The camel riders immediately dug up the sand with their hands, and the sound here had already led the scattered camel riders to this side, and everyone was a little puzzled when they saw a long wooden stake.

The two camels were very slow, and someone next to them immediately stepped forward to help, for a while, digging a deep pit, but nothing was still seen, Qiu Yinghao frowned, and finally said: "No need to dig, there is nothing." With a suspicious look on his face, he clenched his fists and said to himself: "How can there be a wooden stake here?" ”

Chu Huan walked to the edge of the pit, squatted down and looked at it, then looked at the wooden stake again, and finally asked, "Master Qiu, is this ...... Could it be some kind of mark? ”

"Mark?" Qiu Yinghao was stunned for a moment, groaned slightly, and then nodded: "It's possible, it's just ...... What would be this sign of this vast desert? ”

Chu Huan stood up, looked around, the sand dunes were continuous, he was silent for a moment, suddenly looked at Sun Yi in the crowd, and asked, "Sun Yi, do you mean that after the Ma Dangjia left the camp alone, he kept coming to the west?" ”

Sun Yi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The horse didn't notice you at first, and when he did, he stopped and called you two out?" Chu Huan stared at Sun Yi's eyes.

Sun Yi said: "Yes, the wolf baby and I were worried about the safety of the master, so we secretly followed and walked to the previous place, and the owner suddenly stopped and called us out." ”

"In other words, you can't be sure that the place just now is where the Ma Dang family is going." Chu Huan asked, "Is it possible that he walked there and noticed that you were following, so he didn't continue walking, but the destination he wanted to reach was not that place?" ”

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I...... I do not know. ”

Qiu Yinghao seemed to understand something, and asked, "Uncle Chu, do you mean that the place that Senior Brother really wants to reach is here, this wooden stake...... Is it a sign that my brother is coming? ”

Chu Huan said: "The official is not sure, but there is a possibility." ”

Qiu Yinghao said curiously: "Who erected this stake? ”

"This person, Ma Dangjia may know." Chu Huan said slowly: "Where the stake is, it should be a sign that the Ma Dangjia came to meet people, but the Ma Dangjia is no longer here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to know who set up the wooden stake here!" ”

Qiu Yinghao's expression was grim, and he was still puzzled: "In the middle of the night, who will the senior brother meet here?" As if thinking of something, he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, Chu Huan had already asked, "What did Master Qiu think of?" ”

Qiu Yinghao shook his head and said, "No." ”

Chu Huan didn't ask, looked around, and finally said, "Master Qiu, now that the matter has happened, what should we do next?" ”

"Senior brother's body, I have to send someone to send it back to Wild Goose Town." Qiu Yinghao said: "Uncle Chu, this is a private matter of our camel guests, it will not affect your mission, tomorrow morning, continue to march." ”

At this moment, someone over there had already run over and shouted, "Oh no, no, Miss Ma is leaving...... ”

Qiu Yinghao's face sank, and he hurried back, and a group of people hulala walked back, but saw Ma Zhengyi's body lying quietly on the sand, Ma Xiulian had disappeared, and met a camel rider who stayed in the camp and ran over, and said anxiously: "Qiu is in charge, Miss Ma wants to leave, and she can't stop it!" ”

Qiu Yinghao reached out and picked up Ma Zhengyi's body, put it on his shoulder, and hurried to the camp, only to see that Ma Xiulian was already riding on horseback, scolding coquettishly, and two camel riders were blocking her way.

Qiu Yinghao handed the body to the camel rider beside him, stepped forward, and shouted angrily: "Xiulian, what are you crazy about? ”

"I'm going to find the wolf baby." Ma Xiulian gritted her teeth and said, "I want to ask clearly, why did he kill his father?" I'm going to kill him with my own hands! ”

Qiu Yinghao grabbed the reins of the horse and said angrily: "At this time, where are you going to find him?" In the vast desert, you are looking for him in such a daze, and you haven't found him yet, but you are afraid that you will die in the desert. Even if you find him, so what? He has all the skills taught by your father, are you his opponent? If he can kill Senior Brother, can't he kill you? ”

"Then let him kill!" Ma Xiulian's tears did not dry and added new tears, "I must find him!" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiu Yinghao said sharply: "Your father is not here, I am your father, I can't watch you die." When you come down, I promise you that your father's revenge will be avenged. ”

The people next to him came up to persuade one after another.

Qiu Yinghao pointed to Ma Zhengyi's corpse, and said: "Your father's bones are not cold, you go to death like this, is this the way to fulfill filial piety?" Your father has raised you for 20 years, with hard work, and you have wasted your life like this, so you repay your father? ”

When Ma Xiulian heard this, she fell on the horse's back and cried bitterly.

"Xiulian, you take a rest first." Qiu Yinghao said earnestly: "Your father can't stay in the desert, early tomorrow morning, you will take the camel riders of the Ma family to escort your father's body back to Yan Town first." If you can't find the wolf baby, Uncle Qiu will never fall into Yan Town! ”

Ma Xiulian raised her head and said, "No, I'm not going back, I'm going to find him!" ”

"You kid." Qiu Yinghao shook his head and sighed: "Then what about your father?" He frowned and said, "It's hot during the day, and your father's body is ......!" "Didn't go on.

Ma Zhengyi is dead, and if his body is left in the desert, it will soon rot and stink, and it can only be transported back as soon as possible.

Ma Xiulian clenched her pink fist and said, "I want to be the first to see the wolf baby, and I want to ask him why he killed his father." Uncle Hoo, Daddy's body, you ...... You arrange for someone to send it back, and I will find the wolf baby with you! ”

Qiu Yinghao was silent for a moment, seeing Ma Xiulian's resolute expression, and also knowing the girl's temperament, he sighed, bowed his head slightly, and recruited the camel guests of the Ma family in the past, and whispered to him, but the camel guests of the Ma family were all gloomy and silent.

After the arrangements were made, Qiu Yinghao saw Chu Huan sitting on the sand not far away, as if thinking about something, walked over, and sighed: "Uncle Chu, I can't help but have an accident that frightened Uncle Chu!" ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Qiu Dangjia is too worried, and this official is not frightened. ”

"That's good!" Qiu Yinghao sat down beside Chu Huan and sighed lightly: "Senior brother and I have been friends for decades, and we have walked through the desert together countless times, but I didn't expect that this time it would be a ......!" He shook his head, rather sad.

Chu Huan asked softly: "Qiu Dangjia, I've been thinking about a question, the wolf baby won't kill Ma Dangjia for no reason, so what is the reason why he killed Ma Dangjia?" ”

Qiu Yinghao said solemnly: "Why am I not thinking about this problem? Sun Yi has also been with his senior brother for more than ten years, he is honest and reliable, I may not believe it if he is someone else, but Sun Yi's words should not be fake. Wolf Baby...... I have always felt that this baby is very honest and honest, and he is a real person, and I really can't think of ......"! He sighed, his eyes showing a bit of sadness and indignation.

"Who the hell is the wolf baby?" Chu Huan said softly: "I heard that the Ma Dangjia is very serious about him!" ”

"It's true." Qiu Yinghao nodded and said, "Twenty-one years ago, my senior brother and I didn't have our own camel riders, and at that time, we walked the desert with our master. I remember that when I returned from the desert that year, I passed through the Gobi, and my brother looked for a convenient place, and when he came back, I saw him coming back with a baby. It stands to reason that an abandoned baby thrown in the Gobi will be eaten in less than half a day, but the senior brother said that when he saw the baby, he saw a coyote feeding the child......! ”

Chu Huan smiled: "In this way, this wolf baby is still an alien. ”

"Just that time, the senior brother named the child, saying that he drank wolf milk, so he simply called him a wolf baby." Qiu Yinghao recalled: "The senior brother adopted the wolf baby by his side, and when he grew up, he was rumored to be a master and apprentice in name, but the senior brother treated the wolf baby as if he were his own son, this wolf baby is also considered to be talented, riding a horse and archery can learn faster than anyone else, you also saw it last time he won the bid, he is young, but he has a good ability, the Ma family camel guest, the wolf baby is the first camel rider under the senior brother!" ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, winning the bid that day, the wolf baby showed his skills, both archery and equestrianism are extremely good, and it is indeed extraordinary.

"But this baby has a regret, that is, he can't speak." Qiu Yinghao said: "I remember that after the senior brother took him in, this baby is said to have never cried, and when he was older, he didn't speak, and he found a doctor, only to know that the child had a problem with his tongue, but he couldn't speak, and he was a mute!" ”

"Dumb?" Chu Huan's body was shocked, and he was a little surprised: "Master Qiu, you mean, the wolf baby is ...... A mute? ”

In Qiu Yinghao's eyes, Chu Huan has always been very calm, and his joy is not obvious, but Chu Huan's reaction at this moment seems to be a little special, and he bowed his head slightly: "Yes, he is a dumb person!" ”

"It turned out to be mute." Chu Huan muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about something, but soon, he smiled and said: "God gave him something and accepted some things, maybe he has a talent for riding horses and archery, so God didn't let him speak." ”

Qiu Yinghao glanced at Chu Huan very strangely, and suddenly heard Chu Huan ask again: "Qiu Dangjia thinks Sun Yi is very credible?" ”

"Uncle Chu, do you think there's something wrong?" Qiu Yinghao immediately asked.

Chu Huan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't think there's anything wrong. Although Qiu Dangjia had said before he set off that the life and death of the camel rider had nothing to do with the mission, after all, Ma Dangjia's trip was to escort the mission, and he was killed in the desert, and the official was still very sorry in his heart, but wanted to know why Ma Dangjia was killed by the wolf baby. What Sun Yi said may not be false, but Qiu Dangjia can ask him alone to see if there is anything missing! ”

Qiu Yinghao thought for a while before saying, "Uncle Chu, don't worry, I will handle this matter and investigate it well." He got up and said, "I have to leave early tomorrow morning, Uncle Chu should rest early!" Leave with your hands.

Qiu Yinghao retreated, but the white blind man came over and sat down beside Chu Huan, Chu Huan asked, "Brother Bai hasn't slept yet?" ”

"My lord, I don't know what to say." The white blind man looked solemn.

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Brother Bai and I still have any scruples? ”

The white blind man thought for a while, and finally said: "My lord, Ma Zhengyi entered the desert this time, he took the initiative to come over, and the motive is already very suspicious, not to mention why he died, but in the middle of the night, the third watch went out of the camp alone to meet people, which is very strange!" ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, thoughtful, and then asked softly, "What is Brother Bai's opinion?" ”

"Don't dare." The white blind man shook his head and said, "I just think Ma Zhengyi is only afraid that there is some secret." I've been thinking, who are Ma Zhengyi going to meet in the middle of the night? ”

Chu Huan said: "In the vast desert, it is difficult to see a human figure, I really can't guess who he is going to meet." ”

The white blind man wanted to speak again and again, and finally said in a low voice: "My lord, in the vast desert, although it is difficult to find people, but ...... There are also sand bandits in the desert! ”

"Sand bandits?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What does Brother Bai mean, does it mean that Ma Zhengyi is going to make an appointment in the middle of the night, and he is a sand bandit?" ”

The white blind man hurriedly said: "I'm just talking nonsense, not necessarily right, it's good that adults have heard it." ”

Chu Huan thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Bai's words, it's not impossible, Ma Zhengyi is an old guest of the desert, and he knows the desert very well. ”

"That's why I feel that there is something wrong with Ma Zhengyi, he would rather win the bid than go into the desert, and the motive is obviously not simple." The white blind man said softly: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, Ma Zhengyi has not been in contact with us along the way, it is difficult for us to understand his heart, but our team is all priceless goods, and some people may not be unmoved." ”

Chu Huan touched his chin and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Ma Zhengyi has secretly colluded with the sand bandits and wants to seek our goods?" ”

The white blind man shook his head and said, "The matter is unknown, and it's really hard to guess." However, Ma Zhengyi is dead, and no one knows what he has in mind. ”

Chu Huan smiled, looked up at the night sky, at this time the wind and sand had stopped, the quiet night was cold, but the bright moon in the sky was very bright, patted the white blind man on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Bai, there is something I really want to ask you to do." ”

The white blind man immediately said, "My lord, but I have an order, just give orders." ”

Chu Huan leaned over and whispered in the ear of the white blind man, who bowed his head slightly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll go now." ”

"I'll give you a manpower." Chu Huan said softly: "When you leave, don't alarm anyone, you must be careful, along the way, I will leave a mark for you!" ”

The white blind man said yes, and the two got up and entered the camp together.

When Chu Huan came out of the camp, it was already past his prime, but he didn't feel sleepy, he walked back and forth around the camp with his hands behind his back, and looked at the camel rider's camp from time to time, as if he was full of worries.

Suddenly, Chu Huan stopped, frowned, looked at one place, and saw a figure slowly coming, but under the moonlight, the figure looked very lonely.
