1755 There Is No Unparalleled Road in the Sky
When Qiushuang couldn't hold on any longer, she finally found the trace of the oasis!
Ahead is a small town, with rows of wooden walls enclosing an oasis in the center. There are scratches from animal claws everywhere on these walls, and the people who watch it are shocking. But now Qiushuang was extremely excited. Seeing the oasis meant that the two of them could survive.
Qiu Shuang pulled Li Fan and almost moved to the gate of the town.
"Please, please...help us..."
Qiushuang's voice had long been hoarse, both of her hands were bitten, and the wrapped cloth strips were stained with blood. She knocked on the door desperately, with a hoarse voice, shouting again and again.
After a long time, two stooped figures emerged from the city wall.
"Where did it come from?"
"White City."
Qiushuang is very smart, she will not say that she is from the imperial capital. When you come to this place, the more noble your status is, the more you will be discriminated against.
"We are all expelled now, please take the two of us in."
"A tribute."
The two people on the city wall had no feelings at all, and threw out two words very mechanically.
Qiushuang reached out and took off a string of necklaces from her jade neck.
There is a jade pendant hanging on the necklace, which is a good piece of jade, the only relic left to her by Qiushuang's mother a long time ago. But now, for Li Fan's sake, she had to hand over this.
The first prince and the second prince also intentionally did not confiscate this thing, their wish was to leave such a way out for their imperial sister.
What the two wanted to kill was the queen, not their own imperial sister. Now that the queen has abdicated, there is no need for brotherhood.
"That's right, it's Kuaihaoyu, worth a few immortal crystals."
The city guards fished up the jade pendant with a rope, and put it on a steelyard for judgment.
Qiushuang didn't say anything, this piece of jade was worth at least tens of thousands of immortal crystals. But here, these naturally have no value. To live is the only value.
"come in."
The city gate was finally lifted slowly, and a small oasis opened its arms to Qiushuang.
It is indeed a small oasis. The so-called towns are nothing more than small tribes with tents set up one by one. The tent is built around a pool with an area of more than 30 square meters. There are not many residents here, maybe more than a hundred people.
Qiu Shuang and Li Fan are the new residents here, and these residents are responsible for mining a special silver mine near the oasis. This silver mine can be used to make seals, weapons, and armor with space attributes.
The same is true of this tribe, next to a small silver mine. If the residents in the tribe want to survive, they must continue to go to the silver mines for mining. And every week, residents of each oasis must pay 100 kilograms of silver ore to the mayor of the oasis. And every month, troops would come here to confiscate the silver mines from the mayor.
This is the only value of the wild land.
Since Qiushuang became a member of the town, she was naturally allocated a small tent as her living space. And because Li Fan lost the ability to move, Qiu Shuang had to pay at least 200 kilograms of silver mines every week, so that both of them had the right to survive in the oasis.
Everyone is an outcast, and everyone hardly communicates with each other, and they are also very indifferent to each other. Qiu Shuang went out with the townspeople every day to go to the silver mine for mining. After a few days, Qiushuang's skin became darker, and her whole body was a bit vicissitudes, and it was almost impossible to see that she was an empress.
"Come on, sir, drink some water."
Qiushuang bought some water and food with the fairy crystals she bought. The food here is very dull, just some kind of fruit from the plants near the water source. Although it is not delicious, but at least it can sustain life.
During this period of time, Li Fan still didn't say a word. He just lay there every day like a dead man. But Qiushuang took good care of Li Fan, scrubbed his body every day, and often brought back some dark stones to treat Li Fan.
These stones are called dark mothers, and they are only produced in wild lands. It is said that they are stones formed by the secretion of a kind of insect in the wild land. This stone has no other effect, but it can weakly replenish immortal power. Qiushuang herself has already taken away her dharma body, and these stones are meaningless to her. But for Li Fan, it should be more or less effective.
The Dark Mother was mentioned by the Fourth Prince privately to Qiu Shuang. Apart from the two of them, the other royal families, even the Elders' Council, did not know of the existence of such a thing.
Qiu Shuang thought to herself, after having these dark mothers, her husband's body will recover slowly.
A month later, Qiushuang woke up as usual, gave Li Fan water and food first, then carried her own tools, followed the large army, and went out of the town to the silver mine not far to the west.
There was a wind and sand in the barren land. According to some old people, once the wind and sand blows in the barren land, one must be extremely careful. Perhaps, the terrifying sandworm is hidden in it.
Sandworms are unique insects in the wild land. These insects are three to four meters long and like to eat people. And those who were expelled were all powerless sinners, they had no way to fight against the sandworms. Therefore, from time to time, some unlucky ghosts will be buried in the belly of the sandworm. Fortunately, things like sandworms only appear at night. But for some reason, Qiushuang always had a faint feeling in her heart.
A fishy smell floated into Qiushuang's nose, and then, there was a scream from the side!
When Qiushuang turned her head, she saw a sandworm more than three meters long, which came out of the sand without a sound, and then waved its claws. In the wind and sand, it tore a companion beside her in half, and then swallowed it. belly. The bug smell on it was so strong that Qiushuang wanted to spit it out in disgust.
Death is by my side.
Sandworms raged, hunting those who fled in panic.
Qiushuang is also running, she can't die, if she dies, no one cares about her husband!
live!
Qiushuang said to herself, she must live on!
But in the next second, the terrifying sandworm had already rushed in front of him.
Husband...
"puff!"
Sandworm's head suddenly flew high, and a figure wrapped in a black cloak was standing in front of him holding a machete.
"Third princess, are you okay?"
A familiar voice rang in Qiushuang's ear.
"Butler Wang?"
The elderly man in front of him was the old housekeeper who had been with his father for many years. When the father abdicated, I heard that he also disappeared, why did he appear here?
