Chapter Twenty-Nine: Drinking Blood

A day and a night passed, and I don't know how many miles I walked. At noon, the sun was steaming in the desert, the yellow sand was scalding their feet, and the five of them were sweating profusely and too tired to catch their breath. Jiuzhen proposed, everyone kept walking, but took turns to get on the horse and change the rest. After walking like this for another hour, suddenly the horse fell to his knees, foaming at the mouth, and was already dying.

Pei Guo only glanced at it, shook his head and said, "This horse is not done." Jiuzhen licked his dry and pale lips: "Hugh said horses, I can't bear it anymore... Chen Gui sighed: "I came out in a hurry, I didn't bring a water bladder, and now the surroundings are not water, and I can't even find a tree... If you go on like this, I'm afraid you won't die of thirst on the road. The other two Liang people were even more panting, unable to speak.

Pei Guo exhaled, only to realize that he couldn't even sweat on his body, and he was really thirsty. There was no hesitation at the moment, and he said in a deep voice: "Kill the horse!" Drink blood! ”

"Drink blood?" As soon as Jiuzhen's face turned pale, he felt a faint tumbling in his chest. Chen Gui and the others also looked at each other.

"Drink if you don't want to die!" Pei Guo was too lazy to say, pulled out a knife and cut it on the horse's neck, and the blood shot out, soaring high. The horse lay on its side, neighing a few times, and tears seemed to flow from the horse's eyes. Jiu Zhenda couldn't bear it, and refused to look at it again.

Pei Guo leaned his head over and opened his mouth to drink, and after a few sips, his originally handsome and kind face was covered with blood, which was indescribably hideous.

Chen Gui saw it in his eyes, and gasped with a "hiss", and felt a chill on his body for no reason. But the thirst in his mouth became more and more intense, which made people dizzy, and finally he screamed and pounced, gulping down blood, which was no more than half a point than Pei Guoswen. When the other two Liang people saw this, they did the same. Jiuzhen just refused to turn his head, and his shoulders trembled.

The horse had long since stopped moving, and the blood had stopped shooting, only slowly overflowing from the wound, and even began to coagulate. Chen Gui looked at Jiuzhen's back, and stopped talking several times.

At noon, the sun was strong, and Jiu Zhenqiang was standing on his own, but there were flowers in front of him.

The tall Pei Guo quietly appeared in front of her, he wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and silently held a pair of hands. He was so close that it seemed that even the sun was covered by him, Jiu Zhen felt a little cooler, and his heart was a little more settled. In Pei Guo's calm big hand, the handful of scarlet blood he was holding gradually became dim, as if it was not so dazzling...

。。。。。。

The sunset in the desert is actually extremely beautiful, but the five people who are moving forward silently don't even have the desire to raise their heads, some are just listless.

On this day, I walked too much road and listened to too many whining and sanding sounds, which made people become numb unconsciously. When the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, the five people were still in a trance, so a round of arrow rain poured head-on, and the two Liang people were defenseless and shot to the ground without saying a word. Chen Gui was hit by an arrow in his shoulder and leg, and he fell to the ground. Pei Guo knocked away two feather arrows that came straight to his vital point, but the lower side caused another feather arrow to pass by, bringing up a few traces of blood. Only Jiuzhen was unharmed, because the comer didn't shoot arrows at her at all.

"I didn't find the remnants of Hu Lujin, but I found so few, bad luck!" "What's bad luck? It's called luck! Hu Lujin is not easy to mess with, I have the leader of Hu Si to deal with, what are I worried about? Take a closer look at that little lady's appearance! "That's right! Gee! This little lady is really a Peugeot, I have nothing to say! I'll be the first one later, hahahaha! ”

There were a total of ten horsemen, listening to what they said, they thought that Hu Sichun had chased and lost Hu Lujin, so they divided their troops to search, and it happened that these ten ran here and bumped into Pei Guo and his party. Pei Guo and Jiuzhen glanced at each other, and Jiuzhen said, "Are you injured?" Is it a big deal? Pei Guoyun was light: "It's okay!" "Concentrate and calm at the moment, and stand up for the sword. Jiuzhen nodded, ran to Chen Gui, and leaned over to check Chen Gui's injuries.

"What a rambling one! Quickly solve this kid, so as not to delay the happiness of the brothers! "When the horse thieves besieged the car formation that night, Hu Sichun's department did not attack at close range, and he didn't know Jiuzhen's ability, so in the eyes of the horse thieves at this moment, there was only Pei Guo left in the opponent, which was really easy.

was too lazy to shoot arrows, so the two horsemen went out together and swung their knives to kill Pei Guo; The other rode straight to take Jiuzhen, and the knife was not pulled, so he wanted to capture Jiuzhen and get on the horse.

The galloping horse came like thunder, and it looked unstoppable. Not far away, the seven horsemen narrowed their eyes, waiting for the horse to fly over its head and the good show came on.

The two horses came in an instant, Pei Guo exhaled, and suddenly swept his legs, stirring up a large area of floating sand, and hitting the two horse thieves in the face. The horse was frightened and involuntarily parted to the sides, making way for a large gap. Pei Guo flashed into the gap, the knife in his hand was as fast as lightning, slashing left and right, and the two horse thieves had already fallen from the horse, lying on the ground dripping with blood, humming nonstop.

The first seven horsemen changed color together, and before they could react, another scream came from the other side--- and they ran to catch the Jiuzhen horse thief and fell to the sky, with two bloody holes in his chest. Jiuzhen jumped on the horse, put the two bloody short daggers at his waist, and stretched out his hand to replace them with the horse thief's long knife!

Pei Guo did not hesitate, made up for the two knives, and as a result of the two injured horse thieves, he grabbed a horse at the moment, and also turned over on the horse. The long knife was in the direction, and coldly pointed at the remaining seven horsemen.

The situation suddenly reversed, and the seven horse thieves could no longer imagine that the man and woman in front of them were so powerful, and they were in a cold sweat for a while, and when they wanted to pull out their bows and arrows, they saw that Pei Guo and Jiuzhen were already raising their hooves, ready to pounce.

The distance was too close, and he was afraid that the bow and arrow would not hit the enemy, so he first told the two of them to rush up and cut himself. The seven horse thieves were in general mind, brushing off the horses and running away.

Pei Guo and Jiu Zhen did not drive horses to chase and kill, and quietly watched the seven horse thieves disappear until they disappeared from sight. Suddenly, Jiuzhen's body shook, and he fell down in an uproar, but fortunately, he was not injured under the floating sand. Pei Guo smiled bitterly and jumped off the horse, but his steps were also vain and staggering.

It turned out that the two of them had been running around for almost two days and two nights, during which they only drank a few mouthfuls of horse blood, and then tried their best to kill the three thieves, and they had really reached the end of the crossbow. At this moment, he is all holding on with one breath, and he can bluff to scare away the remaining thieves, where is the strength to chase the enemy?

Jiu Zhen got up, walked up to Chen Gui, and asked, "Can you still get up?" Chen Gui snorted, obviously in severe pain. Jiuzhen frowned: "I'll help you pull out the arrow, you bear with it." Chen Gui stopped Jiuzhen: "I'm afraid that this one will pull it out, and I won't be able to stop the bleeding... Jiuzhen was also hesitant.

At this time, Pei Guo gathered three horses and said, "Those two brothers have already gone... Fortunately, after capturing three horses, it is expected to return to the south. Seeing Jiuzhen's hesitation, he said, "It's better not to pull out the arrow first, and only break the shaft of the arrow." Jiuzhen nodded and did as he was told.

No matter how tired they were, the three of them didn't dare to stay for a long time, so they immediately got on their horses. didn't want to run three or two steps, Chen Gui shouted in pain, and almost fell off the horse. When Pei Guojiuzhen turned his head to look, he saw Chen Gui's face was pale, sweating profusely, and he waved his hand and said: "The arrows are clustered in the body, and when it is bumped, it hurts half to death... Jiuzhen, it's better for the two of you to go first, you can't delay at this time! ”

Jiuzhen feigned anger: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back together?" Don't mention such words again! ”

Chen Gui smiled bitterly: "Nine truths! Don't fight anymore, listen to your uncle. After a pause, seeing Jiu Zhenwu's puffing appearance, he suddenly put on a smiling face: "I'm sorry, it's Chen Gui who is not good, Chen Guituo is too old, but he doesn't dare to call himself Uncle Gui... Eh, Chen Gui is so tired that he can't walk... ”

Jiuzhen didn't look at Chen Gui, but looked at Pei Guo, hesitated slightly, but still said: "Pei Langjun... Otherwise, you should go first. ”

Pei Guo knows that the way to survive in the desert is the most cruel, and deep down in his heart, he really agrees with what Chen Gui said, but Jiuzhen doesn't leave, how can he be willing to go? So he smiled slightly: "Didn't you say you wanted to go back together?" Don't mention such words again! ”

In the sunset, Pei Guo showed two rows of white teeth, and his smile was bright. Jiuzhen also smiled: "Uncle Gui, did you hear that?" ”

Chen Gui didn't answer, and a layer of moisture appeared in his dry eyes.
