Chapter 3 Young Lin He
As the group marched, the terrain slowly descended, and there was already a trace of green in front of the eyes.
"Desert Oasis!" the gray-robed old man was in good spirits for a while, knowing that the place where the young man had taken them to find a water source had arrived.
When I arrived here, although the strong sunlight was still baking the earth, the boiling heat wave had dissipated a lot, and a trace of cool air emerged from the ground, surrounding Ren's surroundings, which was indescribably refreshing.
Excited by this cool air, the ten guards who were already staggering and shaky instantly lifted their spirits, and their pace was much steady.
And the woman riding the golden camel felt even more obvious, as if she had stepped through the burning purgatory and found the door of life.
Some way on, the greenery became more and more dense, and plants such as aquatic plants were able to drown the hooves of the golden camel.
"Water!" shouted a guard in front of him in a hoarse voice with a trembling voice.
Everyone looked up, and not far away, a small lake appeared surrounded by green grass, and from the sky, it looked like a round jade inlaid on this boundless yellow sand.
The feet couldn't help but speed up a little, and everyone soon came to the water's edge. A gust of wind blew, and the surface of the lake rippled. At this time, everyone no longer had the burning sensation they had before, and a trace of moisture hit their cheeks, wiping off the beads of sweat on them.
The bodies of this group of people were extremely "dry", and it was said that they should have rushed to the water source with joy when they saw the water source at this time, but in the eyes of the young man, although the ten guards were extremely eager to touch the water, none of them did so.
The gray-robed old man stepped forward slowly, reached out into the water, and made a gesture after a movement.
Only then did the ten guards step forward, untie the water bags from their waists and begin to fill them with water.
The sound of water pouring into the water bag comes and goes, and it sounds so pleasant to listen to at the moment.
One of the guards held two jugs in both hands, one to the old man who stood by the water, and the other to the woman riding on the golden camel.
After that, the ten guards raised their heads and drank water.
The old man picked up the water bag and touched his lips casually, then put down the water bag and looked at the young man by the water.
The boy's two water bags were also filled, and he screwed the lid on without taking a sip.
The old man saw all this in his eyes, and secretly remembered it in his heart and did not say much.
The boy picked up two water bags and habitually wanted to hang them on the golden camel, only to find that his golden camel was being "requisitioned" by a woman.
When the young man looked up at the golden camel, he found that the woman on the golden camel was looking at him, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
The young man understood, walked over, and patted the golden camel's neck lightly with his hand, and the golden camel knelt down again as before. The girl gave a grateful look and rolled over. Turning his back, he gently lifted the weft yarn in front of his mouth and took a sip of water.
The boy smiled, turned and found a place to sit down.
Not long after the young man sat down, the gray-robed old man came over and sat down not far from the young man like a young man
"The old man's surname is Han Dan's name, this time thanks to the little brother's timely rescue, I can come here alive, I dare not forget the grace of saving my life, and I haven't asked the little brother to respect his name. ”
"The boy's surname is Lin Minghe, I don't dare to save my life, I also happened to meet it. ”
The young man waved his hand, he was not very old, but he looked very old.
"For Lin He Shaoxia, you are a convenient one, and it is indeed a life-saving grace for us, and this kindness is remembered by the old man and others. Han Feng said sincerely, "The old man has a reluctant request, and I also ask the young man to help him." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin He turned his head to look at Han Feng.
Han Feng glanced back, five of the ten guards were sitting to recover their strength, five were standing vigilantly around, the woman in white who was covering her face with weft yarn had finished drinking the water and was squatting by the water, stretching out her white and tender hands to gently wash the handkerchief in her hand.
"Although I had expected the difficulty of living in this desert, I did not expect that the conditions here would be far worse than I expected, and that it was my uselessness that caused the young lady to fall into such a situation, and I promised her father that he would bring her home safely. But I knew that without the help of my little brother, we would never be able to get out of this desert, so I ......"
"You want me to take you out?"
"Exactly!"
"Why am I doing this?"
When the young man said this, he looked at the old man calmly.
The old man was silent, he didn't expect this young man named Lin He to ask such a question, he really didn't know how to answer.
"Or are you going to force me to take you out?"
The young man's eyes looked at the old man, staring at the hilt of the sword that the old man's right hand was pressing, and stared so calmly.
The atmosphere instantly became tense!
The movements of the ten guards not far away were still the same, but the five people who were sitting stood up, and the five people who were originally standing sat down and took turns to rest.
The woman in white was still washing her handkerchief, and her movements were very serious. The handkerchief had already been washed clean, but the white and tender hands were reluctant to leave the water, probably because they were really scared of the heat before.
They didn't hear the conversation between the old man and the young man, and they didn't notice the change in the atmosphere between the two.
The old man paused, left the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and looked at the boy apologetically
"It's old and confused, the little brother is our life-saving grace, and I don't dare to have any unfavorable thoughts about the young man. It is the responsibility of the old man to take the young lady back safely, but it is not the little brother's! After taking us to rest, we will say goodbye to the young man, and if we meet in the future, we will definitely repay the little brother for saving his life."
The young Lin He didn't say a word, and turned his head to look at the lake
"Don't be in a hurry to leave, this oasis will come to drink water every night, and by your means, I believe it will fill your stomach. As for taking you out, I have to go back to my house and ask my family for instructions, and you will wait here for two days, and if I don't come back in two days, you won't have to wait any longer. ”
After finishing speaking, Lin He stood up, walked straight to the golden camel, turned over, and left.
Han Feng didn't expect this change, and watched the young man leave, and only said four words, "Young man Gao Yi!"
............
Lin He rode on top of the golden camel and left in one direction. After reaching a certain distance, at a turn in the slope, he rolled over and fell, lying on the ground, motionless, while the golden camel continued to move forward.
The time for touching a stick of incense passed, Lin He got up and glanced in the direction he came from, and after making sure that no one was following, the guard in his eyes was lowered slightly, and then he whistled. After a short time, the golden camel came to him. He rolled over and rode the golden camel again, and turned in a different direction.
It's not that he Lin He is too careful, but his home really can't be discovered.
In fact, Lin He had concealed it before, and saving these people was not easy, but intentional. He wants to get in touch and see what the outside world is like!
