The two were lying side by side, with the yellow sand behind them.

Listening to the intoxicating muttering, this time, Haruka didn't refute his words, just stubbornly moved over, hugged his body, and wanted to drag her up, but her strength was almost exhausted.

Shen Rendrunk stared at Yao'er quietly and gently, and said slowly: Yao'er, don't waste any more energy...... Do you know?

Well?

Yao'er was a little embarrassed by Shen Ren's drunken scorching eyes, and lowered her head.

Shen Ren sat up weakly, raised his hand slightly, stroked Yao'er's cheeks that were a little rough from the sand, and said weakly: Do you know, I think...... I like you.

Haruka wanted to laugh, but she just grinned, feeling a pain in her lips, and her cheeks were numb and she couldn't laugh anymore.

It's true.

Shen Rendrunk closed his eyes and said softly: I have never cared about a person like this, I care about her, I miss her, I like to know her affairs, I like to inquire about her, I like to look at her, I like to think about her......

Shen Renzui said this, opened his eyes slightly, stared at Yao'er, and said softly: This is probably like someone. Yao'er, do you have ...... Like me, a little?

Haruka nodded, nodding vigorously.

Shen Ren laughed drunkly.

The face covered with dust smiled like a quietly blooming epiphany, quiet and handsome.

Shen Renzui turned his head slightly, looked at the gray sky, and then turned to Yao'er. Staring at her cheeks, his fingers lightly rubbed her cracked cheeks, and said in a low voice: We are really going to die here. I have no relatives, no friends...... Luckily, and you like me, you really like me, right?

Yao'er nodded vigorously, her throat and eyes choked, and the corners of her eyes were hot.

Shen Rendrunk sighed reassuringly, and said softly: I can't do it. Go on your own, hopefully...... You can get out. All I beg you ...... Don't bury me when I'm dead, I'd rather be a human or a beast...... Eat into your stomach...... I'm afraid...... I'm really scared...... Black......

Under the dunes. Shen Ren fell asleep drunk.

In the past few days, in fact, he has never fallen asleep, and when he completely gives up, the inner demon will no longer work. He has come to terms with death.

He just fell asleep. There was still a faint breath, but he probably never woke up from this sleep.

Yao'er held him tightly in her arms, wanting to cry without tears.

I don't know when, the wind changed direction, Haruka didn't notice it, and she didn't have the will to go out, if the two of them were destined to die in this hellish place. Then let them die together.

Call! Call! Call!

In the whimpering wind, it is boring and monotonous. With a chill.

The wind seemed to soften and hit her face with a faint coolness.

It's not cold, it's really a chill.

Yao'er gently wiped her cheek with the back of her palm, feeling a touch of astringent wetness, did I cry? Yao'er raised her face, and another piece of something stuck to her cheek, quickly turning into a wet mark, Yao'er was stunned, stunned for a long time, and suddenly climbed up the sand dune with his hands and feet.

Haruka panted and climbed the sand dunes, the wind was blowing, and it was cool! It's really cool, wet and wet!

A snowflake hit her face again, and Haruka stroked her cheek and suddenly burst out laughing.

She laughed, rolled backwards, rolled down the sand dunes with a grunt, rushed to Shen Renzui's side, and shouted: Intoxicating! It's snowing! It's snowing! We've come to the edge, let's get out! Shen people are drunk?

Shen Ren's drunken body seemed to be frozen, and even though Yao'er shouted loudly, he still didn't move, his consciousness was already asleep, except for an imperceptible wisp of breath, he was no different from a corpse now.

Yao'er patted his frozen face and shouted: Shen Ren is drunk! Shen people are drunk!

Shen Rendrunk still didn't have any reaction, he was extremely hungry, thirsty, and sleepy, he no longer had to worry about the fear of not having food, he wanted to sleep forever in a world without hunger.

Snow, it's really coming.

As it fell, some snowflakes were blown by the wind and swept into the valley, which was not much, but brought hope.

But Shen Ren was drunk and still didn't wake up......

Shen Ren fell asleep drunk.

He no longer felt cold, hunger, thirst, or fear. In his dream, he vaguely returned to his carefree childhood, and he happily chased the chickens in the yard, causing them to run around with their chirps.

Grandpa chased after him with a bowl of hot porridge, scolding him with laughter and anger, asking him to stop eating, he suddenly smelled a burst of aroma, and immediately felt hungry, so he obediently stopped.

The porridge was so fragrant and sweet, and he held the bowl and swallowed it in his mouth, when suddenly a large number of locusts flew to the sky, and the earth cracked, and the trees gnawed away, and suddenly there was not a drop of porridge left in the bowl, and the whole courtyard was dilapidated and empty......

No!

Shen Renzui screamed and opened his eyes, and then, he found that he was still lying in the cold desert, lying in Yao'er's arms, Yao'er was half-squatting, holding him, and her wrist was against his mouth, Shen Rendrunk felt a fishy sweet taste in his mouth, that was ...... The taste of blood.

You...... You......

Shen Rendrunk suddenly understood: She was saving me! She cut her own wrist and saved me with her blood!

When Yao'er saw him wake up, he said in surprise: Shen Ren is drunk! We are saved! We're on the edge! Look, look, it's snowing, there really are snowflakes!

Shen Renzui didn't look at the sky at all, nor did he feel if there were snowflakes, he hugged Yao'er into his arms, and then cried loudly.

The cry was heartbreaking.

He's not afraid of death, really isn't afraid.

He's not afraid of hunger, really isn't afraid.

What he fears is the kind of family affection and humanity that have been completely extinguished under the dying of death and hunger!

In that hunger, man became a wild beast, and man ate man, even his own relatives. He could not forget the helplessness, fear, sadness, and despair he felt when his father pushed him into the dry well.

That scene became an unconquerable demon in his heart. It has been buried deep in his heart!

At this moment, the demon in his heart was finally completely wiped out by Yao'er's blood, and the ice in his heart finally melted. These are tears of joy and tears, tears of heart knots that are finally untied, and the heavy burden that weighs on his heart is finally freed.

He cried to death, as if all these years of suffering were pouring out at this moment......

The exhausted two men stood up again, supported each other, and walked in the direction the snowflakes were coming.

In fact, there are two things that Yao'er doesn't understand.

One is that her blood can't quench Shen Ren's thirst. It's not that people are used to thinking that blood contains salt, but how much salt is in the blood, and more than 90 percent of it is water. The problem is that unless you cut your arteries and pour all the blood you have all over your body into someone else, that amount of water is simply not enough to save a person's life.

But. Shen Rendrunk actually collapsed mainly because of his will. When the hot plasma woke him up, when he saw that Yao'er was willing to give up his life for him, his heart knot was untied, and he had the will and courage to survive.

The second thing that Yao'er didn't know was that 100,000 Qiu Ming was not a desert, and this mysterious place hidden in the depths of the prairie was not forever snowing, and the area where the snow fell was not necessarily on its edge, but fortunately. They have indeed gone to the margins.

The two of them supported each other and walked for most of the night. The sand beneath his feet was white and covered with a layer of snow. They ate some snow, replenished their hydration and bodies, and continued on their way, and when both of them were almost unable to hold on, their feet were on solid ground.

In front of him was a piece of Gobi, and there was a felt tent on the Gobi, and two people fell on the soft snow almost at the same time, and the heart was immediately steady......

……

After the Tiger Gorge, it is the first pass of the Di people to invade the lonely bamboo in the south, there are 15,000 people in the garrison of the Evening Pavilion, of which 5,000 people are stationed in the Tiger Gorge, and the other 10,000 people are stationed in the Queen Mother Guard, there are two lakes in front of the Queen Mother Guard, there are two lakes in front of the Queen Mother Guard, and the Qingliu River is connected with the Gumo City.

There are two lakes in front of the queen mother's guard, the surrounding water and grass are very rich, and there are some small tribes belonging to the Great Qi to live here, so the Qi army extended the first line of defense to the Huben Gorge, unless a large group of Di people army arrived, otherwise a small group of troops or horse bandits could not enter from this and raid the border people.

Huben Gorge is a gap formed by the Helan Mountains stretching here, because the gap is larger, the mountains on both sides are relatively gentle so far, if you want to build a castle here to connect the two mountains, you need to use huge manpower and material resources, and spend a lot of financial resources, so there is no delay in building a castle here by leaning on the mountain, otherwise the first line of defense of Gumo would have been set up here.

There are military camps stationed in the two mountains of Huben Gorge, with 5,000 defenders, specially set up to deal with the small groups of Di tribes and horse bandits who came to raid and plunder, and the guard general is a young general, named Wu Xiaosheng, in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, with handsome eyebrows and three slight whiskers under his chin, looking personable and a little Confucian style.

At this moment, Wu Xiaosheng was holding his hands behind his back, suspiciously circling around the few Di people who were bound in front of him.

These people dressed as Di people are Gao Yuer, Mu Sina and He Xiaohe and others.

Gao Yu'er tied his hands behind his back, and said anxiously: General Wu, what we said is true, haven't you checked our waist card?

General Wu waved his hand and said: Whether you are really a scout of our army or not, we will know after Gu Molai confirms it, don't worry, before the truth is known, I will only restrict your freedom, and I will not treat you badly.

Gao Yu'er hurriedly said: The army of Di is traveling day and night, and it will arrive in an instant, they are all cavalry, not much slower than us, there is no danger to defend here, and the defenders have to retreat quickly to defend the queen mother's guard!

General Wu sneered twice and said, "Your waist card is not fake, but how do I know that you have not caught our scouts, pretending to be our people, and want to take General Ben away in order to rob the local herdsmen?" This general has the responsibility of defending the land, how can he listen to your words and abandon his duties?

Mu Sina paused and said: If General Lang is worried about this, he can immediately notify all the tribes and tribes to move back to the Queen Mother's Guard, these tribes are gone, what can we still loot if we are thieves?

General Wu rolled his eyes and said: Is it so easy for tribes to migrate? If the news is not true, who will appease and compensate the tribes? Who will respond to the boss's questioning? Who bears the responsibility for deserting without permission?

He Xiaohe is not a soldier, but no matter how old he is, he said angrily: Let your mother's bullshit go! We took such a big risk to send you the news, and you, the dog officer, are still suspicious, so aren't you afraid that the news is true, and when the Di army is overwhelmed, we will swallow you in one bite?

General Wu was furious, pointed at his nose and said, "Bastard, you dare to speak to Shangguan like this?"

He Xiaohe straightened his chest and said: Lao Tzu is not a soldier under you, where are you afraid?

Who are you?

Lao Tzu is a horse bandit!

Well?

General Wu's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and Gao Yu'er hurriedly said: A few of them were found by us to help.

General Wu said with a smile: Aren't you a scout? When did our scouts become so generous that they had the money to buy horse bandits?

Mu Sina rolled her eyes angrily, and said with a pause: We can't say these things clearly for a while. But I know that the Di army is coming soon, and if we don't retreat, it will be too late.

General Wu sneered: "Two days ago, General Ben Lang received news that Di Renren had indeed launched an attack on our border army!

Gao Yu'er's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: You already know?

General Wu smiled coldly. (To be continued......)
