Chapter 18: Beasts Are Inferior (117/429)
The morning sun had just sprinkled on the endless yellow sand on the east side of Suzhou City, and horses and camels galloped out of the city gate.
Xu Buling rode four hooves of snow-white chasing the wind and snow, the horse's hair was black and shiny, and the hook on the side of the horse hung a weapon, which was longer than the ordinary ash pole and a large gun, and was wrapped in a waterproof black cloth.
Zhong Li Chuchu changed back into a red gauze skirt, her hair was wrapped in a turban, and she sat on a white camel sideways, deliberately paying attention to her appearance and demeanor, and her figure and temperament attracted the attention of many pedestrians.
After seeing the eyes of those stinky men, Zhong Li Chuchu was finally a little relieved - these days, she didn't care about Ai Li, she wondered if she had become ugly, it seems that she hasn't changed at present, Xu Buling must be an elm pimple, so she won't react at all......
Zhongli Chuchu looked at Xu Buling, who was walking in front, and only thought that he was going to a certain Zhuangzi outside the city to look for a jade pendant, but he didn't take it to heart, and kept thinking about how to attract the attention of this wooden man.
The two rode their mounts outside the city, and soon approached the edge of the desert, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around.
Zhongli Chuchu thought for a long time, and suddenly had an idea, sat on the camel and began to hum a minor tune from the Western Regions.
"Hmm~~......"
The melody is tactful, light and moving, like a clear spring suddenly appearing in the desert.
The red veil on his body gently flutters with the never-ending wind and sand, and his green eyes have a bit of laziness to see through the world, which is beautiful and has the taste of an exotic beauty.
Under such a hard hookup, the wood in front of him finally reacted a little.
Xu Buling glanced back, smiled a little, and didn't bother, after all, it was a rare pleasure to hear such a song in the desert.
The outline of Suzhou City gradually disappeared, the sea of sand on all sides was not boundless, and the scorching sun in the sky rose to the sky, and then fell from the sky, turning into a round of red sun at the end of the sea of sand.
Zhongli Chuchu hummed like this for a day, the wood in front of him never turned his head again, his voice was almost hoarse, he was thirsty and hungry, he gradually became annoyed, stopped humming and looked left and right:
"Where are you taking me?"
"Go find the jade pendant, there is a ruin in front of you, camp there and rest for the night, and then hurry tomorrow."
??
Zhongli Chuchu was inexplicable, she had been to Suzhou for the first time since she could remember, and she didn't know where this deserted place was, so she was a little wary in her heart at the moment.
He wouldn't want to sell me, would he......
Thinking of this, Zhongli Chuchu felt that he was thinking too much, the son of a prince, running so far to sell a girl, he was so idle that he couldn't panic.
Are you trying to take me to the middle of nowhere......
It's impossible, his high-ranking martial arts are so good, no one dares to say anything if he handles me in Suzhou City, so he can't come here......
Zhongli Chuchu walked the rivers and lakes, naturally had a life-saving move, and after feeling that Xu Buling had no reason to do anything to her, he dispelled his guard and asked instead:
"Where is the jade pendant? How far away? ”
Xu Buling calculated: "For hundreds of miles, it will take about three or four days to walk." ”
Zhongli Chuchu couldn't tell where it was, so he didn't say anything more, and followed Xu Buling for another two miles, and came to a small green space in the desert.
There was a small lake between the green areas, and next to it were old houses, uninhabited and dilapidated, and the low walls had collapsed a few knots, which should have been a small village.
Zhongli Chuchu got off the camel on the shore of the lake, let the white camel eat grass and drink water by itself, took off the water bladder and walked to the entrance of the small village, but saw dozens of skulls piled up outside, most of which were buried by yellow sand, and there were many corpses at the entrance, all of which were broken limbs, none of which were intact.
Walking the rivers and lakes all year round, I must have seen corpses or something, but this kind of scene full of white bones can only be seen in the long-term battle. Zhongli Chuchu frowned, feeling a little crazy, and went around a pile of skulls to look inside:
"We stay here for the night? In the wilderness, there won't be ghosts, right? ”
Xu Buling took off his bag from chasing the wind, walked into the dilapidated village with a familiar car, and quipped:
"With me, ghosts don't dare to come, if Miss Zhongli is afraid, just live with me."
Zhongli Chuchu squinted slightly, but saw that Xu Buling's expression was calm and his eyes were straight, not teasing her, after thinking about it for a while, he followed into the cottage and said softly:
"Okay."
“……”
Xu Buling's footsteps were stunned, but he was confused, and he couldn't hear such an obvious teasing?
Seeing that Zhongli Chuchu seemed to trust him very much, Xu Buling didn't want to go too far, so he sat down in an earthen embryo house that could only block the wind, took out a blanket from the package and spread it on the ground, gathered the collapsed beams and broken wood together, lit them with flint, and lit a bonfire.
It was already slowly getting dark, Xu Buling took out the dry food he was carrying and handed it to Zhongli Chuchu:
"You are a girl's family, you go into the rivers and lakes alone, and you don't watch out when you meet a man, but you are quite bold."
Zhongli Chuchu sat on the blanket, took the dry food, and chuckled:
"Childe is a good person, I believe you."
Xu Buling picked up the wine gourd and took a sip: "If you believe me, you won't hide a sleeve arrow in your boots, always facing me, and there are a lot of poisonous needles hidden on your waist, and even a few poisonous needles are tied in your hair, so you are not afraid to prick yourself?" ”
Zhongli Chuchu's face stiffened, and he withdrew his feet slightly:
"I'm used to going to the rivers and lakes, don't misunderstand...... How do you know so clearly, though? ”
"The use of poison is the most inferior means, and there are basically no colorless and odorless poisons in the world, especially those that are highly toxic. Those who are strong in martial arts must have a keen sense of six, and you can smell the type of poison from a distance of a few feet. Even if you don't smell it, the sleeve arrows and silver needles can't hurt the master at all, and the poisonous smoke inside won't have much effect, unless it's a domineering poison like the Lock Dragon Gu, it can't hurt anyone. ”
Zhongli Chuchu was a little disbelieving, hesitated for a while, but still didn't dare to test, just chuckled:
"There are all kinds of methods of using poison, some sons can't imagine it at all, just look at how ruthless the person who uses poison is, anyway, if someone has bad intentions towards me, no matter how high the martial arts are, I am sure to get out of it."
Xu Buling was skeptical and had no comment on this.
There is only a night breeze on the desert, and there is no sound, which is a little eerie.
Zhongli Chuchu sat for a moment, looked at the white bones in the stockade, and asked curiously:
"What kind of place is this? How can there be so many white bones? If it was left behind by the war, someone should collect the body. ”
Xu Buling glanced at it: "I came here when I was sixteen years old, and I got lost at that time, and I came here to ask for directions, but the horse was too good, and I was surrounded, only to know that it was the nest of horse bandits." ”
Zhongli Chuchu had heard of the power of the desert horse bandits, and frowned:
"And then, how did you get out?"
Xu Buling raised his hand and pointed to the small Jingguan at the entrance of the village: "After the people were killed, they slept here for one night, and then rode out the next day." ”
“……”
Zhongli Chuchu was slightly stunned, and looked at the stockade as if it had been destroyed by war:
"You did it alone?"
"Didn't you hear from Mr. Storyteller?"
"Storytellers love to exaggerate and can't believe it...... I've also heard that you like to bully women, especially married women, is it true? ”
Xu Buling blinked: "Hmm...... This is nonsense. I heard that the girl came from South Vietnam, but she looks like someone from the Western Regions, why did she run so far? ”
"It's nothing, when I was a child, I was born in a small tribe outside the Saiwai, I met bandits, I was sold to South Vietnam, fortunately I met a master, and then I am now."
Xu Buling nodded: "The Venerable Master can find the way to crack the Lock Dragon Gu, and he is also a master when he thinks about it, so he must recommend one or two when he has the opportunity." ”
When Zhongli Chuchu heard this, he smiled faintly, did not answer, took a piece of wood from the corner of the wall and put it under the blanket, and lay down on his back:
"I ...... I slept. ”
Xu Buling smiled, didn't bother anymore, and closed his eyes and meditated around the campfire.
The desert yellow sand, there is no figure within a radius of dozens of miles, there is only a pair of men and women in the dilapidated small cottage, and the woman is still 'weak and can't help the wind', no matter how you look at it, something will happen.
Zhongli Chuchu closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his heart was actually a little entangled. I am afraid that Xu Buling is a well-dressed beast messing around with her, and I am afraid that Xu Buling might as well not mess around.
If she messes around, she can't beat Xu Buling and can get out of the way, but the family wealth accumulated over the years will definitely be gone.
But if you don't mess around, doesn't it mean that you don't have any thoughts about her?
Outcome......
This guy is really a mess of wood!
Could it be that she had to run to the lake to take a wild bath before she remembered that she was a woman?
Zhong Li Chuchu's heart was full of annoyance and frustration, she gritted her teeth, she still didn't dare to take a wild bath, and she became more and more curious in her heart, how did Ning Qingye's fox charm attract such a humble gentleman? What's worse than Ning Qingye?
The more I think about it, the more angry I get!
Zhongli Chuchu frowned and waited until the middle of the night, he couldn't help it, raised his hand and rubbed his arm, and whispered:
"Childe~ It's a little cold."
Soon, a robe was draped over her, with a little residual warmth.
Zhongli Chuchu blinked his eyes and looked back, the handsome boy in close-fitting white clothes was still sitting by the bonfire with his eyes closed......
