The sun was just in the west, and Zhao Youtian saw from a distance that seven or eight Ha tribesmen with guns on their backs were driving dozens of sheep and slowly walking north.

He suddenly saw the heart-wrenching scene just now in front of him. Anger came from the guts for a while, and he didn't care about Xiangzi's repeated advice, so he led the team and went straight towards the bandits. The sound of galloping horses' hooves soon alarmed the bandits in the distance. They panicked and glanced at the flying horses for a moment. So he left his flock and galloped north. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the overgrown Gobi.

The empty field, leaving only a few faint wisps of flying dust.

Zhao Youtian glanced contemptuously in the direction where the bandits had fled, and then looked meaningful, beckoning people to drive the sheep back, and sending people to report the good news to Xiangzi.

Just when Zhao Youtian was complacent, thinking that he had easily made a head.

Suddenly, a shot rang out from behind, and the gunfire seemed to be far away, but with the gunshot, a member of the team not far from him planted his horse in response.

He suddenly turned his head to look north vigilantly, and before he could see the name, the distant gunfire rang out again, and then one of the team members fell under the horse.

Zhao Youtian panicked for a while, and hurriedly beckoned the team members to retreat.

After running a few hundred meters, I immediately looked back and saw that the sheep had been driven away. And the five bandits were immediately shooting at themselves, staring at themselves.

Zhao Youtian had just suffered a loss, and he knew that the bandits had great marksmanship and could hit the target from a distance of 300 meters. Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly, and immediately waited for Xiangzi's support.

The five bandits, seeing that Zhao Youtian did not move, turned their horses' heads and chased the sheep away.

Zhao Youtian saw that the bandits were far away, and immediately led people to rescue the two team members who had fallen.

One was shot in the chest and still breathed. The other, with a shoulder injury, was bleeding profusely.

Just when Zhao Youtian was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, Xiangzi hurried over with the second team of people.

Without saying a word, let the wounded be carried under the big tree next to him, and the first aid kit was quickly taken out with his hands and feet to treat the wounds.

Both of them had penetrating injuries, and the shoulder injury did not hurt the bones, and the bleeding was not serious.

The position where he was shot in the chest had already pierced the lungs, and the surface of the wound did not seem to bleed much, but Xiangzi knew in his heart that a large amount of blood was surging into the chest. Under the current conditions, there is no chance of survival.

So, instead of bandaging his wound right away, he fed him a pain-relieving pill and moved him to a clean sand beam to lie down.

Sent away Zhao Youtian and other team members who wanted to cry without tears, sat quietly in front of the wounded, and softly shouted the name of the wounded: "Sanwa, Sanwa, Qian Sanwa"

Sanwa gradually opened her eyes, smiled sadly at Xiangzi, and muttered weakly: "I'm afraid I won't survive." ”

Shoko smiled gently at him and said, "I'll tell you something first." ”

Seeing that Sanwa was listening intently, he continued: "Have you ever heard of the Buddha? ”

Sanwa nodded stunned.

With a kind smile on her face, Shoko continued, "The Buddha said that people are not really dead, but change their bodies and environments and continue to live in another world. It's like changing clothes and moving home.

And what kind of clothes to change and what kind of environment to go to, you can be very particular.

Some people get worse and worse, while others change their appointments more and more. So, it's not terrible for people to die, it's really scary to not know where to go after death. ”

Seeing Sanwa staring at herself in a daze, her distracted eyes were full of expectation and curiosity.

Xiangzi reached out and stroked Sanwa's head and whispered, "Do you believe me? ”

Sanwa blinked and nodded weakly.

Shoko smiled at him with a gratifying smile and said, "As long as you do what I say, you will be born into an equal and beautiful world, where people will only be happy and happy, and there will be no worries and sorrows."

Moreover, your life span is unlimited, and you will be free from the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation forever, are you willing to go? ”

Sanwa's face was a little lively, trying to squeeze out a bleak smile, and her eyes, which were already a little stiff, blinked slowly.

Xiangzi smiled happily and said, "Now, please put down Wanyuan and concentrate on telling me: I, Qian Sanwa, make a wish to be reborn in the Western Elysium, and ask for the Buddha's mercy and blessing, so that I can forever get rid of the six realms and be reborn in Bliss."

Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha......"

At first, Sanwa read along in a weak voice. Later, gradually no sound could be heard, only the lips were still squirming gently, and it became more and more sluggish.

After a while, Sanwa's head slowly tilted to the side, and the muscles and bones all over her body seemed to have suddenly lost their restraints, completing a natural relaxation. The body was like a cloth bag filled with sand, lying limply on the ground.

Xiangzi whispered the holy name of Amitabha Buddha while witnessing the three babies go away peacefully.

After continuing to read for a while, Xiangzi quietly left with relief.

Xiangzi came slowly, squatting on the ground and smoking a cigarette with a depressed expression, and said in a calm voice: "The third baby is gone, she looks very good, and she will not suffer again in the next life."

Take the brothers to say goodbye to him, dig a pit on the spot, dig it all the way to the wet sand, store the three babies there first, and then transport them back when they come back. ”

Zhao Youtian suddenly burst into tears of sadness in his eyes. waved at his team, and walked silently towards Sanwa.

Seeing Xiangzi squatting under the tree stunned, Shuzhen sat beside him quietly, glanced at him with concern, and said, "What's next?" ”

Xiangzi sighed lightly and said, "Wait a minute, everyone will come together and talk about it!" ”

After being silent for a while, Shuzhen asked curiously: "First of all, I saw that you said a lot of words to Sanwa, and then I saw what you were babbling about, are you reciting scriptures to him?" ”

Xiangzi smiled sadly at her and said, "The Buddha said that when a person is dying, as long as he firmly believes that there is a Western Elysium, and firmly believes that as long as he recites the holy name of Amitabha Buddha with all his heart, he can die even if he has one or ten thoughts. First, I told Sanwa this truth, hoping that he would be convinced to do it. Unexpectedly, Sanwa's roots are really good, as soon as he says it, he believes it and does it immediately. Then, he passed away peacefully. Looking at his appearance, he must be out of the six paths, and he can be regarded as having a good destination. ”

While talking, Zhao Youtian and the others, all of them hung their heads and walked over like eggplants beaten by frost.

Shoko jumped up from under the tree and beckoned everyone to line up.

The team quickly lined up, and unlike usual, everyone seemed to have a thin layer of frost on their faces.

The sun was already red, and the barren fields were a little more colourful. A band of gray clouds appeared in the distant sky, indicating that tomorrow's sun might be sleeping late.

A lark seemed to be sucked high in the air by the blue sky, but it sang loudly without sorrow.
