However, the lips only opened shallowly, and the morning light stopped.

She shook her head, it was not yet the full moon, and the sense of longing was not so strong, but it was precisely because it was not yet the night of the full moon that his taste could take advantage of the void to fascinate her, which was enough to show that his temptation to her was terrible.

She sat up straight.

Shen Run's scent was the favorite of the scents she had smelled so far, and it was even very easy for her to lose her reason when her body was weak, his effect on soothing her would be more effective than anyone else's, and Chenguang could have made good use of him.

However, Chenguang didn't want him to know her details, she didn't want him to think that she was a monster, she would rather let him think that she was a sick man who leaked rags everywhere, and she didn't want him to know her secrets.

He was a normal person, and he would be disgusted when he knew that she had to live that way, and she didn't want to be hated by him.

If he looked at her with disgusting eyes, Chenguang thought, she would probably be depressed.

……

Shen Run woke up, and she woke him up as she moved around on the bed.

He opened his eyes and saw her sitting upright on the bed in a daze, startled and frowned. He had just woken up, and his voice was hoarse, but it was nice.

"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting up.

Chenguang opened his mouth, but before he could speak, his stomach gurgled first.

"I just woke you up to eat, but I couldn't wake you up." He said, calling outside, "Someone! ”

A little maid walked in.

"Pass the meal." Shen Run commanded.

The little maid answered and went out.

Because I didn't eat dinner in the morning, the kitchen was waiting, and I immediately got busy after listening to the order.

Huo Wu, who was guarding the door, knew that the morning light had woken up, and came in to serve.

Chenguang rinsed his mouth and sat down at the table to drink porridge.

Shen Run woke up and couldn't sleep anymore, put on his robe, and sat under the window without knowing what he was writing.

Chenguang didn't want to eat half a bowl of porridge, so he asked people to withdraw, hold their cheeks with both hands, and look at the candles on the table.

She didn't care if she ate less, it was easy to accumulate food if she ate too much so late, but she was awake but so quiet that he was not used to it, he looked up at her twice, and asked:

"What are you thinking?"

Chenguang came back to his senses and replied casually, "I'm thinking about what Flame City looks like." ”

Shen Run felt that her expression just now was definitely not thinking about the appearance of Flame City, but he didn't ask.

Depart the next day.

Only Fu Li, Xue Ling and Qin Shuo followed Shen Run to move forward, and Chenguang only brought Si Qian and Huo Wu.

Taking too many people on the road to attract attention will inevitably arouse many suspicions.

Out of Qixia Pass, over the Hezhi Mountain, is the endless Gobi, dry heat blowing in the face.

Shen Run has always been worried about whether Chenguang can take this trip to the desert, but Chenguang walks quite fast, and she is not as lazy as before, it seems that she is serious about this trip, and he is sure once again that her body is indeed improving, and he is a little happy in his heart.

Instead of desert horses, they used slower but drought-tolerant camels as a means of transportation.

Growing up in the desert, she would ride a camel, wrapped tightly in her white robe to block the blazing sun, and the group marched westward.

Shen Run had only been in the desert when he went to greet his relatives, he was very unaccustomed to the environment and climate here, this season was the season of sand and dust, he saw sand dunes that would move with the wind, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was very large.

Chenguang and the others are probably familiar with the desert because of the environment in which they grew up.

Chenguang has been riding a camel to lead the way, she is very confident, she does not hesitate when she advances, does not turn, all the way to the west, straight ahead.

For three days, they spent their nights under the desert dunes.

The desert nights are cold, so cold that if you are not careful, you will freeze to death.

Shen Run, dressed in a thick mink fur, sat in front of the fire, looking at the starry sky.

At night in the desert, the sky looks much lower than it did in Middle-earth, as if you could reach out and pluck the stars.

The high sand dunes cast dark shadows on the ground of the sand valley in the starlight, and the breath of the sand was cold and cold, inch by inch, freezing the five senses, such a feeling made Shen Run faintly feel familiar.

He thought of that night again, the starry sky, the cold moon, the sand valley, the wolves, the girl in red, the blood, the pain......

"Are you cold?" Chenguang walked back from a distance, sat down beside him, and asked.

"Are you cold?" Shen Run didn't answer, and asked rhetorically.

Morninglight shook her head.

Shen Run stretched out his hand to touch her hand, wanting to touch the temperature of her palm.

He felt that Chenguang's skin was slightly stiff, and there was a slight struggle, he was stunned for a moment, but she immediately stopped struggling, he didn't care, and touched her hand, fortunately it wasn't cold, he was relieved.

Chenguang put his hands behind his back and took them out after a while.

"Is there a sand wolf?" Shen Run suddenly opened his mouth and asked her.

"There isn't one around here, and there may be one further in." Chenguang said.

"Really?" Shen Run said lightly, he was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"But ......," said Chenguang, her hand suddenly reaching behind him, and when she withdrew it, she held a finger-thick flower snake that was twisting and wriggling, "There are many snakes. She replied, throwing the flower snake in her hand into the fire.

Xue Ling and the others on the side saw it with their own eyes and were dumbfounded, they thought that His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord was soft and weak, and he couldn't do such a thing as catching snakes with his own hands.

Shen Run looked straight at Chenguang, he didn't know what to say.

Could it be that when she returns to the desert, the soul of the desert daughter is recalled?

On the evening of the fourth day, the group finally arrived at the first oasis in the itinerary.

Surrounded by the earthy yellow Gobi, a clear river with a lot of grass growing on the bank of the river, and a few cattle and sheep are grazing.

Far away, I saw a wine banner waving in the wind, a two-story small building made of stones, very dilapidated, built on the edge of the river, a deserted village and a wild shop, and the mottled plaque can barely see that it is written on the words "Flying Dragon Inn".

There is an inn in this kind of place!

Everyone was amazed.

"This inn is supposed to be dedicated to people who have been exiled or escaped from the gates." Chenguang said, "Really good at business!" ”

"Didn't you introduce people to the inn in Flame City?" Shen Run said softly.

Chenguang was stunned.

Although he is a king who has been raised in the deep palace since he was a child, and he talks about the sufferings of the people, but he does not necessarily understand the various conditions of the people, he is quite sensitive and very intelligent.

Chenguang stared at him for a moment, and laughed.

Shen Run felt that she was laughing inexplicably.

There is a stove burning at the gate of the Flying Dragon Inn, and there is a steamer sitting on the stove, and the thick heat comes out, which is the fragrance of steamed buns.

"Could it be a human meat bun?" Chenguang suddenly muttered.

Shen Run was stunned for a moment, imagined it in his mind, felt nauseous, didn't want to think about it anymore, took a step, and walked to the door of the inn.

At this moment, a woman about thirty years old with a jingchai cloth skirt but extremely charming came out of the inn with a twisted water snake waist, holding a bamboo drawer with raw buns in her hand, and saw a group of people standing outside the door, first stunned, and then smiled, greeting warmly like the proprietress of an ordinary inn:

"A few guest officers are working the road, do you want to be sharp or stay in the hotel?"
