The sky was bright.

There is still yellow sand in front of me.

In this desert, the yellow sand is eternal.

In comparison, the two big horses walking side by side seemed very small.

"Why horseback riding? And not a camel ride? Li Yang hugged the child in his arms and asked lazily.

"If you don't go out of the customs, you don't travel far, so naturally there is no need to ride a slow camel, why, you don't like horseback riding?" The gold inlaid jade is a matter of course.

"I just feel more comfortable riding a camel." Li Yang was telling the truth.

Since he rode a camel with Jin Zhuyu last time, Li Yang has discovered this fact.

Especially when two people are crammed between the narrow and soft double humps of camels......

It's not like now, huddled with a little boy.

Li Yang lowered his head and pinched the face of the little boy in his arms, "Can you change positions with your big sister?" ”

Before the little boy could speak, a voice sounded next to him, "Ignore him." ”

“…… Oh. The little boy bowed his head weakly in response, compared to the gentle Li Yang, he felt that it was safer to listen to the words of the fierce gold inlaid jade.

Jin Jianyu obviously saw through Li Yang's thoughts, and glared at him, "I finally rescued these two little cubs, but I don't want to see them fall from their horses and die in the blink of an eye." ”

She was riding on another horse and holding a child in her arms, which was the girl among the two sisters and brothers entrusted by Zhou Huai'an.

The girl turned her head, looked at Li Yang, and called very politely, "Uncle." ”

Uncle?

Am I that old?

Li Yang couldn't help but touch his face, and when he felt the pricking feeling of the fine stubble in his palm, he was relieved.

The raunchy stubble is always secondary, more because the desert is too boring.

In less than half a month, the person became darker, his skin was rougher, and with this scum, a young man in his twenties was stunned to become an uncle.

However, compared to those real desert men, he is still in the ranks of little white faces.

"Am I saying something wrong?" The girl saw that Li Yang didn't react, and couldn't help asking.

"Nope."

Li Yang shook his head absently and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

The girl is really in trouble, "I want to ask my uncle, Uncle Zhou will be fine, right?" When will he come back? ”

Before Li Yang could speak, Jin Jiyu said strangely: "Zhou Huai'an entrusted you to me, and it's not him, he knows a fart, why don't you ask him if he doesn't ask me?" ”

The girl was speechless.

She can't say: it's you who are too fierce, but this kind uncle seems to be easier to talk to.

Li Yang obviously understood this, and he didn't break it, looked at the girl, and said in a harmonious voice: "Don't listen to this sister, just ask me, your Uncle Zhou will definitely be fine." ”

A happy smile appeared on the girl's face.

Jin Zhuyu is not as easy to fool as a child, and asked, "How can you be sure that Zhou Huai'an is okay?" He obviously had the intention of dying before, otherwise, he would not entrust the child to me, and he also said that he would drag all the people in Dongchang in the inn and buy time for me to take the child away. ”

Hearing this, the girl and the boy all looked at Li Yang worriedly, hoping to hear his answer.

Li Yang replied: "Zhou Huai'an is not so pedantic, when he sees that you and the child are gone, he can guess that you have taken the child to leave safely, and at that time, he will no longer need to fight to the death with the people of Dongchang, so he will naturally act at the opportunity and escape from the inn." ”

Speaking of this, he reached over and pinched the girl's face, "Don't worry, your Uncle Zhou's martial arts are very high, maybe he has escaped from the inn by this time." ”

"Really?"

"Of course."

Hearing Li Yang's affirmative answer, the girl and the boy looked at each other and cheered happily.

"It's you." Li Yang's attention returned to the gold inlaid jade.

"You're just leaving your shopkeepers behind?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Jin Jiyu said proudly: "Don't look at the sunspots, they can't do martial arts, but about the ability to escape?" How to survive in the desert? …… Ten Zhou Huai'an can't compare to them. ”

Li Yang deeply believes this.

Don't talk about others, let's just talk about gold and jade, originally Li Yang had a great risk of going by himself, losing his way, having no purpose, and even possibly colliding with Cao Shaoqin's army...... There are many dangers, but now with the gold and jade snake leading the way, all the problems are solved.

"Sister, where are you going to take us?" The girl still does not know the destination of this trip.

"Sister? The little mouth is quite sweet. Jin Zhuyu muttered, and did not hide it.

"The road we take is very remote, and we usually don't meet anyone, and in about half an hour, we will be able to reach the border city, and the thousand households guarding there are my friends."

"Officers and soldiers?" The girl screamed in fear, knowing that she and her brother were wanted criminals.

Jin Zhuyu saw her fear, "Don't be afraid, as long as the silver is in place, the thousand households don't care who you are, and the problem of money is even less worrying, this uncle next to you is a rich man." ”

As he spoke, Jin Zhuyu glanced at Li Yang, and a trace of depression crossed his eyes.

She had already known from her buddies that Li Yang had bribed Qianhu that day, and she only hated that she was not present that day, otherwise, the silver would not let Qianhu swallow it alone.

Afterwards, she secretly rummaged through Li Yang's room countless times, not to mention the silver, and she didn't even find a copper plate.

Where is the silver?

Is it on the body?

But every night she took Li Yang clean and didn't find it.

Jin Zhuyu was depressed and wanted to hit the wall.

Where the hell is this stinky candle hiding the money?

Of course, she would not be stupid enough to ask directly, but decided to observe silently in the following days, and after a long time, she didn't believe that Li Yang would not show her feet, and the time would ......

"Uncle, aren't we going to go out?" The girl looked at the gold inlaid jade with a strange expression, a little infiltrating, hesitated for a moment, and still went to ask Li Yang.

But the answer to her is still gold and jade.

"Out of customs? Don't think it's safe to go out of customs? I tell you, the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, and the customs are even more chaotic, in the Ming Dynasty, there must be a reason for killing people, but outside the gates, those Tartars don't need a reason to kill the Han people at all, and the men also said that it is good, at most it is a death, or they will be punished as slaves, and the women will ...... Hum! ”

Although Jin Jianyu didn't say it explicitly, it had already frightened the girl to the point that her face turned pale.

"And out of the customs, once something happens, it is really called every day should not be called the earth and the earth, on the contrary, as long as you are in this desert, you can't starve me to death, and in the same way, you two little cubs can't be hungry."

It's not good, but it's very real.

"Thank you, uncle and sister." The girl thanked her sincerely.

The boy thanked him as well.

Because there was no danger to his life for the time being, after this conversation, the boy was obviously much more lively than before, and looked up at Li Yang, "Uncle, can you teach me martial arts?" ”

No one kept up with the child's thoughts.

The girl was the first to react, and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "Little brother, don't talk nonsense." ”

Li Yang waved his hand, not caring at all, and asked the boy instead, "Why do you want to learn martial arts?" ”

Seeing that Li Yang was not angry, the boy plucked up his courage and said: "Because I want to be a chivalrous man like Uncle Zhou and you when I grow up, so that no one can bully me and my sister." ”

"Chivalrous? Just him? ”

Jin Jianyu glanced at Li Yang disdainfully, "Zhou Huai'an is a chivalrous man, he deserves it, he?" Hmph, don't talk about chivalry, prostitutes aren't even counted. ”

She has always had no taboos when she spoke, and Li Yang was used to it, so she didn't say anything, but the little boy asked curiously, "What is a prostitute?" ”

"Forehead ......" looked at the little boy's innocent eyes, Rao is gold and jade is also a little embarrassed, and there is always a feeling in his heart that he has taught the child badly.

"Little brother, don't ask again, sleep." The girl blushed and scolded.

"Oh." The boy replied aggrievedly, not knowing what he had done wrong.

Li Yang attached it to the boy's ear, pointing to the gold and jade, "See, she is a prostitute." ”

The undisguised voice seemed to be deliberately said to Jin Zhuyu.

Jin Jianyu suddenly became angry: "Stinky candle, what are you talking about, it's obviously true"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Yang pat the horse, the horse neighed, and ran forward, leaving the gold inlaid jade behind.

The newborn morning sun emitted a soft orange-red light, looking at it from afar, as if it had coated the back of Li Yang who was far away with a faint halo.

"It's so beautiful!" The girl exclaimed.

"Beautiful fart!"

Jin Jianyu was not in the mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, and shouted at Li Yang's back: "Hey! You stop for me, grass your father, you make it clear to me. ”

In response to her, there was only Li Yang's smug laughter getting farther and farther away.

Jin Jianyu couldn't help but scold a few times, and lowered his head to the girl in his arms and said, "See, right?" In the future, stay away from this kind of man, you can't take advantage of it at all, and you will always be the one who suffers. ”

"Sister, should we catch up?" The girl reminded weakly.

"Of course you have to chase, the old lady's shop is gone, the money is not earned, the loss is so big, you have to make up for it on him, drive!" Jin Jianyu slapped the horse fiercely, and the ruthlessness seemed to take the big horse riding under him as Li Yang.

The horse screamed and chased after Li Yang.
