Chapter 579: Wasteland in Distress
Shougu Mountain is the largest mountain in Jingzhou, the main mountain is located in the north of Jingzhou, and the branch vein is like an awl, crossing the border of Jingzhou and directly inserting into the boundary of the Northern Desert.
Because the border in this area is mostly desert and uninhabited, neither Tianyou nor the Northern Desert have set up a pass here. And this hundreds of miles of no-man's land is also a veritable death zone.
The gravel was a lifeless grayish-white color that spread to the sky, and there was not even a hint of green, except for the occasional cluster of rust-colored brambles. The blazing sunlight grilled the ground, as if even the air in front of me was distorted.
Looking at the scene in front of him, along the dangerous and dangerous path pointed out by Song Yu, Chu Feifei, who came out of Shougu Mountain, suddenly had a sense of collapse, let's go back.
Li Jie pursed his lips and stared at the desert in front of him in silence for a long time, and turned back to check whether the water in the water tank on the car was still enough.
Song Yu glanced at Chu Feifei, who was depressed, and said softly, "My lord? Shall we still go? ”
Chu Fei glanced at him resentfully: "If you don't leave, can you still go back?" Isn't it in vain that you have worked so hard in front of you? ”
Song Yu smiled, looked at the sun that was already in the west, and nodded: "Yes, let's rest for a while, and then we will rush sooner or later, and when the sun is the strongest, find a place to rest." ”
Li Jie, who had already checked the vehicle on the side, said in a deep voice at this time: "The desert here is not as calm as it seems, and you can't rush at night. There is only enough water in the car to last three days, and we must find the next water source in three days, or we will die of thirst in this desert. ”
Chu Feifei's face turned white, he looked back at the mountains that were still green because of the moisture of the mountain spring, and said with a sad face: "Then don't hurry up, I'm here to hunt for treasure, not to find death." ”
With a disturbing click, the donkey cart began to move on in the gravelly desert.
Song Yu and Li Jie sat in the car in front, and Chu Fei nestled in the back car.
The sun was hot, and the two people in front were in no mood to talk in order to save energy, and Chu Feifei in the carriage was also very quiet.
Walking in silence like this for about an hour, Li Jie couldn't help but look in from the small window of the carriage behind him, he didn't know what this woman was doing, she was so unusually quiet, he was a little unaccustomed.
In the carriage, Chu Feifei was lowering her head, tinkering with something, she sat sideways against the small window, an already delicate little face was more like a heart-warming work of art under the light and shadow, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes, making the pair of water blindfolds that often give people an innocent illusion, with a hint of melancholy.
Li Jie's heart seemed to be held by something, and all of a sudden, it beat so clearly that he couldn't ignore it, he forced himself to turn his eyes away and take a deep breath. The woman was right behind him, and the thought was like an inflated ball that filled his heart and made him involuntarily straighten up, as if this would shield the woman from more of the scorching sun.
As the sun approached the horizon, Liger stopped the donkey cart.
The heat in the desert was not as unbearable as it was at noon, but it was still a little unbearable.
"Get out of the car, we're ready to camp." Li Jie's face was a little stern.
Song Yu got out of the car and fetched some water to feed the donkey, and Chu Feifei and Li Jie picked up the dried thorns around them to make a fire.
In the storage box under the carriage, there is also some game caught in the mountains, salted, enough to last for a few days, so they don't need to worry about food. And according to Li Jie, it is only a few days away from the mysterious oasis where Xiaoyue Country is located.
When the sun struggled on the horizon for a while, and finally sank into the darkness helplessly, the bonfire of the three-person team also rose.
Half a rabbit was roasted on the fire, and the sound of oil dripping, accompanied by the unique aroma of barbecue, spread across the desert. Chu Feifei felt as if he had seen some black shadow in the corner of his eyes, but when he looked closely, he didn't find anything.
Li Jie noticed that Chu Feifei's expression was different, and said lightly: "It's just a desert gerbil, don't worry." ”
Mouse? Is there such a big mouse? Chu Feifei was suspicious, and his hand involuntarily touched the dagger in his arms.
Song Yu glanced at Chu Feifei, who was a little nervous, and then at Li Jie, who was pretending to be relaxed, frowned slightly, and then stood up.
Li Jie raised his eyes and said, "Why are you going?" Don't go far. ”
Song Yu snorted and walked away, not far, just picking up slightly larger stones on the ground as far as the light and shadow of the fire could reach.
"Hey, what is he going to do?" Chu Feifei said strangely.
Li Jie snorted lightly: "Don't worry about him, didn't you say something about the mystic heir?" If you want to save your life, there is always something to do. ”
Chu Fei glanced at Li Jie: "Hey, he is a hostage that Salvation Valley put here for me, if something happens to him, can Salvation Valley still willingly obey me?" ”
"What a hassle!" Li Jie complained, but turned his head to Song Yu and shouted, "Hey, the meat is ready, come and eat!" ”
Song Yu agreed: "I'll be fine soon, you eat first." ”
Li Jie ignored him, tore off the most tender piece of roasted meat, inserted it with an iron fork, and handed it to Chu Feifei.
Now this car is prepared by Salvation Valley, and it is very different from the broken car they wanted at the beginning. Now the bits and pieces of equipment on this car are really everything, and even the things that women want to change and wash are prepared Chu Feifei didn't understand what this thing was used for when he saw it at the time, until Song Yu explained very vaguely, Chu Feifei was really sweating on his forehead, and he was very glad that the technology of the twenty-fourth century, this uterine dormancy technology is simply the gospel of women.
Chu Feifei was gnawing on rabbit meat while watching Song Yu throw the picked up stones to the ground casually.
Which game is this played?
After Song Yu walked around the camp and fiddled with all the stones there, he approached the fire, I don't know why, Chu Feifei suddenly felt that at that moment, Song Yu's not tall figure seemed to be a foot taller. If you look closely, it's still the ordinary Song Yu, well, in fact, after the redness and swelling on people's faces have disappeared, they can be regarded as a beautiful little student.
"Well, I've eaten well, the rest is yours, eat more." Chu Fei forked a piece of rabbit meat and handed it to Song Yu.
Song Yu had already known that Chu Feifei was eating like a chicken in the past few days, and he didn't care, so he sat down and competed with Li Jie, and the two separated the half of the rabbit cleanly
