The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 164 Crossing the Great Desert

When they reached the pass, Chu Ying separated from Ji Qiu and the others, and headed in another direction. Chu Ying was going to a more dangerous place. Although she didn't know where she was going, Ji Qiu said that she was heading north. If she heard the sound of fighting, it should be This is the battlefield.

However, the further north the weather became, the drier it became. Chu Ying, who hadn't had a drop of water for 2 days, had chapped lips, a headache, and a little dizziness. She checked the sandy ground, and after confirming that there were no dangerous animals around, she covered the tent with a tree. On the dry shrubs, dig out some of the sand under the trees, and use wood to push away the hot sand on the surface.

Lying slowly on the ground, feeling the coolness, she took out the water bag and moistened her lips a little. There was only a quarter of the water bag left. Chu Ying endured the thirst for water in her heart and tied the water bag back. waist.

Before seeing the water source, Chu Ying didn't plan to drink up the life-saving water, which was also her courage to persevere.

Chu Ying covered her body with the sand next to her, only showing her face, and fell asleep in a daze.Open your eyes and see the sky full of stars.

At this moment Chu Ying was a little confused, she didn't know if she had really time-traveled, or if it was just a dream, the temperature at night was not that high, Chu Ying moved her numb hands and feet, and slowly crawled out of the sandpit.

If you walk on a hot day, you will lose more water. Chu Ying woke up the camel on one side, straddled the camel's neck, and yelled at the camel to get up.The camel was exchanged for a horse and three gold leaves by himself.

People who are on the verge of death will know more clearly what they want. Fame, wealth and money are insignificant and terrifying in front of life, so Chu Ying only wants food and clothing, not extravagance.

Walking all the way in the general direction of the north, looking at the pancakes in the backpack that were drying up to slag, Chu Ying broke some and put them in her mouth as she walked, and she didn't swallow them in big gulps because of her hungry stomach.

Her body was already dehydrated, and digesting food would consume part of the water, so Chu Ying didn't want to drink poison to quench her thirst.

On the fourth day, Chu Ying finally saw a small oasis in front of her. After looking at it from a higher place on a higher sand dune, and confirming that it was not a mirage, Chu Ying took a big gulp of water, but did not swallow it all at once. Moisten the mouth, swallow slowly.

No matter how hungry or thirsty Chu Ying was, she never thought of hitting a camel, because camels sense water sources better than humans, and without the help of camels, Chu Ying estimated that the previous journey would have taken 10 days relying on her legs alone.

But before reaching the oasis, Chu Ying heard loud scolding and begging for mercy.

Chu Ying bypassed the sight of those people on the oasis and walked behind them.

Because they were reprimanding a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, they didn't notice Chu Ying who walked around from behind.

Chu Ying didn't quite understand what they said, but looking at their outfits, they didn't look like soldiers, they were probably horse thieves robbing everywhere.

When Chu Ying and Ji Qiu were separated, they were told many times to be careful of the horse thieves they might encounter along the way. Chu Ying was penniless, and the most valuable thing was the camel. Moreover, the boy looked three-dimensional with three-dimensional features, and his eyes were deep. Some exotic customs should not be Han Chinese, so it's better not to get involved for no reason.

Chu Ying slowed down and walked towards the creek formed by the spring, thinking about getting water and leaving immediately, her eyes were fixed on the five big men and the child in front of her, and she slowly bent down without making a sound.

But the boy seemed to have found himself, and while continuing to beg for mercy, he said to Chu Ying in Chinese: "Help me, please help me."

This young man can also speak Chinese, Chu Ying felt that this young man was still of some use value.In case you meet a foreigner, you can use him as an interpreter.

But when Chu Ying turned around to put the water bag away, the young man behind him shouted, "You can't leave unless you save me." Chu Ying originally planned to save the young man, but when he said this, Chu Ying became interested .

Turning around and leaning against the tree trunk, looking at the young man who was pushed and shoved by everyone, the young man stared at him with bright eyes on his stubborn little face.

The big man pushed the boy to the ground, yelling something.The originally meek boy grabbed the dirt on the ground and threw it at the big man.

The people who were just joking pulled up the thick hemp ropes on the boy's hands and feet, and straightened the boy's hands and feet.When Chu Ying saw that the thick and powerful fist was about to hit the young man, Chu Ying pulled out the arrow in her quiver, raised her bow and shot it quickly.

The leader saw that the bone finger in his hand was broken in response, and was a little startled. In a blink of an eye, he saw a handsome young man standing behind him holding a bow. He looked like a Han Chinese in his attire. .

The leader pulled up the young man on the ground, muttered something, and pushed him to tell him the story.

"He said. If you die, you will hand over the camel and all your belongings. You can also save your dog's life. The strong men should run away quickly, you can't beat them." Seeing the blood on the corner of the boy's mouth, he rose to the sky chin, Chu Ying was very curious, is this really what the boss asked him to relay?It seemed that what he said didn't match his expression.

"Tell them that I am willing to exchange gold for you. Although I don't understand your language, I don't think what you just said is true."

Chu Ying didn't believe that the boss would skip the interrogation and directly ask her to hand in the things. This was against the rules of the world, and the boss said about two short sentences, but the boy said two big sentences.

The young man was stunned for a while, and looked carefully at Chu Ying, who had chapped lips, greasy hair, and a thin face like a mummy crawling out of the sand. Her archery skills were so precise just now, it shouldn't be a problem to take down these people. .

Chu Ying watched the young man quarreling fiercely with them, feeling like they were negotiating terms, "Aren't they willing to sell you?" The young man looked like a slave servant and was tied up with a thick hemp rope. In such troubled times, it should be worthless.

Chu Ying wanted to go up and have a good talk, but the person next to her held a knife across her neck, "Boy, did you have a good talk?"

"Run away, they don't just want money, they want everything, go away." Chu Ying saw the young man desperately holding other people who were rushing towards him, dodging the big knife that was coming towards him.

Although Chu Ying evaded everywhere, the five of them were slashing with swords and knives, as if they would not give up until they took their lives. Chu Ying took out the big knife at her waist, resisted the knife array that was cutting towards her, and took the opportunity to kill the young man. The hemp rope on the hands and feet was cut off.

Finding a gap in the fight, he grabbed the boy and ran towards the camel, retreating while resisting.

Seeing that the young man had climbed onto the camel, he hooked the reins of the camel with one foot, took arrows and shot at the five people who were running.When the camel got up, the Chu Ying people swung onto the camel's back in mid-air.

"Tell them not to chase anymore, or the arrow will show no mercy." The leader just wanted to catch up, but saw that the arrow shot by Chu Ying was extremely fast and powerful, which caught people off guard. Fortunately, the arrow just passed by. It's the forehead, I'm afraid I haven't had a chance to speak for a long time.

Just now, the young man had already learned his arrow skills. Looking at the two people who were walking away, the leader stopped the crowd and touched the blood that was slightly oozing from his cheek. If he hadn't wanted to let him go, the arrow would have shot straight into the forehead. up.

Chu Ying looked at the few people who did not catch up, took a long breath, and put the bow and arrow away.

"Seeing that you are quite powerful, why have you been chased and beaten by them for so long and still haven't shot?" Seeing the disdainful young man, Chu Ying smiled lightly.

"It doesn't mean you can bully people with high martial arts. If people don't attack me, I will not attack others. They will know that I am a Han Chinese when they see me. They will become malicious after hearing what you say, so they attack me because of you, not because of me. Xiao Xiao Is it really good to be so scheming at this age?"

Adan Muye looked at Chu Ying behind him who was about the same age as him, but there was an indescribable desolation in his eyes, just like the indifference of an old man who has experienced most of his life.
