Chapter 273: The Vast Gobi

"Ah, brother is windy!"

Chen Xiaoman's exclamation made me hurriedly put away the dried horse meat and find a leeward place to hide.

Then the howling wind mixed with the blowing sand like thousands of galloping horses whistling came in, an experience that we have experienced a lot these days, but this time the wind seems to be much stronger than the previous ones.

I was afraid that the strong wind would blow away their especially thin Chen Xiaoman, so I ran against the wind and sand that I couldn't open my eyes to untie the reins of the horse, tied them to their waists, and then connected them with me.

"Whirring ....."

We crawled on the ground with our heads in our hands, listening to the howling wind and the sand that hit me like rain.

I prayed in my heart, that the wind would be lighter, that there would be less of this, because we could not afford this merciless torture of nature.

But it's not an egg!

The wind continued until the afternoon, and the thick layer of sand almost buried our bodies, I got out of it, patted the sand on my body, and went first to find the food and the blood to make a kettle.

But to my great disappointment, I didn't find the kettles full of blood, and I thought they might have been buried by the sand, so I struggled to pull the sand in the hope of finding them.

"Don't look any further, I still have some food and water here, maybe enough to support us to get out of here."

Satsuki said as she uncovered the small baggage that had been carrying her, I had always thought it was Satsuki's private clothes, but I didn't expect it to be some apples and a gourd kettle that was not too big.

Chen Xiaoman's eyes were shining, "Brother, I'll just say that I smelled fruity fragrance all the way and told you that you still don't believe me." ”

I know that these things were prepared by Satsuki in advance, and maybe she had already anticipated what we were going to happen now, so these things were used to save her life when she was desperate.

"One for each person today, but we can't be so extravagant from the next meal."

Satsuki picked two of the biggest and reddest apples and gave them to us, and I chose a small one, which I took and sniffed at my nose, and the intoxicating fruity aroma was intoxicating.

I took a big bite, and the juicy fruit juice instantly hit my face, and it was so nice to be able to eat this kind of thing here, as if it gave people the feeling of being in a fairyland.

Of course, it was only a mouthful, so I wrapped the apple in a towel and put it in my pocket, and then we set out on the way back while it was dark and cold.

We're really lost!

As the apples and water continued to dwindle, the hospitable Gobi Desert still did not want to let us go, and I felt a little desperate in my heart at this time, but I did not show it.

Chen Xiaoman is different, she is still a child, the situation of lack of water and food for so many days has collapsed her, and this time she can no longer control herself from sobbing.

"Okay, I won't let you die here, will you trust my brother for a few more days?"

I don't remember the first time I said that, so much so that I don't believe it myself when I say it now, but I have to say it because it's the only chip I don't give up.

"What's the use! I'm thirsty and hungry right now, do you tell me these work? ”

Chen Xiaoman's questioning made me speechless, now we lack food and water and have to grope for a long distance every day, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for a few days if we continue like this, so I pinned my last hope on Xiaoyue.

Xiao Yue noticed that I was paying attention to her, shook her head slightly, and told me in the form of a voice transmission: "There is no reference in the vast Gobi Desert, if I leave you to look for food, even if I find it, it will be difficult to find you when I come back." ”

"But then we won't all die here." I can't speak, I can only speak.

"A thousand years of waiting is long enough, I won't leave you this time, even if it is death, let us die together."

Xiaoyue's attitude was very resolute, and Chen Xiaoman, who couldn't hear the conversation, thought that we were really staring at each other, so Chen Xiaoman pulled the corners of my clothes with a little dirty hand, and asked with some worry: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

I glanced at Chen Xiaoman and said, "It's okay, I'll take you out." Now I swear in the name of the Holy Monarch that none of us will die! ”

But no one answered, except for me, who continued to pretend to laugh, when I thought of something important and hurriedly rummaged through my pockets.

"What's wrong with you? What's missing? Satsuki asked worriedly.

I knew that Satsuki was worried about the sword, so I took out the sword and let her look at it, and said, "Don't worry, I won't lose this thing, but the manuscript written by Ziying seems to have lost me." ”

"Oh, brother, that thing was dumped in the desert by you and those extra luggage half a month ago." Chen Xiaoman explained.

"What? Why didn't you remind me? I reproached.

Chen Xiaoman was a little aggrieved, and muttered: "I thought you deliberately discarded it, who knew you would still want it?" ”

"Woo....."

At this moment, a wolf's howl frightened Chen Xiaoman and hurriedly hid behind me. My hair stood on end, and my eyes searched all around. It's just that there isn't even a single weed in the vast yellow sand, and I don't know why I heard the howl of the wolf.

"Brother, there!"

Chen Xiaoman was so frightened that even his hand in pointing me in the direction was trembling.

I looked in the direction she pointed me out, and saw a jackal squatting on the tip of the sand dune not far away, the color of the desert.

It's watching us, too, and seems to have locked us on its plate. But it underestimated us too much, so I drew my sword and confronted it, warning it that if it messed up, I would cut off its head.

The jackal did not act rashly, but still stared at us fiercely, not showing the slightest fear of the lone wolf.

The clock is ticking......

I suddenly realized that it might be waiting for help, so I hurriedly ordered Xiaoyue to take Chen Xiaoman first, but they didn't make any moves.

"Hurry! What are you still doing? I urged.

"Brother, I'..... We are already surrounded by jackals. Chen Xiaoman almost said with a crying voice.

It was then that I saw dozens of jackals that were almost integrated with the desert and outflanked them quickly and stealthily, they were well-trained, agile and the team worked together seamlessly.

From their emaciated bodies, I could tell that this was a pack of hungry wolves, and it was impossible to let us go, but we were already tired these days, and it seemed that it would not be so easy to deal with them.
