The sun finally got off work, and the huge moon appeared. The desert was as sandy as snow, and the distant sky was dipped in white salt. The temperature dropped a lot, and with the help of ice arrows, the crossing team was saved, and the two horses finally survived. Green grass eats the most delicious food when holding a large piece of ice. God knows, it actually wants to eat bamboo iron the most, but unfortunately there is none here, so it has to eat ice cubes to satisfy its craving. Finally, it didn't eat alone, and didn't forget to share a piece with the two horses. Xi Shuang regained his strength after eating ice cubes, and the blue and white horse also became more energetic.

During the day, Ye Qingkong and the others worked together to shoot three huge ice arrows about 3 meters long. Qingcao and the two horses ate one, Ye Qingkong and Bai Yutang shared one, and the rest was used. Ye Qingping and Zhang Qiucheng, the duo who show off their affection on Ice Cube.

Ye Qingkong crunched and ate the ice, feeling cool and excited, because the ice was made from the clear stream water of Qinghua Valley. The stream water was extremely pure and was a good medicine for the little golden fox poison. Ye Qingkong felt that not only her body was relaxed, but there seemed to be a warmer place in her heart. However, she couldn't care less about exploring now. Bai Yutang used the extra ice to cool down Yin Yue. For some reason, Yin Yue suddenly felt like she had a "high fever" after the sun went down, making people afraid to come near her.

"Master Bai, what should we do? This place is surrounded by yellow sand, deserted, and without food. We can't last long with just ice arrows." Zhang Qiucheng finally stopped worrying about going back for revenge.

Ye Qingkong lay on the ground and looked at the surprisingly big moon in the sky. "Brother Qiucheng, let's not talk about this for now. Do you think the moon is strange? There seems to be a layer of water mist around it. Just now, I tried to hold the snow, and I could pull it by myself. Is it related to this? "Is it related?"

"It should be related. Qingkong, don't you wash your face? It's so hot during the day. It's really uncomfortable. Fortunately, when the moon comes out, the previous pain subsides." Heat." Ye Qingping was washing her face with an ice cube. She couldn't bear her unattractive appearance, so she turned to beauty in just three sentences.

Bai Yutang was also looking at the moon: "Qingkong, don't shoot easily anymore. The ice from Baoxue must be preserved. If I guessed correctly, the amount of ice shot from Baoxue should be equal to the amount of water from the clear stream. "Relevant."

"What will we do if we finish shooting? If I had known better, I would have asked one of you to go back once a month." ." Ye Qingkong regretted not doing a good job of dividing the work at that time.

"Sister Qingkong, you don’t have to worry about this. Now that you have come, make peace with it and think about it in the long term. After all, you have come to a free place. If we stay in Qinghua Valley, we will all be dead." Ye Qingping On the contrary, she likes it here very much. Anyway, as long as she is with the person she loves, it doesn't matter where she is.

"Sister Qingping, let's speak less literate words from now on. It will make people feel strange when meeting people behind us. If there is no time, I will fill in the vernacular for everyone. Otherwise, our dialogue will always be in different time and space. Dislocation is weird. If I go back in time and write a time-travel novel, readers will have dyslexia."

"What is a time-travel novel?" I think of what you said to that demon spirit before, you must not be from Qinghua Valley, right?" Ye Qingping looked at Bai Yutang and Zhang Qiucheng, both of them had normal expressions. It seemed that the two men had already guessed it.

Ye Qingkong smiled: "Sister Qingping, have you just realized it now? Yes, I traveled to Qinghua Valley from modern times and wore it two years ago. You didn't realize that Ye Qingkong's character Has there been any change?"

Ye Qingping thought for a moment and nodded: "No wonder. Don't you know? People in the valley say that you were poisoned by the mute aunt, so your temperament has changed drastically. That's it."

"Miss Qingkong, do you know how to travel back in time?" Zhang Qiucheng entered Zhang's mind again.

Ye Qingkong stroked his forehead: "Brother, you haven't given up yet? What if I knew how to wear it back? Can I run here? In the past two years, I have been exploring everywhere in the valley, and finally I have With a little clue, the hero Bai came, and then, we ended up here without knowing what happened. I have traveled through one more time than you, but I am still blind for the rest.”

二

Bai Yutang suddenly thrust Yin Yue into the sand. When Yin Yue came out of the sand, a red round-headed insect was stuck on the sword head. Ye Qingkong immediately ran over, patted the insects into cakes with his snow-holding end, and then placed them on the straw mat aside. Now there are five red worm cakes neatly placed on the straw mat. Green grass stood aside and streamed.

In the evening, Qingcao dug out such a worm with his claws and swallowed it in one gulp. After that, Qingcao fell in love with this kind of food. Ye Qingkong also caught one, but he vomited after eating a little. The insect was extremely fishy and difficult to swallow. In fact, it tasted a bit like Houttuynia cordata, but Ye Qingkong couldn't eat Houttuynia cordata. Zhang Qiucheng bit the bullet and ate one, and Bai Yutang also ate two without changing his expression. Ye Qingping was stubborn and refused to eat at first, but Zhang Qiucheng forced one into her mouth and she reluctantly ate it. Only Ye Qingkong was left with an empty stomach. Fortunately, she didn't eat much, so she could still hold on.

Bai Yutang immediately decided to catch this kind of bug and store it as dry food, which was temporarily kept by Ye Qingkong. The purpose was to let her adapt to this kind of bug in advance. After all, people have to eat to live.

"Kongkong, give me one. I am also a hero in archery." Qingcao stood aside and begged Ye Qingkong for bugs.

"This is a life-saving meal. Qingcao, I know you are hungry. But we don't know when we will meet other people. These things may be replaced by other delicious foods."

"You won't give it, right? I won't, I'm starving to death. You clearly know that my original wish was for food, and my appetite has increased. Now I don't have anything in my stomach. "If you don't give me food, I will thunder for you and make you noisy to death." After saying that, Qingcao lay straight on the ground, with waves rising and falling on his stomach, and a "rumbling" sound of thunder came from his stomach.

Ye Qingkong laughed so much that he fell to the ground: "Qingcao, you are so funny."

Ye Qingping also laughed so much that she fell to the ground.

Bai Yutang stood up and slapped a bug into the panda's mouth, and the thunder finally stopped.

Zhang Qiucheng looked worried: "Master Bai, where are we going next?"

Bai Yutang looked at the east: "Let's go east. It's not like there are more than a dozen teams. Let's go take a look. In the meantime, we have to find edible food. Also, no one is allowed to think about horses from now on."

Qingkong applauded: "White God, you are truly worthy of being a legendary figure of the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses. From now on, our team will definitely be the richest team on the Blue and White Continent."

"Why is it the richest team?" Ye Qingping was curious.

"Because any team must have its own position, right? We have a small number of people, so fighting in groups will definitely not work. If we switch to business, I think it would be pretty good."

"Yes, Just sell food. Other teams have Jinsha cakes, stone grass cakes, and jade cans, so our team has Qingcao cakes, captain. "Qingcao is super obsessed with food, and he also remembers the food of other teams, and he also ordered it in advance. The name of your team's food.

Ye Qingkong agreed: "That's it. The name of our team's food is grass cake, but where does the grass come from? Captain, let's go find an oasis first. Where there is a desert, there must be an oasis. "

"Even if there is an oasis, it must be occupied by other teams now, and it is not clear whether the opponent is a friend or an enemy." Zhang Qiucheng is not very optimistic about this suggestion.

"Qiucheng, what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Qiucheng shook his head: "I don't know. I just think the oasis must be in danger."

Bai Yutang stood up: "Just go to the oasis. You can survive where there are people."

三

Living in the endless desert, you must have a goal, otherwise you will soon lose your life. Go crazy. Bai Yutang knew the truth. In fact, he didn't know the situation of the oasis, but they must have a direction and goal. They began to prepare to leave.

"Well, Boss Bai, Qingcao has a question." Qingcao came to Bai Yutang and asked in a low voice.

"Tell me."

"How do we divide the work? You are the captain and take care of everyone, me and the horses, so what do I take care of?"

"What do you want? Food?" Bai Yutang saw through Qingcao's purpose at a glance. He couldn't help it. The panda was staring at the bugs the whole time. It couldn't be more obvious.

"Then you are in charge of the food."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task. From now on, all the grass cakes will be under my control, right. I am the chief steward of the Green Grass Team." Qingcao immediately ran towards the small grass mats. These straw mats were a grass ring in his cat bag. Unexpectedly, they could still be used after being dismantled. Ye Qingkong rewoven them into mats.

Bai Yutang looked at Qingkong and they began to divide the work: "Qingkong, you and Qingcao's team are responsible for the outpost. Qiucheng, you and Miss Qingping ride the blue and white horse in the middle to be responsible for guarding. Xi Shuang and I are behind."

Ye Qingkong was dumbfounded when he heard this: "No way, boss. How can I be the outpost? You all have horses to ride on, and you want me to run and watch alone?"

Bai Yu Tang looked at Qingcao who was immersed in the delicious food: "This panda is very powerful. I have seen your combination. You stand on his shoulders. It is powerful and fast. Since Qingcao can talk and is a great housekeeper, There must be more to do."

Qingcao suddenly turned his head: "You are a cunning human being. I know there is no such thing as a good thing. I want three times the food. "

"No problem." Bai Yutang said cheerfully.

Ye Qingkong was not happy anymore: "I don't want to do it. Before, Qingcao and I only played occasionally and never really became partners. Now that the weather is so hot, Qingcao will definitely make me even hotter. I If you stand on top and act like a fool, your face will be sunburned. I won't do it."

Bai Yutang smiled: "I didn't expect that your relationship is quite good. In this way, you ride Xishuang and I walk. ."

Ye Qingkong glanced at Xi Shuang who was lying on the ground and shook his head: "Forget it, I think this horse has a bad temper, maybe he will throw me out. Let me follow Qingcao."

Qingcao slapped Ye Qingkong on the head: "Kongkong, you are too fat. Lose some weight and reduce it to half of your current weight. I will carry you again."

"Okay, let's set off quickly while the moonlight is a little cooler than during the day." Ye Qingping and Zhang Qiucheng had already mounted their green horses, and they were running eastward.

However, before Ye Qingkong could react, a bear in Qingcao slipped away and ran out, leaving her standing there dumbly wondering what to do? Bai Yutang, who was riding on Xi Shuang's back, shook his head, picked up Ye Qingkong, and put her in front of him. The two of them rode Xi Shuang together, and the group headed east.

Bai Yutang and the others rushed all night, and finally saw the shadow of an oasis before dawn. The oasis looks light green from a distance, with a rainbow connecting the sky and the sky, which is really beautiful.

The oasis is surrounded by a yellow sand-colored city wall. The city wall takes the shape of the Great Wall. There are watchtowers at regular intervals, with people patrolling them.

"My grass cake." Qingcao finally saw the long-lost green and sped up and rushed forward.

"Qingcao, come back." Ye Qingkong saw that the guards outside the oasis had started shooting arrows at Qingcao.

It's a pity that Qingcao, who is bent on eating grass, can't hear it at all. Of course, it is also very agile and can avoid those arrows every time. No, an arrow that hit the forehead was caught by Qingcao with its claws. Lived. With a "click", the arrow was broken by it. Then, an incredible scene occurred. The gatekeepers ran over in a swarm and snatched the arrows that fell on the ground.
