Chapter 165 Sand Sea
The sand sea in the northwest is deserted.
Looking as far as the eye can see, the long and monotonous yellow sand stretches all the way to the horizon, boundless.
The scorching sun scorches the yellow sand, and one heat wave after another is in the sand dunes. When you are in it, you can't help but feel unbearably hot. In this barbaric land where no grass grows, it is hard to find a drop of water.
In the desert of yellow sand, there are four camels carrying people walking in an orderly manner. Their broad hooves step deeply into the sand, and then they rise up again. Repeatedly, they form a patchwork of hoofprints in the desert, which is unique.
scenery.
"This is the first time I have seen this desert scene in my life. It is indeed as the poem says: 'The desert is endless and the lonely city is empty on all sides. The horse is walking on the high moraine, and the sun is falling into the sand.' It is really a feast for the eyes."
Dressed in a yellow-red gown and a gauze-covered bamboo hat, the handsome and elegant young man was riding on a camel and couldn't help but admire him.
Riding side by side with him, a young man of about the same age could be seen wearing plain gray attire, a soft gray scarf around his neck, a bamboo hat on his head, and carrying an icy blue sword on his back.
Hearing this, the young man slowly lifted up the gauze that blocked his sight, revealing his handsome face. Two locks of black hair sneaked out from his hair and hung down in front of his temples, fluttering in the wind, adding a dash of free and uninhibited color to this handsome young man.
.
He smiled warmly and said: "Guanting, these thousands of miles of beautiful mountains and rivers are full of magnificent scenery. If we don't have to worry about it in the future, we brothers can hold our swords and walk across the mountains and rivers to the end of the world. Wouldn't it be beautiful and magnificent?"
Ge Guanting was elated and echoed: "Haha, okay, let's call him Ayin too. After he comes back from Beicang, the three of us brothers can travel around the world and wield swords in the mountains and rivers."
The grey-grey young man smiled happily, nodded and said: "You are going to travel across the world, sword-wielding mountains and rivers, I, Hu Liqin, am willing to devote all my energy to it."
"Can you two young heroes get out of this place where birds don't lay eggs first, and then dream of your heroes?"
A camel was carrying a girl in aquatic clothes. The girl's gauze bamboo hat was not enough to cover her face. A long gauze scarf covered her white neck and half of her face tightly, leaving only a pair of watery lips exposed.
Spiritual eyes, spiritual eyes are clear and translucent, like two rare pearls immersed in the deep sea of wisdom for a long time.
She slowly pulled down the gauze scarf covering her jade face, frowned, fanned her sleeves, and complained: "It's so hot, this sun is so poisonous, it's almost killing me."
Ge Guanting rode a camel. He waited for the camel to approach the girl in green clothes, and then he slowly stopped. He neatly lifted the cow attached to the hump.
He took off the skin water bag, opened it carefully, handed it to her, and said comfortingly: "Xian'er asked you, a girl, to accompany us to suffer. Thank you for your hard work. Drink some water in the desert, and wait until we arrive before sunset."
Yangcun will be better."
Xiao Hongxian's heart warmed, and she took the water bag handed over by the young man. Without caring about the identity of her daughter's family, she took a big sip, and her dry throat seemed to be soaked with a stream of clear water, which made her feel refreshed and comfortable.
Strings of escaping water droplets dripped into the sand and were evaporated instantly, leaving no trace.
"Brother Guanting, drink some too, don't always save water for me."
Xiao Hongxian handed the water bag to Ge Guanting again. Seeing that Ge Guanting was reluctant to take the water bag, she tilted the water bag slightly and said in a slightly threatening tone: "Okay, if you don't drink it, then I will drink it all."
Forget about pouring it to this sandy soil, then neither you nor I can drink it. Do you want to drink half of it yourself and give me the rest, or do you want to get this water-hungry yellow sand for free?"
Ge Guanting stared at this girl who was only fifteen years old. The corners of her mouth were full of confidence, and her bright eyes reflected her hesitation, but she seemed to have seen through her. How could she still be naive?
An innocent girl with haircuts.
This girl in green clothes looks delicate and childish, but she is always thinking something when she frowns and smiles. Her mind is mature, and she is more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
She would always take care of the kind-hearted young man in her own way, but sometimes this seemingly rude way of caring would make him sigh that it was beyond his reach.
Ge Guanting immediately took the water bag, took a big sip, and said with a smile, "Is this okay?"
Xiao Hongxian's shrewd little mind was not easily deceived. She took the water bag again, weighed it in the palm of her hand, and then thought to herself: "You can take three more sips, and the amount of each sip will be larger than your first sip. If you take another sip,
Drink half a minute less, if you let me find out." She stared at her bright eyes, calculating the amount of water in her calculations.
Suddenly he paused, squinted his eyes, and said with a cold smile: "Hey, I'm sorry, I have to throw away the rest."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly smiled and held the water bag in the air with her fingers. While waiting for him to take it, she looked straight at Ge Guanting.
Naturally, Ge Guanting's little thoughts could not escape her bright eyes. He reluctantly took the water bag and drank three consecutive sips without hesitation. The amount would only be more than the first sip, and definitely not less.
Xiao Hongxian stared at the number of times his Adam's apple squirmed, knowing that Ge Guanting was afraid that his drinking volume would not meet his standards, so he secretly took a small sip more.
While waiting for Ge Guanting to wipe the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand,
stains, while handing the water bag to Xiao Hongxian for inspection.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hongxian put her arms around her chest, smiled sweetly, and said jokingly: "You are such a nerd, always thinking about other people's little fools. Come on, this water bag meets the standard at a glance, so there is no need to test it."
Ge Guanting blinked his eyes cutely, sealed the water bag tightly, and muttered with an annoyed look on his face: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken one more sip, it was such a waste."
"The affection you two showed along the way was enough to overwhelm me." Hu Liqin glanced at Ge and Xiao a few times, knowing full well that the two of them were caring for each other and showing humility to each other.
Xiao Hongxian rolled her eyes at him and spat: "If you are so envious, you should quickly find a little white rabbit. The little fox and the little white rabbit are a perfect match."
In addition to envy, he couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness and sadness in his heart. He pursed his lips and calmed down for a moment. After taking the water bag from the middle-aged man next to him, he said softly: "Uncle Changjia, if you feel unwell, please
You must tell Liqin that we will take a rest right away, okay?"
Gao Changjia's dull expression lit up with a twinkle of hope, he nodded and said: "Okay, okay, Liqin, let's go back to Liukong." He was riding on the camel, raised his arms, and said happily.
Hu Liqin's expression dimmed slightly and he agreed: "Okay, Liqin will take you home and go back to Liukong to see grandpa and dad, okay?"
Ge Guanting thought about Xiao Hongxian's metaphor and said doubtfully: "Hey! Xian'er, why do the little fox and the little white rabbit match so well?"
Xiao Hongxian explained helplessly: "Oh! What a stupid brother. The simplicity of the little white rabbit just matches the cunning of the fox. If two smart foxes get together, wouldn't they fight to the death?"
"Oh, I understand. Compared with Xian'er, I am just a little white rabbit and need the protection of a little fox." Ge Guanting suddenly realized and said with a smile.
Xiao Hongxian nodded and said, "Okay, that's almost the same principle. If you use this metaphor, I have nothing to say."
Ge Guanting was confused and murmured: "But Palace Master Shu is so smart. Compared with Miss Qiu Shui, Miss Qiu Shui looks like a little white rabbit."
Xiao Hongxian chuckled: "Haha, I didn't expect that bookworms also want to be matchmakers." As she said this, her smile temporarily faded, and she said sadly: "I don't know whether Miss Qiushui is a little white rabbit, but Sister Qing'er is definitely not a little white rabbit.
Rabbit, she is smart, she is wise, she is holy, she is like a snowdrop."
