She gestured to the two soldiers and even took out two bunches of grapes, hoping they would make an exception for her.
But the two soldiers still refused to let them cross the line.
Qiu Yan finally understood.
They need the travel permit!
This... is a bit difficult for them.
She shrugged helplessly. "It seems we'll have to outsmart them. Susu, bring out your trump card and freeze them in place."
Since these people couldn't understand what she was saying anyway, she spoke without any restraint.
Qin Susu blinked:
"Ouch..."
Suddenly, she clutched her abdomen in pain and squatted down on the ground.
"My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much..."
"Susu!" Qiu Yan squatted down, and saw Qin Susu raise an eyebrow at her.
Just as the two soldiers got close, Qin Susu grabbed one of them with each hand.
"Certainly!"
They pressed their acupoints.
The two were frozen in place, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't escape.
"Xiaoyan, run!"
Before running away, Qin Susu made sure to take the grapes that Qiu Yan had already given her.
Seeing the admiration in Qiu Yan's eyes, Qin Susu's previously exhausted body was instantly filled with strength.
The two men rode their horses at full speed.
The two soldiers behind him were in a hurry, muttering something unintelligible.
Anyway, Qiu Yan and Qin Susu couldn't understand a single word.
Once they were sure it was safe, they slowed their pace.
The two dismounted, drank some water, and ate some dry rations they had prepared beforehand.
After feeding the horses some more hay, they continued on their way.
This line of work is said to have gone through eighty-one tribulations.
"Xiaoyan, what's that?" Qin Susu pointed at the unidentified object in front of her, her curiosity piqued.
Qiu Yan looked around,
Several camels were leisurely strolling in the distance, and before the two could get close, they took off running away quickly.
"It's a camel."
"Camel? What species is that?"
"Didn't you just see it? It looks just like that."
"Wow, I've learned something new today. But Xiaoyan, how do you know what a camel is?"
"I read it in a book." Qiu Yan attributed anything she couldn't explain to books.
"Then I'll read more books from now on, so you won't think I'm ignorant or strange."
The two talked as they rode their horses forward.
The horses seemed to resist this place; they trotted slowly, their feet sinking deep into the mud.
Qiu Yan knew that the horse was tired, so she stopped urging it on and simply stopped to rest for a while.
Fifteen minutes later, they continued on their way.
Gradually, they had been walking for two or three hours.
The weather is a bit irritating right now, but the desert temperature is still bearable.
However, looking at the setting sun, Qiu Yan couldn't help but frown.
They didn't have a compass and couldn't tell directions.
As the sun began to set, without any camping equipment, they faced the prospect of spending the rest of their time in the desert, struggling to avoid starvation and the biting cold.
They only had a single layer of clothing.
But do they have any other choice?
"Xiaoyan, let me rest for a while, I'm too tired."
Qin Susu dismounted and lay down directly on the soft sand, her eyes slightly closed.
"I must say, it's quite comfortable. You should lie down for a while too."
Qiu Yan also dismounted and saw two small, shadowy figures ahead. She waved vigorously.
"Hey..." she shouted a few times, but all that was left for her was a receding figure and a series of increasingly smaller footprints.
What could she do? What else could she do?
Qiu Yan knelt down beside Qin Susu, preparing to rest for a while before continuing her journey.
