After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Qin Yaoguang's original plan was to take out two of the gold leaves and ask the chief to send someone to escort her out of the desert and back to the nearest town.

She believed that with Qing Bai and Su Bai's skills, they would be able to survive even if they were injured.

As long as they are alive, the delegation will try to find her.

When she reunites with the delegation and resumes her status as the eldest princess, she will give back to the tribe a large amount of supplies they need to help the young people in the tribe who want to leave the desert.

Unfortunately, all this is destined not to come true.

The chief of the oasis tribe will never know what he has lost.

Under Yan Yuanan's gaze, Qin Yaoguang carefully turned the pearl flower held by the golden phoenix on the hairpin, revealing the small grid inside.

She took out a pill from the small compartment, wrapped it carefully in a silk handkerchief and put it around her waist, then restored the Ruyi hairpin to its original shape.

Yan Yuanan watched her movements with some curiosity. Knowing that this pill was not simple, he remained silent and did not ask any more questions.

At this moment, a voice was heard at the door. It was Saihan.

Qin Yaoguang hurriedly stuffed the Ruyi hairpin under the carpet, stepped on it with her foot, and leaned on the table, pretending to be in a bad mood.

At the same time, Saihan opened the curtain and walked in.

After seeing Qin Yaoguang's appearance clearly, she asked anxiously: "Atuma, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

As he said this, he helped her up and went to get her some water to drink.

When Saihan's hand touched the cold teapot, he suddenly became very angry. He rushed out with the teapot in his hand and yelled a series of words that Qin Yaoguang could not understand at the two people guarding the door. His tone was urgent and fast.

Yan Yuanan translated to Qin Yaoguang in a low voice: "She said they locked you up and didn't even give you butter tea. This is not the way to entertain guests on the grassland."

He thought for a moment and added, "Saihan is a kind-hearted girl who can be used."

Qin Yaoguang was listening carefully at first, but when he heard him say "can be used", he couldn't help but feel amused.

In fact, she also knew that keeping her under house arrest and not giving her food and water were all intended to consume her physical strength and prevent her from escaping.

It is a very correct decision.

Although the oasis itself was a natural cage and it was difficult for her, a stranger, to get out without a guide, the chief still adopted the most cautious attitude towards his property.

The only thing he didn't expect was his daughter Saihan.

When Saihan came back in, he was holding a pot of warm butter tea in his hand. He poured two full bowls for the two of them, then sat down angrily.

"Atuma, they're going too far!"

She pushed the butter tea in front of Qin Yaoguang and started talking to herself: "I know everything. Father actually wants to marry you to Bater. In my opinion, it's better for you to marry my brother. He will definitely treat you well, and you can stay in our tribe forever."

Saihan held his cheek and looked at Qin Yaoguang expectantly: "Atuma, will you be my sister-in-law? If so, you can give birth to a baby next year. I will help you take good care of him. He will definitely be very beautiful!"

Fortunately, Qin Yaoguang didn't understand what she said, otherwise she would get goose bumps when she heard that she had even arranged for having children in the future.

Yan Yuanan lowered his head, analyzing the information contained in her words.

It's a pity that although she said a lot, there was no useful information. It only confirmed once again that Bater was a dangerous and unreliable person.

Qin Yaoguang waited patiently for Saihan to finish speaking, and gestured to ask: "Saihan, can you help me leave?"

Saihan didn’t understand what she said until she repeated it several times and gestured with her hands. Then she asked sadly, “Atuma, don’t you want to stay?”

Seeing Qin Yaoguang looking at her in confusion, she slumped her shoulders in frustration: "Father wants to marry you to Bater, you should go!"

Qin Yaoguang told her that she needed a horse, dry food and a water bag, and then took out a gold leaf and handed it to her.

Saihan had never seen such delicate and beautiful gold leaves. He happily took it and admired it for a long time. However, he was reluctant to give it back to her, saying that he could not have it.

"I'm not helping you for money," Saihan said with a firm look in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and drew a simple map on the ground. "I'll come to find you tonight. You follow the direction I drew and keep walking west. After two days and two nights, you will reach a small village in the Gobi Desert."

She circled a dot in the middle to indicate that there was a small oasis with water source for replenishment.

"This is the route map my brother takes every year. I remember it clearly."

A mixture of pride and frustration welled up on her face. "It's a pity that my father never allowed me to go out. He said that I just needed to get married and not think about those messy things."

After Saihan left, Yan Yuanan told Qin Yaoguang what she had said to herself.

Qin Yaoguang sighed. This was a girl who longed for freedom in her heart, but had to accept the fate arranged for her by her father.

"Mother, shall we take her with us tonight?" Yan Yuanan suggested.

Qin Yaoguang glanced at him with a half-smile: "Do you sympathize with her? Or do you want an extra layer of insurance?"

He didn't need to hide in front of his mother. Yan Yuanan touched his nose and said, "She is the chief's daughter."

The implication is, of course, the latter.

Saihan is the chief's daughter. Even if she is caught and runs away, the chief will not really do anything to her.

Moreover, she is a local. Even though she has never left this oasis since she was born, her familiarity with the desert is unmatched by the other two.

"We'll ask her what she wants tonight. If she's willing, we'll take her with us."

Qin Yaoguang is willing to help every woman who wants to change her destiny, no matter who she is, not just to use Saihan.

Even though she couldn't even protect herself now, she would never believe that after Bian Chen and Yan Changqing paid such a huge price to help her live again, she would marry in an unknown oasis for no apparent reason.

"When people go against the will of heaven, there is no way out of heaven."

This advice given to her by Bian Chen guided her in her struggle for survival during the most desperate moment in the desert.

At this moment, she moved forward with a determined goal.

There was no paper or pen in the house, or rather, the tribe did not yet have the ability to form written language.

Qin Yaoguang held the hairpin and drew the route map on the inside of the sheepskin coat she was wearing. Then she put the hairpin back close to her body and wiped the route map off the ground.

Yan Yuanan moved his lips but didn't say anything.

He has the entire route map engraved in his mind, so as long as he is around, he doesn't have to worry about not finding the way.

But what if I get separated from my mother?

As long as this possibility exists, it would be safer to have an extra roadmap from the mother.

With Saihan's care, the two drank butter tea and had a full meal.

But there was no food at night, so Qin Yaoguang asked Yan Yuanan to lie down and conserve his strength.

Away from the oasis, there is the harsh desert outside.

They had all experienced the coldness of the desert night, but night was also the best time to travel in the desert.

I don’t know how long it took, but the night fell completely quiet.

Qin Yaoguang broke off a small piece of the pill and dissolved it in hot water, then poured it into two large bowls and carried them to the door.
