"The wind and sand were too strong. I was in the car, but when I heard someone calling me, I got out. As I was walking, the wind stopped and I got lost." Ji Huaichuan tightly grasped the wooden stick in his hand and said in a low voice.
"You must have suffered a lot along the way, so you must be thirsty. Xiaohua, do we have any water?" Looking at the dirty Ji Huaichuan, Wuxie turned and asked Jie Yuchen.
Xie Yuchen took out a kettle and handed it to Wuxie. Wuxie took it and shook it. That was it, there was no water in both kettles.
“There’s no water in this one either!”
"I... I still have a little bit left, give it to you." Ji Huaichuan took out a large water cup from his bag. There was still more than half a bottle of water in the cup, which was filled by Zhang Qiling for him.
"I'm not thirsty, you guys drink first!" It's just a little water. I can do a favor and get a little wealth. Why not do it? Master is right!
"Thank you! I'll treat you to a meal when we get back." Wuxie patted Ji Huaichuan's shoulder and said happily.
Unexpectedly, after this slap, Ji Huaichuan fell to the ground and became unconscious.
Wuxie panicked, looking at Ji Huaichuan lying on the ground. Wuxie looked at Jie Yuchen helplessly. He didn't use any strength, so how could he fall?
Xie Yuchen squatted down to take a look. He saw that he had fainted from overwork. Then he looked up and said to Wuxie, "Don't be afraid. He is just too tired. Let him have a good rest."
Ji Huaichuan opened his eyes again and felt himself moving. He tilted his head and smelled the scent of woodbrush flowers. It was Zhang Qiling. His originally alert nerves immediately relaxed.
"I'm late." Zhang Qiling said softly after noticing that Ji Huaichuan had woken up.
"But you're here!" Ji Huaichuan also whispered in Zhang Qiling's ear. He was in a daze and didn't know that Zhang Qiling's earlobe had turned red because of his words.
Ji Huaichuan felt that he hadn't seen Zhang Qiling for a long time. He was too relaxed and wanted to fall into a deep sleep, but he couldn't. He had to get down and walk by himself. He didn't want Zhang Qiling to get tired by carrying him.
"Put me down, I can walk by myself." Ji Huaichuan patted Zhang Qiling on the back and said.
The moment Ji Huaichuan stood still, he clearly felt that Zhang Qiling had become even more silent. Alas, this man's thoughts were becoming more and more difficult to guess day by day.
"Where are Wuxie and the others?" Ji Huaichuan walked for a long time and finally remembered that Wuxie and Jie Yuchen were missing, so he asked.
“Sent back.”
"Car?"
"Um"
After hearing what Zhang Qiling said, Ji Huaichuan stopped with a look of confusion and looked at Zhang Qiling as if he was a little fool. Seeing Ji Huaichuan stop, Zhang Qiling also stopped where he was.
"Why don't we take the car but walk?" Ji Huaichuan asked.
“…”
Faced with Ji Huaichuan's questions, Zhang Qiling did not think that he had done anything wrong. He just wanted to spend some time alone with Ji Huaichuan. How could he have any bad intentions?
Ji Huaichuan stood there and looked at the silent Zhang Qiling. He guessed a little bit of the reason and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth but then tried hard to suppress it.
"Hehe, you insist on walking with me even though we have a car. I won't do that. Then just continue to carry me on your back!" As he said that, he jumped onto Zhang Qiling's back nimbly. His movements became more and more skillful, without any sign of stagnation.
Zhang Qiling carefully protected Ji Huaichuan who jumped on him in a hurry, and only started on his way after making sure Ji Huaichuan was lying down.
Zhang Qiling walked very slowly, and it was almost dark when he returned to his new safe haven. Ji Huaichuan on his back had already fallen into a drowsy sleep, so he naturally missed the glimpse of the Emei moon beside Zhang Qiling's mouth, which was hidden by the desert and the sunset.
"Brother, you are finally back..."
Wuxie saw the two of them from a distance and ran over excitedly. When he got close, he found that Ji Huaichuan had fallen asleep, so he quickly fell silent.
Zhang Qiling nodded to Wuxie and took Ji Huaichuan to the tent.
…
"The other four, Lao Gao, Da Wang, A K and Pi Dan, are still missing." Aning said after counting the number of people.
"We've suffered heavy losses just on our way. What are we going to do in the future?" complained a mercenary.
"We've searched everywhere we can. Let's wait and see." Hei Xia Zi said as he stirred the fire.
"Old Gao has a compass, he should be able to find this place." Wuxie said.
"Hey, brother, is Xiaochuan still not awake?" Wuxie asked.
Zhang Qiling was sitting on the ground wiping a knife. When he heard Wuxie talking, he turned around and looked at him and shook his head. It seemed that he had not woken up yet.
"Then I'll go get him something to eat. He hasn't eaten all day and he will definitely be hungry when he wakes up soon." After saying that, Wuxie got up and walked into the tent.
Seeing this, Hei Xiazi followed and said, "Hey, Master San, why are you so worried about Xiao Chuan'er?"
"Ah... me? I just saw that he hadn't eaten for a day, and I was worried that he would be hungry." Wuxie stammered as he said this.
Hei Xia Zi looked at Wu Xie and said with a smile, "No need. Master Huaer has already prepared it and is just waiting for Xiao Chuaner to wake up."
Zhang Qiling saw the two of them leave and returned to his tent. What made him unhappy was that as soon as he entered the tent, he saw Jie Yuchen fetching water and wiping Ji Huaichuan's face and hands, almost feeding him himself.
Ji Huaichuan just sat there obediently, letting Jie Yuchen play with him without even refusing!
Zhang Qiling couldn't help but walk a little louder, successfully attracting the attention of the two people. Ji Huaichuan tilted his head slightly, put on a nice smile, and said excitedly: "Zhang Qiling, you are finally back!"
"Um"
Ji Huaichuan seemed not to notice Zhang Qiling's displeasure and continued, "I've been waiting for a long time and I'm really hungry. Xiaohua happened to come and helped me get something to eat and even wiped my hands."
