Alternative Rival

The desert in front of her was boundless at a glance. Although Lin Jian was physically weak, she tried her best to keep up with Zhao Qingge's footsteps. She knew in her heart that if she couldn't get out, she would have to die. Let alone complete the task, she would have to give her life here. , she blinded her genius brain in vain, and she will never die in the desert.

They had been walking in one direction for more than ten days, the sun rose and set, and there was not a drop of water left in the backpack.Zhao Qingge took a deep breath and asked Lin Jian to stand still. Her feet trudged through the yellow sand, and finally reached a high ground, where she could look from afar.

She didn't believe that she would die in such an unknown way in such a place.

Lin Jian shouted weakly from below: "Hey... have you seen any living people?"

Zhao Qingge waved his hands with his back to her, signaling that he hadn't, but he still didn't come down, as if he was nailed to the high ground, and the wind bulged her sleeves and trouser legs.Suddenly, her eyes slowly narrowed.

Several black spots appeared in the distance. She took off her portable miniature binoculars and looked over. In the small circle-shaped area, the faces of several young men were exposed. They were wearing fur coats and mink fur hats. Riding camels with rattan boxes hanging on them, it looks like a convoy of merchants.

Zhao Qingge was a little uncertain, so he said, "Lin Jian, come up and have a look."

Lin Jian wailed, "I can't move anymore."

Zhao Qingge said leisurely: "If you can't climb up, we can't get out, can't we get up?"

"Here we come." She rolled her arms and legs and moved up on the ground.

Zhao Qingge handed her the binoculars: "Come and see, who are these people?"

"Medium build, dressed as a businessman, with light yellow hair," Lin Jian pulled the lens tube to the longest, trying to see their faces clearly, and kept leaning forward. Zhao Qingge grabbed her back to prevent her fall down.

"The skin is fairer, and the eyeballs are brown? It's too far away and I really can't see clearly. No matter who it is, we have to ask them to take us out."

Lin Jian said and started to run down.

"Wait." Zhao Qingge was thoughtful.

"What are you waiting for?"

"Bring over the pupils you prepared when you came here. We have to change our clothes. Now this outfit is too eye-catching. If there are no accidents in the program, this era should be the period of the third generation of Lone Star. If it is regarded as a Lone Star, What will be the consequence?"

Lin Jian also became serious, and asked, "Then shall we still go to that convoy?"

"I want to find it, but we have to observe and observe."

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Qingge approached in the direction of the convoy, and Lin Jian followed behind her half dead. Finally, Zhao Qingge sat down on the ground, slid down the sandy slope, and said decisively, "Change into an ordinary long-sleeved long-sleeve immediately." The coarse cloth clothes with trousers, the closer they are to the better, but they need to be soiled a bit, and then put on the brown glasses."

"It's not called spectacle lenses, it's called color contact lenses, imported from an alien planet, it can change the color of the eyeballs."

"Whatever it's called," Zhao Qingge picked up a piece of brown invisibility with his fingers, raised his head and opened his eyes and sent it in, "Is this how you wear it?"

"Correct."

Zhao Qingge lowered her head and covered her eyes to get used to it. When she opened it again, she obviously felt that something in her eyes had seriously affected her vision, and it was sore and swollen. After a while, her eyes were full of tears from poor contact.

"Have they left?" Zhao Qingge asked with tears streaming down his face.

Lin Jian had already experimented with these things when introducing them, and she felt nothing but a little discomfort. Seeing that Zhao Qingge was in such a state of distress, she couldn't help gloating, glanced at the convoy, and said, "Not yet, stop and rest." gone."

"Let's go there." Zhao Qingge stood up after speaking.

"your eyes……"

"It just happens to play the role in its true colors, hurry up and keep up."

Afterwards, Lin Jian was in a stunned state of "=mouth=". For the first time, she realized that Zhao Qingge could also perfectly interpret what it means to tell nonsense with open eyes.In short, the two of them are a pair of lonely sisters. Their father was seriously ill and needed to go to the desert to pick a herb called Tianxian Guo to save his life. However, the medicine was not picked, and the wind and sand were trapped in the desert instead. It's over, they will die here if they don't see anyone again.

The leader of the convoy was a 25-year-old young man with a fairly gentle appearance. After he sized up the two of them and determined that they were not threatening, he allocated a camel for them to ride. He thanks.

Everything became clear along the way, but it didn't take much effort to talk about it. There was a talkative young man in that convoy, seventeen or eighteen years old, who kept talking along the way.According to him, they are businessmen who resell medicinal materials and do some fur business by the way, because people in ancient Tianxiu have always been in poor health, and there is a great demand for medicinal materials, and the business in this line of business has always been good.They belonged to the same family, and they selected a few relatively strong young people to do these things that required eating wind and drinking dew.

Zhao Qingge carefully observed the looks of these people. Although they were traveling around all the year round, the exposed skin on their faces and arms still showed a sickly white color. It seemed that they were born lacking some element. The speed was actually not as fast as Zhao Qingge and the others walked before, and they had to stop and rest from time to time. It would be a month before they walked out of the desert.

"Where is your home?" The young man who kept making noises in the motorcade was full of enthusiasm, "I also have some rough medical skills. If it's not far away, you can take me to see a doctor for your father. Maybe I can heal you." OK?"

"Jiang Yi!" The leading young man said dissatisfiedly.

"Cousin, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Our family has been in the medicinal material business for generations. If you can save it, save it. It's a matter of accumulating virtue. Only in this way can our family's business flourish."

"As long as you are right, I will rest in the town ahead and come back before tomorrow morning."

"Come on, thank you cousin, I will definitely go back tonight," the young man named Jiang Yi happily watched the convoy leave, waved goodbye, then turned to Zhao Qingge and said, "Can you take me to your house now?"

Zhao Qingge: "..."

Lin Jian: "..."

It's over, it's really shooting yourself in the foot, who would have expected to meet a second fool who is illuminated by Buddha's light?

Lin Jian held Zhao Qingge's arm tightly, and Zhao Qingge's mind was spinning quickly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Thank you, Brother Jiang, my home is on a mountain not far away, and I will take you there."

Lin Jian winked at her: How can we have a home on the mountain?

Zhao Qingge was also not sure, so he pouted and said that every step counts.

As soon as he entered the mountain, Zhao Qingge fled on the grounds that he had three urgencies, the leaves rustled, it was noon, and when people were most tired, Lin Jian and Jiang Yi sat under the tree and waited for others, leaning against each other. He suggested: "Let's rest here for a while now, my sister won't be back for a while."

Brother Jiang Yi walked for a while and his body was a little too much. He had the intention, but it was not easy to say it in front of the girl, so he accepted it kindly.

Lin Jian quietly opened her eyes with the sound of shoe soles stepping on dead branches, Zhao Qingge nodded to her, and gestured that everything was going well, Jiang Yi fell asleep on the tree trunk, and Lin Jian relaxed , also gently closed his eyes.

Zhao Qingge sat down cross-legged, took out the dagger that was close to him, held it in his hand, and looked over and over again.The leaves were blown violently by the wind, Zhao Qingge immediately turned his head, and then slowly turned back.

Jiang Yi followed the two of them up the mountain, and finally found a small wooden house near the top of the mountain, but the doors and windows were closed. Zhao Qingge's expression changed, and he rushed forward nervously: "Father! Mother!"

The inside is empty, and the building has long since been empty.

There is also a simple tombstone and a small arched mound in the yard. The soil is very new, like a newly mourned person.

Lin Jian sat down on the ground, as if stunned.

Zhao Qingge's tears just fell down, and she didn't cry out. She knelt down and took the "little sister" into her arms.The two cried together.

Brother Jiang Yi didn't need to say a word, he had automatically filled out the whole plot of "the daughter went out to ask for medicine, the father died of serious illness, and the mother either died in love or betrayed her and disappeared". He couldn't bear it immediately and said: "You two little girls You are lonely and have nowhere to go, or you can go to the capital with us first, and after we sell the medicinal materials, you go back to Jiangjiazhuang with us, the Jiang family has a big business, and it is not a problem to arrange two jobs to make a living."

Zhao Qingge wiped away Lin Jian's tears, and with crystal tears still hanging on his own face, he turned his head and said, "Will this be too embarrassing for Brother Jiang? Your cousin...he doesn't seem to like to meddle in other people's business... "

Jiang Yi's heart trembled when she called her "big brother" who suddenly changed his name, and immediately patted his chest and promised: "Let me tell you where my cousin is! He will definitely agree! It's getting late, follow me down the mountain quickly, or We are going to the town, and the road will be difficult to walk by then."

He took two steps and turned around: "You two weak girls, you must follow me closely."

Behind him, out of sight, two "weak" women looked at each other and showed sly smiles. They heard that they were going to the capital in the desert, and they only planned to follow them quietly. Now it seems that , ten times better than expected.

capital……

Zhao Qingge raised his hand to touch the dagger he kept at his waist, wondering if Bo Jue might have been there early.
