Chapter 165： Cross the Gobi

Chapter 165 Crossing the Gobi

The strong winds on the Gobi Desert have never stopped, which made the already dry summer even more dry. Most of the villagers' lips had lost a layer of skin and cracked along the way. They were also covered in headscarves, otherwise the sun would quickly peel off the skin.

A carriage was parked by the bushes. It seemed that there was no locust plague here. Several horses were eating the leaves from the bushes.

"Father and mother, drink some water, there is still a little water, maybe they can find water after Sister Yin and the others."

A little girl handed a water gourd to the couple.

"Silly boy, how can you find water in the deserted Gobi? My parents are not very thirsty now, Fang Fang and my brother should drink."

Fang Tianhai touched his daughter's head with his big, cracked hand. All the water they had left was in this little gourd, and the water in it was less than half. In addition, there were two children who wanted to drink water. Dry tongue, but dare not drink too much.

"Sister Yin is lucky, she will definitely be able to find water."

Fang Fang said firmly.

"The two children have been out for a while, why haven't they come back."

Wang Hanxiang looked at the vast distance and was a little worried. Hundreds of them had been resting for almost an hour at the big rock sheltered from the wind. The two children said they were going to find water for everyone, but they have not come back yet.

"Could you be lost?"

The Ma Cuihua family on the side of    is also very worried. They have walked in the Gobi for a few days and they have the same scenery. If there are mummies lying on the road from time to time, they are really worried that ghosts are hitting the wall.

"No, don't forget that Young Master Xiao is still here."

Luo Dazhi now admires Xiao Xuan in all respects. In the past, he only thought that there was a sick child in the Yin family. Who would have thought that this journey would be like turning into a tiger, no matter if it was a wolf or a villain.

"came back!"

Someone shouted, and the villagers stood up and looked into the distance. At first, it was just a small black spot, but gradually they could see clearly that Xiao Xuan, dressed in white, was driving a carriage toward them. Come.

"You are finally back."

Yin Bowu strode forward, the two only said to look for water, not even Yunjiang.

"How is it? Did you find water?"

Rose Suying squeezed up and asked.

"I found it, there's a lake that's about to dry up, but it fills everyone's water anyway."

Yin Miao pulled out a wooden box without a lid when she got out of the car. Inside were wooden barrels and gourds and other containers handed over by the villagers.

"Girl Yin really found water?!"

Wei Lizheng didn't report any hope at first, and he was inevitably excited at this moment.

"Yes, Lizheng, I said Yin girl and the others will definitely find something good."

Zhang Fugui came out happily holding a pile of bamboo tubes, these heavy bamboo tubes are also their hope in the future.

After eating jerky for several days in a row, many people had blisters on their tongues. Coupled with the extreme drought, the villagers who received the water didn't care about opening the bamboo tubes and drank it.

"We brought a lot of water bladders. You can come and get water after you finish drinking."

Yin Miao looked at the villagers who raised their heads and finished the last drop of water, and felt a little unbearable in her heart.

Although using a lot of water from the lotus pond will affect the next upgrade, these waters are still worth drinking.

Can I still get water?

Liu Jinxi only had a gourd filled with water. Even if he was reluctant to drink it, he had already drank half of it. Now, seeing that some villagers went to the carriage to pick up the water, he hurried forward.

"This water is so sweet and thirst-quenching."

"I feel like I'm alive again!"

"It's really thanks to Yin girl and Xiao Gongzi."

“…”

After drinking the water, the villagers set off on the road one after another. Today is the fifth day for them to cross the Gobi. Although the road is difficult, it is fortunate that there have been no wolves in the past few nights, and they have not encountered Beirou soldiers. .

As the villagers reached the evening of the sixth day, they could vaguely see the village not far ahead.

The village was hidden in the mist of the setting sun. Although the surrounding area was still surrounded by dead trees, it also made everyone excited.

They can finally see people.

But when the road-exploring carriage returned, Yin Miao saw Xiao Xuan walking down with a solemn expression.

"What happened?" Yin Bowu also smelled a different breath.

"Everyone in this village is dead."

After Xiao Xuan finished speaking, the villagers who were overjoyed just now were shocked.

"What happened? How could it be..."

"Did all Beirou soldiers come here?"

"Did the brute do it?"

The villagers asked one after another.

"It is not ruled out that Beirou soldiers did it."

Xiao Xuan replied that although the corpses of the villagers were not placed in a tower shape, judging from the situation in the village, it was still very likely that they were Beirou soldiers.

"damn it!"

Wu Xiangming cursed bitterly, there were his former acquaintances in this village, and he did not expect that even here would not escape bad luck.

"We've been in the Gobi for six days, how come these savage soldiers are ahead of us?"

"It seems that this place is not completely safe."

Mrs. Zhang was very worried. Was it not just the border that suffered?

"If you rush through the Gobi, it will only be a day and a night, so it is not surprising that Beirou soldiers appear here. I hope everyone will continue to be careful."

Xiao Xuan said.

"Then are we going to bypass this village?" Yin Bowu looked at the dead air in front of him, no wonder he always had an ominous premonition.

"We went in just now to take a look, it's better to bypass it."

However, Xiao Xuan's suggestion was not approved by everyone, and some villagers still wanted to go in and find out if there was anything to eat.

"We found a lot of good things last time, isn't it a waste not to find them here? Do you think so?"

Russell asked.

"Yeah, I heard before that Xiaomu Village here is much richer than Damu Village, let's go take a look."

The villagers were also moved when they remembered the supplies they found last time.

Yin Miao glanced at Xiao Xuan helplessly, since he said that it is best to detour and walk away, then there is a certain truth.

This Xiaomu Village, they don't plan to go in.

Wang Yishuang wanted to take Feiyao and Kaori to take a look, because she still regretted not following along to find supplies last time, this time she had to go and see everything.

"Fei Yao is not going."

Zheng Feiyao was feeding Su Wanfeng's horse, and Su Wanfeng and Granny Hua didn't plan to go in either.

"I knew this child was unreliable, Kaori, you and A-Niang go in together."

Wang Yi glared at Zheng Feiyao, the more she looked at Zheng Feiyao now, the more she felt unpleasant.

"Okay auntie."

Kaori quickly jumped off the carriage, she walked past Zheng Feiyao and smiled, then followed Wang Yishuang unhurriedly.
