Chapter 489: Oasis
Mu Bai heard this call, and he didn't dare to answer it again just through this tone.
Even though the basket was already close at hand, his hand had reached the handrail of the basket.
It's only strange that Chu Yunshen's voice warned that the meaning was too obvious, where did Mu Bai still not understand.
was cast by Mu Bai with a complaining look, Chu Yunshen didn't say anything, just continued to look at Mu Bai indifferently and stopped talking.
Several people were caught in a strange stalemate.
The sun was too strong, and the businessman held it for a long time, so he had to put the basket first, go to pick up the water bladder on his waist, and take a big sip of "grunt".
"Can I ask Your Excellency for a bowl of soup?" We can pay. ”
Strange Chu Yunshen opened his today's divine dialogue again, his fingers tapping on his side intentionally or unintentionally, and asked the businessman with a smile.
Cheng Xiaoxiao couldn't understand Chu Yunshen's thoughts at all now, especially when she heard Chu Yunshen say such things.
A bowl of soup costs ten taels of silver, even if people are really willing to send it, then they are definitely embarrassed to take it.
And just now didn't say that this soup was very special or something, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't have amnesia, Chu Yunshen heard that words with her, and also heard that this soup was only three bowls or something.
She also wanted to ask Chu Yunshen what his meaning was, that is, in front of the businessman, she couldn't open her mouth now.
Do you want to bite your ears?
As soon as this thought popped out, Cheng Xiaoxiao leaned towards Chu Yunshen's ear.
Seeing that the distance between the two was getting closer and closer, Chu Yunshen's expression became a little weird. However, he didn't retreat, just stood in place and watched Cheng Xiaoxiao lean over a little bit.
Just when the two of them were about to stick together, a voice interjected at an inopportune time:
"This soup can only be made three bowls a day, which is very demanding, and since others have already made reservations, I can't break the contract."
It's a businessman.
He was stunned again, "It's all a small business, and the son eats the fruit." ”
These words were reasonable, but the darkness in Chu Yunshen's eyes became heavier.
He suddenly lowered his eyes and laughed, and that smile was like breaking a pool of spring water, which was very beautiful.
"I might as well invite Your Excellency to drink water as a thank you."
Chu Yunshen looked at Langying lightly, "You go and get it." ”
Langying was still discussing with Mu Bai in a whisper, and was stunned when he heard this order, "Childe, we don't have much water, and we are in a hurry to go elsewhere." ”
Chu Yunshen seemed to have expected that Langying would answer like this, and he commanded with confidence:
"To the north, within ten miles, there will be a water source."
Then Chu Yunshen looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao again: "Xiaoxiao also go together, go wash your face and refresh yourself, aren't you too hot?" ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao's words that she wanted to ask were blocked in her heart, she was stunned, and then nodded in agreement.
"Okay."
This may be the most obedient Cheng Xiaoxiao ever had, she promised so happily that she would do whatever Chu Yunshen said.
Why? Probably, I think it's hard for Chu Yunshen to be upright and have a time when she is needed.
So I want to show off and tell the other party that she can also come in handy, and she can live up to the task assigned by Chu Yunshen.
Recalling the scene that Chu Yunshen had just promised just now, Cheng Xiaoxiao took Yueyin and Langying to carry the water bladder towards the directionless water source.
They have a feeling that they were called out in "Journey to the West", but they don't know where the road is.
Originally, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought that Mu Bai would come with her, but before leaving, the blackbird suddenly circled over the carriage, and then flew away slowly in one direction.
It was extremely lazy like that, and kept signaling to a few people on the ground, which seemed to be more like hinting to Cheng Xiaoxiao and them to hurry up.
Originally, a few people planned to ignore it, but the blackbird repeatedly opened its mouth, and it was almost 'blockbuster' again.
If it really screams, then who can withstand it.
In the end, Cheng Xiaoxiao confessed first, saying that she still had to go with the blackbird, but how could Chu Yunshen rest assured. The two discussed, and Cheng Xiaoxiao hit Mu Bai with the idea.
First, Mu Baihui martial arts; The second is that Mu Bai knows how to heal, if something really happens, Mu Bai can still protect himself.
Can Mu Bai refuse?
No.
If he said "no", then this matter of exchanging water for sea buckthorn fruit can only be a dream.
Cheng Xiaoxiao, the chicken thief, successfully avoided going to the unknown land alone with the blackbird, and successfully persuaded Chu Yunshen to give orders.
As for Cheng Xiaoxiao's good friend Zhu Rong, the situation on her side is even more difficult to explain.
Songtao's ears were originally said to be fine in a few days, but who would have thought that it would be repeated along the way.
The other people in the secret guard are all big men, all of them are rough, and they are all blind when they are injured in the past, let alone take care of others.
Therefore, this task can only fall on the only female secret guard Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong is taking care of Songtao all the way, and now it is naturally no exception.
Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't mention to Zhu Rong about the blackbird asking for someone to follow at all, nor did she let Chu Yunshen tell Zhu Rong to come with her to fetch water.
Facts have proved that Cheng Xiaoxiao's approach still makes her regret it a little.
What does Yueyin say, Cheng Xiaoxiao is not familiar with it, and the only few contacts are just a face-to-face and over. I only have the impression that Yue Yin is a steady person by feeling, and he is a bit similar to Tingzhu.
Shadow talks a lot, and he is young, so he basically can't hide anything.
But he always had an expression of wanting to speak in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, which made Cheng Xiaoxiao very depressed. She's not a flood beast, and she's under a lot of pressure to make a shadow.
How did Cheng Xiaoxiao know that the secret guards of the shadows had been called to talk in private.
Xiao Wu reminded him again, and Chu Yunshen personally explained again, and they were absolutely not allowed to talk and behave more in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, let alone take Cheng Xiaoxiao out to eat, drink and have fun without permission.
Chu Yunshen's arrangement is not because of anything else, it is not that Cheng Xiaoxiao has a lot of ideas and loves to be smart.
If the secret guards were really fooled by Cheng Xiaoxiao and went out together, there might be some chaos.
In this way, the wood has become a boat, and even the most active shadow is just obediently hurrying, and Cheng Xiaoxiao has no choice but to remain silent.
Several people walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and Cheng Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but ponder:
"Shadow, do you think that your master seems to have something to say just now?"
Walking in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao, Langying's footsteps were obviously stagnant, he did not answer Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately, but thought seriously for a moment before probing:
"Maybe it's testing you? The Lord used to give us problems, and if we didn't understand it, we would just be punished. ”
Test?
People who don't understand it still have to be punished?
Don't say it so scary.
Cheng Xiaoxiao originally just felt that the matter of fetching water was a little weird, but now when she heard Rong Ying say this, she instantly felt pressured, and even her steps became heavy.
She continued to recall the details in her mind with a frown, for fear that if she missed any link, it would lead to her judgment wrong, so that as Langying said, she ended up 'not thinking about it'.
Receiving punishment and losing face, Cheng Xiaoxiao doesn't want any of them.
Anyway, Chu Yunshen wants to play like this, which makes Cheng Xiaoxiao, who just wants to talk about ordinary love, really unbearable.
Who made her fall in love with a legendary man who shouldn't have been loved.
Alas, bad fate.
Seeing that Cheng Xiaoxiao, who sighed, was becoming more and more autistic, Yueyin, who was silent on the side, thought about it and reminded in a low voice:
"The girl doesn't have to worry so much, it was because of our own carelessness that we missed the clues that need attention."
What do you mean?
Cheng Xiaoxiao turned her face sideways, wanting to see the expression on Yueyin's face.
Feeling Cheng Xiaoxiao's gaze, Yue Yin was obviously a little embarrassed, but he still finished his words after 1510: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, it is a good thing for the Lord to do this, otherwise if we really make mistakes when life and death are fighting, it will not be such a simple matter as receiving punishment." ”
Cheng Xiaoxiao thought about Yueyin's words, followed behind and nodded thoughtfully.
What Yue Yin said is indeed reasonable, Chu Yunshen is training the secret guard in disguise. When the dark guards get used to the big and small problems, and when they really encounter emergencies, they can handle everything quietly.
It is quite scientific to achieve qualitative change through quantitative change.
"But how did he find out about the clue to the water source?"
Three or two sentences opened the conversation, and it was natural for Cheng Xiaoxiao to chat with them again: "I still can't figure it out, Yueyin, do you know?" ”
"I don't know, since the Lord said that we are going this way, then we will receive the order."
Yue Yin frowned at Cheng Xiaoxiao, he looked deeply at the endless yellow sand in the distance, and only responded to Cheng Xiaoxiao's question lightly.
Since these two people couldn't come to any conclusions, Cheng Xiaoxiao really couldn't figure it out, so she had to hold back the uneasiness in her heart and obediently responded:
"Yes, let's look for it."
had been busy talking to the businessman before, and Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't have time to see clearly the Huanyang Desert they were in.
If you come to look for a water source just now and are absent-minded, you will really let go of your mind and empty yourself. Cheng Xiaoxiao simply looked at everything in front of her, planning to study the so-called 'Huanyang Desert'.
The reason why the Huanyang Desert is called this name seems to have a few words to describe it: the lonely smoke is broken, and the yellow sand rises all over the ground; The wandering soul knows it, and he is still outside.
Of course, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand this description.
The ancients liked to make these vain things, and as a new generation of fashionable women, she didn't understand literature, which is also harmless.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was obviously a little weak when she said this, otherwise she wouldn't have stuck her feet in the yellow sand several times, and she still needed to stop and spend some time before she could use her skill to pull it out little by little.
The remnant sun was like blood, hanging in the sky above the desert, staining a large area of the sky red.
In the distance, the endless yellow sand stretched, and the wind came from a high place, carrying a yellow mist, and the yellow sand blown up by the wind rolled and gasped in the desert, shouting to devour everyone.
In addition to the afterglow of the setting sun, there were also a few bleak yellow clouds in the sky.
Yes, the clouds of the Huanyang Desert are also the same color as the yellow sand, the kind of yellow that is lighter and fluttering, like the yellow sand being blown into the air, and it will not be able to disperse for a while and a half.
After walking for a while, there was indeed an oasis in front of me.
