Chapter 160: Gul Aisha
Half a month later.
Li Huai didn't know how far he had walked, there was a desert in front of him, a desert in the back, a desert on the left, and a desert on the right.
Telescopes also don't see the end.
Fortunately, he had a compass, otherwise he would have lost his way in the desert and trapped in it.
But.
The compass can only keep him from getting lost, and he still often deviates, thirty miles in a straight line, and a little off, then he has to walk twice the distance.
Thirty miles is the distance he traveled in a day.
Li Huailai was also worried before, if he met someone, what he would say, others would not suspect it.
You know, even if others don't know that he is King Liang, they are considered ordinary Yu Guoren, and they are likely to be arrested.
If they are classified as spies and are not protected by the covenant, they can be executed directly, no one can say anything.
Then in order to survive, he can only take the initiative to expose his identity.
Now it seems that this concern is completely unnecessary.
Li Huai entered the Western Regions for half a month, except for on the border, he avoided some scouts from the Western Regions, and never saw a living person again.
But I saw a lot of bones.
Some are exposed to the desert, and some are blown out by sandstorms.
After each sandstorm, some new bones will appear, but some old bones will also be drowned.
Without exception.
The bones had no identification, no belongings, no clothing, no strips of cloth.
It's definitely not naturally weathered, but like someone has looted it.
Li Huai can often find some scratches on the bones, some of which are still very new, and some of which are very old.
Why are there so many bones?
What did the living take from the dead?
Unknown.
Li Huai didn't care either, he just wanted to get out of this desert, he hadn't drunk water for a long time.
Finally.
He found that the sand was slightly harder than in other places, and that he could turn out some black yarn by sticking a knife into it.
There is no water in this place, but there must be water.
It was nightfall.
Li Huai gathered some tumbleweeds and dry branches, lit a bonfire, and prepared to spend the night here.
He was far away from the campfire, hung up his knife, and put the kettle underneath it, collecting the dew of the night.
If he hadn't done this, he would have died of thirst in the desert.
But not all places can collect water in this way, and there is not enough moisture in the air and soil, so everything is in vain.
So he was looking for this relatively wet sandy area.
Li Huai arranged everything, and then got into the homemade sleeping bag and slew, anyway, there could be no one around.
Wait until tomorrow morning to have water to drink.
The night passed.
"Water, there's water here."
"Whose is this?"
"Whoever he is, drink it first."
"Leave me some."
Li Huai was woken up in a daze, opened his eyes suddenly, got out of the sleeping bag, and ran over to take a look.
Watch the last drop fall into a woman's mouth.
Uncle!
"Thank you for the water." The last woman to drink the water, after seeing Li Huai, took the lead in speaking.
Pretty polite.
Li Huai saw that there were many of them, and all of them were martial artists, so he didn't make any trouble, just walked over.
Got his knife back, and an empty kettle.
"Aren't you angry at all?" She asked again.
"I'm angry, can you spit it out?" Li Huai asked rhetorically.
Poof!
They all smiled.
"And what do you do?" This woman has a lot of problems.
Li Huai spread his hands, "Die." ”
"You're alone?" She even caught up with her.
"Why don't you come with us, next time you find water, let you drink it first, it will be compensated for you."
When her companions heard this, they all frowned, not because of the sentence that let Li Huai drink first, but because they wanted to take him with them.
"I'm not in the same direction as you." Li Huai indifferently refused.
"You don't know where we're going, how can you be sure we're not in the same direction?" She said with a smile.
Li Huai pointed to the west and told them directly, "I'm going to the end of the sky." ”
"It's another daydreamer, and it's useless to go, so it's better to come with us." She suggested.
Li Huai smiled, "If you don't go, how do you know if you're going for nothing." ”
"There are more people like you, if it were that simple, who would toss in the desert." She tried to convince Li Huai.
Of course, Li Huai will not tell them that he is different from those people, he was introduced by someone, and he promised not to go in vain.
But he did have some curiosity.
"And what are you tossing around in the desert?"
"You don't know?"
She was even more surprised.
Li Huaiyi shrugged, "In that case, my goal is completely different from yours, I am not interested in this desert, I just want to go to one place, the end of the sky." ”
The subconscious mind is that there is no need to go together.
The woman smiled and shook her head.
"On the contrary, we have the same goal, you are not interested in this desert, and we are not interested in the end of the sky."
Her companion was also a little more relaxed.
If the demand is not the same, there will be no competition.
"However, the destination is different."
"The destination is different, but the direction is the same."
“……”
Li Huai has never seen this, stalking, oh, I seem to have seen it, isn't this how Yue Qianqian is?
But this is completely different from Yue Qianqian.
Why do you have to pull him along?
Li Huai hesitated for a while, these people didn't ask about his identity at all, and it didn't seem impossible to sneak into their team.
In case you meet someone from the Western Regions, you may be able to use their identities to cover for yourself.
Walking alone in the desert does make one have to be suspicious.
But, are they good people?
Try it.
"I'll do a test, and if you pass the test, I'll go with you." Li Huai said lightly.
Her companion frowned again, this time not because of one more person, but because of his attitude.
Too proud.
Who does he think he is, prince?
"Okay."
The woman nodded.
Thereupon.
Li Huai threw a pit in front of them, took out a piece of clothing from the pit, and lifted it and twisted it vigorously.
Squeeze out some water.
Watching Li Huai drink the water clean, they couldn't help but roll their throats.
This kid really knows how to test!
"Alright, I'll go with you."
Li Huai just wanted to know what would happen to them when they saw the most precious treasure in the desert, water.
A person who can control greed is considered a good person.
"My name is Gul Aisha, just call me Gul or Aisha." She said with a smile.
Li Huai raised his eyebrows, "Are you from the Western Regions?" ”
"We don't hate the people of the Central Plains." Gul Aisha smiled.
The Central Plains that the people of Yu believe is north of the Yangtze River, south of Shanhaiguan, and the entire middle and lower basin of the Yellow River.
However, people outside the Yu country, the people of the entire Yu country are called the Central Plains people, and the Central Plains represents the Yu country.
In their team, they are also from the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and Gul Aisha is their captain.
"Li Huai."
Li Huai never disdained to use a fake name, saying that they didn't know each other, and they would think it was the same name when they knew.
"Central Plains Li?" Gulia Isha was slightly surprised.
"The emperor also has a few poor relatives, and there are no less than 100,000 people surnamed Li in Yu Guo." Li Huai casually vaguely passed.
She really didn't think much of it.
"There are many of them called Guli or Aisha, and there are many in the Western Regions."
"Then let's go."
After Li Huai packed up his things, he followed them to the west, there were more people, and it was indeed more lively and interesting.
Guli Aisha didn't seem to have any city government, she told Li Huai everything.
Li Huai also learned from her mouth that the bones in this desert were basically martial artists above the Hinayana realm before their deaths, and there were even some grandmasters.
This is related to the catastrophe of the previous dynasty.
At that time, the Hehuan Sect, which had a high prestige in the rivers and lakes, only lasted less than two hours under the iron hooves of the previous dynasty.
This made Jianghu completely lose the confidence to resist the imperial court, and in order to save the fire of the sect, they chose to leave their homeland.
With the secret book of the sect, he fled to the Western Regions.
After arriving in this desert, all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes were crowded together, and the hearts of the people were uneven.
Countless people have stayed in the desert forever, and some people have simply buried the secret books of the sect in the desert.
So, they came to this desert in search of these lost cheats.
It is said that there are quite a few teams like them.
But there are not many of them, after all, this desert has been turned over countless times, and the things that are easy to find have long been picked up.
But.
Somebody will always pick something up, and that keeps them motivated.
Li Huai didn't care even more after hearing this, if it was useful to pick up a few martial arts cheats, what would he do at the end of the day.
"Why did you bury water in the ground?" After Guli Aisha finished speaking, he began to ask Li Huai questions.
"Bury water in the ground?"
Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your experience in driving the desert is probably not enough." ”
They smiled awkwardly.
"At night, I'll teach you." Li Huai didn't hide it.
