Chapter 485: Arriving at the Oasis
The violent wind blows up the yellow sand, turning the world into chaos, and I don't know the passage of time, I don't know the change of direction.
The trio were in the leeward of a sand dune, leaning on the broad bodies of camels to hide from the yellow sand. Fortunately, they were only on the periphery of the sandstorm, and the situation was not particularly bad.
Jade Tilting City once proposed to go out against the storm and get out of the range of the sandstorm, but Zhou Fen vetoed it. The reason is that there is no sense of direction in the sandstorm, and if you don't want to go to the center of the sandstorm, you will be in trouble.
However, despite the fact that the sandstorm was moving very fast and they were on the periphery of the sandstorm, the sandstorm continued for a long time without stopping, as if the sandstorm had stayed in this place.
In this case, the three of them could only obediently stay where they were, consuming food and water in vain. But after they took water for the second time, the three camels suddenly rushed into the sandstorm as if frightened, and when the three of them reacted, the camels had disappeared in the sandstorm with extremely low visibility.
It is almost impossible to recover the camel in such a situation. The three of them could only honestly wait for the sandstorm to stop.
I don't know when, the wind began to decrease, until the yellow sand stopped flying, the sandstorm finally stopped, and the sun fell on the three of them again, as if a century had passed.
"Water and food were taken away by camels. But I still have a pot of water in case of emergency. Zhou Fen took off the hairpin, spread his hair and asked while cleaning the sand, "Do you want to continue moving forward or return to the town to replenish supplies and start again?" ”
Yu Qingcheng licked his lips that were a little dry and asked, "How long will it take to get to Huangshazhou?" ”
Zhou Fen said: "If you walk, with my footsteps, it should take two or two nights to force the time when the temperature is at its highest." But...... I remember there was a very oasis on this route, and there was a spring there, and if you could find it, at least drinking water would not be a problem. ”
Jade Tilt City cast an inquiring glance at the Demon Blood Trace. Demon Blood Stain said, "If we go back, we may not have enough water." ”
Of course, he and Yu Chengcheng started light skills quickly, but the problem was that Zhou Fen's light skills were really out of their eyes, and because of avoiding the sandstorm, they had deviated from their original routes, and without Zhou Fen to guide them, they might not be able to get out of the desert if they had never had experience in desert walking.
Yu Chengcheng looked at Zhou Fen: "Are you sure to take us back?" ”
Zhou Fen shook his head: "Without enough water, it can't support strenuous exercise at all." If we return, we have a 50% chance of surviving, and if we go to find the oasis, as long as the spring does not dry up in the sandstorm, we will definitely make it to the yellow sandbar alive. ”
Jade Fall City and Demon Blood Trace glanced at each other, and they suddenly realized that even if they could find their way, they might not be able to get out, because they did ignore the physical exertion of hurrying, and in the desert, strenuous exercise was the least cost-effective.
"So, let's move on."
Zhou Fen led the two of them to continue walking for a while, and after avoiding the hottest midday sun, they continued to walk into the dark. When I was hungry and thirsty, I finally saw a pleasing touch of green.
"Thank you, both, the spring is still there." Zhou Fen was overjoyed, regardless of the consumption of physical strength, he ran to the spring water that was only the size of a table, and buried his face directly in the water.
Jade Allure City and Demon Blood Traces didn't care about the image, so they ran to the spring and took a big sip of the spring water.
At this time, Zhou Fen raised his head from the water and said, "Don't drink water when you're thirsty, it's not good for your health." ”
Yu Chengcheng was stunned and asked, "Then what were you doing just now?" ”
"Cool down." Zhou Fen took out the empty chat kettle from his waist, poured it with spring water, and drank it slowly.
The three of them rested here for a while, and suddenly an abrupt "grunt" sound came out, and Yu Chengcheng touched his stomach a little embarrassed.
Zhou Fen looked at the time, got up and said, "Okay, take advantage of the cool air and hurry as soon as possible." Look for anything that can hold water, and it's hard to find a replenishment for the rest of the journey. ”
The only container for the three of them is the kettle that Zhou Fen used just in case, and there are only a few shrubs near this spring, where is there anything that can hold water?
Jade Chengcheng thought about it: "In this case, it is better to drink more water now." ”
Zhou Fen was noncommittal, so Yu Chengcheng and the demon blood stain poured a stomach of water again, until he couldn't drink it anymore, and then he went on the road with Zhou Fen, of course, Zhou Fen also drank it, but it was not so exaggerated.
As the three of them walked, Yu Chengcheng's face became more and more ugly, and finally he couldn't help but say, "My head hurts a little, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”
The demon blood stain looked at Yu Chengcheng, and then found that Yu Chengcheng's face was a little swollen, and hurriedly asked, "Miss Zhou, what's wrong with her?" ”
Zhou Fen glanced at it and said casually: "Don't drink too much water in the morning, but people who practice martial arts shouldn't have any big problems, and they can't die." ”
Yu Chengcheng complained weakly: "Why don't you stop me? Did you do it on purpose? ”
Zhou Fen said: "I'm sorry, you didn't listen." Sister Yu, people like you have probably never experienced the feeling of relying on cold water to satisfy their hunger, so you don't want to believe these experiences. ”
Yu Chengcheng didn't want to talk anymore, lowered his head and endured the discomfort and walked a few steps, suddenly his stomach rolled, and he opened his mouth and spit out a puddle of clear water.
"Allure, you don't care, right? Do you want me to carry you" The demon blood mark held up the jade city and asked with concern.
Yu Chengcheng shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can go by myself." ”
She now feels more and more that Zhou Fen was sent by Luo Han to deliberately fix her, but it can't be done without Zhou Fen as a guide, Yu Chengcheng secretly swore that when that guy is solved, he must teach this woman who doesn't know the height of the land a good lesson.
For the rest of the trip, Yu Chengcheng had to endure physical discomfort, but fortunately, his symptoms were reduced a lot after sweating in the morning. But at noon, because there was nothing to carry on the camels, the three of them had to take off their clothes to cover their whole bodies and endure the scorching sun under the scorching sun. By the time he set off again, the pot of water that Zhou Fen was carrying had already been empty. And because they couldn't sleep at all, they had to get a little more sleep at night.
Without drinking water, Sanrao's state is getting worse and worse, and the only thing that can make Jade Dumping City and the demon blood trace a little relieved is that Zhou Fen has always been very calm. However, they didn't bother to ask Zhou Fen when he would arrive, because they didn't even want to waste their strength to speak.
After another white, the lips of the three were already cracked, their throats were as dry as if they were filled with sand, and their bodies fell into a state of severe dehydration.
An oasis suddenly appeared in front of them, and the Jade Fallen City and the Demon Blood Trace were in great spirits, and they were about to walk towards that side. But Zhou Fen was indifferent and continued to move in the original direction.
Yu Chengcheng said in a hoarse voice, "There is an oasis over there. ”
Zhou Fen said: "No, it's just a mirage." ”
Yu Chengcheng looked over there, a little unwilling, but she knew that at least Zhou Fen would not kill herself, so she had to follow Zhou Fen.
After walking for a few more hours, Yu Chengcheng felt that his sweat was about to run dry, and Zhou Fen suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground and groped in a sand dune.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Fen didn't say anything, just dug out a wooden sign from the sand dune, then looked up at the starry sky, and suddenly quickened his pace.
Jade Falling City and Demon Blood Marks were overjoyed in their hearts, knowing that they must be about to get there, so they hurriedly followed.
Sure enough, after continuing to walk for an hour, a fire appeared in front of me. If there is fire, it means that there are people, and if there are people, there may be water.
The three of them walked towards the firelight, and after walking for another half an hour, they finally arrived at the location where the firelight was.
It is a vast oasis surrounded by green trees and grass, and a sparkling lake sits in the middle of the oasis that supplies water to the surrounding plants.
In the moonlight, a shirtless man sits by the lake, a flaming torch hangs from a large tree next to him, and a wooden table with some food and a jug of wine on it.
"I think you might be delayed by a sandstorm, so I'm here to wait for you." The man stood up and turned around, it was Luo Han.
Zhou Fen ran over quickly, bowed and said, "Master, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
"Well, it's hard work, let's go eat something and rest by yourself."
Zhou Fen retreated and went to the nearby Huangshazhou disciples to build a house to replenish the water.
Luo Han looked at the Jade Falling City and the demon blood marks, and said with a smile: "Lady, you seem to be tanned. ”
Yu Chengcheng glared at Luo Han and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Anyway, we are also husband and wife who have visited the ground, and being a husband and caring for his wife is also a matter of cleaning up, isn't it? But even if she gets a lot of tan, the lady is just as beautiful and moving. Luo Han walked a few steps along the shore of the lake and said, "The journey is tiring, and I have prepared wine and food for my husband, please use it slowly." ”
Jade Chengcheng was already hungry, thirsty and tired at this time, so he didn't bother to talk to Luo Han, so he walked to the lake with the demon blood stain, and drank a few sips of water before walking to the table and preparing to eat.
Luo Han suddenly laughed evilly: "Aren't you afraid that I will poison the food?" ”
Yu Chengcheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the demon blood mark, and the demon blood mark lowered his head and sniffed the smell of food, shaking his head to indicate that there was nothing abnormal.
Luo Han shrugged and said, "Just kidding." Brother Simon is still in your hands, how can I poison you? If I am a dueling with someone, how will I walk the rivers and lakes in the future if I use such a despicable means to spread it? ”
Yu Chengcheng understood that Luo Han was really teasing her, the demon blood mark was experienced, even if she was hungry and thirsty, she would first determine whether the food could be eaten, only if she was young, she would be teased.
Ignoring Luo Han no more, Jade Tilting City began to eat. Luo Han stood at a safe distance and said slowly: "This is an oasis on the periphery of Huangshazhou, and there is still some distance from where the Huangshazhou sect is located. But I don't think you're interested in visiting Huangshazhou, so let's talk about the duel. ”
The two didn't answer, and Luo Han didn't care, and continued: "Although I don't have any feelings for the Ximen family, Ximen Yuan is my friend after all, and you guys arresting him and the people of the Ximen family are just trying to force me to come forward." Now that they have seen me, they should be released. When you've rested enough, please write a letter back, and I'll have someone send it out. As for the duel, I don't think it's too much trouble, right here, the time is set for the next sunset. Today, plus Ming and Houbai, Uncle Bloodstain should also rest. When the time comes, I promise that I will not run unless absolutely necessary, do you have an opinion? ”
Demon Blood Stain shook his head: "No comment." ”
Luo Han smiled: "In this case, we should be able to coexist peacefully." The two rooms with black cloth at the door are for you, and you can go and rest after you have eaten. So, I wish you all a good dream. ”
Luo Han left abruptly, and after the two of them finished eating, they came to the room hung with black cloth, there were prepared clothes and some daily necessities in the room, and the exhausted two people got up to check their spirits and confirmed that there was no problem before lying on the wooden bed and falling asleep peacefully.
After sleeping until noon, Yu Chengcheng woke up, propped up the window and looked outside, there seemed to be no one here. Jade Chengcheng picked up his clothes and planned to go to the lake to take a bath.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a plate at the door, with water and bread on the plate, which should be the breakfast prepared by Luo Han. Yu Chengcheng took a sip of water, put the bread in the room, walked to the lake, looked left and right, and saw no people, so he found a place with shade, unbuttoned his clothes, and entered the lake Zheng
After comfortably washing off the dirt on his body, Jade Leaned against the shore of the lake, enjoying the coolness of the lake.
At this time, Zhou Fen walked out of a room, walked to the lake with a bucket, and when he saw Yu Chengcheng, he was surprised: "Sister Yu, are you taking a bath here?" ”
Jade Chengcheng was dissatisfied: "What? Isn't it possible? If you want to fetch water, go over there. ”
Zhou Fen glanced at the center of the lake with a strange expression and walked around to the other side.
"Hey, me, are there only two people here, you and Lin Han? Why haven't I seen your disciples of Huangshazhou? ”
Zhou Fen replied: "The head of the sect sent everyone else away, so that you would not be unhappy and kill people, leaving me to take care of your diet." If he kills me, he will go back to Huangshazhou to retreat, and you have no one to lead the way, don't try to walk from here to Huangshazhou. ”
Yu Chengcheng snorted coldly: "Does he think that this sister is as murderous as him?" By the way, what about him now? ”
Zhou Fen's eyes rolled and said, "The head of the house is still here, but where it is, I'm not very convenient." ”
Yu Chengcheng looked around and asked, "Won't you still be sleeping?" ”
Zhou Fen didn't answer, fetched a bucket of water and turned to leave.
There was a long roar from this time and space, and a golden eagle circled and fell, and a person suddenly rushed out of the center of the lake, jumped to the shore, and took out a note from the bamboo tube on the golden eagle's leg.
Jade Chengcheng quickly went through the matter, his face suddenly turned crimson, and he screamed.
Luo Han said lazily: "What is it called?" It's not that I haven't seen it? ”
"You pervert, what are you doing hiding in the lake?"
"You're a pervert. I cultivated my breath in the water well, and I stripped naked and went into the water without asking. I deliberately didn't come out in order not to embarrass you, but you're fine, and you won't go out after washing. ”
"You bastard!"
"Pull" Luo Han casually shredded the note he had read in his hand with Zhenyuan, and turned around and walked towards his room.
