The gray sky was the same as yesterday, Xiao Bao'er couldn't distinguish the north and the south, and stared at Yao Xitong, who had read a lot of books, but not practical experience, and casually pointed in a direction and said confidently, "That's right this way." www.biquge.info"The two of them walked in the dense forest for another day, watching the trees become more and more sparse, Yao Xitong consciously went in the right direction, and Xiao Bao'er's face was always as gloomy as the sky.

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?"

"Not happy. ”

"Why?"

Xiao Baoer said the reason, and Yao Xitong couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it. Things have to start from the ghost town, Xiao Bao'er has seen his cooking skills, and feels that he has the ability to cook all living things, in addition to this, he is also full of curiosity about the various spices and cooking utensils he carries in his bag.

The two fled, Xiao Baoer was greedy, and when she saw him always taking things in her sleeve pocket, she suspected that he was secretly hiding food. When she grabbed it, it was not food but rouge, gouache and other miscellaneous things, and she thought that she would not be able to eat good things in the next few days, and her mood became very bad because of this.

Yao Xitong kindly comforted: "When we leave the forest, we will go to the official road, and you can eat whatever you want at that time." ”

Xiao Bao'er stretched out her hand and grabbed it from the wind, and said softly, "I'm afraid it's not an official road ahead." ”

Yao Xitong also grabbed her look, her hands were empty, she really didn't know how she came to such a conclusion, and couldn't help asking: "What is it that is not an official way?"

Xiao Bao'er looked back at the dense forest behind her, "It's nothing, let's talk about it when we go out." ”

The two walked for another day, and Xiao Bao'er was not idle, running to dig plant roots for a while, and looking for dead branches for a while, causing Duo Ke to carry a lot of messy things.

Yao Xitong is always silent, and he doesn't need to contribute, there is a fire at night, something to eat during the day, and someone to feed the horses, what he has to do is to enjoy himself, instead of asking the wrong questions to ask for his own suffering?

At noon the next day, the sun, which had not shown its face for several days, finally appeared, and the golden sunlight made the Gobi dream that appeared in front of the two of them look like a red sea.

Yao Xitong was dumbfounded and asked, "Why is this happening, could it be that we have gone to the territory of Northern Liao?"

Xiao Bao'er looked at him like an idiot, "I remember you once said that the ancient road was abandoned because the desert eroded the mountains and forests, and the river that used to be on the surface was hidden underground. ”

"You mean we're lost?"

"When we were still in the ghost town, we had already deviated from the ancient road, and the two escapes deviated even more, so it seems that we are lost at the moment!"

Yao Xitong quit, looking at the situation, Xiao Bao'er had long expected to meet the desert, so she prepared some things for Doc to carry, but why didn't she say it, if she said it earlier, they would have a chance to go back to the original way.

"Princess, can you explain what it means to be lost?" Xiao Bao'er also felt a little bit of Yao Xitong's temper, calling her Xiaoxiao when she was in a good mood, and calling her a princess when she was in a bad mood, so far, this person is in a very bad mood.

She explained, "Do you see that mountain in the distance? It's called Kebogra Peak, it's the holy mountain of Northern Liao, and we're going in the right direction, but we're just on the wrong path." ”

Yao Xitong felt that Xiao Bao'er was accusing him, and couldn't help but ask: "You already knew that we would go into the desert?"

"I didn't know until yesterday when I caught sand from the wind. ”

Lie to the ghost, he once learned from Xiao Bao'er's appearance and grabbed it, but there was nothing in his palm. Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xiao Bao'er made an analogy, "I heard that you can tell where these things come from from paper and ink, and even more winners can know where the ink comes from when they smell the ink." ”

Yao Xitong understood what Xiao Bao'er was trying to express, and was a little surprised that this princess, who had lived in Great Xia for five years, actually remembered how to identify whether it was a desert in front of her. He asked, "Why didn't you persuade me to turn back yesterday?"

"Can you promise you won't get lost when you go back?"

Yao Xitong was embarrassed, looking back at the dense forest behind him, he really couldn't guarantee to return the same way.

When Uncle He was there, he didn't need to say that Uncle He would leave signs on the road to prevent getting lost. It had only been two days since he left Uncle He, and he had forgotten all about leaving the mark. It's good that Xiao Bao'er is not there, he can jump on the treetops to look at the road in the distance, and now in order to hide the fact that he knows martial arts, he can only follow Xiao Bao'er to the Gobi Desert in resignation.

"Princess, have you recovered your martial arts?"

"It's useless to recover, even if you stand at the highest point, all you see is the vast forest. ”

Yao Xitong originally wanted to fight Xiao Bao'er's martial arts were too low and his eyesight was limited. The words came to his lips but did not come out, mainly because he had no experience in standing in the treetops to explore the way, and it would be too arbitrary to attack Xiao Bao'er now, maybe what she said was true.

There is no way back, and one can only hope that after passing through this Gobi, you can see the road to Chendi. For this reason, he asked Xiao Bao'er again, "Can you really go to Chendi or Northern Liao from here?"

Xiao Bao'er replied confidently, "Yes!" Looking at her sincere eyes, Yao Xitong decided to let go. The princess is jade, he is tile, the princess is not afraid, what is he afraid of.

On the first day of entering the Gobi, Xiao Baoer was responsible for leading the horse. Uncle Yao Xitong rode on a horse and said with high interest, "Xiaoxiao, it's the first time I've been to the desert, why do you call this place the Gobi?"

"The sand and gravel in the Gobi are relatively rough, and the desert is all quicksand, and there are many sand dunes scattered around. Under the action of the wind, the sand will run with the wind, and the sand dunes will move forward layer by layer, changing into different forms, and the landscape can be completely changed. The Gobi is different, because the sand and gravel are relatively large, there will also be a landscape of sand and rocks when the wind blows, but the landform will not change, and the Gobi is the predecessor of the desert. When the wind is strong, the constantly moving sand dunes make it difficult to distinguish the road, and getting lost in the desert is not uncommon. The Gobi is better, there is more or less vegetation to refer to, and the risk of getting lost is relatively small compared to the desert. ”

It was rare to hear Xiao Bao'er explain one thing, Yao Xitong had to ask inch by inch, "Xiaoxiao, what kind of songs do the herdsmen sing when they go to the Gobi? ”

"Herders only sing in the steppe, and here is the Gobi. ”

"It's a pity, such a vast expanse of sand lacks songs to praise, fortunately, there are poems from the Central Plains that can make up for this regret, don't you say?"

"In addition to fighting, what poet who doesn't open his eyes will run to the horns of this bird that doesn't and write poems?"

"The Central Plains is full of talents, and there are many people who want to see the great rivers and mountains of their home and country, what does this have to do with the war. I once wanted to travel all over the rivers and mountains and enjoy the different scenery of the south and the north of the world, and seeing the Gobi today can be regarded as a full wish. ”

Xiao Bao'er didn't speak, and since she entered the Gobi, she changed the nagging of the past few days, and her words were like gold, which made Yao Xitong a little uncomfortable.

"Why don't you speak, your tongue is bitten by a cat?"

"Shh......h You listen ......"

"What?" Yao Xitong rode a horse, his vision was wider than Xiao Bao'er, he looked around, except for the Gobi or Gobi, there was no sound around.

Xiao Bao'er listened attentively, and suddenly pointed to a small triangular column in the distance that was about the same color as the Gobi and said, "There is a snake that is warning the lizard in the red willow bush ahead." ”

Yao Xitong took a closer look according to her prompt, and sure enough, on the yellow Gobi Desert, she saw a snake that was almost the same color as the ground, and the strange thing was that the snake's tail would ring. He asked, "It terrorized the lizard by waging its tail? The Creator is amazing, and this is the first time I've seen such a snake." ”

"The rattlesnake has multiple rings on its tail every time it molts, and it warns intruders by rubbing the rings. You see this snake has so many rings, it's enough to catch us for two meals, but unfortunately there is no salt. ”

Looking at Xiao Bao'er's smacking lips, Yao Xitong felt very cute, and couldn't help but say, "As long as I can catch it, I have my own way to make it delicious, the key is the lizard, isn't it a pity to let it escape?"

Xiao Bao'er looked at the front intently and said: "As long as you catch the snake, it will inevitably alarm the lizard, choose one of the two, I feel that the snake is a little more delicious." By the way, have you ever eaten a lizard?"

"I haven't eaten it, but I know how to do it. The lizard, also known as the five-clawed golden dragon, can be used to make soup, Huaishan, wolfberry, ginger and half a piece of lean meat, it is said that the soup is delicious. Xiao Bao'er swallowed and foamed, and said regretfully, "The conditions here don't allow for soup, it's a pity." ”

"Who said you can only make soup, and you can also smoke it into jerky and carry it around. This thing is also known as horse snake, or a Chinese herbal medicine, roasting and grinding powder with rice wine can cure sheep madness. Or roast, grind the noodles, three eggs, open a hole at one end, put the horse snake in three parts, seal it and put it on a charcoal fire until it is coke. Re-grinding the face and applying it to the affected area can treat the big ear. ”

"Sounds good, but my martial arts have not recovered, I can only catch one, what do you want?"

Yao Xitong patted the horses under him, "Don't forget that we have Doc, horses and snakes are natural enemies, you go to catch lizards, I let Doc step on snakes." ”

"Can you do horsemanship?"

"Instead of taking the time to question my technique, we should wait and admire my heroism in riding a horse and stepping on a snake. ”

Xiao Bao'er pursed her mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm going to catch the lizard now, you take care of the snake, don't let it bite Dog, this snake is poisonous." ”
