C409

Previously, Xiao Qingqian had said that he would be able to walk out of this desert until the east.

Wei Qing looked up at the sun, confirmed her direction, and then headed towards the east.

Fortunately, the wind had stopped. It was not like yesterday, where every step he took would require him to expend a great amount of strength and he would not have to eat sand.

However, to be able to leave the desert from the east, why was it that even after walking for so long, he still hadn't left?

Instead …

Wei Qing frowned, and looked around anxiously.

"Ah Qian, tell me, what exactly went wrong?"

This was the first time Wei Qing was so afraid, because the temperature of Xiao Qingqian's body was getting hotter and hotter.

The answer she got was naturally silence.

Wei Qing bit her lips, thought for a moment, and then asked the horse.

The horse only snorted, already exhausted.

Walking in this desert, not to mention humans, even horses would not be able to handle it.

Wei Qing took out her water bag and poured some of her remaining water into her palm for the horses to drink.

"Horses and horses, you must know the direction, right?"

Wei Qing had really lost her mind, she could only place all her hopes on the horse.

The horse raised its front hooves, whinnied, and galloped forward.

Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, she anxiously stabilised his body and brought them forward.

He could still smell the sweet scent of water and the delicate fragrance of plants.

Wei Qing thought that her lack of water was serious, so she hallucinated.

However, the water vapor was getting denser and the green was getting denser.

A hint of joy surfaced at the corner of Wei Qing's eyes as she dismounted from her horse. She, who was originally very weak, felt as if she had been injected with chicken blood as she quickly ran towards the green area in front of him.

The horses carried Xiao Qingqian and quickly entered the oasis.

Wei Qing looked up at the blue sky, her hands moved to her mouth and shouted, "Heavens, thank you!"

Although this oasis was not big, it was filled with water. There were also wild fruits that were not tasty, but still edible.

Right now, Wei Qing was most anxious to find medicinal ingredients and get Xiao Qingqian off the horse as soon as possible. Wei Qing had dipped his cloth cloth in water and placed it on Xiao Qingqian's forehead to help him cool down.

Perhaps because of Xiao Qingqian's good health, coupled with the fact that Wei Qing had taken good care of him, even if he did not find any medicinal ingredients to reduce the fever, the temperature of Xiao Qingqian's body slowly dropped.

Wei Qing touched it, and her high and mighty heart gradually dropped.

Xiao Qingqian slowly opened his eyes, looking at the green color, he was surprised and asked softly: "We are already out of the desert?"

Wei Qing shook his head, "The horses brought us to the oasis, you just had a fever and then your fever stopped."

Xiao Qingqian touched the cloth cloth on his forehead and propped it up slowly.

Wei Qing anxiously extended her hand to help him, Xiao Qingqian massaged his swollen forehead, "Although we found this desert oasis, we will not be staying here for long."

"I know that. The most important thing right now is for you to recover as soon as possible."

Xiao Qingqian nodded.

Wei Qing cut the wild fruits into pieces with her dagger and stuffed them into Xiao Qingqian's mouth.

Xiao Qingqian slowly chewed, "I've delayed it for so long, I wonder how is the situation in the capital?"

"You're still worried about the capital now?" Wei Qing unhappily rolled her eyes at him, "Take care of your body first, don't think about anything else."

Xiao Qingqian looked at her, and suddenly could not help but let out a soft laugh.

Wei Qing's originally creased eyebrows deepened. "What are you laughing at?"

"Laugh at my wife for being an easterner!"

Wei Qing vexedly punched him once, pressing on his chest, he cried out in pain, and directly laid down on the soft grass.

"Xiao Qingqian?" Wei Qing looked at her own hands. She didn't seem to use much strength just now!

Xiao Qingqian called out with a bluff. Wei Qing stared at him and his face suddenly darkened, "Xiao Qingqian, what are you doing?"

Being seen through so quickly, Xiao Qingqian felt bored and sat up: "Let me look at the map."

Wei Qing nodded.

He looked at it very carefully, but there was no sign of an oasis on the map. Xiao Qingqian came to the edge of the oasis and looked around.

In the desert, it was completely covered in yellow sand. Even if there were any iconic buildings, they would all be drowned by the sand.

He took a deep breath. "Do you remember the location?"

Wei Qing shook her head.

At that time, Xiao Qingqian's fever was so strong, Wei Qing's entire heart was focused on Xiao Qingqian, where would he have the time and energy to determine which direction to go?

Xiao Qingqian's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the serious expression in his eyes grew thicker.

Since this oasis was so small, after the next sandstorm, it might completely disappear.

They had to determine the direction as soon as possible and leave this place quickly.

Wei Qing knew that she was useless, tears were in her eyes as she blamed herself.

Xiao Qingqian saw from the corner of his eyes that Wei Qing had shriveled up her mouth and held her hand, "Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault."

When had a woman who lived in a room ever come to the desert?

Xiao Qingqian took a deep breath, "I can only use the sun to determine the direction."

"We won't get lost, will we?"

Xiao Qingqian shook his head.

"I'm really a piece of trash!" Wei Qing scolded in frustration.

"You were able to find this oasis."

Wei Qing blushed as she looked at him, and then said with a stiff smile, "It was the horses that brought me here."

Hearing this, Xiao Qingqian's smile became even deeper.

"What are you laughing at?"

"The fact that the horses listened to you and brought you here means that you are very lucky!"

Wei Qing was actually amused by him, she grinned, and leaned on his shoulder.

They rested in the oasis for another night. With the help of firewood, the two of them were no longer awkwardly hugging each other to keep each other warm.

The next morning, they left the oasis and prepared to leave the desert.

Perhaps they were really lucky, or perhaps the horses knew their way and had actually brought them to the low ground where they had piled up the sand.

Wei Qing and Xiao Qingqian looked at each other, both of them very excited.

Xiao Qingqian reconfirmed his direction and finally walked out of the desert before the sky turned dark.

After exiting the desert, Wei Qing saw the grass that had already turned a pale yellow, and laid on the ground, greedily smelling the fragrance of the earth.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qingqian only felt that it was extremely funny.

"Qing`er, you're just like a child."

Wei Qing turned her head to look at him, "Really?"

"Once we leave the desert, it will be easier to deal with." Xiao Qingqian took a sip of water.

"I wonder if the dark guards have sent any news over during this period of time."

"When the gods and ghosts return to the capital, everything will be revealed."

Wei Qing nodded.

"Let's find an inn first and have a good rest for the night. Tomorrow, we will be on horseback."

Wei Qing acknowledged and said, "I will listen to you."

The small town near the desert exuded an ancient and unadorned feeling.

Xiao Qingqian picked an inn and walked in with Wei Qing.

Wei Qing looked at the Lady Boss and exclaimed.
