The girl's name is Ruxian, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is indeed an ethnic minority living nearby, and more than ten miles to the west is the village of Xiaoru Xian.

Seven or eight cowhide water bags, one is estimated to have seventy or eighty pounds, heavily pressed on both sides of the two camels, if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that it has already been pressed to move, but these two camels, still do not hurry and slowly swim away, Xu is for many years has already adapted to the sand road under the feet of the heart thousands of times, even if the eyes are slightly closed, it is extremely easy.

Xiao Ruxian was waiting for the two camels in front of the saddle and behind the horse, and Wu Wei was a little amused, but she didn't say that she was reluctant to sit on them at all, and even fed them some tender grass from time to time, waiting for them to move forward slowly.

"Are you really here for archaeology?" the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at the other two secretly, and asked curiously with a gesture, "I look at the two of them like bad people, and as for you, although you don't look like a good person, you shouldn't be a bad person." ”

I don't know what the benchmark of her judgment is, Wu Wei replied with a smile: "How can I see it, but you are right, they are really bad people, I was still kidnapped here by them." ”

Xiao Ruxian pouted and stuck out her tongue.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. ”

"Snort!" At this moment, a snow-white firewood suddenly came out of Wu Wei's chest, the weather was not as hot as before, and it was time for Chai Chai to come out to breathe, it squinted its eyes, looked around at the yellow sand, and its pink tongue was slightly spitting, but it looked extraordinarily well-behaved.

"What is this?" Ru Xian's eyes lit up slightly, and a girl's exclamation came out of her mouth.

When Chai Chai heard this, he glanced at a white eye, revealing a look of disgust.

It's just that no matter how white her eyes are, she can't stop the shining girl's heart.

Ru Xian stared wide-eyed, and stretched out his hand, Chai Chai is a creature with extreme agility, how can he be caught by a mere human, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into Wu Wei's arms.

"If you want to have a good relationship with it, you have to use jerky. Wu Wei stretched out his hand and took out the dried meat from the Qiankun bag, tore it in half, and the thick fragrance wafted out, and then he heard the sound of Chai Chai swallowing his saliva desperately, "Snort."

Ru Xian took the jerky in Wu Wei's hand and shook it in the air curiously, while staring closely at the place where the firewood disappeared, and Wu Wei smiled bitterly.

"Come out, she has no ill intentions. ”

After hearing Wu Wei's voice, Chai Chai poked his head out little by little, dodged, and obediently lay on Wu Wei's shoulder, but his little eyes were still vigilantly staring at the little girl.

As if realizing something, Xiao Ruxian quickly took off her veil and waved her hand to make a non-threatening appearance.

Under the veil, a delicate goose egg face is revealed, with bright eyes, exuding the youthful atmosphere of an exotic girl from the inside out.

Seeing the girl's gesture of goodwill, Chai Chai twisted his body and snorted twice, but the disdain in his eyes was still obvious.

"Take your time, feed more jerky on the road and it will be cooked. Wu Wei smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but think of the days when he drank wine and ate meat with Zhang Cheng and Zhou Yicheng Wu on Qingyuanmen, at that time, Chai Chai's first contact with them was also mixed for most of the days before they became acquainted, and he couldn't help but be a little trance-like for a while, and he didn't know what happened to Qingyuanmen after the war.

The yellow sand is all over the sky, the camel bells are leisurely, fluttering with the wind, the girl is teasing the firewood with dried meat all the way, the laughter is endless, the wind is very quiet, Xiao Luoqing squinted his eyes, did not say a word, and still passed by the bell from time to time, as if thinking about something.

Anyway, if you go all the way, Wu Wei also wants to know what Xiao Luoqing and Feng Lingxiao are looking for in this desert.

Along the way, Wu Wei talked about what happened outside from time to time, and with the help of Chai Chai's god, Xiao Ruxian also let go of his heart and warmed up a lot, and after a while, Wu Wei already knew a lot of news.

It turns out that Ruxian's village was originally a very lively transit station in the desert, and since ancient times, merchants or travelers who want to go to the depths of the desert have to pass through here, so most of the local people make a living by buying and selling some sand dates, fruits and vegetables, water and other supplies, but they do not worry about their livelihood.

However, since the sudden appearance of a large group of strange creatures in the desert three years ago, the situation in the village has been getting worse every day. These creatures were the creatures that Wu Wei and the others called desert worms, as well as the giant desert lizards they had seen before.

This sudden creature lurks in the sand sea, where the desert worm likes to move in groups, and the desert lizard is entrenched near the water source of the oasis, waiting for the rabbit to prey on passers-by for water.

Within a few months, the merchants and travelers along the route were afraid to return, and the livelihood of the village became a problem.

At first, they had to beg the nearby garrison corps to come and solve the problem, but even the largest corps, once they went deep into the sea of sand, they immediately fell into a helpless situation, these desert creatures are not only fierce, but also cunning by nature, they live in the desert, the mobile troops of the large army can not penetrate into it at all, if they chase them closely, it is extremely easy to fall into the sand pile, and kill them.

Therefore, after one or two more dispatches, the garrison gave up the encirclement and suppression.

Most of the young people in the village today have to leave their homes and go to live in nearby towns, leaving only most of the old, weak, sick and disabled who do not want to leave their homeland, still struggling to survive.

"Are you saying that as long as you hear the sound of this bell, those strange beasts will not attack you?"

Ru Xian nodded silently: "I heard the elders in the village say that our village was originally full of disasters, but since the strange man who gave us this bell appeared, our village has not been affected by disasters since then, and even the annual black sandstorm has never appeared again, and the village elders all say that the person is a goddess sent by heaven." ”

"Goddess, that strange person, is it a woman?"

"Well," Xiao Ruxian nodded, "the elder said that she looked like a young woman in her figure, and sometimes she would often chat with the grandmothers in the village and inquire about the legends in the neighborhood. ”

If the guess is correct, it seems that that person should be a seal cultivator, but what is that person going to this desert for, Wu Wei's gaze swept back slightly, but he found that Xiao Luoqing's expression at this moment had not changed.

"It's here!"

Towards evening, everyone finally saw a small village almost buried by yellow sand, several tall loess buildings, which are the tallest buildings here, but from a distance, they are like sand dunes in the yellow sand, if there are no lights, it is difficult to distinguish at all.

"Little Ruxian, you are back. In the flickering light of the wind and sand, a kind old man slowly appeared, "Who are these?"

"Grandpa, I came back with water, and I brought a few guests. Xiao Ruxian gestured, smiling.

"It's good to come back safely. The old man touched Xiao Ruxian's head as if he was looking at his granddaughter, but he looked at the three people behind him.

"It's a guest from afar, come here, it's windy and sand outside, a few guests have worked hard, follow me into the house to rest, Ruxian, you also want to change your clothes, and you will come to my house to eat together." ”

"They came to see the goddess's dwelling. Xiao Ruxian nodded, gesturing and explaining to the old man, "They seem to have the same spells as the goddess." ”

The spell that the girl said was the Qiankun bag that Wu Wei used on the road before, and this kind of technique of taking things from the air can already be regarded as a great magic power in the eyes of mortals.

The old man was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly showed respect: "Three, I am the village chief here, everyone calls me Elder Moyi, the wind and sand are strong outside, a few guests come in first and sit." ”

It seems that there have been no guests visiting for a long time, the old man's voice caused a commotion around, and for a while, the surrounding villagers came in one after another, looking at the three people curiously, but among the people in this village, most of them are women, children and children, but it is rare to see young and middle-aged men.

"Alas, Xiao Ruxian, why did you bring some outsiders here, let's hurry out, look at their down-and-out appearance, it is obvious that they are in trouble in the desert, so they have to pay a lot of food for nothing. At this moment, a young man stood up and said with a disgusted look.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Ruxian waved his fist, and when he saw the man coming, he immediately glared at the other party fiercely.

"Ali, shut up, since they have come here, they are our guests, so you don't make trouble here. , looking at your idleness, I'm angry, and I don't want to do something, so hurry up and do what I should do. The old man frowned and scolded loudly, and the people around him also looked disgusted.

"Hey, yes, old man, you're a dog biting Lu Dongbin, I'm a person who will soar sooner or later. The man looked like he was not stingy, but his eyes fell on Xiao Ruxian's face, and he smiled, "Xiao Ruxian, don't stay with these old immortals, wait for my brother to find the treasure, take you outside to see the world, buy you a few good clothes, eat and drink spicy." ”

Xiao Ruxian frowned, she couldn't understand Ah Li's words, but she definitely knew that it was not a good word.

"Get out of !!" Na Moyi Village Chief finally couldn't bear it, picked up the crutches in his hand, and threw it at the man's head, beating Na Ali with his head and running away, and didn't forget to drop a sentence, "Let you underestimate me, sooner or later there will be a time when you will regret it."
