"Quick! Surround the carriages in a circle and protect the eldest prince!" Wen Mo shouted loudly in Western Liao language.

Everyone took action and surrounded the carriage in a circle, forming a solid line of defense.

You must be kidding. If something happens to the eldest prince who is married off to a foreign country, they will be buried with him!

Hua Xin looked at the approaching sandstorm nervously, her heart filled with worry.

"Don't be afraid. If it really doesn't work, just hide in the space." Hua Moxuan held Hua Xin's hand tightly and comforted her.

"How can that be? Even if we have to hide, we should hide together. But even if we hide, it's useless. The time inside is different from the time outside. Even if we hide in there for ten days or half a month, when we come out, it's still the current time."

Hua Xin now looks forward to the two times being unified.

However, despite the anticipation, the most important thing right now is to face this sudden sandstorm.

The people of Western Liao actually had their own way to deal with sandstorms, but this time they were escorting a bride, and there were many people and heavy items, which became a problem for a while.

Many people hid under the camels, while others sought shelter nearby.

At first everyone was still guarding the carriage, but as the sandstorm approached, some people began to waver.

The sandstorm was like a roaring beast, sweeping up the yellow sand all over the sky and shrouding the entire team in a dim yellow.

Hua Xin and Hua Moxuan were talking in the carriage, when suddenly, they felt the whole carriage seemed to have lost control, began to shake violently and flew into the air.

"Xinxin, hold on tight!" Hua Moxuan realized that something was wrong and quickly untied the belt around his waist and tried to wrap it around Hua Xin's hands, but before he could tie a knot, the entire carriage flipped over.

Hua Xin only felt dizzy and her head hit the inner wall of the carriage hard.

Before she lost consciousness, she couldn't help cursing, "Who would make a carriage out of iron?"

Time seemed to stand still. Hua Xin didn't know how much time had passed before she finally opened her eyes with difficulty.

She saw a figure sitting in front of her, but judging from the other person's attire, it was obviously not Hua Moxuan.

"Hiss..." Hua Xin gently touched the injured part and indeed felt a bulge.

However, when she tried to move her body, she was shocked to find that something seemed wrong with one of her feet.

Just then, a voice came: "Miss, you finally woke up."

Hua Xin then realized that the person in front of her was Wen Mo.

Wen Mo looked in very bad condition at this time. His whole body was covered with sand and dust, and his face seemed to be cut by something, with blood oozing out.

"Your face is bleeding, doesn't it hurt?" Hua Xin pointed at Wen Mo's face.

Wen Mo was about to say that it didn't hurt, but then he heard Hua Xin say, "You must protect your face. Just looking at it makes people feel happy!"

The words that were on the tip of his tongue were instantly swallowed back into his stomach.

So he immediately said, "I will go and apply medicine, but Miss, your leg seems to be injured as well. Since you have been unconscious, I dare not move you easily."

Hearing this, Hua Xin quickly sat up and carefully checked her feet, then said thankfully: "Fortunately it's not a fracture, just a sprain. However, I'm afraid it won't be fully recovered in a short period of time, so it still needs to be properly treated. You should also go and treat the wound on your face!"

Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief. If it was a broken bone, no matter how skilled she was in medicine, she couldn't repair it instantly. She would even have to hide in a space villa to save time.

It would be fine if someone was with her, but it seems impossible to let her hide in a space alone to recuperate now!

Hua Xin began to look around and found herself leaning against a metal box.

Apart from that, there was yellow sand all around, it was a desolate place with nothing.

There was red silk tied on the iron box, which must be Hua Moxuan's dowry.

She couldn't help but say, "Wenmo, let's open this box and see what's inside?"

Wen Mo, who had just applied ointment on his face, was stunned when he heard this. "Miss, do you really want to open it? This is the master's...dowry!" he said hesitantly.

But then I thought, she is a young lady after all, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

So he walked to the box and began to untie the red silk.

"There's no village or shop in the middle of nowhere. We don't know where we've been dragged to. Now we only have this box. Wouldn't it be a waste if we don't open it? Are you planning to carry it with you through the desert?"

As Hua Xin spoke, she watched Wen Mo untie the red silk, her heart full of anticipation.

However, when they saw what was in the box, disappointment showed on their faces.

It turned out that the box was filled with various ornaments, but most of them were damaged due to bumps and collisions.

"Come on, now we can really give up, it's useless."

Hua Xin sighed helplessly. She had originally held a glimmer of hope for this box, thinking there would be something useful inside, but the reality made her very disappointed.

Wen Mo couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, I thought it was money or clothes or something like that, but it turned out to be all these useless things."

He looked at the pile of broken ornaments and felt increasingly heavy-hearted.

It’s okay for me to have some difficulties, but what should the eldest lady do?

Faced with such a situation, Hua Xin couldn't help but sigh at the power of nature and the fragility and insignificance of human beings in it.

Hua Xin glanced at the box and tried to search to see if there was anything intact, but was blocked by Wen Mo.

"Miss, let me do it." Wen Mo saw Hua Xin's intention and looked through it carefully, only to find that no one was spared.

"Forget it, that's it! But do you know where we are now?"

Hua Xin looked up at the dim sky. It should still be some time before dark, but there was neither the sun, nor the stars or the moon in the sky. Moreover, she didn't even have a compass with her. If she wanted to rely on these to determine the direction, it would not work at all.

Wen Mo pointed in a direction and said to Hua Xin, "When the young lady was still asleep, I had already carefully identified this direction. This direction leads to Bhutan City, and we are not far from Moon Bay. As long as we keep going in this direction, we should be able to get out of the desert."

"But..." Hua Xin asked in confusion, "Why can't we see anyone around us? Where did the others go?"

Hua Xin felt very strange. With so many people entering the desert together, it was impossible that they were the only two here.
