Chapter 523 The desert is ruthless and people are affectionate
After all, Qiluo still hugged Chu Huan and fell asleep. Of course, Chu Huan could not do anything while Qiluo fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning, Chu Huan felt a little embarrassed when he saw Mei Niang's charming face, but he was calm and calm on his face. Mei Niang seemed to be fine.
The last eagle meat was divided into three portions. The last time I ate was yesterday evening. Each person was just half a piece of meat, and he had already been empty. In the desert, the physical energy was consumed the most. When the three of them used up their last food, Chu Huan had already smiled faintly and said, "You two are also mentally prepared. If there is no food in the next two days, we will definitely die!"
Both Mei Niang and Qi Luo knew that the situation was very serious. Qi Luo frowned, but Mei Niang smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm not afraid of dying with you."
When moving north, Chu Huan sometimes thought in his heart that the 100,000 troops of Xiliang survived the desert, and the financial resources and materials consumed were probably astronomical. No wonder the Western Liang army was reluctant to withdraw. For the Western Liang army, every advance of the Qin Dynasty was not easy.
In fact, he really wanted to know why the people of Xiliang were seeking peace in the middle. Before he left Luoan, he thought about finding out the reason. However, now he is in the desert and whether he can go out is a problem. Naturally, he can't think too much about it. However, he occasionally remembered that a hundred thousand troops crossed the desert. As His Majesty the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty said, the people of Xiliang must have a conveying line in the desert, and the scale of that conveying line must be very large. However, he did not see any trace of silk all the way through it, but he didn't know where the conveying line was located in the vast desert.
Without the Western Liang soldiers, even the shadow of the sand bandits could not be seen.
In the reality, Chu Huan was most worried about food. He secretly prayed in his heart that God could give the eagle, but God was not so generous this time. He didn't see a eagle for a whole day. By the next day, Chu Huan could still support himself, but Mei Niang and Qi Luo had already shown extremely weak. Their walking speed had been greatly reduced, and their legs were like lead, and they couldn't walk fast at all. By noon, they were hungry and thirsty. In addition, they were extremely hot, Qi Luo fell to the ground first. Mei Niang just walked four or five steps longer than her and fell down.
Chu Huan heard the movement behind and turned around. Seeing both women lying on the ground, he hurriedly walked over with his lead-like legs, knelt on the sand and picked up Mei Niang. Mei Niang's lips were chapped and bloody. When he opened his eyes, his once charming eyes were no longer full of spirit, dull, and his lips, which had a trace of blood, moved slightly, and his voice was hoarse: "I can't walk out...we can't walk out..."
"Still hold on!" Chu Huan's throat was dry and it seemed that there was a fire burning his throat. He was even copper-skinned and iron bones. At this point, he really couldn't hold on. His body seemed to be numb, but his spirit told himself that as long as he was alive, he must hold on. "Maybe we can hold on for a while, we can walk out in front...!"
"Mei Niang...Mei Niang can't hold on anymore..." Mei Niang's eyes were very heavy, and she closed her eyes, "Brother Huan... Thank you... Thank you for taking me here. I'm already... very grateful. I can't hold on. I really can't hold on... There is no food, we can't walk out of the desert..."
Chu Huan knew that if you say inspirational words at this time, it was nonsense. You hadn't eaten for almost two days, and your physical strength could no longer support them to move forward.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The sky was clean and there was no goshawk.
Are you really going to die here?
"I would rather...die here than...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go...go!
Chu Huan's expression was solemn, and his voice was hoarse: "You take a break first, I'll wait for you..." He almost gave up hope at this moment, and knew in his heart that Mei Niang and Qi Luo might not be able to wake up again as long as they close their eyes and fall asleep.
"If you want to go on, there is only one way...!" Mei Niang's lips moved slightly, her voice weak: "There is someone who is destined to not...cannot continue to go on..."!"
"What do you mean?"
Mei Niang opened her eyes hard again, her face was already bitter. She lifted one of her hands with all her strength, placed it on her lips, and bit her hands with her teeth, "You... do you understand?"
Chu Huan understood and shook his head and said, "Even if we are all dead here, we can't do this. We are humans, not beasts!"
Mei Niang sighed and stopped talking, as if she was already asleep.
Chu Huan gently put down Mei Niang and arrived next to Qiluo again, but found that Qiluo was motionless, her breath was weak, and she had already fallen into a coma.
...
...
Mei Niang really doesn't want to leave anymore.
She only felt that every step she took forward was a torture. She lay on the hot sand, feeling that her breath of life seemed to be weakening, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Let’s just come here, this is the end of your life.
A drop of blood pressed against her chapped lips, the second drop, the third drop...!
The blood was hot, and Mei Niang moved her lips. Although she could no longer open her eyes, she once again had hope in her heart. Last time she was about to die, Chu Huan got an eagle. It seemed that there was no way out, and this time she got an eagle in time.
Mei Niang's lips moved, allowing blood to flow into her throat.
The smell of blood was very strong, but after entering her throat, it was enough to restore her signs of life. When she opened her eyes in a daze, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on her body. She forced herself to sit up and looked back and forth, but found that Chu Huan was lying not far away, and saw Qi Luo struggling to stand up from the ground.
Mei Niang also got up, Qi Luo had already walked towards Chu Huan, and Mei Niang also staggered over. She saw Chu Huan lying on the ground motionless, and felt an ominous feeling in her heart. She accelerated her steps, but found that Chu Huan had one hand horizontally on her chest and the other hand holding her arm. The wrist was wrapped in a cloth scarf, which was a little red.
Mei Niang saw that there was no sign of an eagle beside Chu Huan. She understood something, and she rolled over to Chu Huan and hugged Chu Huan. Seeing Chu Huan's lips closed, her eyes closed, tears flowed down for a moment, and she said in a trembling voice: "Why are you so stupid? What can we do if we die together like this?"
Qi Luo had already walked to Chu Huan and knelt beside him. Seeing Chu Huan unconscious, she asked in surprise: "What's wrong with him... what's wrong with him?"
Mei Niang saw the blood on Qiluo's lips, stared at Qiluo viciously, and suddenly picked up Chu Huan's blood-drinking knife and pointed it at Qiluo's chest, "Do you know that because of you, our food will be gone so quickly, otherwise he wouldn't be like this?"
Qi Luo was not afraid. Seeing that Chu Huan was motionless, she did look worried and said, "What's wrong with him?"
"Look at the wound on his hand." Mei Niang's tears slid down her cheeks, "We come back to life because of his blood..."
Qiluo understood, bit her lip, and stared at Chu Huan blankly. Soon, her tears also flowed down.
Mei Niang looked at Qi Luo with hatred, then changed her gaze and looked at Chu Huan's firm face, "Why are you so stupid? We... how can we be worthy of you?" She turned her wrist suddenly, and the blood-drinking knife flashed, and her forehead had broken her arm, and blood flowed out. She put the wound to Chu Huan's lips, and the blood dripped into Chu Huan's mouth.
Qiluo was already crying like rain at this time and said softly: "It turns out that there are good people in Qin people... He is the best person I have ever seen..." He pulled out his small scimitar from his waist, cut his arm without hesitation, and brought the wound closer. The arms of the two women were pressed together at this time, allowing their blood to fall into the man's mouth. They were willing to flow all over their bodies and hoped that the man would survive.
"Chu Huan, if you want to die, let's die together!" Mei Niang stared at Chu Huan's face, and her voice became softer: "If Mei Niang dies like this, it will be a very happy thing!"
Qiluo looked at Mei Niang, and her expression seemed very firm: "I know you don't like me, and I have thought of killing you, but... you are all good people, and I am willing to die with you. When you die with you, my soul will be holy, and will enter the Pure Land with your soul...!"
She closed her eyes, and seemed to be chanting something softly. Mei Niang looked at Qi Luo, and the hatred in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she sighed: "We are all going to die, and the grudges in the world are over. Whether it is going to heaven or under the underworld, let's go together!" Her arm was pressed against Chu Huan's lips, her body gently bent down, and her face was pressed against Chu Huan's forehead, with a calm smile on the corner of her mouth.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud cry of goshawks from afar.
Mei Niang was quietly pressing against Chu Huan's forehead, and Qi Luo was also chanting softly, but the eagle crow was extremely clear. The two of them looked up at the same time and looked into the distance. They saw a huge goshawk flying from north to south.
Mei Niang's eyes lit up and she ordered: "Lying on the ground, don't move, don't move no matter what happens!" After that, she was already lying on the ground first. Qi Luo was very obedient this time and lay down.
The goshawk came from the north and saw a few people in the desert motionless, hovering in the air for a while, suddenly diving down, with the eagle's claws like hooks, this time he grabbed Mei Niang again.
The goshawk roared down, with wind blowing the sand surface and turning the yellow sand up. The goshawk was close to Mei Niang. The huge size almost covered Mei Niang. Mei Niang's silver teeth were tightly clenched. She had only seen Chu Huan kill the eagle before, but she had never tried it, but after all, she had the skill to do her best. Although her body was still weak, she still tried her best to find the right opportunity. Holding Chu Huan's blood-drinking knife in her hand, the knife flashed by, and it had already chopped on the goshawk, but its strength was weaker in the end. The goshawk was the most tenacious bird. It failed to cut into serious injuries with a knife. The goshawk fell on the ground, struggling to fly again.
Mei Niang slashed over with a knife, and her strength was exhausted. Seeing that the eagle was injured, it seemed that it could still flap its wings and fly. She was very anxious. The appearance of this eagle could even allow the three of them to escape from death. If they really flew away, they would definitely die.
At this moment, he felt a flash of figure beside him, and Qiluo rushed over without hesitation. Qiluo was plump and strong, and when he rushed out, he was extremely fierce, like a female leopard. Before the eagle could get up, he had already pressed the eagle under his body. The small scimitar in his hand cut down on the eagle's head without hesitation.
Her small scimitar was very sharp. With all her strength in this way, she cut off the head of the eagle and spurted out blood. Mei Niang said anxiously: "Give it up quickly and give Chu Huan blood..."
He heard Chu Huan's hoarse but calm voice in his ears: "There are two tigresses, how can one eagle escape...!" He had actually woken up from his coma and opened his eyes.
Mei Niang heard the sound and turned her head. She saw Chu Huan lying on the ground with her eyes open, looking at her, and was surprised. She threw herself on Chu Huan's body, and cried with joy. She slapped Chu Huan's chest with one hand, crying and scolding: "You fool, do you know that you scared me to death. I thought...I thought I could never hear your voice again..."—
