Chapter 42: Through the Desert
"Hanquan, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't said goodbye to my father and queen mother yet? Yueru pouted and said.
"Haha, when you're done saying goodbye to them, do you think we'll be able to go. Your father and queen mother love your daughter so much, how could they be willing to let you go back to the Central Plains with me. I'm also an outsider. I laughed.
"Don't say that, you are my colt, how can you be an outsider?" Yueru said.
"Do I have any blood relationship with you, and I don't have much affection for the king, how can I say that I am not an outsider?" I said.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, the desert is so big, have you brought dry food?" Yueru asked.
I was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm in a hurry, where can I take care of ......?"
"Go to death, such a big desert, if you don't starve to death, you will die of thirst. I really hate you. Yueru snorted and said.
"Maybe there's someone nearby who can beg for water." I comforted her.
"Where would there be any people, I haven't known since I've lived here for so long? There is not a single grass growing within 500 miles of the vicinity! Yueru's face was full of anger.
"What's the point of being angry, being angry is not good for your skin, and it will get old!" I grimaced at her.
"I hate it." Yueru said.
"Wait, you said there is no grass, so what is that?" I said, pointing to the green patch in front of me.
"Oh, that's a cactus. But no one ever dared to eat it, and that thing had a lot of thorns. Yueru said.
"It's okay." I smiled. I turned over and dismounted, took out the kettle, and made a small hole in a cactus, and immediately a pale green juice flowed out, and I took the kettle to fill it.
"Can you drink this?" Yueru asked cautiously.
"Can you drink it, don't you believe I can drink it to you?" I took two sips and said, "It's not bad, it's no different from normal water." ”
Yueru took a tentative sip, spit it out again, and said, "It makes no difference, it's hard to drink to death." ”
I smiled and scratched my head. At this moment, there was a sudden rush of sand and rocks, and I was fascinated by my eyes. When he was rubbing his eyes, he vaguely heard Yueru say: "Hurry up, the desert storm is coming, and if you are swept in, you won't survive." ”
I fumbled after her, hid behind a huge rock, and said, "No matter the horse?" ”
"People can't take care of it, what kind of horses do they care?" Yueru said.
"But how can we get out of the desert and get out without horses?" I said.
"Don't say it, get down." Yueru said and pressed me down.
I only felt a gust of wind whistling through the sand above my head, and Yueru and I were covered with a thick layer of sand, but fortunately we were not buried inside. I shook the dirt off my body, and when I went to look for the horse, it was gone, probably buried in the sand.
"Leave the horses alone, let's go quickly, this place is windy and sandy, and desert storms are a common occurrence. It's all right to cross this realm. Yueru said.
Yueru and I walked forward for about a mile or two, and suddenly there was a strong wind blowing in front of us, and I thought it was a desert storm again, and I hurriedly pulled Yueru to hide behind the rocks.
"No, it's a wild camel!" Yueru said.
I poked my head out, and sure enough, I saw a herd of wild camels, running madly in this direction, splashing a lot of sand, like flying sand and rocks.
It was only when the wild camels passed by that I breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Yueru grabbed my hand and ran after the wild camel. I exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”
Yueru couldn't even breathe and said, "Back...... There are monsters in the back. With that, he fainted.
What kind of monster, I secretly wondered, and suddenly it occurred to me that it must be a very powerful monster that can make wild camels run crazy, it could be a sand wolf, but although the sand wolf is ferocious, it can't drink a group of camels. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but raise my throat and eyes. Seeing the unconscious Yueru, I made up my mind that I would never abandon her, no matter what kind of monster it was, I would not be afraid. Immediately turned his head away.
"Master, you're still alive, it's great, I've been looking for you for a long time." When I heard this, I saw that the so-called monster was a raccoon.
"Ah, it scared me to death, I thought there was some monster." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Monsters, where are monsters." The raccoon said as he looked east and west.
"No, no, I misunderstood." I hurriedly explained.
"Master, who is this woman?" The raccoon asked.
"Well, I forgot to introduce you, this is Yueru, the princess of Wuyue Country." I said.
"Well, another housewife, my housewife is so many." The raccoon said.
I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, coughed a few times and said, "No matter what, send us back to the Central Plains first." ”
"Well, the task assigned to me by the Ice Goose Mistress is to take the master back to the Central Plains." The raccoon said.
"It's okay to bring one more person." I said.
"Of course not, I'm very strong." The raccoon said proudly.
"Hmm." As I spoke, I helped Yueru up, rode on the raccoon and ran in the direction of the Central Plains.
