Lin Xuan saw that Yuan Zhou was leading the old man on the side and didn't know what he was muttering, so he took three camels from the old man, handed over his two horses to the old man, and counted some silver.
"Let's go, this time with camels, it's much better in the desert, these camels all know the way, and when the time comes, it's hard to find the oasis, and then you can only rely on the camels to go by themselves." Yuan Zhou helped Lin Biyu and Wen Wan to get on the camel, and personally hugged Lin Xuan on another camel.
The camel bell jingled, and Lin Xuan felt a little drowsy.
Life in the desert was not easy, but fortunately, I changed a lot of dry food at the Black Wind Inn before, and finally did not run out of food.
There is a large temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and it can heat a person to death during the day, and at this time, Lin Xuan's sleeves and trouser legs are all pulled.
That is, she is young, and it is okay to do this, such as Lin Biyu, and several of them are still tightly covered.
The sweat on his face was like rain.
Although Lin Biyu was not young before, she was well maintained, and she looked like she was only in her early twenties.
But now, the skin on his face has long been tanned.
Several of them were black-red-black-red, and if they weren't seen by someone familiar, they would never recognize them.
Seeing that the sky is red, the sun is about to set.
There are no people in the desert, and a few people have to rely on themselves and find a place to stay.
Fortunately, they are all martial arts practitioners, and their movements are still very sharp.
Yuan Zhou lit a fire, Wen Wan surrounded the camels, and several people used the camels to build a simple tent.
I remember spending the night in the desert the first day, when few people didn't know that it would be so cold in the desert.
There was no fire at night, so I could only gather around the camels to keep warm, and I almost didn't freeze to death.
The sun rose the next day, and a few people were relieved.
After that, every day when walking on the road, when they came across dry grass and dead branches, several people would collect them and use them for fire at night.
Around the fire, Lin Biyu took out dry food from her arms and gave it to Lin Xuan.
The water was boiled on the fire, and several people drank it separately, and then they lay down with the camels beside them.
"We're running out of water." Lin Biyu said.
Yuan Zhou said "um", "It shouldn't be far from the next oasis, we have been walking for three days since we came out of the oasis." ”
Wen Wan was tired at this time, so she patted Yuan Zhou and said, "Go to bed early, get up early tomorrow, let's try to catch up tomorrow and see if we can get to the next oasis." ”
Lin Xuan had already slept at this time, it was really this day, she was too young to hold on.
After a while, all that was left of the tent was the sound of snoring.
The night is quiet, except for the occasional hum of the camels around them, the night in the desert is actually very quiet.
Occasionally, insects and geckos come out at night to feed, and they will hide from their fire.
The stars in the sky flickered with a faint light, and the sound of insects chirping in the distance, coupled with the snoring of Lin Xuan and the others, were intertwined, adding a point or two of vitality to the night in the desert.
When the sky slowly turned white, Yuan Zhou woke up first.
Push the things away from the fire, and there is a silly bird inside, which will eat just right.
Several people got up and ate separately, and then rode on their camels and set off.
In fact, Lin Xuan, who suffered a little sin and suffered a little on the road, could accept it, it was impossible to enjoy happiness when traveling in ancient times, and she had already understood.
Just one thing is the last thing she can accept.
That is, you can't brush your teeth in the morning.
"Senior brother......" Lin Xuan called weakly.
Yuan Zhou is very gentle and steady, and the little junior sister who is only three years old has been raised like a girl since she was a child.
"Little junior sister, bear with me, at most five days, and we will be able to go out."
Lin Xuan pouted and muttered, "Senior brother, I just want to ask, can we find something, brush your teeth so badly, it's uncomfortable in your mouth." ”
Yuan Zhou was stunned, quietly covered his mouth and blew and smelled, but he didn't smell anything.
also said in his heart, no, don't let Wen Wan smell her bad breath.
Thinking like this, this morning, Yuan Zhou avoided being gentle when he spoke.
Fortunately, with a gentle and grinning temperament, I didn't find anything wrong.
When the sun rose, the heat rose.
A few people gradually lost their physical strength, Lin Biyu stopped the camel and looked into the distance, "You see, on the map we collected last time, is the tree marked?" ”
Lin Xuan glanced at the dead tree over there, nodded and said, "Well, it should be this one, we are not far from the oasis, hurry up, we can probably arrive before dark tonight." ”
Several people were happy when they heard this, and if they could enter the oasis, they would be able to take a good rest.
At the very least, you can rehydrate and eat.
"Let's go, let's hurry up, and we can rest if we go early." After Lin Biyu finished speaking, she grabbed the camel in her legs and trotted forward.
Behind him, Wen Wan and Yuan Quan followed.
The group ran forward nervously, and no one noticed a pair of eyes quietly emerging from the sand.
……
"One, two, three! Shoot the arrows! ”
"Huh?" Lin Biyu drew a knife and immediately stood up a camel.
The long knife in her waist came out of its sheath, and a long arrow shot at her was knocked on the back of the knife, and it immediately fell to the ground on the side.
The knife in Wen Wan's hand looked much more delicate than the one in Lin Biyu's hand, but her movements did not hesitate, and for a while, there were bows and arrows next to her.
Yuan Zhou held Lin Xuan in his arms, and he didn't dare to be careless, and he couldn't splash the water with a long knife dance.
Lin Xuan was pressed to his chest, only to hear the sound of clanging, and after waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the bow and arrow over there stopped.
"Where are the rats, they will only hide and hide!" Wen Wan was immediately furious, and as soon as she clamped the camel between her legs, she planned to catch up.
Yuan Zhou, who was beside her, hurriedly stopped her, "Wan'er, come back!" ”
Wen Wan listened to him, and as soon as Yuan Zhou called her, even though she was a little reluctant, she still stopped, "Senior brother! Why don't you let me chase it! ”
Lin Xuan raised his head from Yuan Zhou's arms and looked at it.
At a glance, I found that the water bladder hanging on the side of the camel was broken, and it was leaking out.
She looked down and saw that the water bladder hanging from Yuanzhou's camel was also leaking.
"Senior brother, the water is leaking, our water is leaking."
Several people were shocked in their hearts, water in the desert is the most difficult thing, and they can't even hold on for a day without water.
"No wonder I always feel that their bows and arrows look murderous, but they are easy to block, it turns out that the target of these people is our water bladder at all, which is intended to directly make us thirsty to death." Wen Wan said hatefully.
"What are we going to do now!" Lin Biyu asked.
