Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Arduous Journey

Jiang Hong turned his head and saw Shi Yahan screaming blindfolded, Jiang Hong walked over with curiosity, patted her on the shoulder and asked, "Hanhan, what's wrong?"

"Brother Jiang Hong, it's so scary, it's scary...... I just saw a strange black image running over, woo ......" said as he seemed to let go of his nervousness, closed his eyes and threw himself into Jiang Hong's arms and choked.

"It's okay, Hanhan, I don't believe you see anything. Jiang Hong patted Shi Yahan's shoulder and said comfortingly.

At this time, Shi Jian and Shi Jiajia both saw Shi Yahan in Jiang Hong's arms, Shi Jian saw Jiang Hong looking over, and said with a smile: "You go on, disturb, but don't make trouble." The last word dragged on as he spoke, which seemed a little meaningful.

Shi Jiajia was not so calm, her face turned slightly red, and she scolded Jiang Hong for being a hooligan in her heart, not because she had an opinion on being with Shi Yahan, but she couldn't do it in front of others like this.

When Jiang Hong heard Shi Jian's words, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "No, second uncle, I ......" Jiang Hong wanted to explain but couldn't say anything for a while.

"Second uncle, I saw a strange black shadow just now, I didn't dare to look at it, I don't know how it was in Brother Jiang Hong's arms. Jiang Hong was organizing how to speak the language, but Shi Yahan spoke first. Jiang Hong looked at her helplessly when he heard this, and had to secretly sigh that this child was miserable by her.

"Hehe, we understand, we don't need to explain. Shi Jian obviously decided that he didn't believe Shi Yahan's explanation at all, and Shi Jiajia didn't think so.

Shi Yahan listened to the words of the second uncle, smiled and wiped away her tears, looked left and left, and then said to herself: "Why is it gone?"

Only Jiang Hong heard this sentence, but he didn't care much about it, he just kept an eye on it, he believed Shi Yahan's words, and Shi Yahan, who was very nervous, didn't even pay attention to things related to innocence, and he wouldn't tell such a lie to deceive people.

Jiang Hong felt that Shi Yahan was like this, and he didn't feel the need to explain, but in this way, Shi Jian and Shi Jiajia almost confirmed this matter in their hearts.

Just such a small episode ended with Jiang Hong and Shi Yahan being misunderstood, they casually ate some of the dried beast meat and water they brought, Shi Jian asked them to wait for him to have something to do, and then entered the forest again.

More than half an hour later, Shi Jian came back with a bag of water on his back, and as soon as he put it down, he sat on the ground without the image of an elder and said: "You guys quickly take out your water bags and fill them, enough for you to drink for four days, there is no water at all along the way, oops, I'm tired to death, you hurry up." Finally, when they saw Jiang Hong, they looked at him like a monster, and said hurriedly.

Jiang Hong nodded and didn't say anything, took out his water bag and put it up, but in his heart, he thought that this second uncle, who had no image, cared about people in a very special way.

Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia didn't say anything, they filled their water bags, and those who said that a person couldn't drink it in ten days, seeing this, Jiang Hong asked suspiciously: "Can you drink so much water with you?"

Shi Yahan rolled her eyes, and said with a look that you don't understand: "The rest of your face washing, who doesn't wash your face like you boys." ”

Jiang Hong had to be embarrassed and didn't say anything to collect the cloth tent that he didn't use all night last night. Shi Jian saw that Jiang Hong was deflated, and looked at Jiang Hong's eyes full of pride, because this was not the first time he had taken a girl out, thinking of the past years, Shi Jian's face showed a look of memory, but his expression was bitter, obviously he was a person with a story.

Shi Jian fell into a brief memory, and it wasn't until Jiang Hong packed up his things and came over to call him that he turned around and smiled at Jiang Hong, and then went to pack his things as well.

Jiang Hong just saw Shi Jian's eyes, feeling a little heartbroken and a little helpless, and at this time he realized that this second uncle was far from being as simple as he appeared.

Shi Jian packed up his things, and said with a smile: "Friends, are you all ready?"

Jiang Hong shook his head with a smile and followed, this second uncle really didn't know what made him hide it so much, and he set off before he could answer. Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia obviously knew the character of the second uncle very well, so they followed Shi Jian towards the center of the desert without surprise.

The edge was just a desert without plants, and as they walked deeper, the soil on the ground turned into quicksand, making Jiang Hong's journey much more difficult. Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia had already pulled together to prevent falling, and although Jiang Hong and Shi Jian had a little difficulty walking, everything was as usual.

"Hanhan, give us your bag to help you carry it, but the premise is that you have to pour out some of your water, it's too heavy for us to carry and walk. Seeing that Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia were about to fall behind, Jiang Hong and Shi Jian said after discussing. Jiang Hong began to feel a little proud in his heart, didn't he want to wash his face? Now I see how you don't wash what you drink? Jiang Hong thought that Shi Yahan's flawless face had become dirty, and he was inexplicably happy in his heart, and he thought with some evil taste.

"No, we can, if you want us to pour the water, just say it directly, why bother beating around the bush like this?" Jiang Hong had just finished speaking kindly, and when he was imagining it proudly, Shi Yahan glared at him viciously and replied.

Jiang Hong regretted a little that he brought it up, how good it would be if he let the second uncle mention it.

Shi Jian looked at him and smiled at the side at this time, Jiang Hong knew that he must know that it would be such an answer when he saw his appearance, no wonder when he put forward this opinion, he said with all his strength, Jiang Hong also gritted his teeth with hatred at this time, but he was helpless.

"If you don't appreciate it, forget it, you think I want to carry it. With that, a man walked forward.

Shi Yahan looked at Jiang Hong's appearance, weighed the bag on his back, and regretted it a little in his heart, he had let Jiang Hong carry it on his back if he knew it, but he couldn't pull his face down at this time.

Jiang Hong walked forward, and suddenly a black shadow passed in front of his eyes, and he looked around in surprise, but found nothing. There was something strange in his heart, at this time, what Shi Yahan said in the morning echoed in his mind, and it was incredibly overlapping. Jiang Hong's eyes were very good before, but now that he has strength, he has a keen sense, and he believes in his eyes.

Although he was shocked in his heart, Jiang Hong still didn't say what he saw, not that he didn't believe Shi Jian and them, but Jiang Hong guessed that no one except Shi Yahan would believe what he said, obviously looking at Shi Jian and Shi Jiajia's demeanor, he knew that they didn't see anything.

Jiang Hong stood in place and paused, Shi Jian and the others came up, Shi Yahan began to pour water without saying a word, and just waited for most of the water to be poured and stuffed his bag into Jiang Hong's arms, and then said coquettishly: "Brother Jiang Hong, people can't walk anymore, is it okay to help others carry a road?" After speaking, he looked at him with innocent eyes.

"Didn't you say I wanted you to pour the water, why did you pour it yourself now?" Jiang Hong was stunned and quipped as if holding a grudge.

"Brother Jiang Hong, people misunderstood, don't you blame others?" Shi Yahan said even more aggrievedly, as if Jiang Hong had provoked him.

Seeing this, Jiang Hong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and almost didn't suffocate him to death. You say you can just say it, hey...... Jiang Hong couldn't listen to it anymore, carried his bag on his back, and said with some collapse: "You stop, stop...... I'll just carry it on my back, don't talk about it!"

Shi Yahan turned around and saw Shi Jiajia smiling at her proudly, and then turned around and said, "Brother Jiang Hong, aren't you angry?"

"Angry, let's go. Jiang Hong saw that Shi Yahan was talking normally this time, and walked forward again as he spoke. Just now he looked back and saw that Shi Jian had already carried Shi Jiajia's bag, and he didn't know what this little woman was paying attention to, she was tired and hot, and now everything she said was a floating cloud, and someone was carrying a backpack.

The first day of the desert journey ended like this, and at night, Jiang Hong and the others tiredly found a place with less quicksand to sleep, eat some dried animal meat to satisfy their hunger, and drink some water, so that the simple life of the day was over.

The next morning they set off against the darkness before dawn, just like themselves, walking through the darkness of this desert to reach the desert village of dawn, but the deeper and deeper quicksand blocked their excited footsteps, and the distance they walked at the end of the day was even less, looking back at the quicksand that was blown by the wind all around, and they were a little flustered when they looked back.

Moreover, Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia's feet have been worn out, and the gauze wrapped after the wear and tear can't stop the invasion of the quicksand, and there is a lot of fine sand sticking to the wounds.

Jiang Hong looked at their appearance, especially Shi Yahan's dusty face, the flawless face in the past became what it was like at this time, Jiang Hong wanted to laugh in his heart, but he couldn't laugh. Because he was not much better than Shi Yahan at this time, and his clothes were also covered with dust, he was a person who was prone to sweating, and the dust and sweat were glued together at this time, which made it even more uncomfortable.

The four people who talked and laughed last night look at me at this time, I look at you, obviously no one wants to move, and they are all a little prostration.

Early on the morning of the third day, they were not as excited as yesterday, and they lazily got up to pack up the cloth tent, and slowly rubbed until the sun came out before setting off.

This day's journey to the desert was not made easy because of Jiang Hong's exhaustion, but felt more and more difficult, Jiang Hong's feet were also worn out, this day he was really completely prostration, and he completely succumbed to this desert with the ninefold perfection of refining his body, not to mention Shi Yahan and Shi Jiajia, on the contrary, Shi Jian looked tired, but he seemed to be very relaxed.

At night, Jiang Hong looked at Shi Jian who helped them build a cloth tent thoughtfully, he usually slept at night to meditate and practice, and he could only recover the next day, at this time, Jiang Hong's heart was grateful for the exercise that he didn't know the name, and he was also strange about Shi Jian's energy, he heard Shi Taishu mention that his second uncle had only refined the body ninefold, how could he have more energy than him, and in the end he couldn't figure it out that he took this path more.

Jiang Hong seemed to feel some touch behind him, and when he looked back, he saw a black figure rubbing behind him, and he was about to take a closer look at what it was, when he suddenly heard Shi Jian's voice: "Jiang Hong, sand beast, sand beast, sand beast ......"

Jiang Hong hurriedly raised his foot and kicked over.
