Chapter 224: The Storm

Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong had something very important to do when they came to Molu City, and Zhao Yishan had already learned from the mouth of the end capital that after Molu City, and further north, there would be a desert with a radius of 100,000 li. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

To get out of this desert, it is impossible to do it without half a year, and in this half a year, Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong have to solve the problem of drinking water.

Although You Shiyong has a magic empty hoe that can dig groundwater, the two don't want to pout their butts and dig the soil every once in a while, so they have to prepare a leather bag to store fresh water.

The best leather bags for storing fresh water are sold in Molu City, and a leather bag can be sold for a hundred taels of gold, but no one thinks that leather bags are too expensive, because this kind of leather bag can store a person's annual supply of fresh water.

Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong came to the north of Moluo City and found a store called Dapin Grocery Store, there were all kinds of small commodities in the store, the flow of people was weaving, and the shopkeeper and the guys were very busy, so they could say that their feet did not touch the ground and their mouths did not stop talking.

Zhao Yishan explained the intention to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper asked the guy to bring Zhao Yishan a leather bag, the leather bag is about half a zhang long, it is difficult to imagine that it can hold a person's annual amount of fresh water, but there is an example of You Shiyong Qiankun bag, Zhao Yishan is not too surprised.

After paying a hundred taels of gold to the shopkeeper and taking away the leather bag, he pulled You Shiyong out of the store and found an inn in the north of the city to stay.

When he arrived at the inn, Zhao Yishan asked the guy to bring him fresh water, and then he poured fresh water into the leather bag, and one basin after another of fresh water was poured into the leather bag by Zhao Yishan, but the leather bag did not swell, until Zhao Yishan poured more than 300 basins of fresh water, the leather bag swelled, until the fresh water overflowed the leather bag, Zhao Yishan sealed the mouth of the leather bag and put the leather bag away.

At dawn on the second day, Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong got up early, picked up the leather bag containing water, went to the backyard of the inn to lead the high camel, and walked to the Beicheng Wharf in Molu City.

When the two came to the Beicheng Wharf, another thing happened on the Beicheng Wharf that surprised Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong.

At this time a large number of caravans had gathered on the docks, and they sat in a circle, surrounding a crying boy and a woman.

These two people are the traffickers and the boys who have been taken away by the guards, but for some reason, they appeared on the dock again today, could it be that they were let go by the guards? Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong couldn't help but wonder.

At this time, the crying little boy shouted: "Quickly arrest this old woman, the traffickers, I want to go home, I want my father!"

The woman said kindly: "Xiaodong, don't cry, come with me, follow me to the Huimian Mountains, I tell you, everything is good there, I guarantee that after you go, you don't want to go home!"

When Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong heard this, they glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think, could it be that this woman is from Ziwu Mountain?

Zhao Yishan sighed even more: No wonder this woman knows spells, the fishmonger lewd man jumped into the lake and committed suicide after being glared at by her.

But the guards on the wharf did not know this, and they tied up the women again and escorted the women and boys to the nearest yamen.

The traffickers were escorted away, order was restored on the dock, and Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong did not worry about the women who were taken away, and took a passenger boat to the north shore of Yue'er Lake.

After the two landed, they began their career of rushing again, riding a high camel all the way north.

After a month, the two entered the range of the largest desert in the Great Yan Kingdom, this desert is 100,000 miles in circumference, and is called the treacherous desert by the people of the Great Yan Kingdom, because there are often sudden storms in the desert that cover the sky and the sun, the storm blows the wind and sand, so that the sun and the moon change color, I don't know how many merchants and warriors who cross the desert die in it, these storms appear strangely and unscrupulously in the desert, and then disappear, no law can be found, it is the most dangerous existence in the treacherous desert, so all the merchants and warriors who want to cross the treacherous desert will sacrifice to the heavens when they enter the desert, praying for safety through the treacherous desert。

Zhao Yishan and You Shi are never superstitious, but in order to seek inner stability, they also made sacrifices to the heavens after entering the range of the treacherous desert.

After the sacrifice was over, the two of them resumed their journey, but to their surprise, just as they had mounted their camels, they saw a woman behind them walking towards them with a little boy.

This woman was none other than the woman who was suspected of being a human trafficker, and the little boy was what she called Xiaodong.

This woman with the temperament of a noble lady took Xiao Dong's little hand and came to Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong, her mouth opened slightly, and her round and jade voice spit out from her mouth: "Two little brothers, can you take the two of us?"

Zhao Yishan was a little awkward when he heard this, not for anything else, for the three words "little brother", Zhao Yishan is now less than twenty years old, this woman can call him a little brother, but You Shiyong is already in his forties, it is inappropriate for this woman to call him a little brother.

Fortunately, You Shiyong could not understand Yan Chinese, otherwise he would definitely jump up and scold his mother, although Zhao Yishan felt that the woman's words were a little inappropriate, but he did not plan to correct it, but agreed to the woman's request.

The woman was very happy and handed the little boy to Zhao Yishan, who let the child sit in front of him, while the woman walked beside the tall camel on foot.

To the surprise of Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong, the two of them did not see the woman taking steps, but the woman was able to keep up with the speed of the high camel calmly, which made the two more sure that this woman was not an ordinary person.

To the surprise of the two, the woman did not know what magic the woman had cast on the little boy, who no longer cried and clamored to go home, but was anxious to go to the Celestian Mountains, and from time to time asked the woman, "Is the Celestian Mountains almost there?" and the woman replied, "Almost there." The change in this made Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong drop their jaws in shock.

Zhao Yishan was puzzled, and deliberately asked the little boy, "Xiaodong, why don't you miss home?"

Xiao Dong pursed his lips and said lightly: "It's none of your business, I won't tell you." ”

Zhao Yishan was stunned, the woman smiled faintly, and then asked, "Little brother, where are you going?"

Zhao Yishan didn't tell the truth, and said indifferently: "My cousin and I went to Baoshan County in the north of Dayan Kingdom to do some small business. ”

The woman smiled faintly when she heard this, and stopped talking to Zhao Yishan.

In this way, the four of them walked on the same road, but they didn't talk along the way, You Shiyong couldn't reveal that he was from the Great Zhou Kingdom, so he didn't dare to speak, and the woman and the little boy were strangers with Zhao Yishan, so they had nothing to say.

Although the four of them were on the road together, they each did their own things and thought about their own things, as if they didn't want to communicate deeply with each other, so as not to reveal their secrets.

But a storm changed the situation, and the four of them were camping in the desert when the storm hit without warning.

The storm came suddenly and violently, and the wind and sand swept in from afar, as if the whole desert had been blown into the sky by the storm.

The little boy was frightened by this apocalyptic scene, his hands and feet were cold, and he trembled, as if he was in an ice cave, but fortunately, the little boy was held in the arms of the woman, so that the little boy did not pass out.

Faced with such a scene, Zhao Yishan looked at You Shiyong, You Shiyong understood, immediately took out the Miaokong hoe, and began to pout his ass and dig.

Zhao Yishan was not idle, he stood behind You Shiyong, and used the wind wall technique to stabilize the surrounding of the sand pit, preventing the sand from falling into the dug pit.

The woman couldn't help but nod when she saw that Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong had dealt with it in a moderate manner, but she didn't have nothing to do, because the storm came suddenly, the four of them were unprepared, and it was impossible for Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong to dig a hole in a short time.

The four of them had no protection, and in the face of such a swift storm, they could only be buried by the wind and sand, so there must be someone outside to resist the wind and sand.

The woman held the little boy in her arms and took on the burden of resisting the storm, and it was not known what spell she had cast to build a transparent barrier around the four of them, which the storm could not shake in the slightest.

Outside the barrier is the wind and sand, but inside the barrier is calm.

Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong didn't know how long this noblewoman-like woman would last, but the sooner they dug the hole, the less risk they faced.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed, and with the combined efforts of Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong, the surface of the desert was finally dug up and the ground with soil was dug up.

After the pit was dug, Zhao Yishan greeted the woman who was casting a spell on the surface, and then the woman held the little boy and hid in the pit with Zhao Yishan and You Shiyong.
