The handwriting on the silk was awkward, even worse than the handwriting of a Dahua child. Presumably, it was written by Lu Dongzan. He returned the golden saber and wrote this sentence. What did he mean by that? Everything is possible?! Why did these words sound familiar, who did Lu Dongzan want to advertise for?
No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure it out, so he simply ignored him. Stuffing the letter with the golden blade into his bosom, he said to Hu Bugui with a smile, "This Lu Dongzan's Chinese language is passable, but his writing is even worse than mine. What a pity, what a pity! "
"It is a pity," Hu Bugui said with a smile, "but speaking of Turks writing Chinese characters, I think that Miss Yueya should be an expert. This woman is not only beautiful, she is also well-versed in Chinese culture, her intelligence and demeanor are superior. Lu Dongzan would rather let us go, in order to ensure her safety. This woman must be a top character! "
Lin Wanrong nodded, "Every race will have outstanding people, this is not rare. The key is to see where these outstanding people use their intelligence and wisdom. Like Yujia who thinks of robbing others to improve the lives of his people, the result will only be the opposite of what he wants. "
Hu Bugui nodded in deep thought, agreeing with Lin Wanrong's words.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The sandstorm was getting stronger and stronger. Under the night sky, the desert was as clear as snow, and even the night sky was a faint white. On the silver sand, there was a faint line of horse hooves, slowly extending into the depths of the desert.
The sandstorm was so strong that it was difficult to open one's eyes. The two followed the shallow hoof prints in the desert for a while. Half an hour later. They saw the traces of a large group of people.
Gao Qiu was at the back of the group, looking back from time to time. Seeing the two figures. He immediately waved his hand excitedly, "Brother Lin. Old Hu. We're here! "
Seeing Lin Wanrong and Hu Bugui return safely. The five thousand soldiers cheered excitedly. That cheerful atmosphere immediately covered up the sandstorm in the desert.
The Sea of Death, Lop Nor, started from the Qilian Mountains, and extended northward from Dunhuang in Gansu Province until it reached Gaochang and the foot of Tianshan. To the north was the remnant of Tianshan Mountain, to the south was the northern foothills of Altun Mountain and the northeast corner of the Kuncang Mountain Range, and to the east was Dunhuang. West Lian Taklimakan Desert. The Sea of Death was filled with pyramid-shaped sand dunes. Standing in the middle of the plain, it could reach a height of several hundred zhang. The desert wind would blow up these sand walls, raising them several times in height, like a collapsing mountain. It was extremely terrifying.
Lop Nor was dry all year round, it almost never rained. Under such conditions, very few animals and plants could survive, hence the name "Sea of Death".
Ever since Yiwu entered Lop Nor, it was already the latter half of the Dead Sea's journey. However, after traveling for three days in a row in the vast desert, there was still sand flying everywhere as far as the eye could see. The sun, moon, and stars could not be seen, and there was not even a trace of green. If it were not for the fact that Hu Bugui, who was leading the group, was constantly pointing in the right direction with his compass, Lin Wanrong would have suspected that he had gone the wrong way.
"Damn, it really is the Sea of Death." Scorching heat came from the yellow sand. Let every soldier sweat profusely. Many people took off their shirts and went on the journey bare-chested. Old Gao wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead, opened his water sack and licked it. Then, he carefully hung the water sack that was as precious as his life on his waist. He stuck out his tongue and panted, "After walking for a few days and nights, besides yellow sand, there is only yellow sand. Not even rabbits defecate, not even a single bird feather can be seen. How can this road be walked by a human?!"
Hu Bugui put the compass into his bag and said with a smile, "Brother Gao, it's your first time in the desert, it's not strange for you to have this feeling. Not to mention you, I, Old Hu, have come and gone in the desert for no less than ten thousand li over the years. I thought I had long seen through the face of the desert. But after entering Luo Bu Lake, I realized that the road ahead was really smooth! After entering Lop Nor, let alone bird feathers, long legs, and long thorns, I actually did not see anything. This Sea of Death really lives up to its reputation. "
After saying a few words, his mouth felt dry, and he also licked the edge of the water sack like Old Gao did. After entering the desert. Lin Wanrong issued a strict order that the army only had two meals a day, and each meal was limited to a small portion of dry rations. Drinking water was also strictly restricted. Unless it was the right time and time, no one was allowed to drink water. A similar method was used to replenish the provisions for the war horses.
The importance of water and food was self-evident when marching in the desert. The five thousand officers and soldiers were disciplined and carried out this order without reservation. After three days, not a single person disobeyed.
Now that it was time to replenish supplies, the large group stopped. Hu Bugui looked around, but did not see the shadow of Lin Wanrong. Chief Gao pulled him back, pointing to the only carriage in the group. "Don't look for it. It's there!! "
"Miss Yu Jia. How is my brother?! "Looking at Li Wuling's pale face, Lin Wanrong's brows were tightly knitted together. His eyes flashed with deep worry. They had been in the desert for three days, and it was getting more and more difficult to replenish their supplies. Li Wuling's condition had not significantly improved.
The Turkic girl looked at Li Wuling's eyelids. She felt his pulse again before coldly saying, "Why should I tell you?"
After several days of rapid marching, due to lack of water, her red lips were slightly dry. Although her face was somewhat pale, her skin was still smooth and moist, untainted by even a speck of dust. This caused Lin Wanrong to sigh in amazement. He wondered if this girl had grown up soaking in milk.
You don't want to tell me? Lin Wanrong laughed heartily. He took out a golden dagger from his bosom, waved it in front of her, and then quickly hid it in his bosom.
Yu Jia was shocked, and then she leaped over in joy, "My golden dagger?! Old man Wo, quickly return it to me!! "
The Turkic girl leaped over, burrowing into his chest, her hands tugging at his clothes.
Had this girl gone crazy?! To think that she would do something like taking off a man's clothes, this Turkic girl was truly valiant. Lin Wanrong paled in fright, hurriedly clutching at his clothes, angrily saying, "You, what are you doing? It's broad daylight right now. A scholar can be swindled, but not humiliated! "
Yu Jia was both angry and embarrassed, and simply grabbed his clothes, pulling with all her might, "You, you return my golden dagger!"
"Ding!" A crisp sound rang out. Under her forceful tugging, Lin Wanrong's chest loosened. She didn't know what it was, but it landed on the floor of the carriage and rolled far away.
"My hidden weapon!" Lin Wanrong shouted, and wanted to snatch it. The object landed at Yueya 'er's feet, and Yu Jia's hands were quick, and she grabbed it in her hands. Looking at it, it was actually a small copper coin. She glanced at it, and was stunned.
Lin Wanrong snatched it from her hands, and angrily said, "You dare to snatch money from a miser? Do you want to die? Quickly return the money to me!! "
Yueya 'er gritted her teeth, and held the copper coin tightly in her hands, hugging it with both hands, not willing to let go no matter what.
This Yu Jia was really stubborn! Lin Wanrong's hands, feet, and other limbs were all engaged in the struggle at the same time, and the sweat on his forehead dripped down. He used all his strength, but still couldn't pry open her palms. The two fought and stared at each other angrily. They were so close that they could feel each other's hurried breathing.
When they saw each other's faces clearly, the two couldn't help but freeze at the same time, and their hands slowed down.
Yu Jia's beautiful lips curled up stubbornly, and crystal clear tears swirled in her eyes. Lin Wanrong was annoyed, and he let go, "Alright, alright. I'll give it to you! Damn it, today is my bad luck, and I lost a copper coin for no reason. I will be heartbroken for a few years! "
"Pfft." Yu Jia covered her mouth and laughed, and the copper coin was next to her mouth. Then, she seemed to feel that the situation wasn't right, and her face turned cold again.
I don't believe I can't control you! Lin Wanrong wiped the sweat off her hands and took out the golden saber from her bosom. She waved it and said, "Little girl, do you still want this?!"
Yu Jia panicked, "You, give the knife back to me!"
"Give it back to you?! It's not impossible! " Lin Wanrong giggled and said, "When my brother wakes up, this golden saber will be yours. You decide what to do with it."
Seeing the bandit's smug smile, Yu Jia gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "Despicable! I knew you would bring up such a shameless condition! "
"I've carried the reputation of being despicable and shameless for many years. I don't mind doing it one or two more times." Lin Wanrong chuckled. "Get to the point. Just say it. Do you agree or not?!"
How could I not agree?! This bandit was determined to eat me! Yu Jia was a little annoyed, but also a little helpless. After a long silence, she finally said, "When this patient wakes up, give the knife back to me. Give me back the golden saber — will you keep your word?! "
"If I don't keep my promise, I will be punished to be ridden by my wife for the rest of my life!" Lin Wanrong raised his right hand and solemnly swore.
Shameless bandit! Yu Jia's face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, in three days, I will make you return the knife."
"Why should I?!" Lin Wanrong snorted and retorted in a straightforward manner.
Crescent Moon looked at him angrily, "You are asking me … Don't you have a brain?"
Lin Wanrong jumped up and almost punched a hole in the wall of the carriage. "You, you mean, Little Li will wake up in three days?! Miss Yu Jia, can you say it again? I didn't hear it clearly! "
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Yu Jia turned her head, snorted, and ignored him.
Three days! Little Li will wake up in three days! Looking at Li Wuling's pale face, listening to his slow breathing, Lin Wanrong could not control his excitement, and his throat was dry. He shakily took out the water bag from his waist and shook it with his hand. The water bag was empty, and only the bottom was left.
He raised the water bag to his mouth and was about to take a few breaths. But he saw Yu Jia staring at him strangely, her eyes shining. Seeing that the Turkic girl's lips were slightly chapped, Lin Wanrong guessed that it had been two days since water had entered her mouth. Chuckling, she passed the water sack over. "Little sister, you saved my brother, so this water is to thank you. Drink it!"
Yu Jia's pretty face became hot, and she hurriedly pushed the water bag back, "I don't want your things, they are dirty."
Before entering the desert, everyone replenished their water, and Yu Jia was no exception. Lin Wanrong personally filled the water bag for her. He laughed and said, "Look at you, you have not drunk water for two days. Although the water in the desert is as expensive as gold, you should drink it. Your life is more important. "
"It is none of your business!" Yu Jia shook her head in disdain and waved her small hand in front of his face.
The small hand was round and smooth, and Lin Wanrong was fascinated by it. Suddenly, he remembered something, and his face changed. He stood up and shouted, "You, you washed your hands with water!"
"So what?" Yu Jia said coldly, "Not only did I wash my hands, I also washed my face!"
"You, you …" Lin Wanrong was so angry that his face turned purple. In this desert, where a drop of water was as precious as gold, this woman was using life-saving water to wash her hands and face. Was there any justice? Was there any law?
Seeing the bandit trembling in anger, Yu Jia smiled and said, "It is a woman's nature to love beauty. I used my own water bag to wash my hands and face. Even if I die in the desert, it is my own business, and it has nothing to do with anyone! Why do I need you to care? "
"I don't believe you! Unreasonable woman! "With a crash sound, he lifted the curtain and jumped off the carriage. The roving bandits' indignant cursing directly entered his ears. Yu Jia's eyebrows were lowered, and she was silent. No one knew what she was thinking.
In the silence, the curtain fluttered again, and the bandit came in with a dark face. He raised his empty water bag and said fiercely, "Open your mouth …"
"Why?!" Yu Jia shook her head stubbornly.
In his anger, Lin Wanrong grabbed her neck, and Yu Jia was forced to open her mouth, "I don't care if you die or not, but my brother cannot die! You have to hold on for three days. Drink … "
The few mouthfuls of water left in the water bag slowly flowed into Yu Jia's mouth. She had not drunk water for several days, and the feeling of spring water in her mouth was incomparably sweet. The young girl choked and coughed, and tears suddenly fell.
"What is there to cry about!" Looking at the empty water bag, Lin Wanrong let go of Yu Jia and angrily snorted, "I have never seen such a disobedient woman! Losing money and losing water … Pan Gu opening the sky, this is the first time I have ever done something like this! "
Too lazy to look at the tears of the young girl, he turned around and left. The empty water bag swayed on his waist, and from afar, it looked like a floating gourd.
Yu Jia looked at his back, and as she cried, she suddenly giggled, covered her face, and whispered, "What a silly person!"
Her lips curled into a smile, and her light blue eyes rippled. She smiled and smiled, but then she cried.
