who and the rivers and lakes

Ah Yue supported Zhan Zhao, and stood together in the sandstorm where the sky and the earth seemed to be reversed.

The sandstorm became more violent. In front of them, behind them, and under their feet in the sky, there were corpses and limbs, various broken weapons, and dead horses that had been scattered by the wind and yellow sand.

If it wasn't for the two of them supporting each other, if it wasn't for Zhan Zhao's exhaustion of kung fu to fight, I'm afraid they would have been sucked into the midair long ago, leaving no bones left.

But they couldn't hold on for too long, both of them were exhausted.

A dilapidated square table bumped towards them head-on with the sound of wind.

Gritting his teeth, Zhan Zhao drew up his last bit of true energy, and turned around to stand in front of Ah Yue.

The square table hit Zhan Zhao's back heavily, and the zhenqi he poured into his back shattered into thousands of pieces, which instantly scattered into the wind and sand.

All the remaining true energy in Zhan Zhao's body was also completely dissipated by the square table, blood gushed out of his mouth, and slowly fell on Ah Yue's body.

With tears in her eyes, Ah Yue gently hugged Zhan Zhao, and slowly sat down on the ground.

She lowered her head, looked at him lovingly, and reached out to wipe away the blood that kept flowing from his mouth.

Zhan Zhao frowned in pain, but looked at her with a slight smile, and said softly, "We... still... failed to get out of the sandstorm, but unfortunately... you too..."

Ah Yue smiled and shook her head, tears rolling down her cheeks.She looked down at Zhan Zhao's closed eyes, then looked up at the cloudy, yellow and chaotic sky. She was so sad that her heart ached, and she murmured, "God, you won't be so unfair, right? You won't hurt Nice guy, right?"

Suddenly her mind became clear, and the earnest pleas of the townspeople in Qiongta Town seemed to be in front of her eyes again. In the vast desert, people are so small, and their lives are so fragile, but their desire to survive is so weak. How tenacious.

She tightly held Zhan Zhao's unconscious hand, slowly closed her eyes, and began to pray silently in her heart.

She had never prayed so hard, and she had never believed so devoutly in the supreme power in the dark.

Her flustered heart gradually settled down, and her trembling body also stabilized.

She prayed, and did not pray for the mercy of God for Zhan Zhao's life, nor did she pray for her own life, she just concentrated on praising, before she died, praising the beauty and strength of life itself.

As if moved by her prayer, the sky spun, the yellow sand turned in the same direction, and a piece of blue sky gradually appeared above their heads.

A blue sky high and far away, so blue that it is dazzling and transparent.There are still traces of white clouds in the blue sky, and the brilliant golden sun is shining down on her body, and also on Zhan Zhao's face...

Ah Yue unknowingly stopped praying and looked up at the blue sky above her head.

She had never seen a bluer and more beautiful sky.I don't know how long she watched it, but her neck was stiff and sore.When she lowered her head, she saw that Zhan Zhao had opened his eyes and was also staring at the blue sky above his head, his eyes full of admiration.

They looked up and saw that the blue sky was slowly expanding, and the tumbling yellow sand gradually calmed down, slowly expanding and moving away from them.

They sat up straight slowly, and saw that huge ball of yellow sand that was still rolling was like a giant standing upright, striding frantically towards the depths of the desert.

There were corpses and bloodstains everywhere around them, and the five thousand Xixia troops were almost completely destroyed in this sandstorm.

Only the two of them survived.

They looked at each other, and the terrified eyes were filled with the ecstasy of the survivors.

Zhan Zhao still had difficulty moving, but he struggled, stood up staggeringly, and said in a trembling voice, "Why is this happening? Could it be that God is really merciful?"

Ah Yue also had an expression of disbelief on her face.She still remembered her extremely devout prayer before. Could it be that the power that dominates everything in the dark really heard her heart?still……

She said: "Maybe it's God's mercy, maybe it's just our luck. I heard Wu... Wu shopkeeper said that the sandstorm looks the most violent on the outside, but the center is the most peaceful. Maybe we keep walking , Inadvertently walked into the center of the sandstorm and survived."

When mentioning shopkeeper Wu, her heart still hurts. Although she has admitted in her heart that he is her father, she still can't say it out of her mouth.

Zhan Zhao said: "Let's go, I hope there will be Xixia soldiers who are as lucky as us, can escape from this difficulty, and go home safely."

The two supported each other, staggered, and walked towards Qiongta Town.

Ah Yue seemed to have endless thoughts in her heart, she lowered her head and said nothing.If she meets Zhan Zhao's eyes by chance, she will smile softly, the smile is still sweet, but it also contains sadness and reluctance.

Looking at the city wall of Qiongta Town from a distance, the city wall is almost complete. With the help of the Moonlight Clan, Qiongta Town and the townspeople inside escaped the catastrophe again.

The two jumped off the city wall one after the other, but Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua had been waiting on the city wall to look out. When they saw Zhan Zhao and A Yue, they ran over to greet them.

Bai Yutang approached, with his mouth open, but he pretended to be angry, and punched Zhan Zhao on the shoulder, and said, "You stinky cat, you wanted to seek death yourself, and you arranged for it in a serious way. Everyone's task. If there are such insidious schemes in the future, you must let me know in advance."

Zhan Zhao was staggered by him, almost fell to the ground, Ding Yuehua rushed to support him, and complained to Bai Yutang, "He was injured so badly, you are not serious."

Bai Yutang saw that Zhan Zhao's face was pale and sweaty, and he knew that he had hit hard, and he felt guilty, but he said, "He is Zhan Zhao, he can hold on. Besides, he also beat me before, and now it's even. .”

Ding Yuehua glared at him, and cursed: "Brother Zhan was there to save you, so he had no choice but to knock you down. What are you doing now? Are you still arguing? Why don't you hurry up and help Brother Zhan?"

Bai Yutang said: "What are you supporting? Mother-in-law's. Why don't you just let me carry him on your shoulders?"

He complained, but still listened to what Ding Yuehua said, and supported Zhan Zhao with her.

They walked in front, no one noticed, at some point, Ah Yue who had been supporting Zhan Zhao let go of her hand and silently fell behind.

Zhan Zhao heard Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua bickering incessantly, and couldn't help smiling.His ears were almost numb by the roar of the sandstorm, but now it seemed as if he heard some beautiful music, which was indescribably kind.

After walking for a while, Zhan Zhao suddenly remembered something, looked back, and saw Ah Yue followed far behind with her head bowed.He wanted to say something, thought about it, but didn't say it, turned his head and continued walking.

Ah Yue also seemed to feel something, raised her head, but only saw the back of Zhan Zhao walking forward.She looked at the three people in front of her, and said to herself in her heart: "They should be the people next to Brother Zhan, I am not with them."

Zhan Zhao rested for two days. Early this morning, he, Bai Yutang and Ding Yuehua packed their bags and prepared to leave for Kaifeng Mansion.

Ah Yue sent them outside Qiongta Town, and then stood still.

Ding Yuehua asked: "Sister Ah Yue, are you sure you won't go back to the Central Plains with us?"

Ah Yue shook her head and said, "I've thought about it, my roots are already in this desert, and the people here need me the most."

She spoke firmly, but her heart was shaken for a moment, she thought: "If brother Zhan said that he also needs me and hopes that I can go with him, will I go?" This thought flashed in her heart In the blink of an eye, she already knew that she would never leave the townspeople, and Zhan Zhao would not ask her to go with her.

As expected, Zhan Zhao didn't say anything, just smiled at her, the warm smile made her heart ache.

After Zhan Zhao and the others walked far away, Ah Yue said softly, "Brother Zhan, goodbye, take care."

Zhan Zhao seemed to have heard her farewell, suddenly turned around and waved to her, then turned back and continued walking.

He looked back at her, his eyes were so clear, and his smile was so gentle, she thought she would treasure this look and smile deep in her heart and remember it forever.
