The water is rippling and the vegetation is lush.

The dunes of the desert in the distance have clear outlines and distinct layers.

The water is gurgling nearby, and the surrounding trees are tall and green, with tangled roots.

Yunran took off his clothes one by one, still holding a few pieces of dirty clothes in his hands.

There are her own and Li Changshou's.

Although I like to be clean, walking in the desert all day long will inevitably stain my clothes with sand and dust.

Especially Li Changshou's clothes were soaked countless times with sweat, exuding a strong smell.

Yunran put the dirty clothes aside and tied up her hair.

The sun shines through the poplar trees and shines on her feet.

Among the slowly floating shadows of the trees, it is smooth and white.

Yun Ran slowly reached in, but the water was actually not cold at all.

It's just that it's too hot in the desert, so the water is very cool.

"Huh~"

Yun Ran let out a long breath and stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes.

After a while, Yun Ran was only wearing a single piece of clothing.

Squatting by the water, washing clothes carefully.

She held a piece of soap in her hand.

Use washed pig pancreas and grind it into powder.

Then combine them with aromatic alkali to form a dough the size of glutinous rice balls.

The piece in her hand is sweet-scented osmanthus soap, which is very fragrant.

When I took a shower just now, I used this soap.

Li Changshou only bought two pieces, so he had to save some.

Looking at the various patches on Li Changshou's clothes, Yun Ran muttered.

"I don't know how to make myself new clothes..."

"Wow~"

A very unobtrusive arc was drawn on the water, and the water rippled in all directions.

Yun Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her head instinctively.

He seemed to realize something.

The next moment, the water splashed over like a heavy rain.

It was a huge water snake, covered in white scales.

The chin opens inward, like a blood basin.

The fangs are like hooks and densely packed, and there is a chamfer on the forehead.

It's like a startling rainbow in the water, sparkling.

Yun Ran fell into the water with a bang, causing a splash.

It bit her with a bloody mouth, its sharp fangs digging into her skin through her poor clothes.

Yun Ran groaned, and his whole body was swept up into the sky.

If an ordinary person was bitten like this, there would be no way to survive.

However, not a drop of blood was shed on Yun Ran's body.

He just turned a little paler and was unable to resist.

His body hit the ground heavily from the air, and Yun Ran's vision went dark.

“Buzz——!!”

A sharp knife sound suddenly sounded, and the long knife lit up with a silver light in mid-air.

There was a "ding" sound.

There was a crisp sound like the clash of swords, and the wrist went numb slightly.

A look of surprise flashed in Li Changshou's eyes and he let out a light sigh.

Then he twisted his body and changed his angle.

Holding the handle of the knife, staggered steps.

The horse stepped on the pile and moved five steps sideways.

"call!"

White airflow condensed at the tip of Li Changshou's nose.

With a twist of his wrist, he slashed out a knife from top to bottom.

There was a muffled sound of "poof".

This knife brought up blood flowers, accompanied by the shrill cry of the water snake.

Li Changshou reached out to catch Yunran.

Yun Ran gasped in pain, and his body kept shaking.

The water snake roared angrily, with a murderous look in its eyes as it stared straight ahead.

Curling up, like a stretched bow, ready to attack at any time, venom dripping from the tips of its teeth.

Li Changshou's long sword sank down, then suddenly raised it.

There was a sudden "whoosh" sound.

The huge snake head stretched and contracted, like an arrow from the string, and shot out with a whoosh.

"Da da da!!"

The footsteps left traces on the ground.

With the help of force, Li Changshou suddenly rose into the air.

"Boom boom!!"

The bones all over his body made a dull sound, like thunder.

The Five Thunders, Radius and Eight Methods are integrated into the sword.

The blade's light doubled in brightness, and it made a blood-curdling whistling sound.

By the twisting power of arms and waist.

With a bang, the snake head exploded in blood.

The snake's body twisted a few times in mid-air, then fell weakly into the pool.

The blood in his neck gushes out and turns red.

"...Are you okay?"

"Cough cough cough~"

Yun Ran couldn't stop coughing.

She regained her breath, and her face suddenly turned red.

At this time, Yun Ran was only wearing a bitten and tattered singlet. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was having a happy couple.

A pair of warm, white and tender legs were held by Li Changshou's big hands.

Yunran reached out and pulled off his clothes to cover his exposed chest.

"No...it's okay..."

Li Changshou wanted to put her down.

Just this action seemed to involve her wound.

"Cough cough cough!"

Then there was another burst of coughing.

Li Changshou froze and stopped moving.

The tip of my nose was filled with the fresh fragrance from just taking a shower, which seemed to be the smell of osmanthus.

"Huhu..."

Hot breath poured out from the tip of her nose.

After a while, she finally regained her breath.

Li Changshou took off his clothes and wrapped them around her body.

.........

In the vast twilight.

Yun Ran was barefoot and leaning on the carriage with a weak expression.

Li Changshou selected several herbs for his own medicated bath, mainly to replenish qi and blood.

Yunran drank the medicine in small sips, her mouth felt bitter.

It's like swallowing a yellow lotus alive.

Li Changshou broke open the two melons and placed them in her hands.

"...Where did it come from?"

"In the woods."

Yun Ran hurriedly took a big bite, and then he felt that the bitterness in his mouth had subsided a bit.

On the other side, everyone was singing and dancing around the bonfire.

After passing this oasis, there is still more than sixty miles to go before we can walk out of the desert.

Everyone was excited.

Yun Ran was fine. Although she was indeed bitten by the water snake, her skin was not even broken.

Li Changshou knew that Yun Ran was definitely an ordinary person, but he didn't want to ask more questions.

Yun Ran pursed her lips and sighed softly.

I always feel like a useless person.

Now I can't even do laundry.

Li Changshou carefully sliced ​​the melon with his handleless hidden sword.

"Didn't you give it a name?" Yunran asked.

"What?"

"Your sword."

"Why does the sword have a name?"

Yunran said, "Usually there is, and my sword also has a name."

Li Changshou handed the peeled melon to Yun Ran.

Yun Ran took it naturally and put it in his mouth.

"I'm too lazy." Li Changshou said, "The objects that kill people don't need names."

The two of them chatted intermittently, as if they were already used to this way of chatting.

Yunran felt relaxed looking at him, even now that he had lost his strength and status.

It seemed that even if the sky fell, this tiger-like young man would withstand it.

Two days later, the merchant gang left the oasis.

The remaining sixty miles were nothing to them.

Almost in one breath, he walked out.

First there was wasteland, and then some weeds could be seen on the road.

Further forward, there are acres of green space.

Everyone's eyes were bright, they were walking very fast, and they didn't feel tired at all.

Finally... finally out of the desert! !

The hardest part is over.
