The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 696 Unlucky Goro

When they first parted ways, Wang Wulang didn't think it was a test for him. In fact, when they encountered several post stations in succession, he thought that the King of Xiaoyao was taking care of him and had specially given him the easiest path.

The area is rich in resources, has a simple and honest folk culture, and has convenient roads.

It wasn't until he saw a desert and had walked for a day and a night without seeing a single person that he realized something was wrong.

After his naive period passed, Wang Wulang gradually realized that he had been tricked, and tricked thoroughly.

He wasn't even sure he was on the right track, especially given that maps were completely unreliable.

After traveling through the desert for countless days, Wang Wulang took out his last piece of dry bread, cut off a piece of cactus that he had finally encountered, skillfully removed the thorns, peeled it simply with a dagger, and then began to eat it.

In the desert, this is one of the most common plants. While other plants have little moisture, this one is quite hydrated and comes in various shapes and sizes.

Some are crisp and refreshing, some are slippery, some are sweet, and some have an indescribable bitterness.

Of course, some of them are poisonous. Wang Wulang was poisoned several times. If it weren't for the life-saving water left to him by Ayu, he might have already gone to see the King of Hell.

Wang Wulang didn't touch the last water bag. It contained the water that Ayu had left for him, something he was to use after he went to Jiangsai.

Even though he had been without water for three days, his mouth was cracked from thirst, and his stomach was burning, Wang Wulang did not even consider drinking it.

He had promised Ayu he would deliver it to Jiangsai and pour it into the river; he would never drink it beforehand.

As the older brother, I should always keep this promise.

After eating the cactus, Wang Wulang didn't eat any more dry biscuits; he just stuck out his tongue and licked them, just to satisfy his craving.

If Ayu were here, seeing her playful and gluttonous fifth brother now craving a tasteless dry biscuit, she would probably be heartbroken.

After eating the cactus, Wang Wulang fed another piece to the inexplicably arrogant horse, forcibly stuffing it into its mouth regardless of the horse's resistance.

"Brother Horse, although you won't let me ride you anymore, we've at least kept each other company. Don't worry, for the sake of keeping me company, I won't just kill you and eat you. But if you collapse from starvation, I, Wang Wulang, am no bodhisattva; I'll definitely dismember you and eat you. Don't blame me for being ruthless then." Wang Wulang muttered to himself as he patted the horse's noticeably deflated belly.

Whether the horse understood or not, it was still somewhat disgusted, but it still ate the cactus from Wang Wulang's hand.

It was only about the size of a palm, not much to satisfy hunger.

Fortunately, the horse occasionally came across some extremely dry grass along the way, which it ate without hesitation.

And so, the man and his horse endured another five days.

That day, Wang Wulang was taking a nap under the horse's belly. The horse was snorting idly when suddenly it stamped its foot impatiently.

Just as the horse was about to step on Wang Wulang, Wang Wulang suddenly flipped over and crawled out from under the horse's belly.

When the horse saw him come out, it immediately lowered its neck, gesturing for Wang Wulang to sit on it.

"Brother Ma, what do you mean by this?" Wang Wulang was flattered.

Good heavens, they actually let him ride the horse.

He was so moved that he almost burst into tears on the spot!

Just then, an arrow suddenly shot through the air. Wang Wulang yelled "Damn it!" and instantly jumped onto his horse, shouting, "It's bandits! Brother Ma, run!"

Without waiting for his command, the horse reared up and ran off in one direction.

Wang Wulang's vision went black: "Brother Ma, we've gone the wrong way, that's not the way we're going!"
