Today, in this vast northern desert, is the most they have eaten in months.
Gu Xiaoran, who had eaten and drunk her fill, had a dirty face and tear stains still on her cheeks.
“Mother…I really saw her. I swear, I didn’t see it wrong!”
Gu Xiaoran murmured to himself, and seeing that Xuanming Xuanying didn't respond, he took a few quick steps forward.
He was afraid that his mother would suddenly leave, so now that he had seen her, why not give it a shot?
However, he held back because of those barbarian soldiers.
“Young master, your mother is at home, not here.” Xuan Ying shook her head inwardly. She had just coaxed him, why was he starting to nag again?
Those people's crossbows are indiscriminate.
As he spoke,
Pfft...
The long arrow flew straight at him, striking a young man beside him who was trying to escape.
The man clutched his chest in pain, and in endless regret, closed his eyes forever.
Gu Xiaoran felt a lingering fear.
Just now, if he had rushed out, he would have been met with merciless arrows.
A chill ran down his spine; at such a young age, he was experiencing the fragility of life for the first time.
"Mother..." Gu Xiaoran's hopes were dashed time and time again, and she began to sob softly.
"Is it because Xiao Ran has been naughty that her mother doesn't want her anymore? She's hanging out with those awful people and doesn't care about Xiao Ran at all."
“No, young master.” Xuanming was also helpless. He patiently explained, “Your mother is not here.”
Xuan Ying: "Young master, eat your meal properly. After you finish eating, I will take you to find your mother."
Xuanming and Xuanying didn't believe Gu Xiaoran's words at all.
This time, Xuan Ying's words were certain.
Once they've eaten and drunk their fill, they'll have plenty of energy to escape.
Right now, aren't we replenishing our energy?
He felt that he was now full of energy.
"Yes, I want to find my mother, I want to go home and find my mother!" Gu Xiaoran finally smiled through her tears.
Inside the yurt, Qiu Yan and the other two were also having dinner.
Vera and Ap also dined together.
Having witnessed Huyanxun's brutality firsthand, Vera did not want to linger any longer.
At the dinner table, Qiu Yan repeated her words about leaving that evening.
She was distracted because of Gu Qian.
Throughout the entire eating process, she was thinking about how to escape.
Ling Ba echoed, Qin Susu wholeheartedly agreed, and Apu was also eager to leave this bloody place.
Vera nodded in agreement and quickened her pace.
"Qiu Yan, are you enjoying the food?" Just then, Hu Yanxun lifted the curtain and entered.
Upon seeing Ling Ba and the others, they completely ignored them, simply smiling at Qiu Yan and waiting for her reply.
When Huyan Xun arrived, Vera thought of the innocent Western Rong people, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.
Qiu Yan said calmly, "It's a habit."
During the famine, she had eaten everything, let alone meat and milk tea.
She asked, "Is the hunt about to begin?"
"There's still a quarter of an hour left, you can eat first."
The reason Huyan Xun brought Qiu Yan along was to intimidate her and make her fear him.
After saying that, he handed the crossbow in his hand to Qiu Yan: "In a moment, let me see your performance. If you win, this Chanyu's scimitar will be yours."
Qiu Yan subconsciously touched the sleeve dart on her wrist, recalling the scene when Gu Qian gave it to her.
She shook her head, pushed the crossbow back, and was the first to leave the yurt.
"Don't want it?" Huyan Xun's face showed annoyance. He turned around and handed the crossbow in his hand to Qin Susu.
"Stupid woman, she doesn't want it, you can have it!"
Qin Susu was forced to accept it, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the crossbow in her hand.
