Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 11

I frowned in dissatisfaction, and glanced at the sand in my hand again. It was clearly the same as what was said in the books I read when I was a child.

I couldn't help but glanced at Lao Yan to see what he could say.

"The underground river under the sand is indeed very deep, but you have overlooked one point! According to Feng Shui, there is an underground river at the place where the sand gathers, and the underground river is as deep as 100 meters. , there is an oasis to the east of the dark river." Lao Yan stroked his stubble with a smile, and his tone was full of guidance from the elders to the younger ones.

I frowned, I had indeed only heard the previous sentence, but looking at Lao Yan's appearance, it was obvious that this sentence was not made up by him.

Then Lao Yan looked at the compass and confirmed that Dongfang took us there.

I couldn't bear to lose face, and walked behind me in a dull manner without speaking. Hawkeye grabbed my shoulders and said carelessly: "How old are you, kid? Isn't it surprising that Lao Yan has seen more worlds than you at that age?" , you are already good, it seems that we don't even know about the dark river."

"Thank you." I replied sullenly, and Hawkeye patted my shoulder and said that since you have met an expert, you should study hard, and you can't be too fussy about this person.

Although it sounded a bit uncomfortable when he said that, it made my eyes light up.

Yes, I know a lot, but most of them are only on paper. I have been figuring it out on my own these years without much practical experience. Why not take this opportunity to learn more from Lao Yan?

After figuring this out, I immediately rushed forward a few steps, walked up to Lao Yan and asked him respectfully, why did Li Sha get involved with Oasis?
Lao Yan was smoking an unlit cigarette, obviously satisfied with my initiative to ask.

He patiently explained that there are many dark rivers in the desert, but few Lisha. This means that although the dark rivers are deep, they are very close to the water source, otherwise Lisha would not be formed.

Seeing that I was still puzzled, he smiled and pointed to the sand under his feet and said, "Actually, it's a desert. You have to dig deep into the ground. No matter what other reasons are impossible, there is always a depth where you can dig water." Yes, but why don't there be Lisha everywhere?"

I thought about it and asked him, is it because the dark river under Lisha is actually connected to the oasis?

In other words, the oasis is nearby, which has an impact on this area?

"Not bad, really smart." Lao Yan patted me on the shoulder, and I scratched my head in embarrassment, and then felt that my attitude towards him these two days was a bit disrespectful.

Lao Yan didn't bother with me, but said that it's a good thing for young people to be aggressive, not to mention that I'm still willing to learn. He praised me so much that I was even more embarrassed, so I smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

After following Lao Yan for about five miles, after turning over a high slope, an oasis suddenly appeared in front of everyone!

Although the scale of this oasis is small, it is enough for us to replenish fresh water for the next few days. Everyone cheered and ran over, but Lao Yan waved his hand, took out a telescope from his bag and studied it for a long time before walking down the slope first.

With the argument between the two of us just now, everyone is very convinced of him, so they all follow him.

Lao Yan chose a place, and everyone washed their faces first, drank a lot of water, and then took out the kettle to fill it up.

"What's this?" Hawkeye suddenly called out, and we hurriedly looked over and saw him digging out something with a dagger.

It's a can that hasn't rusted yet.

The canned box was sunken under a grass root, and it was also packaged in green, with only a circle exposed. If it weren't for eagle eyes, we probably wouldn't have noticed it.

Lao Yan took the can in his hand and weighed it, saying that it was indeed a supply for Professor Yu and his party back then, and this brand was only available in Beijing. It seemed that Yu Chengze and the others had indeed passed through this oasis.

"Finally, I didn't go in the wrong direction..." Company Commander Chen exhaled.

If you find the wrong direction in the desert, going back and forth is no better than running with a truck.

But I found it strange, and squatted down near the grass root where Hawkeye dug out the canning box and dug.

"What's wrong with you kid?"

Company Commander Chen patted me, and I wondered, since Professor Yu and the others are a team, why did they leave only one tin can when they arrived at the oasis?

Everyone was silent, even Lao Yan frowned, and finally mobilized everyone to search around, but this was indeed the only one.

In the end, everyone couldn't figure out why, and Milkman even wondered if Professor Yu and the others had confessed to the desert before they reached the oasis?But Lao Yan was sure that they had entered the ancient site, and had walked a certain distance in the ancient site, which could be analyzed even by listening to the recording.

Since we can't figure out why, everyone can only let it go, at least the direction is right, and everyone has a bottom line in their hearts.

After resting in the oasis for a long time, Lao Yan studied the map to confirm the direction and we set off again.

After restocking supplies and resting, everyone was in high spirits, and the milk boy even jumped and ran ahead, and ran back and forth to talk to me from time to time.

I looked at him helplessly, it seemed that people in the army called him Naiwa not only because of his tenderness, but more because of his personality.If I hadn't actually seen him play tricks with Hawkeye a few days ago, I really don't believe he can quickly subdue Hawkeye!
"Chang'an, why are you so bored?" The milk boy took another two steps forward: "You are obviously two years younger than me."

I looked up at him helplessly: "Little..."

At this moment, my eyes flickered as if I saw something, and I yelled to make the baby get out of the way.

As expected of a model soldier, Naila was a little stunned, but he jumped away reflexively. At the same time, I heard a tearing sound, and saw that half of Naiwa's trousers had disappeared.

"Back quickly! Stay alert!" I dragged the poisonous snake beside me and took two steps back, then raised my gun and swiped the bullets.

The bullet hit the sand and only raised yellow sand, but it didn't hit anything.

When we got together, Milkman was still in shock and asked what it was, trembling.I shook my head and said I didn't know. I seemed to see a big mouth just now, and I yelled without thinking. I didn't expect it to be really weird.

Milkman was still trembling, I patted him on the shoulder, but couldn't say what I wanted to say.If he had slowed down just now, it might not be the half of the trousers that disappeared but the half of the baby's leg, so I can understand his mood.

"Everyone, be careful, back a little way first!" Lao Yan quickly made a decision, everyone got together, took out the half-stick and beat it around, and then backed up after making sure there was no problem.

After retreating for almost a mile, Lao Yan made everyone stop, and asked sullenly if any of us knew what it might be?
Everyone shook their heads. If it wasn't for me and Naiwa who were arguing at that moment, it would be impossible to see that scene.If it weren't for the half of milkman's trouser leg that disappeared, I would have thought I was delusional. There was nothing there, so how could a big mouth appear out of thin air?
"Anyway, be careful." Company Commander Chen ordered, and then asked Lao Yan if it was possible to make a detour.

Lao Yan studied the map for a while before shaking his head, saying that the current route is the most reasonable, and it would be more dangerous no matter which way to go.

I leaned over to take a look, and what he said was indeed true. To go around, you can only walk through a quicksand. The quicksand in the desert can be said to kill people without blinking an eye. Once you get stuck, there is almost no chance of survival. Was washed out from another place, but no one who entered the desert dared to challenge the quicksand.

Quicksand is more dangerous than a swamp. It looks like ordinary sand. Once a heavy object steps on it, it will sink, and the speed is extremely fast, and the sand will be quickly caught by the mouth and nose, causing people to suffocate to death.

With unknown creatures on one side and quicksand on the other, everyone fell into silence, not knowing what to choose for a while?
