Chapter 28: The Arrow Ant Guides the Way

 The fat man took out the photos in the camera and carefully compared them one by one with the Arabian stone pile in front of him.

"Hey, this one, this one." Pan Zi shouted.

The fat man zoomed in and took a closer look, and immediately cursed: "Damn it, these are exactly the same."

Pan Zi was a little annoyed, "What should we do now? The longer we stay here, the more dangerous the mistress and the others will be."

The younger brother suggested, "Change the direction and walk again."

"This is the only way, let's carve a mark this time." Pan Zidao.

Half an hour later, they circled back here.

The fat man found a smoother stone and sat down, fanning himself with his hands, and sighed: "This damn place is really screwed up by a lame man. We all changed directions, but we still can't get out."
Pan Zi was not discouraged, and kept looking for the direction with the compass, and suddenly cursed, "***, this damn place has a magnetic field, the compass is lying to us."

The little brother and the fat man also hurriedly took out the compass and tried it. Sure enough, the compass completely failed here.

Since the compass is useless, the only way to get out of here is to wait for the stars to come out at night.

The fat man waved his hand and told Pan Zi to sit down and rest for a while. He put his hand on the Arabian stone pile and said, "Old Pan, stop wandering around. Sit down and rest for a while. Save some energy for us to catch up in the evening... Oops!"

The fat man suddenly cried out in pain, folded his hands and took a look, and found a small earth-yellow ant lying between his fingers. Maybe the fat man was blocking its way, so it bit the fat man.

Looking further to the side, more khaki-colored little ants lined up and climbed up one after another from the bottom of the Arabian stone pile, as if they were marching to fight.

The fat man flicked the ants off his hand and wondered: "The ants are moving? Is it going to rain? No way."

Pan Zi came over, squatted next to it, picked up a small stone and picked up an ant to look at it. He said: "This kind of ant is very common in the desert. It is called arrow ant. It is very resistant to high temperatures. But there are also other ants next to this pile of rocks."

There is no arrow ant nest, where did these little things crawl out?"

"No matter where it comes from, just tell me whether it's poisonous or not. Why are the fat man's fingers itchy?" The fat man shook his hand, puffed up his cheeks and blew on the red and swollen spot on his finger.

"It's not poisonous. It's almost like being bitten by a mosquito. Some people are so swollen that they go to the hospital. Some people are fine. It depends on their physical constitution." Pan Zi took out the anti-itching agent from his backpack and threw it to the fat man, asking him to spray it on.

.

The little brother came over, stretched out his hand to drive away a small group of ants, touched a handful of sand on the edge of the stone pile, put it under his nose and smelled it, "It's sweet."

After saying that, he took out his dagger and scraped away the handful of sand. There were actually scratches underneath.

"Hey." The fat man screamed strangely, "Isn't this special sign the mark of a wooden fish? How come it was buried in the sand?"

Pan Zi picked up the stone, poured some water and wiped it clean, revealing the complete fish character in seal script, and the carvings were very new.

The fat man suddenly became excited, "The wooden fish left a mark. Let's follow this and at least we can find one."

Pan Zi was also a little excited, "Muyu has a smart mind. He might be able to understand this pile of Arabian stones. If we follow the marks, we might be able to find him and the mistress."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry up. If we find their fat man as soon as possible, I can feel at ease." The fat man jumped up, dragged the little brother and the two of them forward.

At the next fork, I focused on looking for ants. When it was dark, I finally followed the marks and arrived at the temporary camp.

"Here it is."

The fat man used a flashlight and used a stick to poke at the melted fruit candies on the mound. He said, "Let me tell you, it's not raining or windy. Why are the ants going out in groups? It turns out it's here."

Eat sweets."

Pan Zi looked at the candies picked by the fat man on the stick, and then looked at the small mounds of soil dug out by the ants on the edge. He was also happy, "The marks left by this guy Muyu are so special. Who would have thought of using candies like this?"

Attract ants to guide you."

The little brother went to the tent to check, came out and said to the two of them

"Not here."

Pan Zi nodded, "I guess Muyu first found the temporary camp they set up, and then followed the traces to find the people. Let's leave quickly."

The three boys followed the marks and continued walking deeper into the Devil City.

On the other side, after Zhang Zhu found ten copper coins in a small pit sunken into the stone mountain, he found small stones underneath, piled arrows in the direction he was going, carved a mark, put sugar on it, and made a triple

Insurance, make sure they can find a location.

After walking about ten meters, I found a second copper coin. It seemed that it was not far from Wu Xiaoxie and the others.

Finally, in a shallow pit, Wu Xiaoxie and his wife were found in a pile of dehydrated and fainted bodies.

"A Ning's" head was still resting on Wu Xiaoxie's belly. Zhang Zhuxun stepped forward, stretched out his hand and pushed her aside.

Without even looking at it, he took off his backpack and took out his water bag, opened a candy and shook it inside. Then he inserted a straw into the mouth of the bottle and put it to Wu Xiaoxie's mouth. He held up his head and said, "Innocent, wake up."

, get up and drink water."

Drowsily, Wu Xiaoxie felt as if he was hallucinating, and he seemed to hear the voice of a wooden fish.

My dry mouth suddenly felt moist, and something cold flowed into my mouth, which seemed to be a little sweet.

Subconsciously I wanted to lick my lips, and when I opened my mouth, more sweet liquid flowed in.

Ah! Wu Xiaoxie thought to himself, could this be the legendary poplar nectar that brought people back to life in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea?

His body reacted before his consciousness, and by the time Wu Xiaoxie came to his senses, he was already sucking with a straw in his mouth. The refreshing and cool sweet water penetrated his heart and spleen, and flowed into his limbs and bones, leaving people with endless aftertaste.

The burning feeling in his throat and lungs suddenly subsided, and he felt like he was alive again.

His eyelids were too heavy, and he couldn't lift them no matter how hard he tried. His consciousness gradually blurred, and he finally fell asleep with his straw in his mouth.

Zhang Zhuxun moved Wu Xiaoxie into a sleeping bag, moved to a sheltered area, lit a fire, set up a small iron basin, poured water into it and cooked millet porridge, and then had time to talk to "A Ning".

Looking at the face that was exactly the same as that of Aning, Zhang Zhuxun sneered in his heart, stretched out his hand to open her jaw, stuffed the water bag with a straw into her mouth, and dragged her three meters away from Wu Xiaoxie.

Far away, I left her and ignored her.

While stirring the rice porridge with a small spoon, sprinkle the dried meat and seaweed into thin strips, and stir evenly.

After a while, there was a coughing sound from "A Ning", obviously she woke up, but after a while there was no movement again.

Zhang Zhuoxun glanced over there and thought to himself, he's so small, he's pretty good at pretending.
