Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Wine Flag Stands Slanted and the Smoke Goes Straight (1)

After resting for a while, everyone went on the road again, and Shen Guhong's eyes would look at Qinghan from time to time. It's just that Qinghan hasn't seen her before, even though she can feel a gaze falling on her from time to time, but over the years, she has long been accustomed to other people's eyes. Of course, even if this gaze is different from others, it is no different from her.

The hot sand is endless, and herds of camel caravans and herds of people form a patented landscape. The camel kept going, but someone kept falling. It's just that everyone seems to have not seen it, and their usual chivalrous heart is gone at this time. Because in this cannibalistic desert, there are no chivalrous people.

It's coming in the evening again, and the sunset in the desert is extremely beautiful, but at this time, there are not many people to appreciate it. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Shen Guhong. After he first came out of Ewha Villa, he has always known how to make fun in suffering, and because of this, he found beauty in the predicament that many people can't find.

For example, at this time, people were complaining that the sun was too strong and the sand was too hot, but Shen Guhong looked up at the place where the sun was shining. He thought about the sunset of Dakuang Mountain, thinking about everything in Taibai Academy, and suddenly, the sun in this desert also became lovely, which may be that his heart is calm and naturally cool.

The camel walked slowly and walked another sand dune, and at that moment the one in front of him suddenly shouted, "Look, there is a house there!"

There should be people with houses, there should be water for people, and those who walk on foot will walk faster.

Shen Guhong looked towards the house in the desert, only to see that more than two miles in front of him, some wood blocked into a square area of a hundred zhang size, in the middle of the enclosure, there were several buildings, all of which were four-storey, and from a distance, it looked like a small palace group. But at that gate, there was a big banner unfurled in the wind. The wind was blowing, the sand and dust were flying, and the big flag was swaying in the wind, making a hunting sound, and the words "Desert Star" were written on it, and the handwriting was already a little blurred.

"Shall we also go to the inn to live?" said Tie Feng.

Mi Fang saw that Ye Ziheng, Qinghan, Tsing Yi and others had already walked in, and said, "Do you think there will be a room when you go up now?"

Tie Feng watched countless people pour into the Desert Star, and said, "It should be gone!"

Shen Guhong said: "Such a big inn, there should still be one." ”

"The inn is big, and there are even more people, it seems that Childe, you have become as stayy as me, and you are still smart Miss Fang. "Tie Feng has long been accustomed to following Shen Guhong and the others, and he regards them all as his relatives, so when he talks, there is no distinction between master and servant.

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "This inn is open in your place, do you think ordinary people can afford to live in it?"

Tie Feng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "It's the same reason, if these people are very rich, they won't come to this desert to suffer and find that unwarranted treasure." ”

Shen Guhong said: "That's right. ”

Mi Fang didn't speak, she obviously didn't want to live in the inn. Shen Guhong said: "We do have some silver on us, but we are also poor, so it's better to live outside, in addition, if they have water, they can supply some, if not, don't worry about the rest." ”

With the lesson in Chang'an City, this time when Tie Feng went to do something, he untied the dark iron box. Shen Guhong put the box on his back, looked at a flat place opposite, and said, "Let's go, where we will camp tonight!"

Mi Fang nodded and led the camel to that side. The four of them hadn't washed their faces in days, but their faces were still clean.

Tie Feng took out a burden, took out a few dry cakes from it and handed them to a few people, and after eating, they each drank some water.

"Our water can last for twenty days, of course, if nothing happens!" Ying Ting said.

Shen Guhong said: "Twenty days is already good, follow the map, we still have five or six days to get to Feiyun City." ”

Mi Fang said: "It stands to reason that Ye Ziheng and the people of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion will not come to such troubled waters, it seems that there is more than just a treasure in this Feiyun City." ”

Shen Guhong said: "Not only Ye Ziheng and the people of Baihua Pavilion, but even the purpose of that Wang Beichuan is probably not in the treasure." ”

"It's not for the treasure, then why?" Mi Fang's voice sounded, but it made both De Yingting and Tie Feng frown and ponder.

"It's useless to think too much, let's bring all the empty water bags, and I'll go in and see if there's any water!" Shen Guhong said.

Mi Fang said: "I'll go with you!"

Shen Guhong said: "It's been a tired day, you should just have a good rest, in addition, our camels, water and food, and the grass that the camels eat must be protected." ”

Yingting nodded: "Don't worry, with me, it will be fine!"

"I know, you must be going to see the iceberg!" Mi Fang said coldly.

Shen Guhong was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What iceberg are you looking at?"

"Hmph, you're still pretending!" Mi Fang was almost about to cry at this time. Shen Guhong suddenly understood, and he said, "Okay, let's go together!"

When Mi Fang heard this, she was immediately overjoyed, but her pretty face was already flushed, but no matter what, she was happy in her heart. The two of them carried a dozen water bags and walked towards the desert star.

At this time, the sun had sunk in the west, and the sky changed suddenly, but the dark clouds under the layers seemed to touch the ground.

Shen Guhong looked up, only to see that the wine flag standing obliquely had quieted down, and in the chimney on the top of the house in the inn, thick black smoke came out, rising straight towards the sky.

"'Desert Lonely Smoke' is there, but unfortunately there is no long river here, let alone a sunset. Shen Guhong said.

Mi Fang said: "Let's hurry up and see if there is any water!"

Shen Guhong nodded, and the two walked into the inn side by side, but they could see that there were pedestrians coming and going, and many people scolded: "Fuck, this water has really become gold, and it costs fifty taels of silver a bag!"

Shen Guhong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the dozen or so water bags in his hand, so to fill these water bags, there was definitely not much silver left on his body. But in the middle of the desert, water is really more expensive than gold, because in order to survive, you must have water.

There wasn't much water in the inn, but there was a deep well dug in the back, barely enough for drinking, and the rest of the daily water was accumulated when it rained. Shen Guhong naturally doesn't want that kind of water, he wants well water. He handed the water bag to the man who fetched water, and when the eighth water bag was full, the man who fetched water apologized and said, "Guest, it will take a while before there is water." ”

"It doesn't matter, as much as you want!" Shen Guhong took out the silver, and after paying the money, he and Mi Fang returned along the same road. Originally, he was really just here to fetch water, but after being reminded by Mi Fang, when he walked through the inn, he was a little expectant to meet Qinghan.

There were a total of eight water bags, Shen Guhong twisted six, Mi Fang carried two, and after going around the backyard, he came to the door of the inn. At this moment, I saw a delicate figure walking into the inn, who was not Qinghan?

Shen Guhong's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he staggered past that Qinghan, and a faint fragrance permeated, Shen Guhong's heart trembled again, because in this fragrance, there was a faint fragrance of pear blossoms. For pear blossoms, Shen Guhong naturally has a unique feeling, for many years, the few pieces of bloody pear blossoms that he once picked up have been kept extremely well by him, because he is afraid that he will forget that he is a person who lives for others.

At this time, of course, Mi Fang also pouted, because she always felt that Shen Guhong had an indescribable emotion towards Qinghan.

Back at the tent, Tie Feng had already fed the camels. Ying Ting sat aside to rest, he could see all their things from the place he was sitting, and his gaze swept around from time to time, as long as someone approached their camp, he would definitely not escape his eyes.

"Put the water away, this is four hundred taels of silver!" Shen Guhong handed the water to Tie Feng and said.

Tie Feng exclaimed, "It's so expensive, I'm wondering, where can I spend too much money in this desert?"

Mi Fang said: "You don't admit that you are stupid, of course you are out of the desert to flowers!"

When Shen Guhong heard this, he just smiled softly. Tie Feng said again: "I really hope that those robbers in the desert have robbed them of all the black money they earned!"

Shen Guhong said: "I'm afraid you can't see this point, because people dare to open a shop here, and they will be afraid of a few robbers?"

Tie Feng listened, and he also felt reasonable.

The sky gradually darkened, and suddenly a cool breeze blew, only to see a violent storm, gray and gray, and in the night, at a glance, it would definitely not exceed half a foot of distance.

"With such a strong wind, do you have to cause a tornado?" Tie Feng exclaimed.

Shen Guhong narrowed his eyes and said, "In the desert, there are often storms, but today is lucky, it should be raining!"

As soon as Shen Guhong finished speaking, he saw a lightning bolt running across the sky, illuminating the surrounding fields, and saw the flying sand dancing wildly, rolling into the air, as if the end of the world. Another thunderclap rang out, and a torrential downpour fell sharply.

Shen Guhong and Mi Fang were sitting together in a tent at this time, and they hurriedly sealed the tent so that not a drop of water could penetrate inside.

Whether it's raining or the sun is out, the people who suffer the most are those who walk on foot with nothing. But in any case, after a few days of hot baking, everyone was extremely excited to get enough of a heavy rain. The noise that I only heard at the moment turned out to be those people who were speechless with joy, and many people shouted with joy at this time.

"These people don't need to be so excited, right?" Mi Fang was a little difficult to understand the mood of those people, because along the way, although it was a little hard, they had enough food and water, so they didn't suffer too much.
