Chapter 1159: 982 Chapters, Camping in the Gobi Desert
Wuhu Village.
Upon hearing from the Hidden Guard that Daozi had been rescued, Xiao Yeyang no longer hesitated, directly ordering all soldiers to storm into the village.
By daylight, everyone in the village had been subdued.
The chief and deputy leaders, who were responsible, were all tied up and kneeling on the ground, while the other elderly, weak, women, and children were detained in a courtyard.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t feel like dealing with these people for the time being, as he had already found out that the person who had rescued Daozi was Daohua. He breathed a sigh of relief, yet his heart remained apprehensive.
"How is it, did you find Yiyi and Daozi?"
Chu Lang shook his head and briefly explained the situation: "We were fighting with the sand thieves when Miss Yan rode off on a camel with Daozi. I thought the camel wouldn’t run very fast, so I didn’t chase immediately, but by the time we dealt with the sand thieves, Miss Yan and the others had already disappeared."
"Don’t worry too much, the Hidden Guard and Guard Squad are both out searching, we should hear news soon. Besides, Miss Yan has always been astute, she and Daozi will be okay."
Xiao Yeyang was hardly comforted, with his wife and son missing, he felt he had failed as both a husband and a father.
At that moment, Su Hongxin came over: "Everyone in the village has been accounted for, other than those who resisted and were killed, no one is missing, all are here."
Thinking of his wife and son, whose safety was unknown, Xiao Yeyang felt a surge of anger burning inside, his expression icy as he stared at the kneeling chief.
If it weren’t for these people, Yiyi and Daozi would be safe and sound at the Prince Residence.
The chief sensed Xiao Yeyang’s intent to kill and tensed up. His own life didn’t matter much, but his wife, children, and elderly mother could not die. Thinking it over, he decisively spoke up: "Prince of Weiyuan, I think I might know where your wife and son are."
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes narrowed, his look sharp as he regarded the chief.
The chief felt the oppressive aura emanating from Xiao Yeyang and inwardly sighed, realizing that he was facing the Prince of Weiyuan who had driven out the people of Xiliao. Even though young, he was not someone their lowly bandits could afford to provoke.
"They might have run into the Gobi Desert, which is vast and boundless. Once people enter, it’s very easy to lose their way. As long as you release Wuhu Village, I am willing to lead you there to find them."
Xiao Yeyang coldly stared at the chief: "What makes you so confident that you even have the right to negotiate with me? Do you believe I can take your life right now?"
Hearing this, the soldiers beside him immediately drew their swords and placed them against the chief’s neck.
Zhang Xiaohu, hiding in the crowd, seeing this scene, couldn’t care less about fear and rushed forward, blocking in front of the chief: "You can’t kill my father. Daozi promised me that as long as I let him go, you wouldn’t kill the people in the village, you can’t break your promise."
Xiao Yeyang frowned, Chu Lang came over and whispered to him, "It was this kid who took Daozi to the back door. Miss Yan could rescue Daozi because this kid really did help out."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Zhang Xiaohu: "But now, Daozi is gone."
Zhang Xiaohu silently turned and looked towards the chief, "Dad, doesn’t Grandpa Li know the Gobi Desert very well? Please have him lead the soldiers to find Daozi."
The chief was relieved that his son had rushed out fearlessly to save him, but he felt helpless that his son had directly revealed his bargaining chip.
Old Man Li, hearing Zhang Xiaohu’s words, stood up with the help of his walking stick, "I can lead you into the Gobi Desert to look for people, but..."
Xiao Yeyang interrupted him: "There are no ’buts’. Until we find Daozi, you have no right to set terms. There are others who know the Gobi Desert, not just you."
Old Man Li sighed and said no more.
...
Meanwhile, in the Gobi Desert where there were no landmarks and it was difficult to distinguish directions, Daohua was aimlessly riding a camel.
At this moment, she realized that she might be lost.
Looking at the increasingly large sun above and then at her son, uncomfortable in her arms, Daohua stopped wandering aimlessly and rode the camel back to a large rock they had just passed.
Daohua dismounted the camel, holding her son; the little guy might have been too tired, for even such a big movement only made him grunt twice before he continued sleeping.
Daohua carefully placed her son in the shadow under a huge rock, and then quickly took out a blanket from the space and spread it on the ground, placing her son on it.
Next, she set up a simple tent, and took out a water skin and some food.
These emergency supplies, Daohua always prepared whenever she left the house, just in case something unexpected happened.
After completing these tasks, the sun had already risen straight above, heating the ground of the Gobi desert. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Daohua took some grass from the space to feed the camel, gave Dog Xiaoyi a piece of braised meat and a bowl of water, and then crawled into the tent that could only fit two people.
For the past two days, Daohua had hardly closed her eyes. Seeing her son still sleeping, she also lay down beside him and took a short nap.
Daozi was awakened by the heat. Upon waking, he saw his mother sleeping beside him, which immediately comforted him. He silently sat up and looked around the tent they were staying in.
Seeing apples in the bag next to him, and feeling hungry and thirsty, Daozi grabbed one and started munching on it, making sure to keep his voice low so as not to disturb Daohua.
Daohua was still woken up. Although they had a hunting dog on guard, she dared not truly fall into a deep sleep, so she opened her eyes at any noise.
Seeing her son sitting obediently beside her eating an apple, Daohua’s expression immediately softened.
Daozi: "Mom, you’re awake?"
Daohua rubbed her son’s head. Seeing his eyes bright and him smiling happily just like before, carefree as always, she knew that the kidnapping hadn’t scared him, which relieved her greatly.
"Did the sand thieves hurt you or threaten you when they took you to the village?"
Previously, she had only been focused on escaping and hadn’t had the chance to ask about her son’s capture by Wuhu Village.
Daozi shook his head and told Daohua everything that happened in Wuhu Village.
Knowing her son wasn’t mistreated, Daohua felt relieved.
Daozi: "Mom, where are we now? It’s so hot!"
Daohua took out a handkerchief and wiped her son’s sweat: "Mom doesn’t know where we are right now."
Daozi’s eyes widened in surprise: "Ah? What are we going to do?"
Daohua smiled: "Dad will definitely come to find us, we just need to wait patiently."
Daozi nodded, not worried, knowing that as long as his mother was with him, he would be fine, and he continued happily nibbling on his apple.
Daohua poured him a cup of milk tea and took out some pastries, placing them in front of him. Seeing her son happily eating, she lifted the tent flap and walked out.
By this time, it was already mid-afternoon. The sun had begun to set, and the temperature on the Gobi desert had dropped a bit compared to noon.
Daohua looked at the desolate Gobi desert and felt a premonition that today, and perhaps the coming days, they would need to survive on this desert.
Thinking of the extreme temperature differences between day and night on the desert, Daohua returned to the tent and ate some food with Daozi, then took Daozi and Dog Xiaoyi to collect some firewood nearby.
"Mom, why are we collecting these branches?"
"Because we are going to sleep here tonight."
"Isn’t dad coming to find us?"
"Dad will come for us, but he needs time. Meanwhile, we need to survive on our own."
"Oh!"
"We used to live in a house, and today we sleep on the ground, it’s a different experience."
