Chapter 17: Shi Hu
Mei Xiaohan held back her tears and didn't let her tears stay, although she was disgusted with her current self, but for the sake of the overall situation, she still gave the order to shoot those who escaped and those who endangered the team members.
Mei Xiaohan had to do this, this is the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention that this is a desert, there are no conditions to talk about.
On the second day, five people were hastily buried, and the procession continued to set off.
It takes three days for a person to use a bottle of water, and the amount of food that can be distributed each day is limited.
Three days later, the team had traveled a hundred miles, and was far from getting out of the desert.
Some earthen wall structures have appeared on the road, most of these buildings are ruined and broken, and none of them are intact.
Someone found an inscription, the stele has long been weathered, the text on it is blurry and illegible, and the word "Youlan" can be vaguely read.
The once glorious "Youlan" city is now in ruins, full of ruins and broken walls, which makes people sigh.
The marching team did not stop, and news came from behind, and a young man with a weak constitution died violently.
After mourning this young man, Mei Xiaohan left the bones of this young man in the "Youlan City" and left a mark, and the world may find it one day, and they will know that there was such a story here.
A life that has passed away for a dream is worthy of praise.
One evening after seven days of travel, there were scattered greens in the desert, and green meant life, and everyone saw hope.
In the evening, the team set up another tent on a relatively large sandy area, and the bonfire outside the tent swayed in the wind, and the wild wolf reappeared.
This time, there were more than a dozen wild wolves, and they planned to outflank the tent.
After a tiring day, everyone slept peacefully, and no one found the wolf.
A brutal fight begins...
A young man, playing a flute and riding a maroon horse, galloped forward.
Step by step, the wolf approached the tent and walked only a hundred meters away from it.
When the flute sounded, the wolves seemed to hear the call and turned around and ran.
Everything was like it hadn't happened, like a dream
The next day, people were telling each other about the dreams they had had last night, and the dreams described by several people were almost identical.
Dozens of miles further on, an oasis appeared.
Green, the appearance of an oasis with a radius of several thousand meters, made the whole team excited, and in the middle of the green there was a hidden lake with a radius of tens of meters.
"Water... Water..."Someone started screaming loudly.
Several teenagers crawled towards the lake, "Bang bang! "Three shots were fired and the lake splashed.
The water turned a blood-red patch...
The three teenagers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, they were already short of water, and the teenager's pants were wet.
"Go inside the lake and see what's inside!" Mei Xiaohan gave the order.
A team of experts formed a team to disturb the edge of the lake, and a body was recovered, which was identified as the body of a teenager, who had been dead for more than three days. Along with the boy was a horse, and the horse's death was almost at the same time as the boy.
"After testing, the water is poisonous and undrinkable."
Mei Xiaohan had a dream last night, dreaming that the team was surrounded by wolves, and suddenly a young man playing the flute appeared, and after the boy played the flute, the wolves turned and left.
This is so strange and unreasonable, there is a desert for thousands of miles, but there is an oasis and a lake here, and this lake is highly poisonous, which makes several experts not know how to explain it.
Mei Xiaohan covered the towel with her mouth, squatted on the ground and looked at the young man carefully, shook her head and said, "Like, it's too similar, it's exactly the same!" ”
The young man riding the horse in the dream and the young man in front of him were almost carved out of the same mold, and although they were rotten, they could still be distinguished.
Mei Xiaohan didn't mention this matter again, and ordered the team to continue to march and not linger any longer.
After walking more than ten kilometers, a small town suddenly appeared.
Everyone began to get excited, and with the town, at least there was food and drink, and there was no longer any need to nibble on bread and dry food.
"I think we should retreat three kilometers and send a team to investigate in the middle of the night, although this place is under the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty, but the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and it is in the heart of the desert. It is not yet known what tribe and tribe are in the town, so don't rush to march! ”
It was a sixteen-year-old boy who spoke, down-to-earth and generous, neither humble nor arrogant
Mei Xiaohan nodded with satisfaction and said, "What's your name?" I think you're right! ”
"My name is Shi Hu, just a high school graduate, I used a fake identity to blend into the team, I would like to ask Chairman Mei for guilt, I am willing to sneak into the town overnight to find out."
This person is thoughtful and daring, very similar to Lin Hao's personality, but more strategic than Lin Hao. This is exactly the talent that Mei Xiaohan, who is not in a very stable position as the chairman, wants to be included in the account, the most important thing is that Shi Hu is young and has no prestige, and now his fate is completely in the hands of Mei Xiaohan, if he can be promoted and reused, he will definitely be loyal to his master. This can also play some role in containing Lin Hao.
In order to send a little hairy boy without objections, Mei Xiaohan came up with a bitter plan, and before Shi Hu finished speaking, Mei Xiaohan kicked Shi Hu in the face. Pulled out the gun and said: "It's okay without rules, I thought you were quite smart, but I didn't expect you to sneak into the team, I think it's useless to keep you, you can get a shot!" ”
The pistol was loaded, but the young man didn't show any fear, Mei smiled and said, "For the sake of your youth, just do as you say, make up for it!" I'll send you to find out the news. ”
The team retreated three kilometers and waited for nightfall.
Shi Hu's father is a special forces, so Shi Hu has been interested in everything related to the military since he was a child, although he is only a high school student, he is well-read and very talented.
The team began to rest again, stopping and stopping all the way, and the fastest day was only thirty miles ahead, and if it went on like this, I don't know when it will be able to get out of this desert.
Mei Xiaohan called Shi Hu to his side and handed over his M1911, which he bought for 100,000 US dollars, to Shi Hu.
"Take it! Remember, don't shoot lightly until you know the identity of the other party, and don't act rashly, and come back quickly after finding out the situation, and don't act alone. ”
"Thank you, Chairman Mei, I remember your words, since I have come here, I am your person, I will listen to you, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!"
When he said this, Shi Hu was a little tragic.
"I'll wait for you to come back!"
Night fell, and the entire team was waiting for Shi Hu to bring back important information.
