Wu Zheng's eyes were wandering, and he kept turning the kettle in his hand. A sneer flashed in Xiaohua's heart, and then she said, "Can't you help it anymore?"
Wu Zheng nodded subconsciously. But then, he felt something was wrong and shook his head again.
The wind and sand are still there, but they are gradually getting smaller, which makes everyone feel happy. This kind of wind and sand is the most uncertain factor. It can last for several months in the long term. It may take more than half a day in the short term.
Wu Zheng and the others should be lucky this time, they don't have to turn into mummies.
After a while, the wind and sand completely subsided, and a few people came out from under the cliff again. The bearded man re-identified the direction, and then said: "Should we go south or go back?"
Hearing this question, Xiaohua's brows wrinkled again. Originally, if there hadn't been this sudden sandstorm, he had already decided to continue moving forward. However, God did not fulfill his wishes, and he made such a mistake halfway, which made him have to start all over again.
It’s decided.
Xiaohua did not reply immediately. Instead, she looked at the horses and asked, "How are they?"
When the bearded man saw Xiaohua's gaze directed towards the horse, he also looked over, and then sighed: "They must be dying soon. After all, they are not camels. It is a miracle that they can survive for so long in the Gobi Desert."
Hearing this, Xiaohua's brows furrowed even more tightly, but she said firmly: "Let's move on."
"Ah?" Wu Zheng exclaimed. He never expected that Xiaohua could make such an irrational decision under such harsh conditions. He even suspected that Xiaohua was blown mad by the wind.
"Okay." Big Beard didn't question anything. He took the horse and pulled it towards the south. At this moment, the horse was almost extremely weak, and even fell to its knees on the ground. No matter how much Big Beard pulled, it couldn't move.
Never moved an inch.
"Damn, you beast." The bearded man burst into flames and kicked towards the horses.
In normal times, Big Beard's action would definitely have caused the horses to kick in the circle. But at this moment, these horses had no strength to resist. After being taught such a lesson by Big Beard, they actually stood up.
The bearded method is still very effective. Many good horses are actually beaten. Animals are different from people. They will work as long as they are beaten. As for people, after being beaten, the chance of resistance is high.
It's one o'clock. Naturally, Wu Zheng is not among this group of people.
After the sandstorm passed, everything changed drastically. Mo Qing and Xiaohua also tried to find out where they had stayed before and dug out some other supplies. But obviously, Xiaohua and the others underestimated the sandstorm. This level of
After the disaster, there was no trace of human beings anywhere. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but golden sand.
The sun is like fire, scorching the earth. The ground not far away already looks a little distorted, and the impact of high temperature is quite serious. Wu Zheng and the four people now only have one pot of water, and everyone is holding the pot of water. It can be said that
This kettle has unknowingly become the place of hope for several people.
As long as the water is still there, they still have hope and will not be defeated by the inner demons. In fact, in this situation, the most terrifying thing is often not the vast yellow sand, but the collapse of the heart.
The four of them were walking in the Gobi Desert and did not choose to ride on those horses. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but that these beasts couldn't bear it anymore. Even the lightest little flower here was enough to ride on it.
These horses were crushed until they could no longer stand up. This was the so-called last straw.
Xiaohua had already made a plan in her mind. If they could hold on until tonight, they would bear the pain and kill the horse. From tonight to tomorrow, they could drink the horse's blood so that they would not die of thirst in the Gobi.
However, waiting two days later may be the saddest time for them. After all, they have no horses, and their traveling speed next door has naturally slowed down. The three days that Big Beard originally mentioned were three days on horseback. Now
Without the horse, Xiaohua conservatively estimated that she would have to last another four or five days.
Mo Qing was still carrying the long sword. In fact, before setting off, he wanted to turn around and go back. As for why he didn't say so, he still wanted to hear Xiaohua's opinion. Although he was the second prince, he thought that
, not very smart. But Xiaohua was different. He always felt that Xiaohua had amazing judgment and commanding abilities. And coupled with the previous interactions, he decided that he should trust Xiaohua.
The road in the Gobi Desert is not difficult to walk, even if there is a lot of unsightly yellow sand, it is not a problem. So the four people and four horses walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow, leaving behind a string of different sizes and shapes.
Different footprints.
A few people were not worried about encountering any danger again. After all, they had experienced big scenes such as sandstorms. As for Nan Yao's pursuers, it was impossible to catch up in the vast Gobi desert.
Gradually, the sun was about to set, and the temperature began to drop. Xiaohua knew that the time was almost here, and these horses were about to reach the end of their lives.
But at this moment, Wu Zheng suddenly shouted: "What are those black spots over there?"
After everyone heard this, they immediately looked over. After all, in the vast Gobi desert, any small change may cause life-threatening consequences.
But she saw that in that direction, as Wu Zheng said, several black spots appeared. Not only that, the black spots continued to expand. Finally, Xiaohua saw clearly that they were several people riding on horses. Their hands
Li raised his riding whip and galloped straight towards Wu Zheng and the others.
"Oh no, it's a horse thief." The bearded man yelled. This horse thief appears in the Gobi all year round, and usually robs caravans coming and going. But this time it was strange, and he actually got the idea of a few of them. If only
They knew that the four of them had nothing at all, and they would probably regret traveling so far.
However, a faint smile appeared on Xiaohua's face, and she said casually: "This is not bad, but our luck has come."
"Luck?" Wu Zheng looked at the horse thieves coming on horseback in confusion, and subconsciously had the idea of escape.
"They have horses, food, and water." Xiaohua said word by word.
At this moment, Wu Zheng also realized what was going on. After a long time of commotion, Xiaohua wanted to rob the other party! You are such a cunning and cunning little flower. As for the horse thieves who came flying towards you, you can't.
I know what Xiaohua is thinking at this moment. If I knew, I would probably be so angry that I would vomit blood and just turn around and run away.
Xiaohua has an idea in her mind, but her face remains the same.
He deliberately showed a look of panic. When the few people came to kill him, there was another burst of flying sand. There were more than ten of them, and each of them was holding a long knife in his hand, waving it to the rhythm of the horse.
Wu Zheng heard their conversation, and one of the thin men said happily: "It's so refreshing. I didn't expect that I would encounter prey as soon as the wind and sand ended."
"If you are wise, please hand over all your things. We can consider sparing your lives." A scarred man said coldly to Wu Zheng and others.
Xiaohua suddenly started to tremble, panic and fear flashed in her eyes, she quickly took a few steps back and collapsed to the ground.
Wu Zheng looked at Xiao Hua's performance and couldn't help but sneer in his heart, Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, you are really good at acting! But of course, there was no need for him to expose Xiao Hua unless he wanted to be beaten. So Wu Zheng also looked frightened and raised his hands
He covered his cheeks and shivered in fear. Speaking of which, Wu Zheng's performance was much more realistic than Xiao Hua's, because after all, he was acting in his true colors.
Big Beard and Mo Qing were already ready for battle. But when they saw Xiao Hua and Mo Qing acting like this, they had no choice but to pretend.
However, the horse thieves did not notice anything unusual about Xiaohua and the others. Instead, they burst into laughter. "These are useless people. Look at the one who covered his face with his hands. He was so scared that he almost peed."
Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that he could be tricked by this? Well, he admitted that he was pretending to be very similar, as if he was really scared to the point of peeing.
"Hand it over." The scarred face raised his fingers, obviously no longer interested in wasting time.
But Xiaohua suddenly said: "Don't worry, as the saying goes, you won't be late for a good meal, but you won't be able to eat hot tofu if you are impatient."
"Eat tofu?" Those horse thieves didn't have much education, but they knew the word "eat tofu" very well, so they subconsciously smiled evilly.
Xiaohua was impressed by these scumbags and didn't want to play any more. So he stood up cleanly without picking up a grain of dust. Then, Xiaohua twisted his neck and wrist and said proudly: "Let's get up together.
.”
As soon as this statement came out, it did not anger the horse thieves. On the contrary, it made them laugh. Laughing, one of the horse thieves pointed at Xiaohua's nose and said: "With your little arms and legs, you really don't know how high the world is.
Didn't your mother tell you that children shouldn't talk nonsense?"
When Xiao Hua heard this, her face instantly dropped. Then, Xiao Hua raised her feet, and a cloud of yellow sand instantly rose up. The horses of the horse thieves were frightened and started to neigh.
At this moment, Xiaohua also moved. He first rushed towards the person who had just opened his mouth to taunt him, and then suddenly kicked him. As expected, the person fell down and came.
He looked like a dog chewing shit and ate a mouthful of sand.
Immediately afterwards, Xiaohua moved again, kicking the scarred man again. Although they had already reacted after Xiaohua knocked down one person, in the end, Xiaohua was still stronger, and he kicked that man with one flying kick.
Scarface was also kicked off his horse.
Many horse thieves suddenly became excited. They never expected that the prey in their mouths would bite back, and they were furious. They held the hilts of their knives in their hands, and each one of them was filled with murderous intent, and they started to kill Xiaohua.
