【Chapter 151】Fortune and misfortune lie in
The first ray of sunshine in the morning spread to the entrance of the sand cave. Li Li opened his hazy eyes slightly, and then his heart sank, and hardship came again.
Li Li has never hated the sunshine as much as he is now. Compared to the sunshine, he would rather stay in the dark.
Because he is not so hungry in the dark night, he lies quietly in the sand cave without having to bear the torment of scorching sun above his head and scalding sand on his feet.
However, the cruel facts are right in front of you and Li Li cannot hide.
Today is the day that determines his life and death with Dian Wuxia.
Three days and four nights have passed, can they survive the fourth day?
Looking at Dian Wuxia who was sleeping sweetly in his arms, a warm smile appeared on Li Li's face. In an instant, he was refreshed and his fighting spirit returned.
If Li Li is alone here, he will die if he dies and cannot get out of the desert, but he will die. What's the point of fear?
However, with this woman who loves her deeply, Li Li doesn't want to die. His desire to survive is unprecedentedly strong.
Gently put Dian Wuxia beside him, Li Li stood up carefully and drilled out of the narrow hole that was covered by the wind and sand at night. He climbed to the top of the dune again, looking up at the rising morning glow.
At this moment, Li Li felt confused, helpless and confused, but he was both excited, full of fighting spirit and ambitious.
In the desert, this demon who eats people and does not vomit bones is ruthless and unwilling, but it makes him and Dian Wuxia live and die in a vast world, suffering from the scorching sun, hunger and thirst.
It’s the fourth day, life and death are settled before the sun sets today.
Although his abdomen was empty and his mouth was dry and his tongue was hoarse, Li Li was unwilling to face the scorching sun and wind and sand of the new day with a dejected look.
"ah---"
In the evening, Li Li looked into the rolling sand dunes and shouted, venting his unwillingness and ambitions in his heart.
"Wenchang, what are you doing? Are you offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings?" Dian Wuxia's worried voice came from behind.
"Sacrificing to heaven and praying for blessings?" Li Li turned around in shock, looking at Dian Wuxia slowly walking towards him with a blank look on his face.
Dian Wuxia climbed to the top of the mountain, snuggled gently in Li Li's arms, and said with a serious expression: "Yes, there are many tribes in the Western Regions that have wizards and national teachers. The Qiang tribes also have priests. They use ancient war songs to pray to the heavens, pray for God to give their tribes a healthy and peaceful life, and there are war songs to go to war for sacrifices and pray for God to bless peace.
The sound of your screaming to the sky just now is very similar to an ancient war song. Aren’t you praying for blessings to God?”
"Is it useful to pray to the heavens?" Li Li said in surprise.
Dian Wuxia raised his hand to stroke the ends of his hair on his temples and said softly: "It's useful or not, I don't know. But I know that you Han people call the emperor the true dragon emperor. Most of the wise emperors of all dynasties have a deep blessing and will be lucky when they are killed. This is not like this, but most kings are like this, and they are blessed by heaven. Therefore, it is better to believe in the theory of destiny than to believe in the absence of it. What do you think?"
Li Li was shocked when he heard this. Then he had to admit that Dian Wuxia was right.
For thousands of years, countless kings have been in charge of the will of heaven, and have suffered repeated disasters, but eventually succeeded in the succession. Even the great man of later generations, the Commissioner Mao, had a destiny. He had many disasters and difficulties in the first half of his life. However, he was shocked and finally reached the top. He was a powerful figure and founded his unparalleled achievements.
The saying of being blessed by heaven that has been passed down for thousands of years is a rootless duckweed, absurd and rumor!
For a moment, Li Li's thoughts flew out and was stunned and lost.
After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, but found that Dian Wuxia looked at him with a pair of big watery eyes, with a strong love and a look of admiration in his eyes.
"What's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?" Li Li asked inexplicably.
Dian Wuxia raised her toes lightly, hugged Li Li's neck excitedly, and suddenly kissed Li Li hard, saying in surprise: "We are saved, you are the ones blessed by God! Hahaha---"
Li Li raised his hand and touched Dian Wuxia's forehead, and said in surprise: "You don't have a fever, why are you just saying something inexplicable? This is the desert, who will come to save us? Besides, although I have many soldiers and horses, we can't figure out what place it is. How could they come to save us! Wuxia, did you not sleep well last night and talk nonsense when you get up early in the morning?"
Seeing that Li Li didn't believe her words, Dian Wuxia let go of Li Li, pushed him and turned around, facing the rising sun in the east.
"Uh, what's going on? The sun just now has risen, but now it suddenly shrinks back. It's covered with dark clouds. It's going to turn rain!"
In an instant, Li Li finally knew what Dian Wuxia asked him to see. It turned out that the weather was changing and it was going to rain.
"It's changing, it's raining?"
Suddenly, Li Li's expression changed suddenly and was inexplicably surprised.
If it really rains, then I and Dian Wuxia will not die of thirst, nor will they be sunburned, and there is still a possibility of survival!
In addition to being surprised, Li Li picked up Dian Wuxia and turned five or six times on the top of the mountain until his feet were unstable and he was unable to succeed. The two fell on the yellow sand, staring at each other and laughing.
"Okay, it's great! As long as there is a heavy rain, we will have a glimmer of hope and will not die for the time being!" Li Li hugged Dian Wuxia and said.
"Heavy rain? Wenchang, it's already autumn, there will be heavy rain? You are talking nonsense again!" Dian Wuxia said correctively.
"Yeah!"
Li Li kissed Dian Wuxia's sexy and charming lips heavily and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I, Li Li, said, "If you have it, you must have it! It's early September, the turn of summer and autumn, and it's normal for the next heavy rain! Besides, this year, there is a severe drought, and there has not been a heavy rain for most of the year. Now it's time to get heavy rain. My Wuwei County is in ruins, and a large amount of land has just been planted. It's raining now, and there will definitely be a good harvest next summer!"
"You are hard to protect yourself, and you are still thinking about the affairs of Wuwei County. You are really stubborn! But I, Dian Wuxia, should be like this. You are both beautiful and beautiful, and you will prepare for your own battles and ambitions in the world! Hahaha!" Dian Wuxia said seriously.
Li Li was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then hugged Dian Wuxia's waist with a smirk. He said, "The country is too far away, but the beauty is close to you. You can't delay it anymore!"
As he spoke, Li Li turned over and pressed Dian Wuxia under his body, and a big mouth was printed on Dian Wuxia's lips.
“Hohuh!”
The howling north wind is getting stronger and stronger, and there is still a hint of moisture in the wind. The yellow sand drifting with the wind falls one after another. Then the sand particles in the wind are getting less and less, the moisture is getting bigger and bigger, and the rain is about to fall!
"Huh! Stop messing around Wenchang. It's going to rain soon. Let's quickly strengthen the sand cave. If it really rains like you said, our sand cave will probably collapse if it can't withstand the rain erosion!"
Dian Wuxia was so breathless that she was kissed by Li Li. She gently pushed away the excited Li Li away and said gasping.
"Well? Yes, why did I forget this? It's just that the sand dunes are loose and cannot stop the rain. The sand cave on the top of our mountain will collapse sooner or later, and we will become a chicken that falls into pieces. Flawless, why don't we find another solid place to shelter from the rain?" Li Li said thinking.
Dian Wuxia immediately stood up and helped Li Li up, "Okay. Wherever you say you will go, we will go. Let's leave now!"
Li Li turned over and pointed to the highest sand peak several miles away, "It's there, I just saw it by chance. The dune mountain is very irregular. It should be a mountain that has become a sand dune after being weathered by the desert. We went there to shelter from the rain. Maybe we could find food!"
Dian Wuxia had no objection to this, and then the two of them ran along the ridge, with extremely light steps.
When a person is most helpless, his energy and spirit will quickly become decadent, but after seeing hope, he can burst out with powerful potential and sweep away the decadent energy.
This is what Li Li said at this time.
Hunger and thirst for several consecutive days made him weak and listless, but at this moment, he saw the hope of survival, his spirit suddenly came, his strength quickly rose and he was full of energy.
But this is also his final potential explosion. If there was no upcoming rain, this potential might never be discovered.
"Wow!"
Just when Li Li and Dian Wuxia finally climbed the highest hill within a radius of dozens of miles, heavy rain came as scheduled, and as Li Li said, it was a pouring rain that was rare after autumn began.
The raindrops as big as beans hit Li Li and Dian Wuxia. In an instant, they couldn't help but tremble. Then they quickly dig open the sand under a convex stone cliff with their hands, hoping to dig out a hiding place under the stone cliff.
Soon, the only little clothes on the two of them were soaked, and the sand hole was dug. Although it was not as good as the previous sand hole, there was finally a temporary shelter from the rain.
The two people who were soaked all over were no longer thirsty, but they were trembling with coldness.
Under the cliff, Li Li hugged Dian Wuxia, who was curled up in a ball of cold, and used his body to give Dian Wuxia a hint of warmth. But he himself was so cold that his lips turned blue and the corners of his mouth twitched, but he held back and didn't make a sound.
This is the case in the desert. It is hot if there is the sun, it is cold if there is no sun, and there is no moderate choice.
Because there are winds all year round here, when the sun comes out, it is hot wind; when it rains, it is even louder and it is cold wind.
The heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier. The violent north wind blew the raindrops into the cave under the stone cliff, making Li Li and Dian Wuxia all over the rain.
The rain that was blown by the wind was continuous, making the stone cave where Li Li and Dian Wuxia hid in sheltered from the rain a moment later became a water cellar. Gradually, the rain was not enough to reach their knees, forcing them to bow their bodies, stick their backs against the stone wall, and stand in the water cellar.
The water cellar became deeper and deeper, gradually rising to the thighs of the two people. The sand piles around the cave not only did not absorb water, but also overflowed a lot of water and gathered in the low-lying areas of the cave, making it increasingly difficult for Li Li and Dian Wuxia to gain a foothold.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Dian Wuxia screamed and quickly hid behind Li Li.
When Li Li saw the thing that made Dian Wuxia scream, he suddenly felt joy in his eyebrows. In an instant, he put his right hand under the water, and then his hand was like lightning, grabbing its seven inches.
This is a yellow-ched snake weighing three or five pounds. It looks fierce, but in fact it is a non-toxic snake. It is a good food, warming and replenishing cold, and can prevent general skin diseases or physical weakness. However, if there is any injury on the body, it will aggravate the injury and delay the healing of the wound.
In Li Li's eyes, this big snake is more precious than a thousand taels of gold. This is a life-saving thing for him and Dian Wuxia, and it is extremely precious.
"Ah! Wenchang——!"
Just as Li Li was secretly glad, Dian Wuxia, who was behind him, screamed again, and her voice became farther and farther away, and she didn't even finish her words.
In an instant, Li Li was shocked and turned around quickly. Unexpectedly, the accumulated water that was not as close as his thigh under the stone cliff suddenly surged downward, causing his feet to become unstable and staggered into the water, rushing down to the bottom of the cave along the accumulated water.
At this time, Li Li suddenly realized that a black hole as big as a clay tank appeared at the bottom of the cave where Dian Wuxia had just stood, and Dian Wuxia was no longer visible, and he was rapidly pouring into the black hole with the accumulated water. (To be continued)
