The northwest is windy and sandy, and it is not comparable to the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains, and the grass is like grass. In addition, it is located on a plateau, the climate is dry, and the phenomenon of desertification is extremely serious.

At this moment, Lin Xiu, who was sitting outside the carriage as a coachman, was already covered with yellow sand, his lips were chapped, and he looked like a yellow clay man from a distance.

It's been a bit of a hard journey.

Wei Jinglong told him not to enter the city...... As a result, the road for several people to enter the city for supplies was completely cut off. Along the way, every day is a day of eating and sleeping, wind and rain.

But if that's the case, it's nothing, after all, they are cultivating in their bodies, and it's not that they can't stand this little suffering. But the real problem is that now the wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger, but the rain has long since passed.

They are already on the edge of the desert!

Although you don't have to enter the desert, if you want to get to the Liantian Tower, you have to walk along the edge of the desert for a short time.

In fact, this is a detour, which is not only difficult to walk, but also time-consuming, and it does not have to be this way under normal circumstances.

The reason why this is so is Wei Jinglong's meaning, and it is said that he can avoid a lot of trouble. In fact, Lin Xiu and they did not encounter any attacks in the past few days.

But apart from the enemy, they are not without danger, and the biggest threat they face now is the lack of water supplies.

The carriage has a limited load, and although there is a lot of water in the carriage, in addition to the normal drinking of the three people, there are also two black-haired bald tailed horses. After all, it was all up to these two horses to make the effort.

There is no problem with drinking this water for three or five days, but if you want to last longer, it will be a little difficult.

But the problem is that it has been four days since the last water supply was recharged.

The carriage seemed to have been roasted by the scorching sun, and the creaking sound was gone, leaving only the two black-haired horses constantly "snoring" and panting.

At that moment, the curtain was pulled open in the corner. A green onion white jade hand stretched out, holding a bulging sheepskin bladder in the hand.

Lin Xiu stretched out his hand to take the water bladder and said thank you, but he didn't drink it immediately, but pursed his chapped lips, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How many more water bags are there?"

Qianliu's faint voice came from inside the carriage: "Four!"

Lin Xiu frowned suddenly, and subconsciously said, "What? There are only four water bags left?", after saying this, he used his hands slightly hard, pulled the two black-haired horses that were moving forward, turned around, and lifted the curtain.

Wei Jinglong in the carriage was sleeping soundly, sleeping sweetly and comfortably, but seeing the other party's Erlang legs shaking from time to time, Lin Xiu suddenly felt angry.

He wanted to swallow and foam to moisten his somewhat fiery throat, but found that he had swallowed nothing for a long time.

He stabbed the opponent's thigh with the hilt of the sword in his hand, and Wei Jinglong sat up with a spirit, still looking sleepy, but he seemed to be a little flustered and said, "What's wrong?

Lin Xiu's face darkened, and he said hoarsely: "Okay, don't pretend." Let me ask you, you said that there is no shortage of water on this road, but what about water?"

Wei Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily: "That's it, how big of a deal should I do?"

Lin Xiu said again: "It's not a big deal, you don't know what it means that there is no water in the desert, right? Besides, when there is no water, you can stand it, these two horses can't stand it, and when the time comes, you can only leave by yourself."

Wei Jinglong defended: "Isn't this not in the desert yet?"

Lin Xiu just stared at each other and didn't speak, Wei Jinglong's momentum gradually weakened, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then jumped out of the carriage under Lin Xiu's puzzled gaze, stretched his waist, and said to Qianliu: "Girl, come down, live a comfortable life!"

Chiyanagi jumped out of the carriage, holding the remaining three water bladders in her arms.

Wei Jinglong took a water bladder from Qianliu's arms, walked to the two black-haired horses, fed all the water in the water bladder to the horses, and then patted the heads of the two horses and said softly: "The two of you have worked hard, so I won't drag you two down."

After saying this, in Lin Xiu's slightly strange gaze, he reached out and twisted the reins on the horse's body, and patted the horse's buttocks. The two black-haired bald-tailed horses each neighed and ran into the distance, and after a long time, they gradually became two black dots on the horizon.

Seeing that Lin Xiu was still sitting on the carriage and was a little sluggish, Wei Jinglong said angrily, "Are you satisfied now?"

Lin Xiu was slightly stunned, feeling infinitely aggrieved in his heart, and secretly said What does this matter to me, but he was speechless for a while, and could only stare at the other party speechlessly.

Wei Jinglong glanced at the two remaining water bladders in Qianliu's arms, and said leisurely: "Three water bladders, one for each person, impartial." ”

So saying, he lifted his feet and walked forward.

Qianliu raised her eyebrows, frowned and said, "Since you are impartial, why don't you carry your own water bladder yourself." ”

Wei Jinglong stumbled as if he had stepped on the air, then turned around, touched his nose curtly, but said like a scoundrel: "I'm a wounded!"

Qianliu didn't really can't carry this bag of water, and after giving him a blank look, he stopped talking, Lin Xiu jumped off the carriage, but remembered something, turned around and glanced at the carriage, and said, "This carriage is just thrown here?"

Wei Jinglong, who had already walked two feet, turned around and said with a look of contempt: "Don't throw you to pull it? When are you still thinking about these useless things? Look at your little bit of talent!"

After saying this, the wind of words suddenly changed, and he said to Lin Xiu: "But the pearl is very valuable that night, it's better to buckle it down, that fur carpet is weird and comfortable, or roll it up first, and lie down when it's okay."

Lin Xiu's face was speechless, and Qianliu's eyes were also full of weirdness, but the former groaned slightly, and still climbed into the carriage as he said, and when he came down again, he really carried the fur carpet behind him, and the valuable night pearl hung around his waist.

Qianliu opened her mouth slightly, as if she couldn't help it, and muttered angrily: "You can do whatever you want, you have no brains!"

Lin Xiu didn't speak, just clenched the water bladder in his hand and walked forward with his feet raised.

Qianliu looked at the two people who were drifting away, her eyes fell on the fur carpet behind Lin Xiu, she stomped her feet violently, and said angrily in a low voice: "Forget it about you to die of heat!", after speaking, he followed the two with a puffed face.

Walking is not as good as riding a horse-drawn carriage, and the consumption of physical energy is undoubtedly extremely huge. Especially with the scorching sun above my head, I can't go far, and I feel like I can't breathe.

After a day......

The three of them sat next to a sandstone, listless and out of breath.

Lin Xiu half-closed his eyes, not looking at the dazzling sunlight, and said weakly: "Which words in your mouth are true?"

He was obviously referring to the problem of water sources, Wei Jinglong had patted his chest and said that there was no shortage of water sources on this road, but they had not seen half a drop of water at all after walking these days.

Wei Jinglong smashed his mouth and said with a little anger: "When I go back, I will slaughter those little rabbit cubs who lied about the military situation, and I dare to lie to Lao Tzu!"

Lin Xiu was speechless in his heart, and after a while, he said softly, "You can go back alive!"

Just as the two were talking, Qianliu, who was sitting next to Uncle Long, reached out and took off the water bladder on her waist, opened it and put it to her mouth, but her brows were slightly wrinkled, she raised the water bladder higher, but her brows were also wrinkled tighter.

She took a deep breath, pursed her already chapped lips, quietly covered the water bladder, put it back on her waist, and then wiped a handful of wind and sand on her face, leaned against the sandstone behind her, and closed her eyes.

At this moment, she felt a slight movement of the breeze, and she opened her eyes with a feeling, and immediately saw the water bladder in front of her, which was still slightly bulging. She was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at Lin Xiu, who was holding out the water bladder through Wei Jinglong with her eyes closed, and a slight ripple rippled in her eyes.

But she said, "No, I have water!"

The water bladder in front of him still didn't move, and Wei Jinglong, who was sitting in the middle, looked at the scene in front of him with interest, his eyes constantly changing back and forth on the left and right.

"If you faint due to lack of water, no one will carry you", Lin Xiu said lightly, but his voice became even more hoarse.

Qianliu said coldly: "You don't need to carry it, it's a big deal to die here, isn't it right for you to die if I die?"

Hearing Qianliu's words, Wei Jinglong was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and said, "That's right!"

Lin Xiu said lightly: "Although you once wanted to kill me and my companions, but you didn't succeed, but it was me, although I couldn't help myself, after all, I killed your two sisters, if you want to talk about it, you also want me to die." ”

Referring to the two younger sisters who were killed, Qianliu's eyes were slightly red, her gaze became cold, she glared at Lin Xiu and said, "Since you know that I want you to die, will you give me water to drink?"

The corners of Lin Xiu's mouth pulled out a smile, but he tore his dry lips, blood overflowed, and he licked it with his tongue, and then he squinted his eyes and glanced at the dim sky, and muttered: "God also wanted me to die, but after all, I haven't died yet, do I always have to complain about God and think about how to seek revenge from God?"

"Besides, no matter what you want to do, you have to live and live before you have a chance to fulfill your own wishes, such as ...... Kill me"

Qianliu's brows trembled slightly, her eyes became a little complicated, she quietly looked at Lin Xiu, who was sitting on the sandstone, looking a little lonely, after a while, she took the water bladder, opened the lid and took a sip, and then covered it, but did not return it to Lin Xiu, but hung it on her waist, and said coldly at the same time:

"Since you have such a high level of consciousness, don't drink it at all."

Wei Jinglong, who was sitting between the two, was suddenly stunned when he saw this scene, he blinked his eyes twice, and the next moment, he actually laughed loudly.

After laughing twice, I don't know whether it was a wound or choking on the wind and sand, I let out a violent cough, and there was a crystal flash in the corner of my eye, and I even laughed out of tears.

Lin Xiu's eyes were still closed, and there was no expression on his face, he withdrew the hand that handed out the water bladder, and then put his hands behind his head, quietly leaning against Shayan, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised a very slight arc.
