Hot as China, cold as snow

It took nearly a night to correct the route. The fatigue of the two was secondary, but the water cut was a very serious matter. Without water, how long can they last in the desert?The two of them worked hard and did not stop, only hoping to get out of the sand world as soon as possible.The source of water is imminent.

Leng Xuanyan's eyes were shining brightly, this light was bloodthirsty and greedy, staring at Shan Ting's body, Shan Ting seemed to have checked his human nature, sniffed his nose in agitation, and stepped back hesitantly He took a step and rubbed young master Liu's body.Mr. Liu opened his arms to protect Shan Ting, shook his head vigorously, opened his eyes and shot at Leng Xuanren without blinking.

Leng Xuanren narrowed his eyes slightly, touched the hand in his bosom at some point, withdrew slowly, turned and moved forward.Only then did Mr. Liu put down his outstretched hands, took the rein of the horse, and followed.The two persisted for another half day, the sun had just set to the west, but the temperature was hotter than that at noon, and it was uncomfortable for people who were hot and sunburned.

Without any warning, Leng Xuanyan turned around and struck Liu Gongzi's face with one hand, and shot at Shan Ting with the thin blade in the other.Mr. Liu has been secretly on guard ever since Leng Xuanren turned his head back and stared at Shanting with green eyes.At this time, he was even more prepared when he saw it, and then he dodged sideways, pulled out the soul-binding hundred chains wrapped around his waist, drew a perfect arc in the air, cut off the thin-edged blade halfway, and saved Flash for life.

Sensing the murderous intent, Shan Ting raised his front hooves very uneasy, twisted his limbs to break free, and strung around in disorder.How could Leng Xuanren let it go, he was about to attack Shan Ting, but he didn't want to be entangled by the soul-binding hundred chains, he said: "Do you want to die? Don't pull me if you want to die. There is no food , no supplies, no water source, how can we persist until we go out, killing it will only benefit us and not harm us."

Mr. Liu said with a rare force: "No. Trust me, let it go, we can go out. If you don't trust me, don't you trust yourself? It's your own way, as long as you don't go wrong again this time. There is no way, no more than two days will definitely go out."

Leng Xuanren didn't listen to what he said, wanted to break free from the chain, but heard the horse's urgency, Mr. Liu looked back and saw the direction the horse's head was facing, there were scattered trees not far above the horizon, and there was a shallow water Wa, he slightly let go of the strength in his hand, amused: "Look, whoever said there is no water source, I know that Shining Ting is the best." He let go of the cold black blade: "See, it's not too far away The water source can be replenished, and if there are trees like that, it means that there is water in the ground." Leng Xuanyan broke free from the soul-binding chains wrapped around him, and rolled his eyes at him: "You don't know that there will be water in the desert. Is it a mirage? How can you easily believe what your own eyes see, if you follow along, you will lose your way again."

Mr. Liu was radiant, with piercing eyes, and said in a very confident tone: "No, I believe in my feelings. You don't know, my intuition is very accurate, especially when life and death are at stake, it's like being with someone. The innate ability is the same, it has saved me many times. And I can smell the smell of water and hear the sound of running water." He said and still pretended to be listening on the ground, lying on the ground , raised his head slightly, and fixedly looked at Leng Xuanyan: "Trust me once, just like trusting me once when we handed over our backs to each other in Mount Xutu." Leng Xuanyan didn't speak, But withdrew the weapon in his hand.Mr. Liu stepped forward to lead the horse, and led Shan Ting to move quickly in the direction of the tree shadow, with Leng Xuanyan following behind.Sure enough, after walking for a long time, I saw a green cactus. In the scorching sun, a piece of fresh green was particularly conspicuous. Shan Ting was the first to reach the cactus, and stretched out his hoof to go forward, but was stabbed by the thorns all over the cactus. He took a small step back, but Shan Ting was hesitant to step forward.Mr. Liu arrived later, touched the horse's head, comforted it symbolically, and squatted down carefully. This cactus is very big, and there is a small pothole not far from it.He broke off part of the palm leaves of the cactus, divided them into three parts, carefully removed the thorns on them, threw one part to Leng Xuanren, kept one part close to his body, and peeled the other part, squeezed out the tender juice, and poured it on He handed the palm of his hand in front of Shining.

Shining snorted, expressing his gratitude to his master, and without being pretentious, he licked Young Master Liu's palm, tickling it, which made Young Master Liu laugh out loud.After Shan Ting drank enough and shook his hair, Mr. Liu stood up from the ground, but he squatted for too long and got up too violently, his eyes were dark, and he couldn't stand still but was caught by the cold black blade. Hold on.Flashing was a little afraid of the cold black blade, and took two steps back.

He looked back and wanted to say thank you, but when he opened his mouth, a small piece of peeled cactus was stuffed into his mouth by the cold black blade. His body, which had been thirsty for too long, felt sweet and cool all the way down to his stomach, moistening his throat.

He chewed and smiled.Leng Xuanren ignored him, walked straight to the cactus, and stretched out his hand to continue breaking its leaves, but Mr. Liu grabbed his arm: "That's enough, let it live, it can save more people lost in the sand world." People and animals. I have another piece here."

"Enough, really enough? Don't you regret it?" Leng Xuanren raised his head and touched Liu Gongzi's light blue hair tip, which tickled his face.

"I don't regret it." Mr. Liu nodded hurriedly.

"Okay." Leng Xuanren clapped his hands and stood up, leaning against his ear and said, "Don't regret it when the time comes."

Walk along the route until the next morning when I met the cactus, I walked out of the sand world and saw the residents of the Chengtian Empire on the edge of the sand world.

In a small town, there is only one inn in the entire town. Although it is simple, the people coming and going are very complicated.Mr. Liu extravagantly asked for a large bucket of water, soaking comfortably in it, unable to open his eyes, his body slowly slumped, the water was about to cover his head.After two days and two nights without much sleep, my body was a bit overwhelmed.

He who was about to suffocate was vaguely lifted up by Leng Xuanyan with one hand, he opened his eyes sleepily, and when he saw Leng Xuanyan, he showed a habitual smile, but closed it with peace of mind.Leng Xuanren had already changed his clothes, his black hair was still dripping with water, and his eyes were shining brightly without being tired. He leaned close to Mr. Liu's face, and whispered with evil lips and raised eyebrows: "I really admire you, don't you? Do you want to be the first hero in the martial arts world to be drowned?"

"Isn't there you?" Mr. Liu replied vaguely, as if he was about to fall asleep.Leng Xuanyan just shook his head, mentioned him very rudely and threw him on the bed.Thinking it hurt from the fall, he moaned dissatisfiedly, rolled over on the bed, and fell asleep with the quilt rolled up.

Mr. Liu left the bedroom of the inn, and when he entered the lobby, he was blocked by a tall figure standing with his back to him at the corner of the table, blocking most of his sight. Ye Xuan was like a stone statue, motionless for a long time, he didn't even need to think about it Thinking about it, I knew that Leng Xuanren must be sitting at the table in a leisurely manner.He looked around, but there was no one else in the inn, presumably the people from the Suoming Building had arrived, and they had done a good job of clearing the place.The arrival of this group of bleak people added a sense of discord to this ancient and slightly small inn.He sighed, he couldn't get rid of the shadow of the Suoming Building, he could see it everywhere.

He and Leng Xuanyan met face to face, nodded at each other, and staggered them to the stable outside.After resting for a day and a night, and with enough water and fertilizer, Shan Ting is now very energetic, with his head held high and his chest held high.Mr. Liu took out a handful of white sugar that he found in the back kitchen of the inn, put it in the palm of his hand, and brought it in front of Shining Ting. Shining happily rubbed Mrs. Liu's arm, then lowered his head and licked the palm of his hand little by little. white sugar.

He likes this horse very much. When he finds out that Shining likes white sugar, he will give it to Shining from time to time as a reward.The horse's tongue licked his palm, feeling itchy and wet.

Fast-paced footsteps came from behind, the rhythm was fast but not chaotic, the steps were steady and powerful, Flash stopped licking, turned his back to the direction of the person coming, wagged his tail, kicked He kicked his heels and made a kicking gesture, which made Mr. Liu laugh out loud regardless of his appearance, turned around and looked at the person Leng Xuanren said: "It seems that Shan Ting still holds grudges very much, and remembers that you are going to kill him to eat meat things."

Leng Xuanyan's face was full of black lines, and he folded his hands on his shoulders: "Is it funny? Don't you know that you have to save your life when life and death are at stake? In Suoming Building, the prerequisite for killing is to save your life. If you want to complete the task alive, you have to ignore all the consequences, regardless of the consequences. All ways, even if I choose once, I will definitely kill it without hesitation."

Mr. Liu grinned, but couldn't laugh anymore, just looked at him and asked: "If one day, I become your hindrance? Will you kill me too?"

"Yes." He replied without hesitation.

Mr. Liu knew the answer to the question a long time ago, there was no accident, he was just a little disappointed, but he changed the subject and said: "You have already reached the boundary of the Chengtian Empire, you should restrain yourself even if you have prestige and reputation, how should you say it?" It's all in someone else's territory. I'm going back to Lingzhou. Don't you want to see the customs? Your people are here too. I don't think I need to lead the way to show you around. Why don't you just leave. I'll go back to mine Lingzhou, you do your own business."

"What? Are you afraid? What are you avoiding? Why are you, a dignified gentleman, afraid of getting involved with me, a murderous landlord with a not very good reputation in the world? Or are you afraid to go with me? Afraid, it will ruin your life Fame?" Leng Xuanyan approached him, half-closed his eyes, and exhaled dangerously in his ear.

"Who says I don't dare, I'm in a hurry to go back to Lingzhou. Besides, your men are here, and I can be used there." Warm breath rushed over his face, and Leng Xuanren's unique cold voice was next to his ears: "Look It seems that you are resistant to the Suominglou. Also, who let the Suominglou almost ruin your reputation."

"Okay, the guest is up to you. No matter how you say it, I can be regarded as the host. You can come with me. After arriving at Lingzhou, forgive me for not being able to accompany you any longer." Mr. Liu blushed slightly, but he was stubborn. Not wanting to show weakness, he stood up abruptly and looked at Leng Xuanyan at the same level, and asked in a provocative tone similar to Leng Xuanren's: "I'm going for a walk, why do you want to follow?" Ting's horse's head pulled the rein and galloped away very chicly.

The town is not big and is on the edge of the sand world, so there is really nothing to do.Even the color of the house is a yellow that blends with the sand world. White smoke rises from the high and low mud houses, and the playful children turn into small black spots and move slowly on the barren land. There was a wild dog chasing or barking, which made the poultry croak and flap their wings to earn a feather or two. In this poverty, one can faintly smell a sense of ordinary peace.

He sat down anywhere and leaned against a Populus euphratica tree and looked at the smog of the low house under the twilight from a distance. The child was babbling and toddling, with soft and envious eyes in his eyes. Holding the turquoise that was not much at all, he lowered his head and gnawed on it. The warmth made him so comfortable that he didn't want to move, and he couldn't bear to move. Time slipped away like this.

In the evening, the warm sunlight gradually turned cold, and it was no longer comfortable and warm for him to sit on the ground. Even if he didn't want to move, he had to get up. He patted the sand on his body and called Flash back.
