"Wow, it's finally landed, it's going to suffocate me to death!"

The three Gu Gongzi who were looking at the railing from a distance danced excitedly on the board, and the nine-foot man walked out of the cabin with a drunken face.

The nine-foot man railing looked at the blurred land from afar, and said with emotion: "Hehe, it's finally here!" This piece of land has been lost for a long time! This will be the third time I have set foot on this land. ”

Gu Gongzi asked the nine-foot man: "Uncle Nine-foot, after seeing this desperately wide sea, that sea of sand, when will you be able to see it?" ”

The nine-foot man looked at Gu Gongzi and the three of them with a playful face: "Don't worry, as long as you hurry up for three days, you can reach the edge of the sand sea." However, don't say that the old man didn't remind you that passing through that sea of sand is not something that ordinary people can endure! If you feel disappointed when you can't take it anymore, don't complain to me! ”

Gu Gongzi said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of, isn't it just a sea of sand!" Could it be that it will swallow us up like a tide of rage? ”

The nine-foot man laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I hope so!" ”

The closer you get to the shore, the more ships come and go. The luxury merchant ship docked, and the owner of the horse, which was originally scattered on the wharf, hurriedly drove the car to the wharf to wait, and yelled at the four of them.

Gu Gongzi frowned and said, "They don't speak our language?" That's a bit of a hassle! ”

The nine-foot man smiled: "Don't worry, although many people don't know how to say it, but some people will say that as long as there is silver, everything is easy to say!" ”

"Where's the silver ticket?"

The nine-foot man was surprised and said, "The silver tickets we have over there are not common here!" You won't come here without money! ”

"This ......"

Gu Gongzi suddenly said with a strange face: "Even if you don't bring enough, there is no big problem!" ”

The mountain boy was so happy that he covered his mouth and chuckled, the nine-foot man shook his head and laughed, only Lu Gongzi looked dazed, and asked strangely: "Then you have gold leaves or something?" ”

Gu Gongzi smiled and shook his head, and Lu Gongzi said again: "Pearls, beautiful jade, precious stones? ”

Gu Gongzi still shook his head, and the mountain boy whispered a few words in Lu Gongzi's ear, Lu Gongzi looked at Gu Gongzi in disbelief and said, "You still have this!" I can't see it! ”

The nine-foot man smiled and said, "Actually, you can also ask the owner of this boat to exchange for a silver ticket, but this boat is over there." ”

Gu Gongzi and the others immediately went in to find the shipowner to exchange some silver, but the amount was not much, only less than a hundred taels of silver! And among the hundred taels of silver were two gold leaves.

Just in case, Gu Gongzi divided the silver taels equally among everyone, and the two small gold leaves were given to the mountain prince and the road boy.

The nine-foot man didn't want it, shook the big gem ring in his hand and said, "My one is much more than your silver taels!" ”

Gu Gongzi teased: "It turns out that Uncle Nine Feet has also become a roadblock strongman who robbed the house!" ”

Jiuchi laughed and said, "Then you are my minions, an accomplice!" ”

When the boat arrived at the shore, several car owners immediately surrounded him, and the nine-foot man said, "Just come to this town!" ”

The owner of the car who understood this language immediately raised five fingers, and the nine-foot uncle unceremoniously raised a finger and smiled: "Just one or two!" ”

The man who accosted him said in a stiff tone, word by word: "This...... Look, this uncle is also an acquaintance, okay, one or two will be one or two, give the silver first! ”

Gu Gongzi smiled and handed over a piece of broken silver and squeezed in with the three of them.

Watching their companions drive away, other car owners kept looking towards the hatch of the ship, and some went directly to the boat to find it. The shipowner ordered the sailors to stop them, and after a bumble at them, the owner returned to the carriage dejectedly, and slowly drove the carriage back, emptying the dock.

Who would have thought that such a large luxury merchant ship would only carry four guests this time!

After driving to the town and finding a hotel to settle down, the nine-foot man took Gu Gongzi to a remote horse farm to buy four horses. Along the way, Gu Gongzi and the others met some local townspeople in strange costumes, and only a few merchants in other costumes.

After resting in this town for a whole day, the nine-foot man galloped away with them early the next morning.

At the beginning, Mr. Lu played horses and walked with them, and he felt very excited. I continued to run for a long time, and suddenly complained that my buttocks were uncomfortable, and asked Gu Gongzi to take a carriage instead.

Gu Gongzi looked at Lu Gongzi with a bitter face helplessly, and his small head shook non-stop.

The nine-foot man also said: "Take the carriage, wouldn't it be even more suffocating!" Not to mention the slow speed, it is even less energetic in the carriage! ”

Lu Gongzi said aggrievedly: "But I feel that this ass is also blistered, I don't want to become unable to sit at that time!" Can't you let me get used to it? It's like climbing a mountain, now I feel much better, and I don't blister at every turn like I used to. ”

The nine-foot man laughed and said, "Blisters on the buttocks? The old man has never heard of it, and it is still possible to wear out the skin. ”

rushed to a small city, Gu Gongzi reluctantly rented another carriage, but the horse was still tied to the carriage and slowly slipped away.

With a carriage to follow, Gu Gongzi and they felt uncomfortable no matter how they ran on the horse, and they had to stop after running for a while, although the carriage was not slow.

Running and jogging all the way, the journey that the nine-foot man said would only take three days to arrive took more than four and a half days, plus rest preparations, it was a full five days, two more days than expected.

And since there was a carriage, for the rest of the journey, Lu Gongzi did not ride a horse again. Even so, he still kept complaining that the carriage ride was also a bit bumpy and uncomfortable. But fortunately, he didn't go to ask Gu Gongzi to stop and rest, otherwise he would have been delayed for a few days.

On the sixth day after arriving on this land, Gu Gongzi and the others prepared a large number of things ordered by the nine-foot uncle and prepared to go on the road. The nine-foot man looked at Lu Gongzi's tired appearance, his little face became a little pale, he frowned and shook his head, sighed and said: "Lu Gongzi, you still don't want to go to this desert, it's very dangerous there, I'm afraid that you have the life to go in and not to come out!" ”

Lu Gongzi said unconvinced: "How can I be as fragile as you think!" Why can my younger brother go there, but I can't? I don't believe it, I must go! ”

Shan Gongzi persuaded: "He is different from you, he has traveled much more than you in the past few months, not to mention the suffering." Brother Lu, look at your face has become pale and terrifying, even worse than when I came out, don't take this risk! Or do I stay here with you? ”

The nine-foot man shook his head and said, "We won't return from the same place this time." ”

Gu Gongzi said helplessly: "Then let's rest and recuperate in this town, and wait for Brother Lu to recover before going on the road." To be safe, be sure to get back to your best. ”

The nine-foot man looked at the weak Lu Gongzi, shook his head again, and muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid that when he rests, it won't work either!" ”

Since he wanted to rest and recuperate, Uncle Nine Feet simply took Gu Gongzi and them to a remote manor outside the city to temporarily recuperate for a few days.

The manor has no walls, only a simple wooden stake fence to prevent livestock and poultry from entering by mistake. The trees and flowers around the manor are still the same as those on the two islands I have visited before.

There are only three or four tiled houses in the whole manor, which are scattered next to each other, forming a half-moon arc.

Gu Gongzi looked at them inside and out, and said with a smile: "It's not good, it's like the manor in our hometown." However, there are still some differences between the manors here and ours: the houses in my hometown are all one after another, neatly stacked there, looking rigorous and dull; The houses here are scattered at random, in an arc shape that is connected together, and it seems to be scattered and relaxed. If I had to choose, I would probably choose this kind of manor that looks relaxed and comfortable. ”

Lu Gongzi smiled: "I don't think so, you are just trying to be a novelty, you have lived for a long time, and you will feel more comfortable and comfortable in the layout of your hometown." ”

Shan Gongzi took the opportunity to tease: "This is talking about yourself!" What, regret it now? ”

Lu Gongzi shook his head awkwardly and said, "How come!" Although I feel very uncomfortable, tired, and in pain, I feel like I will never be able to sleep well, but I have seen many landscapes that I have never seen before, experienced such an exciting escape game, and experienced a feeling that I have never felt before: fantasy is always better than reality, and after suffering, Fang Jue is sweet! I'm sure that with some time, I'll be able to adapt to your endless journeys and have a better time together! ”

Over there, the nine-foot man had already paid the negotiated rent to a thin old man. For the sake of Lu Gongzi's recuperation, Gu Gongzi simply wrapped it for ten days.

On the carriage shelves outside the manor, all the goods that were originally piled up have been moved into the house, greeted Gu Gongzi and them, and drove back to the city. By the way, the thin owner of the manor was also carried.

The four horses that were originally ridden had already been sold in the city, and they were useless in the desert sand sea.

There was no pursuit, no noisy street disturbance, except for the nine-foot man who was still full of food and drink every day, and the three sons who had quieted down began to practice martial arts and enhance their skills.

Gu Gongzi how long they practiced, even if Lu Gongzi's whole body was soaked with sweat and his body was trembling uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and insisted on practicing with them.

Gu Gongzi smiled and looked at this stubborn face, but his pride was more than him, and he did not persuade him to rest, but kept cheering for him.

Occasionally, the nine-foot man was interested, and he would prescribe them a few bitter and unusually unpalatable decoctions.

Looking at the momentum of Gu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi frowning and drinking it all in one go, Lu Gongzi, who had just been crying bitterly, picked up the porcelain bowl again, frowned tightly, strengthened his spirit, and slowly sipped it down one by one.

During the rest of the meal, Gu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi would also cook one or two dishes, and the nine-foot man also showed his hands once or twice, although the taste was not very good, they felt sweeter when they ate it.

After practicing every day and taking a bath, even in this sultry weather, before the hair was dry, the breathing sound of the three of them sounded on the same bed.

On the flat bed, there are two more rising peaks than before, which belong to the son of the mountain, that is, Xue Yue'er.

In this remote place in a foreign land, there is a peerless master of the nine-foot Han Rock Lion to protect him, and Xue Yue'er, who pretends to be a mountain boy, reappears back to her original form, but she still has a mask on her face, just in case.

In recent years, she has become more slender and beautiful, and her body is more light and flexible. However, Li Hao, who pretended to be an ancient son, did not notice anything abnormal. In terms of appearance, she can't compare to the fourth princess, in terms of twin peaks and figure, she can't compare to the ice beauty Cui Han, and more importantly, Li Hao didn't think about it.

The rock lions, who saw this scene in their eyes, couldn't help but smile and shake their heads, sipping a small glass of wine, and continued to watch their hard training.

Good days are fleeting, beautiful scenery is hard to stay, in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed, and they are about to start their journey to the desert sand sea.

"If you're like this, you still can't pass through the sea of sand, listen to the old man, let's go back and practice for a year or two before coming out!"

Although they have been practicing very hard in the past ten days, Yan Shi is still not optimistic about the sixth princess who dresses up as a man, this delicate girl who is known as a prodigy but has only practiced the basic skills of martial arts.

Lu Gongzi pouted and said: "Brother Gu has only practiced martial arts for less than half a year, why can he go, but I have to practice hard for a year or two!" Uncle Nine Feet, you don't mean to underestimate me and intend to drive me back, right? ”

"Don't hide it from you, the old man really wants to drive you back, because even if you practice for another ten days and half a month, the old man thinks that you still won't be able to cross the sea of sand! Don't compare yourself with your ancient brother, he has tasted the bitterness of the water since he was a child, even if he doesn't practice martial arts, I believe he has enough perseverance to pass through the sea of sand! Your mountain brother has practiced martial arts for nearly ten years, and although he has not suffered much, his internal strength is much stronger than yours! ”

Lu Gongzi gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of hardship do I can't bear?" I believe that as long as you can pass, I will be able to do it too! What's more, my physique is stronger than that of Gu Di, so I don't believe that I will lose to him! I'm going to have to hit the road this time! ”

The rock lion nodded and said, "Okay, let's prepare more camels and bring more water and dry food!" Others are one person and one camel, let's have one person and three camels! ”

Lu Gongzi clenched his fists angrily and said, "Bad Uncle Nine Feet, you look down on me!" ”

Yan Shi said: "I really didn't underestimate you, most of the eight extra camels were prepared for you, so as not to have any accidents and throw your little life in it, I can't explain it to your father." Plus, I had to change my mind and find another guide! ”

Speaking of this, the rock lion remembered the embarrassment of getting lost in the desert before, and his face with a dark beard couldn't help but blush a little, but he couldn't see it clearly.

Lu Gongzi said angrily: "Look down, look down!" As long as you can pass through the sand sea with Gu Di and them! ”

The rock lion said unmoved: "I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck!" ”

Lu Gongzi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, opened his teeth and danced his claws, and his little feet kept stomping on the ground, wanting to go crazy. If one bite can bite out a tooth mark of the rock lion, I'm afraid that he would have pounced on it a long time ago, and he won't stop without biting a dozen bites!

Happy Gu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi laughed, bent over and laughed, the flowers and branches trembled, and they laughed a little uncomfortable!

When he came to the small sandy city, the rock lion really found a slender and lean guide dressed like the Hu merchant, dressed in gray, and a camel full of water and dry food. This time, the number has changed from 12 to 13!

Looking at the camel with a sharp mouth and a thick nose and a swollen hair in front of them, Gu Gongzi and they circled around with great interest.

Sitting on the high camel twin peaks and stepping slowly on the fine sand, Lu Gongzi complained: "It walks so slowly, it has to cross the wide sea of sand, I don't know when it will take, no wonder you have to prepare so much water and dry food!" It turned out to be for you, the big-bellied man, hee-hee......"
