The shadow of the setting sun pulls the shadow of the person on the ground slender, and through the thick soles, the temperature left by the long yellow sand in the desert is still a little scorching.

The yellow sand castle in front is the only place where you can settle in this radius of 100 miles, and the merchants who are in a hurry see that the sky is getting late, they are all scrambling to hurry and go to the yellow sand castle as soon as possible to rest, because the desert sky, when the night quietly falls, all the scorching temperatures in the day will slowly dissipate at a very fast speed, and then the night wind blowing through is full of thick chill.

In the end, it is not in the tenth winter wax moon, the cold does not make people so frightened, what is really frightening is the endless sand, the pair of hungry green eyes at night, and the bandits who kill like hemp and rob for a living.

The owner of the Yellow Sand Castle must also be a hero, and can occupy the Yellow Sand Castle, a feng shui treasure that houses people, and the pedestrians and merchants who come and go are willing to spend money to buy a stable person in the Yellow Sand Castle, no gold and silver, if they are willing to sleep on the streets of the Yellow Sand Castle for a night, but if you can withstand the cold at night, it is also okay.

Because of the location of the Yellow Sand Castle, if there is anything rare in the circle, it must be a place of exchange, and even the women selling some dry food and wine on the street can tell a few recent strange things in the first place.

The night gradually covered the vast sky, and the night was windy and cold, and the vendors on both sides of the Huangsha Castle street began to pack up their stalls and prepare to go home.

As the camel bells jingled and jingled a few crisp sounds, a woman in plain white cloth jumped down from the camel, came to a kind-faced aunt, opened a small elephant painted on brown paper in her hand, and asked, "Auntie, have you ever seen the person in this portrait?" ”

The aunt was also warm-hearted, took the portrait and looked at it for a long time, seemed to rack her brains and thought about it, and said: "Our young master of Huangsha Castle is also very handsome, and he is a little similar to the person in the girl's portrait. ”

"Young Master?"

When Su Yu heard this, her heart sank slightly, and she stopped and stopped for a few months, no matter how slim the hope was, she would look for it, even if she heard that a young master looked like Xiao Yi now, she would go to take a look, although Xiao Yisheng grew up in Daliang, no matter what, she couldn't become the young master of this yellow sand castle, but if there was so little hope, she would not hesitate to go.

Nodding, thank the aunt, Su Yu just took the small statue of the kraft paper in his hand back into his arms, but he heard a sigh behind him, and the bearded uncle who looked at Su Yu all the way was constantly looking for, said with pity: "Girl, since you entered my camel team, you have been walking for ten days and asked for ten days, today, I really can't help it, I want to talk to the girl." ”

Su Yu turned his head and heard the voice, this is with her, the captain of the camel team, this captain is rough, full of beard, has raised dozens of camels in the desert, and has been doing the work of sending pedestrians back and forth for decades, seeing that Su Yu is alone as a woman, she takes special care of her, and always distances her camel from several other men who are traveling with frivolous eyes, and now listening to this kind uncle have something to say, Su Yu smiled and said: "Uncle, you speak." ”

"Girl, if you really can't find the person in this portrait, don't look for it, everyone has a life, you can't always live for others, you have to live for yourself."

Su Yu nodded, raised his eyes again, and found that the sky that had not yet darkened had faintly twinkling stars, and thanked the bearded uncle for his kindness, and did not make an excuse, but said: "I know, thank you." ”

The camel continued to walk forward on the street, and the young man in the team called the bearded uncle, who answered, turned around to leave, and said to Su Yu: "If there is still a family at home, go back early, there are too many bad people on this road, and my camel team will send you here, you have to take care." ”

Su Yu smiled, was grateful, bowed to the departing bearded uncle, and thanked the elder who met in Pingshui.

The night gradually darkened, the streets of the yellow sand castle lit a few sparse lights, the night wind was strong, the lanterns swayed under the eaves, after a while, and a few more were extinguished one after another, only the light from the windows of each house, only the light from the windows of each house, so that the streets full of yellow sand, the footsteps were deep and shallow, not so dark.

Su Yu inquired for a while, then went to the only inn in the town, wrapped in the clothes on his body, he really felt a little cold, and couldn't help but speed up his steps.

Approaching the inn, Su Yu walked and walked, and a few large and rude men came to her, swaggering towards her, Su Yu stopped and gave way to the side, but saw that the big men also squeezed to the side, and got closer and closer to her.

Su Yu raised his eyes and looked at it, and recognized it, these few were on the road with her, those few tenants who rode camels, along the way, Rao was the bearded uncle who arranged her far away from them, Su Yu still noticed it, these people came from time to time, that very frivolous gaze, but at that time, because the bearded uncle and his little guys were there, they didn't dare to make too presumptuous moves, and now Su Yu looked, but he was going to send his life to the door.

After a few days of traveling, eating and sleeping, Su Yu was also a little tired, and she was easily reluctant to do anything with these cats and dogs, so she took a breath and moved to the side again, intending to stick to the wall.

Su Yu raised his eyes and glared at those people coldly, revealing the killing intent that made several big men shocked.

When he came back to his senses, one of the big men snorted lightly and scolded Su Yu: "His grandmother's, a girl's eyeballs are so powerful, grandpa and I will let you have nothing but crying and begging for mercy!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his sleeve and wiped the saliva from his mouth, and pounced towards Su Yu.

Su Yu concentrated, and just wanted to raise his hand to draw his sword, but not far away, a gorgeously dressed young man, carrying a sharpened axe, was standing there, followed by several very arrogant followers, who looked like they were only fourteen or fifteen years old.

A loud whistle blew, the young man looked frivolous, took a step forward with an axe, sneered, and said to the followers behind him: "Little ones, it seems that there are people who don't understand the rules of the Yellow Sand Castle, and dare to spread wild on my territory!" ”

Those people didn't seem to recognize the young man, rolled up their sleeves and said viciously: "Stinky boy, don't spoil Lao Tzu's good deeds!"

"A good thing?" The young man's voice was still a little immature, but the words he said were very old-fashioned, "Huangsha Castle is a place with rules, if you want to be merry and happy, in the Fenghualou in the west of the town, as long as you are willing to spend money, there are girls of all kinds, but if you are wild on the street, you have to ask the master if my axe agrees!" ”

After that, the young man couldn't help but say, raised his axe and led a few followers behind him, those with knives with knives, and those with hammers with hammers, and rushed towards the big men.

Immediately afterwards, there was a vicious battle with a ding bell, Su Yu stood down the wall, and looked at these half-old young men, who seemed to have practiced a few times, especially the young man who used an axe, fist and foot kung fu, which can be regarded as okay, but the shelves are a little fancy, although there are some loopholes, it is also possible to fight these few big men who play with brute force alone.

In the end, the young man defeated several big men with a not very chic attitude, and when he stepped on Fang Cai's scolding big man's face with his foot, he didn't forget to throw a wink at Su Yu, squeezing out a look of pride in saving the beauty of a hero, but this flattering eye went too far, involving the swollen cheeks that were beaten in the vicious battle just now, and suddenly turned into a grinning expression of pain.

Su Yu chuckled, and also complied with the young man's wish, and arched his hand, "Thank you, little hero." ”

This hero obviously entered the young man's heart very much, took his feet off the big man's face, took a few steps over, raised his head towards Su Yu and said: "You don't have to be polite, this yellow sand castle is far away from the emperor, and the king of heaven can't care about it, only the master and I have the final say!" After that, he pointed to the highest light in the town very proudly, and said: "The only inn is the master's home, I live on the highest floor, if there is any difficulty, go to me, I like justice the most." ”

Su Yu responded, and looked at the young man's face by the light reflected in the room next to him, and couldn't help but feel a little excited, because under the shroud of light, the young man's eyebrows and eyes did have some subtle similarities with Xiao Yi.

Seeing that Su Yu's eyes were suddenly soft and a little sad, the young man hurriedly took a step back and muttered to the attendant beside him, "Isn't this beauty going to promise me?" ”

The attendant who heard him muttering was younger, and asked the young man in confusion: "Young master, what is a personal promise?" ”

As soon as he asked, the young man who asked had red ears, and he immediately scratched his ears and cheeks, and he was at a loss.

Su Yu listened to it sincerely, chuckled, looked at the only inn in the town, and walked towards it.

Entering the inn, Su Yu really understood the meaning of the word "mixed fish and dragons", there are characters from all over the world, there are peddlers and pawns, heroes from all over the country, officials from all over the country passing by, there are criminals on death row who have escaped, or rich people who spend a lot of money, and there are also poor refugees, in short, in the lobby of the inn at the moment, cockfighting, pole lifting, gambling, and even taking women to touch the merry, everything, noisy sounds, as if to break through the roof of this inn before stopping.

Su Yu entered the lobby and found a quiet corner to sit down, and the person sitting at the same table with her seemed to be a helpless scholar, still looking at a book under the faint lamp in the corner.

After sitting down, Su Yu glanced at the book, but saw that it was not a poem or song, but a dense, decomposed commentary of the five elements and gossip.

Retracted his gaze, just picked up the chopsticks in the barrel on the table, and was about to eat a bite of the steaming somen noodles served by the guy, but he heard the door of the inn slam open, and the young man who was carrying the axe hero to save the beauty entered the door, stepped on the stool and shouted, "Damn, it's time to sleep, be quiet for the master!" ”
