it to be this time."

"What is the reason for this?" Xu Huaiqing asked eagerly, this is also a question that everyone wants to know.

Everyone looked at Wang Xian, Wang Xian pinched his chin and thought: "This method didn't work before, because the air is too much, but now it works, then the air must be wet." Then he asked the people, "Do you feel it?" "He has no five senses now, and he can only rely on others to judge.

After Wang Xianyi's reminder, everyone realized that the air was no longer the feeling of being hot and scorching, and breathing was indeed much more comfortable.

After getting an affirmative answer, Wang Xian smiled and said, "Either we are about to walk out of the grassland, or we will be close to the lake." ”

"It's impossible to get out of the rut." Xu Huaiqing, who replaced him as a guide, shook his head and said, "My subordinates made a map last night, and there is still half the way. ”

"That's the latter." Wang Xian smiled and patted Wu Wei's shoulder and said, "What are you waiting for, send someone to find it"

Wang Xian gave an order, and countless teams set off happily, different from the previous almost desperate search, this time they were full of hope, and they had endless energy

At noon, news came back that a team had discovered a lake more than ten miles to the southwest

The crowd was overjoyed, and the team immediately set off, ignoring the blazing blaze overhead, and followed the guide to the lake

When they arrived there, it was already past noon, and they saw a golden light shining in the distance from the west, and there was really a lake hidden in the vast black and white Gobi

The crowd immediately boiled, and both men and women, Meng Han, threw away all their burdens, and ran to the lake with joy, only to see that the blue water of the lake was crystal clear, like a sapphire with silver edges, embedded in the desolate Gobi. The Mongols began to kneel down to thank the Immortal Heaven, and the Han people rushed into the lake desperately, about to plunge into it and drink a good drink

"Don't drink" The Mongols who found the lake hurriedly stopped it loudly in broken Chinese, and then said a whoa, whoa, whoa.

But at this time, even the gods could not stop them from drinking water to quench their thirst, and the soldiers drank bitterly, but the next moment they all vomited, vomiting and coughing, and scolded: "How bitter and salty."

"nǎinǎi, isn't this a play person, it's easy to find a lake, but you can't drink it" Xu Huaiqing scolded.

"That's for sure." Wang Xian smiled and said: "Look at the thick layer of white sè by the lake, it is the salt alkali after the lake water evaporates, the water in the lake must be salty and bitter, not only can not quench thirst, but will make people dehydrated."

"Isn't this the same saltwater lake we saw in the Hanhai Corridor?" Wu Wei frowned and said, "Didn't my lord say that there is a way for the saltwater lake?" ”

"Of course." Wang Xian leaned on the carriage and said with a smug smile: "Otherwise, I dare to take you into this Gobi of Death?" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but slander, the adults didn't change at all, and sure enough, the sun was shining brightly, and they would get scared at every opportunity

Under Wang Xian's command, the crowd dug out several sand pits with a diameter of five feet and a depth of three feet, and a piece of oilcloth was erected on top of each sandpit, and a small stone was placed in the middle of the oilcloth to make the oilcloth take on an inverted cone. A small jar was placed directly under the tarpaulin, and it was rushing towards the inverted cone.

Although he was skeptical of Wang Xian's method, his desire for fresh water made everyone full of energy, and they dug hundreds of such pits in one go, and then looked at Wang Xian.

"Let's do this tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Wang Xian saw that it was already dark, so he ordered the work to be called a day. The second monk of the crowd was at a loss, but Wang Xian was merciful tonight and allowed double drinking water, which made everyone very encouraged, and being able to drink more water was secondary, mainly because it showed that the situation was very optimistic

Everyone camped and rested, but most of them had insomnia that night, and they got up early the next morning and urged Wang Xian to hurry up.

Wang Xian smiled: "Actually, there is already a harvest." So he asked people to bring up the horse skins that had been placed at the bottom of the pit at night, and hundreds of horse skins were collected to fill a jar of clear water, and he couldn't help but say triumphantly: "How is it, amazing?"

Everyone sweated, and laughed and said: "It's amazing, it's amazing, but it's too little, and one person can't tell it." ”

"It's better than nothing." Wang Xian took a sip of clear cold water and praised: "This water should only be in the sky, how many times can I taste it in the world?" ”

"......" Everyone was completely speechless, and said in their hearts that such an adult must have burned his brain and become so unreliable

Wu Wei is this kind of person who understands Wang Xian, but he puts his heart in his stomach, and they know that there is only one reason why Wang Daguan is superficial, and that is to win

Under the urging of everyone, Wang Xian only said that he was not in a hurry, and everyone urged again and again, until the sun rose, he smiled and ordered: "Open your mouth and release water"

The edge of the lake was dug up, and the water was poured into the bunkers along the waterways that had been dug last night. Wang Xian saw that there was no problem, so he stretched his waist and said, "I'm so sleepy, go back to sleep." ”

"My lord, what more do you want?" The crowd asked.

"Wait, I'll see it in two hours." Wang Xian yawned and smiled at Baoyin: "Let's go back to sleep, daughter-in-law." ”

Bao Yin glared at him fiercely, thinking that he was talking nonsense again.

Wang Xian really went back to the tent and fell asleep, and as soon as his head was taped to the felt, he fell asleep. During this time, he was so stressed that he was so nervous that he barely slept a single night. Now he finally reached the lake, although it was a saline lake, but he had a way to conjure up fresh water. I put down a big stone in my heart, and I can finally sleep peacefully.

was sleeping darkly, he was suddenly shaken up, and when he opened his sleepy eyes, he saw Wu Weiji smiling from ear to ear, unable to say anything excitedly, and giving him a thumbs up.

"Got water?" Wang Xian asked lazily.

"There is" Everyone nodded vigorously, presented a jar of clear water to him, and said incredulously: "There is water in this jar itself, and there is no strange smell at all, it is water that can be drunk."

"Of course." Wang Xian smiled proudly: "I don't look at who I am" said and waved his hand: "Go out of the gang, go out of the gang, Lao Tzu hasn't slept enough." ”

"You sleep, you sleep." Everyone now worships him as a god and leaves quickly, so as not to affect Wang Banxian's rest

At dusk, Wang Xian finally slept enough, climbed out of the tent, kicked his legs with his arms deeply, felt the strength he had lost for a long time return to his body, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and smiled at Bao Yin, who was preparing dinner for himself outside: "Bao Yin, we will go to the cave room tonight"

"Dead" Baoyin was numb from the teasing of this stinky hooligan, and snorted: "The cave room has passed, and there is no chance."

"Wasn't I unprepared?" Wang Xian leaned over and wrapped his arms around her slender waist, Baoyin struggled, couldn't break free, and twisted him hard. Wang Xian hurriedly shook his hand and let go of her, and said with a wry smile: "You belong to a scorpion."

"Yes, if you dare to scare me, I will sting you." Baoyin giggled, pushed the bowl into his hand, and said with a blank look: "Eat, everyone is still waiting for you by the lake." ”

Wang Xiansan ate a bowl of victory noodles in two bites, wiped his mouth, and went to pull Baoyin's little hand and said: "I can still hold hands ...... before."

Bao Yin looked at his pitiful appearance, angry and funny, "Are you a donkey?" "Sure enough, it's a xìng who never wants to suffer.

"Yes, that's how I don't leave, I go backwards." Wang Xian smiled and took her little hand, Baoyin didn't struggle this time, but held it tightly with him.

The two held hands and came to the lake, and saw that it was really lively, almost everyone was here, some people sang and danced by the lake, some people swam in the lake, and there was a lot of joy up and down, how could there be half a point of despair before?

Water is the source of life, this sentence is not false at all.

"Strategist, each bunker can collect half a jar of water a day." Xu Huaiqing reported excitedly: "One hundred sand pits is fifty jars of water, which is enough for all of us to use water for a day."

"Hmm." Wang Xian nodded and said, "Dig a few hundred more pits, and if the water altar is not enough, you will use water bladders." ”

"yes." Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "I have finished with Xiao Wu, and I am about to ask the adults, we are going to let everyone have a pit, so that we can save enough water on the road in a few days."

"Okay." Wang Xian smiled and said, "You can just have a heart, I'm still a patient." ”

"yes." Xu Huaiqing laughed twice, and said in his heart that you finally have a chance to be lazy. Then he asked curiously, "My lord, where did this water come from?" ”

"You don't understand, but let's talk about it." Wang Xian proudly said: "Actually, the reason why this lake water can't be drunk is because there are things like salt in the water, and if you can separate the water from the salt, you can naturally drink it." ”

"Then how do you separate?" Xu Huaiqing's eyes widened and said, "If the salt is in the water, you can't see it." ”

"It's simple. Water turns into ice when it's cold, and steam when it's hot. Salt is soluble in water, but not in steam. Wang Xian smiled: "As long as you turn the water into steam, and then you can collect the steam." He sighed and said: "Its practical pot is the easiest to cook, but the salt and alkali of this lake are too heavy, and the plants and trees do not grow." There is no firewood to boil water, so we can only rely on the sun."
