Section 27 Desert Love
Duan Shuai asked again, and Yu Xuzi made it clear: "The alliance leader probably doesn't know that there is a love flower in the world, which has the effect of reviving the dead, and it will definitely be able to save Miss Lu." Duan Shuai's heart beat faster, and he quickly grabbed the placket of Yu Xuzi's clothes and asked, "Where is the Liansheng Flower?" Take me there! ”
Yu Xuozi looked embarrassed at this time, and he got up, Duan Shuai asked again and again, only then did he know that the love flower grows in the bitter cold polar region in the north, and it took a hundred years to give birth to one, and it will take another hundred years for this flower bone to bloom a fragrant flower. The bitter cold polar region is deserted, not to mention people, even ordinary plants cannot survive there, so since ancient times, there are very few people who can pick love flowers.
There are very few, which means that there are still people who have found them. Although Duan Shuai was disappointed for a while, as long as there was hope, he still couldn't give up, after all, this woman was much more important than his life. He could die a thousand times, ten thousand times, but he could never let this woman suffer a little wound for him. Even though now she died for him.
But now this is Mengshan, which is the Xichuan Basin. How far away is the bitter cold polar region? When he got there, Lu Yu's bones were already gone. Duan Shuai lowered his head again, as if he was unwilling to accept such a fact. At this time, Yu Xuzi took out a pill from his arms and said: "This is the Ice Spirit Cold Star Pill, put this pill in Miss Lu's arms, it can ensure that Miss Lu's body will not rot for several months, but it will not wake up, so, alliance leader, let's hurry up and get on the road!" ”
Without further ado, Duan Shuai ran into the distance like crazy. What kind of place is the bitter cold polar region, he can't imagine, but it is by no means a place that can be so easy for him to obtain the love flower. He only has one belief now, which is to save Lu Yu, and other than that, he can't care about anything else.
Looking at Duan Shuai in the distance, a trace of an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of Yu Xuzi's mouth, and no one could see through what was contained in this smile. Duan Shuai bandaged Lu Yu's wounds, and then ran towards the north non-stop, if you want to reach the bitter cold polar region, you must pass through the desert. The great desert that spanned thousands of miles became an insurmountable chasm in Duan Shuai's life, and no one would ever be able to cross the entire desert alive.
But Duan Shuai had to break through this trip, and he did it non-stop. Passing through the desert, you must pass through Xue Lihan's Qiyue City, you must know that the entire Mobei is the world of Qiyue City. Everywhere the Moon Villa goes, the prestige of not growing a single inch of grass has been resounding in the high sky of Mobei, and it has been endless for a hundred years.
Duan Shuai and Lu Yu had been walking in the desert for more than half a month, and after replacing the old horse and all the coils on his body with camels, he could hold on for so long. But if you want to cross the desert, it's still far away. He licked his chapped lips, touched the last packet of water on the camel's back, and then withdrew his hand again. He didn't dare to drink the water, because he knew that if he drank this bag of water, he would not be far from death. He can die thousands of times, but at this time, he is Lu Yu's last hope, so he must not fall at this time.
The eyes gradually began to become a little misty, as if there was an oasis in front of them, but such a scene had been seen many times after entering the desert, and each time it was a mirage, and it would never come to naught. Duan Shuai gritted his teeth and tried hard not to let himself go to see that oasis, he knew that there would be no disappointment without hope, on the edge of life and death, faith is so important to a person!
But as time passed, the oasis in front of me became more and more obvious, and it was obvious that the mirage I saw this time was different from the looming appearance of the past, and it seemed to be much more real. Duan Shuai shook his head vigorously and blinked his eyes a few times, only then did he determine that there was a small city in front of him! He poured the remaining half packet of water into Lu Yu's mouth, and even if he couldn't drink it, he could feel the moisture of the water. Then put an empty water bag underneath to catch the water left from above, and after repeating it several times, I dared to bring the remaining water to my mouth and take a sip gently.
Looking at Lu Yu's delicate face, Duan Shuai's heart was like a knife, how good it would have been if he hadn't been so reckless at the beginning! The camel seemed to have come to the spirit after seeing the oasis, and his footsteps were also faster, Duan Shuai could only barely chase after him, in order to maintain his physical strength, he would definitely not use his internal strength easily. After walking for a long time, I finally came to this town before sunset.
There are three words written on the head of the city, but they are not in the Central Plains font, and Duan Shuai does not read many books, let alone know these words. But since you're here, you must prepare enough food here before you set off. Duan Shuai led the camel to fill the kettle and water bag with water by a winding river, and let the camel drink beautifully for a while, and then entered the city.
The city is completely different from that of the Central Plains, because there is no soldier at the door, and it is obviously not afraid of outsiders breaking in. The city was populated by women dressed in white and men with their upper bodies exposed. The woman's headscarf wrapped her entire head, leaving only those bewildered eyes, and the man's beard could be compared to Duan Shuai at this time, because it was impossible to see what kind of face had grown under the beard.
There are many buyers and sellers on the street, and there are many jugglers running around the rivers and lakes, and the most common one is the black gauze woman doing manual work in the stall. The eye sockets of these women are deeply sunken inward, and they seem to be very deep, and they don't know how many thoughts and stories are hidden inside. Their hands are very skillful, and they thread needles and threads like treasures.
The men of the blacksmith shop were naked, with only a small piece of linen hanging from the crotch of their trousers. It must have been too hot, and he had been dealing with the fire all day, so he couldn't get dressed at all, and when he put it on, he was immediately soaked, so it was better to take it off. Everyone didn't think it was strange to see Duan Shuai walking into the city, because Duan Shuai at this time didn't look any different from them, they all had a full face and beard.
Duan Shuai found a restaurant and sat down, and after settling the camel and Lu Yu, he asked for a few side dishes, wanting to satisfy his hunger. It wasn't until he ordered food that he realized that although the people here were not Han, they all knew Chinese, especially those who were doing business, and they spoke Chinese very authentically. Duan Shuai smiled at the shopkeeper and asked, "I said, this big brother, why are you so proficient in the Central Plains language?" Could it be that people from the Central Plains often come here to do business? ”
Although the races are different, but the shopkeepers in the whole world are the same, the shopkeepers laughed and said: "The guest officials don't know, we are not all Uyghurs here, there are many powerful dignitaries here who are Han, and their number in Sablan City will definitely not be less than that of the Uyghurs." If you want to get money from them, don't you have to learn Chinese! ”
Duan Shuai suddenly realized, thinking that there were Han people here, he suddenly became much kinder, and asked again: "Big brother, you lie... Does any Lancheng have a king? Could it be that he is also Han? The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Yes, yes... It's just that... As he spoke, he straightened his back and stretched out his right hand, tapping his fingers in the air. Duan Shuai was secretly angry when he saw this, but he didn't keep silent, took out some broken silver, and handed over one of them.
The shopkeeper then smiled and said, "Of course there is, but we don't call it the king here, we call it Tusi, it's the city lord that you Han people say." Duan Shuai has always lived in the Central Plains, and he is indeed a little unclear about the customs of the desert, but he still asked with a smile: "Oh? It seems that you Han people and Uyghurs live in harmony here! ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Shhh Don't say such things. In our place, the Han people are much more noble than the Uyghurs! "Why is that?" Duan Shuai didn't understand. Dian Xiaoer continued: "In the past, we only had Uyghur people here, and our toast was also Uyghur people, more than a hundred years ago, there was a large group of Han people, these Han people are not only strong in martial arts, but also witty, and now the toast master is Han!" ”
Duan Shuai realized at this time, and was about to ask who this toast master was, when the guest officer at the next table shouted and called the shopkeeper away. Duan Shuai thought about it and felt that he was nosy, so he had to give up. After eating this meal, Duan Shuai went to the street to buy another month's worth of dry food, and set off again the next day.
This city didn't seem to be big, but after walking for a whole day and not going out, Duan Shuai saw that the camel's feet were a little tired, so he led the camel to a waterside to drink. He also massaged Lu Yu by the way to prevent her from stiffening. The camel was drinking water, and suddenly a burst of sword qi fell from the sky, and no one could see who sent this sword qi clearly, only to see that the camel was split in half in an instant, and the flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and dry food and water were scattered all over the ground.
Duan Shuai stood up abruptly and looked around, he was glad that he had just picked up Lu Yu from the camel. But there was no one around. At this moment, Lu Yu, who was lying beside him, suddenly grabbed Duan Shuai's wrist. Slowly opened his eyes. Duan Shuai was taken aback, no matter how big the disaster was, Duan Shuai would not be afraid, but at this time, Lu Yu's sobriety really surprised Duan Shuai.
Duan Shuai squatted down excitedly and asked tremblingly, "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu? Lu Yu opened his eyes in a trance, but looked at Duan Shuai noncommittally, as if he didn't know what was going on. Duan Shuai excitedly hugged Lu Yu, but Lu Yu said with a somewhat hasty face: "Quick, let me down." Who are you? ”
This question caught Duan Shuai a little off guard, Duan Shuai looked at Lu Yu with wide eyes, and asked, "Xiao Yu, I'm Brother Duan!" Lu Yu broke free of Duan Shuai's arm, jumped down and said, "What Brother Duan?" I don't know you! Duan Shuai was a little surprised, he didn't know what was going on.
At this moment, a person gradually came from behind him, this person was holding a black water sword, all dressed in a black gauze crescent robe, eight feet tall, and had an indifferent temperament. The roots of Duan Shuai's ears moved, and he clearly heard that this person's steps were steady, his breathing was even, and his martial arts were by no means below him. Duan Shuai picked up Lu Yu, jumped up, and then turned around and asked, "Who are you... Before he could ask what word was, he was stunned, this person was actually Xue Lengfeng!
Xue Leng is sealed here, so is this the legendary Qiyue City! Duan Shuai's back was sweating, and at this time, Lu Yu wanted to push him away again, but he couldn't exert his strength, so he had to open his mouth and bite down. The women in the desert have always been very individual, although Lu Yu has always been docile, but if she doesn't know the person in front of her, then now his actions have undoubtedly violated her bottom line.
