| "Even if we could find the mountain, what use would it be?"
"We could escape into the cityThere are houses and fortresses in the city and our chance of escaping the wolves would be much greater than here
"That's right!" Chen saidHe stood on the horse's back once more looking westBut all he could see was a hazy white sky stretching to the horizon
Zhang and the Three Devils could not understand a word of what they said, but they watched suspiciously as Chen stood on the back of his horse twice, and wondered what devilment he was up to
Princess Fragrance took out some dry rations and divided them up amongst all of themAs she sat eating, she gazed out beyond the flames at the horizonSuddenly, she jumped up
"Sister! Look!" Huo Qingtong followed the direction of her omega watches hand and saw a black spot stationary in the sky
"What is it?" she asked
"It's an eagle," Princess Fragrance replied"I saw it fly over from hereBut how could it suddenly stop in mid-air?"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I clearly saw it fly across
"If the black spot isn't an eagle, what could it be?" asked Chen"If it is an eagle, how could it remain motionless in mid-air? It's very strange The three watched the spot for a while, then saw it move and become largerA black eagle swept over their heads
Princess Fragrance raised her hand to tidy her hair, which had been blown about by the windChen looked at her snow-white skin and the white material of her dress next to it and realised the answer
"Look at her hand!" he said excitedly to Huo Qingtong
"Yes, her hands are watch ballon de cartier very pretty," she replied absent-mindedly
"Of course her hands are beautifulBut don't you see? Because her skin is so white, it's difficult at a glance to tell where the hand begins and the dress ends
"So?" asked Huo Qingtong, puzzled
"The eagle was sitting on top of a white mountain!"
"Yes! You're right," Huo Qingtong exclaimed"The sky over there is white, the same colour as the peak, so from a distance, it can't be seen
"Exactly," said Chen
Princess Fragrance realised they were talking about the Secret City"How do we get there?" she asked
"That is what we have to carefully work out," Huo Qingtong repliedShe pulled out the map again and studied it carefully again for a while"When the sun starts to sink towards the west, we'll be able to tell if there's a discount chanel quilted handbags mountain there or not by its shadow
"We mustn't give ourselves away," said Chen"We don't want the others to work out what we're doingLet's pretend we're talking about this wolf," she suggested
Chen pulled the wolf across and the three sat around it, now pulling out one of its hairs and examine it closely, now opening its mouth to look at its teethThe sun gradually sank towards the west and the mountain's shadow did indeed appear, stretching out longer and longer across the desert like some giant lying downHuo Qingtong drew a map on the ground, estimating the distances
"From here to the mountain must be about twenty or thirty miles," she said, turning the wolf over
Chen picked up one of its legs and played with its sharp claws"If we had another horse apart from the white discounted gucci bag horse, the three of us could make that in one go
"So we have to think of some way to get them to allow us to go," Huo Qingtong replied He picked up his dagger and slit open the wolf's stomach
"What's so interesting about that dead wolf?" Zhang shouted, annoyed at not being able to understand what they were saying"Are you discussing how to bury him, Master Chen?"
"We are discussing how to get out," Chen said"Look, the wolf's stomach is completely empty
"Do you have a plan?" Zhang asked
"When the firewood has all been burned and there is no more to collect, then we are all going to die, is that not so?" Zhang and the Three Devils nodded"But if one of us were willing to sacrifice himself and ride out of the circle, the wolves would swarm after him like bees from a cartier santos 100 watch h |
