What does it mean if you have water but don’t dare to drink it? Is there any monster in the water?
Seeing my puzzled look, Yu Wenying only smiled, threw the blood-stained veil to the ground, and then turned to greet everyone: "Everyone prepare it on the spot and take out all the weapons."
Our camel also slowly knelt down on the ground. I jumped off the camel's back with Miaoyan in my arms. The two of them walked forward, and helped their legs and feet to get weak. Nangong Lizhu, who couldn't stand up at all, put one hand on my shoulder and said with lingering fear: "Why are there these things here?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe these wild wolves think so when they see us. They are the masters who live here."
Nangong Lizhu frowned, obviously not having the patience to practice Zen with me, and said, "We have been walking for so long before, and we have never seen a wolf before."
Yu Wenying, who was standing by, untied a huge bag from the camel's back, and while disassembling the things inside, he said, "It was the emperor's emperor's lord before, and there were many people. Even the wolves had to weigh the strength of both sides and dared not step forward easily. But now our number is small, and it is crazy to be hungry again, so he took the risk. I just said that these beasts are actually smart."
Nangong Lizhu said in fear: "Is there any wolf ahead?"
"Yes," Yu Wenying said: "The closer you are to the water source, the more you are."
"Then, what should we do?"
At this time, Yu Wenying came over and I saw three scimitars in his hand, and raised his hand to us: "Hold it."
Nangong Lizhu's eyes widened: "What are we doing?"
“…”
I silently reached out to take it, and Miaoyan also took a handful of it when she saw me like this.
I said to Nangong Lizhu: "We want to learn to protect ourselves like them."
Nangong Lizhu's face was pale: "But, aren't you guards? Aren't you kung fu?"
Yu Wenying shook her head and said, "They are indeed guards and can do their best. They should protect us, but in such a place, the most reliable one is yourself."
Hearing me say this, she probably remembered the water and food, thought for a while, gritted her teeth and took a knife.
Miaoyan waved her scimitar twice, then said to me with a bitter face: "Mom, it's so heavy!"
I said, "Just just take it and protect yourself, but don't worry, with Mom here, Mom won't let those things hurt you."
"Um!"
Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu were very excited. In fact, I was a little nervous and said that it was up to me, but I also doubt how reliable I could be, especially in such an environment, the main thing was that Yu Wenying could only rely on Yu Wenying, and I hope to meet with Pei Yuanhao, Qinghan and the others earlier.
I turned my head and saw Yu Wenying distributing the weapons and the servants. Everyone was ready. He took out something from his arms.
It's a compass.
I have never seen him take out this thing before, but when he got here, he took it out. It seems that we are really close to that place.
He looked down for a while, then pointed ahead: "Go, go there."
Everyone got on camels, camels, and those walking below were holding out-shelf swords, and everyone walked in the direction Yu Wenying pointed.
Along the way, we encountered two more attacks from wild wolves. Once, a lone wolf took a risk and was quickly killed by us. But the third time we came was a pack of five or six wolves. We fought with us for a long time and bit a guard. Fortunately, it did not cause much damage. After Yu Wenying killed all the wild wolves, she looked back at the front with blood on her face.
He seemed a little anxious that time had passed.
After everyone bandaged the wounded guard, he immediately greeted everyone: "Hurry up and wait there before resting!"
Everyone also felt that he seemed to be in a dark state of anxiety, so they endured their hunger and fatigue and continued to move forward. The sun slowly sinks to the ground, and soon it has connected to the distant horizon.
Immediately, someone shouted: "Mr. Yuwen, look!"
Everyone looked up and looked forward, and saw some rugged shadows faintly appearing in the fiery sunset in the distance.
We have been walking in this large Gobi Desert for several days. We can only see some low soil slopes and sandstone along the way, but we have never seen anything so high on the desert. We can see a large area of land, and I don’t know what it is. The steam on the ground steam makes the shadows slightly twist, as if the fairies are dancing. It makes people feel creepy from afar.
Miaoyan subconsciously held the knife in his hand tightly.
"Mom, what are those?"
"My mother doesn't know," my breathing tense: "I'll wait until I get closer and then take a look."
Unlike everyone's surprise, when Yu Wenying saw those things, a complex expression appeared on her face. If she carefully identified it, she would notice a faint sadness.
He stopped and looked for a while, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse.
He said, "Go, that's it!"
When everyone heard him say this, they immediately cheered up and walked forward.
The sun is sinking to the ground at a faster pace than our pace, and the rugged shadows have become blurred in sight, as if they have disappeared again.
After looking closely, it seems that it is still there, but it is much shorter than the one just now.
What's going on? Are those things still alive, or - a mirage?
People around him looked at the situation ahead and started to whisper. Nangong Lizhu said, "Why do I think I can't see that thing? Can you still see it?"
Miaoyan immediately said, "I can't see it, it seems that it is going to disappear!"
I became more and more uneasy. I was about to ask Yu Wenying what was going on, but I saw a little anxious on his face, which had always been calm and calm. I frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk first, get there before the sun sets! Hurry!"
After saying that, he walked forward with the reins of the camel.
Why do you have to go past before the sun sets?
We were all confused, but no one asked any more questions, but walked forward with all their might. The camels seemed to have sensed something. They were still trotting before, but at this time they accelerated a lot of speed and simply ran forward to Ali. The people who were walking began to strode to keep up.
The smoke and dust rose behind us, and everyone seemed to be chasing the sun's sun, chasing the sun's sinking steps. However, the sun still ignored our earnest pleas, and the huge fireball slowly sank into the ground, leaving almost the last little light.
At this time, Yu Wenying suddenly took a few steps forward and rushed forward like a swallow!
He is so anxious?
The rest of the people also ran forward with all their might, and even the camels began to run hard. I held the reins tightly and held Miaoyan tightly in my arms to prevent her from falling. Everyone ran all the way, and finally, at the moment when the sun set on the ground, I saw Yu Wenying's figure falling in front, standing there firmly.
In the blood-red light, his body seemed to be stained with blood.
For some reason, when I saw this scene, the image of a warrior wearing armor and blood suddenly appeared in my mind, as if - it seemed like the armor and the crimson clothes inside that I saw at Dad Hu’s house in Fengxiang City gave people this feeling!
My heart is getting more and more beat faster and harder.
Finally, the camel ran to him and stopped.
The person holding the reins in front of me barely asked the camel to squat down, and helped me and Miaoyan fall to the ground, then loosened the reins, and all our camels and horses ran forward. I also held Miaoyan's hand in the smoke and dust and walked forward, all behind Yu Wenying.
The last bit of afterglow in the world illuminates a large area ahead of us-
At this moment, everyone stood there motionless, and when I saw clearly the situation ahead, I also stood still.
Miaoyan happily grabbed my hand and shook it hard and said, "Mom, look, it's water, it's water!"
It's water indeed.
What we are in front of us is no longer the desolate and grass next door, nor is it the red sandstone, but the endless and almost invisible lake?!
At this moment, I was completely stunned.
However, there was really a lake in front of us, shining with red ripples. As soon as we approached, we felt a gust of cold water vapor blowing from the lake by the wind, and suddenly it trembled.
How is that possible?
How could such a large lake appear on such a Gobi desert?
I looked around and looked forward, at least several miles in a radius.
But what about the rugged shadows we just saw? Why did all disappear? This calm lake only has a little ripples when the wind blows.
Are all we see mirages?
Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu all cheered happily, and together with the servants, they all rushed forward in ecstasy. Some of them simply stepped into the water and blew up huge splashes of water. The wind blew, blowing the fishy water droplets and pouring them on my face.
I trembled slightly, turned to look at Yu Wenying, but saw that he was still standing there without saying a word.
I walked over slowly and said softly: "Mr. Yuwen."
“…”
After a while, he seemed to suddenly hear my voice, and turned around and looked at me: "Ah?"
I looked forward again: "Is this the place where you want to pay tribute?"
“…”
