After appeasing everyone's feelings, the patriarch distributed food and oxygen, and asked everyone to go back first, slowly waiting for the outcome of the matter, if the final negotiation failed, then it could only riot.

The blood gradually cooled, and everyone was also suppressed for a long time, and after returning to reality, they left the registration office in twos and threes

The cold night subsided, his body warmed up, and Rick fell asleep. I waited until the sun was shining and the temperature in the sandstone began to rise, and then I slowly opened my eyes.

The top of the sandstone is filled with gravel grains and has been cracked and weathered.

Moving slightly, Rick kicked away the sandstorm and cold sandstone with a kick. Suddenly a heat wave hit, causing Rick to frown uncomfortably.

Crawling out of his comfort zone, Rick took a deep breath in the hot, dry air, patted the sand and sandstone debris off his body, and walked behind the sandstone.

Carefully lifting the water gathering device that had been set up yesterday, Rick was pleasantly surprised to find that he was lucky.

The cup, made of iron sheets, was filled with more than half a cup of water.

Looking at Qing Shui, the smile on Rick's face was even worse. There's nothing more satisfying than getting clear water in the desert.

After cleaning the skin of the water bladder and picking up the large half glass of water, Rick resisted the urge to drink it all and drank half of it accurately.

Then all the "water bags" are dug out, and after eating a few, the rest are wrapped in water bladders and carried behind their backs.

The remaining half of the water was replenished by Rick into two large water bladders. Even in this bladder, there is a certain amount of water consumed.

After replenishing the consumption of the two large water bladders, Rick poured down the remaining bit of water and took a big stride towards the business road

Elongated scales, cold and insulated from most of the heat. The soles of the feet are wide and thick, so that the body does not sink into the soft grit.

A large amount of cargo and food was piled up on its broad, sturdy back, making the sand beast look bloated.

There were thick folds of flesh between his eyes, and his eyes were a little cloudy and dim, proving that this Shatuo beast was no longer young. The slow pace of the twilight made one worry even more worried about whether the cargo would crush the old Shatuo beast.

Three humans, dressed in desert robes and legs with coarse cloth leggings tied, struggled to follow the old sand beast.

One person is dark-skinned and of medium stature. A short knife pinned to his waist, and behind a thick abrasive cloth, only a pair of stubborn eyes could be seen. Crow's feet at the corners of his eyes make him look at least in his fifties.

Next to her was a petite young woman with a much brisk gait. Those light and lively eyes, even in the barren desert, still looked curiously left and right.

On the other side, there was a young man of about the same size as a middle-aged man. The young man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to the middle-aged man, and the two should be father and son.

However, unlike the stubbornness of middle-aged men, the demeanor of young men seems frivolous.

"Damn, why should I participate in this shipment?!" This is the first time that a young man has been lazy, so along the way, he can always be heard complaining and dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man had a bad temper at first glance, his two thick black eyebrows wrinkled, and he shouted: "If you don't want to follow, get out, Lao Tzu raised you for nothing!" "The fiery temper of a middle-aged man is warmer than that of a desert, just a little bit.

The girl next to her blinked her very smart eyes and lost her temper at the middle-aged man, but she didn't react.

The young man lowered his head, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes. The father's fiery temper has long made the young man a little unbearable, and the single-parent family without a mother, in addition to enduring the white eyes of others, also has to endure the fiery temper of the father from time to time at that time, and the young man who was often beaten by his father when he was a child has become more and more severe in his hatred of his father over the years.

Seeing that his son was silent, the middle-aged man suppressed the anger in his chest and rechecked the goods and food reserves.

Some time ago, the business was at a loss, and the middle-aged man came to the distant "Good Again" shopping for goods in order to make a comeback. Pressing all the family resources and adding the only remaining Shatuo beast, the middle-aged man made a big gamble.

If this batch of goods is successfully transported back to the Uss Empire and sold along the way, it is not an extravagant hope to make a comeback.

But because of the loss of the last business, Yan zhòng didn't even have the money to hire a guard. He could only bring out the son and daughter of the family together to act as a transporter.

Thinking of his daughter, the middle-aged man set his eyes on the lively girl next to him. Feeling her father's gaze, the girl's two big eyes bent hard, smiled sweetly at her father, and then kicked the gravel and played.

Normal people, in this kind of hot desert, don't have this kind of energy to play at all, and even if they had, they wouldn't do such a wasteful thing.

"Someone!!" The middle-aged man had been paying attention to the movements around him, and when he saw the figure that suddenly crossed the sand dune, he immediately let out a loud shout, grabbed the sand beast, and looked vigilantly at the man who slowly walked down the sand dune.

Dressed in clothes that didn't fit well, with that white skin that made people collapse, the middle-aged man pulled out a short knife and looked at Rick nervously.

The other party also has a short weapon on his body, and there are a large number of "water bags" connected to the rhizome on his back, and the two large water bladders around his waist are swaying slightly as he walks.

Looking at this person's posture, the middle-aged man who walked south and north breathed a sigh of relief, but the short knife in his hand still did not put down: "Don't get closer!" ”

Hearing this, Rick's footsteps slowly stopped, five or six meters away from the middle-aged man.

It's not a sand thief, the fair skin is excessive, plus two heavy water bladders and a wrap behind it, it should be a lost traveler.

Rick raised his hands and lifted the sand bandana, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I don't mean anything, I'm just lost." ”

The eyebrows that had just grown a little made Rick look fairer, and the appearance of his outfit and the smile on his face suddenly eased the atmosphere slightly.

The middle-aged man put down the short knife, not because he believed Rick, but if the other party was a sand thief, he didn't need to play this method at all, he just came over and grabbed it. After all, there are only three people here, and there is a lot of cargo.

Lowering his arm, Rick kept a smile on his face: "I'm going to Ironstone City, I don't know if you're on the way?" ”

The middle-aged man took a sip of water, and after making sure that Rick was not a dangerous person, his attitude became normal: "We also go to Ironstone City, but you can only follow behind." ”

The middle-aged man's meaning is very clear, Rick, a stranger, can follow, but not with him.

Rick was very happy to be able to follow, nodded, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, it's not a good feeling to be lost." ”
