Chapter 274: Hope for Life
I held my breath and half-hunched over to prepare for the defense, waiting for the hungry wolves to pounce and deliver them a fatal blow. At this moment, something strange happened, and the hungry wolves that gradually surrounded them seemed to suddenly realize some danger and fled in all directions.
"Woo....."
A dull whistle whistled in, and before I could react to what was going on, the bean-sized raindrops smashed down on my head and face.
"It's a hurricane!"
As soon as Xiao Yue's words fell, I felt that I couldn't open my eyes because of the strong wind, and then I felt that as soon as my body was lighter, my whole body lost my balance, and rose to the sky with the strong swirling air current.
.........
Yang Xin, who was sitting in front of the compass and napping, saw this scene, and eagerly shook Yu Tong, who was sleeping on the side, and said, "Yu Tong, what should I do?" Brother Allure is in danger! ”
Yu Tong rubbed his sleepy eyes, saw the yellow sand sweeping the screen, and suddenly panicked, and there was nothing to do for a while, Yang Xin looked more and more anxious: "You should hurry up!" After waiting for a while, Brother Allure is afraid that there will be no bones left. ”
"I know, I know."
Yu Tong nodded again and again, and hesitated with a jade hand, and finally relentlessly and moved the compass hard. The compass that originally rotated at an even speed accelerated its rotation speed under the action of external forces, but the time in the compass with a slight flick was a span of decades or even hundreds of years.
Of course, I didn't know all this, and my mind was blank at the moment, except that we had encountered a strong wind, and I had no memory of how I had stopped.
I sat up and pressed my temples, trying to make my drowsy head clearer, and then I saw Xiaoyue and Chen Xiaoman lying two meters away from me without any posture at night.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law?"
I instantly felt cold and hurriedly crawled over, waking up Chen Xiaoman when I called Xiaoyue's name, she also sat up in a daze and asked, "Brother, where is this?" ”
"Desert, don't you know how to watch it?"
I didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Xiaoman's still chanting Xiaoyue's name, and I don't know if she just passed out like us, or if she suffered more intense harm to protect us.
Satsuki's face is dirty with us, her lips are a little chapped, her sleeping posture is extremely distorted, her thin waist seems to be folded and rotates 180 degrees, and one arm is also pressed under her body unreasonably, which makes people look very uncomfortable.
Because I wasn't sure what Xiaoyue's injuries were, in order to avoid secondary damage to her, I didn't dare to act rashly, but just urged Chen Xiaoman to bring the remaining kettle.
"Brother, our luggage is gone."
Chen Xiaoman's voice was slightly hoarse and desperate, but she was strong today and didn't cry like before.
It was then that I realized that the hurricane was not just a disaster, but a death, just like now, although we barely survive, we may not be able to last long without food and water.
I bit my finger with all my heart, and the blood that overflowed was like a hot spring, and then put my finger in front of Satsuki's nose, hoping that she would not hesitate to bite it when she smelled the fishy smell as before.
But no, this is undoubtedly a scene that pierces my heart, and I keep saying, "Eat, you eat?" Is this your favorite blood? ”
"Jingle ......"
The looming copper bell rang far and near, Chen Xiaoman heard it sincerely, and said happily: "Brother, it seems that someone is coming." ”
I also heard the voice, and hurriedly stood up and looked around to see where the camel team was coming, and in order not to miss this chance to survive, I climbed to a commanding height.
It was a royal procession with a Han flag, and in the middle was a gorgeously dressed woman, and I knew who I wanted to be, but the current situation did not allow me to make any more choices.
"Hey! Stop, wait for me! ”
I screamed as I scrambled and chased after me. If this kind of thing were normal, I think it would be a very funny thing, just like a thief has always been subject to running away from the police.
The pedestrian also saw me and stopped, and I was overjoyed, and now I only hope that my dirty face will not be recognized, otherwise it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
One of the leading pioneers, seeing that there were no ambushes, also came over on a slow camel and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
I deliberately pretended to be flattering, grinned exaggeratedly, and said, "Sir, I am a Hermes-epitek who strayed into the desert, and now I have been short of food and water for many days after I got lost, can you give me some water and food so that I can get through the difficult time safely?" ”
The pioneer officer squinted at me, tilted his mouth and said, "Hermes-Epitek? How did Hermes-Epitek come to such a place? I'm afraid you're not a spy sent by the Hu people, right? ”
"No, no, how could it be? If I were a Hu man, would I still be stuck here and couldn't find my way? It's clear that I'm not familiar with the road here to get trapped, right? I argued.
"Bold thief, rhetoric, watch me cut off your head with a sword." The vanguard officer seemed to be wary and didn't believe me easily, and drew his sword.
At this moment, not far away, a woman wearing a red brocade robe and a veil asked, "What happened?" ”
"Oh, a witty thief." The man replied.
As the saying goes, the temporary hugging of the Buddha's feet is the only one that picks up the face, so I raised some strength to bypass the pioneer officer and ran towards the woman, saying as I ran: "No! I am a Han people trapped here, and I can't live without food and water for many days, so I have the courage to come and ask for some food. ”
"Keep the princess safe and take him down for me."
The vanguard officer followed closely behind, and the guards drew their swords one after another when they received the order, and I was instantly arrested by them without resisting.
The vanguard officer searched my body for a moment, touched the Red Moon Sword, and tilted his nose with a hateful expression: "You still say no, you are wearing a short blade and obviously want to assassinate the princess and destroy the Hanhu marriage." Say! Who told you to do that? ”
"Give me back the dagger!"
I had forgotten the dagger I was carrying, and now I was undoubtedly annoyed to see someone take my most important thing.
"Brother, what's going on?"
Chen Xiaoman heard our quarrel and also came over to investigate the situation. I was afraid that they would also fall into the hands of the enemy, so I turned around and warned: "Don't come, take care of your sister-in-law." ”
When the vanguard officer saw that there were still people, he asked, "Say, how many people have you ambushed?" Let them all come out and die. ”
I couldn't help but feel contempt for the general in front of me, and asked, "Have you ever seen someone who came with a family to carry out an assassination operation?" There are only three of us, one is my sister and the other is my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law is not in a good situation now, please give me some water! ”
