So she could only make a simple guess on her own. Maybe He Lianyun was hinting to her that she should follow the direction of the North Star to get out.
Seeing He Lianyun in this state, Han Yue felt even more guilty towards him. She couldn't help but secretly swear in her heart, "Don't worry, He Lianyun. I will definitely take you out!"
Han Yue walked step by step in the direction of the North Star. The temperature in the desert at night was quite low. With the tattered clothes on her body, she couldn't resist the cold at all. Although she hadn't been hurt in the previous sandstorm, her internal energy hadn't recovered much either. Now she was just an ordinary person with a bit more strength. It was really strenuous for her to carry He Lianyun on her back.
The time in the desert was a bit strange. Half of it was day, and the other half was night. So Han Yue had to find an exit within six hours, or the two of them might encounter another sandstorm.
As time ticked by, the night became even darker, making the starry sky even more dazzling.
The boundless scenery almost drove Han Yue crazy. After walking for so long, there were still nothing but sand and stones around. She had no idea when this would end.
Even the always cold - tempered Han Yue couldn't help but curse, "What a damned place! Why does it look the same no matter how I walk?"
At this moment, a faint voice came from behind Han Yue, "How can a young lady swear?"
Han Yue was startled and shouted loudly, "He Lianyun, are you awake?"
"Yes. I just woke up and heard you swearing," He Lianyun said weakly. Even though he was so weak, he still found time to tease Han Yue.
"Since you're awake, walk by yourself. I don't know what you eat every day. Why are you so heavy!" Han Yue was so angry that she directly threw He Lianyun off her back.
After getting rid of the burden on her back, Han Yue felt a great sense of relief.
But He Lianyun groaned in pain as he lay on the ground, covering his wound. His eyebrows were knitted tightly because of the pain. He gasped and said, "No, my little ancestor. It really hurts! Is this how you treat me just after I wake up?"
Han Yue's face froze. By the bright moonlight, she looked at He Lianyun's face. His handsome face was bloodless, pale and scary. There were also some scabs on his face from the scratches caused by the sand. His lips were also pale, covered with dead skin due to long - term lack of water.
Looking at He Lianyun's miserable state, Han Yue felt a bit reluctant. She guessed that He Lianyun really couldn't walk on his own. So she sighed, lifted He Lianyun's arm again, and prepared to carry him on her back and continue on their way.
But He Lianyun wasn't willing to be like this. He started to cough and said hoarsely, "I... I want to drink water."
Han Yue clenched her fists and let out a long sigh. It seemed that she wanted to lose her temper but held it back. Helplessly, she put He Lianyun back on the ground, unscrewed the only water bottle that still had some water in it, and fed He Lianyun some water.
After his lips were moistened by the water, they felt much better, and the two continued on their way.
Although He Lianyun still looked half - dead, he could still talk to Han Yue occasionally. In this deserted desert, it gave a bit of comfort and made them feel less lonely. At least there was someone to accompany them.
Vaguely, Han Yue felt that she saw a place with water and trees. Such a place in the desert was like a fairyland on earth.
"He Lianyun, I seem to see a lake," Han Yue said hoarsely. Due to the long - time walking without drinking water, she felt that she was about to die of dehydration.
Since there was a wounded person on her back, Han Yue tried to save all the little water resources she had left for He Lianyun.
"You said it might be an oasis in the desert? With your luck, you can still see an oasis in the desert? I guess you're seeing a mirage," He Lianyun weakly retorted.
This was the first time Han Yue had heard of an oasis in the desert and a mirage from someone else.
Looking at the hope in the distance, Han Yue sighed and continued to follow the direction of the North Star. She had to put aside the thought of the oasis in the desert.
A cold wind blew, and He Lianyun suddenly shivered. His originally drowsy head became a bit clearer. As if he remembered something, he anxiously patted Han Yue's shoulder and said urgently, "No, we should go back to that place just now. I suddenly thought that in the desert, it's impossible to see a mirage at night. For thousands of years, mirages can only be seen during the day. So the oasis just now might really exist!"
Han Yue was confused by He Lianyun's sudden words, but she still keenly caught the key words.
The lake and the trees just now were real!
With hope rekindled, Han Yue abandoned the direction of the North Star and chose to walk towards the oasis in the desert. Maybe because she had a goal and a direction, Han Yue felt that her steps became lighter, and He Lianyun didn't seem so heavy anymore.
As they got closer step by step, they really saw the real scene of the oasis in the desert.
The huge lake allowed them to take a good bath and fill their water bottles. They no longer had to be helpless because of the shortage of water resources.
When they really entered the oasis in the desert, they felt its grandeur and vastness.
"I didn't expect it to be real," He Lianyun said, looking at everything here in disbelief.
Han Yue carried He Lianyun to the side of the lake and put him down. She scooped up some water with her hands and drank it. Her throat was immediately moistened by the clear water and felt much more comfortable.
"What do you mean by'real'?" Han Yue casually asked.
Looking at the vast world here, He Lianyun felt a sense of grandeur. He explained to Han Yue, "It is said that this oasis in the desert has always been hidden deep in the desert. People can only see its illusory figure but can't find its real existence. But I didn't expect that we would find it today. It is said that there is a huge treasure buried here, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Han Yue didn't care about these treasures at all. They were just floating clouds to her. So she filled the water bottle with water, came to He Lianyun's side, and calmly said, "Let me clean your wound first. Don't let it get infected."
