Chapter 1288: Strong Wind at Night

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple came strolling over like a free and easy cloud and crane. His eyes fell on Ye Zifen, as if he was amazed by her beauty.

He exclaimed: "You are really amazing, little girl. You built a shed like this so skillfully. You must have a lot of experience in staying in the wild, right? It's really admirable!"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen just smiled slightly and responded softly: "Your Excellency is too kind. In fact, I have never experienced such a situation before, so naturally I can't talk about any experience."

Upon hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister could not help but touch his nose in embarrassment, and then found a relatively clean place nearby and sat down on the ground.

Ye Zifen walked lightly to one of the trees and carefully led her horse to the tree so that it could feel a little warmth.

Seeing this, the other servants also hurried forward and led a few horses over.

After they all sat down, the wind became stronger than before, and the whistling wind blew up sand, dust and fallen leaves all over the sky, as if the sky and the earth were covered by a layer of gray gauze.

At this moment, Ye Zifen's horse lay quietly behind her, as if doing its best to help its owner resist the invasion of wind and sand.

Several people around witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel a little bit unbelievable.

However, Ye Zifen just patted the horse's head gently and said calmly: "Just take care of yourself, I'm fine."

The horse seemed to understand Ye Zifen's words. It turned its head and exhaled, then quickly turned its head back to its original position.

It seems determined to stick to this special post and refuses to slack off in the slightest.

Ye Zifen shook her head helplessly, and sighed in her heart: This horse has been with her for the longest time, and can be said to be the most arrogant and conceited of all horses.

Because of this, other people are reluctant to use it, but Ye Zifen is not picky, so she stays with it the longest.

Who could have expected that at this critical moment, this usually extremely proud horse would show such a touching side?

In an instant, an inexplicable feeling of emotion surged into Ye Zifen's heart, and she couldn't help but be moved.

In such bad weather, it would be difficult to see anything even during the day, let alone at night.

One of the servants couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately we didn't continue on our journey. The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was mixed with all kinds of messy things. It was hard to see clearly in the distance. If we had rashly entered the mountains, we would definitely have lost our way."

At this moment, everyone was feeling scared, but also extremely grateful.

The Dali Temple Minister frowned slightly, thinking to himself, it is really shameful that so many men are outdone by a little girl!

Fortunately, other people are not familiar with the situation, so it won't be too embarrassing.

In such weather, the howling wind made the people who were warming themselves by the fire gradually feel extremely thirsty.

Ye Zifen took out her water bag from her bag and just gently moistened her throat and lips with it.

Then he took out a handful of beans and gave the horse a sip of water.

Then he put the water bag down.

Because we are not sure how far we have to go to find water, we must save water.

When others saw Ye Zifen drinking water, they also took out their own water, but they were not as wise as Ye Zifen. Instead, they drank the water in big gulps.

Seeing this, Ye Zifen quickly reminded them, "Everyone should save some water. We don't know where the water source is ahead, and we don't know how long this strong wind will last."

After giving this reminder, Ye Zifen said nothing more.

The Dali Temple Minister and several of his attendants quickly put away the water bags in their hands and stopped drinking water.

At this moment, the atmosphere around them suddenly became awkward. One of the servants tried to break the uncomfortable atmosphere and asked cautiously, "Ms. Ye, are you hungry?"

However, after he said this, he felt even more embarrassed.

After all, they stopped just now to eat.

However, no one expected that the weather would suddenly turn bad.

Ye Zifen did not respond to the servant, but said: "Let's not talk about these useless topics anymore, and think about what to do next! In my opinion, we can take turns to be on duty and keep watch. Make sure the fire doesn't go out, and the rest of you can just sit back and rest. After all, we still need to move on, but it's not clear how long this strong wind will last. We can only continue on our way when the wind subsides a little."

The Dali Temple Minister nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, and said, "I suggest that we take turns in pairs, with our people taking charge first. Little girl, you don't need to keep watch with us."

Ye Zifen had no objection to this arrangement. She thought that since someone offered to let her rest, why should she pretend to be hypocritical and refuse?

"Well, I'll take a break. You guys can make your own arrangements!"

After Ye Zifen finished speaking, she sat down cross-legged as if she was familiar with it, closed her eyes, and began to meditate and rest.

The horse behind him seemed accustomed to his owner's behavior. It just looked back at Ye Zifen and then gently placed its head on the haystack that Ye Zifen had specially placed beside him.

Interestingly, this was supposed to be hay for the horse to eat, but now it used it as a comfortable mat.

Although her eyes were closed, Ye Zifen's keen hearing could still sense changes in the external environment.

The sound of whistling wind continued to be heard, as if nature was in anger.

The sand and gravel hit the outer layer of cloth violently, making a crisp sound.

If Ye Zifen didn't have enough confidence in the quality of her own cloth, she would probably worry whether the sand would penetrate the cloth.

She prayed silently in her heart: I hope that the strong wind will stop at dawn tomorrow so as not to affect their journey for the rest of the day.

At this time, the people nearby had already discussed the matter and then they divided the work and took action.

Some people chose to rest peacefully, while others were responsible for watching over the fire.

When Ye Zifen opened her eyes again, it was not yet dawn and the flame beside her had become much dimmer.

The companions around me also fell asleep quietly.

She knew she was awakened by the cold.

Ye Zifen quickly threw a few thin firewoods into the fire. The flame was like a hungry child, which could not wait to rush up when it saw the food. After the flame came up, she threw in a few thicker ones.

Because it suddenly became warmer, a servant next to him opened his eyes.
