The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 442 Advance into the Desert
The morning sun in the desert greeted a group of camel bells rising eastward. This group was not large in number. A dozen people walked on the sand dunes with fifteen camels. They were packed tightly, but from the costumes Look, at least half of them are women.

Maimaiti followed behind a woman wearing a goose-yellow veil, pouted with displeasure on her face, but this woman was good-looking, but she didn't have the kind of deep facial features unique to the Western Regions, but had a calm atmosphere The beauty, the free and easy feeling of the atmosphere.

It was the warmth that finally showed its true nature. On the other side was Gu Yu in disguise, and after that came Qiu Shangping and Shao Zuo.

"You... are you the one pretending to be Bai Muyu's mother... I didn't expect it to be you all along, and I was played around by you!"

Miss Maimaiti is not sad now, but after knowing the truth, she was so angry that she shed two crocodile tears, but she was asked with warm and suspicious eyes if she was still sad because she was rejected by Bai Muyu.

The eldest lady wiped tears, and roared with red eyes, "Don't mention it, I was fooled by myself. I should have thought that such a young man with red lips and white teeth must be a woman disguised as a man. You are a big liar."

Wen Nuan smiled, a bit rascal, "I'm not a liar, didn't I just start working with you, I showed my sincerity, my identity and gender, this is not honest enough, what do you want to call me?"

"I don't care if you are a man or a woman. I am willing to come to this desert, as long as the purpose of your trip is not to kidnap me and sell it. And there is one thing you can't cheat, and you can tell by your face. Sister, I am much more feminine than you, so I am still sister, and you will call me sister from now on!"

When it comes to business, Nuannuan will naturally not joke with Maimaiti, "This time, I am indeed going to save my friend, sister Maimaiti, I thank you for your help, and I will give you that piece of suet white jade that you fancy after you go back. How about offering it with your own hands?"

Sitting on the back of a camel, Maimaiti, who was walking forward against the wind and sand, curled his lips in disdain, "You think I'm really a fan of money, I just do it for fun, I haven't fought sand bandits yet, since I know you, You want to save people again, if you help me, I will help you, I don’t want your stuff.”

Speaking of this, Maimaiti suddenly asked loudly, "Now I also know that you are a woman, and you have entered the desert with you, so you can always tell me your names and identities. I don't want to be confused. And what happened to that man and woman?"

Nuannuan glanced at Gu Yu, who was dressed in women's clothing, and smiled slightly, "My name is Nuannuan, a real woman, and indeed Bai Muyu's boss. This is my brother-in-law, boss Qiu Shangpingqiu, and my partner. The other two are men, they are our guards, and they dress up as women for convenience, besides, I really like the clothes of our Western Region women, they are cool and not cumbersome, but also very beautiful."

Hearing Nuan Nuan's compliments on the women's outfits in the Western Regions, Mai Mai Ti was quite happy, and she no longer pursued the past. The group of people who changed from male to female had already made her a little numb and used to it. The trousers said, "I also think our clothes look good, and they are much more comfortable than your hinterland women's clothes."

The scenery in the desert is very boring. When I first came in, I was really shocked by the majestic and yellow sand scene, but after watching it for a while, I didn’t feel much. It is really yellow sand everywhere without exception. Too much can be annoying.

Coupled with the sun exposure and the continuous sound of camel bells, it is a bit drowsy and the heat is unbearable!
"How long will it take us to walk in like this to reach the oasis?"

Maimaiti sat leisurely on the camel and pointed to the camel at the front, which was led by a man, and said, "I asked the leader before. It will take at least two to two and a half days to reach an oasis in the desert, and even if everything goes well on the road, you must know that the desert is like a child, and it is easy to change faces."

She doesn't need to say this, Wen Nuan also knows how terrifying the quiet and sad sand dunes under her feet are. Quicksand, deep holes and unpredictable sandstorms are all killers wandering in the desert, devouring life.

In this way, we can better know that if Nuan Nuan happened to be missed by this group of bandits and found King Xian's finger pull, they probably wouldn't be able to wait for rescue from any party, until after a long time, someone finally found King Xian There was an accident in the convoy transporting the grain. At that time, [-]% of the grain had already been digested and pulled out. It is very possible that King Xian only had a skeleton left!
Seeing that Nuan Nuan didn't continue to speak, Maimaiti turned her head curiously, put half of her body on the camel beside her, and blew her face close to Nuan Nuan's face, "Hey, I'm worried, now I know I'm afraid But it’s too late, we won’t save people unless you tell us to stop!”

"How is that possible? I'm definitely going to save people. I'm thinking about other things. Don't guess!"

Nuan Nuan didn't think about anything else, but was worried about Shen Pingxi's side. There must be something wrong with the court, otherwise it wouldn't be Xian Wang personally escorting grain and grass to such a border area. Although the emperor didn't pay attention to him, he even deliberately She is putting aside the existence of the idle king.

But after all, it was the prince of the first dynasty, and the reason why he was thrown here to escort the grain and grass was probably because the emperor knew that the only one left, who would definitely not harm Shen Pingxi and the others, was Xian Wang.

Although Qiu Shangping's news was well-informed, he did not have an official position after all, and some information that was too top-secret could not be inquired at all. It seemed that things could only be inquired after seeing King Xian.

The temperature in the desert is very high, and there is no shelter at all. Even if there are camels to travel, they can only travel between morning and noon. At other times, they must rest to conserve energy and ensure the safety of the camels.

This speed made the impatient Qiu Shangping anxious. Under the leadership of the team leader, everyone chose a tall sand dune that was shady and leeward, and started to build a tent for the night in the middle of the circle surrounded by camels.

There are no landmarks at all, and you can only rely on the old camel to know the way, plus the experience of the team leader, you must not go forward at night, it is easy to get lost in the desert, and you are more likely to encounter hunters in the desert.

Sand Wolf!

They act in groups and are ferocious herd carnivores. This is their main battlefield. If people are not afraid of them, but camels are afraid, they will die without camels.

Wen Nuan watched as the team leader used an iron stick to plunge into the sand dune at the basic desert plant gathering place near their camp, and then began to dig down, and soon dug out a small pit that had not yet dried up and had a turbid water source. The camel came forward to drink water.

"There is such a place in this desert?"

Maimaiti explained without any surprise, "Now we are not far away, which is regarded as a marginal area. After passing here, there are fewer and fewer plants, and there is no such water source covered by sand. How much can a camel drink? How much to drink."
