Chapter 1: The Mysterious Hanako
Thousands of miles of Gobi, the remnant sun is like blood.
A dusty caravan was resting beside a crescent-like spring, the clear waves of water reflecting everyone's chapped faces, and both men and animals were drinking from the sweet spring water and groaning from time to time.
Then.
A camel seemed to have drunk a lot, and it snorted with a 'boom', and the fishy saliva just sprayed the face of the young man drinking next to him. The latter spat heavily on the ground, almost throwing it up.
"! This beast stinks so fucking!! ”
"Doll!" Behind him, an old man with a dark complexion walked over with a straight face: "Every camel is a treasure given to us by the true god, don't you dare to talk nonsense!" ”
The old man's name was Hassan, and he was the guide of the whole caravan, and his face was like a rock that had been blown by the wind and sand for many years, and it was full of ravines, but his eyes, which were already somewhat cloudy, still flashed with the unique light of the desert people.
"Fuck you!"
The young man was dressed in a gorgeous costume and brought three rings with pigeon's blood red agate on his bare hands, and scolded Hassan:
"These beasts are all bought by the master, don't say a word of scolding it, even if you slaughter it, it won't be your turn to be nosy, let me get out!"
"What are you talking about?" Several young people dressed as aliens in the caravan suddenly stood up and shouted, "Central Plains boy! Don't think that if you have a few stinky money, it's amazing, without Uncle Hassan, you won't be able to get out of this Broken Soul Mountain in your life! ”
"That's it! Lao Tzu has been unhappy with you for a long time, and now apologize to Uncle Hassan immediately, otherwise Lao Tzu will kick your ditch now! ”
"Joke!" The young man waved his hand, and a few big men with knives immediately came over next to him, and the bright blades reflected the young man's sneer: "Look at how many years you haven't taken a bath, and your bodies stink worse than those beasts!" You are willing to go together, since you have said everything here, then break up and give the master as far as he goes! ”
"Okay!" An alien stretched out his hand: "Settle the money you owe!" ”
"Hey, hey!" The young man's eyes were full of sarcasm: "I haven't reached the destination yet, what kind of money do you make!" ”
"You!! You're a liar! ”
"That's a lot of fun!" The young man clasped his hands to his chest: "It's you barbarians who can't stand the scolding and want to leave, is it so easy for me to earn my money as a master!" ”
"You!!"
The barbarian men present are all masters who come and go straight on weekdays, where have they seen such a treacherous Central Plains people, one by one, they were so angry that they were about to draw their swords, when they heard the silent Hassan next to him suddenly sneered.
"Hehe, doll, I'm afraid that you will almost arrive in Xicheng before you heard us say it, so you moved this account to ......"
"Old thing!" The young man in Chinese costume twitched the corner of his mouth: "Less fart!" If you want to get out of here, it's early! Don't talk about this uselessness! ”
Hassan slowly turned around and looked at the remnant sun in the distance that still had half of his face left, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Doll, do you think that after this 'Yue'er Spring', you can go all the way to Xicheng peacefully...... Don't you know that this Broken Soul Mountain is the territory of Qingfeng Village? ”
What the? Qingfeng Village?
Hassan's half-baked Zhongyuan dialect was twisted and turned, but those three words still seemed to have magical power, which made the smile on the face of the young man in Chinese clothes stiffen, and the tone of his speech was several points lower:
"That...... The breeze village of the Mobei Witch? ”
"Hey, hey." Hassan turned his head and smiled a little deeper: "Which Qingfeng Village is there in this desert?" ”
"!!" The young man in Chinese clothes snatched the knife of the guard next to him, raised it and pointed at Hassan: "You old thing dare to lead the young master to the territory of the female demon, are you tired of it!" ”
"Hahaha!" Hassan laughed: "Mobei Witch, that's the name of your Central Plains people...... In the desert, we all call her the 'fire whirlwind' in the desert, don't worry, doll, as long as I'm Hassan, the fire whirlwind won't move a single hair of you. But if you leave us, it's hard to say! ”
"You!!" This time, it was the turn of the young man in Chinese costume to grit his teeth.
Hassan, on the other hand, looked like he was in a good position, went to the bonfire that was rising next to him, took out a piece of naan, and laughed as he baked it.
"Hehe, maybe the fire whirlwind likes you, a fine-skinned and tender-fleshed Central Plains baby, and directly snatches it back to Qingfeng Village to be the lady of the village!"
Hahaha!
The men of different races laughed loudly, and they all ignored the young man in Chinese costumes, who were trembling with anger, and came to Hassan's side, took out his naan and baked it.
And the original arrogance of the young man in gorgeous clothes was actually suppressed by the words 'Qingfeng Village' and 'Fire Whirlwind', and he was angry for a while, and finally stomped his feet and led people back into the caravan.
But perhaps he was walking too fast, not paying attention to his feet, suddenly stumbled, almost tripped over something, turned his head to look, only to see a long-haired beggar with black and swarthy body leaning on a squatting camel at some point, unaware of the thick smell, sleeping soundly.
"Something that doesn't have long eyes!"
The young man in Chinese clothes was angry, raised a foot and kicked the beggar's chest, but it just so happened that the beggar, who was asleep, just turned over, so that the kick just kicked him in the back, and he heard a scream, and the young man in Chinese clothes sat on the ground with his feet in his hands.
"Oops!! It hurts the master! ”
"Young Master! Are you okay! ”
The men next to them hurriedly went over to help, but they also wondered one by one.
The young master's kick clearly used enough strength, how could it be like kicking on the iron plate, that beggar is not something strange!
You know, to be able to walk on this desert, these men also have some thoughts, and the situation in front of them should not cause more trouble, so although the young man in fancy clothes was still shouting to dismantle the beggar, they carried the young man to the side, leaving only the beggar sleeping and snoring, which seemed very clear in the darkening night.
"Uncle Hassan!"
Next to the fire, an alien man winked at Hassan: "Who is that Hanako?" Why did you take him with you along the way? If you don't talk about eating and drinking, you will still sleep, and it is better to use a camel! ”
Hassan didn't seem to hear the man's words, but just took a sip of water, swallowed the dry naan in his mouth, and then threw a piece of naan, which had been roasted softly, at the beggar's side.
"Eat!"
The naan cake fell not far from the beggar, and the faint aroma seemed to make the beggar sniffle, and then he heard a muffled voice coming:
"There are buns in the light...... No meat...... No...... Don't eat! ”
"His grandmother's flower still eats meat!" The men next to him were even more unhappy, but they didn't expect Hassan to smile and take out a piece of dried animal meat from his arms, roast it on the fire, and throw it over.
"Uncle Hassan!" The men's eyes were red one by one: "You are reluctant to give us that meat!" ”
"Hahaha!" But Hassan, as if he hadn't heard, grinned, and looked straight at the beggar, as if waiting for the other to get up.
Sure enough, this time, the smell of meat finally made the beggar open his eyes.
It was a pair of black and white eyes that were clear to the extreme, and they were not stained by the black mud on the face next to them at all, and even, everyone seemed to see two rays of light piercing through the night, which made people shudder for a while.
Fortunately, this sharp look flashed, and the beggar had already rolled the jerky into the naan, and chewed it one bite at a time, regardless of the sand on the ground.
Everyone just watched the beggar's Adam's apple roll up and down, and the sound of swallowing saliva was already heard from the crowd.
"Wine!! Wine!! The beggar stretched out his swarthy paws.
"And drink!!" One of the sturdiest young men in the alien race couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed towards the beggar: "That's our last piece of meat!" ”
"Grand!!" But Hassan shouted in a low voice, which made Gran stunned halfway, and turned around with a puzzled face: "Uncle Hassan, who is this flower?" Why are you better to him than to your own son! ”
"Hey, hey." Hassan did not answer, but went to the side of the camel on which he was riding, untied a leather bag from the hump, and threw it to the beggar.
"Save some drink!"
Gollum ...... Gollum ......
The beggar did not hear Hassan's words, so he drank the bag dry in a few sips, and at last shook it vigorously, opened his mouth, and waited for the last drop of wine to fall in his mouth, then threw the bag on the ground, and ate the last bite of bread, and then went to the camel to nest contentedly.
"This Hanako!!"
Angry and greedy, Grand picked up the leather bag and came to Hassan's side: "Uncle Hassan, drink your wine too!" ”
"Haha!" Hassan could only laugh, tied the leather bag around his waist, and patted Grand's hard chest: "You didn't teach you to take care of your lips when you come out!" ”
"But!!" Before Grande could say something, he saw that Hassan had already turned around and beckoned everyone: "Big guy, rest and say?" Get ready to go! ”
"What??"
Everyone began to clean up, but the young man in Chinese clothes before shouted: "Aren't you here tonight?" Why are you leaving!! ”
Hassan grinned: "Spend the night on the territory of Qingfeng Village, doll, you really think your life is too long!" ”
"Old thing, what are you talking about!!"
The young man in Chinese clothes, who finally stopped, rushed over with a knife: "Didn't you say that there are people in Qingfeng Village who won't touch us!" What are you afraid of now? ”
"Even the fiercest wolves in the desert won't wait for lions to come close!"
Hassan had already come to the beggar's side as he spoke, and he didn't look at the young man in Chinese clothes at all, but just bowed his head and called, "Let's go!" ”
Whew~Whew~
The beggar seemed to be asleep again.
"Bastard!" The anger of the young man in Huafu completely broke out tonight: "You are just an old barbarian who leads the way for the master, you really think who you are!" Who has the final say in this caravan! Today, the master still doesn't believe in this evil, and no one is allowed to leave! Just camping here, the master wants to see if the Mobei female demon dares to come to the trouble of the master! ”
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the voice was heard far away, but the echo in the distance had not yet disappeared, and suddenly, a long wolf howl sounded.
Whew~~
The mournful voice was like the roar of the devil, stimulating everyone's nerves in the night.
Hassan's face changed instantly.
On the ground, the flower that was still snoring slowly opened her eyes.
Tonight, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave!
