In the center of Gusha Town, there is the largest water source in the whole town, a bottomless old well, there are a total of five wells in the whole town, and this well in the center of the town is the largest, listen to the old man, this well is related to the survival of Gusha Town, the well is in the town, and the well is not dead.

The most important thing to bring enough water to enter the desert is to go to the Absolute Dragon Valley for about ten days, so he has to bring enough water for twenty days.

"Old Liangtou. Xiaobai said hello to the old man sitting by the well.

Lao Liangtou is an old man in Gusha Town, with a gray and yellow face, wrinkled like the bark of a big-leaved oak tree, full of ditches, he used to be a desert corpse picker, but now he is old, his physical strength is not exhausted, and he can't enter the desert, so he goes to the town to guard this old well.

"Xiao'er, how long will it take to enter the desert this time. Lao Liangtou said.

"About twenty days. Yang Xiao handed over a tael of gold, "Add one more, and a guest will go with me." ”

The people in the town did not need money to get water, and one or two gold of water was bought for the "butcher", and the money was also used for the "butcher's" deposit.

There is a lot of water in Gusha Town, but outsiders don't know that in this place where water is life, the price is naturally high...... A few.

Lao Liang's head hit the water of two large water bladders, don't look at his age, but his strength is not small, and the rope of hundreds of meters was pulled up by him without wasting his strength.

Handing over the water bladder, Lao Liangtou asked casually, "Where are you going this time?"

Xiao Bai fell silent, the people in the town had a kind of fear of the Absolute Dragon Valley, if he knew that he was going to the Absolute Dragon Valley, he might not be able to say something.

He said, "Go to the east and find someone." ”

After speaking, he took the water bladder, Lao Liangtou is a wise old man, if he asks, I am afraid that he will reveal flaws.

The houses in Gusha Town are very close, between the two houses, there are only enough for two people to walk side by side, and there are more than 100 households in the town, and it is easy for outsiders to get lost in the town.

The town was like a labyrinth, so naturally it was not difficult for him, after all, he had lived there for eighteen years.

"After turning this corner, it's there. Yang Xiao muttered when he saw Aunt Lu's noodle restaurant.

Passing by the noodle restaurant and taking a look, it was already past the meal, the noodle restaurant was closed, and he was afraid of disturbing Aunt Lu's rest, so he didn't go in.

Bang!

Yang Xiao felt hit by a person, his body shook, protected the water bladder, stabilized his center of gravity, and took two steps back before standing firmly.

Looking up, it was a young man with a pockmarked face who hit him, and said slightly angrily: "Gu Lian, what are you doing?"

Gu Lian bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry Brother Yang, it's not enough to eat, my mother called me home for dinner, and I was in a bit of a hurry." ”

After speaking, Gu Lian ran away like the wind, and looked at the direction that it was indeed his house.

"Quirky. Yang Xiao looked at Gu Lian's back, his eyes narrowed slightly for a while, he remembered that he had just seen him in the noodle shop, and his eyes fell on the water bladder, could it be that he wanted to knock over the water bladder.

Shaking his head, the water bladder didn't fall to the ground, so he didn't care.

The "butcher" was still waiting for him at home, this was a financier, he could not afford to offend, and walked home.

Just after he left, Gu Lian, who was hiding in the corner, looked at the back of him leaving, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Walking to the door of the house and pushing open the door, Yang Xiao threw a water bladder to the "butcher" and said, "This is your water." ”

He regretted it after throwing it, and if he didn't catch it, he wouldn't have to pay for the "butcher" to buy water.

To his surprise, as soon as the man held it in his hand, the water bladder fell into his hand, as if the water bladder had flown into his hand.

Go into the house, take out enough dry food from the cellar, and then go back to your room and remove the rope from the wall and pin it to your waist.

The rope is the symbol of the desert corpse picker, which is made of jute and cow tendon, and after being successfully made, it can be soaked in corpse gas for 20 years, and can bind the ghost and the living corpse.

Of course, I don't know if he can be tied up, because I haven't seen it, and every desert corpse picker carries it on his body to seek peace of mind, and secondly, to drag the corpse and reduce the time of the return trip.

After taking two coats and coming to the courtyard, the "butcher" closed his eyes and leaned against the dirt wall.

"Let's go. Throwing half of the dry food and a coat to the man, he walked out of the yard and said as he walked: "I've known each other for so long, and I don't know your name yet." ”

The "butcher" was silent for a while, put the coat on the chair next to him, and originally wanted to put the dry food on it, but after thinking about it, he stuffed it into his chest, followed behind Yang Xiao and said, "Butcher, I like it when people call me by this name." ”

Xiaobai smiled, as long as a pig killer in the world can be called a butcher, but no one will ever say that he is called a butcher.

Shaking his head, weirdos and weird personalities.

The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.

The endless desert, empty and lofty, everywhere in sight is yellow sand, Yang Xiao used two face towels, covered his mouth and nose with one of them, and handed the other to the butcher, who shook his head and did not take it.

Yang Xiao chuckled, took back the face towel, and led the way in front, not now, when the butcher couldn't stand it, he would beg him.

A round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson, and the desert waves supporting the setting sun are frozen, like a sleeping sea.

Found the earthen cave built by the predecessors, the two lived in it, the desert night is very cold, but there is dry firewood in the earthen cave, enough for the two to keep warm.

"I keep vigil in the first half of the night, and you come in the second half of the night. Yang Xiao said that the night in the desert is very dangerous, and once the wind and sand hit, they will be buried.

The butcher sat cross-legged on the ground, half-opened his eyes and said, "No need, the wind and sand are coming, I will wake you up." ”

The butcher closed his eyes and did not speak.

Yang Xiao frowned, if he hadn't bid too high, he would have left a long time ago.

With your eyes closed, how can you know that the wind and sand are coming.

I don't even know that the wind and sand have buried him.

Sitting at the mouth of the earthen cave, clasping his hands on his chest, leaning on the edge of the cave, looking out with his eyes half-open, the butcher did not worry about his own safety, he cared about his own life.

Turning his head to look at the butcher, he was still on his knees on the ground, his heart facing the sky.

He said, "Are you cultivating like this?"

It's hard for ordinary people to hold on for half an hour, but the butcher has been holding on for an hour, it's really unbelievable, and he looks like the cultivation on the earth.

The butcher frowned, his face was a little displeased, and said, "Calm down, keep in shape, and fight with a very strong opponent in a few days." ”

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, could it be that the butcher went to the Absolute Dragon Valley to fight with someone, but there were only corpses there, no, he had never entered the Absolute Dragon Valley, and he didn't know what was inside, but there might be people in that kind of place?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the easier it is to get sleepy if I think too much, and I don't fall asleep for a while, and I forget the purpose of the morning.

The wind at night was getting stronger and stronger, and gradually the wind hit his face with yellow sand, and when he opened his eyes, a huge tornado was blowing in the distance.

"The wind and sand are coming. Yang Xiao suddenly shouted, ran out of the hole, didn't run two steps, and walked back.

It's calm outside, how can there be wind and sand, think back, he thought too much last night and had a nightmare.

Looking at the butcher in the cave, he just opened his eyes, and Yang Xiao felt two rays of light shoot out of the butcher's eyes, which frightened him to retreat again and again and fall to the ground.

"It's okay. A hand stretched out, Yang Xiao came back to his senses, got up from the ground, and looked at the butcher again, with black and white eyes, just like ordinary people.

"Is it a delusion? In the yellow sand, Yang Xiao whispered, the morning scene always appeared in his mind, and he looked at the butcher behind him from time to time, except for the wound on his chest that was wrapped in a white cloth, he was an ordinary person.

Trekking in the desert is a very dangerous task, not only to worry about the wind that can hit at any time, but also to guard against jackals.

Originally, there were no jackals in the desert, but since the news of the real dragon came out of the desert, there were many people who came here, and many people did not have the ability to survive in the desert, leaving their lives here, and over time, these beasts that feed on corpses attracted them.

Yang Xiao rubbed the tip of his nose, took a hard breath of air with yellow sand, turned around and said, "Wait here for a while, and come back immediately." ”

He had only taken a few steps when he turned around, and as the butcher had followed, he frowned, and let the butcher follow, walking off into the distance.

Through the breath of the wind just now, he smelled the smell of corpses nearby, the smell of corpses was a little strong, he was about two months dead, it was an accident to meet a corpse, but it was a good accident, for him, he made an extra profit, and it was possible that he could not earn anything.

Following the smell of corpses, Yang Xiao found a place where there were sand dunes on both sides, forming a valley in the middle, and the smell of corpses he smelled was emanating from the valley.

The body was buried in the yellow sand, and if others would not have found it, it took Yang Xiao an hour to dig the body out of the yellow sand.

The strong smell of corpses came to his face, the owner of the corpse was wearing a black robe, his whole body was rotting, he couldn't tell how old he was, there was a water bladder at hand, but there was no water in it, it seemed that he was lost in the desert, and he died in the desert after drinking the water source.

Yang Xiao took off the rope that tied the corpse and tied the hands and feet of the corpse, the rope was very long, and there was still a section left after the tie, which allowed him to drag the corpse to walk.

"What are you doing here?" the butcher came behind him, the butcher was one and a half times the size of a normal person, but it was not bloated, through his clothes, you could still see his strong muscles, standing behind him, just to block out the sun.

Yang Xiao glanced back, turned his head, and was busy with himself, explaining as he busied: "There are many unjust souls in the desert, the corpse rope in my hand was handed down by my ancestors, and it was specially used to deal with this kind of thing.

Tie the hands and feet of the corpse, even if the corpse mutates or has an evil spirit, it cannot do evil.

The butcher muttered to himself, "I've heard of the Yin Soul and the Living Corpse, and even seen the Yin Soul in it, but you can also control it by borrowing mortal things?"

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "Aren't you mortal?"

The butcher frowned, did not speak, but looked at him with his flat eyes.

Yang Xiao's laughter became lower and lower, and finally he laughed awkwardly twice, concentrating on fiddling with his corpse.
