Chapter 63: Be obedient and eat meat
Chapter 63 Be obedient and you will eat meat
The shackles on the necks seemed to make the wolves very uncomfortable. They shook their necks, as if they wanted to shake off the shackles, but no matter how hard they struggled, it was of no avail.
"Don't struggle anymore, if you can't run away, just go forward honestly."
"Aw! Aw!" The wolf stared at Su Ying angrily.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, sneered contemptuously, and pulled the leash in her hand, the wolves howled.
Those wild wolves wanted to run elsewhere, but as soon as they moved, the lock collar on their necks would send out an electric current, forcing them to return to the team, and they could only let Su Ying lead them forward, like a leash. dog!
The wolf stared at Su Ying angrily, his eyes seemed to have been greatly humiliated, but there was nothing he could do.
Su Ying grinned, "Be obedient, I'll give you a bite of meat, let's go."
Because she had two injuries, Su Ying was not fast. According to her current speed, she should be able to join the team before they reached Yanxi Pass.
In order to speed up the progress, Li Da asked the prisoners to get up and prepare to go before dawn.
"Master Guan, do you still have water? I haven't had any water for two days. Please give us some water."
A prisoner struggled to get up from the ground and begged.
"I, I have no water, please give us a sip of water, Mr. Guan."
The officer said viciously: "There is no water, and there is no water in the bucket. If you don't want to die of thirst on this Gobi Desert, hurry up and hurry."
"What? No more water?"
The bad news spread in the team in an instant. It will take several days to reach Yanxi Pass. If there is no water now, how will they survive?
Xiao Jin listened to the news from the front, and asked Cheng Ming to tell everyone to protect their water bags. When Su Ying was around, their water buckets and water bags were full. There is a little water under the water, if the prisoner is thirsty
It is extremely unknown what will happen.
"It's the master, I'll let everyone put away the water bags first."
Xiao Jin nodded, "Before arriving at Yanxi Pass, don't regenerate the fire for cooking, and everything should be dry food."
Cooking requires water. If people see that they still have water for cooking, they will definitely think that they still have a lot of water in their hands, and it is easy to get malicious.
"clear."
Everyone knew that there was no water in the water bucket pushed by the official, and they couldn't help but panic. They were worried that they would die of thirst on the road, so even though many people were thirsty and uncomfortable on the next journey, they didn't want to drink an extra sip of the water bag. Only water remains.
Li Da only had one water bag left in his hand. If he followed the previous path, it would be impossible to make it to Yanxi Pass.
"Old Huang, you have walked through the Gobi Desert quite a few times. Do you think it is possible to go that way?"
The official called Lao Huang let out a bad breath. He is much older than Li Da. After running this trip, he will be able to retire to take care of his life. Otherwise, it will not be Li Da's turn to be the team leader this time, right? He knows the terrain of the Northern Wilderness better.
"You want to take a shortcut?"
Li Da frowned and said, "If you don't leave, we're all going to die. I only have half the bag of water left, and I can't hold it." As he spoke, he reached for Lao Huang's water bag and shook it. less than his.
"It is in the center of the raging sand and dust, and you have to be careful of the quicksand under your feet. Are you not afraid of dying there?"
"But if we go there, the distance from us to Yanxi Pass can be shortened to less than two days at least, and we will be able to reach our destination in less than two days. "
Old Huang disagreed, the risk of taking a shortcut is much more terrifying than having no water, "Don't be rash, you can't go out of that place."
Li Da gritted his teeth and looked at the prisoners at the back of the line: "Those people wearing iron chains are not easy to mess with, if they run out of water on the way, do you think they will let us go?" ? It’s not like they can’t kill people and drink blood to quench their thirst! It’s just a knife to stretch and stretch, so let’s give it a go!”
Old Huang still disagreed, and he wanted to persuade him again. Li Da seemed to have made up his mind. He opened the map and looked at it. When the team came to a fork in the road, he walked towards it without hesitation.
Old Huang looked at the unaware crowd, his brows were tightly knit, and he could only grit his teeth and follow.
Not long after the team continued to move forward, Xiao Jin noticed a change in the environment. There were more sand and gravel on the ground than before, and the wind was stronger.
He called the children who were still playing with the cattle and sheep to the cart, and even the sheep were **** with ropes and tied to the side of the cart to pull the cart with the cattle, "Uncle He, get in the cart and ask them to move their position." , everyone get in the car."
He Shouyi traveled all over the country and realized that something was wrong, so he quickly packed up his things and went to the carriage behind.
Because everyone got into the carriage, the carriage suddenly became crowded.
Mrs. Sun's few originally not spacious spaces became even narrower.
"Everything is put on the car, and you don't look at who you are?"
"If you don't like it, get out." He Shouyi has long since disliked Aunt Sun, and if it wasn't for Wang Lang's face, he would have slapped him.
Aunt Sun was not happy to be scolded, but she wanted to say more but was held back by her daughter-in-law Zhou, "Mother, please stop saying a few words."
Although Zhou felt that it was Xiao Jin who caused them to be like this, but things had come to an end. Obviously, life with Xiao Jin and the others was much better than before, and she was content, at least her husband would not have to die, but with Mrs. Sun like this, she was worried that sooner or later something will happen.
Aunt Sun raised her hand in displeasure and slapped Zhou on the face, "It's not your turn to interrupt my mother's speech. If it weren't for you Kefu, your husband-in-law would be in this bad luck?"
"Mother, you've had enough, if you want to act like this again, go down!" Wang Lang saw that Zhou's face turned red from the beating, and he was also very angry.
"Why, I'm not doing it for your own good. If I hadn't found you, you would have died."
Wang Lang frowned, "Just say a few words less, the prince and the others don't owe me anything, I follow the prince and share weal and woe with him, I don't regret it."
"You're the only one stupid!" Aunt Sun saw that the people in the car were all glaring at her angrily, and then she fell silent.
Suddenly, a gust of sand and dust passed by, making the car curtains rattle, and a lot of dust was blown into the carriage.
Tian Mu tried his best to control the reins, so as not to let the cattle and sheep be blinded by the wind and sand.
But in the next moment, the wind and sand covered the sky and attacked them. For a while, it was difficult for them to see the team in front of them clearly.
Tian Mu panicked for a moment, he couldn't help speeding up, and finally saw Xiao Jin's carriage.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the front of the team mixed with the strong wind, and they couldn't go to the front to check the situation because of the blinding wind and sand.
Xiao Jin looked at the wind and sand all over the sky, and found a long rein from the inside of the carriage and handed it to Cheng Ming, "Stop the car first, and tie the two cars together with the rope."
Cheng Yang took the reins and jumped off the carriage, and his figure disappeared in the wind and sand in a blink of an eye.
