Xu Jiu continued to walk aimlessly in the desert for the next few days.
Now that he has lost his way, he might as well just let it go, and besides, he is much better than someone who is really lost.He still has space, food, and water. No matter what, he will not starve to death, but he is very tired from walking.
During the day, the sand is scorching hot, and the soles of the feet feel like they are on fire. Wearing shoes makes you feel like dying, and taking off your shoes makes you jump up and down. The tossing person had a runny nose.
I don't know if Ba is still alive.
Xu Jiu was bewitched by Ba that day, and his original plan to go home was rejected. Ba meant that it would be useless for him to go home, so he might as well hurry up while the person who drove him away has not come yet, and he can move freely in the territory. Find a place to settle down.
Xu Jiu also thought it was feasible, so he and Ba, plus Ba's seven or eight younger brothers, embarked on the journey together.
Although Ba is the boss, there is still a boss above him. The boss of the boss was beheaded by Du Tuxuan, the original property was completely destroyed, and their foundation was basically gone.The life of the upper class is already so difficult, let alone the lowest class like Ba.Continuing to stay in Dutu Manor, apart from robbing houses and houses, he can no longer make ends meet.But he deeply hated robbing houses, so he decided to leave early in the morning.
Regardless of ambition or whatever, besides his younger brother, he also has a healer who can start over wherever he goes.
The location of Dutu Manor is extremely bad, but the neighbors across the huge desert are said to be very rich.Before Du Tuxuanshuang came, a large number of people sneaked across the desert every year to lead the country to seek life, and half of them were killed or injured just on the way across the desert.
Xu Jiu only knew that he was going to cross the desert, and he didn't think it was very dangerous.Besides, Ba found a guide again and raised funds to buy more than a dozen Shata beasts, one head per person, and the beasts were equipped with water and food for half a month on their backs.It can be said that eight generals hit their wives on it.
Before setting off, I asked someone to predict the future good or bad, and I went on the road only after the good fortune was predicted.When they arrived at the boundary, a group of people kowtowed a few times on the edge of the desert. Their mentality was not impious, and their preparations were not insufficient.
As a result, less than a day after setting foot in the desert, there was a sandstorm.
The intensity of the sandstorm has been rare in the past ten years. What about the good luck?
Xu Jiu was worried, and regretted that she didn't say hello to her parents before leaving.Even though he went back with such an identity, he was bound to get a lot of stares, which would also bring troubles to his parents, and might even make them unable to live in the village.
And what can I do after I go back, in my heart, Xu Jiu doesn't want to see other people's sympathetic eyes.He didn't want to face the situation of being watched and commented by others, so Bayi said, and he agreed.
If he went back to meet his grandmother first, and then was driven to the wilderness by the little butler waiting there under the watchful eyes of everyone, he might soon be fed to the belly of the beast, and he might wander in the wilderness for many years, but once he entered the wilderness, it would be difficult for him. Out.
One side of the wasteland is a cliff, and the other side is Du Tuxuanshuang's territory. If he can't enter the territory and doesn't want to jump off the cliff, he can only wander in the wasteland until he dies.
I don't know whether the money and letter he entrusted to bring have been received by the family.
People in Dasha Village are illiterate, and of course Xu Jiu doesn't know many people.Their letters are all symbols and pictures, draw a big spectrum, and the people who read it can basically understand it by guessing.People in the wilderness have a hard life, and the genes for trekking and hunting are deeply rooted in their bones. Grandma once said that no beast is willing to be locked in a cage.Therefore, people's love for home is generally not serious. When a child grows up, he should be thrown into the sky like a bird. If he wants to come back, he will come back. If he doesn't want to come back, it is home.
It's like a child in an elder's family who hasn't been home for nearly 20 years, but everyone thinks it's normal.He certainly won't leave for that long, but now he doesn't want to go back.
Grandma doesn't need a cowardly son, and he can't face a self who accepts his fate.
After the storm, he found many buried items under the calm sand.He took the useful ones into the space, and abandoned the useless ones there. The most unbearable thing for him was that he also found many dead people.Some people died not long ago, and there are still half-decomposed bones.The climate in the desert is dry and hot, and the corpse deteriorates very quickly. Every time he walks, he feels that something is wrong with his feet. When he pulls it out, it becomes a corpse. Buried.
Some people believe in the afterlife and reincarnation, and believe that life is to experience all kinds of pain in the world in continuous reincarnation, and they will not be liberated until they are fully enlightened.
Therefore, the Buddha said that seeing the five aggregates are empty, he can overcome all sufferings.
Reincarnation is continuous experience, continuous reflection and self-reflection, eliminating the impurities of life, and finally reaching the great realm of life, great clarity.However, in all things in the world, although there are sufferings and sufferings, there are still more things that cannot be let go, and some are even the basis for the existence of life.
As the saying goes, you cherish yourself with a broom, and the things that accompany you all the way, no matter how bad they are, only you will still cherish them and treat them like treasures.
At this moment, Xu Jiu would rather believe that there is reincarnation, and hope that the souls that have wandered in this desert for thousands of years will have a resting place.Some people say that the strong wind is the howling of souls on the wasteland, and people are dying in the wasteland every moment. They are reluctant to leave and linger and struggle in their old place for a long time.
"I hope you will be reborn into a good family." After burying another corpse, Xu Jiu wished silently, then stood up and patted the sand on his body to continue walking.
Although the desert is calm and serene, there are many unknown things hidden under the smooth surface.The storm caused a lot of damage. Xu Jiu saw a lot of remains of sand tower beasts, as well as a lot of goods that were blown out by the wind and sand.There are more people who have not died for a long time. Some of them show a struggling hand like a withered poplar, some open their mouths wide, their eyeballs protrude, and their seven orifices are filled with sand.
As the number of people increased, he began to pay attention to whether there was an oasis around him.
If it weren't for going to a place close to the population concentration, there would never be so many corpses anyway.Even if people often cross the desert to other territories, such people are only a minority in the vast desert, not even leaving a shadow in the sand sea.
In addition to hunters and merchants dressed in ordinary clothes, he also saw many soldiers in guard uniforms.Some soldiers had serious wounds on their bodies, indicating that a serious fight must have taken place before they died.
This storm made Xu Jiu collect a lot of cloth, gems, gold and silverware, and many daily necessities, such as raw body fluid stone, stone core powder and the like.He also collected a lot of weapons. The smelting industry in this continent is well developed, and the cold weapons made are of excellent performance.Moreover, the rich are extravagant, and those with a little bit of status decorate their belongings with sparkles, and the scabbard is almost completely covered with gems of various colors.
He picked up all the way, and when he picked them up, he sorted them into the space, and in the end he collected all the things in a room.
On this day, he found another person.The man was also wearing a soldier's uniform, and fell in a shallow sandy nest, half of his body was buried, his body was curled up, exposing one foot and half of his head.
As usual, Xu Jiu thought it was a dead person, but he still used a small shovel to remove the sand from the person's body.It didn't matter if he pulled it out, he found that although the person was motionless, his face was flushed and his joints were abnormally soft, he might be a living person!
He was immediately agitated, and immediately pulled this person out, and put his hand under the opponent's breath——
Although the nostrils were full of yellow sand, although the strong wind was still fierce, Xu Jiu still firmly believed that he could feel the faint breath of this person.As if to be sure, he cut another small incision on the man's finger, and soon a smear of red oozes out.
Really found a living person!
But the condition of this living person is very bad. The symptoms of water shortage are obvious, and he was buried in the sand for a while, causing his face to be red and white, as if his life was hanging by a thread.Immediately Xu Jiu picked up the person on his back, quickly ran to the back of a large sand dune nearby, settled the person there, and immediately dodged into the space.
Filled a whole bag of spiritual water with the skin bag he picked up, then pried the man's teeth to feed the water, and sprinkled the rest on his body and limbs to cool the man down.Lingshui is a kind of elixir, as long as Xu Jiu feeds it, he doesn't worry about the effect.He or this person lay on the ground and went back to the space again.
Packed a decent package in the space, and fabricated an identity for myself.However, this identity is very difficult to fabricate, because he has a scar on the side of his face and neck. Although the wound is not so ferocious after being nourished by spiritual water, it is difficult to say that he is a rich man or something.He picked up some ID badges along the way, and after comparing them for a while, he picked out the ID badge of a merchant's housekeeper.The big butler who accompanied the young master to Dutu Manor to ship goods, but the crowd was scattered due to a sandstorm on the way.
Fortunately, he has been running around these days, looking down and out. After being scorched by the sun for so many days, the exposed skin exploded layer after layer. Although the spiritual water can recover, he doesn't care much about it as a man.
After fabricating the identity and packing the package, he scooped up water and drank it, then filled two more bags, and carried it out of the space.
The person outside was still in a coma, Xu Jiu and Shui fed him a pill, then sat aside and dozed off, waiting for the person to wake up.
……
There was a faint movement at the foot, Xu Jiu's sleepiness was only half closed, and he raised his eyes tiredly to look at the person at the foot.The man started to moan after waking up, as if he didn't understand the situation, he looked at Xu Jiu bit by bit with a dazed and surprised expression.
Seeing that he was still watching for a long time, as if he wanted to see the end of the world, Xu Jiu was not happy, and kicked him: "Are you awake?"
As soon as the man heard him speak, he immediately reacted, and then swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "Water..."
People on the verge of death due to lack of water in the desert will suffer from dehydration, just like Xu Jiu knows that he has fed this person a lot of water, but the first feeling of this person is still extremely lacking.Xu Jiu gave him his water bag, and the man tremblingly grasped it tightly, as if grabbing his own life with extreme force, twisted the lid many times before unscrewing it, and carefully sent the water bag to his mouth.
"Gudong Gudong Gudong..." The swallowing sound was urgent, the man's mouth overflowed a lot, and he was eager to avoid the water from leaking out, so he drank even more urgently, then choked and coughed until he was dizzy.
Xu Jiu silently closed the lid of the water bag.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The water choked into the throat, and the man coughed in pain, curling up into a ball.
Xu Jiu and the others just coughed and continued to doze off with their eyes closed.
"May I ask what your benefactor's name is?" The man's voice was weak, but his tone was soft and standard, indicating that he had received a special education.But Xu Jiu didn't catch a cold at all, he was stimulated by the word "benefactor", and felt a chill in his heart.
Xu Jiu answered according to the name on the ID card: "Beide."
"Lord Bede."
"I dare not, I'm just a servant." Xu Jiu rejected the title, "Are you feeling better?"
"No... I don't feel it..." the man murmured.He drank water, but his body was still chaotic and paralyzed, making him unable to tell whether he was good or bad.
"It doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while, you are really short of water." Xu Jiu let him hold the water bag, "Are you hungry?"
It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but when he said that, the man felt his stomach cramping, as if the awakening button was suddenly triggered, he twitched in pain——
"hungry."
It looked like he was going to die the next moment.
Xu Jiu took out a piece of milk biscuit from the package and gave it to him: "There are not many things, so save some food."
The man didn't expect Xu Jiu to be so kind, to give him water and food, you must know that these things are equal to life in the desert, just like giving life to others.
Seeing the gratitude in his eyes, Xu Jiu still looked lazily: "If you look at me like this, I have a purpose in saving you."
The man gulped down the milk pancakes, and after a small piece of pancake was choked, he drank a sip of water before stopping.The water source in the desert is rare. Originally half of the water bag was drunk by this man after waking up. He cherished the rest very much. Even if he choked, he only took a small sip. .
Xu Jiu took back the water bag silently.
The man followed his hands all the way to the burden.
"Don't make any crooked ideas, you can't beat me." Xu Jiu only wanted to get out of the desert, and he was not willing to make friends with this person. He also said in a very cold tone, "Think about how you can get out of the desert."
"That, benefactor..."
"Bed."
"Okay, Bede. You misunderstood me, you saved my life, how could I give you a wrong idea..."
"It doesn't matter. You haven't eaten or drank yourself, so it's normal to think about my things, so let's talk about it."
His old-fashioned tone made the man look at him in surprise several times.
"You say."
"I don't have much water and food, and I am in a hurry to get out of the desert. You take me out, and I will take care of your diet."
It sounded like a very kind proposal. This person asked himself, but he would definitely not be able to do it the other way around.But the problem is: "...But Bede, I don't know the way either."
Xu Jiu's relaxed expression immediately changed, he was a little depressed, although he knew that this person might not know how to go this way, but he was really sure, but he was still disappointed.
His expression was undisguised, which made the man extremely uneasy: "Bede, although I don't know the way, I can still recognize familiar places when I encounter them, and I can watch the stars. At night, we will follow the stars. Always get out."
Xu Jiu knew that this person was anxious to prove himself, and was afraid that he would leave him behind.He didn't mean to lose this person, since he saved it, he would save it to the end, but in his heart, it was just a small effort, he was not interested in this person at all, and he would immediately break up when he went out.
"Well. Then find your own way."
"No, benefactor, I am very accurate at stargazing, and I will definitely find a way out! You just need to take me out, my family is rich, and I will not treat you poorly!" He said excitedly, subconsciously grasping the water Looking at Xu Jiu's expression eagerly and sincerely.
Xu Jiu also realized that his words were ambiguous, so he had to repeat: "Let's find the way together. We can't do it alone, maybe we can't get out after the food is finished. We have a higher possibility of finding the exit together."
This is to show that he will not be left behind.
The man was relieved, but in a blink of an eye he was worried again.He definitely didn't want to die. The experience of almost dying due to lack of water in the desert left him with lingering fears. No matter what, he didn't want to try this feeling again.However, the people in front of him were lukewarm to him, and besides, in the desert, everyone wanted to protect themselves, even if this Bede had a good heart and was really dead, would this person sacrifice himself to help others?
It's the biggest joke in the world.
The man secretly paid attention and cheered up to look around.If there was really only one way to go, he knew he would take it without hesitation.Yes, live, everything is for living.
Xu Jiu remained silent, leaning on the sandy slope to catch up on sleep.He is not interested in what this person thinks, and now he just wants to get out.It's enough to stay in the desert, even if you can't get out, it's good to have a living thing beside you.
"My name is Jin." Another person said.
Xu Jiu murmured disinterestedly, indicating that he heard it.
It is extremely unwise to talk too much in the desert, because every time you open your mouth, you can feel the moisture in your mouth being evaporated instantly, and your throat is dry, painful and hoarse, which is very uncomfortable.After Jin said his name, he was already extremely reluctant, but the person in front of him was not interested at all, as if he had made up his mind to treat him as a stranger.
However, he can treat himself as a stranger, and he will definitely deepen his relationship with the other party; he gives himself a cold face, and he must never return the cold face.After all, it is food and clothing that parents should not offend!
This person was originally a mindful person, he stopped talking and only kept calculating in his heart.
☆, 108|6.1.6.20
With one more traveler, Xu Jiu's chances of running amok are greatly reduced.
Jin has a very clear understanding of the destination. He told Xu Jiu that the nearest small town on the other side of the desert is called Yegu, which is famous for its rich black oil and is one of the financial pillars of Fengyuan Territory.
Fengyuan Territory and Du Tuxuan Shuang's Territory are separated by a large desert. This side of the desert is arid for many years, and it is hard to grow any grass. The other side of the desert is rich in products, and even native plants grow.The Fengyuan Territory is a place blessed by nature. The population is concentrated in the south of the territory, and the population in the north is small. The most populated are desperadoes and gold miners.The lord of the Fengyuan territory is also the Dutu royal family, and it is said that they are close relatives.
As Jin spoke, Xu Jiu listened. Of course, the two of them did not communicate most of the time.The water sac that Jin was holding at the beginning had been drained, Xu Jiu gave him another bag, and bluntly said that it was the last time to give him water, and there would be nothing left after drinking it.He didn't hide his secrets, and it was fair for the two of them to share a bag of water.When he was talking to Jin, it was obvious that the man was very surprised. He didn't know whether he was surprised or moved, and he held onto Xu Jiu's hand tightly.
"Your water is really delicious, better than the best Qionglu." Jin sipped the water, moistened his throat, and took another sip carefully.
Xu Jiu was dazed by the sun, and kept silent as usual, without saying a word.
"Every time I drink this water, I feel a coolness spread from my heart to my limbs. I feel lazy and want to teach someone to sleep."
The water in the sac is spiritual water, which not only tastes good, but also has medicinal effects. After drinking it, the weakness of the whole body seems to disappear, even the pain caused by long-term exposure to the sun and walking is gone.These Tianjings kept praising the water, and there was no lack of temptation in their words.
However, Xu Jiu always said one thing: "You are thirsty to realize that this water is different, it is just water."
"Then Bede, where did you get your water? When we go out, I will find someone to buy this water vein."
Xu Jiu didn't give a single look, and said in a blow, "We'll talk about it when we get out."
Jin was immediately dejected.
Xu Jiu was leading the way when he suddenly stepped on another hard object.He made a pause gesture to the back, took a step back, and carefully pushed aside the shaft post he had picked up.
Underneath is a sanda beast, with its mouth wide open, frozen in the sand nest, its eyes staring.Xu Jiu pushed all the sand off its body and looked at it carefully.
Jin also leaned over, and soon had the same doubts as Xu Jiu: "This is not long since he died."
Xu Jiu nodded: "Yes."
The desert is hot, and the living things start to stink the day after they die, with maggots growing on their bodies, and the smell wafts for miles against the wind.However, the one in front of them was still fresh, with no signs of bleeding.Xu Jiu grabbed the beast's leg and together with Jin turned the Shata beast down.
A large piece of meat was cut off from the back of the Shata Beast, its internal organs bloody seeped into the sand, and its heart was shattered, which is a typical one-shot death.
When Jin saw the wound, his face suddenly turned pale: "This, is this a Sand Bandit?"
"What bandits?"
Jin was short of breath: "Sand bandits are a group of evil bandits in Fengyuan. They act rampantly and seriously endanger the security of the territory. Everyone can punish them..."
"Speak the key."
"They are good at using the hook blade, which is an eight-clawed hook in front of the long hook. When it stabs a person hard, it will pull out the entire stomach."
"Is there no one to suppress the bandits?"
"Of course there are people! Otherwise these sergeants wouldn't have died! The bandits are too rampant! Hateful!"
Xu Jiu thought of something, and said lightly: "The bandits are rampant. In the final analysis, it is not good for the lord of this place to rule."
Jin blushed and wanted to tell the difference. After a while, he said: "How many people's interests will be involved in every move of the lord! It is a net, and parents, children and clan members are all in it, so how can it be easily moved! It's not Du Tu Xuanshuang is not stingy, has no wife and no children, and his parents and family members don't pay attention to him."
Xu Jiu: "..."
Seeing his complexion changing again and again, Jin said awkwardly, "I forgot that you came from Dutu Manor."
Xu Jiu's forehead twitched. I don't know if it was because of Du Tuxuan, or because this person scolded him, and he felt very depressed.
"Are you mad, Bede?"
Xu Jiu was brought back to his senses by his shouting, and gave the man a vicious look, Jin was startled by him.
Seeing his alert look, Xu Jiu realized that he had lost his composure, and moved his lips: "I'm fine."
However, his gaffe really makes people fantasize about it. Jin thinks about the reason for his gaffe, is it because he scolded Sand Bandits, or Du Tuxuan Shuang?If it was the latter, Jin asked himself why he reacted so much without saying anything?
former?
A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind, and Jin stared at Xu Jiu's neck in horror.After several days of driving in the desert, the disguise on this man's neck had already been blown out of his true colors by the wind and sand, but he only saw it now!How can ordinary people get hurt there? This is obviously a trace of torture!Is he in the same group as Sand Bandits?
Xu Jiu didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at by a person, but he didn't take it too seriously. It didn't matter what the person behind him was to him. After walking out of the desert, it didn't matter if everyone broke up.And he knew that his reaction just now was a bit too much, but he didn't bother to explain, so he simply remained silent to the end.
The two walked forward as usual.
Since encountering the Shata Beast, more and more corpses have been found on the road, some with sergeant uniforms, some with bare backs and only pants, obviously from two camps.Most of the sergeants had their heads smashed by heavy weapons, and their abdomens were hooked out, and the reckless men were all killed by swords and guns.
A large number of corpses made this sea of sand exude a disgusting smell. The wind and sand piled up on them, and then blown away, layer by layer soaked in blood, black and red.The two shuttled through it, their expressions pale.
"Since there will be a battle here, it means that we have reached the border of the desert." It's just that there is still sand at a glance, and I'm afraid there is still a long way to go.
Jin shook his head: "I don't know, how could I be here..."
His voice was very soft, coupled with the loud wind and sand, Xu Jiu couldn't hear clearly: "What?"
"Nothing, let's move on."
What is necessary when walking forward is: "These corpses are so fresh, which means that the time of the killing was yesterday afternoon at the latest. I don't know if those people are still nearby."
When he said this, Jin was also shocked, and looked at Xu Jiu: "You, what do you think?"
We have already come here, the exit is just ahead, we must move forward no matter what.Xu Jiu didn't even think about it: "Let's go out along the corpse."
"..." Jin silently followed him.
The dead bodies on the road made both of them uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was unusually silent.The sand under my feet is no longer as dry as before, and it always feels sticky when I step on it, making my scalp tingle.
The dry food was not enough a few days ago, the jerky was as dry as a stone, and I could barely eat it before, but now I don't even have the desire to eat.Xu Jiu's stomach ached from hunger, he tightened his belt silently, and took a few sips of water.
"We can't go wrong, right?" the person behind asked.
"probably not."
Xu Jiu was also not sure. If the route was correct, why did they not arrive after walking for so long?There were fewer corpses on the road, but there was still an endless desert ahead.
"Find a clean place, let's rest for a while." He said to the people behind him.
Jin is also tired enough: "Okay."
So the two walked for a while, and sat down in a leeward sand nest.The two were so tired that neither of them spoke, one drank water by himself, and the other chewed the jerky with great effort.
While they were busy with each other, suddenly a burst of sand poured on the two of them.The two were attacked violently, and jumped away at the same time, when they heard a muffled voice from above the sand nest: "Grandma Rita, how are you doing! Are there any bandits up there?"
Although the voice was deliberately lowered, the two could still hear it clearly. Xu Jiu hurriedly grabbed the person next to him and lay down on the ground.
What followed was the sound of an opening, and the sound of another person speaking.The voice was no longer muffled, it protruded from the ground, and opened into the air carelessly: "There are no bandits, huh?!"
Oops, found out!
☆, 109|6.1.6.20
The six eyes are opposite.
Xu Jiu and Jin confronted the man sticking his head out of the hole.
It was a very strong, square-faced man, and he was about to jump out in just a moment: "Who is there!"
There was a naked murderous look in the man's eyes from time to time, making him extremely terrified.And in his hand is a strange round wheel, with thick iron chains wrapped around his arms.Met sand/bandit!
When the man threw that disk at them, they were no different from any other corpse in the desert!
Xu Jiu pulled a piece of brocade, and the two quickly ran to the side of the cave, and before the man came out, one of them took an iron rod for picking up the corpse and knocked on it!
The half body of the man was still in the hole, and the kung fu of the hook blade could not be fully used. Xu Jiu and the others were really fast, dodging the hook blade that hit them, and rushed forward.The man didn't expect the two to be so bold, and when he was caught off guard, he was hit hard on the head a few times and was knocked into the hole by the two of them.
There was a lot of noise in the cave, and there were many people listening to the sound!
"who!"
"There's someone up there!"
The noisy sound was just under their feet, and the two desperately pushed the sand into the hole, covering their heads and faces, and sprinkled it down, and soon someone was blinded and began to curse viciously.Seeing a hook blade coming up from the hole again, Xu Jiu pulled Jin aside, and didn't care that the hook blade was about to hit the person, quickly took out a few bottles of drugs and poison, and poured them into the hole like he didn't want money, pouring them while pouring them. Keep pushing sand into the hole—
"Ahem, what are you, dizzy..." Jin also choked on the sand, and slowed down the movement of pouring sand, his eyes were filled with stars.
Xu Jiu threw him another bottle: "Pour out one and eat!"
Jin duo pulled off the bottle cap tremblingly, took the medicine, and looked at Xu Jiu: "Are you taking it?"
Xu Jiu was also dizzy. Although he prepared the medicine, he really didn't have the ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, but he also guarded against the medicine not being successful and harming himself. He has been taking the antidote one after another these days. Therefore, the symptoms are much lighter than Jin.
Xu Jiu opened his mouth to signal Jin to feed him the medicine.
There were only a few antidotes in the bottle, and after feeding Xu Jiu, Jin worried about eating all of them.
In this way, the sand mixed with poison was continuously pushed into the hole. Even though the people inside were extremely strong, there was gradually no movement below.
Jin took a stick and probed downwards. When the stick touched the jade bi, it made a crisp sound: "There is no movement, are they all dead?"
Xu Jiu shook his head: "It's just fainted by poison, not dead yet."
Jin was very excited: "Why don't you kill them!"
Xu Jiu didn't say a word.
Jin was in a hurry: "We have to kill them, that person has seen us! Once we are entangled by sand bandits, we will not be able to survive in this life!"
"But I can't be sure that they are sand bandits."
"Didn't you see this hook blade!" Jin pointed to the hook blade beside him, which almost smashed his head just now, "This is the Sand Bandit!"
Xu Jiu looked at the blood-stained roulette beside him, and there were pieces of flesh on it, exuding a stench that smelled like iron.He actually knew that the people below were sand bandits without a doubt, but killing/people...
He doesn't think he is kind, the reason why there are so many medicines in the bag is because he is also wary of Jin, even if the people around him have not done anything against him, he is still deeply guarded.But there is no killing drug in these medicines.
He didn't think he would kill/people.
Xu Jiu stood up: "Look at the hole first, wait for me for a while."
Xu Jiu carried the bag and ran to another back slope with Jin's eyes tearing apart, entered the space and quickly dispensed a large bottle of medicine, then climbed up the slope and handed it to Jin: "Hua Gu Shui."
This name is very rare, Kam has never heard of it.Can't help asking: "What?"
"This potion will strongly corrode flesh and blood. Once a person touches it, it will quickly turn into a puddle of blood. Where the blood flows, everything will be completely wiped away."
Xu Jiu explained coldly with a stern face, took back the bone melting water, and carefully dripped a drop on the hook blade——
sizzle-
A big hole was corroded in the middle of the hook blade at a speed visible to the naked eye!The hole continues to grow—
Jin was dumbfounded.
Xu Jiu pushed the hook blade into the hole, and then poured the whole bottle of bone-melting water into it.Then he closed the cork and squeezed the vial in his hand.
And Jin looked at him with the eyes of a monster the whole time, seeing that he was holding the medicine bottle in his hand, he stared at the medicine bottle in a daze.
The medicinal material in this bottle was obtained by Xu Jiu from the witch doctor family. It is made of bluestone core and refined chalcedony, which can restrain the bone water.
Xu Jiu was in a bad mood, and the evil he saw came from his guts: "Why, are you interested?"
Jin's first reaction was to shake his head, but he didn't move when he shook his head halfway, looking very conflicted.
"Let's go." Xu Jiu looked around, stood up first and walked forward, "Leave this place quickly."
Jin immediately got up and followed him.
"Well, Bede... where did you get these things from?"
The two walked in silence for a long time, but the people behind them couldn't help it anymore.
Xu Jiu didn't say a word.
Jin refused and didn't dare to ask again, but still followed him step by step.
The two couldn't figure out the direction, so they chose a place away from the corpses and walked quickly.Xu Jiu was in a bad mood. At the beginning, he handed the medicine bottle to Jin, probably intending to use the other party's hand to kill someone, just like a gentleman who cooks far away. Of course, other people do these jobs best.However, no matter how whitewashed it is, this crime was also caused by him, so why set up a memorial archway?
Xu Jiu is indeed not a good person.
I don't know how much blood was stained on these hands.
Usually when he sees Du Tuxuan's double killing/people, he still can't bear to think that it's nothing to do with him, but when it's his turn, he suddenly understands why Du Tuxuan's heart is so cold and hard.Probably like him at this moment, people who really kill people probably don't care too much about their children.
"Let's take a break..." Jin Zao couldn't keep up, seeing that the people in front were still walking like the wind, he couldn't help but begged.
Xu Jiu stopped belatedly, his legs swayed and fell on the sand, he rubbed his calf, and sat down on the ground without making a sound.
There is nothing but sand around, and the exit is still nowhere to be found.They originally thought they could find the exit along the place where there were many corpses, but they accidentally stumbled into the bandit's cave. They had no choice but to flee in other directions.However, their energy has been overdrawn by the running around these days, and now they have no strength to sit down, and even envy the corpse lying on the ground.
Xu Jiu took another sip of water.
Jin was still sipping, his water was running out.
"It's dusk again." Both of them were a little depressed.
"Going a little further, we have to go out of this distance. Otherwise, if an accomplice chases us out..."
Jin Wenyan turned pale, licked his chapped lips, and stood up staggeringly: "Let's go."
For the first time in so many days in the desert, they hurried on their way, or escaped for their lives.Since Jin saw him kill the bandit, he overturned his previous speculation that this person was an accomplice of the bandit, but added a new layer of fear.
Over the past few days, he has been trying to cultivate a "revolutionary friendship" with this person, but unfortunately, this person is reticent. Although he is silent, he will not be soft when he is provoked.Jin didn't touch the other party's package, food and water were split between him and him from the very beginning, he never knew that the other party's bag contained so much poison!
Who the hell would carry a load of poison on the road!
Fortunately, I didn't grab food from him!
These days Jin's food and water are gradually decreasing, it's not that he hasn't thought of robbing the other party.Seeing this person's weak appearance, he was sure that the other party was not his opponent.The reason why he didn't do anything, apart from the fact that he couldn't get out alone in the desert, and he still had a little integrity, was because this person's aura was very strange.
He is obviously weak, but he always looks unpredictable when he keeps a straight face.
In other words, Xu Jiu has been on Jin's "to be watched" list.I suspected that he was a hidden sand bandit before, but now I suspect that this person's companion must have been poisoned/dead by him!
Thinking of this, a bunch of goosebumps appeared on Jin's body. Looking at the small package in front of him, he decided to be honest and save his life.
What Xu Jiu didn't know was that while they were on their way, the people behind him used him as a prototype and made up a bunch of horrific and bloody incidents in their brains. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, and they looked at him with fear and surprise in their eyes.
After the sun went down, the temperature dropped rapidly.The air was very cold, and the sand under our feet still had a strong heat. The hot and cold transpiration made the whole person extremely uncomfortable, and the smoke gradually filled the field of vision.
Both of them were exhausted, their feet were so heavy that they couldn't even climb.
"Just stay here overnight." Xu Jiu found a leeward slope and took out the thick clothes in the package.
Now that he has lost his way, he might as well just let it go, and besides, he is much better than someone who is really lost.He still has space, food, and water. No matter what, he will not starve to death, but he is very tired from walking.
During the day, the sand is scorching hot, and the soles of the feet feel like they are on fire. Wearing shoes makes you feel like dying, and taking off your shoes makes you jump up and down. The tossing person had a runny nose.
I don't know if Ba is still alive.
Xu Jiu was bewitched by Ba that day, and his original plan to go home was rejected. Ba meant that it would be useless for him to go home, so he might as well hurry up while the person who drove him away has not come yet, and he can move freely in the territory. Find a place to settle down.
Xu Jiu also thought it was feasible, so he and Ba, plus Ba's seven or eight younger brothers, embarked on the journey together.
Although Ba is the boss, there is still a boss above him. The boss of the boss was beheaded by Du Tuxuan, the original property was completely destroyed, and their foundation was basically gone.The life of the upper class is already so difficult, let alone the lowest class like Ba.Continuing to stay in Dutu Manor, apart from robbing houses and houses, he can no longer make ends meet.But he deeply hated robbing houses, so he decided to leave early in the morning.
Regardless of ambition or whatever, besides his younger brother, he also has a healer who can start over wherever he goes.
The location of Dutu Manor is extremely bad, but the neighbors across the huge desert are said to be very rich.Before Du Tuxuanshuang came, a large number of people sneaked across the desert every year to lead the country to seek life, and half of them were killed or injured just on the way across the desert.
Xu Jiu only knew that he was going to cross the desert, and he didn't think it was very dangerous.Besides, Ba found a guide again and raised funds to buy more than a dozen Shata beasts, one head per person, and the beasts were equipped with water and food for half a month on their backs.It can be said that eight generals hit their wives on it.
Before setting off, I asked someone to predict the future good or bad, and I went on the road only after the good fortune was predicted.When they arrived at the boundary, a group of people kowtowed a few times on the edge of the desert. Their mentality was not impious, and their preparations were not insufficient.
As a result, less than a day after setting foot in the desert, there was a sandstorm.
The intensity of the sandstorm has been rare in the past ten years. What about the good luck?
Xu Jiu was worried, and regretted that she didn't say hello to her parents before leaving.Even though he went back with such an identity, he was bound to get a lot of stares, which would also bring troubles to his parents, and might even make them unable to live in the village.
And what can I do after I go back, in my heart, Xu Jiu doesn't want to see other people's sympathetic eyes.He didn't want to face the situation of being watched and commented by others, so Bayi said, and he agreed.
If he went back to meet his grandmother first, and then was driven to the wilderness by the little butler waiting there under the watchful eyes of everyone, he might soon be fed to the belly of the beast, and he might wander in the wilderness for many years, but once he entered the wilderness, it would be difficult for him. Out.
One side of the wasteland is a cliff, and the other side is Du Tuxuanshuang's territory. If he can't enter the territory and doesn't want to jump off the cliff, he can only wander in the wasteland until he dies.
I don't know whether the money and letter he entrusted to bring have been received by the family.
People in Dasha Village are illiterate, and of course Xu Jiu doesn't know many people.Their letters are all symbols and pictures, draw a big spectrum, and the people who read it can basically understand it by guessing.People in the wilderness have a hard life, and the genes for trekking and hunting are deeply rooted in their bones. Grandma once said that no beast is willing to be locked in a cage.Therefore, people's love for home is generally not serious. When a child grows up, he should be thrown into the sky like a bird. If he wants to come back, he will come back. If he doesn't want to come back, it is home.
It's like a child in an elder's family who hasn't been home for nearly 20 years, but everyone thinks it's normal.He certainly won't leave for that long, but now he doesn't want to go back.
Grandma doesn't need a cowardly son, and he can't face a self who accepts his fate.
After the storm, he found many buried items under the calm sand.He took the useful ones into the space, and abandoned the useless ones there. The most unbearable thing for him was that he also found many dead people.Some people died not long ago, and there are still half-decomposed bones.The climate in the desert is dry and hot, and the corpse deteriorates very quickly. Every time he walks, he feels that something is wrong with his feet. When he pulls it out, it becomes a corpse. Buried.
Some people believe in the afterlife and reincarnation, and believe that life is to experience all kinds of pain in the world in continuous reincarnation, and they will not be liberated until they are fully enlightened.
Therefore, the Buddha said that seeing the five aggregates are empty, he can overcome all sufferings.
Reincarnation is continuous experience, continuous reflection and self-reflection, eliminating the impurities of life, and finally reaching the great realm of life, great clarity.However, in all things in the world, although there are sufferings and sufferings, there are still more things that cannot be let go, and some are even the basis for the existence of life.
As the saying goes, you cherish yourself with a broom, and the things that accompany you all the way, no matter how bad they are, only you will still cherish them and treat them like treasures.
At this moment, Xu Jiu would rather believe that there is reincarnation, and hope that the souls that have wandered in this desert for thousands of years will have a resting place.Some people say that the strong wind is the howling of souls on the wasteland, and people are dying in the wasteland every moment. They are reluctant to leave and linger and struggle in their old place for a long time.
"I hope you will be reborn into a good family." After burying another corpse, Xu Jiu wished silently, then stood up and patted the sand on his body to continue walking.
Although the desert is calm and serene, there are many unknown things hidden under the smooth surface.The storm caused a lot of damage. Xu Jiu saw a lot of remains of sand tower beasts, as well as a lot of goods that were blown out by the wind and sand.There are more people who have not died for a long time. Some of them show a struggling hand like a withered poplar, some open their mouths wide, their eyeballs protrude, and their seven orifices are filled with sand.
As the number of people increased, he began to pay attention to whether there was an oasis around him.
If it weren't for going to a place close to the population concentration, there would never be so many corpses anyway.Even if people often cross the desert to other territories, such people are only a minority in the vast desert, not even leaving a shadow in the sand sea.
In addition to hunters and merchants dressed in ordinary clothes, he also saw many soldiers in guard uniforms.Some soldiers had serious wounds on their bodies, indicating that a serious fight must have taken place before they died.
This storm made Xu Jiu collect a lot of cloth, gems, gold and silverware, and many daily necessities, such as raw body fluid stone, stone core powder and the like.He also collected a lot of weapons. The smelting industry in this continent is well developed, and the cold weapons made are of excellent performance.Moreover, the rich are extravagant, and those with a little bit of status decorate their belongings with sparkles, and the scabbard is almost completely covered with gems of various colors.
He picked up all the way, and when he picked them up, he sorted them into the space, and in the end he collected all the things in a room.
On this day, he found another person.The man was also wearing a soldier's uniform, and fell in a shallow sandy nest, half of his body was buried, his body was curled up, exposing one foot and half of his head.
As usual, Xu Jiu thought it was a dead person, but he still used a small shovel to remove the sand from the person's body.It didn't matter if he pulled it out, he found that although the person was motionless, his face was flushed and his joints were abnormally soft, he might be a living person!
He was immediately agitated, and immediately pulled this person out, and put his hand under the opponent's breath——
Although the nostrils were full of yellow sand, although the strong wind was still fierce, Xu Jiu still firmly believed that he could feel the faint breath of this person.As if to be sure, he cut another small incision on the man's finger, and soon a smear of red oozes out.
Really found a living person!
But the condition of this living person is very bad. The symptoms of water shortage are obvious, and he was buried in the sand for a while, causing his face to be red and white, as if his life was hanging by a thread.Immediately Xu Jiu picked up the person on his back, quickly ran to the back of a large sand dune nearby, settled the person there, and immediately dodged into the space.
Filled a whole bag of spiritual water with the skin bag he picked up, then pried the man's teeth to feed the water, and sprinkled the rest on his body and limbs to cool the man down.Lingshui is a kind of elixir, as long as Xu Jiu feeds it, he doesn't worry about the effect.He or this person lay on the ground and went back to the space again.
Packed a decent package in the space, and fabricated an identity for myself.However, this identity is very difficult to fabricate, because he has a scar on the side of his face and neck. Although the wound is not so ferocious after being nourished by spiritual water, it is difficult to say that he is a rich man or something.He picked up some ID badges along the way, and after comparing them for a while, he picked out the ID badge of a merchant's housekeeper.The big butler who accompanied the young master to Dutu Manor to ship goods, but the crowd was scattered due to a sandstorm on the way.
Fortunately, he has been running around these days, looking down and out. After being scorched by the sun for so many days, the exposed skin exploded layer after layer. Although the spiritual water can recover, he doesn't care much about it as a man.
After fabricating the identity and packing the package, he scooped up water and drank it, then filled two more bags, and carried it out of the space.
The person outside was still in a coma, Xu Jiu and Shui fed him a pill, then sat aside and dozed off, waiting for the person to wake up.
……
There was a faint movement at the foot, Xu Jiu's sleepiness was only half closed, and he raised his eyes tiredly to look at the person at the foot.The man started to moan after waking up, as if he didn't understand the situation, he looked at Xu Jiu bit by bit with a dazed and surprised expression.
Seeing that he was still watching for a long time, as if he wanted to see the end of the world, Xu Jiu was not happy, and kicked him: "Are you awake?"
As soon as the man heard him speak, he immediately reacted, and then swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "Water..."
People on the verge of death due to lack of water in the desert will suffer from dehydration, just like Xu Jiu knows that he has fed this person a lot of water, but the first feeling of this person is still extremely lacking.Xu Jiu gave him his water bag, and the man tremblingly grasped it tightly, as if grabbing his own life with extreme force, twisted the lid many times before unscrewing it, and carefully sent the water bag to his mouth.
"Gudong Gudong Gudong..." The swallowing sound was urgent, the man's mouth overflowed a lot, and he was eager to avoid the water from leaking out, so he drank even more urgently, then choked and coughed until he was dizzy.
Xu Jiu silently closed the lid of the water bag.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The water choked into the throat, and the man coughed in pain, curling up into a ball.
Xu Jiu and the others just coughed and continued to doze off with their eyes closed.
"May I ask what your benefactor's name is?" The man's voice was weak, but his tone was soft and standard, indicating that he had received a special education.But Xu Jiu didn't catch a cold at all, he was stimulated by the word "benefactor", and felt a chill in his heart.
Xu Jiu answered according to the name on the ID card: "Beide."
"Lord Bede."
"I dare not, I'm just a servant." Xu Jiu rejected the title, "Are you feeling better?"
"No... I don't feel it..." the man murmured.He drank water, but his body was still chaotic and paralyzed, making him unable to tell whether he was good or bad.
"It doesn't matter, it will be fine after a while, you are really short of water." Xu Jiu let him hold the water bag, "Are you hungry?"
It’s okay if he doesn’t say anything, but when he said that, the man felt his stomach cramping, as if the awakening button was suddenly triggered, he twitched in pain——
"hungry."
It looked like he was going to die the next moment.
Xu Jiu took out a piece of milk biscuit from the package and gave it to him: "There are not many things, so save some food."
The man didn't expect Xu Jiu to be so kind, to give him water and food, you must know that these things are equal to life in the desert, just like giving life to others.
Seeing the gratitude in his eyes, Xu Jiu still looked lazily: "If you look at me like this, I have a purpose in saving you."
The man gulped down the milk pancakes, and after a small piece of pancake was choked, he drank a sip of water before stopping.The water source in the desert is rare. Originally half of the water bag was drunk by this man after waking up. He cherished the rest very much. Even if he choked, he only took a small sip. .
Xu Jiu took back the water bag silently.
The man followed his hands all the way to the burden.
"Don't make any crooked ideas, you can't beat me." Xu Jiu only wanted to get out of the desert, and he was not willing to make friends with this person. He also said in a very cold tone, "Think about how you can get out of the desert."
"That, benefactor..."
"Bed."
"Okay, Bede. You misunderstood me, you saved my life, how could I give you a wrong idea..."
"It doesn't matter. You haven't eaten or drank yourself, so it's normal to think about my things, so let's talk about it."
His old-fashioned tone made the man look at him in surprise several times.
"You say."
"I don't have much water and food, and I am in a hurry to get out of the desert. You take me out, and I will take care of your diet."
It sounded like a very kind proposal. This person asked himself, but he would definitely not be able to do it the other way around.But the problem is: "...But Bede, I don't know the way either."
Xu Jiu's relaxed expression immediately changed, he was a little depressed, although he knew that this person might not know how to go this way, but he was really sure, but he was still disappointed.
His expression was undisguised, which made the man extremely uneasy: "Bede, although I don't know the way, I can still recognize familiar places when I encounter them, and I can watch the stars. At night, we will follow the stars. Always get out."
Xu Jiu knew that this person was anxious to prove himself, and was afraid that he would leave him behind.He didn't mean to lose this person, since he saved it, he would save it to the end, but in his heart, it was just a small effort, he was not interested in this person at all, and he would immediately break up when he went out.
"Well. Then find your own way."
"No, benefactor, I am very accurate at stargazing, and I will definitely find a way out! You just need to take me out, my family is rich, and I will not treat you poorly!" He said excitedly, subconsciously grasping the water Looking at Xu Jiu's expression eagerly and sincerely.
Xu Jiu also realized that his words were ambiguous, so he had to repeat: "Let's find the way together. We can't do it alone, maybe we can't get out after the food is finished. We have a higher possibility of finding the exit together."
This is to show that he will not be left behind.
The man was relieved, but in a blink of an eye he was worried again.He definitely didn't want to die. The experience of almost dying due to lack of water in the desert left him with lingering fears. No matter what, he didn't want to try this feeling again.However, the people in front of him were lukewarm to him, and besides, in the desert, everyone wanted to protect themselves, even if this Bede had a good heart and was really dead, would this person sacrifice himself to help others?
It's the biggest joke in the world.
The man secretly paid attention and cheered up to look around.If there was really only one way to go, he knew he would take it without hesitation.Yes, live, everything is for living.
Xu Jiu remained silent, leaning on the sandy slope to catch up on sleep.He is not interested in what this person thinks, and now he just wants to get out.It's enough to stay in the desert, even if you can't get out, it's good to have a living thing beside you.
"My name is Jin." Another person said.
Xu Jiu murmured disinterestedly, indicating that he heard it.
It is extremely unwise to talk too much in the desert, because every time you open your mouth, you can feel the moisture in your mouth being evaporated instantly, and your throat is dry, painful and hoarse, which is very uncomfortable.After Jin said his name, he was already extremely reluctant, but the person in front of him was not interested at all, as if he had made up his mind to treat him as a stranger.
However, he can treat himself as a stranger, and he will definitely deepen his relationship with the other party; he gives himself a cold face, and he must never return the cold face.After all, it is food and clothing that parents should not offend!
This person was originally a mindful person, he stopped talking and only kept calculating in his heart.
☆, 108|6.1.6.20
With one more traveler, Xu Jiu's chances of running amok are greatly reduced.
Jin has a very clear understanding of the destination. He told Xu Jiu that the nearest small town on the other side of the desert is called Yegu, which is famous for its rich black oil and is one of the financial pillars of Fengyuan Territory.
Fengyuan Territory and Du Tuxuan Shuang's Territory are separated by a large desert. This side of the desert is arid for many years, and it is hard to grow any grass. The other side of the desert is rich in products, and even native plants grow.The Fengyuan Territory is a place blessed by nature. The population is concentrated in the south of the territory, and the population in the north is small. The most populated are desperadoes and gold miners.The lord of the Fengyuan territory is also the Dutu royal family, and it is said that they are close relatives.
As Jin spoke, Xu Jiu listened. Of course, the two of them did not communicate most of the time.The water sac that Jin was holding at the beginning had been drained, Xu Jiu gave him another bag, and bluntly said that it was the last time to give him water, and there would be nothing left after drinking it.He didn't hide his secrets, and it was fair for the two of them to share a bag of water.When he was talking to Jin, it was obvious that the man was very surprised. He didn't know whether he was surprised or moved, and he held onto Xu Jiu's hand tightly.
"Your water is really delicious, better than the best Qionglu." Jin sipped the water, moistened his throat, and took another sip carefully.
Xu Jiu was dazed by the sun, and kept silent as usual, without saying a word.
"Every time I drink this water, I feel a coolness spread from my heart to my limbs. I feel lazy and want to teach someone to sleep."
The water in the sac is spiritual water, which not only tastes good, but also has medicinal effects. After drinking it, the weakness of the whole body seems to disappear, even the pain caused by long-term exposure to the sun and walking is gone.These Tianjings kept praising the water, and there was no lack of temptation in their words.
However, Xu Jiu always said one thing: "You are thirsty to realize that this water is different, it is just water."
"Then Bede, where did you get your water? When we go out, I will find someone to buy this water vein."
Xu Jiu didn't give a single look, and said in a blow, "We'll talk about it when we get out."
Jin was immediately dejected.
Xu Jiu was leading the way when he suddenly stepped on another hard object.He made a pause gesture to the back, took a step back, and carefully pushed aside the shaft post he had picked up.
Underneath is a sanda beast, with its mouth wide open, frozen in the sand nest, its eyes staring.Xu Jiu pushed all the sand off its body and looked at it carefully.
Jin also leaned over, and soon had the same doubts as Xu Jiu: "This is not long since he died."
Xu Jiu nodded: "Yes."
The desert is hot, and the living things start to stink the day after they die, with maggots growing on their bodies, and the smell wafts for miles against the wind.However, the one in front of them was still fresh, with no signs of bleeding.Xu Jiu grabbed the beast's leg and together with Jin turned the Shata beast down.
A large piece of meat was cut off from the back of the Shata Beast, its internal organs bloody seeped into the sand, and its heart was shattered, which is a typical one-shot death.
When Jin saw the wound, his face suddenly turned pale: "This, is this a Sand Bandit?"
"What bandits?"
Jin was short of breath: "Sand bandits are a group of evil bandits in Fengyuan. They act rampantly and seriously endanger the security of the territory. Everyone can punish them..."
"Speak the key."
"They are good at using the hook blade, which is an eight-clawed hook in front of the long hook. When it stabs a person hard, it will pull out the entire stomach."
"Is there no one to suppress the bandits?"
"Of course there are people! Otherwise these sergeants wouldn't have died! The bandits are too rampant! Hateful!"
Xu Jiu thought of something, and said lightly: "The bandits are rampant. In the final analysis, it is not good for the lord of this place to rule."
Jin blushed and wanted to tell the difference. After a while, he said: "How many people's interests will be involved in every move of the lord! It is a net, and parents, children and clan members are all in it, so how can it be easily moved! It's not Du Tu Xuanshuang is not stingy, has no wife and no children, and his parents and family members don't pay attention to him."
Xu Jiu: "..."
Seeing his complexion changing again and again, Jin said awkwardly, "I forgot that you came from Dutu Manor."
Xu Jiu's forehead twitched. I don't know if it was because of Du Tuxuan, or because this person scolded him, and he felt very depressed.
"Are you mad, Bede?"
Xu Jiu was brought back to his senses by his shouting, and gave the man a vicious look, Jin was startled by him.
Seeing his alert look, Xu Jiu realized that he had lost his composure, and moved his lips: "I'm fine."
However, his gaffe really makes people fantasize about it. Jin thinks about the reason for his gaffe, is it because he scolded Sand Bandits, or Du Tuxuan Shuang?If it was the latter, Jin asked himself why he reacted so much without saying anything?
former?
A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind, and Jin stared at Xu Jiu's neck in horror.After several days of driving in the desert, the disguise on this man's neck had already been blown out of his true colors by the wind and sand, but he only saw it now!How can ordinary people get hurt there? This is obviously a trace of torture!Is he in the same group as Sand Bandits?
Xu Jiu didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at by a person, but he didn't take it too seriously. It didn't matter what the person behind him was to him. After walking out of the desert, it didn't matter if everyone broke up.And he knew that his reaction just now was a bit too much, but he didn't bother to explain, so he simply remained silent to the end.
The two walked forward as usual.
Since encountering the Shata Beast, more and more corpses have been found on the road, some with sergeant uniforms, some with bare backs and only pants, obviously from two camps.Most of the sergeants had their heads smashed by heavy weapons, and their abdomens were hooked out, and the reckless men were all killed by swords and guns.
A large number of corpses made this sea of sand exude a disgusting smell. The wind and sand piled up on them, and then blown away, layer by layer soaked in blood, black and red.The two shuttled through it, their expressions pale.
"Since there will be a battle here, it means that we have reached the border of the desert." It's just that there is still sand at a glance, and I'm afraid there is still a long way to go.
Jin shook his head: "I don't know, how could I be here..."
His voice was very soft, coupled with the loud wind and sand, Xu Jiu couldn't hear clearly: "What?"
"Nothing, let's move on."
What is necessary when walking forward is: "These corpses are so fresh, which means that the time of the killing was yesterday afternoon at the latest. I don't know if those people are still nearby."
When he said this, Jin was also shocked, and looked at Xu Jiu: "You, what do you think?"
We have already come here, the exit is just ahead, we must move forward no matter what.Xu Jiu didn't even think about it: "Let's go out along the corpse."
"..." Jin silently followed him.
The dead bodies on the road made both of them uncomfortable, and the atmosphere was unusually silent.The sand under my feet is no longer as dry as before, and it always feels sticky when I step on it, making my scalp tingle.
The dry food was not enough a few days ago, the jerky was as dry as a stone, and I could barely eat it before, but now I don't even have the desire to eat.Xu Jiu's stomach ached from hunger, he tightened his belt silently, and took a few sips of water.
"We can't go wrong, right?" the person behind asked.
"probably not."
Xu Jiu was also not sure. If the route was correct, why did they not arrive after walking for so long?There were fewer corpses on the road, but there was still an endless desert ahead.
"Find a clean place, let's rest for a while." He said to the people behind him.
Jin is also tired enough: "Okay."
So the two walked for a while, and sat down in a leeward sand nest.The two were so tired that neither of them spoke, one drank water by himself, and the other chewed the jerky with great effort.
While they were busy with each other, suddenly a burst of sand poured on the two of them.The two were attacked violently, and jumped away at the same time, when they heard a muffled voice from above the sand nest: "Grandma Rita, how are you doing! Are there any bandits up there?"
Although the voice was deliberately lowered, the two could still hear it clearly. Xu Jiu hurriedly grabbed the person next to him and lay down on the ground.
What followed was the sound of an opening, and the sound of another person speaking.The voice was no longer muffled, it protruded from the ground, and opened into the air carelessly: "There are no bandits, huh?!"
Oops, found out!
☆, 109|6.1.6.20
The six eyes are opposite.
Xu Jiu and Jin confronted the man sticking his head out of the hole.
It was a very strong, square-faced man, and he was about to jump out in just a moment: "Who is there!"
There was a naked murderous look in the man's eyes from time to time, making him extremely terrified.And in his hand is a strange round wheel, with thick iron chains wrapped around his arms.Met sand/bandit!
When the man threw that disk at them, they were no different from any other corpse in the desert!
Xu Jiu pulled a piece of brocade, and the two quickly ran to the side of the cave, and before the man came out, one of them took an iron rod for picking up the corpse and knocked on it!
The half body of the man was still in the hole, and the kung fu of the hook blade could not be fully used. Xu Jiu and the others were really fast, dodging the hook blade that hit them, and rushed forward.The man didn't expect the two to be so bold, and when he was caught off guard, he was hit hard on the head a few times and was knocked into the hole by the two of them.
There was a lot of noise in the cave, and there were many people listening to the sound!
"who!"
"There's someone up there!"
The noisy sound was just under their feet, and the two desperately pushed the sand into the hole, covering their heads and faces, and sprinkled it down, and soon someone was blinded and began to curse viciously.Seeing a hook blade coming up from the hole again, Xu Jiu pulled Jin aside, and didn't care that the hook blade was about to hit the person, quickly took out a few bottles of drugs and poison, and poured them into the hole like he didn't want money, pouring them while pouring them. Keep pushing sand into the hole—
"Ahem, what are you, dizzy..." Jin also choked on the sand, and slowed down the movement of pouring sand, his eyes were filled with stars.
Xu Jiu threw him another bottle: "Pour out one and eat!"
Jin duo pulled off the bottle cap tremblingly, took the medicine, and looked at Xu Jiu: "Are you taking it?"
Xu Jiu was also dizzy. Although he prepared the medicine, he really didn't have the ability to be invulnerable to all poisons, but he also guarded against the medicine not being successful and harming himself. He has been taking the antidote one after another these days. Therefore, the symptoms are much lighter than Jin.
Xu Jiu opened his mouth to signal Jin to feed him the medicine.
There were only a few antidotes in the bottle, and after feeding Xu Jiu, Jin worried about eating all of them.
In this way, the sand mixed with poison was continuously pushed into the hole. Even though the people inside were extremely strong, there was gradually no movement below.
Jin took a stick and probed downwards. When the stick touched the jade bi, it made a crisp sound: "There is no movement, are they all dead?"
Xu Jiu shook his head: "It's just fainted by poison, not dead yet."
Jin was very excited: "Why don't you kill them!"
Xu Jiu didn't say a word.
Jin was in a hurry: "We have to kill them, that person has seen us! Once we are entangled by sand bandits, we will not be able to survive in this life!"
"But I can't be sure that they are sand bandits."
"Didn't you see this hook blade!" Jin pointed to the hook blade beside him, which almost smashed his head just now, "This is the Sand Bandit!"
Xu Jiu looked at the blood-stained roulette beside him, and there were pieces of flesh on it, exuding a stench that smelled like iron.He actually knew that the people below were sand bandits without a doubt, but killing/people...
He doesn't think he is kind, the reason why there are so many medicines in the bag is because he is also wary of Jin, even if the people around him have not done anything against him, he is still deeply guarded.But there is no killing drug in these medicines.
He didn't think he would kill/people.
Xu Jiu stood up: "Look at the hole first, wait for me for a while."
Xu Jiu carried the bag and ran to another back slope with Jin's eyes tearing apart, entered the space and quickly dispensed a large bottle of medicine, then climbed up the slope and handed it to Jin: "Hua Gu Shui."
This name is very rare, Kam has never heard of it.Can't help asking: "What?"
"This potion will strongly corrode flesh and blood. Once a person touches it, it will quickly turn into a puddle of blood. Where the blood flows, everything will be completely wiped away."
Xu Jiu explained coldly with a stern face, took back the bone melting water, and carefully dripped a drop on the hook blade——
sizzle-
A big hole was corroded in the middle of the hook blade at a speed visible to the naked eye!The hole continues to grow—
Jin was dumbfounded.
Xu Jiu pushed the hook blade into the hole, and then poured the whole bottle of bone-melting water into it.Then he closed the cork and squeezed the vial in his hand.
And Jin looked at him with the eyes of a monster the whole time, seeing that he was holding the medicine bottle in his hand, he stared at the medicine bottle in a daze.
The medicinal material in this bottle was obtained by Xu Jiu from the witch doctor family. It is made of bluestone core and refined chalcedony, which can restrain the bone water.
Xu Jiu was in a bad mood, and the evil he saw came from his guts: "Why, are you interested?"
Jin's first reaction was to shake his head, but he didn't move when he shook his head halfway, looking very conflicted.
"Let's go." Xu Jiu looked around, stood up first and walked forward, "Leave this place quickly."
Jin immediately got up and followed him.
"Well, Bede... where did you get these things from?"
The two walked in silence for a long time, but the people behind them couldn't help it anymore.
Xu Jiu didn't say a word.
Jin refused and didn't dare to ask again, but still followed him step by step.
The two couldn't figure out the direction, so they chose a place away from the corpses and walked quickly.Xu Jiu was in a bad mood. At the beginning, he handed the medicine bottle to Jin, probably intending to use the other party's hand to kill someone, just like a gentleman who cooks far away. Of course, other people do these jobs best.However, no matter how whitewashed it is, this crime was also caused by him, so why set up a memorial archway?
Xu Jiu is indeed not a good person.
I don't know how much blood was stained on these hands.
Usually when he sees Du Tuxuan's double killing/people, he still can't bear to think that it's nothing to do with him, but when it's his turn, he suddenly understands why Du Tuxuan's heart is so cold and hard.Probably like him at this moment, people who really kill people probably don't care too much about their children.
"Let's take a break..." Jin Zao couldn't keep up, seeing that the people in front were still walking like the wind, he couldn't help but begged.
Xu Jiu stopped belatedly, his legs swayed and fell on the sand, he rubbed his calf, and sat down on the ground without making a sound.
There is nothing but sand around, and the exit is still nowhere to be found.They originally thought they could find the exit along the place where there were many corpses, but they accidentally stumbled into the bandit's cave. They had no choice but to flee in other directions.However, their energy has been overdrawn by the running around these days, and now they have no strength to sit down, and even envy the corpse lying on the ground.
Xu Jiu took another sip of water.
Jin was still sipping, his water was running out.
"It's dusk again." Both of them were a little depressed.
"Going a little further, we have to go out of this distance. Otherwise, if an accomplice chases us out..."
Jin Wenyan turned pale, licked his chapped lips, and stood up staggeringly: "Let's go."
For the first time in so many days in the desert, they hurried on their way, or escaped for their lives.Since Jin saw him kill the bandit, he overturned his previous speculation that this person was an accomplice of the bandit, but added a new layer of fear.
Over the past few days, he has been trying to cultivate a "revolutionary friendship" with this person, but unfortunately, this person is reticent. Although he is silent, he will not be soft when he is provoked.Jin didn't touch the other party's package, food and water were split between him and him from the very beginning, he never knew that the other party's bag contained so much poison!
Who the hell would carry a load of poison on the road!
Fortunately, I didn't grab food from him!
These days Jin's food and water are gradually decreasing, it's not that he hasn't thought of robbing the other party.Seeing this person's weak appearance, he was sure that the other party was not his opponent.The reason why he didn't do anything, apart from the fact that he couldn't get out alone in the desert, and he still had a little integrity, was because this person's aura was very strange.
He is obviously weak, but he always looks unpredictable when he keeps a straight face.
In other words, Xu Jiu has been on Jin's "to be watched" list.I suspected that he was a hidden sand bandit before, but now I suspect that this person's companion must have been poisoned/dead by him!
Thinking of this, a bunch of goosebumps appeared on Jin's body. Looking at the small package in front of him, he decided to be honest and save his life.
What Xu Jiu didn't know was that while they were on their way, the people behind him used him as a prototype and made up a bunch of horrific and bloody incidents in their brains. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, and they looked at him with fear and surprise in their eyes.
After the sun went down, the temperature dropped rapidly.The air was very cold, and the sand under our feet still had a strong heat. The hot and cold transpiration made the whole person extremely uncomfortable, and the smoke gradually filled the field of vision.
Both of them were exhausted, their feet were so heavy that they couldn't even climb.
"Just stay here overnight." Xu Jiu found a leeward slope and took out the thick clothes in the package.
