Chapter 32: The Desert
"It's so hot!!
Somewhere in the desert in the Western Regions, a veiled woman is looking up to the sky and roaring. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw that the woman was petite, and the black gauze wrapped her tightly, and not even a single hair was exposed.
The woman was followed by two slender men in white, both of whom wore hoods, so that they could not see their faces clearly, but their white robes looked exquisitely made, and at first glance they knew that they were expensive, and a chain hung from their sides, and they were pulling forward in the sand.
One of them led a camel, the camel bell was long, and it looked particularly crisp in the silence of the desert.
They are Xia Qing and his party, as for why they are here, it has to start from a month ago.
On that day, Qu Ziyan and Mo Chen were chained together by a strange old man in the Drunken Immortal Building, and the chain was also the ice chain that had disappeared for a long time in the legend.
Legend has it that the Ice Chain was built by a famous weapon blacksmith in the Western Regions for ten years, and later disappeared from the world for many years with the death of the locksmith.
The most wonderful thing about it is that the blacksmith who built it gave it the ability that no weapon could destroy it, and legend has it that the chain was a strange ore that the blacksmith stumbled upon on the way to the Tianshan Mountains, from which the raw material for the chain was extracted.
If you want to open it, there is only one way. It is the descendants of the blacksmith who have the key to open the chains.
But the descendants of the blacksmith were also very adventurous, and liked to run from place to place, looking for raw materials to make weapons.
A month ago, Mo Chen used his intelligence network to find out that the blacksmith's descendants had recently returned to his hometown in the Western Regions to make weapons.
So, as Xia Qing, who witnessed the whole incident, was also tied up by the two to start this trip to the Western Regions together.
"I'm going to untie my hands. ”
A cold male voice under the hood sounded slowly, "There seems to be a cactus in the north." Mochen led the camel and walked north without saying a word.
"Hmph. ”
Qu Ziyan didn't cooperate, and he pulled the chain heavily.
Mo Chen, who was walking forward defenselessly, only to feel that his hand was pulled back by a force, and he almost sat in the long yellow sand.
He stood still holding on to the camel beside him.
"Qu Ziyan, what do you want to do?"
Mo Chen turned his head coldly, and the small piece of white and delicate chin exposed under the hood was tense at the moment.
"Sorry, my hand slipped. “
Qu Ziyan deliberately slowly raised his hand wearing the iron chain and pulled it heavily, "It's like this." ”
You don't need to look at it to know how ugly Mochen's expression is at this moment. Xia Qing, who had witnessed everything on the side, sighed helplessly.
From a month ago when the two were locked together to now, these two have done nothing less than such a child-like quarrel.
They will make things difficult for each other because of their hands, they will fight each other because of the location where they sleep at night, and they will even mock each other all the way because of a strange look from passers-by.......
And the biggest sufferer every time is Xia Qing.
She's going to reassure these two guys and get them to stop doing this nonsense. But perhaps the most troublesome thing is not appeasement, but the fact that these two lords simply ignore her........
"Don't make any noise..... Qu Ziyan, you are obedient and accompany Mochen. ”
Xia Qing walked up to Qu Ziyan and blinked his eyes and begged Qu Ziyan.
"Qing'er, you don't have to beg him, since he doesn't want to come, I'll cut off his hand!"
"Yo Yo Yo, what a big breath, I want to see how Yu Zheng Gongzi is going to cut my hand. ”
Qu Ziyan, who had already loosened his attitude, was said by Mo Chen, so he simply sat on the sand and stopped moving.
"Qu Ziyan, I'm going to ...... today"
"Shut up!! I'm already getting hot like this! You still quarrel with me every day! You just die here if you love to quarrel so much! I don't care!"
After holding back the anger for so long, at this moment, Xia Qing was finally relieved. She looked at the two of them who suddenly fell silent, and she was a little cowardly.
"I mean..... You can't do this way.... ...... uncomfortable."
"Hmph, for the sake of the little thing, I let you go. ”
Qu Ziyan stood up and walked slowly towards Mochen.
"Heh, I also don't care about you for Qing'er's sake. ”
Mo Chen seemed to be in a hurry, because his steps were surprisingly fast, and the camel bell on the camel became very urgent.
However, Xia Qing's roar was still a little useful, and in the next short distance, neither of them spoke anymore, and followed behind Xia Qing in great silence.
"Mochen, look at the map, where are we, so thirsty and hungry......"
Xia Qing, who was walking in front, slowly stopped, it had been a morning, and the water loss in this hot desert was very fast, and Xia Qing, who had only drunk half a pot of water, was almost to the limit at this time.
"I'll see...... Probably a little further on, there will be an oasis where we will go and rest. ”
Mo Chen took out a water bladder from the camel.
He and Qu Ziyan have been practicing for many years, so their physical foundation is much better than that of ordinary people, and they don't feel thirsty or tired for half a day's journey. But Xia Qing has no martial arts and is a woman, and she can endure it until now, and she is much stronger than ordinary women.
"Little things are not ordinary, so many roads can last so long, but why don't you want to tell me where your internal strength comes from?"
Qu Ziyan leaned on the camel and played with a string of beads in his hand, so that he could be more leisurely and leisurely.
"I really don't know...... Okay, let's keep going......"
As soon as Xia Qing heard Qu Ziyan's words, he immediately diverted the topic, handed the water bladder in his hand to Mo Chen, and stepped forward quickly.
Mo Chen didn't speak, he turned his head to look at Qu Ziyan, this time, the two looked at each other very tacitly.
His eyes staggered in the air, and this time Qu Ziyan turned his head away.
"Hurry up, I really want to go to the oasis to rest early." ”
Xia Qing saw that neither of them spoke, so she had to take the initiative to provoke the conversation.
"I told you to sit on a camel, but you refused to sit down. ”
Qu Ziyan touched the camel beside him and looked, how cute it was.
"Am I not afraid..... I'd better go. ”
Mochen looked at the back of the woman in front of her, thoughtfully, if she wasn't afraid of this camel, then the three of them could walk on the camel. Now in order to accompany her, he and Qu Ziyan didn't sit down and chose to walk together.
"Qing'er, slow down. With physical strength, the weather in this desert is weird, and it will be very cold at night, and I am afraid that you will not be able to hold it at that time. ”
Mo Chen looked at Xia Qing, who seemed to have regained his strength after drinking the water, and couldn't help but be a little worried. Now walking so fast and waiting until the evening, there is no physical strength, this desert is very weird, and something will really happen when the time comes, even if he and Qu Ziyan are there, they may not be able to protect her well.
"Don't be afraid, this little thing has deep internal strength, and it is not much worse than you and me. ”
Qu Ziyan returned loudly, and sure enough, someone who was walking quickly in front of him immediately slowed down.
"It makes sense to hear you say that! I'm a little tired..... Let's walk slowly. ”
Xia Qing walked in front of the two with a dry smile, she glared at Qu Ziyan fiercely, and told you to talk too much!
"The little thing is tired, in that case, you can let me ride this camel with you." Otherwise, it's not worth it for me to spend money on it. ”
Qu Ziyan said that he was going to pull Xia Qing on the camel.
"No!!I don't want it!!"
Xia Qing struggled almost with all his strength.
Seeing that Xia Qing resisted like this, Qu Ziyan was not reluctant, he turned his head to look at Mo Chen, who had been silent, and the latter was actually in a daze on the side.
"Yu Zheng, how long did you say it would take us to get to the oasis you said, my little thing is hungry. ”
Qu Ziyan touched Xia Qing's head dotingly, but his eyes kept looking at Mo Chen.
"Soon it will be there. Don't touch her head, she's not familiar with you, right?"
Mo Chen slapped off the claws that Qu Ziyan had placed on Xia Qing's head in disgust.
"How do you know I'm not familiar with little things......?
Qu Ziyan didn't finish it, because the latter words had been covered by Xia Qing with his hand.
"No! No..... Not particularly familiar with ......"
Xia Qing smiled dryly, glared at Qu Ziyan, and then looked at Mo Chen.
Mochen's face under the hood was expressionless. Xia Qing was a little relieved.
"Hey, really, let's hurry up. I'm really, really hungry. ”
Without waiting for the two to speak, Xia Qing stepped forward quickly and continued walking.
And the two who remained in place looked at each other at this time, without saying a word.
