Chapter 100: Escape
When it was about to dawn, the wind spirit had just fallen asleep, and he was extremely sleepy, and he slept very deeply. www.biquge.info It wasn't until the stinging sunlight in the desert pierced her eyelids that she didn't wake up until the stinging sunlight in the desert pierced her eyelids.
Feng Ling slowly opened his eyes, adapting to the strong sunlight, Fu Yanyan was no longer around, and on the other felt on the side lay Gao Chang Xiaolang, who was rescued last night. The soldiers sat in place in twos and threes, surprisingly quiet. The feeling of fire burning in his throat made him reluctant to speak.
When a subordinate saw her wake up, he hurriedly stepped forward: "The captain has explored the way." ”
Feng Ling rubbed his eyes, bluffing and suddenly sobering up, "The captain doesn't know the stakes, and you don't know either?" Why don't you stop! How long has it been gone? In which direction did you go? Her heart burned in an instant, and she got up from the felt to chase after her.
Bu Qu hurriedly stopped her, "Don't worry, Auntie, take Ah Liu with you." ”
"Ah Liu went?" Feng Ling glanced at the rest of the trilogy, and sure enough, she didn't see the figure of Ah Liu, the Kang family's trilogy, so she stopped and sat back in a daze.
That part is not angry with the wind spirit, half of the people who explored the way in the desert will not come back once they go, thanks to Ah Liu, Ah Liu's seniority, Mohe Yanqi has also passed several times, Kang Dazhi specially lent him and the camel to the wind spirit, and he can always be trusted.
Although Ah Liu followed, Feng Ling couldn't be at ease after all, and sat and waited for a while, her eyes suddenly fell on the unconscious Gaochang Xiaolang, and she thought to herself: The Gaochang fugitives in the village live in seclusion in the big sand moraine, if the inside and outside are not connected, how can they survive? Rice, pasta, grain, cloth, utensils, and other things must be brought in from outside.
After thinking about it like this, she suddenly thought that after the battle last night, everyone was looking for water in the village, and one by one broke the empty water storage tanks that fell to the ground, and there was no big water source in the big sand moraine, and they were not allowed to transport it from outside? This Xiaolang is a person in the village, and he will definitely know the convenient way out of the big sand moraine.
The wind spirit seemed to find a glimmer of light in the thick darkness: if he could wake up and ask a good question, maybe there would be a way to get out of the big sand moraine. She almost threw herself at the little man's side, probed his pulse, and fortunately, although it was faint, she was still alive.
She carefully untied the cloth wrapped around his abdomen to examine the wound, but before the cloth was fully undone, a strong smell came to his nose, and he put down the cloth in discouragement, and then looked at his face was gray, and his lips were cracked one after another.
"I saw at dawn, this kid was burned all over, he was unconscious, if there was water, he could still save him, and now there was not a drop of water...... "I surrounded the two subordinates, and said regretfully: "I probably won't survive today." ”
Little by little, the hope that had just been ignited by the wind spirit disintegrated in the extremely dry air, and she buried her face in her knees, trying to calm down, but her heart became more and more irritated.
Until someone whispered, "Captain Yandu is back." Feng Ling raised his head suddenly, seeing the familiar figure getting closer and closer, his heart felt a little better, at least he was alive and well.
The old tribe Ah Liu helplessly spread his hands towards her, "I don't dare to go again, it's the same everywhere." ”
Feng Ling pondered for a moment, then looked back at Gao Chang Xiaolang, who was lying lifeless on the felt, "Kill a camel and feed him with camel blood, if he lives, he may be able to take us out of here." ”
Ah Liu looked at Feng Ling in surprise, not daring to say no, but his face was full of reluctance. "I raised all those big animals...... he muttered to himself, hanging his head.
"Just kill my family, the camel of the Kang family was borrowed by my brother, and it should be returned." The wind spirit responded.
"Auntie, auntie." "When I was at home, I heard that camels can find water, and if they are older, their brains are better than people's, but they will never forget the roads they have traveled and the water sources they have found. If that is the case, why don't we let these camels lead us in search of water? ”
"This is true, but I ran on a camel, and I couldn't find a way out." Ah Liu scratched his head and answered in embarrassment.
"Can we find a way out now?" Feng Ling smiled bitterly, "If you have water, you won't die, and you can't go out if you don't die." ”
At that moment, no one had any objections, and the wind spirit ordered people to support the little man to ride a camel together, and everyone got on the camel, let go of the reins, and watched with bated breath.
Forty camels wandered around the same place twice in a daze, and the unthinkable happened: out of the chaotic herd of camels, a slightly larger camel with a dull coat walked forward on its own, and the rest of the camels gradually approached and followed it in an orderly manner.
"Auntie!" Ah Liu happily turned his head towards Feng Ling and said, "The one who leads is the Qu Kui of the camel team!" ”
Feng Ling and Fu Yanyan looked at each other and smiled, and the soldiers and the other tribes also cheered up, and the situation was much better than Fang Cai's hopelessness.
In the middle of the day, the leading camel suddenly stopped and kept turning over the sand and gravel underneath. Ah Liu's face was glowing: "Everyone, come down and dig the ground!" There will be water at the bottom of this! ”
After digging for more than an hour, the color under the sand and stone really slowly deepened, and the wind spirit reached into half of his body, reached out to reach for a handful of sand underground, pinched it in his hand and rubbed it, and said happily: "Wet!" ”
When everyone heard this, they became more and more energetic, and dug down a little more, and some water seeped out of the sand little by little, and in a short time, a shallow small hole of clear water came out. The impatient government soldier leaned over and picked up a handful of water, buried his head in drinking, only took a sip, and then vomited to the side: "How can you eat this water!" ”
Several other soldiers also took a handful of them, and although the water was clear, it was salty and bitter, with the fishy smell of mud and sand, and it was difficult to swallow.
The tribes all laughed again, and Ah Liu quipped: "That's a hundred times better than sticky camel blood." So saying, he got out of his camel, and unhurriedly set up a pot and dug a stove, and dug a small fire pit in the sand. Then he beat most of the bitter water into a pot, and boiled it on the spot.
The wind spirit rummaged through his bag, and when the water in the pot was bubbling, he threw a handful of white objects into it. The government soldier looked at it and said suspiciously: "What is Gu Niangzi doing cooking soup cakes?" ”
Yuan Fengling threw a handful of sun-dried raw soup cakes into the pot, and the soldiers were puzzled, Ah Liu stirred the domestic soup cakes, and said with a smile: "Camels love salt, so the water source they find must be salty, they drink happily, but people can't drink it." The next handful of soup cakes is used to remove the saltiness from the water. ”
As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful of water from the pot and sniffed it close to his nose, "That's it." ”
Feng Ling didn't know where to find a clay bowl, scooped a bowl and handed it to Fu Yanyan first, and the rest of the people drank it, it was really not as astringent as Fang Cai, although it was still a little salty and bitter, but it could still be eaten. Everyone has been thirsty for a long time, and they don't care so much, they don't even care about hot mouths, and they drink it happily.
Ah Liu boiled two more pots to teach everyone to fill the water bladder, and then let the camels drink.
Feng Ling ordered someone to lift half of the lying Gaochang Xiaolang, took a bowl of cold water, and poured it in little by little, at first he was still groggy and clenched his teeth, unable to send the water, after teaching the water to moisten for a while, the instinct of survival made him slowly loosen his teeth, and the small half bowl of water was poured smoothly, but he still did not wake up.
I poured him three bowls of water in a row, and rested for a while, barely extinguishing the fire on his forehead. When the soldiers were digging a puddle, they dug out a few black scorpions, and the wind spirit's eyes lit up, and they threw the poisonous things with their teeth and claws into the salt water and boiled them thoroughly, beat them into mud and water, and fed them to him twice.
At dawn the next day, Feng Lingshou was sleeping in a ball beside Gaochang Xiaolang, and suddenly heard someone calling "sister" weakly in a daze.
She opened her eyes suddenly, but saw Gao Chang Xiaolang looking at her with his eyes open, confused.
The wind spirit jumped up from the ground, reached out and probed his forehead, which was no longer hot, and his face was not as gray and ugly as yesterday. She clasped her hands together and muttered to the sky in thanks.
"Sister, I'm thirsty." The little man was weakly begging for water from the wind spirit. The wind spirit hurriedly pulled out the skin bag and handed it over.
He drank enough in one go, his spirit recovered a lot, and his eyes gradually brightened. "Sister, how did you get here?"
Fengling Gaochang was not proficient in words, and gestured: "There is no water to eat, and the camel brought us here." ”
When I woke up, I heard the movement and came over to see. When the little man saw that he was emotional, he insisted on getting up, and said something quickly. Feng Ling listened for a long time, and then he barely listened: "He is probably grateful to you for killing the Turkic people for their village." ”
Fu Tanyan waved his hand, "You tell him that if he is truly grateful, he will quickly lead the way and lead us out of the big sand moraine." ”
The wind spirit passed the words to the little lang, and the little lang stood up and looked around. Everyone knew that the wind spirit had spent a lot of effort to save him, and they were counting on him to lead the way, and if he couldn't, his last hope would be gone.
Xiao Lang covered his wound and thought carefully, watching from time to time, all the eyes on the side were gathered on him, and his heart was raised to his throat. Feng Ling's hands clenched into fists tightly in his robe, and his palms were covered with cold, slippery sweat.
A look of clarity suddenly appeared on his face, and he nodded vigorously a few times, "I recognize this place, but I can go out in half a day." Hearing this, Feng Ling's whole body relaxed, and he didn't have time to spread it to others, his eyes were dark, and his body slid down softly.
The last voice I heard in my ears was Fu Yanyan calling her name anxiously and hoarsely, as if it was mixed with the shouts of the trilogs "Auntie, Auntie". Feng Ling was saying in his head, "I'm fine, but I'm tired, let me sleep." But before she could say the words, the familiar aura on her body swept her whole body into a peaceful and reassuring situation, her eyelids were heavy, she was powerless to move again, and let herself sink in his embrace.
When she opened her eyes again, the yellow wind and sand around her were no longer visible, and there was a sharp soreness in her hand, and she subconsciously wanted to wave her hand but was firmly held down.
"Don't move, the healer is sticking a needle for you." A mellow and calm voice sounded above her head, she lifted her eyelids and looked sideways, and the golden brown eyes of Fu Yan were above her, staring at her burningly, and the deep sunken eye sockets lined his eyes deeper and deeper, and the wind spirit looked at it for a while, but obediently did not move, and followed the healer to put needles in her hands.
After a while, the doctor said respectfully: "The official family can rest assured, the lady is just overworked for a while, and she has lost her strength, but fortunately, her body and bones are excellent, and she will be raised for a while, and it will not hinder anything." ”
Fu Tanyan personally sent the healer out, Feng Ling sat up from the low couch and leaned against it, heard him in front of the house and instructed someone to go to the hospital to get a prescription and grab medicine, turned around and went back to the room, sat down on the edge of her bed, and shook her hand.
"Is there the businessman who went to see my brother? Is cottonseed available? Feng Ling asked in a loud voice, "Cottonseed doesn't wait for anyone, I'll just take a break, I don't need you to accompany ......."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Fu Yanyan's face leaning over, so close that her eyelashes were clearly visible, and her heart suddenly tightened, forgetting what she was going to say next, and she couldn't even say a whole sentence. His warm snort sprayed on her face, baking her until she felt herself soften into a puddle of sugar water.
The wind spirit closed his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, waiting for the next breath to come. However, one breath, two breaths, three breaths, the expected kiss lingering did not come as scheduled.
He left her slowly, got up from the couch, and sat down in a high chair beside her. Feng Ling opened his eyes, pressed his hand to the heart that was beating in his chest, and looked at him in astonishment.
"The cottonseed has been purchased, just wait for you to wake up, and you will be ready to go back to Shazhou." Fu Yanyan staggered his eyes, and suddenly talked about cottonseeds, but his expression was a little uncomfortable, as if he was deliberately covering up the instantaneous loss of control. "That Hu Shang heard that you arrived in Xizhou, and ordered someone to send a post over, about to feast you, you have just woken up, and your body is not convenient, if you don't want to go, I will thank him for you."
"Never." Feng Ling exclaimed, and his attention really turned out from Fang Cai's embarrassing, half-way intimacy, and said: "My good captain, don't go back to him, if you return to him, you will break my big deal." What about posts? I'll take a look. ”
Fu Tanyan took out a greeting note and handed it over, Feng Ling took it and took a rough look, and suddenly said to Fu Tanyan: "I accompanied you through Mohe Yanmo, you accompanied me to the banquet, how about it?" ”
Fu Yanyan was stunned, and then replied briskly: "Okay." ”
The two said goodbye for a while, and Fu Yanyan told Feng Ling that Gaochang Xiaolang had extended the medicine, and the doctor said that fortunately, the whole scorpion soup was used on the road, and it was so good that it was fast, and the wound began to collect water and scab. I found a servant who knew the Gaochang dialect in this post house to interpret, and that village was originally the king of Gaochang, and he did not pay the rent to avoid going to the big sand moraine, although he knew that Xizhou had been covered by the Tang Dynasty, he didn't dare to move back, and only lived by domesticating camels in the big sand moraine.
"Now that his clan has no relatives, he will stay in Xizhou to make a living in the future?" Feng Ling asked, he had a selfish intention, if he is willing to stay in Xizhou to live, she is about to employ people in her shop, this little man is used to walking on the sand moraine and is good at discerning the direction, it is better to collect the part, a little practice, or a capable one in the future.
Fu Yanyan shook his head: "He didn't want to stay in Xizhou, he sent the servants of the post house to beg me, saying that he was willing to return to the camp with me." It's just that he wasn't compiling it originally, and he didn't have a register to follow, so it wasn't easy to do. After thinking about it, I will ask Han Menglai to help ......"
Feng Ling immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Captain Han is not confused in his recent years, he has no home or room, if he has an eye, it is good to accept him as an apprentice, or as a moth, and he will always have a companion." ”
After talking for a while, a servant woman outside the door came to invite Feng Ling to bathe and eat, she took her arm and got up slowly: "I have lived in a lot of Didian Inn, and my family's Qiyue Residence is not more than Erer, but this official family's big post house, but I have always seen little knowledge, today I thank you, but I want to be a good student."
