It's late summer, the weather is no longer so dry (rè), the birds in the sky are decreasing, there are no cicadas in the forest, and the whole river seems to be a little quieter.

On a road that became more and more desolate, a horse-drawn carriage ran in a row, leaving only two straight wheel prints in its pass.

Hua Wenxiang acted as a coachman alone, looked at the road ahead, and said suspiciously: "Yuelian, are you sure you read the map correctly? ”

The surroundings are desolate and terrible, with almost nothing but ...... Sediment.

Tu Yuelian opened the map again and confirmed, "We're not wrong, this is the desert, it's normal to be desolate, and we have just entered this area, and it is estimated that the next road will be even more desolate." ”

Hua Wenxiang saw such a desolate scene for the first time, only felt incredible, I had heard of the desert when I was in the forest before, and now I saw it, and it really deserved its name.

An hour later, there was nothing but the desert in front of me.

Hei Qiu'er stole out the window and said in despair: "What the hell is this place, we can't take another road." ”

Tu Yuelian said: "This desert is the nearest road, if we take other roads, we will have to walk at least ten more hours (rì). ”

Hua Wenxiang whipped the horse, "Dead fat cat, don't complain, you shouldn't be happy to come to the desert for the first time when you are so big, and I heard that the camels (ròu) in the desert are delicious." ”

The black ball heart (qíng) improved slightly, "I've heard of it too, so we can eat it today." ”

Hua Wenxiang said: "How do I know, if you are bored, you can sleep again, and it is estimated that you will have (ròu) to eat when you wake up." ”

Hei Qiu'er was really sleepy, after all, he had just finished eating some pastries, which aroused his sleepiness, "Then I will sleep for a while, I hope to wake up with a camel (ròu) to eat." Little flower, don't let me down. ”

Hua Wenxiang scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and die, you dead fat cat." ”

The black ball's heart is as big as this vast desert, and he has just laid down and snores.

After a while, Hua Wenxiang asked, "Yuelian, are you sleepy?"

Tu Yuelian didn't know why he suddenly asked this, so she replied casually, "Not sleepy." ”

She is a monk, and she just woke up this morning, sleepy.

Hua Wenxiang was a little embarrassed (qíng), but still said, "Why don't you sit down and talk with me for a while." ”

Tu Yuelian frowned slightly, "I sit in the carriage, can't we talk?"

Hua Wenxiang didn't stop doing anything, and insisted: "You sit here, it's convenient for the two of us to chat." ”

Tu Yuelian's inexplicable pretty face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "What do you want to do." ”

Hua Wenxiang's face was as thick as a mountain, and she tried her best to hide the shame in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's not that you're about to leave, I just want to say more if I can." ”

Tu Yuelian moved her gaze from his back to the vast desert outside the window, "Inexplicable." ”

Then he stopped caring about the warm fragrance of flowers.

Hua Wenxiang no longer forced this girl to sit over, and said to herself: "Yuelian, do you know, you are the first human race I met, before I met you, I lived in the beast pile all day long, I didn't know what other human races looked like, I also fantasized about it, but after all, it was a blind thought, you ...... You're a hundred, a thousand times better looking than the Terrans I imagined. I remember the first time I met you, you were dressed in light blue clothes, with a dirty face, carrying a basket full of fruit, and a few wild games in your hands, just like a little savage. ”

After Tu Yuelian heard the word "little savage", her eyebrows furrowed, obviously a little angry, but she was quickly relieved.

Hua Wenxiang continued: "But even if you were dirty and messy at that time, I still thought it was beautiful, maybe it was the first time I met the relationship between the human race, and later at the Fang Town Mayor's house, you changed into a (shēn) clean clothes and appeared, and it really amazed me at that time, at that time, I was thinking, are all the girls in the world so good-looking? But later, we traveled to so many places together, and I found out that it was not, it turned out that you ...... Yuelian."

Tu Yuelian was already shy, and directly interrupted Hua Wenxiang's words, "Enough, don't say it, say these sour words inexplicably." I don't want to hear it, don't talk about it!"

Hua Wenxiang looked at the golden desert in front of him, and an indescribable sense of joy came to his heart, although his words were not finished, but he indirectly said some inner words, which made him very happy.

Then there was a moment of embarrassment in the carriage, and both a man and a woman were silent.

There is no end to the desert, and the weather is getting more and more (rè).

The big (rì) here is even more poisonous than the dog days, and the horses began to struggle to walk on the sand, Hua Wenxiang stopped the carriage to rest for a while, and he took out a kettle from the Loucang jade and poured some water for the horses to drink.

Tu Yuelian said: "It's easy to get lost in the desert, and after a while, you will let the horses go straight ahead. ”

Hua Wenxiang snorted.

Horses are far inferior to camels in the desert, let alone inferior horses.

Then the two of them and the cat drove more and more slowly, and at dusk, Black Ball woke up, disappointed to see that there was still endless sand around him.

It has no interest in deserts it has never seen before.

In the evening, the two men and the cat had to stop their journey, and they came to a huge rock, set up their tents, and planned to spend the night here.

Hua Wenxiang was prescient, and picked up a lot of dead branches and remnants of trees by the way during the rush just now, in order to be afraid that he would not find anyone at night, so he could use it to make a fire and shine a light or something.

Before leaving Zhuxiang County, Hua Wenxiang bought a lot of things such as pork trotters with sauce beef (ròu) sauce in the restaurant, and it was still very fresh when she took it out of the cangyu in the building.

When it comes to preserving food, Loucang jade is definitely the best choice, and the higher the quality of Loucang jade, the better the effect.

Hei Qiu'er surrounded two loose clothes, chirping from the cold, and complained: "This hellish place is going to die during the day (rè), and at night it is freezing to death." ”

But when he was talking, he was not idle.

Hua Wenxiang and Tu Yuelian also wore a piece of clothing each.

The night in the desert was relatively long, and this night, Hua Wenxiang slept alone in the carriage, and Tu Yuelian and Hei Qiuer slept in the tent.

In the early morning of the second (rì), the two of them and one cat continued to hurry.

Hei Qiu'er looked at the scene outside the window and said negatively: "Can't we get out?" ”

Hua Wenxiang scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, you dead fat cat, we have only been on the road for a day, the desert is so big, it will take at least seven or eight days to walk." ”

Hei Qiu'er muttered loudly: "If Luo Bei catches the horse, it is estimated that it will take three days." ”

Hua Wenxiang turned her head, her eyes murderous, "Dead fat cat, what did you say?"

Tu Yuelian persuaded: "Okay, okay, the map says that there are people in this desert, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet it today." ”

Hua Wenxiang looked at Hei Qiu'er, "I'll give Yuelian a face today, or I'll have to clean you up." ”

Heiqiuer has never been afraid of the warm fragrance of flowers, "Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, there is no interest." ”

Hua Wenxiang sat down and took a deep breath, but he didn't hear it, this dead fat cat did have no lessons, and when he was carrying the moon lotus on his back, he had to clean up well.

Black Ball suddenly shouted, "There's a city over there!"

Hua Wenxiang followed his line of sight, there was really a city, and the area was not small.

Tu Yuelian said with a smile: "We are really lucky, we have only been walking for more than an hour, and we have met someone." ”

Hua Wenxiang turned the horse's head and walked towards the city in the distance.

It was only when the carriage walked out of three or four miles that the city disappeared inexplicably.

Hua Wenxiang stopped the carriage, puzzled, and then quickly understood, "This is a mirage!"

Tu Yuelian was slightly disappointed, "It should be, it seems that we are happy for nothing." ”

Hei Qiu'er stood up (shēn) and yelled at the vast desert, "What a broken place, with such a teasing cat." ”

Tu Yuelian suddenly frowned, then stuck her head out of the window and looked down, the whole carriage was slowly sinking!

Hua Wenxiang was also aware of this situation, "Yes, we have entered the quicksand. ”

The black ball (qíng) was frightened, looked at the sinking carriage, and shouted, "Then we are not going to be buried in the sand." Think of a way. ”

Hua Wenxiang stood up (shēn) and said, "Yuelian, you hold the black ball, and I will throw you out." ”

Tu Yuelian knew what he meant and asked, "Then what should you do?"

Hua Wenxiang said: "Don't worry, I can jump out by myself, hurry up, I can't delay any longer." ”

The carriage was almost halfway sinking, and the horses were constantly struggling in the quicksand, and they were already half gone.

Tu Yuelian picked up the black ball and stood in front of Hua Wenxiang, who blinked and hesitated.

Tu Yuelian asked, "What are you waiting for?"

The situation is urgent, and there can be no further delay, Hua Wenxiang (shēn) wrapped her orange anger, gritted her teeth, and said, "It's rude, Yuelian." ”

After speaking, he put one hand against Tu Yuelian's back, and the other hand held (pì) strands, and after lifting the woman, his arm suddenly exerted force, like throwing an iron ball, throwing a person and a cat out in an instant.
