Chapter 114
Everyone stood in front of the oasis and waited for a day and a night, but Princess Zhaoyang did not arrive as expected.
Prince Yimu suggested that everyone go to the Sand Hill Posthouse first, and Gu Yinwei agreed, so everyone immediately headed towards the posthouse.
Occasionally encountering one or two poisonous scorpions along the way, Prince Yimu and the others turned pale with fright, Yang Xiaohuan hid behind Gu Yinwei with a knife in his arms, Gu Yinwei blurted out a word.
"roll!"
The poisonous scorpions immediately dispersed and fled in a panic.
Yang Xiaohuan made up her mind to follow Gu Yinwei, sometimes leading the camel for her, sometimes standing behind her, Prince Yimu followed the two of them leisurely.
The sky was full of yellow sand in the eyes, and even the nose was hot after taking a breath. The woman on the camel wore a hood and was tightly wrapped, not a single drop of sweat fell.
Her eyes were shining like a clear spring. Prince Yimu also rode a camel, but his camel staggered, and the yellow sand was scorched by the sun, and even the camel couldn't bear it.
Gu Yinwei turned back and said: "Persevere, it will be there in half a quarter of an hour."
After hearing this, Prince Yimu was really confident and couldn't help speeding up his pace.
Yang Xiaohuan ate the noodle cakes for three days, and now she was both thirsty and greedy.
They all muttered and started talking nonsense, "Prince Yimu, when we arrive at the Dune Inn, I will invite everyone to eat roasted mushrooms."
Prince Yimu said: "I don't want to eat roasted mushrooms, I want to eat meat."
Yang Xiaohuan had a problem, the poultry in the sand dune station meant twelve roosters, he and Prince Yimu were not yet familiar enough to kill chickens to entertain him.
Along the way, Yang Xiaohuan was worried and depressed.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Sand Hill Inn, Yang Xiaohuan hung his head like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
He raises the chickens at the Dune Station from the chicks, and raises them to adults one after another. Killing his chickens is more painful than cutting his flesh.
Gu Yinwei saw Yang Xiaohuan's worry, and reminded: "The guards who went back to the capital earlier, it's time to turn back, and the new supplies have probably arrived."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaohuan's heart sank back into his stomach, and he let out a long breath.
Prince Yimu approached and chatted with Yang Xiaohuan: "Mr. Yang, what kind of meat do you like to eat?"
Yang Xiaohuan said: "I like to eat fish."
"We Mobei people like to eat mutton."
Yang Xiaohuan worried about it for a long time, but it turned out that Prince Yimu didn't like chicken at all.
He agreed: "It is good to eat mutton, which is healthy and nutritious."
A group of people chatted and laughed, stopped and walked, and saw a flag waving in the wind on the city gate from a distance.
After passing Populus euphratica forest, everyone involuntarily quickened their pace.
Prince Yimu looked back from time to time, strangely, when he had not passed the Populus euphratica forest just now, there were many poisonous scorpions, centipedes, and other poisonous insects.
Tin Tao ran out with her skirt in her hands. She was wearing a blue dress, with a goldfinch squatting on her shoulder. The small cauldron in Prince Yimu's hand suddenly shook violently.
Across the small tripod, Yimu could feel the fear of the five poisons.
The long-eared marten looked around Prince Yimu, sniffing his clothes lightly from time to time, as if he was hiding half of some delicious food, and his eyes were almost red with greed.
The teeth of the long-eared marten shone faintly with blue light, and Prince Yimu was terrified when he saw the two venomous fangs.
The five poisonous insects in the small wooden cauldron are probably not as powerful as the two poisonous fangs of the long-eared mink.
The long-eared marten surrounded Prince Yimu, and it followed wherever Prince Yimu went.
Gu Yinwei slightly raised her hand, and the long-eared sable reluctantly left Prince Yimu.
Almond's smile was like a breeze, "Haha, master, you are back, the table is ready, all guests from afar are invited to sit."
When Gu Yinwei was changing clothes, Chu Chu told her what had happened in the past few days: "Master, the guards who left at the beginning are all back now, and the servants punished them to repair the post house, which did not give them good face."
"There's no point in being angry with them."
"Thanks to them coming back with supplies this time, otherwise the slaves would not be willing to open the door to let them in."
"The weather is hot recently, and the slaves ordered them to dig a well."
"How long have you been digging, has there ever been a source of water?"
"After three days of digging, no water came out."
"Continue to dig, and we will definitely be able to dig out the water source."
"The slaves said the same thing, but the guards have been a little disobedient recently."
Gu Yinwei unfolded the map and saw that the location of the Sand Dune Station was at the intersection of Mobei and Xuanhua Kingdom. There was a Mosuo River 2000 meters east of the Sand Dune Station. Gu Yinwei was sure that there must be a source of water underground.
It cannot be dug now, only because it is not deep enough.
"Cluck cluck cluck."
There was the sound of a rooster crowing outside the house. Piantao pushed open the door, a rooster clucked and clucked, and Piantao supported Gu Yinwei down the steps.
"Master, the food in the front yard is ready, you stand for a while, and the servant will bring it to you."
"Thank you." Gu Yin nodded slightly, standing on the eaves to enjoy the cool air.
In the kitchen in the front yard, pots, pans, and pans were clanging, and the cook was wearing an apron around her waist, two sleeves on her hands, and a square scarf on her head.
Speak authentic Mobei official dialect: "Girl Tongtao, you are here, I will serve the dishes right away."
The cook lifted the lid of the steamer, and inside the lid were three stacks of freshly fried vegetables, a plate of broad beans, a plate of oily tofu, and a small bowl of mung bean porridge.
The cook took the tray, packed the dishes swiftly, and then served it to Pian Tao. After taking it, Pian Tao walked towards the courtyard where Gu Yinwei was.
Yang Xiaohuan crossed her arms, held a weed in her mouth, and winked at the almond peach pretending to be handsome.
The goldfinch on Almond's shoulder immediately jumped up and pecked at him, telling you to pretend, telling you to pretend.
Gu Yinwei took out a small bowl and filled a bowl of mung bean soup, first handed the bowl to Tandao, and then filled a bowl for herself, Gu Yinwei motioned her to sit down and drink the soup, Tandao was a little hesitant.
"I don't have so many rules in front of me."
"The master is sympathetic to the slave, but the slave can't break the rules."
She was bent over, respectful.
The three side dishes were all eaten by the almonds, and Gu Yinwei hardly touched his chopsticks.
After eating, Gu Yinwei asked: "How many days are there enough water left in the station?"
"It was enough for half a month, but now Prince Yimu has brought more than 80 people. The situation is not optimistic."
Gu Yinwei fell into deep thought.
"Master, did Prince Yimu ever say, when will Princess Zhaoyang come to the post?"
"The other party did not provide a specific time."
Flat peach looked sad: "I didn't give a specific time, so is it possible that we have to wait forever?"
"Princess Zhaoyang's matter is put on hold for now. The most important thing now is to dig a well to get water."
There is a dense jungle behind the post house, where Yang Xiaohuan's twelve chickens often stroll, and now the backyard is full of people, carrying a basket and a load of soil from the north building out of the well.
Gu Yinwei squatted on the ground, carefully inspecting the soil quality on the ground. After three days of digging, a 12-meter deep pit was dug out. The soil underneath was still hard, and there was not a single piece of clay dug out, let alone a water source.
The guards complained, and they were all miserable.
The way of digging wells is very primitive, and the tools are also very outdated.
On the fourth day, there were already complaints.
"Digging a well to get water may seem simple, but it is actually as difficult as climbing the sky."
On the fifth day, some people had already started to complain about Gu Yinwei.
"If one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted."
The guards felt resentment in their hearts, and the hoes in their hands naturally slowed down.
