Jinyi Night Walk

"Brother, let's rest here for a while!"

On a leeward slope, Liu Yujue said to Xia Xun.Chinese website

Xia Xun nodded, and threw the knife in his hand on the sand with a clang. He walked to the height of the sand slope with difficulty, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

This area was even more desolate, without even snow. At a glance, it was full of yellow sand, and the undulating yellow sand stretched for thousands of miles. Xia Xun knew that they had now reached the heart of the desert, and couldn't help but feel even heavier.

There is no need to judge the direction according to the sunset in the west, he knew from a few days ago that he had deviated from the direction he should go.Now he is fleeing all the way in the southwest direction, and the pursuit is too tight. In the first few days, when he detoured in the northwest direction to Hami, he even met Timur's cavalry in front, and was chased more and more later. It's tight, I can't take care of other things, I just want to get rid of the pursuers first.

"The enemy has been chasing you!"

Xia Xun muttered to himself, his eyes fell on the sandy ground where the two of them passed by, there were two shallow camel footprints there, the footprints were originally relatively deep, but with the howling wind, now they are getting shallower a little bit , I believe that it only takes a while for it to disappear completely.

Now the sky is about to get dark, and at night, after a night of wind, not to mention the traces of two people, the traces of a hundred people will disappear, what is the pursuit of soldiers, has been accurate Captured his tracks?

Xia Xun has always been skeptical about this, and he didn't want to understand this point. Baidu Jinyi Yexing posted Huangmen Neipin to provide error-free text to deal with it. He believed that sooner or later he would be chased by the enemy. By then, maybe the two of them had already died. He ran away so much that he didn't even have the strength to struggle, so he could only obey and tie his hands.

He hadn't thought of hounds before, because there were too few people using hounds at that time, especially when he was crossing the vast sea, and a cavalry infantry was going to come from afar, directly intercept the vast sea, and find him. It is too difficult to carry out the whereabouts, so as to carry out robbery and killing. It is unimaginable that there will be hunting dogs in the long-distance raid.

In fact, it was not only that the Ming army did not use hounds, but also that when he fought against the grassland nomadic tribes in the north, he had never seen them use hounds on the battlefield.Therefore, Xia Xun inevitably committed the problem of empiricism, but he was accurately found by the chasing soldiers time and time again, and it was difficult to get rid of it. He was puzzled and had already thought of this possibility, because it could not explain the enemy soldiers shrewd.

It's not like he didn't know the unpleasant smell on the two camels. It was better when the camels were running forward, but when they stopped or when they were running with their backs, the foul smell was really unbearable. He and Liu Yujue They must cover their faces with face towels, which can not only block the severe cold and wind, but also filter the smell.Although it is difficult for a human nose to smell such a strong smell, it is actually not difficult for a dog's nose to smell it.

Xia Xun had already thought of this possibility, but it was useless to think about it. Could it be possible to abandon the two camels?In this boundless desert, when will they be able to go out with their two legs?Losing the camel here, it would be better to commit suicide at once,

Xia Xun sighed helplessly.

At the foot of the sandy slope, Liu Yujue let the two camels lie down together, and first took out some food and water for the camels from the untied large package. Fortunately, Feng Liyan chose these male camels that were in estrus, not only running fast, During this period, the appetite is also very small, otherwise the food that is carried is really not enough to watch.

Then he took out two frozen food boxes, touched the frozen simple food, Liu Yujue hesitated, took out a bag of drinking water, poured water into the special food box, the water in the food box immediately rolled over Get up, and white smoke comes out.

This is an easy-to-carry food that Xia Xun came up with before leaving Dunhuang, considering that 3000 people would eat horses, which would consume too much energy.Taking advantage of the severe cold that drips water into ice, we make food boxes with various foods such as cooked meat and rice. The inner layer of food is wrapped in tin foil, and the outer layer is put some lime. Just pour some water into it, and the quicklime will heat the water quickly. , so as to play the effect of heating rice.

If the temperature of the lime water is long enough, even eggs can be cooked, so it is easy to heat up a meal.

Liu Yujue only heated up a box of lunch, and stuffed the water bag cherishingly. They didn't know how long they would run away, and now they had entered a real desert, so he didn't dare to waste too much.

Liu Yujue greeted Xia Xun who was walking down the hillside with a steaming lunch box: "Brother, eat something, and then rest!"

"it is good!"

Xia Xun took the boxed lunch and felt the warmth in his hands. He frowned and said to Liu Yujue, "Next time, let's not heat up the meal and eat it cold. This is a big desert. It's hard to predict when we can go out. Drinking water must Save it! Right now, I just want to survive, but I can't be coquettish!"

"Yes, I understand!"

After Liu Yujue made a promise, Xia Xun sat down on the sand and said with a sigh of relief: "You also eat tools, take a rest, the road is still long!"

"Ok!"

Liu Yujue responded again, walked back to pick up a box of lunch, walked to the other side of the two camels, and started to eat with his back to him.

Xia Xun was waiting for him to come over to have dinner together. Seeing his actions, she was startled for a moment, then laughed and shook her head: "This Yujue, why don't you just say a few words about you, why are you acting like a big girl?" , Didn’t I have good intentions? Sigh! After all, you are a young master, how do you know the suffering of hunger and cold! The road ahead for our brothers will become more and more difficult!"

The sky is dim, and the east has already appeared pale.

Beside the sand dunes, there seems to be a squatting human-shaped stone, which is quietly placed there.

Suddenly, the "stone" moved. He raised his eyes to see the faint white light appearing in the sky, relaxed the old sheepskin jacket he was hugging tightly, stood up and moved his body a few times. This "stone" was Liu Yujue.

In the past few days, they lost a set of bedding, and the pursuit of soldiers became more and more urgent, and they became more and more tired. Once they fell asleep, they often looked like dead pigs, unable to wake up when there was any trouble. It was very dangerous, because sometimes the pursuers would come after overnight, so the two of them changed to one to watch the night and the other to sleep, and then changed when the time came.

Liu Yujue turned her head to look at the tightly covered wolfskin sleeping bag down the slope, and sighed softly.

The past few days of fleeing in the desert was a crime he had never suffered in his life.He was originally a son of a great family, well-clothed and well-fed. Even though his family was in decline, he never suffered much. If the hardships of these years are just mental experience, it is still a headache for him to encounter such a dangerous material and physical environment. Once.

But because of his brother Yang who accompanied him, Liu Yujue didn't feel the pain.

When Xia Xun looked around and saw the vast and boundless fields, with his determination, he couldn't help but feel discouraged, but in this respect, Liu Yujue was much better than him.Liu Yujue didn't have this kind of cognition. He only had one Xia Xun in his eyes. No matter how big the world was and how vast the desert was, he didn't see it in his eyes. He only saw Xia Xun alone, and Xia Xun was beside him.

Although the days of fleeing were bitter, he was very peaceful in his heart. This peace of mind and contentment was not affected by the despicable environment. On the contrary, he was able to watch over the most important people in his heart. Fortunately, only they For the two of them, in his opinion, the ups and downs and exhaustion along the way are like sweets, and the swords, lights, swords and shadows along the way have become romantic!

He really wanted Xia Xun to sleep a little longer. He knew that Xia Xun was not as relaxed as he was, and last night Xia Xun deliberately stayed on guard for more than half an hour before waking him up to take over. At the time Xia Xun ordered, he had to be woken up at this time, otherwise it would inevitably make the elder brother angry again.

Liu Yujue took a breath and was about to walk towards the bottom of the slope when his expression suddenly changed, as if he saw something.

Liu Yujue squinted his eyes and looked into the distance vigilantly. It was indeed a living creature. From a distance, it looked like a sand fox or some other desert animal?

But... the animal ran closer and closer. Although the long hair that looked like a head of hair looked a little strange and did not match the dogs seen in the Central Plains, but... it really looked like a dog. dog.

That is an Afghan hound, with an elegant figure and slender limbs, allowing it to run freely in the desert. It was originally a wild dog breed in the desert, and it was originally a desert fox, gerbil, etc. It feeds on living things, its speed can be imagined, when it gallops at full speed, it is much faster than a steed, even after being trained and raised successfully, when it catches prey, it will often drive the owner of the horse far away Leaving behind, chasing after and fighting prey alone.

It can run like flying in harsh environments such as deserts, hills, and rocky lands. It is extremely resistant to cold and heat, and its extraordinary ability to survive is a hundred times better than its beautiful appearance.

It ran all the way smelling the smell, and when Liu Yujue saw it, it obviously saw Liu Yujue too.With its head held high, a pair of golden eyes stared at Liu Yujue. Looking at its weird facial expression, Liu Yujue felt like a person who was in deep thought.The pricked ears trembled a few times vigilantly, it turned around suddenly, and ran away like an arrow.

dangerous!

A chill hit Liu Yujue's whole body, and he suddenly felt the danger. He didn't have a bow, because although his martial arts skills were high, his archery skills were actually poor, and Xia Xun was the same, so they didn't carry bows at all. Even if they did, look at that strange With the speed of a dog's wind, Liu Yujue was also very concerned about whether he could hit it.

"Brother, get up, it's dangerous!"

Liu Yujue staggered and ran down the sandy slope, hissing loudly, Xia Xun's head popped out of the sleeping bag suddenly, just after waking up, he regained clarity and vigilance in just a few blinks.

"Brother, hurry up! The enemy is here!"

Liu Yujue yelled in panic, and Xia Xun jumped out of the sleeping bag as soon as he jumped up. Just as he held the knife in his hand, a group of cavalry appeared on the sandy slope like a wave line in front of him, as if they had burst out of the gloom. The big horseshoe kicked the sand flying!
