Chapter 417: Night of Hundred Ghosts

Biquge EbookFREE.me, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Mulan Wu Brother!
The decision to enter the desert in early August was really crazy. Everyone—whether handsome or not, old and young men and women—was brushed with oil.
In the entire team, only the princess Xingping, who was wrapped in a veil and cloak, and covered with the cream made by Beiliang Palace, still maintained her original skin color, but this skin color was deeper than when she left Beiliang. It was difficult for He Mulan to guarantee that she had a good skin when she arrived in Pingcheng.
As far as she knows, girls with fair skin are prone to spots and sunburn.
‘Your Majesty, if Princess Xingping I brought back became ugly, it ’s really not my fault ...’ He Mulan thought in tears.
‘In this world without sunscreen and air-conditioned cars, it ’s amazing that I can bring her back to Pingcheng! ’
He Mulan's skin is now tanned, and she smiles with not too white teeth, not to mention that she is a woman, even if a respectable old man says that she is a woman, I am afraid that half of them do not believe it.
Later, He Mulan was half-pressed by Zheng Zong. He really had to add water. He kept drinking water on the road to reduce the consumption caused by his heavy sweating. He had no urine at night. At night If she doesn't wipe it off with water at bedtime, she can even wipe the salt from her body.
Yuan Fang, Chen Jie, and others often show complicated expressions when they see He Mulan's current dress and appearance, which means "Your Majesty is too much, how can a woman make such a hot place?" I am afraid that in their hearts, Tuobayu has become an unscrupulous boss who squeezed every drop of sweat and tears of He Mulan.
After entering the desert, He Mulan realized that human beings are small. The scenery between heaven and earth is exactly the same. No matter from which angle you look, it is sand, sand, sand ...
Even a person with a strong sense of direction, such as He Mulan, has a black eye and a yard in the desert. She couldn't understand how the guides could tell the right path from the dunes that looked exactly the same.
The guide called Lao Sangtou Gai Wu knew was indeed a very useful person. He taught everyone to put a cloth towel under the white hood, so as to prevent sunburn on the scalp. He told everyone that he could not drink water when the sun was the hottest, because not only he could not quench his thirst, but he also became sweaty immediately. He should add a lot of water at dusk and early morning, so that he would not be deprived of water during the day. syncope.
He led the mission from the shade of the sand dunes. He knew every big oasis and small oasis in the desert. The guides recruited by Beiliang in the Bronze Gorge were like ignorant children. Everyone respectfully called him "Master Sang" in the end, because he helped the whole mission even more than those camels who worked hard.
The people of Lu Shuihu were honored. At the same time, the story of the old mulberry head spread from the people of Lu Shuihu also spread.
In the early years, he went westward with the east of Gaitiantai, went to Devil Gorge, went down to the deep sea of ​​Beiyan, went over the snow-capped mountains, and crossed the swamps that nobody walked through. He almost wanted to be an expert in wild adventures. general.
Although He Mulan knows that there is a deliberate exaggeration and bragging element, but there are rumors in the team that help the entire team grow in confidence, so He Mulan did not manage these rumors. The rumors became more and more strange, and in the end He Mulan even heard the rumor that "the old mulberry's head was cut off by a horse thief when he knew that a desert treasure was being retrieved" and he escaped.
Many people are very curious about the "treasure" in the legend. Some people are straight-headed and even carelessly ask the old mulberry whether the treasures are real, and they are directly driven away by the furious old mulberry.
Fortunately, he was in the Lushuihu people all day long, so he was not pulled into a corner to confess.
It's just that the sinister mind of the man with the treasure is really outrageous.
"Did anyone find out who transmitted it?"
He Mulan didn't want to stop the previous rumors, but when the rumors may endanger human life, especially Gai Wu came to ask He Mulan to investigate the matter, of course, she must make the decision that the team leader should have.
The investigation of the rumors was handed to Zheng Zong and Yuan Fang. They were familiar with the situation of the regiment, a language of several ethnic groups, and after asking many people for questions, Zheng Zong had some news over there.
"It wasn't from the Lu Shuihu people, but a soldier in the Beiliang Iron Guard Camp. He is from Dunhuang and has heard about the" Night Diary Treasure Hunt ". The old mulberry's finger was not broken before. He had lived in Dunhuang at that time, with some fame. He had recruited people to enter the desert once, saying it was a treasure hunt, but the whole army was wiped out. Only he broke his finger and came back ... "
Zheng Zong said with a serious expression: "After his hand was abolished, he was asked about the treasure in Dunhuang. He disappeared one day and disappeared in Dunhuang. The original Liangliang did not know this old mulberry. The head is the night owl, but Lu Shuihu said that his previous name was 'night owl', and the characteristics of his broken fingers were consistent, so he passed it on. "
"So, does he really know that a treasure is in Dunhuang?" Gai Wu blinked. "Why didn't he tell us? If he wants to take out the treasure, he doesn't need to run at that time, just call the brothers of the Tiantai Army together. Just go to Dunhuang. Isn't it better than recruiting miscellaneous cards into the desert together in Dunhuang? "
"No wonder he is so familiar with the desert, he knows how to protect himself, how to find water in the desert, how to quickly pass through the dunes ..." Yuan Fang thought of other issues, "this man advanced through the depths of the desert, or to enter The desert has done a lot of preparation, and now he can live by being a "guide" to the caravan. In this regard, he is a real baby. "
"I don't want to hear this in the mission any more," He Mulan said with a frown to the Luohun around him. "You pass my order, the army is not allowed to harass Laosang again. Even if he knows What ’s the news of the treasure, it ’s also his own thing, there is no need to make everyone known, the military heart is floating. We are here to pick up the relatives, princess Xingping ’s dowry has caused headaches, and then come the 'treasure mystery', we There is no need to rush! "
"Yes!"
That Luohun nodded.
Gai Wu still frowned, probably not knowing why the old mulberry head went to Beiliang four years ago to "treasure hunt", and did not go back for so many years.
His experience in the past few years is a mystery, and he is unwilling to tell them.
"My grandfather would just be alive." After a long time, Gai Wu sighed, "I still can't convince the public, because I'm not trustworthy, Uncle Sang didn't dare let us share his past."
"No need to blame yourself, everyone has a secret." He Mulan patted his apprentice's shoulder and blinked at him.
If she didn't tell herself that she was a woman, who would know she was a woman?
Gai Wu obviously thought of this too, smiled gratefully, and continued to say, "Anyway, Uncle Sang's character is absolutely ..."
"General, Master Sang, please!"
Suddenly outside the door, suddenly announced to the account.
A group of people in the account were discussing the matter of Laosangtou, but at this time it was said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived. Several people looked at each other, and He Mulan adjusted his clothes and let him in.
When Laosang headed into the account, he did not expect that there were so many people in it. After greeting everyone, Laosang told He Mulan with anxiety:
"Tonight's galaxy is bright, and another red moon appears. Starting tomorrow, the day will not be able to catch up."
"Why?"
He Mulan was anxious to hear that she couldn't make her way.
"This oasis is very small and there is not enough water. If we dwell here for a few more days, our horse will die first!"
Horses drink much more water than humans. For so many days, horses' consumption of water accounted for the largest part of water loss. Even He Mulan ’s Yueying and Scarlet have been stunned in recent days. Get up.
"The appearance of the red moon and the stars shows that the next few days will be very hot weather. This heat will be even more intense than it is now. Extremely hot weather will make radon appear, and the desert will also 'gossip'. It ’s twisted, and it ’s easiest to get lost, so from tomorrow on, we ca n’t rush away during the day.

The old mulberry head obviously also had a headache for this ghost weather.
"Before I came, I and several other guides ditched. The next road takes two days to reach the next big oasis, but the distance is good. We will rest in the oasis where the sandstone is located tomorrow, but from the evening Began to 'night walk Xiao Su', otherwise a large number of people will become dehydrated or even die of heat stroke. "
He was careful, and everyone in the account couldn't help getting serious.
"Departure at night? Can you see the way?"
Yuan Fang is most worried about getting lost. "It's difficult to recognize the direction during the day, and if you can't see the road at night, will you go the wrong way?"
"The road at night is no different from the road during the day. For a camel, there is almost no need to use eyes to distinguish the direction. I and several other guides pointed at the road at night. This road is not a lonely route. Worry about meeting poisonous snakes, not directions. "
The old mulberry was not worried about him.
"Master Sang think we have to travel Xiaosu at night to reach Qin Khan City? We can't take any risks during the day? We still have enough water now."
He Mulan also worried about the safety of more than 5,000 people marching at night.
When the desert is docile, the white sand is no different from the beach. Although the horses don't like walking in the desert, the strong sand does not hurt the hoof. It is not bad to walk except that it is slower.
However, the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is extremely large. When the night is the coldest, you need to cover with a woolen mattress. If you are wearing thick clothes and hurried away, the temperature difference between day and night is too great.
"It's even more dangerous to stay here. There's not enough water. I don't see the soldiers of the Tigers and Tadpoles secretly drinking water once or twice. They didn't strictly control the amount of water they drink. The water in their skins is probably empty. The water in this oasis can dry us up in a day ... "
The water in the oasis is usually the water that slowly gathers in the rainy season and underground springs. Once it is used up, it often takes a long time to return. Several guides shook their heads at this oasis, but it was a pity that people later did not have water to use.
"That's the only way. I'll send Pak Yak to tell everyone to prepare the water and the food needed in the desert during the day and tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, they will drive every night and keep their spirits during the day."
When He Mulan made a decision, she immediately summoned the uncle officer in the mission to give an order, and thanked the old sangtou: "Thank you very much for helping out, and we have to take good care of you. Pingcheng, I will sue your Majesty and ask for a reward for Master Sang. "
It was unexpected that the old mulberry's head heard this as if he hadn't heard it. He didn't even raise his eyebrows, only looking at Gai Wu: "Young Master, can Lu Shuihu people still be officials in Wei Kingdom?"
Guy Wu froze and shook his head.
"Ji Tian, ​​there is no official in the middle of the DPRK."
"Neither does the general?"
"No."
He Mulan stood there awkwardly, not knowing what Sangtou said.
"Since other Lushuihu people can't be officials, the reward I can get is nothing but gold and silver. I look like this now and it doesn't matter to the wealth." Laosang's head showed an ironic expression, "I'm not helping You are afraid that the clan people will inexplicably fold in the desert. General Hua is better to be optimistic about his tiger army and don't drink water in a hurry, otherwise you will be asked for water. "
At this moment, even Gai Wu was a little embarrassed. He only left the camp after dragging Laosang's head after he said good-by to He Mulan. After going all the way, he could still hear Gai Wu's complaining to Laosang's head.
"Master Sang seems to be very prejudiced against the Wei people." Yuan Fang's eyes looked a little worried, "I don't know what he has eaten the Wei people except to build the rooftop, but he was so prepared . "
"It's probably a loss on the road to escape. When Gai Wu strayed to Pingcheng, he didn't know how much he had suffered. The Xianbei and Han people treated the huhu very harshly. They were not like tartars or tartars. The appearance is different from that of the Central Plains, and it can be seen at a glance.
He Mulan sympathized with his experience and said nothing.
Zheng Zong opened his mouth and tried to say something, but he didn't say anything. Instead, Yuan Fang found out that he was wrong, and was curious to ask him, "What do you want to say? Just say it, don't need to." Secretly. "
"I'm guessing, I don't know if I should mention ..."
Zheng Zong is always sensitive to the dark side of others.
"You may not have noticed that the last time the horse thief attacked the caravan, the caravan where the old sang's head even the leader and the leader were dead. The others were running away in a hurry, most of them were wounded. It was unscathed. Even if he had martial arts, horse thieves were mostly persimmons picking up soft pinches. He was not tall and hurt his hands. Why didn't the horse thief attack an adult man? "
He Mulan blinked.
"People who practice martial arts are very different from those who can't martial arts. Even if you tie my hands together, I can easily escape enemies like horse thieves."
"Not only that, the night when the general annihilated the horse thief, everyone was discussing the horse thief. Only he didn't say a word about it. Theoretically, the horse thief attacked his caravan and killed so many people, even if he was temporary. The hired guide has been with him for at least so many days, and he ca n’t see his enemies. There is always a little bit of emotional damage? But after he entered the Lushuihu camp, he never mentioned the previous caravan incident. It ’s strange. Yes. "
Zheng Zongping and Lu Shuihu often mix together, and they also know a little about this "Master Sang".
"You mean, Laosangtou probably knows that there is a horse thief on that road?" Yuan rest assured and thoughtfully, then took a breath and took a breath.
"Do you mean that the old mulberry head is likely to be a spy ambushing in the caravan, specifically leading the caravan to the road where the accident will happen?"
"I'm just guessing. I've also been in Beiliang and Xia Guo before, and I know that there are some places where the guides and the local horse thieves are in collusion. People in one place can't survive, they will fall into the grass, and the local people will In order to protect the relatives and friends who have fallen into the grass, they often cover them and even form a group, designing past caravans and travellers. "
Zheng Zong said with some worry: "What is more convincing than a guide? Even if the caravan's guide is pointing in the wrong direction, some people will follow, just as he told us today to avoid the scorching sun at night. If it is true, it is normal to direct the caravan to a remote place to start. "
The expressions on Yuan Fang and Chen Jie are already very bad.
"This is really just speculation. Even if Laosangtou and the sand robbers belonged to one group, we killed all the horse thieves, which is equivalent to taking a salary at the bottom of the kettle. He found a tribe and may just get out of this life and go home. Now we need His ability, to stare at him carefully, is not necessary.
He Mulan was very annoyed at Zheng Zong's ability to spare no effort to think of people.
It was as if he had determined that Xingping Gong mainly lured him.
Another example is that he doesn't think Laosangtou is so simple.
"I don't think Zheng Zong's speculation is completely unfounded. Old Sang Tau is too familiar with this road, and he is not native of Beiliang." Yuan Fang had some confidence in Zheng Zong. "General, why not?" Every time, the scouts sent out to explore the road are sent a few times more, and they go a little further, and they are sure to be back. Especially the direction guided by the old mulberry head ... "
Horse thieves are not without a trace, a team of more than 5,000 people, even if they want to launch an ambush, at least a similar number of people will do.
Sophisticated scouts can find clues hundreds of miles away, even in the desert. This is a talented instinct. It is almost impossible for so many people to hide completely.
"That's it."
He Mulan nodded, his heart was heavy.
"Sure enough, there must be no hurtful heart, and there must be no guardian heart ..."

The experience of the old mulberry head is indeed very important.
In the early morning of the next day, the sun was just rising, and everyone noticed an unprecedented heat.
This is August in the lunar calendar, and it is already September in modern times. Even in the desert, it will never be so hot. The sun was burning in the sky, and there was no cloud. Everyone felt the terrible warmth. Even when wearing a close-fitting white shirt to avoid direct sunlight, he was still dizzy and swollen.
Some people started to irrigate directly, while others hid under the shadow formed by the camel's cormorants and let it cool down a little. The tent couldn't live, and it was not much different from the sauna room. Even Juqu Bodhi and Princess Xingping left their tents and wore thin clothes to find the shadows of a few camels lying down to hide.
A few palace chants fanned them aside, and the only remaining fruits were cut into beautiful shapes and placed on the end plate, serving as their mouthwash before breakfast, causing many soldiers and men's longing eyes.
In the desert, whether or not your status is precious is reflected in how many people are serving you. The sun does not matter whether you are a noble or not, you must bask together.
Princess Xingping also appeared more and more in front of people. Later, because it was too sultry, she occasionally took off her veil and appeared with her brother Bodhi.
The beauty of Princess Xingping can still be resisted by some men who have been immersed in women for many years, because her beauty is a full play of hormones. Men see more women and have some resistance to her.
But for these senior men and women who haven't seen women all year round, who live on war, and even some women who haven't even met a woman, Princess Xingping's looks, body, and even her voice can cause them infinite reverie.
After the army was suppressed for a long time, the horror was indescribable. After He Mulan discovered that more and more soldiers and soldiers in the Tiger Army began to quietly follow Princess Xingping, He Mulan immediately decisively sent Meng Yulong to send iron. The guard camp was close to protect Princess Xingping, and Bodhi and his dark guards also tried to stay close to Princess Xingping.
She knows that many of the young men of the Tiger Army may not really want to offend Princess Xingping. Maybe they just want to talk to this beauty. Maybe they just want to "confess", but as long as one person does so, countless people will follow suit. Maybe once someone gets out of control, Princess Xingping will be torn to pieces by the full-blooded guys who are about to explode.
Zheng Zong had worriedly told her that he had seen many young men with tigers and army soldiers get up to wash their pants in the morning, and during the day, some people looked at the back of Princess Xingping and saw that they fell off immediately.
Not because of thoughtfulness, but because of the loss of horsepower right away, you will feel pain when riding a horse. It is better to crash the horse directly once. The pain will distract your attention and allow the swelling to subside.
Only at this time did He Mulan know how terrible a woman was in the barracks. In the past, the TV series and the "play" Hua Mulan were all beautiful and beautiful. How could such a woman live in the army? Got it down?
Men who are out of control and only have animal desires are likely to be transformed into beasts directly. When such a long march or the tension before the war comes, a restlessness will trigger a camp change.
Even in order to eliminate the disturbing factors in the army, the coaches will expel or kill the woman.
He Mulan said with certainty that if Princess Xingping was not the object of protection during their trip, and this woman was important to the Northern Wei Dynasty, she would be replaced by another woman, even if she was ugly. When she found that the Tigers and the Army had begun to get a little out of control, Will drive her out.
She was so glad that Mulan was a girl who was neither beautiful nor plump.
Who is the most feared person in the tiger army?
There must be He Mulan.
Because of this, for the safety of Princess Xingping and to appease Princess Xingping's emotions, as long as He Mulan is free, she must be beside her and Bodhizi, sometimes she does n’t even say anything, she just stays quietly With this, it can block many people or spying or burning eyes.
For Princess Xingping, at first, she noticed that when many men exposed her hot eyes to her, she was proud and satisfied.
She knew she was extremely beautiful since she was a child, and fully satisfied herself in the eyes that men sought after, and thus found her self-confidence and set up wrong values.
Think about it, countless men are obsessed with her, and can even watch her back fall off the horse. What kind of beauty is this?
Men conquer the world, women conquer men, and sometimes men can do things that women can offer with only one look.
But when this kind of eyes became more abundant, what Princess Xingping felt was not pride, but fear. No matter where she went, no matter what she did, countless people would stare at her, lick every inch of her skin with her eyes, and even the air smelled the smell of the man's stinky smell, which made her want to die. .
There are more than a hundred maids around her. Some of them found "good friends" in the Tiger Army, and some of them looked right in the Iron Guard Camp, but they were afraid to slip out overnight or do anything overdone. Not because of stubbornness, but because of so many pairs of eyes watching, who knows if someone will go mad and change from two people to a group of magic dances?
Women are inherently sensitive to such things, and they are totally afraid to try it out.
Fortunately, the drowsiness and vomiting of Princess Xingping started from a certain day and disappeared as if it had suddenly disappeared, otherwise the situation might be even worse.
Maybe she's young, maybe she's pretty good, maybe God cares about her. After she's vomiting and drowsy, she can eat and sleep, even if she rides a camel in the hot sun, she doesn't have any abdomen. Ill, just after bedtime at night, I always have nightmares that are halfway through the various walks, or nightmares that are dragged by a group of men to nowhere ...
Just at this moment, Hua Mulan seemed to hear her uneasy, and approached her more and more.
He was like a silent mountain, covering her eyes from everyone's visits and soothing her restless mind.
Every man he had met with her was different. He didn't speak slickly, and sometimes he didn't even say a word. He had neither a handsome appearance nor a burly red-eared figure, but he stood so quietly. There, we can strangely calm the mind.
With him by her side, she had no fear of other people's eyes, because as long as everyone else saw him, they would obediently lower their heads, as if they were afraid that he might find the uncomfortable in his head.
Because of his presence, Bodhi began to approach her more and more, and get closer to her, so that she felt the warmth of her family in this isolated tiger tiger army.
All this was brought by Mulan. Although he never said it, she also gradually felt the soft fieryness under his cold appearance.
She was pretty sure he was watching him secretly, because every time she had any discomfort, he always found it first, and then rushed to her.
Last time her camel was suddenly frightened, and everyone was panicking. Only he drove the Dawan foal called Yueying directly to it, and picked her off directly from the camel's back.
At that time, his arms were so powerful and his riding was so exquisite-at least she hadn't seen anyone who could stand on horseback and move freely.
When Hua Mulan was sure she was safe, he even jumped off the horse and grabbed the camel's reins, stopping it abruptly!
You know it's a camel! Compared to people, it is a behemoth!
The camel so fierce when he was angry was in front of him as if he had met the poor egg of a lion unfortunately, and could only be stopped by dragging his head down, and only breathing.
At that moment, Princess Xingping knew that this man was truly extraordinary.
At least those rumors about his natural divine power or pure character are not just rumors.
He must also admire himself, just because she is a sweetheart princess, and he is so loyal to that Her Majesty, so he can only suppress his inner turmoil and silently follow himself behind.
He will patrol from her camp several times a day, he will prepare fresh fruits and vegetables for her, several times to the oasis, he even carried a few buckets of water to bathe her ...
She thought he was smelly before, but after being with other Tigers and Iron Guards, and even her brother Bodhi, she realized that the general body smell was probably the smallest.
He must be aware of her sensitivity to the smell, so wipe it off constantly. He must have cared too much about her comfort, so he personally lifted water to let her who loves to bathe.
Because the water was brought by Mulan, no one in the mission rebuked her for taking such precious water for bathing.
How much wind and rain he blocked for her.
His love is not completely concealed, at least the translator who is often surprised at him seems to find something, always pretending to be inserted between them or blocking them. It is abominable for people to speak or keep them alone.
This translator looks so embarrassed and looks at them like a thief. If it is not a running dog that Tuoba sent specially, he or she has an unbearable mind.
Is anyone else so cautious about him? She looked at the guards next to Hua Mulan, no matter whether it was Chen Jie or the one named Luohun.
Just as they fully believe in Mulan's conduct, there is absolutely no such thing as general.
Hey, thinking about it, she was annoyed by Hua Mulan's too square character. Even the people around him were so frank, how rigid should he be?
The thought of her plan was long-term, and the children might come out again after exhaustion, and Princess Xingping fell into anxiety.
But because of Mulian's silent tenderness, Princess Xingping was a little embarrassed.
She even felt that she was unlucky to pull Mulan together. She was not only sorry for raising her Beiliang, but also Mulan who had come thousands of miles to welcome her and those members of the mission.
She had seen a soldier who was still asleep in the middle of the night, but there was no sound during the day. The loving monk said that he was killed by a scorpion infested at night, and this happened more and more frequently. Don't dare to fall asleep without smoking the nasty branches of the night over his tent.
It was because of so much hardship and danger on the road that Princess Xingping began to realize that perhaps the Wei people were not indifferent to the Beiliang people for this peace.
What will happen to Beiliang if she has a problem and can't get along with her?
What about her brother Bodhi?
Mulan, whom she scorned, might escape her death, but it is estimated that she would hate her forever.
Thinking of this, Princess Xingping had some urges to take Wu Shi and relieve her sorrow.
Since the ambassador to the present, she has endured Wushi San for a long time. The scorching of the scorching sun has also suppressed the chill on her body, which has never occurred.
‘Wait in a safe place ...’
Princess Xingping looked silently at Mulan.
At this moment he was leaning on the camel's in front of himself, and his thigh was awake early in the morning, so sleepy and drowsy, and the latter was lying there, docile like a kitten.
She really wanted to be lying in that position at this moment.
Even though there was still a bit of sour sweat on his body, but because of the good feeling in his heart, the sweat was like a special mark on Mulan, which made her disgusted.
Princess Xingping leaned on the camel and looked down at her toes ...
It's just so slow.

After a day's rest, both horses and camels have been adjusted. After the sky gradually turned red and the temperature dropped, He Mulan ordered everyone to let the horses and camels rid of the only turf and shrubs in the oasis, bring all the water that can be brought on, and followers Laosang began to tread. Stepped into the desert.
At the beginning, everyone was still trembling. The Tigers and Army soldiers also marched at night or launched an overnight attack. They are no strangers to this kind of nighttime rush, so they can chat with each other to pass the time.
But as the night got deeper and darker, even with the wind lanterns and torches, things couldn't be seen clearly, and the weather began to get cold. He Mulan had to order all the camels to go to the front of the team. At least the camel is taller. Seeing the camel's back is better than the atmosphere that they thought was ghostly when they saw a gust of wind casually.
The camel walked silently, and the camel ringing came out remotely. In order to adjust the atmosphere, Yuan Fang jokingly said, "If any caravan sees our army who hurried away at night, they must think that they have seen a ghost, or A lot of ghosts ... "
"A hundred ghosts go at night?"
He Mulan looked around without amusement.
There are no reference objects in the desert, so it is more terrible than the rapid march at night. Looking at it, except sand is sand, and there is no wind tonight. There is no change in the sand, except that some snakes or other reptiles occasionally crawl out, and the weird crawling sound of salad salad is made, and the horse is occasionally hissing.
The people in the Tiger Army are all killers who do n’t blink, but in the face of this weird atmosphere, everyone is like a boulder pressed against their chests, and no one can think of jokes, they can only hold tightly. Lips, just looking at the torch burning ahead.
Burning torches are like their hopes and beacons, allowing them to relax a bit.
"Master Sang, can you make some sounds? For example, sing a song together?" He Mulan cried to the guides leading the way.
"It's so boring now, I'm afraid someone will fall asleep on horseback."
Several guides laughed after hearing He Mulan's words.
"General Hua, you feel quiet now, you will only feel noisy when you wait!" A guide said with a smile: "Wait where we are going through, we are all called 'Noisy Sand', you better let the Ministry do Be prepared, don't be scared to drop the horse and camel! "
Old Sang's head also smiled, pointing to a direction that could not see anything in front.
"Walk straight from here, through a ring of sand, a sand dune and sandstone. In the daytime it is a natural shady place, and our destination is there. Although there is no oasis there, we have enough water, and then go One day to the next oasis. "
"Well? You say that sandstone that is always windy? Shall we go there?"
A few guides asked him strangely, "Don't you go all the way to Shatou?"
Sand heads are huge sand dunes that bulge. Some sand dunes will not move. They are natural indicators in the process of driving. There is no danger in resting on the sand head.
But if you sleep under the sand, a strong wind really blows up, and it is likely that people will be buried alive.
"No wind tonight, Sandstone City is safe." Old Sangtou looked at the sand without any change. "We have to rest during the day. The sandy head is too hot and can dehydrate people."
"That's true."
The guides looked at today's weather and began to admire Laosang's decision.
"This way you can rest early, your decision is correct!"
They are all savvy people, knowing that the old mulberry head had caught Mulan, and had an old friend with Hua Mulan's apprentice, and he was happy to give him the decision, so that he took the money and carried the black pot, as long as he could point the direction. .
After a while, maybe a short time, maybe a long time, because everyone was drowsy and did not know how long they had gone, and suddenly heard a strange sound.
The sound was sharp and loud, as if the forefinger bounced on the tightened string, but the second, third, fourth ...
Both the man and the horse showed uneasy expressions, and some even exclaimed loudly that there was a "ghost". The camels were overwhelmed by the sound behind them, and they stopped at once, and the entire team stopped.
Only the sharp sound continued, and the harsh sounds kept ringing. Some of the Tigers were already nervous enough to pull out their weapons.
"Don't panic, it's Mingsha!"
"Please do n’t use weapons, this is the sound of the sand hills, only in the desert. This is the sound of sand!"
He Mulan and Meng Yulong shouted one after the other, calming the nervousness of the soldiers.
Meng Yulong also walked through many deserts, and naturally knew that this was a strange phenomenon in the desert. Although it was ugly and terrible, there was no danger at all.
He Mulan knew something like "Mingsha" in the book before, so she came to her sense quickly.
Old Sangtou saw that the two generals knew what was going on, and turned around unexpectedly, and smiled with satisfaction: "You don't have to mess, just follow the camel in front and go straight through."
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the temperature was so cold that Princess Xingping had already wrapped the blanket. He Mulan sent a group of scouts in the sanding pile in front of him several times. There was no danger at all, so he ordered the army to move on.
That Mingsha really screams, like a silk bamboo orchestra, and it is still played by a puck with no rules. There is no beauty at all. When the army passed by Mingsha, the sound was even louder. It was like a magnified version of nails scratching the glass. It was heard by everyone, and each speeded up and passed through it desperately.
Because this section of Mingsha Road was too weird, everyone was exhausted. Princess Xingping was almost scared and fainted. Juqu Bodhi even directly asked He Mulan to ride with him, because his legs were already soft. Way to ride.
This way I tossed all the way, plus the camel ran away from the team to find it back. The rocky sandy land that should have been before dawn, was only seen when the sky turned out and the fish belly was white.
"Oh my god, why would you call it!"
Zheng Zong was about to collapse and looked at a dark shadow in the distance.
Listening from a distance, it seems that there is a wind passing through the gap, the sound is sharp and the sound is miserable, but because the sound is subtle, it is not very obvious.
It is a pity that Zheng Zong was scared by Mingsha just now, and now when he hears the voice again, he almost runs away.
"The general doesn't have to worry. Such a small voice shows that there is no wind blowing." Laosang pointed to the distance. "There is often wind, so a natural platform is formed. Sand accumulates there and forms like sandstone. The height of a city wall is moderate, and there is no danger in the wind. "
The other guides were tired and sleepy, nodding frequently.
He Mulan asked people to raise a few torches and nodded after watching it for a while.
It is a sand dune with a landform of Yadan, probably because the wind is not so strong, the age is not so far, the scale is very small, and it is not as spectacular as the famous Devil City in Xinjiang.
But the old mulberry head is right, there is a shadow when there is a difference in height, and you can rest during the day when there is a shadow.
Because He Mulan has the knowledge of later generations, her anxiety is not as serious as others, but she once again sent a scout of the Tigers and Army Army to probe in front of the sandstone and let others wait in place.
About half an hour later, the scouts who came to investigate came back, and the situation really was like the old mulberry head said. Not only was there no danger, not even the sand foxes and wolves common in the desert.
"Keep going! Reach the rocky sands before dawn."
He Mulan exhaled.
The long night walk is finally over.
