Chapter 088 Sobering Up

Lin Hong woke up in an earthen hut with a severe headache. He was completely dazed looking at the deserted desert thousands of miles away.

The sun shines on the bare yellow sand in the daytime, giving it a dazzling golden color. The dunes are undulating, with no grass growing, and the blue sky meets the yellow sand in the distance.

The unmixed blue and yellow are as pure as if the sky and the earth have solidified.

Lin Hong's mind was in a mess, and he began to try to recall what happened last night...

He and Gu Yunshu got drunk...then...they went to... Qunyulou?It seems that I have to drink too much to try whether I still like women... Alone in the room with a sister?

Then...why does he still have Wan Guchuan in his mind...he seems to turn around and leave?

Lin Hong suddenly panicked...

Just as he was thinking, a tall black figure bent over and came in, holding something in his hand, and looked up at him, "Are you awake?"

Lin Hong stared at him and froze.

Wan Guchuan raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"What happened last night? What nonsense did I say or do?" Lin Hong asked.

Wan Guchuan stood there silent for a long time, so long that all kinds of embarrassing things had already happened in Lin Hong's mind...

"Forgot?" Wan Guchuan lowered his eyes, hiding the emotion in his eyes, walked over, and put the porridge and steamed buns in his hand on the earthen table.

When Lin Hong heard this, his heart was about to turn cold, "I forgot... what happened?"

"It's nothing, let's eat." Wan Guchuan put the chopsticks on the bowl.

Lin Hong pursed his lips and looked at him in silence for a while, and finally gave in... "Oh..."

He was indeed hungry, his stomach was rumbling, and he looked at the food on the table, "Where did it come from? There are deserts all around."

"I just walked around and found a few houses." Wan Guchuan turned around to get the Zuigu sword on the earthen platform - he left it for Lin Hong to defend himself just now when he went out by himself.

"This way..." Lin Hong reached for the chopsticks, but suddenly found something red in the palm of his hand. Feeling puzzled, he moved closer to his nose and sniffed.

rouge!

A picture of a girl approaching to kiss him suddenly flashed in his mind...

He wiped his lips with the back of his hand, and there was indeed rouge...

Lin Hong was stunned, wasn't he? ?

Wan Guchuan fixed Zuigu in the leather buckle on his back, turned around and handed Lin Hong a long white cloth, "It's very sunny outside, cover your head later."

Lin Hong was completely dazed, and raised his hand to pick it up dully, only to find that there was something red on Wan Guchuan's thumb, which was exactly the same color as his hand!

Lin Hong:.

Lin Hong:! ! ! !

what happened! !

Was it left when Wan Guchuan wiped his own mouth?

Could it be that he fell in love with his relatives when he was drunk? ?

Because he kissed him, he turned away angrily?

Lin Hong stood up quickly, and took out a handkerchief from his arms, "Hey! Look, you wiped all your food on your mouth!"

He pulled Wan Guchuan and wiped his mouth with his hand.

"..." Wan Guchuan looked down at him, "I haven't eaten anything yet."

Lin Hong: "..."

"That, that's my mistake..." Lin Hong glanced at the white handkerchief, it wasn't red... didn't you kiss?I didn't know if I was relieved or regretted...

Wan Guchuan's eyes fell on the plain handkerchief he was holding, "Isn't this mine?"

Lin Hong: Shit! ! ! !Can he be more embarrassing in the future than today...

Now that it was exposed... Lin Hong reluctantly handed it to him, "I forgot to return it to you..."

Wan Guchuan smiled, "Just keep it."

"Oh..." Lin Hong suppressed his urge to put it in his arms quickly, and slowly put it in his arms.

"Then what do you eat?" Lin Hong looked at the porridge and steamed buns in front of him.

"People here are not rich. You can eat." Wan Guchuan sat near the door, glanced outside, "Eat and go."

"Then I won't eat, I'm not hungry yet." Lin Hong said, "You eat."

"I'm not hungry either."

"..."

In the end, Lin Hong drank the porridge and stuffed the steamed buns to Wan Guchuan.

The desert outside the hut is indeed very sunny.

The noon in the desert is much hotter than the night, so there is no need to wear a cloak, Wan Guchuan wears it all on his shoulders.

Lin Hong wrapped his head and face tightly with the white cloth Wan Guchuan gave him, for fear of getting sunburned.

While thinking brokenly: "It's so dry, so dry, no wonder no grass grows..."

Only a narrow part of the face was exposed, and the eyes looked bigger and brighter, with long eyelashes.

After walking for a while, Lin Hong saw the families Wan Guchuan mentioned.

It is still a small house made of earth, with four or five scattered here and there.Every family is empty.

A few residents stood outside, wrapped in sun-proof headscarves, watching them. Men clasped their hands and women held their children.

Lin Hong couldn't imagine how they made a living.

Wan Guchuan returned the bowl, thanked him, and chatted a few more words.

Lin Hong blinked his eyes and looked at him vigorously.

Not long after, he walked back towards Lin Hong.

"This is the northwest side of the territory of the Dazheng Dynasty, the Natasu Great Desert. The time is the same as the outside - the 23rd year of the Dazheng Dynasty." Wan Guchuan said, "This is the border of the desert. I asked, they We didn’t find anything strange, we still have to go deep into the desert.”

As soon as he heard that he had to leave, Lin Hong was dejected, "Oh..."

The yellow sand is vast, the dunes are undulating, there is no shade, and it is completely exposed to the sun.

Lin Hong was about to be melted by the desert sun, and it was hard to step on the sand, which was soft and loose.

"It's the same everywhere here, are you sure you went right?" Lin Hong wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Anyway, there is no goal, let's go straight." Wan Guchuan was behind him, and his shoulders against the cloak were also soaked in sweat.

Lin Hong turned to look at him, feeling a little emotional for no reason, and it had been a long time since he had seen him again.

Taking advantage of the situation, he remembered how he looked in his dream... in armor, with cold eyes... and the person in front of him was just in casual clothes.

Is the war imminent...

"How is it?" Lin Hong asked him.

Wan Guchuan met Shang Lin Hong's eyes, was silent for a while, raised his hand, and wiped off the sweat on his chin, "It's good."

Lin Hong was taken aback for a moment, his heart fluttered suddenly, and he even forgot what he was going to ask...

"What about you? Have you returned to Pingyang?" Wan Guchuan asked him.

"Well, the bodyguard bureau in Jiangnan is basically up and running, so I'm going back to Pingyang." Lin Hong said.

"Okay, Pingyang, right..." Wan Guchuan already knew the restaurant.

Lin Hong blinked, not knowing why he had to repeat it.

"Continue talking." Wan Guchuan said.

The two stepped on the yellow sand and walked forward tenaciously.

Lin Hong eloquently told him about the bad behavior of the "Luma Escort Bureau" falsely claiming to be "the number one Lu Escort in the south of the Yangtze River".At this moment, the generosity of "it doesn't matter if I give it to you" at that time is completely gone.

Wan Guchuan commented very cooperatively: it is lackluster.

Lin Hong also told how he went to the "Hongmen Banquet", turned his disadvantage into an advantage, and negotiated several business deals at once.

He seemed to be able to do a job with ease, but in fact he was panicked inside. After all, the business situation in Qidu was not particularly outstanding.

Moreover, even in the current situation, I am a little sorry for the rhetoric of "I want the world's number one bodyguard agency" at that time.

Lin Hong spoke dejectedly.

Wan Guchuan laughed.

"Boss Lin's business is doing pretty well." Wan Guchuan said.

"Also," Lin Hong rubbed his nose, "I told my mother about my opening of an escort agency."

Wan Guchuan glanced at him.

"She probably meant to let me go and do it." Lin Hong smiled.

"Very good." Wan Guchuan looked at him, reached out and rubbed his head.

"What are you doing?" Lin Hong patted his hand away, and pushed up the turban covering his eyes, "The turban is crooked!"

Compared with Lin Hong, Wan Guchuan's life is not so colorful.

Wearing cold iron armor to patrol the city wall every day, his hands are too cold to hold the bow steadily, and in the tent, he also looks at the military information coming from all directions.

On the one hand, he wanted to appease the soldiers, and on the other hand, he had to be alert to the movements of the southern barbarians not far away.

The wind is rumbling, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

Wan Guchuan skipped some parts and told Lin Hong to listen.

Lin Hong blurted out, "I saw you."

"Huh?" Wan Guchuan didn't understand what he meant.

Lin Hong wanted to say that I dreamed of you, but felt that it was too strange to say it... "I mean, you described it so well, I imagined that picture."

Wan Guchuan: "..."

The two walked and chatted all the way, and the Huangsha Gobi seemed not so lengthy.

"I can't walk anymore!" Lin Hong lay flat on the spot.

Wan Guchuan glanced at him, then stopped, looking at the surrounding night.

The two really went all the way into the night.

Along the way, the eyes are full of desolate yellow sand, occasionally a large clump of lush cacti, occasionally a large withered tree, and sometimes one or two stubborn grasses...

There was no food at all on the road, and the two of them could only bear with it.

Lin Hong was so thirsty, Wan Guchuan pulled up a plant and asked him to take the juice from the root to make do with it.

Lin Hong: "..."

"Is it the same when you marched in the north?" Lin Hong chewed on the grass roots, wanting to cry but not crying.

Wan Guchuan nodded.

"It's too miserable." Lin Hong wiped away tears.

Sunny, thirsty, hungry and tired, there is nothing worse than this in the world!

At this time, Lin Hong was lying on the icy desert, not wanting to move, but he saw countless stars in the vast night sky, and was stunned.

He has never seen such a gorgeous starry sky!

It is a dark blue sky, crimson purple and dark green looming in it, as if a secret phrase suddenly appeared in an ancient obscure poem, mysterious like a bottomless abyss.

Stars gather, and a bright galaxy slides from one end to the other, twinkling, bright and dark, like thousands of zircons crushed in it, like ice springs splashing, it is a night feast of the nine-day gods that can only be glimpsed in the world.

The wandering gods scattered on both sides of the Milky Way should be wandering gods who live in solitude, eager to see through the depths of the universe, wanting to understand the laws of the operation of all things from their natural loneliness, and wanting to stay out of things to seek the truth.

The city of heaven is prosperous, but the world is desolate.

What Lin Hong felt was not sadness, but the vastness of the universe and its myriad phenomena.

The soul must go upstream with the Milky Way, and forget about hunger.

This moment almost makes people believe eternity.

"Wan Guchuan!" Lin Hong called him loudly.

"Ok?"

"Lie down!" Lin Hong patted the open space beside him, "Come and see!"

"What?" Wan Guchuan walked over, put the cloak on him casually, and lay down beside him.

"You starry sky!" Lin Hong motioned to him for the sky.

Lin Hong couldn't move his eyes when he looked at the starry sky, "I have never seen such a starry sky!"

Thousands of stars fell on his long eyelashes, and fell on his eyes, his joy was undisguised.

Wan Guchuan beside him did not speak.

"Why don't you talk? Isn't it good-looking?" Lin Hong looked at him sideways, but unexpectedly his eyes met.

Lin Hong's heart skipped a beat.

The dark and deep eyebrows resembled the night, the nose was straight and the lips were thin, Lin Hong felt that even the most outstanding sculptor could not carve such an outline.

There was a tenderness in his eyes that didn't even exist in this good night.

"It's beautiful." The deep voice is more deceptive than the sound of the sand dunes in the distance.

Lin Hong's face is burning up, he's going crazy... It's easy to overthink... I beg some people to be more self-conscious...

The night in the desert is still very cold, and even the starry sky has no temperature, it is far away and far away, and it is hard to reach... But the cloak on Lin Hong's body is very warm.

Lin Hong crossed the cloak to cover half of Wan Guchuan, and approached quietly.

Lin Hong sniffed and said pitifully, "We won't sleep here tonight..."

"Yes." Wan Guchuan raised his cloak, turned to face Lin Hong, and put on the cloak again.

It seemed that he just adjusted his posture, but obviously, he was closer to Lin Hong this way.

!Lin Hong didn't mean to drink, and said with a pun: "If this goes on, I might die."

"I can't die, go to sleep." Wan Guchuan said.

"..." Lin Hong felt that his heart was beating too loudly, and he slept together a lot before...

While he was thinking wildly, a huge bang suddenly burst out in the distance!

Startled, the two sat up and looked towards the source of the voice.

Under the gloomy starlight, the sand waves in a radius of ten miles are churning!

Something has risen from beneath the desert!

It rose higher and higher, and the quicksand fell in an uproar!

The scope is too wide!

It was as if the entire desert had set off a stormy sea!

Wan Guchuan pulled Lin Hong up and was vigilant.

Lin Hong was too shocked to speak.

After a few breaths, the desert returned to silence.

Standing in front of the two of them was a huge city stretching for miles!

The buildings in between are the most common mud houses in the desert, row upon row, patchwork.

As the lanterns come on one after another, the sound of human voices and songs pierces through the desolate yellow sand. It seems that the city of heaven has suddenly descended to the world, and it seems that a silent ancient time has come from under the desert.

Desolation is surrounded by prosperity, as if it has been a lifetime away.
