After a pause, Qin Yuxi continued: "Once it penetrates into the flesh and skin of a person, there is no way to revive it. ”

"Oh, I see, it's good that I was able to hide quickly." Qin Zhi smiled and said, "Sister, you must be tired, let's sleep for a while." ”

Qin Yuxi leaned her head on Qin Zhi's back and slowly closed her eyes.

Hao Wu followed behind them with red eyes and silently wiped his tears. Qin Yuxi looked like she was dying, she was really worried that she would never wake up again as soon as she fell asleep.

As soon as he accidentally sobbed, he heard Qin Yuxi say, "Do you see the door in front?" I didn't turn back because of you, just to get the key. So, take back your tears, it annoys me to hear. ”

Hao Wuxuan hurriedly suppressed his voice and looked at Qin Zhi, who was looking back and laughing at her.

Five days later, in the desert town, Hao Wuxuan walked on a path full of yellow sand.

After being fished out of the sea by the townsfolk here, she changed into the townman's attire - an earthy gray cotton and linen skirt.

This town is probably the only oasis in the desert of death, and because of its proximity to the sea, the people here only have a small amount of land, so most of them have to rely on fishing.

In the few days since he came here, Hao Wuxuan heard something from a child.

The child said that their tribe was originally very powerful, and their land was several times larger than here, but because of a war ten years ago, many people were buried in the desert, and their land was swallowed by the desert at that time, and only a few people escaped and found the green land by the sea, which has continued to reproduce to this day.

When Hao Wuxuan expressed his gratitude to the family who saved them, the hostess said that there was no need to thank them, it was the will of the water god to save them, and it was the water god who sent them to the shore.

Hao Wuxuan remembered that Qin Yuxi had said that worshipping the god of water as a god was the belief of the Yi tribe, but when she asked if she knew about the Yi tribe, the family denied it and deliberately avoided all questions related to the Yi tribe.

As she was walking, she saw a rickety old woman fetching a bucket of water from a well at a fork in the road, her dry hand was not steady, and the bucket almost fell off the string of the well.

The old woman looked up at Hao Wuxuan with her wrinkled face, and thanked her with a kind smile.

Hao Wu said extravagantly: "Grandma, I'll help you carry it into the house!" ”

"Okay, thank you, little girl!" The old woman nodded, and took Hao Wu to the small courtyard next to her, saying as she walked, "The little girl is not from our town at first glance, I heard that Mrs. Ge and her family rescued a few outsiders a few days ago, it's you, right?" ”

"Yes." Hao Wu replied with a smile and put the bucket in the kitchen of the old woman's house, "Grandma, the water is here, I'm leaving." The next time you fetch water alone, do less because it won't be good if you fall. ”

The old woman smiled and nodded, "Little girl, it's not early, and my old man is coming back soon, why don't you go back to Mrs. Ge after dinner?" ”

"No, my friend will be worried if he goes back late." Hao Wuxuan hesitated for a while, but still asked, "Grandma, I want to ask you something." ”

"You say." The old woman is humane.

"Do you know about the Cytes?" Hao Wu looked at the old woman with a hopeful face.

The smile on the old woman's face froze for a moment, then lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Hearing this, Hao Wuxuan nodded in frustration, turned around and walked out.

But she always felt that the old woman was hiding something, and looking at her expression, it seemed as if she knew.

Back in the big courtyard of Ge Taihe's house, Qin Zhi was helping the male owner Ge Taihe dry fish, she walked over and politely called "Brother Ge", and asked Qin Zhi, "Did Yuxi wake up?" ”

Qin Zhi nodded, "Sister just woke up and is in the room." ”

Hao Wuxuan entered the room and saw Qin Yuxi sitting in front of the mirror in a daze. She slowly walked behind her, picked up a comb and combed her hair, and tied it in a very beautiful bun.

"Qin Zhi told me that as long as you get the Qinglong Xuandi Lamp, it can help you restore your appearance, and I will definitely get it!" Hao Wu said extravagantly, full of confidence in his tone.

"You're thinking too much, I'm just melancholy about how to get out of this desert." Qin Yuxi is as cold as ever, and now that the green silk has turned into snow, it is three points colder than before.

At dinner, Hao Wuxuan and Ge Taihe and his family were eating at the same table, and Ge Taihe mentioned the matter of helping them out of the desert, he said that there is still a month to die in the desert once a year, the wet season lasts for about half a month, compared to other times the rainfall is sufficient, and it is also the quietest and safest time in the desert. At that time, there will be a shallow river in the desert, and you can reach the cloud country by following the river.

This is a rare opportunity to get out of the desert, and if you miss it, you will have to wait another year.

The night was silent, and Hao Wuxuan sat motionless on the dirt slope in front of the house, her mind at this time was like a night sky covered by clouds, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

Without Chu Ye, she didn't know what the point of going to Yunguo was, and she would live her life with painful memories? She thought she would never be happy for the rest of her life.

When she left the desert a month later, it would be the day she separated from the Qin siblings, and she would return to the tomb of the Elder of the Clansman to accompany Chu Ye.

But before she can do that, she must complete what she agreed with the Clansman.

She sighed slightly, thinking that she wanted to find the grandson of the Patriarch of the Beetle Yi Clan, how could a month be enough. But what if this town is full of the Beetle Yi people, what if the grandson of the Beetle Tribes was not among them at all when they migrated ten years ago? What if he goes somewhere else?

Hao Wuxuan spent another night tossing and turning.

After breakfast the next morning, Hao Wuxuan went out with Qin Zhi, and since they had already decided that the people here were the people who survived the war, they would definitely have the opportunity to ask something.

The grandson of the Patriarch of the Beetles...... After so many years, even if you don't die, you should be very old.

"The name of the Clansman is Yaga, and his grandson should also be surnamed Ya. Let's split up and ask! Hao Wu said extravagantly, Qin Zhi nodded, and the two of them began to talk on the side of one of the busiest streets in the town.

It's just that an hour has passed, and all the streets have been asked, but no one has heard of an old man surnamed "Ya".

"It seems that the grandson of the Patriarch is really not in this town, since he is the grandson of the first patriarch, he should be the heir of the clan, did he really survive the war ten years ago?" Hao Wuxuan and Qin Zhi sat on the fish drying ground in the center of the town, extremely confused.

Suddenly, a wire loop rolled to his feet and fell to the ground for a few spins. A five-year-old boy ran over from the other side of the fish drying field, pointed at the iron ring that Hao Wuxuan was already holding in his hand with a thin iron rod with a curved hook in his hand, and said, "That's mine." ”
