Married and Abandoned Concubine for the Third Time: The Prince's Concubine Out of Favor

Chapter 170 Ending 17
It would be fine if her compass was still there, but the compass disappeared without a trace in that big storm.

Long Li stared at her blankly, neither nodding nor shaking his head.He was the one who organized this trip into the desert, and it was his responsibility to bring these people out of the desert. If he made a slight misjudgment, he would sacrifice his life for the consequences.

"We can still travel at night. I can find the direction according to the astrology of the Big Dipper. As long as we find the right direction and try not to stop to rest, we can shorten the time of hunger and thirst." Seeing Longli's eyes, Su Qianxue didn't trust her. She asked again.

This time, Long Li was silent for a long time, and at the moment when everyone thought he would shake his head, he nodded, and said to everyone in a deep voice: "We trust her just once, she knows a little bit about finding the way. "

In fact, when he said this, his tone was slightly hesitant, but he wanted to grin at Su Qianxue with an extremely forced smile.

The moment Long Li smiled, Su Qianxue realized that she couldn't move anymore. Long Li hadn't smiled at her for a long time, but now that he was in a dangerous place, he smiled trustingly at her, which made him feel special.

Among the seven people, only Su Qianxue rode on the camel, the old patriarch, Long Li, and another young man led the other three camels.Anyone who leads a camel knows that in the current situation, it is not the person who leads the camel, but the camel who leads the person.

When people look for water in the desert, they only know that there is water when they see oasis and water. A camel’s ability is much higher than that of a human. It will stop on a desert that looks the same as other places, and then plan with its hooves. , Dig out a hole, it seems that there is nothing special.

However, this particular pit, after an hour or two, would be filled with water seeping out very slowly.Moreover, the water must be very clear, and it will never be salty or bitter.

Walking back from west to east this time, their shadows stretched long on the desert, and their feet stepped on the soft sand, which intensified the difficulty.Walking here is like walking on the snow. Every step you take will leave a deep footprint. The sand almost buries your calf. Every step will take effort.

This is also the reason why Long Li insisted on letting Su Qianxue get on the camel alone. Su Qianxue was already weak and pregnant. Not only did her body fail to replenish nutrients in time, but she was still losing nutrients. If Su Qianxue was allowed to use her own strength , undoubtedly hastening her death.

Six men, very consciously, none of them scrambled for the camel.

Along the way, no one spoke any more. They all lowered their heads and looked at their own shadows. The desert was so peaceful that there was no sound at all.This afternoon, everyone walked relatively easily.

But at night, when they were cold and hungry, and their clothes were in tatters, the six of them were covered with bumps all over their bodies, and they staggered every step they took, which was extremely difficult.

Long Li pulled the camel, approached the old patriarch, and asked in a low voice: "What are you afraid of?"

The old patriarch's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "I have lived for most of my life, and I have never heard of such a big storm. Maybe this kind of storm is not the first time. It has happened before, but I have really encountered such a storm. None of the people who caused the storm survived, so no one spread it, and I couldn’t hear it.”

Long Li's heart skipped a beat, his complexion turned a dead gray under the pale moonlight: "Can we get out of the desert?"

The old patriarch shook his head: "Who knows, life is not in your own hands, but in God's hands."

Long Li's face gradually sank, but the demeanor of that handsome face still remained undiminished.Long Li didn't ask any more questions, she lowered her head and took one step at a time.

Staring at his own shadow, he suddenly remembered the six years he spent with Su Qianxue and the two children, and scenes of the past flooded into his mind. In those six years, he only spent 23 days with the mother and child, but this time Here and now, he couldn't help thinking, it was the happiest time of his life.

He began to regret that he missed the most important things in his life.

In those six years, when he was lonely collecting medicines, he wanted to go home, but he didn't dare to go home. He was afraid that he would fall in love with Su Qianxue and end up being inseparable from the three of them.But after six years, he gradually forgot his mission, and naturally took on the role of a father.Originally, it was okay to gradually forget the hatred, but Bu Yichen's appearance finally reminded him of his mission.

He kept hiding his feelings, because he didn't want to be the one who hurt the most in the end.In fact, he was also afraid of losing his mother and son.Now, in the desert, he felt that he hadn't lived enough and had never been truly happy.

After living for 30 years, he was tortured by hatred and did not understand the meaning of living. In other words, for these [-] years, he seemed to have lived in vain.

He didn't cherish the people around him, and even hurt her all over.

"I'm sorry..." After being silent for a long time, Long Li raised her head and said this to Su Qianxue.

Su Qianxue didn't know what Long Li said to the old patriarch, let alone the real meaning of his sorry.But she thought, Long Li apologized because he regretted taking her into the desert, right?

Su Qianxue parted her lips and gave him a comforting smile, "It doesn't matter, this is what I did willingly, it was I who insisted on following you, and it was I who became your burden."

Long Li's lips parted. This was not what he was apologizing for, but he didn't intend to explain.

"My father said that I can live to be 68 years old. In other words, we can find water and go to the desert!" Su Qianxue looked confident, her face that was originally full of dust, but now it was surprisingly shiny , dazzled Longli's eyes.

"Yes, we can get out. Once we get out of here, I will live a new life..." Long Li replied, talking to himself, until the last sentence, the statement was so small that only he could hear it.

"Li, I suddenly miss En En Ze Ze..." Su Qianxue said with emotion inadvertently, she just simply missed them, but unexpectedly Long Li also nodded and said: "I miss them too."

"Ah?" Su Qianxue couldn't react for a while, Long Li avoided her eyes and said as if to cover up something: "People are most likely to be confused at this time, we'd better keep a clear head and don't have distracting thoughts. Otherwise, once we think too much, we will think about food and drink, so we will never get out of the desert, we have to think 'I am not hungry' and 'I am not thirsty', so that we can get out of the desert."

Hearing this, Su Qianxue nodded solemnly and assured him: "I know, I will not cause you any burden."

She will always believe in his words, his words are everything to her, and she will keep every word firmly in her heart.

"There is no one's burden. At the beginning of the storm, all of us who suffered and died together are one, so no one will abandon anyone at this time." When Long Li said this, his spoken language was very serious, but Surprisingly shocked everyone's heart.

Everyone walked in the cold night for an unknown amount of time, but they finally couldn't resist the chill. The deeper the night, the stronger the chill, and every gust of wind felt like a sharp knife was cutting the skin.

The old patriarch came to Long Li's side, his voice was too low to be heard: "Take a break, women can't resist."

Even though Su Qianxue tried her best to pretend that she was not cold and could hold on, but when she really fell down, she would really become a burden.

Long Li looked back at Su Qianxue, who was swaying on the camel, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave before dawn tomorrow. It's neither cold nor hot during Chenshi, so it's best to hurry."

So, the four camels fell down, and all the people squeezed their bodies, leaning on the camels as much as possible.In this way, there will be a little warmth that can at least sustain life.Long Li took the initiative to hug Su Qianxue tightly, and leaned on the camel together.

Su Qianxue's lips were trembling coldly, her teeth were also chattering, her body was close to Longli's body, her head was buried under his arms, she couldn't help it, her eyes became hot, tears flowed out, "Li, at this moment, I feel very lucky."

Seeing the crystal clear tears, Long Li's heart tightened, and he said urgently: "Don't cry, once you cry, the water in your body will lose faster."

Su Qianxue wiped away tears as soon as possible, forced back her own tears, and said in a low voice: "I'm not crying, I just feel that I'm so happy."

Long Li's hard heart finally crumbled at this moment, and instantly turned into soft fingers. He asked quietly, "Don't you complain when I treat you like this?"

Su Qianxue nodded for a while, then shook her head: "I complained and hated, but I found that the more I hate you, the more I love you..."

Long Li stared at her for a long time, but couldn't say anything. Finally, he just said two words 'fool', and then hugged her even tighter, as if to make up for all the regrets he hadn't had in six years. Done.

The two hugged each other tightly, and they were also close to the camel, so they really felt the warmth.

Under such circumstances, the importance of camels is also particularly evident. A camel can at least give six or seven people who lean on it a minimum of warmth.Therefore, Long Li didn't think of killing camels until three days later. At that time, two people had already collapsed in the desert due to hunger and thirst, unable to get up again...

On the first night in the desert after being killed, Long Li hugged Su Qianxue tightly, and did not sleep, because when he was hungry, he couldn't sleep at all, he just closed his eyes.He listened to the "gulu" and "gulu" sounds from the camel's belly, and then he also listened to the "gulu" and "gulu" sounds from the belly of himself and Su Qianxue.
