Aheqi glanced at her contemptuously, rather disapprovingly, and then chewed on the steamed bun.

Lin Ling'er clenched her fists in anger, Tuoba Jiuxiao's big hand reached over, wrapped her fist, squeezed it hard, and shook her head at her.

"Eat first, or the guy will eat it up, and we won't have to eat."

He made a rare joke with her, and then handed over a steamed bun.

She was so angry that she grabbed the steamed buns and didn't know the taste.

Aheqi was the first to eat, and he threw his head up and drank the water in the water bag, which he almost drank out, and finally fed the rest of the water to the camels.

"Ahqi, what are you doing?"

Lin Ling'er immediately stood up and accused Aheqi,

"Don't you know how important water is to humans in the desert? Why give water to camels to drink? ”

Aheqi didn't even look at her, still petting the camel and feeding it water:

"You need water, so do the animals, and if you die of exhaustion, don't blame me for not taking you to your daughter."

"Do you think I haven't walked through the desert? The camel does need to drink water, but it drinks groundwater, not to drink water from people, if you are afraid that it will die of thirst, you go and dig a well for it! What do you mean, do you have in mind? ”

Lin Ling'er couldn't hold back her anger, and rushed to Aheqi to question.

Aheqi's approach is indeed excessive, the three of them, nine camels, if the water brought by them is given to each camel to drink, then within two days, they will be cut off from the water, and it will take at least 10 days to get out of this desert, isn't he blatantly provocative?

Aheqi threw away the empty water bag and sneered:

"Do you have the ability to kill me?"

"You ......"

Lin Ling'er grabbed him by the collar,

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

"Hmph, you really don't dare, only I know where Lord Nangong is, unless you don't want a daughter, ......"

He looked down at Lin Ling'er's hand and smiled proudly,

"It's better to save it!"

Lin Ling'er knew that she couldn't do anything to him, but she couldn't be angry, she raised her hand and slapped it, and the crisp sound was quickly dispersed by the wind in the desert, but the five red fingerprints were left on her face.

"You ......"

Aheqi's eyes were round, and he raised his hand to fight back, when a big hand appeared out of thin air, grabbed Aheqi's wrist, twisted and pushed, Aheqi lost his balance and rushed forward, fell a dog to eat, and gnawed a mouthful of sand.

"Lead your way."

Tuoba Jiuxiao said coldly, although it was just an ordinary sentence, it carried a hint of threat.

Aheqi stood up unconvinced, looked at Tuoba Jiuxiao, and saw his majestic body standing proudly, with a pair of deep eyes with a terrifying light, just looking at him for two seconds, Aheqi looked away with some fear, and obediently got on the camel.

Tuoba Jiuxiao then helped Lin Ling'er to get on the camel, and a group of three people and nine camels hit the road again.

In the following time, Aheqi did not act excessively again, and said very little, just quietly led the way.

In the evening, he shouted that he was dizzy and couldn't walk, saying that he might be suffering from heat stroke and that he needed to find a place to rest.

In fact, it wasn't just him, he was supposed to travel at night, but he did the opposite, and was exposed to the scorching sun for a day, who could not feel uncomfortable?

Tuoba Jiuxiao did not object, the nine camels formed a circle, and the three of them rested in the middle, and the first day was spent like this.

For the next three days, Aheqi led the way honestly, but still did not follow the rules of nocturnal walking, saying that he would not be able to discern the direction at night and could only travel during the day.

On the night of the third day, Aheqi said that it was time for camels to drink, in the desert, camels generally drink groundwater, this Lin Ling'er knew, so the three of them began to look for a place to grow desert plants, walked for a while, and finally saw a red willow.

Aheqi jumped off the camel, patted the trunk of the red willow and said:

"See, there's water twenty feet under this tree, dig it."

With that, he led the camel to the side and sat it down, while he lay down leisurely on the camel's body, holding the red willow branch he had just broken in his mouth, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Lin Ling'er walked up to him and kicked him unceremoniously:

"Who do you ask to dig the water? Get up! ”

Aheqi opened his eyes unhappily and looked at her:

"Who do I care if you dig it? Whoever is in a hurry digs! Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, even if the camel dies of thirst, I have a way to get out of this desert, and I am not in a hurry to find my daughter, you love to dig or not. ”

He rolled over, hugged his shoulders and continued to pretend to sleep, as if he didn't care about himself.

Lin Ling'er gritted her teeth with hatred, but she couldn't bear it, she wasn't afraid of dying here, she was only afraid that she wouldn't see her daughter, so she was so controlled by others.

On the other side, Tuoba Jiuxiao has already started to dig sand, Lin Ling'er turned around and saw this scene, he took an iron shovel and dug the sand one by one, twenty feet deep, equivalent to a distance of about 7 meters underground, when will this be dug up?

He digs alone, and he was physically exhausted when he was in a hurry during the day, but now he comes to dig sand again, isn't it to tire people down?

She walked over, took out another shovel, and helped Xiao dig the sand together.

Unexpectedly, Xiao was not angry with Aheqi, nor did he refuse Lin Ling'er's help, but just buried his head in hard work.

"I want to kill him!"

Lin Ling'er went down, plunged into the sand fiercely, and whispered through gritted teeth.

Xiao looked up at her, smiling:

"There's going to be a chance."

The two took turns digging in the sand, working for a while and resting for a while, but Aheqi was lazily eating and sleeping, Lin Ling'er saw that the food and fresh water were eaten by him, and wanted to snatch it but was stopped by Xiao.

"If you don't want him to eat, you can eat more."

He whispered.

"Originally, the food for two people has to be eaten by three people, and if we continue like this, we will be cut off from water and food without waiting for the place, and even if we find Qiqi by then, we may not be able to get out of the desert!"

Lin Ling'er said worriedly.

"Do you think Nangong will easily return Qiqi to us?"

He looked at her and said affirmatively in a rhetorical tone,

"We must see Nangong Jue as soon as possible, and doing what Aheqi said is the fastest way."

From Aheqi's various performances, it can be seen that Nangong has ulterior motives, without water and food, walking under the scorching sun, letting him dig sand and drink camels, and even give the camels the fresh water he brought, all kinds of signs show that Aheqi wants to consume their physical strength and replenishment as soon as possible, maybe when they are dying, Nangong Jue will appear.

Lin Ling'er was just anxious to see Qiqi at first, but now when she heard Xiao's analysis, she realized that she was thinking too simply.

"What does Nangong definitely want? What exactly does he want? ”

She began to worry that her love for Qiqi had always led her, but thinking that she might leave Xiao because of this, her heart throbbed again, was she destined not to be with her beloved in this life?

Xiao lightly hooked the corners of his lips and said:

"Maybe what I have, he wants."

What does he have? The throne, the country, the woman, the child......

"He's gone too far, wishful thinking!"

What is Nangong absolutely for? To exchange a child for all this, despicable, shameless,

"I'm not going to let him get away with it!"

"Is the well dug ready? The throats of the camels are smoking! What are you two muttering there? ”

Aheqi closed his eyes and said lazily,

"I advise you, if you want to see your daughter soon, do as I say, delay a moment more, and Xiao Qiqi will suffer a moment more!"

Lin Ling'er's chest was already filled with anger, and she grabbed a handful of sand and threw it at Aheqi:

"Shut up!"

Ah Heqi was thrown sand, and when he remembered the theory, when he saw the two cold eyes behind Lin Ling'er, he could only shake his eyebrows and continue to lie with his eyes closed, as if nothing had happened.

Tuoba Jiuxiao pulled her body, gently hugged her into his arms, and said something in her ear, she looked at him stunned, then nodded, and threw herself into his arms again.

A moment of hugging brought her a moment of warmth and comfort, she didn't dare to hope for a perfect ending, at this time her heart was like a stone, if she had to choose, she had already made a decision.

After another three days, the three of them had run out of food, and Aheqi rummaged through every basket on the camel's body, not a drop of grain, and he rummaged through every water bag, and there was not a drop of water left, and he was so thirsty that he lay on the camel's back and panted, looking at the scorching sun above his head, but he laughed secretly.

Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er glanced at each other, and some of Xiao's thoughts seemed to be confirmed.

Lin Ling'er was also thirsty and hungry, and gasped:

"Aheqi, it's all your fault, we have run out of ammunition and food, but you haven't taken us to our destination yet, if this continues, we will all die in the desert!"

Aheqi turned his face to look at her and laughed weirdly:

"It's almost there, and if you hold on for two more days, it's here."

"Two more days?"

Lin Ling'er screamed in surprise, but her voice was empty.

In order to conserve his strength, Aheqi lay motionless on the back of the camel, and did not answer her, but only moved forward.

Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er also followed his example, and as he moved forward, Lin Ling'er's lips showed a sly smile.

Two days later, Aheqi finally brought them to the designated place, a sparse poplar forest.

Thirsty and hungry, he finally couldn't hold on, and fell off his camel and into the yellow sand, wheezing.

Tuoba Jiuxiao and Lin Ling'er were still lying on the camel, although they did not fall, they looked pale and chapped and dying.

"It's here, it's here."

Aheqi struggled to spit out two words, his voice so weak that he could barely hear them.

No one moved, and after a while, a camel bell rang from far and near, and listening to the sound, there should be dozens of camels.

Tuoba Jiuxiao's eyebrows tightened, and at the same time, Lin Ling'er also opened her eyes that had been closed, and the two looked at each other, Nangong Jue, finally came.

The sound of camel bells passed through the poplar forest, gradually surrounding them, surrounding them, Lin Ling'er slowly got up, and when she sat up straight, what appeared in the field of vision was the familiar face, familiar eyes.
