Chapter 948: Sharp Edge

There is little rain in the north, which is where the sun shines, the days are long and the nights are short, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

When they arrived in the northwest, they couldn't adapt for a while.

However, due to the escape journey, it can only be so.

When he was on that mountain before, Pei Yuetong was also confused and hesitated.

However, she was not only burdened with her own life, but also the lives of everyone around her, including these guards.

Pei Yuetong made a decision at that time, if he sat still and waited for death, even if the mountain road was hidden, he couldn't help but have someone to search for it.

The people who came to hunt them down were not good stubbles, and it was only a matter of time before they searched down the hill and found the path.

Therefore, after Pei Yuetong's injuries improved somewhat, he immediately led people out of the cave and marched northwest.

However, in the northwest, it is not as good as the Central Plains, and it is not as good as the capital, and it is dry and does not rain all year round, so the soil here is also extremely loose, and finally gradually evolved into sand.

Because it's all desert, and it's full of flying sandy beaches.

The sun was shining, and they were sweating profusely, but the moisture was not sufficient.

With such a living environment, I am afraid that few people can survive here.

However, after some visits and inquiries, they later asked the local people, and although there are few people here, they can still meet some people.

But it seems that from these mouths, there is only one answer.

There is a legend in the desert that Haizi appeared on the edge of the desert and could not enter the desert.

"When did the legend of this place first come to fruition?" When Pei Yuetong heard this legend, he was still a little jealous in his heart, as the saying goes, the gods of good folk are often unbelievable, on the one hand, because this is a god-like existence that the locals believe in very much, and on the other hand, he can't take the lives of a lot of people because he doesn't believe it.

"Speaking of the anomaly here in this desert, it was not often seen in the past few years, whenever there was a sea at the edge of the desert, some people did not listen to the persuasion to enter, it would be like being swallowed, and they would never see it again, so the legends here say that the sea on the edge of the desert can eat people, but it seems that such a thing has happened again in the past two years!"

This is a local old man who is a little older, his long beard occupies a large part of his face, and he bends his waist to talk to Pei Yuetong.

"Has anyone been in there in the past two years?" Pei Yuetong still wanted to have a certain understanding of this matter, so he wanted to inquire with the local old man more clearly.

"Oh, girl, don't you know, since the phenomenon of cannibalism happened here frequently in the first two years, few people have entered this desert for employment, after all, life is important, life is important!" This old man kept saying that life matters.

Pei Yuetong inquired about a few nearby people, all of them were almost the same, probably in the past, this was also a very prosperous place, because it was located in a place connected to the border with southern Xinjiang, so there would often be people who came and went here to do business to buy and ship, but because in the past two years, there have always been some businessmen who have entered the desert and rarely come out, and the business here is also a lot more deserted, and the people who enter and leave the desert are naturally much less.

Pei Yuetong nodded thoughtfully, thinking that since the situation in front of him was unknown, and he was leading such a group of people, plus the scholar had not joined him for a long time, he would enter the desert so recklessly, and it would inevitably happen to some unexpected situations, so it would be better to respond to all changes for the time being.

"Let's still recruit an inn nearby to stay temporarily, observe for a few days, and see the specific situation before leaving!" Pei Yuetong ordered everyone to follow her to the inn to rest temporarily.

In order to facilitate the observation of what will happen at the edge of the desert, Pei Yuetong looked around for an inn that was more suitable for observation, and finally decided to live in an inn close to the edge of the desert, which was not only at the edge of the desert, but also at a large three-way intersection, so that it was also convenient for him to meet for a long time.

The evening on the desert is really a lonely desert, a scene of the sunset on the long river, all the colors of the sunset in the dusk reflect the entire desert in the distance, the air is the smell of dust and sand, the wind and sand seem to have become bigger, and the temperature is much lower than in the daytime.

Pei Yuetong put on his coat and looked at the vast desert, there was no end in sight, only layers of sand dunes came into view, and the only rare edge of the desert appeared in the so-called Haizi in the mouth of the local people, but nothing strange happened.

Pei Yuetong waited for several days, but did not find any abnormalities.

Pei Yuetong thought that if he entered the desert at this point in time, although he couldn't see anything abnormal for the time being, he was worried that he couldn't find them when he followed the clues, and it would make both parties very worried, so it was better to wait here for a long time.

After looking for Pei Yuetong at the bottom of the mountain for a long time, he still didn't find any clues, and Xu Jiu'an suddenly thought that Pei Yuetong had been injured at that time, and there were no pharmacies such as medical halls nearby.

"We asked the nearby farmers one by one if they had seen an injured girl, so that we could narrow it down a little bit and find it better." Jiu'an ordered his men to disperse to a nearby farmer's house to ask if they had seen an injured girl.

Sure enough, after door-to-door questioning, a farmer came out and said that they had seen it, and that they had gone to the mountains to collect medicine at the girl's request. Later, for a long time, he troubled the farmer and took them to the place where Pei Yuetong used to collect medicine.

"Then the group of them went to this path, and walked in the northwest direction, I heard that they were going to a place with a desert," Xu Jiu'an listened to what this farmer said, and he was very sure that the person who was going northwest should be Pei Yuetong and the others.

Finally Xu Jiu'an followed the northwest direction, along the way Pei Yuetong left them clues along the road, Xu Jiu'an followed the clues all the way to the northwest, and finally arrived at an inn at a three-way intersection, asked a few inns one by one, and then knew the inn where Pei Yuetong was, and met Pei Yuetong at the inn near the desert.

Pei Yuetong saw that he had rushed over safely for a long time, and he also felt a lot more relieved. "You've finally arrived, and I wonder how long you'll be delayed on this road?"

Xu Jiu'an replied with a smile: "It's just that there was a long delay in the farmer's place at the bottom of the mountain, and I was in too much hurry when I separated, so I didn't come and could tell me, so I was easy to find." ”

Xu Jiuan suddenly remembered that Pei Yuetong still had injuries on his body, so he asked eagerly: "Are the injuries on your body better?"

Pei Yuetong endured the pain and said with a smile: "I picked a lot of herbs from the farmers, and applied a lot of them, which is also much better." ”
