Chapter 10: Boys and Girls
The moon stars are scarce
A group walks in the desert.
The ten guards all carried the same things: a large piece of roast meat that had been specially handled, two water bags. One smaller one was originally brought by himself, and the larger one was freshly made from the skin of a beast of prey.
Lin He and Han Feng were a little more relaxed, and the things were teased on the golden hunchback. Of course, in addition to the water bags, barbecue and other things on the back of the golden camel, there is also a princess.
The journey is always boring, not to mention that what you see around you is always the same. The eyes are tired, and the heart is even more tired!
After walking for two days, there was almost no rest, Lin He and Han Feng were fine, and the ten guards had already felt like their legs were filled with lead. And the woman riding on the golden camel was also choked by the bumps, and there was a tendency to sit unsteadily and fall down at any time.
The old man saw all this in his eyes and took two quick steps, but Lin He said beside him: "Little brother Lin He, why don't you take a rest here tonight?"
The old man himself knew that his familiarity with this place was far inferior to that of Lin He, so he asked for his opinion first.
Lin He didn't speak, his eyes looked around, calculating something in his heart.
In fact, he was looking at the topography here, the formation of oases in the desert seemed to be irregular, but Lin He knew that their topography was often very similar. He was all too familiar with this desert, and he knew very well which terrain would lead to the existence of oases.
"Let's deviate a little bit and go in this direction, I believe we should be able to find a better place to rest. Lin He pointed in one direction and said.
"Oasis?" Han Feng asked, both happy and suspicious. Of course, he hoped that Lin He could find an oasis for everyone to have a good rest, but at the same time, he couldn't believe it. Because it is so difficult to encounter an oasis in the desert, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is possible to meet but not to find. The reason why Lin He was able to find an oasis before was because Lin He was familiar with the terrain. After walking for two days, he made sure that Lin He had never been to this place, so Lin He said that there was an oasis with such a casual finger, Han Feng was a little suspicious.
Lin He nodded and didn't say much, and took the lead to walk first, and Han Feng and the others immediately followed.
After walking for about half an hour, the air slowly became humid and the ground was green.
This familiar feeling, Han Feng already knew that the oasis had arrived. For the teenager who walked in front, he felt more and more incomprehensible, how familiar he was with this piece to do such a thing!
The princess above the golden camel had a bright look in her eyes, and she was very curious, how could this young man be about the same age as her, even a year or two younger, how could he walk in this Jedi as if he were coming home?
After walking a little further, I finally saw the water source, which was much smaller than the previous lake, but the water was clearer.
The ten guards were busy, and Lin He and Han Feng were chatting. Of course, most of them are talking about Han Feng, Lin He is listening, and they are talking about some things outside the desert, all kinds of interesting things, cultural features, etc. Lin He also understood that Han Feng was taking the opportunity to familiarize him with the situation outside, so he listened very carefully.
And the girl princess lifted the weft, and gently wiped her fair face with a handkerchief dipped in water, looking satisfied. She was originally a princess on high ground, and at this time she should have been served by a group of maids, soaking comfortably in the large and gorgeous bath. But at this time, even taking a bath has become a luxury.
Women love cleanliness, especially with a status like her. Running around in the desert in a row, the wind and the sun were exposed, and the sweat soaked my clothes I don't know how many times, and I don't know how many times I stained the sand. Not to mention the body, even the heart of the girl princess is tormented all the time. But she never showed it, and she didn't want to cause any trouble for everyone. Even with her status, everything should be taken for granted!
"There shouldn't be any creatures here tonight," Lin He said, after calculating the time, "but there should be fish in this water, and the light is not enough at the moment, so we will have to wait until tomorrow to catch fish." However, I think it's better for us to travel at night, and it's much more efficient than during the day. ”
Han Feng thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed, "Little brother is thoughtful, the food we brought this time is still sufficient, and it is not a big problem to last for a day or two."
Han Feng now trusts Lin He very much, he is not old but stable enough, and he is also very thoughtful. And now he doesn't have to worry about the water at all, and with the water he has, the food is not a problem. He can now say that his heart is very relaxed, he used to think that it depends on the will of God to get out of this desert, but now it is only a matter of time.
"In this case, shall we rest for an hour and then set off?" Han Feng asked.
"Maybe we can wait a little longer and give her some time. Lin He said as he gestured to the girl princess and said.
Han Feng was slightly stunned, but after seeing the girl princess reluctant to stay by the water and refused to leave, he immediately understood what Lin He meant.
"It's the old man's negligence, thank you little brother. ”
Han Feng's words of thanks were sincere, and he found that he was too careless.
Getting up and walking towards the princess, Han Feng asked, "Is the princess tired?"
The girl princess hurriedly stood up, "Is the immortal master on his way, let's go." ”
Han Feng felt a little distressed, this girl was almost grown up by him, and he liked this simple and kind princess in his heart
"Don't worry, let's find a place to rest later, and the princess can take this opportunity to wash up." ”
"Really?" the young princess almost spoke, and her voice raised a few points, and she could see that she was desperate for it. However, she immediately stabilized her mood, "No need for the immortal master, Yu'er can't delay time." ”
"Alas......" Han Feng sighed, "It's the old man who is useless and makes the princess suffer, if it weren't for the reminder of the little brother Lin He, I wouldn't even think of this." The matter is decided, and the old man is in charge. ”
Han Feng said conclusively, turned around and walked back, a little ashamed of what this kind girl meant.
When the girl princess heard Han Feng say this, she didn't say anything more. In fact, her heart is still desperate to cleanse it, this is nature.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Lin He, and then quickly retracted them, as if she was afraid of being discovered.
Han Feng immediately arranged, first asked people to light a fire not far from the water's edge to facilitate the young princess to dry her clothes and the like, and then led people out of here. I didn't go far, and I couldn't see the water's edge.
Han Feng didn't distrust these people, the loyalty of the ten guards was beyond question, although Lin He, a young man, he hadn't been in contact for a long time, he was definitely a person who could be trusted. He did this just to give the princess a comfort, after all, it was the first time for a princess who had been detached since childhood to wash in such an open place, and there would always be such and such concerns.
In fact, it is exactly like this, even if you can't see Lin He and the others, the girl princess standing by the water is also hesitant, and she always feels as if there are countless eyes staring. But there is no way to go on like this, because of her, she has lost time, and she doesn't want to delay any longer.
In the end, the young princess gritted her teeth lightly and slowly walked into the lake, but did not dare to go too deep, only submerged to her waist......
The atmosphere on Lin He's side was a little awkward, and it always felt strange for a group of men to wait for a young woman to take a shower. Han Feng coughed dryly and continued to introduce some information to Lin He.
About half an hour passed, Lin He frowned slightly, and then asked, "Is it okay over there, it's been so long." According to his thinking, it takes so long to take a shower, and even if you add drying clothes, the time is a little redundant.
Han Feng didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that no one knows that women are like this, it takes some time to wash and dress, and you can't think about it according to a man's thinking. However, he also knew about Lin He's situation, and it was normal to think that he didn't know this.
"Ah......h
At this moment, a scream came, belonging to the young princess, full of horror.
Lin He stood up suddenly, leaving a deep pit under his feet, his body ejected out, and in a few breaths, he had already come to the water's edge.
The young princess screamed in horror as she stepped back to avoid something.
Lin He strode to the princess's side, hugged her and let her out of the water, and looked down with her eyes.
The next moment, Lin He couldn't cry or laugh a little, he thought it was some kind of monster and beast, but it turned out to be a water snake!
Lin He raised his foot and kicked the flying water snake, setting off a splash. Then he lowered the princess and said, "It's all right, it's just a little water snake, it's been solved." ”
Where did he think that the current princess was like a frightened bird, and when she saw that Lin He was going to put her in the water, she was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged Lin He, and her body trembled.
Lin He had no choice but to keep her away from the water, and when he saw that the princess was only wearing a profane dress and a large area of her skin was exposed, he grabbed her coat floating on the water and draped it over her, and then carried her to the case.
Han Feng was only one step behind Lin He, and he saw everything in his eyes. At this time, when he saw Lin He walking towards the princess with his arms, his eyes looked at Lin He's eyes.
Calm, clear.
"There is little brother Lao to take care of the princess"
Han Feng turned around, beckoned the guards who had not yet stood still, and left the same way.
The girl princess looks like this, they are obviously not suitable to stay here.
Lin He carried the princess to the fire in his arms, put her down, and made her sit on a flat stone.
The delicate face of the young princess was already covered with redness, and she lowered her head and grasped the wet coat, silent, which was extremely pitiful.
Lin He really didn't know how to take care of the girl, so he could only follow his thoughts, go to the bag on the golden camel and find his animal skin, hand it to the young princess and let her put it on her body, and take her coat, spread her arms outstretched, and bake it against the fire.
The young princess was tightly wrapped in animal skins, and her face turned even redder. She kept her head down, silently thinking about something in her heart. From time to time, he secretly glanced at Lin He, a young man who was seriously drying her clothes, and a different kind of emotion came to his heart.
Because there was no weft to cover her face, the girl's princess's peerless face had long been seen by Lin He, he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he had in his heart, if he had to say it, it was very good-looking, better than any woman in the village he had ever seen!
