Chapter 15: Walking in the Sand

After crossing the border of Shuo, Wu Jinghong finally saw the desert in the true sense of this world.

There are a lot of sand bunkers in the sun, the desert is golden in the sun, but the sand pits in the shadows are cold and dull, and they seem to be hiding murderous intentions.

"The Eighteen Imperial Dynasties entered the war map, and the people were happy to be happy.

Relying on the king's words to seal the marquis, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither.

It is rumored that the gods were angry in the first war, and the two armies were strong.

There is always nothing to do in the Dao Yuan, and there has been a long blood struggle recently. ”

Wu Jinghong raised his eyes and glanced at Jiuzun, full of surprise, "You can still compose poems?" ”

Jiuzun responded to her with a beautiful white eye, and her phoenix eyes blinked lightly, "How many people can I have, it's not bad for this talent." ”

"I see." Wu Jinghong couldn't help laughing, and when his eyes turned to the desert, he also became heavy, "It is indeed a success, and I don't know how many heroic souls of soldiers are buried in this desert!" ”

"In the past three years, there has been enough desert to swallow them up." Jiuzun stomped his feet, and wiped the soles of his feet in the sand, "You don't have to worry about sand scorpions, snakes, insects, and storms, as long as you don't encounter those ghost weather, you can be safe." ”

"You say, is the bad climate here caused by those dead soldiers?" Wu Jinghong suddenly joked, "They have lost everything in the long years of war, and they will turn into ghosts and rob everything they walk in this desert." ”

Jiuzun laughed when he heard this, "In this way, you can also live desperately without struggling, anyway, you can get everything by turning into a powerful ghost!" ”

"How can I do that, I'm an old woman who has no power to restrain a chicken, and even if she turns into a ghost, she can't be powerful."

Wu Jinghong looked at the sky deeply and muttered, "Everything I want can only be obtained by living." ”

Si Luo's injuries had eased a lot, so he didn't dare to bother Jiuzun to drive anymore, so he consciously sat on the front of the car and pulled the reins without saying a word.

"Let's go, if the journey is smooth, it will be three or five days to reach the rain country." Jiuzun lay down in the car with one hand behind his head and the other in front of him, looking ready to fall asleep.

Wu Jinghong lifted the curtain and glanced at it, signaling Si Luo to drive the carriage carefully, and then took out an old book from his baggage, leaned against the window and flipped through it.

The sound of "bang, bang, bang" accompanied them all the way, and none of the three of them made a sound.

In this silent atmosphere, the passage of time seems to slow down a lot. Sloh was cautious all the way, carefully following the ruts in the road. As the sun grew, he put on the wide-brimmed hat and cloak he had prepared for the morning, and poured a few mouthfuls of water.

The two people in the carriage were not very comfortable, although the carriage blocked the fiery light, but it could not isolate the temperature that steamed from the ground. Jiuzun lay in the car, curled up, tossed and turned for a while, and finally couldn't help but sit up.

"Here, have a drink." Wu Jinghong handed over the kettle, his eyes were gentle, "The heart is calm and naturally cool, don't worry, in just a few days, we are also very well prepared." ”

Jiuzun raised his head and poured most of the pot in one go, they were indeed well prepared, and the water was enough to do so, but he couldn't calm down in his heart, I don't know if it was affected by the weather here.

Wu Jinghong put away the book and rubbed his eyes.

Another long time passed, but the sun still hung high overhead, and it seemed that it had not changed from just now.

Both of Silo's kettles were empty, but the corners of his lips were still dry and white, and he pursed his lips and blinked vigorously to remove the beads of sweat from his eyelashes.

"Silo, are you alright?" Wu Jinghong was a little worried about Si Luo's arm, the wound had not healed because of the toxin, and now it must have stabbed in sweat.

"I'm fine." Siloh whispered in response, tearing a crack out of his lips.

This day is really strange, according to the time estimate, now they have been driving for seven or eight hours since the morning, why is the sun still so high?

"Or, find a place to rest, the horses' hydration bags are empty."

The thin old horse looked even more old in such an environment, but he still worked hard and silently pulled the cart, only turning his head and taking a few sips in the water bag when he was very thirsty.

Jiuzun glanced out, and said impatiently, "Can't stop, the hours in this place are weird, hurry as soon as possible, and you will be fine if you arrive early." ”

Wu Jinghong glanced at Jiuzun, nodded helplessly to Si Luo, and handed him a pot of water.

It's just that Jiuzun's heart is becoming more and more unbearable, he can't lie down, he can't sit still, and his eyes are even a little red.

"You drink more water." Wu Jinghong seemed to understand something, combined with Jiuzun's strange performance in the Golden and Silver City City Lord's Mansion, she could almost conclude that Jiuzun was suffering from hidden anxiety and rage.

The so-called anxiety-manic mania is said to be a symptom of neurasthenia caused by suppressed desires, and it is easy to cause anxiety if there is no venting in long-term stress. In a certain environment, under the influence of certain things, it will be impossible to suppress the impatience in the heart, and it will be expressed through violent methods.

Therefore, everyone needs to have a channel to release their emotions, otherwise they will be driven crazy.

Seeing that Jiuzun drank a pot of water again, Wu Jinghong couldn't help frowning, Jiuzun himself must be trying his best to suppress his impulses, but if this continues, it won't solve the problem at all, and it will take at least two days for them to arrive.

It's just that it is impossible for her to cure Jiuzun's problem now, she stroked her chest and suddenly thought of something.

"Maybe that's the only way." She took out a jade pendant from her arms, and felt cool in the palm of her hand, this is the cold jade that Jiuzun gave her three years ago.

"Huh?" Jiuzun seemed to be aware of it, and looked over, "This, I almost forgot about it." ”

"Maybe it's because it's too hot, if you pick it up, it will be much better." Wu Jinghong stuffed the jade pendant into Jiuzun's arms, and Jiuzun immediately grabbed it with one hand and stopped her, "Do you think this king is afraid of heat?" ”

Wu was stunned, why did he suddenly call himself "this king"? How could he have spoken such a thing before himself?

"Huh? Why don't you speak? Do you think this king can't get through it? Jiuzun's hand was squeezed very tightly, and Wu Jinghong's wrist was even more wrinkled.

"What did the prince say, the prince is not afraid of swords, mountains and fires, how can he be afraid of this scorching sun?" Wu Jinghong also changed his tone indifferently, playing the role of Cheng Jiuzun's little maid, feeling that the strength of his wrist was loosened a little, so he gently pumped his hand, but his wrist suddenly hurt.

"Knife mountain and sea of fire? Ha, hahaha! When has this king been afraid! Jiuzun suddenly let go, pinched Wu Jinghong's wrist and dragged her in front of him.

There was a muffled sound, and Wu Jinghong fell to the ground on her knees, almost kneeling in front of Jiuzun, and then her hand was loosened, and the jade pendant fell lightly on Jiuzun.

Xu is Hanyu played a role, Jiuzun calmed down a little, let go of Wu Jinghong's wrist, and pinched Hanyu in the palm of his hand. The red eyes slowly covered up, and the tremors slowly dissipated.

"Are you alright?" Si Luo asked softly outside the curtain, and he was probably also taken aback by Jiuzun's sudden change, and he didn't dare to answer the curtain rashly.

"It's okay, you concentrate on driving."

Si Luo turned around, and the apprehension in his heart dissipated in Wu Jinghong's gentle response. Pursing his chapped lips, he reached out and touched the kettle around his waist.

It was in this atmosphere that they finally ushered in the first night in the desert.

"Luckily, let's rest here for the night." Wu Jinghong placed two piles of firewood near the trunk of the tree, clapped his hands and said, "It seems that there is a water source nearby, and this place should be a place for some people to settle between the Great Plains and the tribe, and they will definitely rest according to the water source." ”

"I'll look around."

Silo couldn't wait to walk away with a few water bottles and water bags, and took the old horse by the hand, saying that it was for the horse to drink a full meal.

Jiuzun was still leaning in the carriage, and Wu Jinghong frowned - Jiuzun shouldn't be so weak, even if the influence of the weather and environment made him restless in his heart, it wouldn't make him irritable so simply.

"Could it be that the restlessness in the City Lord's Mansion has not been completely suppressed?" Wu Jinghong was a little confused, looked at the carriage, and reached out to touch the silver needle bag in his arms.

Although he has studied the Holy Doctor Mountain for three years, he still hasn't learned the true skills of the Holy Doctor Father-just like the third senior brother Hua Zhinian, you can roughly see where this person's faults are just by looking at them.

But this Jiuzun's problem, she can roughly guess, isn't it a psychological problem?

Is acupuncture useful for this psychological problem?

The more he thought about it, the more he didn't notice when Jiuzun got out of the carriage and walked behind him.

It was silent, everything seemed normal, and the weather couldn't have been better. Jiuzun looked left and right, and then walked towards Wu Jinghong.

"Heart disease also needs heart medicine...... You have to look at the root cause, don't ......"

"Huh?" Jiuzun's ears trembled, what was this little princess talking about? Secret trouble?

Maybe it was because she was in such a strange and dangerous environment, a little sound could wake up Wu Jinghong, she quickly came back to her senses, and when she looked sideways, the firelight seemed to be beating on Jiuzun's face, reflecting the bright phoenix eyes that were very eye-catching.

"Jiuzun, what do you look like in the Shuoguo Palace?"

Jiuzun blinked, as if he didn't understand why Wu Jinghong had such a question.

"Just curious."

"What does this teach me to say? I want to know, wouldn't it be nice to go with me? Jiuzun sat down on the ground casually, raising up a piece of sand.

"Of course I want to go, and I also want to see the Emperor of Shuo who can handle you in place." Wu Jinghong smiled faintly, took out the dry food from his side and handed it to Jiuzun, "I don't know anything about here, you see, is the weather good or bad?" ”

"It's not going to be good."

Wu nodded clearly, it seems that the environment here is a little worse than he imagined.

She quietly reached into her arms and pressed her heart, without the suppression of Hanyu, her body had undergone some changes in the past few hours, which made her worried.

She didn't want to see hope fall, and now that she's done it, she must get the cure!

"Listen!"

Jiuzun suddenly snorted softly, Wu Jinghong's heart tightened, and he followed Jiuzun's gaze and ear.
