Chapter 137: Frightened by the Night of Fetching Water-The Northern School Tomb Raider’s Notes

Go on.

Wang Mopan was originally a forty-something years old scruffy man, fleeing the famine to beg for food, just because he would be this kind of skills passed down from his ancestors, so in the Gao Li area, so popular, and then he married a big beauty from the White Miao Department, and this girl, when the small Wang Mopan nearly twenty years old.

In return, Wang Mopan, with his hogs, led the White Hmong division to repeated successes, digging up thousands of times more sands a year than the Black Hmong division.

The Black Hmong Ministry is eyeballing it to death.

He said that this would not work, so he sent more than 80 people with swords, and they were going to go and snatch the king’s millstone to themselves.

Then came the “Battle of the Nu River” between the Black and White Hmong.

Black Hmong came more than 80 people, equivalent to half of the men in the tribe came, White Hmong in order to protect the king millstone not to be snatched, also deployed more than half of the men, the two tribes killed in the darkness of the sky and heavy casualties, blood are stained red river water.

And as a result, it’s a lose-lose situation.

Finally, the two sides negotiated, said in the Nujiang River bank to establish a point of gold stone, this point of gold stone a whole block all with gold to build, the two sides agreed, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, every year in the point of gold stone here to hold a martial arts conference, the two sides of each side to send six people, which side won, will be obtained next year’s gold sand mining rights, but also the king of the abrasive plate to pick up their own tribes, so that he can help to look for gold mines.

A few years have passed, sometimes this family wins, sometimes that family line, Wang Mopan simply made a family again in the Black Hmong Department, and married the youngest Black Hmong beauty with the best body.

This year in this house with his wife, next year back to that house with his wife, Wang Moupan happy, became the biggest winner.

That’s why there is a proverb passed down in the Black Hmong tribe in the Gao Li region.

“The waters flow, the golden sands, the king’s millstone, come to my house.”

“Black seedlings are good, white seedlings are cowardly, feed them to the golden pigs and send them out.”

After the reform and opening up, the Black Hmong and White Hmong suddenly disappeared into the vast mountains, and then a large number of explorers went to Gongshan, and the night did not know whether they wanted to find the Black Hmong and White Hmong, or whether they wanted to look for the piece of martial arts with the “point of gold stone.”

After the short story, on to what happened to us.

Beanpole threw camel poop and cursed the disgusting old man, then we continued on our way.

Tengri in the Mongolian language is the meaning of the sky god, Alashan left flag this vast desert is known as the sky god, visible before in the hearts of the local people’s status, in addition, there are a lot of small lakes in this sandy area, if you look at Tengri’s geomorphological map with satellite maps, these scattered distribution of small lakes are like colorful pearls, white, blue, red, last time, I and bean sprouts Xiaoxuan found one.

If you cross the Tengger to the Badanjilin Desert, although close, then there are no more of these small lakes, and the reason for this is that it should be influenced by the Helan Mountains.

Helan Mountain is more than 2000 meters above sea level, abundant precipitation all year round, the mountain range is rich in precipitation, the desert precipitation is small, which will form the atmospheric pressure difference, the underground dark river will be formed under the Qilian Mountains, these underground water diversion to the desert, the formation of a small lake.

Therefore, the water source of these lakes in Tengger is from the ground, rather than relying on the rain from the sky, otherwise, the desert could not rain half a bowl of water a year, how could there be so many small lakes.

These lakes because there is no circulation drainage capacity, the desert temperature is so high, which will evaporate, the water is dry there is salt to stay, slowly for a long time the salt more and more storage, and ultimately the formation of brine lakes, this water is saltier than seawater, drink a mouthful of salty individuals, don’t look down on these lakes, can be used to make lake salt, sold also quite expensive.

On about the eighth day, we found a saltwater lake, a small lake that was surprisingly red, and not all red, but half red and half blue, with a white line where the red and blue met, and the water was calm, and it was just beautiful.

We do not have much mineral water, when I see this small lake my first reaction is to get water, the last time into the desert by Azar stole the water, if not run into the bottle tree of the Khojas, then I and Xiao Xuan will die of thirst, there is also a time to run into the salt water lake, at that time, because it will not be able to get water can only give up.

Later, I asked Uncle Kulok once, and he taught me a way. The Hutu tribe has been living in the desert for generations, and Uncle Kulok’s way worked very well.

Bean Sprout boy bag has two small glass bottles in the shape of a ball, originally filled with sour plum soup, sour plum soup finished he left the bottle, now it is just right to use.

Using this method of distilling salty water, with or without fire, is slow and divided into three steps.

I was bringing two iron rice bowls.

The first step is to fill the basin with sand, which should be filled a little higher at one end and a little lower at the other, and then fill one of the glass bottles with lake water, which should not be filled too much at a time, and make sure that the water does not run out when the glass bottle is laid flat.

Step 2: Once you’ve filled the bottle with water, line it up with another bottle that isn’t filled with water, make sure it’s tight, and then wrap the joint with a cloth.

In the third step, the lake is filled with some water and poured into the rice bowl of the bottle containing the water, and then a fire is built to keep heating this rice bowl, and when the sand is hot, the water boils.

Because the two bottles are facing each other, the water boiling will produce a lot of water vapor, thermal expansion and contraction, and the negative air pressure will automatically collect the water vapor into the empty bottle at this end.

When the water boils dry you’re filling it.

Eventually drop by drop, slowly gathering less and more, the salty water becomes fresh water that can be drunk directly.
