A long song into the gate of heaven

Chapter 35 Adversity sees the truth

The desert climate has a huge temperature difference, making people dizzy with heat during the day and shivering with cold at night.

Le Yu almost woke up from the cold, the fire in front of him had already been extinguished, and Shangguan Yan was still fast asleep.

He got up, trying to move his body to drive away the cold.

At this moment, Shangguan Yan also woke up.

"Before the trip, I had hopes for the scenery of the desert, but now I really want to leave this ghost place as soon as possible." Le Yu laughed at himself.

"Have you had a good rest? There must be something important to announce at this martial arts conference. Let's not waste the time." Shangguan Yan said.

"Let's go, I believe we can go out soon." Le Yu said.

At first, Le Yu still had the energy to be talkative, but after walking for two days, there was still no sign of water or human habitation.Their baggage had been left in the cave, and they had no dry food at all.The two of them were unable to move in the wind and sand, and in this desolate desert, they could not rest in an open space no matter what.

In search of water, the unattractive ephedra rooted deeply into the sand. Although it was narrow and small, it rose high and glared at the desert without any compromise.Now the two had no choice but to hold on, walking non-stop, firmly walking in one direction.

Suddenly a strong wind roared in the distance.

The two quickly leaned over and covered their cheeks with the coarse cloth they brought.

The strong wind blows up a large amount of dust and sand on the ground, and the two of them have difficulty breathing in this strong wind.

But don't be a sandstorm!Shangguan Yan read silently.

Fortunately, the wind howled past, and everything returned to calm.The two got up and patted each other, and they were both safe and sound.

The two still underestimated the power of the desert, and this is the beginning of the ordeal.Can they get through this and leave the desert with their heads held high?
Baked by the scorching sun, waves of heat rise up from the desert, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

The corner of Le Yu's mouth was dry and cracked, he licked it unconsciously, trying to moisten it.But when that cracked lip meets saliva, it's only worse.His footsteps have gradually slowed down, and his body seems to be heavy.

Terrifying corpses have appeared on the desert, and even powerful creatures like camels can't get out of here, let alone them?

This look, not only can't see hope, it makes people even more desperate, but they have no other way, there is still a glimmer of life to go on.

He glanced at Shangguan Yan beside him, and her condition was not much better.Although he looked fine, his steps were getting slower and slower.

If she were an ordinary woman, she would have died in the desert long ago.

They knew in their hearts that the more they were in such a crisis, the stronger they would be.The fall of one person will also bring about the collapse of the companion's heart.So they don't talk, and put all their strength on their feet.

It's just that as they walked forward, what they saw was not hope, but close to death, and the two of them felt a chill in their hearts.

The wind and sand continued to wreak havoc, so if you die, you don't have to endure such pain, right?
"Le Yu!" Shangguan Yan suddenly shouted.

Le Yu's body shook, and he found that his body had been buried three-thirds of the way in the sand, so he quickly struggled out with both hands and feet.

After Shangguan Yan shouted, she lost all strength and collapsed on the sand.

"Miss Shangguan, what's wrong with you?" Le Yu quickly helped Shangguan Yan up.

Shangguan Yan glanced at Le Yu, apparently unable to answer.

Seeing her pale face, Le Yu quickly took out the remaining water.

"No, no." Shangguan Yan's face was pale, and her breathing rate kept decreasing.

"If it's not a desert here, it's okay to take a break. But seeing the sun is about to set, we definitely can't bear the severe cold." Le Yu said.

After falling down like this, Shangguan Yan seemed to have lost all motivation and could no longer stand up.

"Miss Shangguan, I'll carry you!" Le Yu squatted down.

Shangguan Yan pushed and said with difficulty: "Don't be stupid. If you carry me, the two of you will die here."

"I'm too tired. I haven't eaten for a few days, and I have no strength. You go first. When you find someone, come back to me."

"No! Since I brought you here, I have to take you back. I can't leave you here alone!" Regardless of Shangguan Yan's objections, Le Yu insisted on carrying Shangguan Yan on his back.

Seeing Shangguan Yanyu's eyelashes slightly moist, she shook her head: "Why are you so stupid?"

"As a man, if he can't even protect a woman, what is he talking about, let alone revenge!" Le Yu strode forward.

Shangguan Yan looked at Le Yu silently, closed her eyes and said nothing, she could not utter a complete sentence. At that moment, she felt the back of a man other than her father for the first time, and it was also the first time she felt To the sense of security.She stopped talking, but gently rested her head on Le Yu's shoulder.

She no longer felt cold, because Le Yu had blocked all the wind and sand for Shangguan Yan.

Le Yu felt that Shangguan Yan was leaning on his shoulder, so he couldn't help but stop, then smiled at the corner of his mouth, and fell down on the desert.

"Miss Shangguan!" Le Yu shouted.

He woke up and found himself lying on the blanket, and Shangguan Yan was missing.

An elder who looked like a businessman opened the shutter and walked in: "Young man, don't worry, the girl who is traveling with you is very nice."

Le Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for saving my life, old man. I don't know where she is now?"

"She's in the tent next door," said the elder.

Le Yu wanted to get up, but he couldn't use his hands.

"Young man, don't worry, you take care of yourself first. You have been walking in the desert for several days, and your body has already lacked a lot of water. If you don't pay attention to rest, it is difficult to guarantee that you will feel uncomfortable." The elder quickly dissuaded.

Le Yu coughed and said nothing.

At this time, Shangguan Yan walked in.

The elder shook his head: "You two little ones, you are really brave to wander in the desert."

"Miss Shangguan, are you okay?" Le Yu asked.

Looking at Le Yu's appearance, Shangguan Yan felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm fine, don't move. It's really hard for you."

Le Yu looked at the old man and struggled to get up: "Thank you, old man, I have bothered you a lot these days, so I will leave now."

"I'm leaving now? But you haven't fully recovered yet," said the elder.

"We'd better rest for a few days before going on our way," Shangguan Yan said.

Le Yu was silent for a while: "It's from Mount Tai."

Shangguan Yan knew that Le Yu didn't want to delay the schedule because of him, so she hurriedly said: "We've traveled a long distance these days, and we're really tired, let's rest for a few days before leaving."

The elder nodded: "We are just about to return to the Central Plains, you can take a ride with us, so that we can also take care of us."

"This, this." Le Yu didn't want to accept other people's kindness, and didn't know how to repay it.

"Well, I think you are carrying a sword. You should be a martial artist. We will inevitably encounter bandits and thieves when we travel on business trips. You can protect us by staying here," said the elder.

"It's so good!" Le Yu said.

"Thank you, old man." The two said at the same time.

"I've heard them yell many times today, and I've almost memorized it." Le Yu laughed.

"Maybe they are trying to relieve their thirst. After all, the desert lacks water. Even if they bring enough water, they should avoid becoming dependent." Shangguan Yan said.

The two are riding on the camel now, as calm as they were when they left the customs.

A round of perfectly round sunset fell on the ridgeline of the desert, and the earth was darkened.There was a layer of deep red in the distance, like a silent sea.

"I've never seen such a scene before." Le Yu said happily.

"It's so beautiful." Shangguan Yan couldn't help blurting out.

Le Yu glanced at Shangguan Yan secretly: "I wonder what she is thinking about now?"
