On the night of this day, the team of relatives has passed the Furong Pass, continued to walk forward, and gradually entered the Turks after Duyin Mountain, and the scenery has changed countless times along the way.

Dijing, plump like the peony of the heavenly fragrance of the country, everywhere reveals a stream of beauty and wealth, after leaving the imperial capital, it is also "the eaves of the moonlight bridge in the south of the Yangtze River", but continue to walk, it is strange and rocky, after going out of the customs, there are many poor mountains and bad waters.

After receiving the impending fate, Hua Jingyao was no longer thinking about escaping, but how to face the fierce Sukhbaru.

She thought about it, but before she knew it, it was already dark outside, and Kou Zhu approached Hua Jingyao, "Miss, are you hungry?" ”

Hua Jingyao is in the mood to eat at this time, but after thinking about it, if she doesn't eat, Kou Zhu will definitely not eat, although it is difficult to swallow, but Hua Jingyao has a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "Naturally, I want to eat, I have been bumpy all day, and I am hungry." ”

"That's good, the slave is afraid that you will be too sad." Kou Zhu and his party said that the group went to prepare food, the dry food was available, and it had already been prepared in the carriage, Kou Zhu opened his pocket and saw that there was a letter written by his father to his sister.

After Hua Jingyao looked at it, the originally depleted tear ducts were filled up again at this moment, and tears condensed in her eyelashes.

Seeing Hua Jingyao's appearance, Kou Zhu hurriedly sent the food over, "Miss, the outside said that they were going to set up camp, look at this wilderness, shouldn't there be any danger?" ”

"Don't crow's mouth, aren't you afraid of big things?" Hua Jingyao said as she took the braised elbow from Kou Zhu's hand, "And this delicious food?" ”

"Miss, there is." Kou Zhu laughed and used a knife to get the hooves open for Hua Jingyao to eat, after Hua Jingyao ate, the carriage also stopped in an elm forest, Hua Jingyao took Kou Zhu's hand, "I'm going to be convenient, you accompany me." ”

"Very well, miss." It was convenient for the master and servant to go.

Hua Jingyao observed the surroundings in the night, she likes to read the military book the most on weekdays, after reading the military book, Hua Jingyao can be regarded as a Zhao Kuo who talks about soldiers on paper, coming out of the field, Hua Jingyao pointed to the front, "This position, you can't garrison soldiers, you see, this is the only oasis on this territory." ”

"Miss, this is the Gobi Desert, not camped in the oasis, but where is it? Could it be in a big rock? ”

"Yes, stay close to the water, but not too close." Hua Jingyao was close to the place where they had landed, and Kou Zhu was suspicious when she heard it. Pointing to the Yansai Lake next to it, the lake was as calm as a mirror, and a person had gone to draw water, holding a wooden barrel in his hand.

After Hua Jingyao got out of the carriage, her eyes gradually became able to adapt to the darkness, and she found that after leaving the customs, the realm was too open, and there was not even a single extra stone.

Hua Jingyao stared into the distance for a long time before retracting her gaze.

This place is completely different from the imperial capital, here, there are no high and low peaks, some are sand dunes, and on the sand dunes, there are some poplar trees, which look more nostalgic than Hua Jingyao.

"Miss, someone has gone near the water source." Kou Zhu was still staring at the man intently, Hua Jingyao turned her head abruptly, but saw that something seemed to be on the calm water, and there were slight ripples.

"Oops! Go and save someone. ”

It's not that someone is drowning, but that there is any danger in the water, Hua Jingyao and Kou Zhu are relatively close, and Kou Zhu is a rough girl, and she has a lot of strength on weekdays. Seeing someone drowning is even more powerful.

He stepped forward, grabbed the man's ankles, dragged the man sideways, and came back, and a huge head appeared in the water, which opened its bloody mouth, and the teeth in its mouth were intertwined, and it looked terrifying.

"Oh, what's that?" When everyone saw them staggering, they all came over, some people were Hua Jingyao, some people held stones and threw them in the lake, but the monster disappeared.

"Don't go over there, it's dangerous, it should be a pig dragon."

There are many in the Nile River Basin, but there are also in some saline-alkali land and dammed lakes in the Gobi Desert, and in the mouth of local residents, Zhu Polong is called "alligator".

At this moment, the pig dragon disappeared, but everyone no longer dared to approach the water source.

"Miss, if we don't get close to the water source, how can we solve the problem of draft?" Hua Jingyao had just easily rescued that person, as if Hua Jingyao had become the authority of several of them at this moment, and people came forward and surrounded Hua Jingyao to ask these questions.

Where did Hua Jingyao know the customs here, she frowned, looked at the team behind her, and everyone's eyes were shrouded in hope for Hua Jingyao.

"I have a way." Hua Jingyao pointed to the two guards next to him who looked powerful and powerful, and went downstream, on a soft land, Hua Jingyao said: "The water flows low, you dig here, and the water will come out in a while." ”

"Miss, is this the so-called thirsty digging well, Miss?" Seeing that a few people were really busy, Kou Zhu approached Hua Jingyao.

"When is it, our lives are hanging by a thread, and you are still talking about cool things."

"Miss, the slave maid thought, it is better to let the pig Polong eat it, and go to the grassland and meet Sukhbaru, in fact, people are much more insidious and cunning than animals." Kou Zhu looked at Hua Jingyao.

Hua Jingyao clenched her fists, "What about the bad thing, you think more about the good." The two were still talking, the sweaty man was already laughing loudly, Hua Jingyao hurriedly came over, the water source was not only there, but also very abundant, not only abundant, but also the clear source of living water.

It was summer, and after there was water, people took the skin and gave it to Hua Jingyao, who looked at the footprints of the small animal next to her and ate it with peace of mind.

"Gather together and light a bonfire around us." How do everyone know which one Hua Jingyao is. But looking at Hua Jingyao's solemn appearance, it didn't seem like she was joking, so she hurriedly found the rotten wood and burned it.

The dead wood was crackling and burning, Kou Zhu admired Hua Jingyao more than just now, threw the dead wood one by one in the bonfire, smiled like a flower, and sat next to Hua Jingyao.

"What are you smirking at?" Hua Jingyao looked at Kou Zhu, Kou Zhu pouted, with an awkward expression of "I can't laugh or smile", "Miss, you are here very remarkable, you are the guiding light outside, it's so good, seeing you like this, the slave and maid can be regarded as knowing, and we will not encounter any danger along the way." ”

"Kou Zhu, you didn't see the patrolling person next to the poplar forest, let that person come back quickly." Hua Jingyao suddenly got up and pointed at the man.

After all, Kou Zhu's foot strength was faster than Hua Jingyao's, and he approached the man in three or two clicks, exchanged words with the man, and the man came back.

"Miss, he's on night watch, he's used to it."

"No matter how night watch, it will be eaten by wolves." Hua Jingyao said casually, Kou Zhu heard this, and laughed dumbly, but the smile was a laugh, but the smile mark did not reach the pupil of the eye, and Ai Ai said: "Miss is joking again, okay, how can there be such a thing?" There can be no wolves. ”

"Is it impossible?" Hua Jingyao got up and smiled, and pointed to the side of the poplar forest, the wind blew the treetops, and there were dots of pale green fluorescence behind the treetops, as if the phosphorus fire was burning.

"Kou Zhu, that moving pale green is the wolf's eyes."

"Miss, how do you know that those are wolf eyes and not fox eyes?"

"I just passed by there and saw footprints." Hua Jingyao pointed to a white thing in the flames, "And the fuel outside, look at Kou Zhu, that white thing is very strange, right?" ”

Kou Zhu curiously picked up the white thing in the firewood, sniffed it, and knocked it.

"Miss, is this a lion's mane mushroom?"

"You big-headed ghost." Hua Jingyao completely defeated Kou Zhu's innocence, "How can this be a lion's mane mushroom, this is wolf feces, if you take a closer look, it is full of bones and fur of small animals." Hearing this, Kou Zhu panicked and threw the wolf's feces into the flames.

This night, in the eyes of others, is so calm, but Hua Jingyao, but sleep very unsteadily, now, it is more than a hundred miles away from Zhongjing, Hua Jingyao's head fell on the pillow, I can't hear the familiar sound of traffic in Dijing, all I can hear is the chirping of a piece of yellow sand.

Hua Jingyao's bones were about to fall apart, and the next day, Hua Jingyao got up very early, Kou Zhu went to verify, and sure enough, he found that a group of wolves had come last night.

The wolves came silently, but in the end they disappeared again, probably not finding the best chance to arrest them.

In the afternoon, the altitude gradually increased, many people had a nervous breathing situation, Hua Jingyao adjusted her breathing, looked out of the car window, outside, there was no longer Gobi, the yellow sand was also disappearing, there was a pale green lake, there was an endless green meadow.

A stretch of green seemed to ripple to the end of the sky.

Hua Jingyao stared at the grass for a long time, and she knew that what the grass extended out was her unknowable fate.

Unconsciously, it was time to rest again, the cars and horses were tired, and people were tired, and when they rested at this moment, they couldn't even see a ghost shadow around.

"Miss, why is it getting more and more uncomfortable?"

"The closer we got to the sky, the more we breathed, the thinner the air." Hua Jingyao said, Kou Zhu heard this, looked up at the sky, the sky was blue and blue, the color was indeed different from that of Zhongjing, and a white cloud was blown by the wind, and the white cloud was like a little lamb, which might roll down.

"Ah, miss, you can't sit in that position, carefully the clouds are down."

"Kou Zhu, be serious." Hua Jingyao sighed, the rations were shrinking, because it was summer, and even some of the things they ate had become rancid, and after discarding some of them, people could eat less.
