Chapter 99: There Are Good People in Other Places
At night, on the desert, only the cold wind is howling, which is even more desolate and empty.
On the yellow sand, there was a corpse, his head rolling aside, half of which had been covered by the yellow sand.
His luxurious clothes were even more tattered, full of knife marks, blown by the cold wind, and swaying with the yellow sand.
Not far in front of him, a hand was stuck in the yellow sand, and a short knife was held in the hand, the blade of which reflected a faint and cold light.
After a long time, the hand moved, and the knife fell into the yellow sand with a clatter.
Then, there was a muffled snort in the sand, and the yellow sand squirmed, and a bloody head arched out of the yellow sand, and after some struggle, he pulled his body out of the yellow sand.
He stood on the yellow sand, staggering, he glanced at the corpse on the ground, and wanted to bend down to pick up the knife on the ground, but a gust of wind blew his body to the ground.
I saw him prick a needle in the sand, and then he didn't move.
......
The barren moon sets, and the red sun rises.
The originally cold and desolate desert was suddenly covered with wind and sand, and it was difficult to bear the heat.
On the yellow sand, there were two people lying like this, motionless.
The caravan passed by, and a little boy on a camel suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to this side, shouting, "Daddy, there seems to be someone over there." ”
The camel team slowly stopped, and a man in the lead frowned, looked in the direction pointed by the little boy, and sure enough, he saw two people lying in the yellow sand, and most of their bodies had been covered by the yellow sand, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to find.
The man waved his hand, told the caravan to stop and trim, and then walked cautiously towards the two.
In this boundless desert, usually not even a bird can be seen, and now two people suddenly appear, it is an extremely strange thing, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things are impermanent, walking in the desert for so many years, he knows very well when to be cautious.
As he got closer, his steps stopped, his heart almost jumped out, and his eyes almost flew out of his sockets, because the man who was close to him didn't even have a head!
He involuntarily stepped back, and was about to leave with the caravan.
At this moment, the other person raised a hand, shook it weakly twice, and stopped moving.
This scene happened to be seen by the man who was constantly retreating, so although he was still retreating, his speed had slowed down a lot, and after retreating six or seven steps, he finally stopped.
He did not immediately go forward to check the man's life or death, but stood where he was and began to think carefully about how to choose.
Since that person can still move, it proves that he is still alive, at least for now, and if he and the others are gone, this person will definitely die, either from pain or starvation, or even to death from sunburn.
As a result, although they have a reputation of not being able to save them, they are not in any trouble.
If this person is rescued, not to mention that he has to take care of him along the way, there is not much water and food in the original place, and most of it is allocated to this person, and it is still unknown whether he can be saved.
If they can't be saved, they will waste food and water in vain, and if they are saved, they won't know the heels of this person at all, and now the two of them are lying in the yellow sand, one dead and one injured, and they don't need to think about it to know what happened.
Obviously, the two of them are not ordinary people, maybe it is the vendetta of the two masters of the rivers and lakes, or even the fight of the gods in the sky, who is good and who is bad in the two people, no one can say clearly, in case it is a heinous and innocent bad person who is saved, and then it will be just gone, in case a favor will take revenge, then the headless corpse lying on the ground, wouldn't it be their fate?
After a moment's hesitation, he turned and walked towards the caravan, and began to discuss the matter with the people, and then decided whether to save it or not.
The caravan was not very large, no more than twelve or thirteen in all, and among them there were three women, one child, and each with a camel.
After the man walked back, he slapped the three women before saying, "Master, there are two people over there, one is dead, and the other seems to be alive. ”
All three women wore hats with scarves on their heads, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.
After listening to the man's words, the other two women looked at the woman in the middle, who did not answer directly, but was silent for a long time.
The little boy suddenly said, "Daddy, since he is alive, then we should save him, if we leave him here, it won't be long before he will definitely not survive." ”
If you are a child, of course, no one will care.
A lean man suddenly said: "What to save, we don't know if we can get out of this desert alive, and we still save others." ”
The rest of the people also nodded in agreement, so that seven or eight people objected.
The little boy was so angry that he was angry
