Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 133

And when the horse goes uphill, the speed is bound to slow down. If there is a possibility of being overtaken, it is the uphill section of the road.

On his forehead, he didn't know when cold sweat broke out, Huo Tianxiao asked, "Where should we go next?"

"There's nowhere to go, so be prepared to go all out." An Huan smiled wryly, swung his whip sullenly, and drove the horse towards the steep slope.

Huo Tianxiao was dumbfounded. Was it really a bad year? He was unwilling to let it go, so he had to beat the horse vigorously. The two horses, one in front and one behind, fell into the deep sand and slowly climbed up the slope.

And the gangsters who were chasing behind took advantage of this excellent terrain to rush forward quickly, and the distance was shortened a lot in the blink of an eye.

However, the horses under the two seats were panting and exhausted from running.

"Abandon the horse." An Huan gritted his teeth.

"Are you crazy?" How could a person's foot strength compare to a horse's.

An Huan looked at him and said, "Do you believe me?"

Huo Tianxiao looked back, watching helplessly as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer. In this situation, he had no choice at all.

He said with a stern face, "I believe in you, but..."

Before she finished speaking, An Huan jumped off the horse, and with the inertia of the horse running, her body slid forward lightly.

Even though Huo Tianxiao was full of reluctance, he knew that the horse had become a burden at this time. If he didn't abandon the horse, he would probably be caught up.

Gathering his breath, he slid forward on the sand in the same way as An Huan, and after his inertial strength was exhausted, he used lightness kung fu to keep rushing forward.

Both of them had good lightness skills, and quickly rushed up the steep slope. On the other side of the steep slope, there was a big downhill slope, which was at an angle of about 45 degrees.

In the buffer zone between the two slopes, a broken carriage has been half buried by the wind and sand, and the exposed carriage has been blown to pieces by the wind and sand.

An Huan's face was overjoyed when she saw the carriage compartment. While beckoning Huo Tianxiao to run there, she unbuttoned her coat and quickly tore a few long pieces.

"What are you doing, are you crazy?" You must know that although the sun is scorching and hot during the day, it will soon be dark, when the temperature in the desert will drop sharply, and you will be frozen into a popsicle if you wear too little possible.

An Huan didn't reply, and dragged him to the side of the abandoned carriage, and neatly cut out four planks with the dagger he carried with him.

Although the wooden board has been partially corroded after a long period of wind and rain, another advantage is that the wooden board is polished smooth without a trace of roughness.

She squatted down and quickly tied two wooden boards under Huo Tianxiao's feet, then tied two more boards for herself, grabbed Huo Tianxiao's hand, stepped a little, and two figures, like the wind, flowed smoothly Sliding down on the sand.

In the ear, there is the sound of whistling wind, this is because the sliding speed is too fast.

Huo Tianxiao's heart trembled slightly. What was the reason for this? This speed was much faster than riding a horse. He originally thought that going downhill would be extremely troublesome, but he didn't know that it made the two of them.

The speed of the board sliding was very fast, and the two of them just controlled the direction and balance of their bodies, but within a short while, they were able to get away from the bandits who were about to approach by a considerable distance.

"This...how did you do it." Huo Tianxiao was extremely curious.

An Huan pursed her lips tightly, "I'll tell you again when I have a chance, the matter is not over yet," she said, looking back, what she was worried about finally happened.

These gangsters living in the Kedan Desert are indeed very experienced, and they also carry tools for sliding on the sand.

After the horses climbed the steep slope, they changed into skating tools one after another and followed.

The gangsters were extremely fast, like maggots on tarsal bones, they followed everywhere.

"There's still no way to get rid of it." An Huan smiled wryly, these gangsters took a lot of effort to chase them.

At the beginning, she would think that the two of them broke into this place by mistake, but now it seems that all of this was premeditated.

Whether it was the carriage full of gold or the appearance of these thugs, it was just a game of chess that had been arranged long ago, waiting for the two of them to be caught.

What a big calculation, how many people are there in the world who can have such courage?
Thinking like this in my heart, but I didn't dare to rest in one breath, I tried my best to drive the wooden board under my feet, and slid desperately.

But the plank, after all, is not as good as a special tool for gliding on the sand, and the gangsters trailing behind, once again, shortened the distance without limit.

"If you can't escape, don't run away." Huo Tianxiao said suddenly.

"You mean a fight?" An Huan asked him.

"Is there a better choice?"

"I'm afraid that the mantis will catch the cicada and the oriole will be behind." An Huan said thoughtfully.

"What do you mean?" After a moment, Huo Tianxiao also understood that there are indeed too many doubts that have not been straightened out along the way.

However, if you can't escape and don't fight, what else can you do?
"We have no choice," he said.

"Don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge," An Huan comforted.

However, as soon as she said a word, she realized that she was wrong, because the slope had come to an end, and at the end was a cliff.

It was extremely rare for a cliff to appear in the desert, but it was unexpectedly encountered by the two of them. I have to say that the luck of the two of them was really bad.

Steady on the edge of the cliff, they looked at each other with wry smiles, and the eyes of both of them conveyed a message very clearly, "Jump, or not?"

"Let's dance." An Huan said decisively.

Huo Tianxiao nodded, and the two of them held hands, turned into two light shadows, and jumped towards the cliff.

The thugs who were chasing after him stopped at the edge of the cliff, as if they couldn't believe it was true. It would have been too easy for these two people to die.

……

It was almost dusk, the wind was blowing and the grass was stirring, and the entire Kedan grassland was filled with a desolate and deserted atmosphere.

On the edge of the cliff, in a slightly raised sand field, the sand was slowly dug out, and two human heads emerged.

The hair of both of them was covered with sand. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was two grasses growing out of the sand.

"It's okay." With a sigh, An Huan patted the sand on her body vigorously, and cleaned it up.

Huo Tianxiao also took off his coat and began to shake off the dirt on his body.

At that moment just now, the two people were quick to think, but they didn't really jump off the cliff, but at the moment they jumped, they slipped down, and then violently dug up the sand to bury the two of them.

Fortunately, there was still a distance when the bandit was chasing after him, which gave the two people time to come up with such a trick.

But the two of them also suffered a lot and ate a lot of sand.

"Let's go." An Huan hurriedly said after cleaning the sand from her hair.

It will soon be night, and at night in the sand, anything can happen, and there will be more unknown dangers. At this time, one must go to a safe place.

Huo Tianxiao nodded, took her hand naturally, and pulled her away.

When the two of them were being chased by the bandits, the movement of holding hands was very natural, but at this time, An Huan felt a little awkward.

She raised her head and looked at Huo Tianxiao, dumbfounded.

Huo Tianxiao said angrily, "Let's go, I'm just thinking wildly."

"Oh... oh..." His cheeks flushed slightly, and he hurriedly followed Huo Tianxiao, but his heartbeat speeded up unknowingly.

The two figured out the direction and walked northward to the Daxiong Temple, but the Kedan Desert was so huge that it had a radius of hundreds of miles. If they walked on foot like this, they couldn't see the end at all, and there was no way to go out in a short time. possible.

Fortunately, the two walked into a dry Populus euphratica forest before it got dark. The most feared thing at night is a storm. If ordinary travelers sleep in the sand at night, they are likely to be buried in the sand the next day. There is no possibility of waking up, so staying in this Populus euphratica forest is relatively safe.

On the leeward side, they dug a hole in the sand and lit a fire, but they didn't dare to burn the fire too big for fear of attracting attention. The two of them stood back to back and kept warm by the fire.

After it was completely dark, the temperature in the desert suddenly dropped several degrees. During the day, it still felt hot and dry, but at this time, it felt a bitingly cold.

Because the jacket was torn into pieces, An Huan's clothes were a little thin at this time, and occasionally a gust of cold wind blew by, and she couldn't help shrinking her neck.

"It's cold?" Huo Tianxiao asked.

"Ah."

As soon as the words fell, a piece of clothing was draped over her body.

An Huan said uncomfortably, "Your injuries haven't completely healed yet, how can you..."

Huo Tianxiao interrupted her, "I'm not that fragile."

An Huan smiled wryly, but also knew that he was always very macho, so he temporarily put it on his body. I don't know if it was a psychological hint or the clothes really kept warm. After a while, he felt much warmer on his body. .

However, the stomach growled loudly.

The two of them were too hasty when they abandoned the horse, and they didn't have time to get the food and water from the horse's back. At this time, they couldn't help being hungry and thirsty.

"I'll go find something to eat." Huo Tianxiao stood up after speaking.

An Huan pulled him back, "Don't go, it's dangerous."

"What's the danger here?" Huo Tianxiao frowned.

An Huan signaled her to be quiet, and then reminded, "Listen..."

Huo Tianxiao listened intently, and there was a very slight "swoosh" sound next to his ear, "What is it?"

"Sand snake." An Huan said.

"It's just a snake." Huo Tianxiao didn't care.

"Not only snakes, but also countless poisonous insects, all flying around and crawling underground. Because the desert is dry during the day, these little things will not come out to move during the day. You can see that the sand is clean during the day. But at night, you will find countless little things crawling out, and these things are highly poisonous, once bitten, it will be very troublesome." An Huan explained.

Huo Tianxiao had read these contents in the books when he was studying before, and now he knew that An Huan was not alarmist, but if he stayed up all night without eating or drinking, it would be extremely uncomfortable.

He said helplessly, "Then what should we do?"

An Huan smiled wryly, "There is no other way, the only way to be safer is to stay by the fire."

Huo Tianxiao said again, "It's okay not to eat for a day and a night, but it's too dry here. If there is no water to drink, where will I have the strength to go tomorrow?"

An Huan was right after thinking about it, and slowly got up, "Don't worry, let me take a look at the terrain here..."

She lit a small torch, held it up and walked around, while holding a dead branch in her other hand, and wrote a bunch of strange symbols on the ground. This symbol was seen in the book Shui Jing Zhu, But he still couldn't understand it, but he knew that this was a way to calculate the terrain to find the water source.

Feeling a little excited, he couldn't wait to say, "How about it, is it okay?"

An Huan didn't answer, took two steps back, took out the dagger from her arms and thrust it in forcefully, after pulling it out, there wasn't even a speck of sand on the dagger.
