Chapter 45: Do You Want to Live?
As the caravan approached, Su Jiu'er's face hidden under the sackcloth showed a trace of disdain.
In addition to the dry and pungent smell of sand emitted by the sun, there was also an incongruous smell in the scorching air, like blood, like carrion, and a strong smell of wormwood.
Su Jiu'er smiled and said in her heart, "This is the reason why those terrible things didn't attract in the dangerous desert." ”
Su Jiu'er, who has watched the survival show, is very clear about the great damage caused by small crises in the desert, no matter what era it is, the crises in the desert are likely to take people's lives when people are not aware of them, which is why as soon as she entered the desert, He Yuxuan nervously ordered her to apply medicine to Zhang Dasha.
And wormwood in addition to expelling mosquitoes, it can also block blood, and those blood-loving things will not be entangled, smelling the smell of wormwood, Su Jiu'er estimated that the other party might smoke it every few hours, and sure enough, there were several places in the caravan where gray-black smoke came out, and it was surrounded by the big box.
"The group doesn't seem to notice us." Su Jiu'er whispered.
He Yuxuan's folding fan lightly landed on Su Jiu'er's head and said, "Do you think they are as ghostly as you?" This small sand dune blocked their view, and they naturally couldn't spot us behind the dunes. ”
Su Jiu'er smiled and said, "Maybe the other party is too weak, I think our voice is not small." ”
"People in situations of high tension may seem to be very vigilant, but in fact they are average, or as you say, they are too weak." He Yuxuan said disapprerovingly.
Su Jiu'er nodded, He Yuxuan was not wrong at all, the more nervous a person is, the easier it is to make mistakes, and the easier it is to ignore the deadly danger, which is why the first lesson of the mercenary group includes controlling emotions, and why Su Jiu'er, who was young at the beginning, was thrown alone in the dangerous hunting area.
"It's time for us to play, too." Su Jiu'er said with a smile, that smile made people's hearts cold.
The people of the caravan were silent, and there was no conversation except as they moved forward.
Su Jiu'er took the first step and broke this strange picture.
"Hey, help, good Samaritan, save the poor child." Su Jiu'er shook her body to approach the caravan, and her mouth was still shouting loudly, not at all like a person in need.
The leader of the caravan was dressed in a black cardigan with a hat on his head, and his face could be faintly seen through the white gauze hanging down.
Su Jiu'er said in her heart: "The beard is a bit like the image of Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms, look at this outfit...... Well, it shouldn't be his, and I'm not afraid of dying of heat when I wear black, I don't know if black absorbs heat."
Su Jiu'er looked at the back of the leading man, the dress of those people was very different from him, not to mention the fabric style, even this comparison between the old and the new could not be compared.
"Who?" The other party is very vigilant, and there seems to be a hint of hesitation and ferocity in his nervous tone.
Su Jiu'er staggered and approached step by step, and only stopped when she saw him take out a dagger.
"Help me, I'm lost, please." Su Jiu'er's good voice pretends to be pitiful.
The man's face under the hat was a little gloomy, and he said coldly: "I'm not free!" ”
Su Jiu'er has 10,000 Cao Nima in her heart,! Saving people and saying that they are not available, okay, you are forcing me to use a trick.
"Help me, the Aoyama faction will thank you." Su Jiu'er disguised her hoarse voice, He Yuxuan and Zhang Dasha, who were hiding behind the sand dunes, glanced at each other, and walked out slowly while supporting each other.
"Big brother, as long as you take us out of this desert, someone from the Qingshan Sect will come, and they will thank you one by one." He Yuxuan said, his voice was also extremely weak.
Su Jiu'er felt a hint of coolness, and the cold gaze of the man opposite.
"Aoyama faction? What a coincidence of the Qingshan faction, it's time to avenge my face. The man lifted his hat, and a face covered with tiny knife marks appeared in front of everyone.
Su Jiu'er took a step back in astonishment.
It's disgusting, it's a car accident scene.
More than a dozen people behind the man also pulled out the hidden knives, and the dazzling knife light flashed so that Su Jiu'er couldn't open his eyes.
Su Jiu'er said in her heart: "This number of people doesn't feel right, it seems that you have to be careful." ”
"Hey, hey, whoever hurts you, you can go to whomever you want, we are innocent!" Su Jiu'er shouted in horror, this pretended appearance fell into the eyes of the man, but it became a real fear.
"If you want to hate, hate yourself for entering the wrong sect."
"Oops! Big brother, let's have something to say, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil. Su Jiu'er shouted.
"Kill them!" As soon as the man gave the order, more than a dozen people behind him rushed towards Su Jiu'er and the others with knives.
Su Jiu'er's eyes widened, and she pulled out the worry behind her.
"In that case, then I'll help the Qingshan faction get rid of a few jumping clowns."
The messy sword shadow was accompanied by a cold sword sound, and several people had already fallen into the sand, and the blood flowing from their necks stained the golden sand.
He Yuxuan opened the folding fan, looked at the leading man and said, "It seems that I overestimated you." ”
At the same time as the words fell, there was a man who fell down, and a pair of eyes widened the boss.
This move killed people and scared the few who were still alive to retreat.
"I ask you, but do you still have helpers?" Su Jiu'er asked.
Several people shook their heads in fear.
"Tell me, then, what's in the box?" Su Jiu'er asked again, but her eyes looked at the box that was tied up with five flowers.
This time instead of shaking their heads, they pushed out a person to talk back.
"There's a corpse in the box."
Su Jiu'er frowned and ordered, "Open!" ”
He Yuxuan took Su Jiu'er's hand and signaled her to be careful.
Su Jiu'er looked sideways, and put her worries on the shoulders of the trembling man next to her, "You'd better pray...... Your brother is not going to plot against me. ”
The man looked at Su Jiu'er timidly, his legs trembled, and his half-open mouth seemed to beg for Su Jiu'er's mercy.
Su Jiu'er sneered and ordered, "Open!" ”
Two men stepped forward, their eyes making eye contact with the fear in their hearts.
Su Jiu'er looked at the two men, one was thin, the other was slightly stronger, and the two were also wrapped in impermeable linen cloth to resist the scorching sun.
Suddenly, the two men turned and knelt down, kowtowing incessantly.
"Heroine spare her life, this wooden box can't be opened!"
"What are you going to play again?" Su Jiu'er smiled mockingly.
"Woman, once the wooden box is opened, we will all die."
Su Jiu'er couldn't help frowning, judging from the fact that the two of them were short of breath and trembling all over, they were indeed afraid, Su Jiu'er couldn't help but think about it for a while.
Their head is dead, and it stands to reason that it's no good to lie to me, but...... What if they want to get rid of me and go back to ask for credit? Or become a new head of the family.
Su Jiu'er rolled her eyes, removed the worry from the man's shoulder, and walked straight to the wooden box.
"Woman, don't!"
Su Jiu'er looked back at the person holding her two legs, and said helplessly: "I don't believe you, I can only do it myself." ”
"Woman, you must believe us, we can prove it with blood!"
After the burly man finished speaking, before everyone could react, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it in the chest.
Su Jiu'er was stunned, "You ......"
"Can't open the box!" The man still held on.
Su Jiu'er hesitated a little, looked up at the few living mouths that were left behind, and asked, "Do you want to live?" ”
