People always pick on the weak, so it's no wonder that these big birds target Xue Rong.
Who said that compared to the people holding swords and weapons and the black cloud with grimacing teeth and a fierce look on its face, it looks the easiest to bully.
There's not even a few pounds of flesh on my body!
Two big birds swooped down from the left and right. The little fox, who was originally trying to imitate Black Cloud's bared teeth, was suddenly frightened. Even through the thick fur, one could see that its small body was shaking like a sieve.
At the critical moment, the black cloud, which had been irritated and ignored it, suddenly turned around and swooped down on a big bird that was attacking the little fox.
The sharp canine teeth bit through the big bird's wing in one bite, and then it let go and turned around to bare its teeth at the other big bird.
The big bird had already been frightened by the scene just now. There was no need for it to threaten with the black cloud. It flapped its wings and flew back to the flock of birds above.
The frightened little fox Xuerong finally stopped trembling and stood up straight again with his weak limbs.
He looked at the increasingly tall body of Heiyun with eyes full of gratitude.
Even if Heiyun shook his head and didn't want to pay any attention to it, he still moved closer, looking cautious and trying to please it.
But this time, those grape-like eyes stopped rolling around and became much more sincere.
Wei Yunlan didn't have time to pay attention to Xuerong's little thoughts. He looked up at the sky and roughly counted that there were about a hundred birds in the flock.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands, and five people fighting more than a hundred birds is a bit difficult to imagine.
What's more, there are probably more than a hundred of them.
Wei Yunlan could hear the big birds following at the end of the team screaming at the top of their lungs.
Although I couldn't understand what he was saying, I could roughly guess that he was calling his companions...
"Don't give them time to gather together." Wei Yunlan's face was tense.
Staring at a bird or animal in the middle of the team whose position was not obvious, he tried silently saying "put it away" in his mind. After trying several times, the bird was still in the air and did not appear in the space.
There was already a faint feeling of heat and tingling between the eyebrows, so Wei Yunlan continued to make efforts and silently recited a mantra.
Just when she thought this method had lost its effect here and was about to give up, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a pile of stuff in the space.
Not a flying bird, but... a feather!
The big bird, whose wings were covered with gray-brown feathers just now, suddenly turned into a "bald chicken".
The shrill cry echoed through the sky.
The moment Wei Yunlan realized that the feather was stored in the space, he released it again. From their perspective below, it seemed as if the bird had struggled in the air and dropped the feather.
But how could the birds themselves not feel that the feathers just disappeared suddenly from their companions...
If the swords, bows and arrows previously only played a deterrent role, then now, these birds and beasts are really scared!
At this time, birds and beasts flew back here in groups of three or two. When some birds and beasts wanted to attack downwards, Wei Yunlan did the same thing twice.
These birds and beasts circled in place and no longer dared to dive down.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan said, "Let's leave here before they attack us, or else they will gather in larger numbers and make it harder to leave."
Before the night fell, everyone's bags had already been packed.
Get ready and go.
Without any hesitation, they set out on their journey westward again as the sky began to turn pale.
With the mountain range north of Yandu Gorge as the dividing line, the difference between the east and west sides is very obvious.
Apart from other things, the most obvious one is that the west is obviously much drier than the east.
No wonder the barbarians chose the east as their territory.
Three days after the start, the big birds were frightened by the "plucking" and dared not chase after us again.
The further west they went, the fewer wild animals and vegetation they encountered along the way.
"If we go further, it will be hard to find water." Zou Yun asked worriedly, "Chen Yan, how much water do we have left?"
Chen Yan pointed to the two pairs of water bags hanging on the horse's back.
These were all freshly filled yesterday evening when we passed a small body of water. Since both the people and the horses had drunk their fill by the water yesterday, we only drank a few sips today.
There are two pairs of water bags hung on the back of each horse. In total, they now have ten pairs, a total of twenty water bags!
Enough for four or five days.
If you save some money, ten days of walking will be enough.
Wei Yunlan didn’t know how long it would take to get out of this dry area, but she knew that the thing the team had the most was water.
There were many difficulties along the way, but the one she was least worried about was drought.
"Maybe we can find another water source ahead." Yes, we will definitely find it.
In addition to the water tanks that had been stored in the space earlier and the clean water that filled all the pots and pans, there was also a large pile of newly collected snow.
If they were all melted, not to mention ten days, even if there were thousands of ten days more, it would be more than enough for them!
…
Just as Wei Yunlan and his party were crossing the desert, in the capital, at the Jinyang Marquis Mansion, there was chaos.
The mansion was just filled with joy yesterday, but today people are in a panic again and the noise never stops.
"Feng'er, look at what she said."
"I'm doing it for her health, why does she act like I'm trying to hurt her?"
"She doesn't even think about it. The baby in her belly is my grandson. Even if I harm her, how could I possibly harm my own grandson? What's more, that is your blood, Feng'er!" After a few hysterical scoldings, Lady Qin, the wife of Marquis of Jinyang, began to wipe the red corners of her eyes with her sleeves, tears already welling up in her eyes.
"Feng'er, it's not that mother can't tolerate you as a daughter-in-law, it's just... coming from a small family, it's really not good enough."
"Look, how many troubles have we had since she came into our family? Even the families we used to have a lot of contact with don't send us invitations now."
"Mom, I should have stopped you at the beginning."
Watching Qin sobbing and crying quietly, Shen Feng felt confused for a moment.
Then he shook his head and reminded: "Mom, you forgot that the Wei family is still in exile in Beiguan..."
"No matter how bad Linglong is, her brother now has a title and can occasionally be summoned by the emperor."
Qin was suddenly speechless.
Just as the mother and son were talking, a little maid ran away cautiously from the corner of the wall and went straight to Qifengyuan where the Crown Prince's wife, Mrs. Xue, lived.
"You can go down." After receiving the reward, the little maidservant went back to work carefully.
After a moment, Xue Linglong, who was leaning against the head of the bed, had a dark face.
The long nails poked the palm of his hand, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and confusion.
It shouldn't be like this!
Everything in her dream was clearly not supposed to be like this!
