The Mongolian army walked for dozens of miles to the west. According to the guides, Supu, Sansir, and the others, the desert was just behind them, and they would be very far away from the next oasis. So, Ochen ordered the army to rest and resupply here.
A smile flashed across Song Qingshu's face. Why did it feel like the service station on the highway in his previous life? But if you missed the service station on the highway, you wouldn't be able to go to the toilet or refuel. But in the Gobi Desert, if you didn't take care of your supplies and missed an oasis, you might pay with your life.
Gobi … Listening to those people shouting, Song Qingshu thought of the beautiful and gentle woman in the Jin Kingdom, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Achoo!"
Song QingShu suddenly felt his nose itch and sneezed a few times in a row. Could it be that someone was badmouthing him behind his back?
Ah Man, who was standing beside him, looked over and said softly, "In this season, the weather on the grassland changes greatly from day to night. Most of you Han people are not used to it, so it's easy for you to get sick. Put this herb near your nose, and your symptoms should be better."
As she spoke, she handed over a sachet. A few dried herbs could be vaguely seen from the sachet, making her wrist even more white and delicate.
Seeing that the corners of her eyes were red, she was obviously still worried about her mother's safety. Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh, "Little girl, you have a good heart. But I'm not Han, I'm Dong Ying."
Since he was going to put on a show, he had to go all the way. He didn't want to be seen through by his Mongolian companions.
"Dong Ying? I've never heard of it. Where is Dong Ying?" Although there was still worry on her face, the girl's longing for the outside world made Ah Man's beautiful eyes shine brightly.
"It's very far in the east. After reaching the seaside, we have to cross the sea for thousands of miles." Song Qingshu explained.
"So far?" Ah Man couldn't help but click her tongue. "I've never seen the sea in my life."
Song Qingshu answered subconsciously, "I'll take you to see the sea when there's a chance." The Golden Snake Camp was located in Shandong, and there were seas all around. The Divine Dragon Island, the Peach Blossom Island, and even the Chivalry Island were deep in the sea. She could see the sea at any place.
Ahmann blushed. "Thank you, but Sup will take me there. There's no need to trouble you."
"I was rude." Song Qingshu smiled apologetically. "If there's a chance, I'll entertain you. Let's go together."
Ah Man's eyes lit up. "Sure."
"Ah Man!" Su Pu rode over from nearby and stared at Song Qingshu with an unfriendly expression.
"Su Pu, this uncle said he'll take us to his place to play, and we'll be able to see the sea." Ahmann looked at her lover with excitement.
Su Pu snorted and pulled Aman to the side. "What's so good about the sea? It's not as good as the grasslands. My dad said that the Han can't be trusted. Who knows what kind of evil plans they have."
Feeling the hostility from the youth, Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. Of course, he wouldn't get angry because of this. The only thing he was curious about was that he seemed to be intimate with Li Wenxiu last time. What was the relationship between the three now?
Unfortunately, it wasn't convenient for him to ask. Otherwise, Su Pu would be sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person. That would be troublesome.
"He's not a Han, he's a Japanese." Ahmann looked back at Song Qingshu apologetically and hurriedly explained to her lover.
"Japanese? Never heard of him. Look at his shifty-eyed face, he's obviously not a good person. You should stay away from him in the future. These men are all lusting after your body because of your beauty. "Although Su Pu deliberately lowered his voice, how could he hide it from Song Qingshu's eyes and ears. Electronic Bookstore
Ahmann's face turned red. She said in a low voice, "Su Pu, you can't think so badly of others."
Su Pu snorted. "Have you forgotten about your mother? It's because she's too beautiful …" As he spoke, he noticed Ahmann's pale face and hurriedly apologized. "I didn't mean that. Your mother will definitely be safe."
Ahmann ignored him and walked to the other side with a straight face.
In the distance, Song QingShu glanced at the herbs in his hand. He was grateful to the little girl, but he didn't want to see her sad all the time, so he said to her using Secret Voice-sending, "Don't worry, your mother is fine. When you return to the tribe, she will welcome you at home."
Ahmann looked around in shock. "Who, who's talking?"
Su Pu, who had caught up, was confused. "I'm talking to you."
Ahmann shook her head. "It's not your voice."
At this time, Sansir suddenly said, "There's a rumor in the tribe that there are evil spirits in the desert. Could it be the voice of that evil spirit?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding Tieyan people all shivered. At this time, another disciple of Cherku, Camel, laughed and scolded, "Sansir is really a coward. There's still some distance from here to the desert. Even if there are evil spirits, they won't run so far."
Both Sansir and Camel were Cherku's apprentices. Camel was as strong as Camel, so people called him so, and few people even remembered his real name. Sansir was shorter in stature, and was more agile.
Hearing his mockery, Sansir's face turned red. "Nonsense, when have I ever been afraid!" Which young man in the tribe didn't like Ahmann? How could they let it go after losing face in front of their sweetheart? Soon, they started fighting with Camel.
Only Ahmann clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed in her heart. That voice was not scary at all. It was definitely not a demon. Could it be that Allah took pity on us and specially told me about my mother?
Thinking of this, she became spirited. She found a secluded place and prayed very sincerely. Unfortunately, the voice never appeared again.
She quietly knelt on the grass, her face full of piety and holiness like a goddess from heaven. Even the Mongolian soldiers around her, who were used to burning, killing, and looting, could not bring themselves to blaspheme her.
Song Qingshu glanced in the direction of Elder Wu Sun and saw that he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. Obviously, he was concentrating on forcing the poison out of his body. Song Qingshu secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, he was poisoned. Otherwise, if he tried to do something bad to Ahmann along the way, it would be difficult for Song Qingshu to deal with him in public.
After replenishing their supplies here, Wu Chen and Bor called for their respective tribes to set off, and the group continued westward.
The further west they went, the more desolate it became. Before, they could see many short bushes, but now they could only see occasional patches of green. Most of the bushes were dried up and half-buried in the desert. Everywhere they looked, there was only yellow sand.
After walking for more than a hundred miles, they finally reached the next oasis. The sky was already dark, so Wu Chen and Bor ordered the main army to set up camp here and rest for the night.
The Mongolians were preparing to set up tents, but they were stopped by Su Pu. It turned out that the desert here would be cold at night, and sometimes there would be sandstorms. Ordinary tents would not be able to withstand it.
So he, Sansir, and Camel taught the soldiers to dig sand pits, and then lay in the pits with blankets wrapped around them. A dozen sand pits formed a circle, and a big fire was lit in the middle. This way, they could keep out the cold and not be afraid of the sandstorms.
The Mongolians fought in the north and south, so they were used to this. After the order was passed down, the soldiers quickly dug the sand pits and lit a bonfire to share the dry food.
After teaching the Mongolian soldiers how to dig the pits, Su Pu planned to go back to talk to Ahmann. He accidentally angered her during the day, and he did not know if she had calmed down by now.
