Phantom of the Pirate

"Brother Hua, when do you think we can get out of this desert!" Panda sat in the shade, fanning himself with his hands constantly, and then said to Hua Mantian who was sitting beside him.

"I don't know, but as long as we walk in the direction where the sun rises, we will be able to go out." Hua Mantian took off the turban on his head, wiped the sweat on his face, and shook his head.

"But brother, we have been walking in the desert for three days and we haven't gone out yet. Did we go the wrong way?" Ximen Yushi, who was resting on the side at this time, said.

There was some complaint in his tone, but looking at his current image, he would not think too much. His white clothes were completely messed up at this time, with some yellow sand on them, white His long hair also couldn't flow freely anymore, it was all knotted together by sweat at this moment, and he looked very embarrassed.

For Ximen Yushi, who always pays attention to his own image, this is his life, so it is not surprising to complain a few words at this time.

As the eldest brother, Hua Mantian obviously knew what kind of personality his third brother had, so he didn't take the other party's complaints to heart.

"It's all the fault of that damned guide. Don't let me see him again. If I see him, his mother will definitely beat him." Thinking that the situation he and others are in at this time is all due to that abominable guide, the panda said viciously. Said.

"When the time comes, let's go together." Ximen Yushi echoed.

"Okay, don't talk about it, let's save some energy first! We don't know when we will get out of this desert!" Hua Mantian said to stop the two of them from complaining.

"It's not what we want to say, it's that the guide is really annoying, just a little storm happened, and he left us and ran away, and took away the water and food we prepared, what do you want me to do? Calm down!" The panda thought that the three of them were struggling against the sudden sandstorm at that time, but they didn't expect the guide to run away with their supplies at this time.

This made the few of them get lost in the desert at once, and the sense of direction of the few people was not very strong, so after wandering in the desert for two days, they still haven't gone out. not angry.

"Swish!"

"I" Ximen Yushi was about to say something, at this time Hua Mantian did reach out his hand to stop the other person's words, and at the same time listened attentively.

"What's the matter, brother?" Seeing Hua Mantian's appearance, Ximen Yushi and Panda came to his side, and asked in a low voice.

"Shh! Don't talk, listen carefully, is there any rustling sound?" Hua Mantian whispered after pointing to the house's mouth.

"Swish!"

The three of them listened carefully, and they really heard the rustling sound, accompanied by some indistinct panting sounds.

"There are still people in the ruins?" Ximen Yushi asked with some doubts, and at the same time looked at Huamantian with curious eyes.

"I don't know, let's go and have a look! If there is someone, then we can ask the other party for directions." Hua Mantian was speechless about Ximen Yushi's question. He is not a god, and he can hear it just by listening to his voice. Is someone coming, so he just shook his head and said.

After Hua Mantian finished speaking, the few people no longer hesitated, and quietly touched the place where the sound was just made.

Several people have been in the desert for more than two days at this time, and on the latest day, they still haven't had a drop of water or rice.

So at this time, when they heard a panting sound that seemed to be a person, everyone became excited.

After all, if there are people, it means that there will be food, and it is more likely that there will be water.

So when they walked all the way, they were excited because they met a person, and worried that it was not a person, but an animal panting.

In such an anxious mood, the three of them followed the sound to the edge of the ruins, and found a big pothole at the edge, and the sound they heard just now came from that pothole.

After getting closer, several people confirmed that the sound just heard was indeed made by a person. At this time, there was a man with a thin face and a dehydrated face in the ground of the big pit, who was constantly pointing a hoe towards the bottom. digging.

"Hello, old man!" After seeing that there were indeed people in the pit, Hua Mantian said politely first.

Hearing Hua Mantian's voice, the people in the pit realized that at some point, three people suddenly appeared outside, and one of them was doing an incomprehensible etiquette towards him with his hands clasped.

Although he couldn't understand which country the other party's etiquette came from, but from the respectful words of the other party, the old man could still feel that the other party was not malicious.

So after seeing a few people, he put the hoe in his hand aside, then crossed his hands in front of his chest, saluted each other back, and said in his mouth at the same time.

"You young people! I don't know why you are here?"

"Hello, we just ran into a storm in the desert and got lost here, just want to ask the old man for directions!" Hearing the old man's question, Hua Mantian said without hiding his purpose of waiting for others.

"Then you are really lucky. You know, getting lost in the desert often means death." Hearing Hua Mantian's answer, the old man smiled and said.

"It seems that we are lucky to meet you here!" Hua Mantian also said with a smile.

While the two were talking, the old man had already climbed up from the big pit while talking, and came in front of them.

"I see that you are also very tired, why don't you go to my house, have a good rest, and drink some water to quench your thirst." When he came to Hua Mantian and the others, the old man also found that their clothes were dry and cracked due to lack of water. lips, so invite to them.

"Then trouble the old man!" Hua Mantian looked at the two people behind him, and felt that he and others really needed to rest, so he didn't refuse, and followed the old man towards the ruins they passed through just now. past.

Soon Huamantian and the three of them, led by the old man, arrived in front of the relatively intact house in the ruins.

"Young man, please! I added you." The old man greeted Hua Mantian and the others enthusiastically.
