Touch a corpse to fall in love

215 BC, the 32nd year of Qin Shihuang.

In the yellow sand all over the sky, the camel under him walked very slowly. Fusu sat on the camel, unable to distinguish the direction or the people around him.The skin on the face was tortured by the sun and wind and sand together, with a touch of pain and tension.Even with layer after layer of clothes wrapped around her body, she still couldn't hold back the tossing and tossing day after day.

It has been more than a month since they entered the desert. Except for the four desert towns they passed by, they have been staying in the desert or oasis along the way.Not to mention the prince of the royal family who has always been pampered, even some of the twelve guards who came with him this time could not survive. In this situation, Fusu himself is not sure whether he can survive to the destination.

The outline of a small town appeared faintly ahead.

A guard beside him came over and whispered in Fusu's ear in the wind and sand: "Young master, there is a town ahead."

Fusu squinted his eyes, regained his energy and sat down on the camel's back.

After half an hour, they finally entered the town.This is a desert town full of exotic customs, with simple folk customs and strange dresses, and even their language and religion are something Fusu has never heard or seen.

Very novel.

Xiao Rang and the chief guard guarded him on one side. Seeing a hint of curiosity and excitement on his usually gentle and elegant face, they paused at the same time when they wanted to stop him.Xiao Rang shook his head at the head of the guard, and the two of them looked at Fu Su squatting in front of a stall rummaging around as if nothing had happened.There was nothing particularly unusual on the stall, but Fusu was curious because he walked outside the palace and had never been to such a small country in the Western Regions.

Fusu took a fancy to a dagger.From the outside, there is nothing unusual about this dagger, but because it is black in color, unlike ordinary iron or bronze swords, it looks very unusual.Fusu put the dagger in his arms, and asked the guard to bring a piece of animal skin to the stall owner.This place is still in the form of bartering, and there are not many things he can exchange.

Along the way, Fusu changed into a long scarf to keep out the wind and sand, and then he was satisfied and stopped looking at the surrounding vendors.It happened that a guard reported that he had found a place to stay, so Fusu immediately turned around and led everyone to the place.The small town is not very big, but with a cup of tea, everyone walked to a house at the end of the town.Fu Su took a look at the surrounding environment and felt that this should be the only empty house in this desert town.

The house here is built of stone, circular, the outer ring is the house, but the inner is an empty yard.The advantage of this kind of construction is that it is strong, windproof and sand-proof, and it can also clear out a yard.

Everyone opened the door and entered. The guards took Fusu to the cleanest stone house in the courtyard and said, "My lord, you will stay for one night first. The subordinates have ordered someone to change the clean bedding." They called before entering the desert. Most of the animal skins still smelled fishy, ​​so the guards could still use them, but since they were in the town, they naturally couldn't use this kind of thing for the young master.

Fusu waved his hand: "No, just take two of the animal skins from before. If you have extra supplies, why don't you exchange some food and water." What is most lacking in the desert is food and water, and I don't know if I will be on my way tomorrow. How long will it take to find the next settlement.

Fu Su asked the guards to go down, just as Xiao Rang had already arranged the room, and walked over with the chief guard.

"Young master." Xiao Rang took the cloak that Fusu had taken off, and helped him straighten his clothes, "I see that there seem to be fruit trees planted in the town, is it..."

Fusu smiled and said: "Fruits are so precious in the desert. I'm afraid this town depends on those fruit trees. Let's not eat them." Of course Fusu knew that Xiao Rang just wanted to eat by himself, so he added, " Don’t treat me like a son here, you are all partners who live and die together, and you can’t treat me specially.”

Before Xiao Rang had time to reply, the chief guard at the side said: "My lord, you can think like this, but we absolutely can't. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, how can your subordinates overstep the rules."

Xiao Rang agreed: "It is true."

Fusu said, "I can't say enough about you."

Xiao Rang took out dry food and put it on the stone table, the chief guard turned around and went out to boil water, Fu Su sat on the stone kang and closed his eyes slightly, saying: "Don't bother, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest. Especially you, Ah Jean, I have been taking care of me all this way, and I need a good rest." Then he whispered, "The conditions are not very good, but it is much better than sleeping in the desert."

Xiao Rang raised his eyes and looked at Fu Su: "My lord, you are joking, Xiao Rang has been in the army for thirteen years. He has never slept in any place or encountered any difficulties. A journey of this level is nothing at all. It is Xiao Rang's blessing to be able to accompany the young master this time, not to mention hard work."

Fusu Jiang was still asleep, looking at Xiao Rang in a daze, the gentle woman flashed in his mind, and blurted out: "A Rang, do you blame me? I didn't take good care of your sister..."

Xiao Rang's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "No..."

Fu Su closed his eyes, and spoke wearily: "If I hadn't been too careless back then, Zheng Ji wouldn't have..."

"It's not the son's fault." After Xiao Rang finished speaking, he looked up at the other party.It was only then that he realized that the other party hadn't heard what he was saying at all. The man was leaning against the head of the bed, his face was pale, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked extremely tired and fragile.

Eight years ago, Fusu secretly cooperated with Xu Fu to steal He's Bi, but Zheng Ji broke the matter.Because Zheng Ji has the blood of the Xiao royal family, she was very afraid of He's Bi, and her body was always delicate, so she was so frightened that she fell ill and passed away not long after.During this period, Fusu also asked Xu Fu for help in treatment, but Zheng Ji's three souls and seven souls were frightened and left her position. Even Xu Fu couldn't save her. He could only ensure that her soul would not be swallowed by He Shibi, and she could be reincarnated. reincarnation.Fusu has been blaming himself for this incident, until Xu Fu Dongdu took Heshibi away four years ago, Fusu finally breathed a sigh of relief.He felt that the disappearance of He's Bi also meant that the hidden danger was eliminated.Whether it is the first emperor or anyone else, there is no danger of being backlashed for the time being.

Xiao Rang was speechless and didn't know how to comfort Fusu, so he could only silently watch him hurt.

"My lord, the water is ready." The head guard said standing at the door.

"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Fusu opened his eyes, calmed down his emotions, smiled and nodded at the chief guard, not noticing Xiao Rang's dark eyes.

The chief guard was about to ask the people waiting outside to bring in water, but Xiao Rang got up immediately and said, "Let me do it."

The chief guard touched his nose, looked at the stunned guard behind him, nodded and said: "Okay then. Call us if you need something." Then he whispered in Xiao Rang's ear, "The young master was injured on his shoulder, I saw him I've been subconsciously pressing my shoulders lately, please pay more attention."

Of course Xiao Rang knew that Fusu had been injured, and it was only five years ago to save him.He still remembers how Fusu was lying on the ground covered in blood.He pursed his lips and agreed, took the water and sent the head guard away.

First, he waited for Fusu to wipe his face and hands, and when he was about to change the water, Fusu stopped him and said, "Don't change it, the water in the desert is precious, don't waste it." Then he sat on the stone bed and was about to get off. Take off your shoes and socks.Xiao Rang quickly brought the water over and put it on the ground, pressed Fusu's hand, and helped him take off his shoes and socks.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Fusu hesitated, "I'll do it myself."

Xiao Rang pursed his lips and wet Fusu's feet with a cloth towel: "My lord doesn't understand."

Fu Su was taken aback, looked down at the handsome man with a serious expression, and couldn't help laughing out: "Yes, I don't understand." Seeing this brother-in-law whom he had known for more than ten years, Fu Su was warmly moved in his heart, "Our first You were so young when we first met, but now you are so old. But you are still so outstanding, do you know what my sisters said about you? They said that if you want to marry a wife one day, it must be among the princesses One of them, otherwise they won't let you live a comfortable life."

While giving Fusu a massage, Xiao Rang said coldly, "I was born in the same year as the young master, why does the young master always treat me as a child?"

"I don't know, it's probably because of your sister." What Fu Su said was true. Zheng Ji always talked about her only younger brother with a look of love and indulgence, making people feel that the other party seemed to be Average for a three year old.But in fact, Xiao Rang has never been a guy to worry about. He is so mature and steady that he can't even compare with many adults.Now, he is no longer disadvantaged in age, and no one can treat him as a child, except Fusu.

Xiao Rang lowered his head even lower, and the expression on his face was hidden where others could not see.His hands were very steady, and he wiped his feet little by little. The movements were gentle yet firm, and when he pressed them on the soles of his feet, Fusu's calf also felt sore, numb and swollen.

"There are many acupoints on the bottom of a person's feet. Pressing them can relieve fatigue. Master, please be patient."

Fusu nodded and smiled, "Okay, take it easy, it's very itchy."

Xiao Rang blinked at those white and tender feet, and his movements were much lighter: "I remember Mr. Xu said that ticklish people are soft-hearted."

Fu Su said: "That's right... But I have killed many people."

"Since the young master is sitting in this position, don't think too much."

Fusu looked at the meticulous man, then raised his head to look at the setting sun that was gradually brightening outside, and gave a soft "hmm".He was right, sitting in this position, too much involuntary, too much forced.

Xiao Rang helped Su check the old shoulder injury again, and after massaging and applying medicine, he went back to rest.

On the second day, everyone set off.It was another few days of rushing, no people, no vegetation, only the scorching sun and yellow sand everywhere.During the break on the eighth day, the chief guard and Xiao Rang studied the map brought by Fusu together.Fusu was sitting under the camel's belly and was carving something. He had been doing this for several days, and the guards were no strangers to it.

"It's clearly nearby, why can't we see anything?" The chief guard looked at the map upside down without giving up, but he couldn't figure out the mystery no matter what.

"Since it is a legendary country, it will not be so easy to find." Xiao Rang said indifferently, as if he was not in a hurry.

Fusu seemed to have finished the work in hand, got up and walked over and said, "No matter what, we can't stop." This is already the center of the desert, and the harsh environment is just one of them. What they have to beware of are the ferocious creatures in the desert. There is also a storm crisis that may approach at any time, what's more, there may be attacks and obstructions from mysterious countries.After all, it is a country that only exists in legends, so how could they be willing to expose it to the eyes of the world.Even if he is the royal family of Daqin, to these outsiders, he is nothing more than an outsider.

The long journey began again, and this time they followed the map for half a month without encountering a decent settlement or oasis.They walked farther and farther away from the human world, as if they were walking towards an endless void, towards a non-existent dimension, where there was emptiness and despair, no water, no people, only endless fatigue and confusion.

On the 16th day of No., Fusu looked at the exhausted team with a trace of unbearable in his eyes.They can't even find a decent shelter from the wind now, so they can only hide under the camel's belly to rest for a while.The food lasted for another two days at most, and the water was almost exhausted. Now only Fusu in the team can still drink a sip or two of water.

"My lord, drink some water." Xiao Rang took out the last half bag of water and handed it to Fusu.

"No." Fusu shook his head, and looked in the direction of the setting sun again, "It's night again." These days, they can only watch the sun rise and set to judge whether they have survived another day, and survived exhausted mentally and physically. It is already their only wish. They don't have the energy to think about the legend of Nuwa or the kingdom of immortality.It was under such circumstances that Fusu heard a distant call.The voice said, killing. Killing is the only key to open the door.
