Walk through the Great Desert
When they arrived at the pass, Chu Ying and Ji Qiu separated from them and moved in other directions, Chu Ying was going to a more dangerous place, although she didn't know where to go, but Ji Qiu said that she was always facing north, and when she heard the sound of fighting, it should be the battlefield.
But the further north the climate becomes, the drier it becomes, Chu Ying, who has not eaten a drop of water for 2 days, has chapped lips, a little headache, and some dizziness, checks the sand, and after confirming that there are no dangerous animals around, he covers the tent cloth on a dry shrub, digs out some of the sand under the tree, and uses wood to remove the hot sand on the surface.
Slowly lying on the ground, feeling the coolness, took out the water bag and moisturized his lips a little, this water bag was only a quarter left, Chu Ying endured the thirst for water in her heart, and tied the water bag back to her waist.
Before seeing the water source, Chu Ying didn't plan to drink all the life-saving water, and this water was also the courage to persevere.
Chu Ying covered the sand next to her body, only revealing her face, and fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes again, I saw the stars in the sky.
At this moment, Chu Ying was a little confused, I don't know if I really crossed over, or if it was just a dream, the temperature at night was finally not so high, Chu Ying moved her somewhat numb hands and feet, and slowly crawled out of the sand pit.
If walking in the hot daytime will lose more water, Chu Ying shook the camel on one side awake, straddled the camel's neck, and shouted at the camel to get up. The camel was exchanged for a horse and three gold leaves.
Only on the verge of death will know better what they want, fame, fortune and money are simply small and terrible in front of life, so Chu Ying only seeks food and clothing, not luxury.
Walking all the way in the general direction of the north, looking at the cakes in the backpack that were about to dry to slag, Chu Ying broke some and put them in her mouth as she walked, and did not swallow them in a big gulp because of her hungry stomach.
Her body was already dehydrated, and digesting food would consume a part of the water, and Chu Ying didn't want to drink to quench her thirst.
On the fourth day, Chu Ying finally saw a small oasis in front of her, and after looking from a higher place on the higher sand dunes, and confirming that it was not a mirage, Chu Ying took a big sip of water, but did not swallow it all at once, but moistened her mouth and swallowed it slowly.
No matter how hungry and thirsty Chu Ying was, he didn't have the idea of beating a camel, because the camel's perception of water sources is stronger than that of humans, and without the help of camels, Chu Ying estimated that he would have to walk for 0 days on his legs alone.
But before she reached that oasis, Chu Ying heard loud scolding and bitter begging for mercy.
Chu Ying bypassed the gaze of the group of people on the oasis and walked behind them.
Because they were reprimanding a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, they didn't find Chu Ying coming from behind.
Chu Ying didn't understand what they were saying, but looking at their outfits, they didn't look like soldiers, they were probably horse thieves robbing everywhere.
When Chu Ying and Ji Qiu were separated, they were told many times to pay attention to the horse thieves they might encounter along the road, Chu Ying was penniless, the most valuable thing was this camel, and this young man looked at the three-dimensional facial features, his eyes were deep, and he was quite exotic, he should not be Han, it was better not to get involved for no reason.
Chu Ying slowed down and walked towards the stream formed by the spring, thinking about taking water and leaving immediately, her eyes kept staring at the five big men and the child in front of her, and she slowly leaned down without making a sound.
But the young man seemed to have discovered himself, and while continuing to beg for mercy, he said to Chu Ying in Chinese: "Help me, please help me." ”
This young man can also speak Chinese, and Chu Ying feels that this young man still has some use value. In case you meet someone of a different race, you can also use him as an interpreter.
But when Chu Ying turned around to put the water bag away, the young man behind him shouted, "You can't leave if you don't save me." Chu Ying originally planned to save this young man, but as soon as he said this, Chu Ying became interested.
Turning around and leaning against the trunk of the tree, he looked at the young man who was being pushed by everyone, and the young man's stubborn little face stared at him with a pair of bright eyes.
A big man pushed the boy to the ground, shouting something. The young man who had been obedient grabbed the soil on the ground and threw it at the big man.
Originally, the crowd was just joking and pulled up the thick hemp rope on the young man's hands and feet, and straightened the young man's hands and feet. Chu Ying watched as the thick and powerful fist was about to hit the young man, Chu Ying pulled out the arrow in his quiver, and quickly shot out with his bow.
The leader was slightly startled when he saw the bone wrench in his hand breaking in response to the sound, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a beautiful young man standing with a bow behind him, seeing that the costume was a Han man, and he didn't know when this young man appeared and didn't make the slightest movement.
The leader pulled the boy on the ground up, muttered a word, and nudged him to tell him to relay.
He said. If you want to die, you will hand over the camel and all your belongings. It can also spare you a dog's life. Run away, you can't beat them. Looking at the slight blood on the corner of the young man's mouth, and the chin raised to the sky, Chu Ying was very curious, was this really what the leader wanted him to relay? It seems that what he said is a little bit out of line with his complexion.
"Tell them that I am willing to exchange gold for you, and although I don't understand your language, I don't think what you just said is true."
Chu Ying didn't believe that this boss would skip the interrogation and directly hand over his things, which was not in line with the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the leader said about two short sentences, but the young man said two big words.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and carefully looked at Chu Ying in front of him, who had chapped lips, greasy hair, and a thin face as if she had crawled out of the sand.
Chu Ying watched the young man quarrel with them fiercely for a few words, feeling like he was talking about conditions, "Aren't they willing to sell you?" The boy looked like a slave servant bound with thick hemp rope, which should be worthless in such troubled times.
Chu Ying wanted to go up and have a good talk, but was held by the person next to her with a knife across her neck, "Boy, have you said it well?" ”
"Run away, they don't just want money, they want everything, let's go." Chu Ying saw that the young man desperately grabbed the others who rushed over, and dodged the oncoming big knife.
Although Chu Ying avoided everywhere, but the five people were swordsman, and they looked like they would not stop if they didn't take their lives, Chu Ying took out the big knife on his waist, resisted the knife formation that was slashing towards him, and took the opportunity to cut off the hemp rope on the young man's hands and feet.
Finding a gap in the fight, he pulled the boy and ran towards the camel, defending himself and retreating.
When he saw that the boy had climbed onto the camel, he hooked the reins of the camel with one foot and shot his arrows at the five men who were running. When the camel got up, Chu Yingren was in mid-air, and he got on the camel's back with a swing.
"Tell them not to chase again, or to be merciless." The leader just wanted to catch up, only to see that the arrow shot by Chu Ying was extremely fast and powerful, which caught people off guard, but fortunately, the arrow just passed by his face, if it hit his forehead, I am afraid that he would not have had a chance to speak for a long time.
Just now, the young man's archery skills have been taught, looking at the two people who are gradually moving away, the leader stopped everyone, and touched the blood that oozes slightly from his cheeks, if he doesn't want to let himself go, then this arrow will shoot straight to the brain.
Chu Ying looked at the few people who didn't catch up again, took a long breath, and put the bow and arrow away.
"Look at you very good, why have you been chased and beaten by them for so long, and you haven't shot yet?" Looking at the disdainful young man, Chu Ying smiled indifferently.
"You can bully people if you don't have high martial arts, I don't offend people if they don't offend me, they know I'm Han when they see me, and they are malicious when they listen to you, so they attack me because of you, not because of me. Is it really good to have scheming like this at a young age? ”
Adan Duye looked at Chu Ying behind him who was about the same age as himself, but there was an indescribable desolation in his eyes, like the indifference that only an old man who has experienced most of his life.
