Chapter 16: A Thought of Life and Death

"Bang Bang Bang"

The sound was heavy and light, and it slowly approached little by little, from far to near.

"Is there something coming?" Seeing Jiuzun get up, Wu Jinghong also got up, gritting his teeth and supporting his waist.

"No, it's Sandmarsh." Jiuzun looked into the distance and looked around, "I'm not sure where I'm coming from, it's best not to move." ”

Sandmarshes? Wu Jinghong listened with bated breath again, and finally heard something meaningful. The thud was the sound of clumps of sand suddenly falling and smashing into the ground.

"Luckily, the sand swamp won't eat you, it will only bury you in half, and leave the rest exposed, ...... after a night"

Jiuzun left a hook of his lips, leaving a lingering voice of his own experience.

Hearing so sinister, Wu Jinghong really waited for a long time, but as soon as the voice approached them, it suddenly became far away.

"Si Luo doesn't know which direction he is in, and this is the first time he has come here, so I'm afraid I don't know how to deal with it."

"Panicking and escaping is the only way to die." Jiuzun sat down casually again.

Wu Jinghong covered his heart, a look of pain appeared on his face, the wrinkles on his forehead were trembling, but his voice was still calm, "You are not worried about him, you should also think about our water, right?" ”

"I've been on so many roads during the day, I'm probably very close to the rain country, and I'll be there in a dozen or twenty hours, what's there to worry about."

Wu Jinghong shook her head with a wry smile, unwilling to let Jiuzun see her poisonous hair, so she had to drag her heavy body and climb into the carriage, which was just enough for her to stretch and lie down.

"Uh......" Her soft teeth seemed to be loosened by her bite, but she still couldn't withstand the pain from her internal organs. She took out the silver needle bag with trembling hands, and she didn't care about it, but she just wanted to relieve the pain.

Outside the carriage, Jiuzun leaned lightly against the wall of the car, the thin wall separated the two, one lay in the car and endured pain, and the other stood outside the car with a gloomy look.

"If that kid can't come back and there is no water, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach the rain country."

When the pain was so painful that he was almost fainting, Jiuzun's cold voice came from his ears, and Wu Jinghong opened his eyes with great difficulty, and continued to prick needles into the acupuncture points on his body.

"You can't stand it now, why don't I be a good person to the end and help you last time."

Jiuzun took his big knife from the wheel, and when he twisted his wrist, the scabbard "clicked" open.

He held the handle of the knife and raised the big knife through the curtain, his phoenix eyes were full of coldness, "What do you think?" ”

“…… I didn't expect that the cold-blooded and brutal Shura King, who was rumored to be cold-blooded and cruel by the world, would be so soft-hearted......" The voice of the old man came out, but it was a state of more breath and less breath, "If you really want me to die, why do you want to save me on the Holy Doctor Mountain Road?" ”

Jiuzun raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashing.

At that time, he was just trying to get rid of the pursuit of the imperial brother.

"Didn't you say that the Shura King on the battlefield disdains to do anything to the opponent's powerless people?" Wu Jinghong's voice continued to sound, "I won't tell you, if I still have some strength, I will definitely resist you to the end." ”

Jiuzun blinked, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's really rare for an undead guy like you to be like you, you obviously know that you can't live." ”

"Hmm!"

There was a cry of pain in the car, and Jiuzun's hand tightened, and he was almost about to open the curtain.

After a long time, Jiuzun only felt that the cold sweat on his forehead was about to drip down, and the curtain of the car trembled, and someone suddenly lifted it from the inside. Wu Jinghong walked out indifferently, looking much better.

It's a bit of a real skill. Jiuzun is playful in his heart, but he doesn't know how far he can go!

In the firelight, Wu Jinghong's face was pale and terrifying, but his eyes were shining, calmly bypassing the tip of Jiuzun's knife.

"Your knife is indeed vigorous, but it's better to put it away, the people of the Rain Country won't welcome a person who swords against them, right?"

"Huh!" Jiuzun chuckled twice, blinked and put the knife into the sheath, and said heartily, "What are you afraid of!" The master is prepared! ”

Wu Jinghong shook his head with a smile, it seemed that his mood had changed again, and he still called himself a master, he really didn't know how nervous.

This night, the two sat opposite each other, Wu Jinghong sat on the side of the carriage with a weak body, and Si Luo, who was worried about getting water for them, fell asleep leisurely.

Jiuzun sat silently all night.

"Boom"

With a soft sound, Wu Jinghong slowly opened his eyelids and gently moved his waist. I slept so well that I woke up and heard the soft sound of bones, which was really not a good sign.

She looked around, it was not yet dawn, but the sound of the wind and sand was very loud, and the carriage blocked the wind and sand for her, but the thin blanket on her body was covered with a thick layer of sand.

"Sloe?" As soon as she stood up, she saw the thin old horse, lying weakly in front of the carriage, she was overjoyed, and quickened her pace to look around, "Siluo? Jiuzun, but Si Luo is back? ”

After turning around two or three times, she didn't find Si Luo's figure, and even Jiuzun, who was still sitting in front of her last night, was gone.

Wu Jinghong calmed down a little, walked to the old horse and took a closer look, the water bag on the horse's back was bulging, the opening was slightly open, she reached out and picked it up, and suddenly felt that something was wrong - it was full of dust!

What does that mean? Wu Jinghong thought that this was the message that Si Luo left her, and frowned and pondered for a while. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the old horse's hind legs trembling slightly, so he walked over and took a look.

"Shhh Wu Jinghong couldn't help but gasp, the old horse's hind legs were covered with dust, and blood seeped out of the dust.

Did you fall into the sand marsh? Wu Jinghong's face became nervous, and the old horse only had injuries on his hind legs, perhaps because he broke free in the crisis.

And what about Silo? Will he be able to get out of it all?

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, but he knew very well that he had no choice - with his current state, he was lucky to be able to reach the rain country smoothly, how could he still take care of others!

As soon as she thought of this, her brows suddenly tightened, and she fell to the ground with a wry smile, this bad thing really can't stand the chatter!

"Are you going to sleep here again?"

She finally stood up, and saw Jiuzun striding over, "It's really interesting, I've never seen anyone sleeping in the desert in broad daylight." ”

Jiuzun's tone was full of ridicule, and Wu Jinghong gritted his teeth to refute, and only glared at him silently. This person's kung fu of pretending to be stupid is getting more and more sophisticated, knowing that she is not feeling well, and he has to look at the opportunity to strike at her.

"Phew, where's Siluo?"

The pain gradually dissipated, and Wu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, unhurriedly got up, and patted the sand all over his body.

"There's no water nearby, and there's no kid around." Jiuzun pulled the old horse up, and the old horse shook his head, drooping his eyelids tiredly, and his hind legs trembled uncontrollably.

Wu Jinghong watched silently for a while, and boarded the carriage without saying a word. For her, it is important to reach the rain country as soon as possible.

"There's no water, you have to fight for your breath, and you'll be there in two days." Jiuzun patted the old horse's head, jumped on the front of the car neatly, and flicked the whip, "Drive!" ”

Wu Jinghong in the car nodded, Jiuzun must not have said this to Lao Ma, but to her.

For her, the biggest problem now is not the damage caused by the Gu poison in her body, but the lack of water that is enough to kill.

The carriage moved forward one by one, and Wu Jinghong leaned weakly against the wall of the carriage, looking at Jiuzun's back through the curtain of the carriage.

What exactly is the plan of this Shura King, she still hasn't figured it out.

Maybe he was just taking her to the Rain Country by the way, she thought so, after all, his imperial brother seemed to look at him very closely, if it weren't for the need for them to go to the Rain Country, they wouldn't let Jiuzun run around at will.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep in her thoughts.

She was very unstable in her sleep, and she dreamed of the days when she was still a princess in Yunguo a few years ago.

"Your Highness the Princess."

"General Nangong."

Standing opposite her was the well-known Nangong Chen, who was also a proud disciple of her master, General Mao. He is a disciple of General Mao in the true sense, not only learning the art of war, but also practicing martial arts. Because of years of physical exercise, he has trained all the tendons and flesh, but his face is still delicate, and his eyes are still bright.

The two of them saluted from afar, and she walked in front of Nangong Chen.

This is the palace, the most dazzling place, and she can't lose the princess's demeanor here.

She walked for a while, but she couldn't hold back, and looked back at him.

Sure enough, he was still standing there, his warm eyes following her closely, and when he saw her turn around, he smiled slightly.

She suddenly felt that her face was hot, and the voice in her heart was almost resounding throughout the palace, "Tom Tom" Go away, don't let Brother Chen hear it!

She kept telling herself to be like a princess, to stay calm, to leave quickly.

But her feet seemed to have roots, her eyes seemed to be fixed, she stood in place, and looked at Nangong Chen for a long time.

In the end, it was Nangong Chen who nodded first and turned to leave, only then did she come back to her senses in shock, and hurriedly looked around, and the maids and palace people behind her all hung their heads deeply as if they didn't see anything, which made her feel at ease.

Nangong Chen had already walked away, she reluctantly turned around and raised her feet, and was about to leave, when suddenly the sound of arrows sounded behind her head, and she didn't have time to turn back, and her heart ached.

She looked down, her eyes were all blood-red, she raised her hand, only to see that her hand was aging at a rate visible to the naked eye, and her skin had become dull yellow, with spots, and wrinkles creeping up one by one.

"What is this?" Her eyes were full of horror, and she screamed, she will be twenty-eight years old, how can she be so old?

"Hong'er, Hong'er!"

Before she fell to the ground, she heard the painful cry of the queen mother, and saw her father, who was dressed in bright yellow, rushing towards her. Countless faces flashed in front of me, or shocked, or curious, or proud, or regretful, and even scolding, and some of them were bitterly reproached.

"Father, mother, mother......" Jinghong has tired you......
