Chapter Ninety-Five: Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes

After four days of recuperation at the oasis, he prepared the necessary food and water for the round-trip journey, and set out on the road accompanied by Yutu and others. The camel that Helian Xiaojiang rode was left in the oasis, and the Xian country in the north was the least visited by Yutu but the closest to the oasis.

Say goodbye to the enthusiastic oasis villagers and dive into the night to walk north. Helian Xiaojiang was almost walking with her steps, she was sleepy and dozing off, and her tears were unconsciously squeezed out. The others left a trail of footprints on the flat desert, and behind her were two coherent tracks.

"Still sleepy?"

She was walking in a daze, and the blue wolf leaned over and asked, with a low voice like the friction of sand grains, Helian Xiaojiang's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she suddenly woke up: "No, no, no, I'm not sleepy." ”

The desert sways between the two extremes of unpredictability and monotony and boredom, and the slightest sleepiness that arises now is caused by boredom, which will be scattered by the blue wolf approaching a question.

A group of people go out by day and night.

One, two, three...... As time passed, the weather became more and more strange as the border of Xianguo got closer and closer. The further north you go, the farther away from the equator, the temperature drop is normal, but the temperature will be four or five degrees lower after just one day, such a big drop, such a strong decline rate is obviously abnormal. When they walked out of the desert and crossed the Gobi Desert and stepped on the border between Xian and E, everyone put on all their winter clothes.

In this way, Yutu replaced all his mounts with horses, instead of camels suitable for surviving in the heat.

From the scorching summer to the cold winter, the transition is abrupt. Helian Xiaojiang has suffered a crime, she has always liked heat and not cold, now even if the bulging bag wrapped from head to toe still feels cold, the underwear is a padded jacket, and I don't know what kind of animal fur it is, it is estimated that it has not been handled well, and it has a slightly unpleasant smell, Helian Xiaojiang is so cold that her nose is out of order, so she doesn't care about the smell of the clothes, she only tightens the clothes on her body.

The blue wolf naturally took off his cloak and covered Helian Xiaojiang's body.

The wisps of gas exhaled from the human body immediately turned into white smoke and rose when the cold air outside. Helian Xiaojiang grabbed the cloak, as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and he was puzzled. Originally, it was the blue wolf who took the initiative to distance himself from the head. Helian Xiaojiang built up his heart before accepting the reason for keeping a distance between the two. Along the way, it is polite to be affectionate. But in recent days, the blue wolf has changed the direction of the wind without warning, and he always shows that he is unusually active, such as suddenly taking the initiative to come over, such as suddenly taking the initiative to talk, etc.

The blue wolf said vaguely, but Helian Xiaojiang obviously felt the other party's vague hospitality. The days of living in the same tent in the oasis may have been a clue before this.

Each girl is born with a sophisticated radar system that scans out the suitors and admirers around her from all angles. They are very sensitive to this. The blue wolf subtly changed Helian Xiaojiang's heart like a mirror, but seeing that Xianguo was getting closer and closer, the opportunity to return to the original world was close at hand. Helian Xiaojiang chose to pretend not to know.

Since she couldn't give a proper reaction to the implicit approach of the blue wolf, she didn't pierce this layer of window paper. Because of this, Helian Xiaojiang had a deeper understanding of the blue wolf's concerns a little earlier. After understanding, the little annoyance in my heart that the blue wolf had just taken the initiative to alienate at the beginning also disappeared.

Before love is clear, the person who is a shrunken turtle is not without guts, but he really has to worry too much. She and the blue wolf, one person and one game, can be regarded as a tie.

When you get out of the desert, you don't need to travel with the stars and the moon, but you can travel day and night. Everywhere is icy and snowy, water is naturally not lacking, grab a piece of ice and melt it into your mouth to quench your thirst, but the food you bring is limited. After more than ten days of continuous travel, finally one afternoon, Yutu, who was walking in the front, stood still with his spear on his shoulder, and the team following him of course stopped.

Except for the blue sky overhead, the surrounding scenery is always glowing on a white ground, and the sight is dazzling wherever it falls. Helian Xiaojiang fixed his eyes and carefully distinguished, and it took a while to see clearly that they were standing in front of a forest. The forest is not dense, but the trees during this period are big shoulders and thick waists. The thick snow obscured the towering trees, revealing only the middle gray trunks.

The heavy snow covers the mountains and rivers of the sky, but even in the face of such magnificent scenery, Yutu and his party do not move a single step closer.

"Passing through this forest, in front of you is the boundary of Xianguo. Yutu pointed ahead and told the two wolves. Youtu was going to go home, so he kindly made a final explanation to the blue wolf: "The people of Xianguo are all very closed, they don't welcome others into their territory, and they are never willing to wander on other people's territory, and they don't like to communicate with others, so they are complacent. If you encounter it, don't act recklessly, explain the purpose of your coming, and don't let people misunderstand your intentions. ”

An oasis man who was traveling with him silently handed over a small blue package and handed it to Youtu, who took it and stuffed it into the blue wolf: "Oh, give this to them as a greeting gift." ”

When it was opened, there were three layers of broad leaves wrapped in a dozen purple flowers. Sunflowers can be seen everywhere in the oasis, especially by the lake, from a distance, purple clusters around the shore of the lake bloom all year round, very beautiful, in the outside world, this kind of flower is very rare. The small petals of the flowers do not overlap much, and the shape is like a chrysanthemum, and the weight is not light.

"Sunflower is an excellent tonic and the best medicine, hot, grows and reproduces in large quantities in oases, and although other places such as the southern Xin country can also be planted and produced, the quality and weight of the flowers are far less good than those in our oasis. Therefore, sunflower is rare and expensive, and the price is not low, and we oasis take sunflower to barter. Xianguo people also like sunflowers, and giving them some as a gift can at least make a good impression on you. ”

Yutu paused for a moment and then explained very honestly: "It shouldn't have been prepared for you, but leading you on this trip actually exposed the location of the oasis." This is very detrimental to our isolated life...... "And the sunflower with such a high value, it is guilty."

Helian Xiaojiang herself doesn't remember the road very well, and besides, she can't remember the road with the sand, Gobi and snow all over her eyes along the way. She turned her head to look at the blue wolf who had no expression or refutation, and her heart was clear.

The blue wolf is the one who remembers.

"You rush into the Xian country, have a conflict with the xenophobic Xian people, kill both of you, and the secret of the oasis can be kept, this is the best. However...... "But Youtu still can't bear it, and the dozen or so sunflowers wrapped in broad-leaved leaves that are still delicate and full for dozens of days are the best proof, this is the pure and pollution-free oasis human nature."
