Chapter 1669 Falling Behind (4)

Anyway, after traveling such a long way, Xia Siyu couldn't use her watch anymore, so Xia Siyu didn't force it any more. She simply got off the camel and sat on the ground: "Do we still need to set up a tent?"

Seven or eight kilometers is actually only an hour or two of riding a camel. But if you accidentally lose your way, you don't know how far you will go, especially at night.

Bo Yan didn't answer, just sat on the ground and asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Siyu nodded feebly.

How could I not be hungry, having eaten and slept in the open all the way? She didn't take a nap at noon today and was on the road all day.

The program team originally gave them a time to arrive tonight, but it is estimated that they will not be able to arrive tonight. A guide will take them there.

But there is a saying that is right, if you don’t eat enough, how can you have the strength to lose weight? Anyway, it was not enough, so Bo Yan actually set up a pot and boiled water to make instant noodles.

While the fire was burning, the group of Han Yifan and Shang Feier came over from a distance.

"Damn it, why did you run ahead of us?" The two of them also walked for a while and found that the compass was shaking. However, the magnetic field was not that strong at the beginning, so they followed and walked forward for a certain distance. After that, the compass couldn't be used. The two of them walked around in the desert for a while, and finally got out. They saw a fire here from a distance, so it seemed that someone was there.

"Follow the route." Bo Yan replied calmly, throwing the dough into the boiling water.

"Is your compass okay?"

Bo Yan said: "We didn't buy a compass, we just followed the watch."

Han Yifan was speechless and wanted to say something else. The instant noodles in the pot gave off a fragrant aroma, and his saliva almost came out.

Instant noodles are a magical thing. Others' noodles always taste better than your own, and what you smell is better than what you eat.

Han Yifan and the others had also been on the road for a day. Yesterday, they had fresh food. Today, they had almost finished all the food, only bread and water. The bread is not unpalatable, but the smell of instant noodles is simply tempting and sinful in a place where supplies are scarce!

Han Yifan asked: "What flavor is it? I don't like shrimp and fish plates, anything else is fine."

"Braised beef. Hey, stand away, I'm going to make noodles." The noodles will become lumpy after being cooked for a long time. Xia Siyu doesn't know anything else, but she can still cook instant noodles.

"Why don't you buy Laotan pickled cabbage? That one is delicious." Han Yifan was still stretching his head forward, wanting to get into the pot. Xia Siyu said deliberately: "It's not your fault."

"Stingy." He immediately retorted, "I'm just eating your noodles, and you won't even accept instant noodles. I've never seen such a stingy person like you. I even gave you a bottle of Coke the day before yesterday."

"Is this happening?" Xia Siyu turned to look at Bo Yan. She actually remembered that she deliberately teased him, and Bo Yan pretended not to know.

"You're so stingy!" Han Yifan made a show of trying to grab him. Xia Siyu and Bo Yan were protecting him. The three of them were making a fuss when Shang Feier asked, "Do you know what's next?"

Xia Siyu actually wanted to ask this question, so she turned to look at Bo Yan. The watch is no longer useful, what’s the next step?

Bo Yan pointed to the sky.

Xia Siyu had a question mark on her face: "What? Are you talking about looking at the sky?"

Bo Yan nodded: "Yes, just look at the sky. Do you remember the Polaris and Big Dipper we looked at before? That's the direction."

The Big Dipper, from the beginning to the end, has seven planets in total, called Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, like a spoon. Tianshu and Tianxuan are the heads of the spoon, and the bright star five times the extension line of these two planets is the North Star.

Polaris, due north.

The Big Dipper has different directions in different seasons, but the North Star is always at true north. By observing the North Star, you can know the general direction.

Moreover, Polaris will never be affected by a small magnetic field on the ground. Presumably, this is also the intention of the program team: no matter what, the guide should find the direction through the ground and Polaris.

Xia Siyu had no idea that looking at the stars and the moon that night would have such an effect. In fact, this is the simplest common sense in life, but if ordinary people don't think about it, they won't judge the next path through watches and stars.

This is why Bo Yan initially said he would rest on the spot. It was just dark at that time and the stars had not yet fully appeared, so it was not easy to judge the position. But that's different now.

There were little stars in her eyes, and the expression on her face could be interpreted as: My husband is so awesome!

But she wasn't paying attention, and she didn't expect that Han Yifan would snatch the instant noodles from the bowl. Foodies can talk about everything else, but the only thing that is not allowed is to be robbed of food. That is no different from murder and arson. She was furious: "Han Yifan, stop!"

Han Yifan didn't eat her instant noodles after all, but Xia Siyu wasn't that stingy. Now that they were all here, they all formed a team and shared the soup and noodles. After eating, Han Yifan was sent to clean the pot, while Bo Yan prepared to watch the road.

Maybe it was because of the strong wind yesterday, so the temperature suddenly dropped. It was a bit cold just after dark. Boyan looked at the direction and was about to leave, and quickly asked Xia Siyu to put on his military coat: "Be careful, in the desert, in addition to dehydration, it is also easy to lose temperature. If the temperature drops suddenly, it can easily cause various problems."

Xia Siyu wore a skirt, leather boots, and a military coat on the outside, and the two groups walked forward. Although the north is correct, after all, the distance from Moon Bay is not due north on the map and needs to be slightly east. They deviated slightly from the distance, but it was not a big problem. They quickly calibrated their position and moved forward.

Although the meal just now delayed a little time, the two groups also replenished their physical strength during the meal, and then they reached the end in one go.

Standing on the sand dune, looking at the crescent moon below. There is also a waxing moon in the sky, and there is also a crescent moon below, which complement each other and are beautiful.

The guide said that this place was indeed a large lake in the past. It was like a full moon in the rainy season and a new moon in the dry season. It never dries up. But later, due to environmental deterioration, the lake dried up all year round. Until recently, the country has increased its protection against wind and sand in the northwest, and the lake here has gradually reappeared.

Their two groups were the first to arrive. After they arrived, after a while, the old couple also reached the end far away. They walked the earliest, but they also took a long detour. After the compass stopped working, the two lost their direction. They didn't have a watch like Xia Siyu that was anti-magnetic, and they didn't know how to use the North Star to judge the distance, so they reluctantly followed the guide out.

But Zhou Weiwei's group never arrived.
