Tian Ainu didn't struggle, she just lay quietly beside Yang Fan, her face covered with dust, her face haggard, and her chapped lips were bloodshot, but she looked like she had a pitiful beauty.

"Erlang, don't bother......"

She spoke suddenly, her voice was very clear, and she no longer had that feeling of infatuation, Yang Fan couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, the confusion and fear in Tian Ainu's eyes were gone, and his eyes seemed to have regained clarity all of a sudden.

She looked up at the gloomy sky, listened to the whistling wind, and suddenly smiled at Yang Fan, her smile was very quiet: "We are really going to die......"

This time, Yang Fan didn't refute her words, just stubbornly moved over, hugged her body, and wanted to drag her up, but his liliang was almost exhausted.

"Erlang, you know what?"

"Huh?"

Yang Fan lowered his head, Tian Ainu snuggled weakly in his arms, gently raised his hand, stroked his cheeks that were a little rough by the sand, and said weakly: "You know, I think ...... I like you. ”

Yang Fan wanted to laugh, but he just grinned, feeling a pain in his chapped lips, and his cheeks were numb and he couldn't laugh anymore.

"It's true."

Tian Ainu leaned into his arms, closed his eyes, and said softly: "I have never cared so much about a person, I care about him, I miss him, I like to know about him, I like to inquire about him, I like to look at him, I like to think about him......"

When Tian Ainu said this, he opened his eyes slightly, stared at Yang Fan, and said softly: "This is probably like someone." Jiro, do you have ...... Like me, a little? ”

Yang Fan nodded and nodded vigorously. Tian Ainu smiled. That little face covered with dust. The smile was as quiet and holy as an epiphany blooming quietly: "I once said that people don't love slaves, but God loves slaves!" But today...... God doesn't love me anymore......"

Tianainu turned his head slightly. Looking at the gray sky, he turned to Yang Fan and stared at his cheek. Fingers gently rubbed the hard stubble under his chin, and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, you love me, you really love me, right?" ”

Yang Fan nodded vigorously, his throat was choked, and the corners of his eyes were hot.

Tian Ainu sighed reassuringly, and said softly: "I can't do it, you can go by yourself, hopefully...... You can get out. All I beg you ...... Bury me. Bury it deeper, I don't want people or birds and beasts to ...... I'm afraid ...... eat into my stomach...... I'm really scared ......."

Under the dunes. Tenainu fell asleep.

These days. In fact, she never fell asleep all the time, when she gave up completely. The demon in her heart was no longer useful, and she had accepted death calmly. She was just asleep, and she was still breathing weakly, but she would probably never wake up from this sleep.

Yang Fan hugged her tightly in his arms, wanting to cry without tears.

I don't know when, the wind changed direction, Yang Fan didn't notice it, and he didn't have the will to go out, if two people are destined to die in this desert, then let them die together.

Yang Fan gently put down Tian Ainu and pulled out the knife on his waist, he wanted to dig a deep pit while he still had a little strength, and bury him and Tian Ainu in it.

Many years ago, when he was a child, he once dug the grave of Niuniu's mother, but the sadness at that time was completely different from the mood at this moment, and now, he is digging his own grave.

"Bang! Cha! Cha! ”

In the whimpering wind, only the sound of a cold blade inserting into the sand, dry, monotonous, with a chill.

The wind seemed to soften and hit his face, faintly cool.

It's not cold, it's really a chill. 、

Yang Fan gently wiped his cheek with the back of his palm, feeling a touch of astringent wetness, "Did I shed tears?" Yang Fan stopped the knife, raised his face, and another piece of something stuck to his cheek, quickly turning into a wet mark, Yang Fan was stunned, stunned for a long time, suddenly dropped the knife, and climbed up the sand dunes with his hands and feet.

Yang Fan panted and climbed the sand dune, the wind was blowing, and it was cool! It's really cool, wet and wet!

A snowflake hit his face again, Yang Fan stroked his cheek, and suddenly daxiao.

He laughed, rolled backwards, gurgled and rolled down the dune, rushed to Tian Ainu, picked her up, and shouted: "Anu! It's snowing! It's snowing! We've come to the edge, let's get out! Anu? ”

Anu's body seemed to be frozen, and even though Yang Fan shouted loudly, she still didn't move, her consciousness was already asleep, except for an imperceptible wisp of breath, she was no different from a corpse now.

Yang Fan patted her frozen face and shouted, "Anu! Anu! ”

Tian Ainu still didn't react, she was extremely hungry, thirsty, and sleepy, she no longer had to worry about the fear of not having food, she wanted to sleep in a shijie without hunger.

Snow, it's really coming.

As it fell, some snowflakes were blown by the wind and swept into the valley, which was not much, but brought hope.

But Tianainu still hasn't woken up......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tenainu fell asleep.

She no longer felt cold, hunger, thirst, or fear. In the dream, she vaguely returned to her carefree childhood, and she happily chased the chickens in the yard, causing them to "chirp" and run around.

A-Niang chased after her with a bowl of hot porridge, scolding her with laughter and anger, asking her to stop eating, she suddenly smelled a burst of aroma, and immediately felt hungry, so she obediently stopped.

The porridge was very fragrant and sweet, and she held the bowl and swallowed it in a big gulp, when suddenly a large number of locusts flew to the sky, the earth cracked, the trees gnawed away, and suddenly there was not a drop of porridge left in the bowl, and the whole courtyard was dilapidated and empty......

"Don't!"

Tian Ainu screamed and opened her eyes, and then, she found that she was still lying in the cold desert, lying in Yang Fan's arms, Yang Fan was half-squatting, holding her, his wrist was close to his mouth, Tian Ainu felt a fishy sweet taste in his mouth, that was ...... The taste of blood.

"You...... You ......"

Tian Ainu suddenly understood: "He is saving me!" He cut his own wrist. Save me with his blood! ”

Yang Fan saw her wake up. Surprised: "Anu! We are saved! We're on the edge! Look, look, it's snowing. There really are snowflakes! ”

Tian Ainu didn't look at the sky at all, nor did she feel whether there were snowflakes, she threw herself into Yang Fan's arms. Burst into tears.

She is not afraid of death, what she is afraid of is not hunger, what she is afraid of is the kind of family affection and humanity that have been completely wiped out under hunger! In that hunger, man became a wild beast, and man ate man, even his own relatives. She could not forget the helplessness, fear, sadness, and despair of her father as she was pushed into the dry well.

That scene became her unconquerable inner demon, which has been buried deep in her heart!

At this moment, that heart demon was finally completely wiped out by Yang Fan's blood. The ice in her heart finally melted, this is a tear of joy and tears, a tear of heart knot finally untied. The heavy burden that weighed on her heart was finally relieved. She cried to death. It seems that so many years of suffering are pouring out at this moment......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The two men were exhausted and got back on their feet. Supporting each other, walking in the direction the snowflakes are coming.

Actually, there are two things that Yang Fan doesn't understand.

One is that his blood does not quench the thirst of Tianainu. It's not that people are used to thinking that there is salt in the blood, but how much salt is in the blood, and more than 90 percent of it is water, but the problem is that unless you cut the arteries and pour all the blood in your body into someone else's drink, that amount of water is not enough to save a person's life.

However, Tian Ainu actually collapsed mainly because of her will, when the hot plasma woke her up, when she saw that Yang Fan was willing to sacrifice her life for her, her heart knot was untied, and she had the will and courage to survive.

The second thing Yang Fan didn't know was that it wasn't always snowing in the desert, and the snowy area wasn't necessarily at the edge of the desert, but fortunately, they had indeed reached the edge of the desert.

The two of them supported each other, and after walking for most of the night, the sand under their feet was white and covered with a layer of snow. They ate some snow, replenished their hydration and strength, and continued on their way, and when they were almost unable to hold on, their feet were on solid ground.

In front of him was a piece of Gobi, and there was a felt tent on the Gobi, and two people fell on the soft snow almost at the same time, and the heart was immediately steady......

……

Flying Fox Pass, is the first pass of the Turkic people to invade Longyou in the south, the Baiting garrison has a total of 15,000 people, of which 5,000 people are stationed in the Flying Fox Pass, and the other 10,000 people are stationed in Mingweishu, there are two lakes in front of Mingweishu, Xiu Tuze, Riting Sea, and Liangzhou are connected by the Macheng River.

The Great Wall was built in Mingweishu according to the geographical situation, and here is the first strong line of defense of the Liangzhou defenders, but because there are two lakes in front of Mingweishu, the surrounding water and grass are very abundant, and there are some small tribes belonging to the Tang Dynasty who live here, so the Tang army extended the first line of defense to the Flying Fox Pass, unless a large Turkic army arrives, a small group of troops or horse bandits cannot enter from this and raid the border people.

Flying fox mouth is a gap formed by the Helan mountain range stretching here, because the gap is larger, the mountains on both sides are relatively gentle so far, if you want to build a castle here to connect the two mountains, you need to use huge manpower and material resources, spend a lot of financial resources, so there is no delay in building a castle here by leaning on the mountain, otherwise the first line of defense in Liangzhou would have been set up here.

There is a military camp stationed in the two mountains of the Flying Fox Mouth, with 5,000 defenders, specially set up to deal with the small groups of Turkic tribes and horse bandits who come to attack and plunder, and the guard is an eagle general, named Xu Yisheng. Xu Lang will be in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, with handsome eyebrows and three slight whiskers under his chin, looking personable and a little confucian.

At this moment, Xu Yisheng was holding his hands behind his back, suspiciously circling around the few Turks who were bound in front of him.

These Turkic people dressed up are none other than Gao Sheji, Xiong Kaishan, and Yan Zhihe.

P: In the early morning, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended ticket support!!
