Although Xiao Heyu had never been with Xiao Chi, they had met many times. In addition, Xiao Chi was his nephew, so even if he didn't understand him 100%, he still had at least 70% understanding of him.

In his opinion, Xiao Chi is no longer the Xiao Chi he knew. Now, he has completely lost himself for Song Yao, and he is no longer the same person he used to be.

However, even if Xiao Chi has become selfless, Xiao Heyu has no right to judge him because he is the same as him.

Xiao Heyu patted Xiao Chi's hand and said, "Beishu, it's a blessing from our ancestors that our Xiao family can produce a romantic man."

Xiao Chi smiled helplessly, "What kind of blessing is this?"

"Most men in our Xiao family are heartless and ungrateful, but you are the only one who has a special affection for one person." Xiao Heyu said, "If you really have a chance with her in the future, please don't let me down."

"Yeah." Xiao Chi nodded lightly, "I understand."

"You have a good rest, I'm leaving first."

Xiao Heyu sat here all night and now he felt very tired.

Xiao Chi didn't keep him and let him go.

When Xiao Heyu left Xiao Chi's house and returned to his own yard, he saw Qi Mo in the yard.

Xiao Heyu walked up to Qi Mo and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Mo pursed his lips, his dark eyes staring directly at Xiao Heyu, "Will you go to Fengzhou with them?"

Qi Mo had met Song Zizhou and Song Yao before. They told him about inviting Xiao Heyu to Fengzhou, and also sincerely invited him, hoping that he would go with them. He did not give a reply at that time.

So, he came to find Xiao Heyu.

"I'm worried about the people here," Xiao Heyu said, "I hope you go."

Qi Mo folded his arms, his face a bit annoyed. "If you're not going, what should I do? Leave you here alone to die? Besides, your condition has stabilized. I don't understand why you want me to help them. Do you know the consequences of me leaving?"

"Xiao Chi is my nephew. The two children are too young. These are troubled times. If there is no one with excellent medical skills to accompany them, I will be worried."

"So what you're saying is that you'd rather die than let them reach Fengzhou safely?"

"I should have died a long time ago, but you kept me alive until now."

"Anyway, I still say the same thing. If you don't go, then I won't go."

"Qi Mo..."

Before Xiao Heyu could finish his words, Qi Mo turned around and left.

Xiao Heyu looked at his back and sighed helplessly.

He knew Qi Mo. Unless he agreed to go this time, he would definitely not go with Xiao Chi and the others.

Xiao Heyu pinched his eyebrows and turned to go into the house.

He lay in bed, thinking a lot.

……

Originally, Song Yao and the others planned to leave the next day, but something like that happened. They had no choice but to wait here for Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi lay in bed for four days. When his wound no longer hurt and was no longer life-threatening, Song Yao and the others planned to set off for Mingzhou County early the next morning.

You can only go to Longwan Desert after passing Mingzhou County.

Before that, Song Yao and his team must prepare sufficient supplies in Mingzhou County.

But Song Yao was a little worried. Mingzhou County was just a small county. Did it have the supplies she needed?

If not, then if they cross the Longwan Desert, the danger will be magnified tenfold.

It would be great if Qi Mo would go with them, but unfortunately, he won’t go unless Xiao Heyu goes.

Without Qi Mo, they will have no choice but to endure it.

Time passed quickly and it was the next day. Song Yao and the others packed up and set off for Mingzhou County.

In the first carriage, Song He said worriedly, "Sister, we don't have a doctor with us right now, and the Longwan Desert is so dangerous. What are we going to do then?"

Song Yao sighed and said, "If he doesn't follow us, there's nothing I can do. Anyway, everyone should just be careful. There's nothing else we can do."

"Oh." E Yu also sighed, "It would be great if he came with us. Now that we have a doctor, we don't have to be so nervous and afraid about everything."

"There's nothing we can do if he doesn't come with us." Song Yao also desperately hoped that Qi Mo would come, but if he didn't come, they couldn't force him.

Song Yuanbai said, "This is also the fault of Dongdong and the others. If they hadn't run into the woods without permission that night, the old man wouldn't have gone looking for them. If he hadn't gone, naturally nothing would have happened. If he were still alive, we wouldn't have to worry. It's a pity..."

"Yes." Song Yao said, "If he is not dead, then we don't have to worry so much now."

Now that the person is dead, it’s no use for them to say more.

However, they will always remember everything that Old Man Xu did for them and will never forget it.

They walked on the road for three days and finally arrived in Mingzhou County.

Mingzhou County is only about ten miles away from the Longwan Desert. Because it is not far away, it once experienced a sandstorm. Since then, some people here have moved away.

There are less than 500 people left now.

Song Yao originally planned to buy some supplies here and then go to Longwan Desert. However, the people here didn’t even have food to eat, so where could they set up stalls to sell things?

That’s right, Song Yao and the others can’t buy any supplies here at the moment.

This can't help but make everyone very anxious.

Song Zizhou said, "There's nothing we can do if we can't buy it. Let's go."

Song Yao glanced at Song Zizhou and nodded, "Yeah."

It was still early, and they could walk a little further.

And so, the large army continued its march.

Their destination this time is Longwan Desert.

However, because they were unable to purchase supplies, everyone was depressed and kept silent.

When it got dark, Song Yao and his friends arrived at the Longwan Desert.

It was not yet dark, and after everyone got off the carriage, they saw the endless desert in front of them.

At this time, the desert was very quiet, so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy.

Song He stood there holding Xiao Suisui. She looked at the desert in front of her, then turned to look at Song Yao. "Sister, don't we need camels to go to the desert? We only have horses. Besides, we have a carriage. Can a carriage travel in the desert?"

Song Yao said, "Horse-drawn carriages can also travel in the desert, but the speed is a bit slow and the wheels can easily sink into the sand, so it will be a bit troublesome."

Everyone couldn't help feeling scared at the thought of entering the desert ahead.

Hearing the discussions around them, Song Yao turned her head and looked at Shen Xianyi and the others, "Don't worry too much. Since the emperor has turned Fengzhou into a place of exile, and this is the only place we can go to Fengzhou, it proves that we have a chance to get out of the desert alive. Plus, it's not summer now, so the probability of sandstorms and other dangers is also very low, so you don't have to worry too much."

After hearing what Song Yao said, everyone felt relieved.
