Chapter 60: The Wind and the Dry Desert

A month later. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three carriages and two coffin carriages stopped at the end of the plain, and two dozen people got out of the carriages and stood in front of them in a row. They looked at the endless desert in front of them. The desert is windswept and sandy, and there are dead trees scattered everywhere. Beneath them was hard dirt, and beyond them were wooded plains.

Ye Cheng looked back and forth, the arid desert in front and the humid land in the back. I can't help but marvel at the magic of the earth, only the earth can paint this picture of both wet and drought.

"Will the grain army really pass through here?" The big boss of the purple service asked.

Nangong Hongyun, who was wearing a soldier's uniform, nodded and said, "Well, because the border was harassed by some miscellaneous troops of Xiao State, the grain conscription army was appointed to suppress it this time. And the wind-dry desert that Brother Ye is going to is here. ”

"Let's go, it's still a little far from the border, I hope to get to Oasis County before dark," Nangong Hongyun finished speaking, helping Nangong Yan to step into the desert first.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Cheng, Xia Meng, Cao Rou, Ding Yuxuan, Da Boss, Anxin, and Bei Mao all wrapped their heads in gauze and walked into the desert. Bai Yingping, the five brothers of the Zhu family, five apprentices, and several thieves took turns carrying the two coffins and walked slowly behind.

The sand is soft, making them slow to move and endure the blowing of the wind and sand.

After walking for a while, Zhu Zi'an blocked his face with his hand, accelerated away from the team carrying the coffin, and shouted behind Ye Cheng, "Eighth brother, where is the strange building you are talking about?" ”

Because of the strong wind and sand, and Ye Cheng was engrossed in looking at everything that might appear in front of him, he couldn't hear what Zhu Zi'an said from behind.

Zhu Zi'an walked up to Ye Cheng and patted his shoulder, which was covered with yellow sand.

At this time, Ye Cheng realized that he turned his head and asked, "Brother Zi'an, why did you keep up?" ”

Seeing that Ye Cheng didn't hear what he just said at all, Zhu Zi'an shouted with some annoyance against the wind and sand, "I want to ask you, where is the strange building you said?" ”

"I don't know, but it must be in this windy desert." Ye Cheng also shouted against the wind and sand.

"Hey" Suddenly, Bai Yingping's shouting came from behind him, and the two turned around and saw Bai Yingping walking over with difficulty. Walking to Ye Cheng's side, Bai Yingping continued, "Now that the wind and sand are getting bigger and bigger, I'm afraid that a sandstorm will form, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous if I continue to walk like this."

Zhu Zi'an leaned forward, looked at Bai Yingping and shouted, "Haven't you been here before?" Don't you know how far away you are from Oasis County right now? ”

"He's amnesia..... come here" Suddenly, Ye Cheng, who was looking ahead, looked frightened and shouted, "Look ahead."

The two of them looked ahead as Ye Cheng said, and suddenly they both showed frightened looks. The desert ahead was covered with dark clouds, and a tornado raged beneath the clouds. The two immediately began to shout in a panic

"A tornado is coming"

"General Nangong, stop, the tornado is coming"

.......

No matter how he shouted, Nangong Hongyun always walked in front with Nangong Yan on his back to lead the way. And everyone else stopped and gathered.

"Don't stop, we're going to get right behind Starling," Bemao shouted.

"But a tornado is coming," Zhuzian shouted anxiously.

"Starlings can sense the path of the tornado, so we can't get lost or get too far away from him. And behind that tornado is Oasis County. It's almost winter now, and the desert will be very cold at night, do you want to freeze to death here?"

Hearing Bei Mao's shout, everyone followed Nangong Hongyun with trepidation.

"I'll continue to carry the coffin, Brother Zi'an, you can follow Ye Cheng's side" Bai Yingping slowed down and retreated to the side of the coffin.

Seeing Bai Yingping regress little by little, Zhu Zi'an looked at Ye Cheng with a look of disbelief and asked, "Eighth brother, do you believe that someone can sense the direction of the tornado?" ”

"I believe, but not people, but satellites" Ye Cheng said

"What? What is a satellite? ”

"Uh... It's almost the same as the divine power you have here," Ye Cheng casually perfunctory. Seeing that the tornado was getting closer and closer, Ye Cheng was a little worried, and looked sideways at Bei Mao and asked, "Can General Nangong really sense the path of the tornado?" We're heading for a tornado right now."

Beimao explained, "The starling's ability to perceive tornadoes was learned from his eldest brother, and if he wasn't completely sure, he wouldn't have taken us on an adventure, and his father was there, so we could follow with confidence."

"Who's your big brother?" Ye Cheng asked with some hesitation: "I heard Zhang Wentai say anything about the twelve generals in Zhongyi Village before, who are you?" ”

Bei Mao looked at Ye Cheng and examined it, and said, "With you now, it's better not to find out our identity." We are with you, and one day you will know, so why rush"

..........

As the tornado got closer and closer, the wind and sand rolled up became bigger and bigger, and they continued to bow down against the wind with their arms in front of their faces. Although his face was wrapped in gauze, he could still feel the pain of the sand blowing on his face.

Ye Cheng walked with his head down. Suddenly, Zhu Zi'an next to him waved his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, Zhu Zi'an looked at the front in a panic and shouted, "Eighth brother, look ahead, Nangong Hongyun has stopped"

As soon as Ye Cheng let go of the hand that was blocking his face, the gauze wrapped around his head was immediately blown away by a strong wind and sand, revealing half of his face. Ye Cheng looked ahead, and suddenly looked frightened. A tornado is already close at hand.

"Ah" Suddenly, Ding Yuxuan was blown to the ground by the strong wind and sand.

The female shopkeeper and Xia Meng hurriedly pulled her up, and then the three of them hugged each other and walked. The big boss and Anxin also walked over, and the five of them walked hand in hand.

Originally, five people carried a coffin, but now the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone is getting started. Because of the weight of the coffin, their feet sank deeper into the sand, reaching the knees. But it still walked slowly forward.

Everyone worked together, and when they were about to walk behind Nangong Hongyun, he stretched out his left hand to block everyone's way, shouting, "Hide behind me, don't move"

Zhu Zi'an leaned closer to Nangong Hongyun and shouted, "General Nangong, what are we waiting for here?" Tornado ......."

"It's coming! All stand firm!! Nangong Hongyun shouted

"Hoo ......."

A strong wind came and rolled up a large amount of sand, which mixed with the wind and blocked most of the view, like a person in a large amount of smoke. The sand mixed with the wind kept lapping against them, causing unbearable pain in their bodies. Keep your hands in front of you to prevent the wind and sand from hitting you, and bend your body slightly forward to ensure that you won't be blown over by the wind.

Ye Cheng slowly opened his eyes, wanting to see the situation of the tornado, and suddenly looked frightened! The tornado was already a few meters away from Nangong Hongyun.
