Facing Zhao Yu's inquiry, He Yifan shook his head and said, "Maybe I'm really sleepy, I have too many things mixed together in my head, and I can't talk about it for a while, so I'll tell you about it slowly in the future." It seems that we can't find out what is wrong with this incident, so let's report it together when we see Master Hongyue. ”

At this moment, Hu Wenji called them from below, and the two went back to the camp together.

There were about 300 people in the mission and caravan of the Yuewen Division, including about 100 armed men, and they were attacked by more than 300 sand thieves two days ago. The caravan that was in distress yesterday originally had more than fifty people, and after only one day and one night of escape, there were now only twelve people left.

Yifan saw that Cui Lin was still wearing a white robe and a white headscarf, and put on the veil again, revealing only a pair of eyes. She quickly entered the caravan brought by the mission, and did not appear for a long time.

The mission rested for another half day, counted the casualties, and cleaned up the battlefield. Then set off slowly, and continued eastward as originally planned.

Because half of the sand thieves who were chasing before were persuaded by Cui Lin to lead a caravan away, the armed forces of the mission did not suffer much damage, so they also took over the defense of the old man's caravan.

Yifan and Zhao Yu were dismissed on the first day of their tenure, and the old man met with the two of them again and said that he would still pay as promised. This time it was Zhao Yu's turn to be embarrassed, and he resigned again and again, saying that he could not accept it if he had no merit. The two also learned that the old man turned out to be the president of the second largest chamber of commerce in the desert, Shi Zhiqiong, who monopolized the mining industry in the Southern Desert, and was not inferior to the Dream Garden in terms of economic strength, but it was not as famous as the Dream Garden. So they were even more puzzled why such a powerful figure would take on the job of being a suicide bait, and they also favored Cui Lin, who was only the second daughter of the clan chief.

The two slowed down and marched to the end of the entire procession, and Hu Wenji was rarely at ease, so he rode with them. After learning that Hu Wenji was just a mercenary of the caravan, the two of them talked about the doubts in their hearts to Hu Wenji.

Hu Wenji had a good impression of the two, so they talked eloquently and endlessly.

"I don't know why the Sand Pirates chose this time to attack, but as far as I can see, the mission must be carrying very valuable treasures, so the Sand Pirates will not hesitate to take risks."

The conversation quickly shifted to the girl in white.

"Cui Lin? She is a very attractive girl, I have never seen a girl as focused, resilient, brave and beautiful as her. ”

Zhao Yu asked about Hu Wenji's personal situation again.

"My father came from the West, a country that was further west than Slan. He embarks on the road to the East in search of his daughter, who has been snatched by slave traders, and after successfully crossing the Western Desert alone, he arrives at the Ancient City of Rain Shadow, where he loses all clues. Because the mining industry in the Southern Desert was developed and slave labor was widely used, he chose to march to the Southern Desert. ”

"This is a respectable father, and it's amazing to be able to cross the Western Desert alone." Zhao Yu said, "Then what?" ”

"Then he met my mother, who was an ordinary tribal woman, and the two fell in love at first sight, and then they had me."

"But my father didn't give up looking for my half-sister, so I became a mercenary at the age of thirteen. In this way, I followed the caravan around, looking for clues about my sister. ”

"So what did you catch?" Zhao Yu suddenly thought of Yufie, she also had golden hair and blue eyes, "For example, how old is she?" ”

"According to my father, I should be about forty years old by now."

Zhao Yu didn't expect that at this age, the sister that Huwen was looking for would not be Yufie. But if she's her age, how old is Huwen?

"And how old are you?" Zhao Yu continued to ask.

Hu Wenji turned his head to him and said, "I'm twenty-one years old this year. ”

"Then your father is longevity..."Zhao Yu was shocked. Because Hu Wenji looked very mature, he always thought that Hu Wenji was ten years older than them.

"My father is seventy-eight years old this year, and I just met him last month."

Zhao Yu admired the physical strength of the old-timers even more, thinking about it, it is true, only such a fierce man can cross the Western Desert alone, and he can still have a son at the end of his life.

"My father is well-informed and has studied the history of the West and the desert. If you have any doubts about this, you can ask him for answers. Before leaving, he said that he was conducting research on the oldest legend in the desert, 'Dragon Yuan'. ”

Hearing the term "Long Yuan", Yifan, who was silent on the side, was suddenly shocked. Only then did he determine that what he heard last night was not the delusion and catharsis of a girl who was crushed by pressure, but the shadow that really existed and was not known, but which has been oppressing on everyone's head.

Cui Lin, the second daughter of the patriarch of the Yuewen tribe in Nanmo, was sitting alone in her caravan at the moment, holding her knees with her hands and her forehead on her knees. Even though she had not slept all night and was exhausted, she still couldn't sleep.

I thought that last night's talk would at least allow me to sleep peacefully in a safe environment after venting all the depression in my heart. But obviously, I was still trapped in a state of tension and anxiety from which I could not close my eyes.

If it is like He Yifan said, he has taken on too heavy responsibilities and has too much sense of mission, so that he oppresses everything for himself. Being excluded and misunderstood in the family, the irritability of running around for days after the mission, and the fear of being chased and killed by sand thieves and fleeing, have made them unable to support it. It would be nice if someone could be there to help you. He Yifan made her see hope, and he was moved by everything she had endured, but in the face of his invitation, he still refused and would not join her team.

I asked him very unproductively why he rejected him, but he didn't expect it to have nothing to do with money and faith, he simply said something like this: "I have my own ideals, although not so great, I also have someone I have to protect, even if she has always been stronger than me." ”

On the one hand, the order of the entire family bent on forming an alliance with the Dragon Federation to fight for control of the desert was irresistible, and his father's entrustment before leaving was so vivid. The situation in the Southern Desert has reached the point of losing peace, what should I do for the tribal people? Will Long Yuan's prophecy come true, and to whom should the secret that his father let him keep be delivered? ……

One question after another was thrown out, and there were no answers at all, and even the strength of yesterday's hug was gradually fading. Cui Lin's tears burst out of her eyes involuntarily, her shoulders kept twitching, trying her best to suppress her choked voice, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
