"Daya, did the gods tell you all this?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Ning in surprise. At that time, the compass had not yet been invented, and people in the Daqing Dynasty almost relied on experience to find drinking water.
"Hello players, popularizing knowledge about tree rings has been increased by one quest point! It's only 0.68 points away from reaching 20. Please keep up the good work!"
"That's right!" Xu Ning grinned happily, his smile almost reaching his ears.
"And milk, if one day we come to a place with no water at all, a place with no trees and only sand on the ground, do you know how to find water?"
"Dig underground?" Xu Da answered. Xu Ning shook his head. "Wrong, wrong, wrong. You can't dig out water in that water shortage. In the desert, you must not rely on brute force. It's best to save your energy for nighttime. During the day, try to find a place to rest that is shielded from the sun.
If you have no choice but to travel during the day, when you rest at night, if you have a knife or other metal items on you, you must find a place with long grass and hang it in the air. Use a bowl or something to catch it, and you will have water to drink at dawn."
"Also, if you see animal footprints or feces, you must follow the animal's footprints. If the animal's feces is still moist, it means the animal is nearby and the water source can't be too far away!"
Xu Ning babble on about the knowledge she had learned from her previous travels, and when she stopped talking, she gained another half point.
As for why it is half, it is because some of the knowledge is actually known to the adults in the Xu family.
Xu Ning was not in a hurry. He secretly released the exchanged drone while everyone was resting.
Old Mrs. Xu had been keeping an eye on her, opening her eyes and looking at her at the slightest movement. Seeing that Xu Ning was just groping with a black object, she didn't pay much attention and closed her eyes to continue resting.
Xu Ning was screaming in his head, so excited! The resolution of this drone was incredible!
She even saw a refugee not too far away picking his feet, and... uh, switch, switch, which good person is not afraid of the heat in the middle of the day and is still pooping on the side of the road?
Looking at the other side, Xu Ning actually saw the people from Xujia Village.
The drone flew very high, and Xu Ning was not afraid of being discovered. After all, no one knew what it was.
Even if they found one, they would just think it was a flying bird or something like that.
Xu Ning stared at the display screen, looking at the people from Xujia Village who were a few kilometers away.
The display screen showed the distance. The weather was too hot at that time, so everyone in Xujia Village stopped to rest.
Xu Ning didn't have a deep impression of the people in Xujia Village. He looked a few times to make sure that the two directions would not meet, so he stopped looking.
Xu Ning cut the screen to another direction and saw a carriage coming from behind on this road.
Xu Ning enlarged the image and was about to take a closer look when he noticed that the coachman sitting at the front of the carriage looked up at the drone.
"No way, they can detect it like this? It's dozens of meters above the ground!" Xu Ning just complained when he found that the guy actually took out a bow and arrow and aimed it at Xu Ning's drone!
"Smells so sweet!" Xu Ning couldn't help shouting out these two traditional Chinese sayings, and quickly raised the drone and changed its direction.
"Xu Daya, what's wrong with you?" Old Mrs. Xu was awakened by Xu Ning, with a dark face. Xu Ning had no time to respond to Old Mrs. Xu, his hands were controlling quickly!
Oh my goodness! There were several times! Just a little bit short! Xu Ning's 188,888 was gone!
"Xu Daya?" Old Mrs. Xu called out again. Seeing that Xu Ning didn't respond, she walked to Xu Ning's side, and then she saw a scene that made her pupils tremble!
"Daya?" Old Lady Xu looked at Xu Ning mechanically, "When did you put people in there too?!"
"What? Grandma, I don't have time to explain to you right now, please ignore me for now, okay?" Xu Ning had developed a hand speed from playing games for more than 20 years, but he almost failed to dodge a cold arrow from an ancient man!
Absolutely not! Xu Ning was extremely alert and controlled the drone to get out of the devil's path!
As the drone rose higher and higher, completely out of the range of the bow and arrow, Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Ning stared at the screen without daring to blink until the dog-cart driver gave up and continued driving away. Only then did she turn around and respond to Old Lady Xu behind her. Old Lady Xu had gone from shock to numbness.
Xu Ning opened his mouth to explain, but Old Lady Xu lowered her eyelids and said, "It's easy to dream when you get older. You should wake up if you continue sleeping."
After saying that, Old Lady Xu sent back the other adults who were woken up.
Xu Ning and they looked at each other in silence. She wanted to explain, but no one wanted to listen!
"Milk~"
"I'm already asleep!"
"I slept too!" Xu Da immediately followed up.
The only ones who were really “not asleep” were the two babies with bright eyes. They only had time to see the scene for a moment before they were pulled back by Old Lady Xu.
Xu Ning was speechless. He checked again to make sure it was safe and then lay down to rest.
Before falling asleep, Xu Ning was thinking about why the driver's face looked so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
As he was thinking, Xu Ning fell asleep.
When I woke up again, it was around four or five in the afternoon. The weather was still very hot and the sun was already halfway up the sky in the west.
Xu Ning turned on the display screen and planned a route based on the view captured by the drone. Xu Ning was responsible for leading the way in front, and the other members of the Xu family followed behind.
Finally at dusk, Xu Ning found a very cool cave.
Xu Daxian went into the cave to check and make sure there was no problem. Xu Ning raised the drone to monitor the surroundings, while she walked into the cave with a box and took out the family's belongings.
It is not so hot to travel at night, but the safety factor is very low. Without Li the Hunter, the Xu family, young and old, would set out at dawn.
This will slow down the process a lot, but the Xu family has Xu Ning, and Xu Ning has a treasure chest with food, drinks, and endless treasures, so there is no need to worry about survival.
Based on previous experience of fleeing famine, Old Man Xu believed that at the Xu family's current speed, they would be able to reach the south before the snow fell.
In some places in the north, it starts snowing in October and November, while in the south, it doesn't snow until December at the earliest.
"Grandpa, doesn't it snow in the south?" Xu Ning's former classmates in the south told her that they all wore short sleeves in winter!
Is the South different here? Or does she have some misunderstanding about the South?
"That year when we were fleeing famine in the south, there was a heavy snowfall. Your grandfather sprained his ankle, so the family could not continue to move south. By the time your grandfather was able to walk, the snow had melted and floods had occurred, washing many refugees heading south into the sea." Old Mrs. Xu was in a daze for a long time when she talked about this memory.
After listening to this, Xu Ning felt that humans are really too insignificant in front of nature.
"Grandma, don't be afraid. We have a treasure chest now, so don't panic! If it snows, we'll wear down jackets! If it rains, we'll hide in caves. If there's a flood, we'll take a boat! The kind made of iron! It can't be washed away by floods!" Since she couldn't avoid facing this situation, she couldn't lie down at all, but she had to win!
She just couldn't believe it. With all the advanced technology at her disposal, she couldn't handle a famine refugee?!
"Warning? Warning? There is a stranger approaching within 500 meters!" The display screen of the controller that Xu Ning had been holding in his hand began to sound an alarm. Xu Ning clicked on the surveillance screen and found that the person walking towards him was an old acquaintance!
