This shout, like wings, flew from the back to the front, the whole team boiled instantly, the enthusiasm of the soldiers was quickly ignited, everyone hugged each other excitedly, the roaring cheers came and went, and the surprise and excitement filled their hearts, even this cruel sea of death, it seemed that it was not so terrible.

"General, the porridge is here—" Xu Zhen trotted all the way, his face flushed with excitement, and he held a wooden bowl in his hand, which was hot porridge, and under the steaming clear soup, a little rice and barley grains were precipitated.

These grains were kept under repeated light clothing, and they were specially reserved for the injured Li Wuling. And cooking porridge in the desert, where dripping water is as expensive as gold, is an extremely luxurious thing. In order to save Li Wuling, the 5,000 soldiers rushed to give out the precious water in the water bladder without complaint.

The Turkic girl sat in the carriage, looking at such a scene, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and her eyes were blank. This kind of mutual assistance and mutual love is almost unimaginable in the eyes of the Turkic people, who worship the wolf nature and the law of the jungle.

Lin Wanrong and Lao Gao worked together to set up Li Wuling, and Xu Zhen blew the hot gruel cold, and then carefully sent it to Li Wuling's mouth.

The hot porridge entered his throat, Li Wuling regained some strength, he chewed a few bites slightly, swallowed, and finally took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"Little Lizi, how are you?!" Seeing him open his eyes again, Hu Bugui couldn't help but be overjoyed, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked happily.

Li Wuling's lips were pale, but his sallow cheeks showed a long-lost smile, and he said weakly: "Brother Hu, Brother Gao, I'm not dead yet?!" ”

"Nope. No, how could you die? You haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. No one can take your life, hahahaha-" Old Gao Le opened his mouth and laughed. Tears floated in the eyes.

Li Wuling hummed and said softly: "I'm fine, Brother Lin, Brother Gao, Brother Hu, how are you all?!" ”

Hao Wanrong smiled and patted his head: "We can all eat and sleep, and live happily." Wait for two days for you to recover, a few of our brothers, and Xu Zhen. We take you on horseback riding. Go to see Lop Nur and visit the Tian Shan Mountains. Go do something earth-shattering. Do you think it's good? ”

"Okay," Xiao Lizi showed a look of excitement on his face: "I like to follow Brother Lin to do big things the most." I don't know if I take advantage of it. But I'm sure I won't suffer a loss - that's what my Aunt Xu said! ”

What did Miss Xu say? It's okay, what did she say to Xiao Lizi about this. Isn't that ruining my reputation? Lin Wanrong suddenly sweated profusely. Look at me, people, and I'll look at you. I couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the joy spread in everyone's heart.

Li Wuling woke up, and a heavy boulder that was pressing on Lin Wanrong's heart was finally moved. The soldiers swept away the decadent atmosphere of the previous continuous march and faced this sea of death, and everyone rejoiced and was in high spirits. Li Wuling's awakening at this juncture was like giving them a shot in the arm. Everyone was enthusiastic. Confidence in getting out of the sea of death is at an all-time high.

The little plum slept for many days. Weakness. I drank a few sips of porridge and said a few words. Then he fought with his eyelids, and after a while he fell asleep again. At this time, the deep sleep is the self-reaction of the body's mechanism adjustment. It is a sign of gradual improvement, although it has not yet healed. But that's only a matter of time.

Lin Wanrong and Lao Hu carefully carried him into the carriage. Chief Gao carefully checked his injuries, listened to his pulse and heartbeat, and finally smiled, and said with emotion: "As long as the land is well raised, Xiao Lizi will be able to walk on the ground within three or four days." Alas, although I don't like the Turks, I have to say. This crescent moon really has some ability, and she pulled Xiao Lizi back from the ghost gate before, which is already magical, and it can't be more magical. This time it was even more absolute, she said that Xiao Lizi woke up in three days. I really woke up. If you don't accept that, you can't do that! ”

Lao Gao, a quack doctor, although he is not good at curing diseases, but he is also a master of martial arts, he said that Li Wuling can walk on the ground within three or four days, and he should not be able to walk.

Hu Bugui also nodded: "Judging from the medical skills alone, this Turkic woman does have a hand, not to mention that she also saved Xiao Li Zidi's life, and my old Hu also admires it very much." ”

Hearing them talk about Yujia, Lin Wanrong noticed that since Li Wuling woke up, everyone cheered, and their eyes were focused on Xiao Lizi, but they ignored the Turkic girl. She was still in the carriage before she was rescued, but at the moment, she was nowhere to go. Fortunately, this is a vast desert in the Sea of Death, and no one is worried that she will escape.

Several people settled Li Wuling before jumping out of the car. The sun is setting in the west, the sunset is yellow sand, and Lop Nur is rare in the twilight, showing a gentle face, the wind and sand gently blow the cheeks, warm and skillful, but like the soft hands of a girl, and the distant horizon is shining with golden brilliance.

Taking advantage of Li Wuling's awakening and everyone resting on the spot for a while, Lin Wanrong checked the supplies again, and if nothing else, he could barely sustain four or five days.

From the head of the team to the end of the team, just about to turn back, suddenly heard a burst of music slowly drifting by, like resentment, like bitterness, lingering and compassionate, making people unforgettable.

On a sand dune in the distance, the setting sun slowly fell like a round red basin, cut into the ground level. A graceful figure stood quietly, that graceful posture, in the bright red sunset, outlining a faint black shadow, as if reflected in a watercolor painting.

The flying yellow sand blew the hem of her green silk skirt, and she stared silently into the distance, quiet like a grain of dust in the desert.

"Withered vines and old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, ancient roads and west wind thin horses. The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world - good poetry, good poetry! ”

A noisy voice came from behind, accompanied by a few flirtatious high-fives, the Turkic girl put down Yujia, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and hummed softly: "Sure enough, it's a faint crow, and you are still a little self-aware." ”

Lin Wanrong laughed dryly, ran up to the sand dune, and stood beside her: "The divine doctor is really interested, in this vast desert, I still have the heart to watch the sunset and taste the jade, which really makes me admire this rough man." ”

"Rough man?! Nest old attack, you are rare to be humble a few times. The Turkic girl sneered coldly.

"Is being rough is modesty?" Lin Wanrong was shocked: "That's because they are too visionless, I've been a rough man for a long time." I can't be fine if I want to! ”

The corners of the man's mouth turned into a faint smile. Yujia has been watching for a long time, and he has some understanding of his temperament, but when he sees this smile, Liukou must not have thought of anything good in his heart. The girl snorted softly and withdrew the small jade bamboo into her arms.

"This. Here you go! Lin Wanrong took out the golden knife and handed it to Yujia.

Liukou was rarely so generous, looking at the golden scimitar, the Turkic girl hesitated for a moment.

"You, are you really going to give it back to me?" She looked skeptical.

"Of course, do you think my honest little Langjun's nickname is a wasted name?" Lin Wanrong glanced at her dissatisfied: "This knife is on me." In addition to manicures. It's really useless. If I say I'll give it back to you, I'll really give it back to you. Don't be too impressed. You deserve it. ”

What am I touched? Yujia glared at him a few times, listening to what he had said before. There is still some sincerity, but the latter sentence is authentic and sold cheaply.

Yujia hesitated for a while, slowly stretched out her hand, and clenched the golden knife, she gently pulled it twice. Somehow, the golden knife didn't move. Pulled it twice more. Still so.

"What are you doing so tightly-let go!" The girl screamed in annoyance. Blushing.

"Oh, I thought you didn't want it!" Lin Wanrong grinned. His hands naturally let go: "Divine doctor, you are so nervous about this knife, could it be that there is some secret hidden in it?!" ”

Yujia's face turned angry, and he stuffed the golden knife back into his hand: "What's the secret?" You take it back and look at it! ”

"Are you giving me the golden sword?" Lin Wanrong laughed. Stretching out his hand, he touched the golden knife: "Then I will be disrespectful." Alas, to be honest, I'm not very fond of playing with knives! ”

"Whoever sent you, give it back to me!" Yujia snorted. Then he snatched the golden knife back, and his beautiful eyes were a little red. His face was filled with annoyance.

Lin Wanrong stared at the scimitar in Yujia's hand, and said with a slight smile: "One yard to one yard, this golden knife has been returned to you, but I am still very grateful for Miss Yujia's kindness." ”

Yujia's expression was cold, and his delicate face was covered with frost: "What are you thanking me for, don't forget, the one who shot and injured your brother is also our Turks." You killed our people, and we Turks also killed your compatriots. Do you think I'd save an enemy of my clan if you hadn't exchanged terms?! ”

"Enemies? Miss Yujia said well," Lin Wanrong said twice, and said unhurriedly: "With Miss Yujia's erudition and talent, I would like to ask, what kind of hatred does my Dahua have with you Turks, and who turned us into enemies who are incompatible with life and death?" ”

A disdainful sneer on his lips fell into the eyes of the Turkic girl, and he only felt that it was full of sarcasm. But she couldn't answer this question, because the facts were there, and it was her ancestors who were the first to invade Dahua. She gritted her teeth and avoided his gaze: "Don't ask me, I don't know." ”

Lin Wanrong sneered: "Miss Yujia, you have to speak with your conscience, what did your local people and your ancestors do, you don't know Bogu Tong today?!" I think you're selectively amnesia. ”

"You want to take care of it?!" Like an enraged female leopard, Yujia gritted her teeth and snorted angrily.

The difficulty of reasoning with a woman is equivalent to touching the stars in the sky. Lin Wanrong sighed: "People are extremely small, we are in the situation of history, and we only see life and death, and water and fire are intolerable. But who knows that hundreds of years later, two nations that once drew swords against each other and fought for life and death will live in harmony and prosper together? Compared with the long river of history, those of us who think we are great are just a speck of dust and sand, no matter how you jump and how self-righteous you are, you will eventually be buried by history. I am, Miss Yuga, and you will be no exception. ”

His emotion changed from his previous grinuous and unserious appearance, and every sentence came from the bottom of his heart, and even Yujia could feel the sincerity and helplessness in the heart of this rogue.

It's rare for him to look like this. The Turkic girl was stunned and whispered to herself: "Harmonious coexistence and common prosperity? Is this possible? ”

"National integration is the trend of the times, just like the white bones and lovers we see on the Silk Road, who are the great Chinese and who are the Turks, is this important? They don't help each other the same way. Getting through this together? ”

Yuga thought for a moment. Surprisingly there is no rebuttal.

"In a few hundred years, there will be no boundary of Helan Mountain, the grassland inland will be a family, all ethnic groups will live in harmony, you have me. I have you, and I can't tell each other apart! ”

Yujia didn't know where to think of it, and couldn't help but snort softly, his cheeks flushed: "What do you have me, I have you, you rogue." Shameless! ”

Lin Wanrong was dumbfounded. Is this also called shamelessness? Heaven have mercy. It's your own thoughts, Lao Tzu is a pure person. It's not blasphemous. This Turkic woman is really spicy, she dares to think about anything!

"What are you staring at me for—hundreds of years from now. How do you know? The girl snorted with a red face, and seemed a little embarrassed.

This pervert, if I don't stare at you, do you still stare at myself? Lin Wanrong blinked and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten, I will look at Xingchen's palmistry." It can be said that I knew 500 years in advance, and 500 years in the future—I only told you this great secret. Don't tell anyone! ”

See his thief-eyed look. Yujia wanted to laugh but held back: "You said so much. Don't forget what ethnic integration and harmony are. Our two countries are now at war. If I told you to give up your attacks on my people, would you be willing?! ”

Yujia is really a very thoughtful woman, this question made Lin Wanrong stunned. He pondered for a long time. shook his head silently, getting along in harmony is only a future tense, and now this battle still has to be fought, only the fight hurts and fights are afraid. Only then can everyone calm down. Think about the future.

Yujia knew what he was thinking when he looked at him. couldn't help but snort: "You, you are blowing loudly on your mouth, but you don't have the same idea in your heart?!" Vile! ”

Man is in the middle of history. It's a bit of a taste that I can't help myself! Lin Wanrong sighed helplessly, untied the water bladder on her waist, and stuffed it into Yujia's hand: "It's really a headache to say these things." Forget it, don't want to. I'll give you back this water bladder! ”

"What are you doing," Yujia was angry and waved his hand vigorously: "I don't want to be soiled by you!" ”

Lin Wanrong said: "I swear by my noble honor, I haven't moved this water at all!" ”

"Why don't you move?!" The girl gritted her teeth stubbornly: "We Turks, we will never take back what we send out." This is the land I have given back to you, and it belongs to you. If you don't like it, pour it into the desert. ”

A fool would pour water into the desert. Seeing Yujia stubbornly turning his head, Lin Wanrong didn't know what to say. They are now hostile, how can they push each other for this water bladder? Thinking of this, Lin Wanrong felt weird.

The two argued and quarreled, but neither could convince anyone, so they both quieted down.

The yellow sand is red, and the remnant sun is like blood, and this scenery is also very special. Yujia quietly looked into the distance, and suddenly exclaimed, "That, what is that-"

Lin Wanrong hummed and looked up. Far away, above the horizon, clouds shrouded me, and slowly, magically, jumped out of a green forest, and in the middle of the forest rose a majestic city, and the flag fluttered high. Countless platforms, city walls, chariots and horses, and crown covers, the movement and stillness appear each other, and they can be seen in the past. Around the edge of the city, a clear river flows slowly, and herds of horses, cattle and sheep graze leisurely. Joyful young men and women, running among them, letting off their horses and singing.

The city that suddenly sprung up on the horizon was like a street market in the sky, clearly visible, as if it were close at hand. In particular, the rushing river is infinitely tempting to the people in the desert. Not only Lin Wanrong and Yujia, but all the soldiers were stunned.

"This, where the hell is this, is it heaven?!" Yujia looked intoxicated and muttered to himself.

Heaven?! A bright light flashed in Lin Wanrong's mind, jumped up suddenly, and laughed: "I know, mirage, this is a mirage!" ”

"Mirage?!" Yujia frowned slightly and looked at him with longing eyes: "What is a mirage?" ”

This girl grew up on the grassland, and she has never seen a mirage, which is really a pity. Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "There is a mirage by the sea of poems, and the so-called mirage is actually the sunlight that refracts the scenery on the ground layer by layer, reflecting it to the sky in the distance, so we see the market, the city, the mountains and rivers, the characters, and they are still running in motion, lifelike." Mirage is a kind of dragon in ancient Dahua, and it is said that it can exhale into a tower, so this is called a mirage. ”

Mirages, as the name suggests, occur mainly at sea level. It can also be seen occasionally in the desert. But it's rare. Yujia has never seen it, but it is understandable.

Yujia sighed. Said lightly: "Mirage." The name is very chic, not like it was made up. Roving bandits. You've never been to the desert before. How do you know the origin of this mirage?! ”

"Because I'm diligent and studious. Well-read. Lin Wanrong lied without blinking.

"I don't believe it!" Yujia laughed, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and a trace of brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes: "There will also be a market in the sky, and it is also called a mirage!" If only I could check it out, wouldn't be great! ”

Look at the fart. The real sight of this mirage. At least thousands of miles away, where are you looking? Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "It's better to be exempt - maybe the situation on our side has also been reflected in the sky." It is not necessary to become a mirage in the eyes of people from afar! ”

"Really? We're a mirage too?! Yuga was overjoyed and turned her head to look at him. His eyes were full of joy and yearning.

Women are really the best coaxing animals in the world! Lin Wanrong laughed twice: "There shouldn't be any fake." You look at the scenery from the bridge, and the people watching you from upstairs look at you. Isn't that the truth? ”

The Turkic girl glanced at him. Keep your head down. He said softly: "Nest old attack." Seeing that you don't look like you've read a lot of books, how can you still write chapters?! ”

I didn't read?! Which eye did you see - the album that the high chief gave me, I read it over and over again every day! Lin Wanrong snorted. Pi Xiaorou didn't laugh and said: "Hooligans are educated, women are afraid!" Miss Yuga, be careful! ”

The girl was stunned, and suddenly giggled: "If the world's hooligans have your level, then we women don't have to be afraid!" ”

This is contempt. **Naked contempt, Lin Wanrong gritted her teeth in anger! Yujia shook his head slightly. sighed: "I didn't expect it to be in the sea of death." There is such a strange sight. Others are a mirage in our eyes, and we are also someone else's mirage. Nest old attack. Your words have exhausted all the weather in the world. ”

Do I really have such a deep meaning? Lin Wanrong herself laughed strangely!

The scene of this mirage fell in the eyes of all the soldiers. It's also amazing. Thinking of the awakening of Li Wuling today, there is a legend that auspicious rui fell from the sky, which means that our army is going out to conquer the clouds.

After a while, the heavenly street market gradually dissipated, and the mirage finally turned into a wisp of mist and never returned. Yujia looked at the ground dumbfounded, and muttered: "Mirage, it turned out to be a dream, it's all fake land!" ”

The smoke drifted away, the wind and sand gradually increased, the sand and stones hit the face with pain, and the sea of death seemed to suddenly become angry, and the wind howled angrily. Where the mirage had dispersed, a dark yellow cloud floated, coming from far and near, so fast that its roar could already be heard in my ears.

"What is this?!" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

Yujia took a closer look, and his face suddenly turned pale: "It's a desert storm!" ”

It was too late, it was fast, and as soon as her voice fell, the sea of death, which was still gentle, changed its face in an instant, flying sand and stones, the wind was raging, and the rapid yellow clouds, with a whistling sound, rushed over in an instant. The heavens and the earth were instantly dim, and after a few feet, they couldn't see each other's faces clearly.

"The storm is coming, the storm is coming, all the horses, at once crouch down, tighten their hands, and lean on each other-" The most experienced desert man shouted with all his strength against the sound of the wind. Over there, Chief Di Gao and Xu Zhen had already lifted Li Wuling off the carriage and covered him with their bodies.

I also experienced a few desert storms a few days ago, but the momentum and scale are not the same as this time.

The whirring wind roared in his ears, and the yellow clouds that were rapidly approaching the earth gradually revealed their hideous faces. At a glance, you can't see the yellow sand on the border, flying all over the sky, like a huge, rapidly rotating spinning top, with a whirring roar, and constantly rotating rapidly on the way forward, scraping off the sand and rocks, like a sharp blade.

The sand dunes under his feet were about to move, as if they wanted to fly into the sky, but people could no longer stand, and the wind and sand on their faces choked in their mouths and noses, and their breathing was suddenly suffocated.

"Let's go!" Lin Wanrong shouted, grabbed Yujia and turned around and ran under the sand dune. The whirring wind sounded behind them, as if there was a weight of ten thousand catties, the two of them ran desperately, the wind rotated in turn, but their feet were getting lighter and lighter, and they seemed to be about to leave the ground.

Before he could escape a few steps, the sand dunes behind him thundered. Lifted by the sandstorm. Flying into the air with a huge whirlpool, mingling with the dancing sand, merging into a larger, more violent storm. Rushing at the people.

"Squat. Squat down! "In the wind. Lin Wanrong couldn't even hear her own voice. Every time you open your mouth. There was a huge amount of wind and sand pouring into his throat, and he coughed and gasped prowessly. He grabbed Yujiadi's hand tightly and shouted loudly with all his might.

The Turkic girl seemed to hear his cries. Bend your legs suddenly. The palm of his hand clenched him. So he took him and squatted down.

Behind the wind, the sand swirled and whistled. With the power of uprooting. Constantly circling around the two, Lin Wanrong only felt that her body was fluttering. One hundred and forty or fifty pounds of body seemed to be about to rise into the air and turn into a grain of dust and sand in the desert.

Lin Wanrong gritted her teeth, once she was swept into the sky. It's like getting into a blender and waiting for him. It's going to be crushed! He roared angrily. His feet plunged into the sand, increasing the friction. Blocking the body from spinning towards the sky.

"Uh-" a muffled snort in the wind. Although the voice was small, Lin Wanrong could hear it clearly.

It's Yuga!!

He hurriedly tightened the girl's hand. Barely open his eyes in the wind and sand. I saw that the body of the Turkic girl was like a willow that fell on its side. Legs swaying in the wind. It's about to be swept into the air. It's just that she has a stubborn face and refuses to ask for help until she dies!

This dead stubborn woman! Lin Wanrong was so angry that he roared. Kick your legs hard. Long arm waved. He hugged her tightly into his arms.

Yujia's body trembled, but he didn't care about life and death. Like an untamable wild horse. He struggled violently in his arms.

"What are you doing. Want to die? Lin Wanrong was furious, and roared in her ear with all her strength, like a terrifying wolf in the cold wind and sand.

Yujia's body froze, and he tried his best to open his eyes and look at him. This rogue's roar was like an angry god. The Turkic girl's eyes flashed with a thousand colors in an instant. It's ever-changing, it's complex.

Seeing that she was no longer struggling. Lin Wanrong breathed a long sigh of relief. This Turkic woman. It's wilder than a leopard, not a little ruthless. I really can't control her.

The wind is blowing. The two hugged each other, only hearing the wind whistling in their ears, and their bodies were like boats rising and falling on the waves of the sea.

There was a hissing bang. But the robe behind Lin Wanrong was torn by a flowing stone, and in the wind and sand, the robe was torn by the wind and flew towards the sky.

"Water bladder—" Yuga shouted with her arms outstretched. She curled up in Lin Wanrong's arms, and she saw clearly that Lin Wanrong had a water bladder hanging from her waist, which fluttered and spun in the wind along with the torn robe, and landed a few feet away from her body.

Water is like life! Lin Wanrong was distressed, but she couldn't take care of it so much. The water is gone, and you can find it again. If there are no people, then everything is really empty.

Before he finished thinking about it, he felt a light in his arms, and the Yujia rushed out with a whoosh, like an agile female leopard, looking in that direction, it was going straight to the water bladder.

The wind howled and swirled around her body, about to lift her body up. The Turkic girl fell to the ground in a hurry, and reached forward with one hand.

Her body was against the wind, and her fingers were only a few inches away from the water bladder, but she could not touch them. The girl bit her lips and leaned forward with her legs. The wind blew her body up slowly, and the water bladder kept spinning, and her fingers were always within a millimeter of the water bladder, but it was difficult to get close.

Seeing that the wind was about to blow her body up, Yujia's eyes closed, and two teardrops rolled down, and she was about to let go of her mind and go with the wind, but she felt that her body was pulled back again.

An almost roaring voice sounded in her ears: "Stupid woman, you don't want to die?!" ”

Tears flowed down the cheeks of the Turkic girl, and as soon as she reached out, she quickly grabbed the water bladder back and held it tightly in her arms.

Lin Wanrong's face was covered with dust, her feet were in the sand, and she squatted and hugged the crescent moon's body. At the last moment, he rushed over regardless of his life, but the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed: "What are you going to do?" You don't want to live, I still want to live, I'm really going to be angry with you! ”

"Don't do anything," the girl roared violently, several times louder than his, like an angry leopard, "I will give you the water of the earth, not a drop less." Do you understand? That's it!! ”

After speaking, she hugged the water bladder tightly, swooped into Lin Wanrong's arms, buried her head in his chest, and refused to move!
