I didn't become a human today

Ji Ran watched the old beggar go further and further away, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"What the old man said is good. We have to leave here now." Ji Ran glanced at the sun above his head. Everything, the originally unclear buildings became more blurred.

Liang Xingye felt that the biggest problem they were facing now was the lack of water.

"This place is complicated. If we want to go out, we must find water first. Otherwise, even if we go out, we will die of thirst in the desert very quickly."

The three of them immediately realized the seriousness of the matter, and they started to walk in the same direction as they saw, and looked around the buildings on both sides of the street for several hours. The kettle was empty, the water bag was empty, and there were dried up The appearance of water, without a drop of water.

"How did this happen? I couldn't find a single drop of water... Just yesterday, there were still many people here. After one night, all the people disappeared, and even all the water disappeared!" Ji Ran panicked.

Liang Xingye found a plain silk scarf, and carefully tied it on for Ji Ran, "Lu Zhihe, you also wrap one of the silk scarves here on your head. The sun is too poisonous, so it will be better."

He felt that the reason why the water sources in the city disappeared completely was because the water was originally taken from the ghost gate.

Now that the ghost gate is completely closed, all the water will naturally disappear.

The desert just returned to its original appearance.

A few hours have passed...

The sun gradually went down, but they still didn't find a drop of water.

Everyone is very thirsty, and now they can't find water. They have wandered around the city for a long time, and they can't even find the way out.When night fell, they randomly found a room to settle down. In order to maintain their strength, they had to take a good rest.

Early the next morning, before the sun rose, they began to look for a way out for themselves again.

The first thing Ji Ran feels when he wakes up in the morning is thirst, very thirsty.In order not to wake Lu Zhihe up, he ran outside the house and coughed.

His throat was sore, his lips were peeled, and it felt like the saliva in his mouth had become sticky.

Liang Xingye's situation was not much better than his. While everyone was asleep, he went out to look for it again. If he hadn't made enough marks along the way, he probably wouldn't be able to find it at all.

When Ji Ran was coughing, he just came back from the outside and handed him the things in his hand, "I still haven't found water, but I found some fruits, which are not very fresh, but they are still watery, you should eat this first. "

Liang Xingye didn't find many fruits, only three. He woke up Lu Zhihe and handed the fruits to him. When he returned outside, Ji Ran had almost eaten the fruits, so he handed his own he.

Looking at the fruit, Ji Ran really refused.

"I won't eat it, it's yours, Brother Hoshino, I won't eat yours anyway."

"I've already eaten it. This is extra. Your physical condition is worse than mine, and your dehydration symptoms are worse than mine. Be good, eat it."

Ji Ran's heart is actually like a bright mirror. Brother Xingye actually lied to him when he said that he had eaten it. Every time he encounters such a situation, he will think of him.

"Don't worry, I won't die before you." Seeing Ji Ran's slightly uneasy look, Liang Xingye continued to comfort him.

Ji Ran was a little disappointed, "If only I were an animal now, be it a rabbit or a mouse, at least I only need a small half of this kind of fruit, and I can leave the rest to you."

In the room, Lu Zhihe still felt tired after eating the fruit.

The three of them set off immediately without delay.

"I think, instead of wandering around in the city, we should go out and fight. I heard that there are many dark rivers in the desert, which appear from time to time and disappear from time to time. At least there is still a way to survive."

They roughly searched the houses on both sides of the street, and they found that all edible things in the city were rotting at a rapid speed.

For example, an apple usually takes more than ten days to rot, but here, it only takes a few hours to rot, even if they find other foods and fruits containing water, they cannot survive.

Liang Xingye thought about it carefully, and agreed with Lu Zhihe's point of view. No matter what, he couldn't just stay here and wait for death.

"Today we will split up. There are many forks here, and the street buildings overlap with mirages. The situation is complicated. Actually, I tried it when I went out in the morning. If we pass a fork, we will mark it in a conspicuous place. Mark, then you will definitely be able to return to the original place.”

Liang Xingye quickly explained his way of marking, "For example, when we walk along a road, we mark the building on our right hand side along the way, so we can easily distinguish the road. Those who have passed by or have not passed by." Liang Xingye said, and drew a big circle on the wall by the side of the road with stones. Mark, make a mark on the right hand side in the direction you are going."

In the beginning, they couldn't stay away for too long. To be on the safe side, Liang Xingye set a time.

"When the sun rises to the highest point above the head, everyone gathers here. If someone does not come back when the time is up, we will follow the signs to find them. Remember that we must make more signs along the way."

Everyone planned their respective directions and set off on three different roads.

Lu Zhihe wished he could make a mark every three steps, for fear that he would get lost.

Liang Xingye, on the other hand, was more calm. He tried to explore as many roads as possible at the fastest speed. After walking one, he began to turn back to the forked road to continue exploring the second road.

As for Ji Ran, it wasn't a big problem at first.

But not long after walking, he found yesterday's old beggar in the middle of the road, went up to check his breath, and found that he was dead.The old beggar was not injured, his eyes were closed, and the expression on his face was very serene. He even put on a set of clean clothes, and lay in a dead-end position, with his hands on his stomach, as if he knew he would die a long time ago. .

No wonder the old beggar said something like that yesterday.

He said that he is a person without tomorrow. Did he know that he would not survive the next day?So I had to change clothes early and lie here peacefully?

Ji Ran didn't know the cause of the old beggar's death. He guessed that it probably had something to do with Huangsha Temple.

In the Yellow Sand Palace, he did not choose gold, silver and treasures. Ji Ran felt that the old beggar might have exchanged his life for the truth he wanted to know.
