Chapter 383 Survival

"You mean, you are the tiger I attracted with stones on the injured street in Wusong?" Although Shishou could occasionally hear the sound of a tiger roaring in the stone, he never thought that one day the tiger's soul would talk to him.

"Yes, you brought me to this stone, why don't you know me?" Crescent's voice was still angry.

"So... you turned out to be on Wu Song?" Shishou thought about Zhang Shu's rescue action after Wu Song was injured at that time, and gradually smoothed everything.

"Yes." The crescent replied. Shishou heard that she was a little speechless.

"A few days ago, when I fainted in the desert, you took me to a place with water?" Shishou asked.

"Who else do you think can save you? Not only that, but it's also because of me that you can start to smell the smell of water. People's sense of smell can't be so sensitive. The crescent replied.

"Do you choose me as the new owner? Just like accompanying Wu Song in the past?" Stone Hand was a little excited. If this is the case, he has a second weapon other than his right hand, which is enough to make him a real hero and hero.

"No, I'm still on this stone, and I will help you temporarily when I think it's necessary. I miss Wu Song very much and won't give in to others. Fortunately, the blood of hatred on this stone is enough for me to support for a long time, and there will be no problem. Otherwise, in order to maintain this 'living' state, I will encroach on you. In that case, you will really not be able to get out of this desert. The voice of the crescent moon changed from anger to laziness.

Shishou suddenly realized. This is Zhang Shu's arrangement again.

Going to the original Pan Jinlian's house in Qinghe County to find the bloody stone under the dry well was done by Haisha. This arrangement was very mysterious. At that time, Haisha said that the matter was of great importance, which was related to Wu Song's life. Taking this stone to the desert should also mean sea sand. However, Zhang Shu cleverly added a layer of private goods here. He asked the stone hand to re-call the crescent moon that had been scattered with the stone. In this way, the crescent moon consumed the power of the stone all the way, and the power on the stone was originally sea sand. What is needed?

Zhang Shu said that Haisha is a vicious woman, but she has no strength. No matter how vicious she is, she can only be said to be a paper talk. Zhang Shu's move should be regarded as a draw from the bottom of the pot. However, at this time, Shishou has another suspicion. According to what Zhang Shu did, he killed so many innocent people. Isn't he vicious? People who are accused by a vicious person may be good people...

Shishou felt that he was really stupid and unconsciously became the pawn of others. The most important thing is that he has always done what justice requires in his heart.

"I ask you, crescent, if I bring you to Wu Song, can you help him recover?" Shishou asked.

"It can help. In fact, he was seriously injured that night, and it was I who woke him up, but at that time, I was as seriously injured as him and couldn't do more, but now I have basically recovered." The crescent moon's tone is rarely serious.

"Okay, let's move on." Shishou stood up.

"You're not dead?" The crescent asked.

Shishou hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't die. If you lie like this, you won't die in the end. Even if I don't do it, you will help me struggle to eat. Choosing the desert means choosing a cruel fate. Since someone can easily erase the lives of those innocent people, even if I die, he will do the same. This is probably the joy of having this power. Although I think so and have some self-deception, it is always good for me to survive firmly and help Wu Song. Shishou could not completely convince himself, but in a vague way, he thought that there was nothing wrong with going on like this, but it didn't matter what he said.

"Then shall we go now?" The crescent sounded with yawning.

"No, I have to make it convenient first." Shishou's stomach is getting more and more painful, and he must solve it.

For the next period of time, Shishou never encountered a hard land that was not a desert, nor did he see a small village like before. The crescent has played a great role in helping the stone hand survive. Her sense of smell can even find the groundwater veins in the desert, although she has to dig dozens of feet down to see the water. At first, Shishou was at a loss about this, because there was no shovel pick, but when he saw his right hand, he suddenly found that for him, his right hand was enough to complete such a thing. Although it was a little hard, the water could be replenished almost anytime and anywhere.

In terms of food, it is relatively scarce. There are no plants in the desert to satisfy her hunger, but with the instinct of her beast, Crescent still found its prey in the seemingly grassless desert. The gerbils hidden in the sand dunes, snakes that eat gerbils for a living, and the big scorpion that can be sold at a good price in the Central Plains. Stone hand can't accept raw food. The smell of blood and fur makes him disgusting, but there are indeed no conditions to cook in the desert, so whenever he wants to eat these things, he tries his best to think about something else and let the crescent moon to complete the meal with great interest.

This does not completely satisfy the stone hand. Eating is not just a physiological need, but also psychologically. He divides the only dry food into small pieces as possible. Every time his desire for food reaches a peak, he eats a small piece. At this time, he doesn't drink water. He wants to lengthen the process as much as possible and deceive himself, just like eating a lot of things.

With such a method and the occasional camel team to meet to supply food, the stone hands are marching in the desert more and more like fish in water. Then he found that the road sign of the skeleton was also less, and it did not appear every time he rested, but a mixture of men, women and children. After meeting a merchant who lacked a hand, Shishou carefully observed the next road sign, and there was no skeleton of the merchant.

It seems that the source of road signs will only be people on the hard ground, and the people on the sand will not be swept away. This discovery made Shishou feel relieved, and he can constantly persuade himself to continue this journey.

Daily monotonous and repeated travel, without the company of the crescent, Shishou himself will feel crazy. When there is enough food, the stone hand will also let the crescent devour something from his body. He is afraid of the anger in the stone and is not enough for the crescent to support the complete journey. The use of crescent moon is also very cautious, and she won't even make Shishou feel tired.

Time unconsciously got up, and Shishou looked at the roundness of the moon twice. Think about it, it should be the beginning of March, and the desert is gradually getting hot. He has not seen the caravan in the past for about half a month, and the last time the dead bone road appeared was also three days ago.

For good, as a beast, the crescent has an amazing sense of direction and no mistakes, which also makes the stone hand's journey much easier. Even so, Shishou also began to worry about the direction, because he felt that the desert was changing. Dunes are getting fewer and fewer, and sandstorms are becoming more and more frequent. It should be said that the desert is showing its pure side to the stone hands, which is becoming more and more pure over time.

Finally, at noon that day, Shishou stopped, and his instinct told him that he could no longer move forward, because there was a clear dividing line in front of him. On one side where the stone hand stands, the sand is yellow, while on the other side, the sand is black.

No one has ever told the stone hand that black symbolizes auspiciousness. The stone hand standing here clearly feels the meaning of death.

"You can't move forward!" Crescent's judgment was consistent with that of Shishou, and she said firmly.

"I know." Shishou answered the crescent moon. But we can't retreat either. The direction of the previous road sign is here, which you know better than me. We may have no other choice until we find new road signs. Unless you want to wander in the desert all your life, as far as I know, there are no tigers in the desert. Even if you have the original body, you will slowly die here. Shishou did not hide the facts they are facing.

"Then look for new road signs." The crescent answer is simple and straightforward.

"It's easy to say, as you know, it's always been a road signpost to find us. Everywhere in this desert looks similar, especially here, there are no big sand dunes at all. What it has is just useless things that are temporarily blown by the wind, and it won't take a bunch of incense to disappear. Where do you think I can find it? Shishou asked. He also knew that Crescent had been suffering with him all the way and should not talk to her in such a tone, but he really didn't know who to express the decayed feelings in his heart.

"But if you don't look for it, you can only go in and die. I can continue to sleep in the way of soul and wait for the next call, but you can't. Do you believe in that sign and want to die? Shishou, I remember that two months ago, you were determined to die, and then you said a lot of words that I didn't understand and decided to survive. We both know the hardships of this journey. Did you go so far just to die here? The crescent almost roared and said this.

The stone hand did not answer, but squatted down and began to dig on the ground with his hand. He carefully sensed the unevenness of the ground with his left hand and dug with his right hand. Shishou carefully searched along the dividing line of black and yellow sand and on the side of the yellow sand.
