Chapter 159: Lost in the Desert
Ever since he took the old man, Xiao Jin has been sullen.
He was not unhappy for anything else, but knew that the old man was obviously deliberately making things difficult for He Lang, but He Lang still looked like he was willing to be enslaved.
Xiao Jin's psychic often finds some unnecessary troubles for himself, and when a few people were resting halfway that day, he hurriedly whispered to He Lang: "Brother, that old man is deliberately cheating, and there are many lies along the way, don't fall for him again." ”
Although Xiao Jin didn't know why the old man wanted to deceive He Lang, he saw that although the old man didn't have a word of truth in his mouth, he was not a big villain, so he kept patient.
Until the old man even sat on the horse and asked He Lang to hold on to him, he couldn't bear it anymore, it was obviously bullying.
"Xiao Jin, he is just an old man, it must be that no one around him has always cared about him, he has become like this, since he has been touched by us, he can help, it is nothing, and it is the most important thing to reach the destination safely. ”
Although He Lang also found that the old man seemed to be relying on himself, these were still within the range he could bear, thinking that he had also been killed and rescued by an old couple who had lived in plain life, and it was logical for him to save others.
Xiao Jin saw that He Lang didn't complain at all, so he didn't say a word and didn't make trouble for himself, but he was halfway, as long as he had the opportunity to meet the old man's eyes, he would glare at the other party fiercely.
And that old man is even more hateful, every time he is glared at by Xiao Jin, he grins at him.
This made Xiao Jinhuo hit him even more, and his stomach was full of anger.
The two sisters didn't have any ideas, they had a better and better impression of He Lang along the way, and the eyes that looked at He Lang were full of reverence.
The two didn't expect that this person who met by chance would treat people so gently, and they firmly believed that their decision to leave Momu Valley could not be more correct.
In this way, several people went to the green city without stopping.
The horses they were riding were all good horses, and they walked much faster than when they came, and although they were carrying two men on one horse, their speed did not slow down, and so they reached Greentown two days later.
As soon as they arrived in Greentown, He Lang took a few people to rush directly to the post station where they stayed for one night, and when they inquired, they learned that Bai Hao and the others had indeed not returned.
And Bai Hao's other guys in the post station are very busy every day, they are doing commodity trading in the market every day, selling the goods they brought, and recovering the items they want to take away.
On the night they arrived in Greentown, He Lang found Bai Hao's son.
Bai Hao's son is called Bai Shao, twenty-seven or eight years old, and Bai Hao has been walking the road of Greentown for nearly eight years, and he is also Bai Hao's right-hand man.
After He Lang sat down, he told the white boy in detail what they had encountered in the forest.
After hearing this, Bai Shao was very shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "He Gongzi, is my father really okay?"
"Yes, there were more than a dozen demon beasts at that time, and I later lured them all away, your father should have escaped the catastrophe, and they will be back in the next few days. ”
After that, He Lang said again: "Brother Bai, I still have a lot of important things in the Central Plains Continent, and I want to go back first, but I want to ask you for something." ”
He Lang told the white boy that he wanted to borrow three camels, and promised to return the original when he went back.
The white boy saw that the other party was really in a hurry to leave, so he agreed, and they didn't have too many goods to go back, and it was not difficult to free up the three heads.
In this way, early in the morning of the second day, He Lang took the two sisters, Xiao Jin and the old man on the road together.
He Lang got the road map of the desert from the white boy, although he was not sure that he could get out of the desert with his own ability, but when he thought about it, there were three and a half people besides himself, even if there was a deviation, it shouldn't be too outrageous.
Half of the three and a half people were the old man who had been in a daze all the way, and as soon as he arrived in the desert, the old man kept leaning on He Lang and snoring, looking like he couldn't wake up.
Xiao Jinxing was by He Lang's side, and he couldn't find a punching bag if he wanted to get angry.
However, He Lang completely overestimated himself and his teammates' ability to discern direction.
Because they had just walked in the desert for less than a day, they went off course because of a desert storm.
"He Gongzi, the direction and route we are taking now seem to be off!" Ruihua finally found the problem and drove the camel with his sister to He Lang's side.
He Lang also felt that there was a problem with the direction, so he hurriedly took out the map, looked at it seriously, and frowned while looking at it, he understood very clearly from Bai Shao that after leaving Greentown, he had been going east, and he could walk out of the desert after walking for more than sixty days.
And the white boy also told him that he would not be wrong if he looked at the direction of the sun.
But now that the entire desert was engulfed in sandstorms, and the sun had long been obscured by dark clouds, he could not tell exactly where he was going.
The old man had been sleeping, and he didn't care about them going in the wrong direction.
Xiao Jin is also similar to He Lang, he has no feeling for the direction at all, and when he sees the angry old man, he can't help it anymore.
"Brother, we are all in a hurry like this, you look at him, it's like having nothing to do with him, it's too much!"
"Okay, even we can't see the direction, an old man can't do anything, don't bother yourself. ”
Xiao Jin snorted coldly angrily, and rode his camel to the front, so he should be out of sight.
Only then did He Lang know that the five people in the group were all road blind, and he also found that he could not distinguish the direction when he was flying, but he was also blinded when walking in the desert.
After discussion, they decided to walk in the direction that they thought was east.
After three more days, the more people walked, the more panicked they became, and even Xiao Jin could see that something was wrong, because the desert was originally a golden yellow, but now the sand under their feet was getting darker and darker, and looking into the distance, the black sand that could not be seen appeared in front of them.
Several people did not dare to go any further, the map in their hands did not indicate anywhere that there would be black sand, and several people got off their camels and stood in place at a loss, let alone where to go.
Now in addition to not being able to walk in front, there are three directions to choose from, you can't go behind you, you must turn back along the road, and in the other two directions, they can't tell which side is correct.
He Lang really wanted to have a coin at this time, and tossed the front and back to fate, but except for the old man who didn't know what he was looking at, the other three all looked at him, obviously, he had become their backbone at the moment.
There was no way, he finally pointed in one side of the two directions, and several people got on the camel without any doubt, and went in the direction he pointed.
After walking for another three days, they felt even more strange, because the sand in front of them was getting redder and redder, and from a distance, it looked like a sea of blood.
After a few people saw it, they couldn't help but gasp, what the hell is this place!
Reluctantly, they changed direction again, and just like that, they walked in the desert, east and west.
Seven or eight days had passed, and they still didn't have a clue.
In the evening, a few people were resting by the fire, He Lang called Xiao Jin aside and said, "Xiao Jin, don't go with us tomorrow, you see if you can find a way out, if there is a way, you can leave first." ”
He Lang has consulted Xiao Jin several times, but the other party has not agreed, Xiao Jin feels that such a big desert, even if he can leave, it will be difficult to find it back, he doesn't want to be separated from He Lang, even if he is trapped in the desert together, he is willing.
"Brother, we will definitely go out, didn't Brother Bai say that even if you go in the wrong direction, you can still find Ruth?"
The white boy did tell He Lang that the road map he gave was the most recent one, but if he encountered an accident, even if he deviated, he could still get out of the desert, but the delay would be longer.
But at present, they are completely lost, and wherever they go, it is gloomy, and if they go on like this, there is no hope of going out at all.
Seeing that Xiaojin didn't leave, He Lang had no choice, in fact, he didn't want to part with the other party.
Let Xiao Jin go by himself, He Lang is really not at ease.
In the end, the result of the discussion between the two was to move forward together.
They walked in the desert day by day, and more than 20 days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Walking is nothing, but the drought and the occasional strong wind and sand make it difficult for a few people.
On this day, the five of them were advancing, and a gust of wind swept the yellow sand towards several people, and they now have experience in defending against wind and sand, and as soon as this situation comes, several people will get down from the camels, surround the camels, and then the five people will lean together, and when the wind and sand pass, they will often be buried in half of their bodies.
But this way no one will be blown away by the strong wind, and it is relatively safe.
However, this time the wind was surprisingly strong, and under the raging sand, all sides became a dark yellow, and the swishing wind blew fiercely from all directions to several people.
The three camels, under the raging wind, broke free of the ropes that held them and ran away without a trace.
Some of their food and water were on the camels, and this time they suffered heavy losses, and the camels lost their runaways made it even more difficult for them to walk.
And this time the wind has been blowing, and there is no sign of stopping at all, and several people take advantage of the fact that the wind is a little lighter, and they support each other and walk forward.
In the desert filled with sand, five figures moved forward with difficulty, and from time to time someone would step on the sand pit and fall.
In such a difficult environment, they are still walking with difficulty.
Suddenly, a green dot flew in the distance, getting closer and closer, and finally they realized that it was a huge disk.
The huge disc spun uncontrollably over the heads of several people, but it did not fall, and the wind and sand brought up by the rotation, mixed with the already raging sandstorm, forced several people to stand completely unstable, and they all fell to the ground one by one.
The raised sand particles floated in the air, and they did not fall for a long time, and He Lang's mouth was wide open in surprise, and he was still covered with flying sand grains.
The green disc was teased enough before it slowly descended, and He Lang recognized at a glance that one of the people on the disc was the yellow-haired girl who had thrown herself in the cellar before.
"Haha, how are you doing these days? Do you think you can run if you want to?" An old voice came, full of confidence and extremely arrogant laughter.
He Lang looked at it, it was an old woman of seventy or eighty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was staring viciously in her direction.
In addition to the yellow-haired girl beside her, there was also the yellow-faced man she met on the way out of the valley, and a few middle-aged men who had never met.
There were a total of eight people standing on the disc.
