It was only after entering the pustule mountain that Surdak saw that the floating ash cloud roots on the top of the mountain were not clouds, but the smoke emitted from the pustule mountain top. These smoke did not spread but covered the crater of the pustule mountain.
The foot has become very soft and a thin layer of volcanic ash has covered the ground.
Surdak picked up the water bag and gulped down the water inside, making some chapped lips moist. He waved the water bag and saw that there was no drop of water in it before Surdak hung the water bag again.
Seeing this, the old village head shook his head slightly and realized that his belt was filled with water and handed it to Surdak, saying, "Save some water and enter the Pagolos Mountain. Water is more precious than food …"
Surdak didn’t pick up the old village head’s water bag and said, "Don’t worry about this. I’m ready …"
Said from the bosom pulled out a roll of "water gathering" magic scroll waved the old village head in front of the old village head slightly one leng and then recognized it as a magic scroll, just know where Surdak bottom spirit is.
The villagers in Woer village continued to walk for less than half a day to the pustule mountain, and the volcanic ash on the ground was almost an inch thick.
Stepping on your feet will sink deeply, just like stepping on fine sand.
I didn’t expect that this place was covered with volcanic ash, but some seabuckthorn grass grew on the ground, so the villagers caught some limestone iguanas in some crevices filled with volcanic ash. These limestone iguanas left some footprints in the shallow volcanic ash, which exposed their whereabouts. Therefore, if the villagers look along the trail, they will definitely find limestone iguanas.
The villagers caught limestone iguanas all the way and unconsciously came to the foot of the pustule mountain.
From the foot of the mountain, you can see some lava rivers flowing on the mountainside of Pustus Mountain.
These lava rivers are not dark red magma floating on the river surface as imagined, but strips of rocks. These hot rocks braved wisps of smoke, and the real magma was wrapped around these strips of rocks, which were slowly flowing.
Smoke billowed everywhere on the mountainside.
Even at the foot of the mountain, you can smell a very strong pungent smell.
Here, volcanic ash has been able to drown ordinary people’s knees, and it is also difficult to walk inside. The old village head has led the villagers to capture two cage limestone iguanas in this area, which has been successfully completed. The villagers face a faint joy.
This time, the successful capture of limestone iguanas is mainly due to the huge halfway of Surdak’s "water gathering" scroll. The villagers carry water bags one after another. After drinking, Surdak will nail the magic scroll to the stone wall every night to make the magic scroll work and gather water droplets. The water element in the air here is quite thin, which is far less than that in Walvillage. However, the water tank can form a waterfall, but the drizzle is enough for these villagers to make it normal.
The old village head plans to return along the original road early in the morning.
Later, Surdak sat on a rock and looked at the top of the pustule mountain, which seemed to be burning and rolling, and several sparks burst out to form a lot of smoke.
He reached for a handful of dry volcanic ash and an idea gradually formed in his eyes.
The old village chief enjoyed drinking the clear water from the water bag. Since Surdak owns the magic scroll of water gathering, it is necessary to save the clear water deliberately. He took a pipe in his hand and smoked it twice. The tobacco in the pipe turned red like a pustule. He looked at Surdak’s side face and saw a ray of joy in his eyes. He coughed two pairs of Surdak and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Surdak grabbed a handful of volcanic ash and smiled at the old village head and said, "These are volcanic ash …"
"Yes, everyone knows that these are volcanic ash," muttered the old village head.
"I’ve always had this idea recently, that is, I want to build a large reservoir in the village tour area, so that those springs can be pumped up, which can not only avoid the water in the village during the dry season." Surdak stretched out a finger and gently wiped the volcanic ash ground to sort out a flat land, then outlined the terrain of Woer Village with his finger, and then drew a line to cut off the whole ravine tour …
The old village head gaped at Surdak and listened to his initial idea of Wall Village. Unexpectedly, the reservoir in Surdak’s mouth was more like intercepting a dam. The old village head stuttered and said to Surdak, "Are you going to build a wall around the ravine to cut off the river?"
"Not only is the river cut off, but if there is no water in the mountain here, if you want to build a reservoir, you must re-lay the bottom of the reservoir to ensure that rainwater does not penetrate into the ground, and the reservoir must be abundant in summer to store water. Usually, you can’t store water, but you should also increase the water discharge appropriately …"
Surdak explained to the old village head what he was thinking, and then said to the old village head, "When building the reservoir, we need these volcanic ash. We need to mix these volcanic ash with some lime powder to form a kind of cement, so that the ground of the reservoir will not seep …"
The old village head asked blankly, "Cement? ……”

The old village head reached out and grabbed a handful of volcanic ash and asked Surdak doubtfully, "Can this thing build a wall?"
"It’s almost necessary to add some lime, but you can try it first. Anyway, you won’t lose anything," Surdak said. He wasn’t sure who knew what the volcanic ash in this world would be different. If he patted his chest and made a guarantee, then the volcanic ash roots would not be able to hit his face.
The old village chief felt that Surdak’s words would not hurt if he tried, so he shouted to a young villager, "Oh Kakaro, put these volcanic ash in a bag and go back to the village."
The villager named Kakaluo is cleaning the slate. He sweeps the volcanic ash department covering the slate aside, and then he will carry a blanket to lay the slate. When he hears the old village chief’s order, he asks the old village chief stupidly, "Uncle Brett, why are we carrying this thing to the village?"
The old village chief thought for a while and didn’t know how to explain it, so he gave Kaka Luo a testily look and shouted, "It’s good to let you do it. Where did you get so much nonsense?"
The young villagers immediately ran back to find a bag of dry food cloth and took out the few dry food left in it. The village chief of Lai’ an ordered that a bag of volcanic ash be filled and put aside.
At this time, a villager ran back breathlessly and reported to the old village head with exaggerated expression.
"Uncle Brett there seems to be a limestone iguana …"
The villagers have been lying on the slate wrapped in blankets. When they heard this cry, they looked at the villager one after another. Some people couldn’t help sneering, "Kakro, can you find limestone iguanas when you run out to relieve yourself? Why didn’t the iguana bite off your guy! "
"Ha ha …"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The villagers have got up to get ready to sleep and follow the old village head with a set of poles to catch iguanas.
The old village head looked at the sky and said, "It’s so late that we can’t find everyone at all. Let’s rest first!"
In recent days, almost everyone who hunts limestone iguanas in Pagelos Mountain has lost a lot of weight, and their skin has also shed a layer of old skin. It can be said that hunting here is quite hard. The old village head naturally has his own considerations and has not allowed the villagers to continue hunting iguanas at night.
The old village chief patted Kakro on the shoulder to let him take a rest while grasping, and comforted him by saying, "We have caught enough limestone iguanas this time. Of course, we can catch some more …"
……
When dawn dawned, Surdak was suddenly awakened by someone gently, and there was a faint burnt smell floating in his breath, and his mouth was a little dry.
There is a thick layer of gray clouds floating in the sky, and a little dust falls from the sky and faces are everywhere.
Surdak saw that the old village chief was about to speak, but he was held down by the old village chief and put his finger on his lips to signal him to ban.
Surdak hurriedly got out of his sleeping bag, and the old village head was already rushing to wake up a villager. Two villagers who were in charge of vigil were hiding behind a huge rock and were thinking about the’ pustule’ volcano. Surdak walked over to hide behind the rock and looked over there.
A giant lizard wrapped in flames is lying in volcanic ash. The lizard is nearly three meters long. It looks like an alligator, but it looks stronger. It has very sharp claws, and its eyes are as beautiful as rubies. It looks like it is swallowing a pale yellow stone with teeth and a large yellow rock in its mouth.
Surdak has never seen a lizard eat. This scene completely subverts his understanding of lizards. Do lizards need to eat stones?
An awakened villager came over in a daze and waited for him to see the huge lizard burning all over. He sat on his back, his eyes were cooing, his hands and feet were crawling backwards. Obviously, he was scared by the giant lizard burning all over.
"What the hell is that big guy?" The young villagers asked nervously behind the stones.
Before anyone could answer, the villagers jumped from the big stone and said eagerly, "It seems to have seen us."
In addition, some villagers shouted "Get out of here quickly …"
Surdak saw that the lizard turned its head and looked this way, so he ignored it and continued to nibble at the pale yellow rocks there. He wanted to stop all the villagers, but the scene was so noisy that no one wanted to listen to him. The old village head could also call all the villagers to get up and take their luggage and not run away.
When I ran two kilometers from the stone wall and saw that the lizard didn’t catch up with the villagers, I stopped panting next to a crevice to prepare for a rest and then continued on my way.
