"Where have you been these days!"
As soon as Dong Luoke came back, she was directly escorted to the master.
The white - robed man asked coldly. Just this simple sentence made the men escorting Dong Luoke tremble uncontrollably.
Dong Luoke shrugged off the two men holding her in disgust and presented the bag she had modified. "Master, I went to prepare a gift for you."
The white - robed man said, "A gift?"
The white - robed man was originally nonchalant and didn't plan to look at the gift at all. He had intended to teach Dong Luoke a lesson to let her know her place. How dare she leave without saying a word? Did she think he really valued her?
She was just a tool for him to recall someone by looking at things.
But when he looked at Dong Luoke, his peripheral vision accidentally caught a glimpse of the bag. With just this one glance, he couldn't look away.
"This... this is...!"
Since Dong Luoke had served beside him for seven or eight years, she clearly felt that the master liked this bag. At that moment, Dong Luoke was extremely proud and ignored the master's hand tightly clenched in his long - sleeved robe. It seemed as if he was desperately holding back a force that might go out of control at any moment.
"Where did you get it?"
Dong Luoke was stunned. The master would even ask about the origin of the bag. Did he suspect that she didn't make it?
No, no. If the master knew it wasn't hers, what was the meaning of all she had done? The master had suddenly taken notice of the useless woman Su Yanke for some unknown reason. If he found out that the bag was made by that woman, his attention would be diverted. Although that woman was already dead, Dong Luoke still couldn't stand the master's special attention to her.
"Replying to the master, I made this with my own hands. If there's anything the master doesn't like, I can remake it."
"You made it?"
"Yes, yes. Is there something wrong with this bag, master?"
"Heh! This bag is quite nice, but it has this extra thing."
The white - robed man's hand rubbed against the daffodil pattern on the bag again and again and said disdainfully, "It's really redundant."
Dong Luoke's face froze. She had added this daffodil pattern on purpose.
"Go to the steward's office to receive your punishment." The white - robed man left these words and then turned away.
"Master, master! No, no, master. I did this all for you!! Master! Mmm!!" The men who had escorted Dong Luoke quickly picked her up and walked out. Seeing that Dong Luoke was shouting too loudly and afraid of arousing the master's dissatisfaction, they quickly stuffed a cloth into Dong Luoke's mouth.
Dong Luoke stared angrily at the two men holding her, and a malicious look flashed in her eyes.
——In the desert——
A group of people were slowly walking in the desert. The footprints they left were quickly buried by the wind, leaving no trace at all. It was as if they had entered a huge maze and could never get out of this desert.
Chen Maohua said, "I said, is your guide really reliable? We've been walking for so long. Why does it still look the same around here?"
There were white flakes on Chen Maohua's lips, a sign of severe dehydration. After they were blown by the tornado created by the flock of eagles, when they came out, they found that their supplies, camels, and most importantly, the water were all gone.
Su Yanke was also very helpless. Among the paper talismans she had prepared before, there were water talismans. She only needed to activate a little spiritual energy to get water, but those talismans were all in her small bag, which was now gone.
Just then, the guide who was walking in the front suddenly disappeared. Su Yanke heard Justin's scream.
"Brother!"
Su Yanke ran over and saw a figure rolling down from the sand dune. It was the guide.
Without thinking much, Su Yanke mobilized her spiritual energy and chased after him. She grabbed the guide who was still rolling down.
"Fu Huayan, wake up. Don't sleep. Wake up..." Su Yanke kept shaking the guide's body, trying to wake him up.
But Fu Huayan was in a daze due to severe dehydration. Su Yanke saw that he opened his eyes slightly, but his eyes were dull. She knew the situation was not good.
At this moment, Su Yanke didn't care about anything else. She just wanted to save his life first.
Su Yanke took out a string of purple - copper coins made into a brooch from her chest. With the help of the purple - copper coins, she slowly infused her spiritual energy into his body to protect his heart first, slow down his heart rate, reduce the consumption of his physical functions to the minimum, and increase his chance of survival.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
The purple - copper coins suddenly made a sound, accompanied by continuous vibrations. Su Yanke suddenly noticed something. The air around her was distorted!
The air was originally invisible, but now it was like the ripples on the water surface, with tiny ripples.
Wait, what was that! A pond? Flowers! Green grass!
Su Yanke blinked her eyes hard and confirmed again. She wasn't hallucinating. There really was!
"Yan, Yanke, wait for us. I..." Chen Maohua gasped and caught up. Before he could finish his sentence, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. "This, this, this... is it a fairyland? Am I dead or having a hallucination?"
Chen Maohua ran towards the pond in disbelief. He squatted down by the shore tentatively and gently touched the water with his finger. Ripples immediately spread on the water surface.
"Water! It's really water! I'm not hallucinating. This is real!!"
Chen Maohua's suddenly amplified voice woke up Justin and Xiaoyong who came later. They were also looking at the environment in surprise.
While everyone's attention was on the surrounding environment, Su Yanke quickly put away the purple - copper coins.
Su Yanke carried Fu Huayan, the guide, to the water's edge to get some water and replenish his moisture.
Justin came forward to help, but Su Yanke refused.
"I'll do it. You go and drink some water quickly. I'm fine for now. On the contrary, your body is already over - burdened. If you don't replenish some water quickly, my workload will increase by one person later."
Justin was very clear about his own physical condition. He saw that Su Yanke looked fine. Her lips were not even chapped but were still rosy.
So Justin didn't refuse anymore and quickly went to drink water.
After everyone had drunk enough water and rested for a while to adjust their state, Su Yanke suddenly noticed that there was one person missing from their team. She had been taking care of Fu Huayan before and didn't pay much attention to the change in the number of people. Now, why couldn't she see the photographer Xiaoyong? He was still here just now! His girlfriend was still here! Where did he go?
"Where's the photographer Xiaoyong? Did any of you notice where he went?" Su Yanke asked.
Chen Maohua took a moment from his "busy" time and replied, "Maybe he went to find a place to pee. Don't worry. He won't be stupid enough to leave alone here."
Su Yanke waited for a while, but the photographer still didn't come back. She felt a little uneasy in her heart. Just as she was about to go and look for him, the voice of the male photographer Xiaoyong came from the side.
"I've found our supplies. My camera still works. Now the live - broadcast can continue." The photographer Xiaoyong's tone was very happy.
Su Yanke couldn't help twitching the corner of her mouth. This guy was really dedicated! He had just drunk a little water and hadn't fully recovered yet, but he was already looking for his camera to work. Where could you find such a dedicated employee?
——In the live - broadcast room——
"Hey! The live - broadcast is back on! We can watch it. The little cuties are okay!"
"That's great. I've been so worried these days. It's really a blessing from God!"
"Hey, where is this place? Weren't they in the Yingtan Desert? Now it looks like they're in a forest!"
"Yes, look. This is grassland, right? And these flowers. Wait, my God! Is this a pond? This place is so beautiful. Is there such a beautiful place in our country? Why do I seem to have never seen it before?"
"Me too. Never seen it before +1..."
In the city, the traffic congestion disappeared because the live - broadcast was restored, but there were even more people in the live - broadcast room. The website's backend had crashed several times.
——In the desert——
A powerful and pure stream of faith energy rushed into Su Yanke's dantian, quickly restoring the severely depleted dantian.
With sufficient spiritual energy, the next thing would be easier. Su Yanke directly used her spiritual energy to draw a guiding talisman in the air. Before, because Fu Huayan was unconscious, Su Yanke was still worried about how to find the way back. Now that the problem was solved, Su Yanke finally felt relieved.
After Su Yanke led everyone out of the Yingtan Desert, they were shocked by the large crowd.
"Little cutie, you're so amazing. You cracked the secret of the flock of eagles and made them leave. You also found the location of the forbidden area in the desert that wasn't recorded on the national map. Little cutie, you're really great!!!"
Su Yanke was originally very confused, but someone in the crowd secretly gave her a letter. After she opened it, she understood what was going on.
When Su Yanke was attacked by the flock of eagles, Yuan Hexiao had already sent his men to support them. The reason why the photographer Xiaoyong found the supplies and photography equipment so easily and why these things were still in good condition after experiencing such a terrifying tornado was that Yuan Hexiao's men had divided the Yingtan Desert into several areas, and each area had the same supplies. It was all to help Su Yanke quietly.
They also kept an eye on the bullet - screen in the live - broadcast room and explained to the viewers why there was a forest in the desert.
