Chapter 51 Frustration

"Captain, come quickly!"

Xia Zhi walked up to the camel and gently stroked it with her hand.

This was a habit she had developed from riding camels for many years. This kind of caressing and intimacy would make the camel feel close to other people.

Zhou Zhengan strode over, always feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Captain, wait a minute and find some camel thorns. Camels like to eat them. Let them eat a little first. There is something in their stomachs. It would be best if they can get some cactus to replenish their water."

Xia Zhi was not polite at all and directly ordered Captain Zhou.

It is not necessary to guess that these people also crossed mountains and ridges and rushed for more than a day to get here.

The camel had to carry the two of them, so naturally they had to treat the camel better and fill their stomachs first.

Zhou Zhengan glanced at Xia Zhi and sighed when he saw how gentle Xia Zhi was to the camel.

He felt that Xia Zhi had never been so kind to him.

People these days are not as good as camels.

But they worked without complaint.

The other young soldiers came one day, too. They didn't let the captain go, and their camels also needed to be fed.

All the camels rested in place, and the soldiers found a lot of things to bring back.

After all, there was a red yeast forest not far ahead, although it was a little different from the red yeast forest they had just run out of.

The area was relatively small and sparse, but there were a lot of food to be found.

After a while, the camels were full and satisfied.

Xia Zhi and his friends finally set off.

Xia Zhi consciously climbed in front of the camel.

She was thin, so it was quite comfortable to sit in this position. If Zhou Zhengan sat here, it would be a bit uncomfortable.

It would be relatively uncomfortable for two people to sit on a camel.

But we can't care about it now because it will be dark soon.

Zhou Zhengan got on the camel from the back, and seeing Xia Zhi was almost like being in his arms, his face turned red again.

Work hard to distract yourself.

Zhou Zhengan commanded the camel to get up with experience, and everyone started on the road.

Xia Zhi sat in the front, gradually becoming a little listless.

If you say you are not tired, you are lying.

But compared to two people walking on their legs, this time is much better.

Xia Zhi is already very satisfied.

Sitting in the front, hugging the hump, feeling a little drowsy.

Zhou Zhengan was a little worried, feeling that Xia Zhi could fall off the camel if he was not careful.

But it seemed that nothing he did was appropriate.

Zhou Zhengan stared at Xia Zhi with trepidation, ready to reach out and pull him back at the first opportunity.

The magical thing is that Xia Zhi took a nap on the camel like a chicken eating rice, and she didn't fall under the camel once.

It was as if she grew on the camel's back.

Zhou Zhengan was there wondering, this girl is really different.

He found that Xia Zhi was very familiar with camels when they first met, and now it has been clarified that Xia Zhi is familiar with the habits of camels, and even more familiar with other camels.

Even rolling over by herself is impossible to fall off.

How familiar with camels is this? But in Xia Zhi's files, there are absolutely no camels in the place where they came.

Zhou Zhengan couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, anyway, it was like a kitten scratching there, curious and scratching his heart and lungs.

After finally reaching the camping place, they walked for several hours before they walked more than half of the way. There was no way to go around the long way now.

But after dark, they didn't dare to continue riding camels. First, the vision was not good at night, and it was not easy to see the terrain clearly, and it was easy to get lost.

Second, the night was full of wild wolves.

For safety reasons, everyone couldn't do anything wrong. After all, it was not only Jiang Yifan who followed them, but also these other young comrades.

Soon a bonfire was lit, and everyone sat in a circle around the bonfire.

The flames provided everyone with a sense of security, while removing the cold, and of course avoiding the attack of wild wolves.

But sitting in front of the fire, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

There was no food!

The young soldiers had never thought that they would encounter the enemy burning down their house this time. They had to take such a long detour. Except for water, which was a must, they had no food.

Apart from drinking some water, they really had no other choice.

Zhou Zhengan winked at Jiang Yifan and turned to leave with the two young soldiers.

Others had no food, but they could not be bothered by them.

When they were training in the wild, they had long been accustomed to how to survive without any external help.

What was this?

An hour later, Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Yifan came back with their young comrades in high spirits.

They carried ten gerbils in their hands, all of which had been skinned and cleaned up.

Of course, they also carried two sand grouse.

This thing was quite plump.

While they were catching these, they found a water source in the distance, which was very convenient for everyone to replenish water.

And when they came back, they found that meat had been roasted in front of the fire.

After they left, Xia Zhi and his young comrades were not idle either, anyway, they knew a lot of things.

I originally wanted to take them to dig some cacti, and bring back some ramie and giant saguaro.

I saw them just now during the summer solstice.

The roots of ramie are edible, and the stems of giant saguaro are edible.

And it tastes good. If they grill it, it will taste better after heating.

By the way, everyone also needs to replenish water sources. They must look for water around.

As a result, they accidentally caught a small wild boar.

This wild boar is really small.

Under normal circumstances, they dare not provoke the little wild boar. Don’t think that the wild boar is small and you can beat it casually.

Wild boars have parents behind them, and they usually come out in groups to seek revenge.

They dare not provoke them easily.

But this little wild boar is different. Its hind legs have been bitten off. It seems that it was injured by some unknown animal.

And the wound has rotted. It should be abandoned by the family.

Otherwise, such an injured little wild boar would not be left alone.

So they brought the wild boar back with peace of mind and cleaned it up near the water source they found.

After returning, it was immediately skewered and roasted on the fire.

Xiazhi also used his brain and found salt-born Cistanche.

This plant has a salty taste because it grows in saline-alkali land.

It is the best seasoning. Of course, this salt-grown Cistanche tastes much better than the salt from saline-alkali land, at least it eliminates the bitter taste.

Cut this plant into slices and put it directly in the middle of the barbecue.

As the fat of the meat sizzles, the salt in the plant will also be absorbed by the fat.

The young comrades happily gathered around the campfire, and the aroma of the barbecue wafted in their noses.

When Zhou Zhengan and his friends came back, they were a little skeptical about life when they smelled this aroma.

They went out for a walk, and people even grilled meat.

Zhou Zhengan and Jiang Yifan felt frustrated for the first time.
