The faint light of the fire fold illuminated the dark cave, Bi Xiao immediately snatched the fire fold in Wen Jian's hand and extinguished it, she walked the rivers and lakes with caution. The light of the fire will drive away the animals in the desert and will also attract them, and even the best martial arts in the narrow cave will make them more dangerous.

"It's getting dark soon, and the fire is very important to us."

Bi Xiao put away the fire fold, she was now very suspicious of how Wen Jian had survived in the desert before.

"It's okay, I have another one on me."

Wen Jian smiled proudly, he had always been prepared to do things, and as he spoke, he took out another fire fold from the cloth bag on his waist, and groped for it and put it in Bixiao's hand.

"You've really been to the desert?"

Bi Xiao reluctantly stuffed the fire fold back, Wen Jian's eyes usually saw more clearly than ordinary people at night, and he relied on the faint light from the hole to see Bi Xiao's undisguised expression, which made him laugh out loud.

"Flutter!"

People can't see in the dark, but their other senses will be more acute, and Bi Xiao can clearly sense that Wen Jian is trying his best to control himself from laughing, and he is a little annoyed for a while. Animals themselves can perceive the water and food that can keep them alive better than people, and this is the source of water, and it is difficult to avoid encountering predators, and the light of the fire will expose them more obviously, this guy really doesn't know anything.

"Don't worry, I've always had good luck."

Wen Jian obviously knew Bi Xiao's worries, he was afraid that Bi Xiao would be uncomfortable at first, after all, a man and a woman sitting in a narrow and dark cave for a long time would make people a little uncomfortable. He wished that the fire would be extinguished, so that he could look at her unscrupulously in the dark, and get closer to smell the faint scent of medicine on her body, which was the smell of the ointment he had made for Bixiaote.

"I've brought you the scar removal cream, so keep applying it."

"Hmm."

Bi Xiao subconsciously tightened her body, she did paint it every day, and she also brought a small bottle with her when she entered the desert, but how did Wen Jian know?

"Hungry, eat some preserves."

Before Bi Xiao could reply, Wen Jian accurately put the paper bag in her hand, Bi Xiao picked up a dried apricot and put it in her mouth, it was really sweet and delicious, there was such a delicious preserved fruit in the desert, and I don't know where he got it.

"I don't think you have suffered much, but you can enjoy it."

Bixiao made fun of him while eating candied fruit, a big man likes to eat such sweet things, and he doesn't forget to bring candied fruits to eat when he goes into the desert, and the second son of the Wen family is really a pile of gold and jade.

"Where, naturally, no woman has a wonderful life."

The corners of Wen Jian's mouth curved, and she casually said something ridiculous, but Bixiao's face changed, and she hooked the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly.

"Wonderful? The days when the tip of the knife licks the blood are generally called thrilling."

Wen Jian was slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and replied cautiously tentatively.

"You think that's pretty good, don't you?"

Bi Xiao held her chin in her hands, her heroic spirit wrinkled together, and there was a hint of confusion between her words.

"I don't know, three years ago, Xiang Jia asked me to pick guards to follow her, and then I became the leader, and then Clear Sky brought Ming to escort them, and then you will know everything after that."

"Take your time, you're not a family member now, you can have more choices."

Wen Jian understands the deep meaning, as a member of the Xiang family, she has obeyed the arrangement of the head of the family since she was a child, Bixiao really didn't have much choice before, and now she has to slowly adapt to it even though she is away from the Xiang family.

"One day, one life, you can't escape."

Bi Xiao smiled bitterly, picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth, the sweetness made her feel much better, she had never eaten sweets, she actually began to like this taste, it seemed to start from the halva handed by Wen Jian.

"I know a place, if you want, you can stay away from the strife."

Wen Jian's eyes sparkled with stars, if she wanted to, she could drop everything and accompany her wherever she wanted. In this narrow cavern, his fiery and sincere eyes made Bi Xiao no longer able to escape, and it would be nice if there was really such a place to see.

"Maybe, one day."

The wind and sand gradually became smaller, and the yellow sand dug by the two of them out of the secret hole, if the sandstorm was bigger, the hole of this person was afraid that it would be completely blocked.

Bi Xiao looked around, the outside had already changed into a different scene, she vaguely saw something crawling on the ground on the sand dunes to the north slowly approaching here, it didn't look like a human being, it should be some kind of animal.

"There's something over there."

Bi Xiao clenched his saber to hide his figure, and Wen Jian poked his head out from behind the stone wall, half-squinting his eyes to look at it.

"It's a lone wolf, it's not small, I don't mind giving it a ride."

"I'd better do it."

Bi Xiao raised his eyebrows, pulled out the dagger on his waist and slowly wrapped it behind the lone wolf, who was upwind at this time, completely unaware of the existence of the two. Wen Jian whistled, and the lone wolf looked ahead in a panic, and just as it hesitated, Bi Xiao quickly stepped forward and stabbed it through the neck with a knife.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Wen Jian praised again and again, she was so calm and calm in the face of the wolf, she was really ashamed of herself.

The two dragged the lone wolf to the city gate, and they had to find the camel tied to the stone wall of the city wall, knowing that it was difficult to get out of the desert without a camel.

After the sandstorm, the sunken riverbed has long been gone, and the original towering city wall has been buried more than half of the yellow sand, and only half of the ruins are still visible. The two walked to an open place similar to a square in the center of the city, and more than a dozen men in military uniforms covered in yellow sand greeted them, and Bi Xiao recognized them as Mo Yan's subordinates at a glance.

"To the Chief!"

The tall and sturdy man led by him took off the headscarf that covered his face, walked up to the two of them and bowed, he was the leader of more than a dozen people, and he was relieved to see that the two were safe. Bixiao returned the salute and briefly explained what he had just experienced, roughly explaining the location of the water source.

"The spring water is under the palace in the north of the ancient city, we have made a note all the way, and I bother the leader to send a few people to fetch water."

"Be careful, there may be wild beasts!"

Wen Jian added, pointing to the lone wolf corpse at his feet, and the team leader frowned and asked vigilantly.

"Are there wolves around here?"

Wen Jian glanced at Bixiao and replied with a smile.

"Wild wolves are mostly active in deserts, and there are few large carnivores in the desert hinterland. This wild wolf must have been lost from the sandstorm and found the water here by instinct, but unfortunately came across us."

"Very good!"

After hearing this, the team leader couldn't stop laughing, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to fetch water and make a fire, looking for camels and lost objects, and Bixiao walked to the highest place to send out a fireworks signal. After a while, two identical fireworks emitted from the sky in the distance, which meant that Qingtian and Wenye were all right.

The red sun was sinking in the west, everyone laughed and built a fire to prepare for the cooking of this rare game, and after the sandstorm, everyone was in great trouble, and now not only did they find a water source, but they also had fragrant roast wolf meat to eat, which was really worth celebrating.

Bixiao took a sip of water and rested against the stone wall, Wen Jian took off the headscarf and was still on her body, leaned against the fire and chatted with everyone.

"I suddenly remembered a story that the herdsman told me to relieve your boredom?"

Wen Jian's proposal was praised by everyone one after another, eating meat and drinking wine under the desert starry sky, and listening to stories, which was really a rare and beautiful thing.

"It is on the edge of the desert full of yellow sand, there is a perennial sand spring, many wild camels, Tibetan antelopes, Tibetan wild asses, wild yaks come here to drink, and it is also a great place for desert wolves to annihilate the animals that come to drink."

Wen Jian started first, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and he smiled and continued to preach.

"On this day, the dominant wolf king led eight evil wolves to lurk on the side of the spring early, quietly waiting for the prey to enter the market. But unfortunately, a herd of wild yaks mixed with more than a dozen Tibetan antelopes came to drink water.

The wolf king originally wanted to lead the crowd to catch the Tibetan antelope, but the Tibetan antelope was very smart, and they deliberately took advantage of the wild yak to come to drink water, so they followed to drink water. When the wolf king saw the wild yak's high-spirited posture, he didn't dare to act rashly.

It's hard to wait

When the wild yaks and Tibetan bell sheep were gone, another group of Tibetan wild asses came to drink water, and they couldn't catch up with them at all, so the wolf king had to give up."

Wen Jian stopped and took a sip of water, his eyes darkened and quickly returned to normal, and everyone stared at Wen Jian intently, waiting for him to tell the story.

"After waiting a long time, a wild camel led four large camels to drink, and in the middle of the procession there was a young camel. The opportunity did not come again, and the wolf king gave an order, and the eight wolves came out together and immediately surrounded the camel herd.

The wolves want to use deterrence to scare the camels away, and then take the opportunity to attack the young camels. However, the camels had already taken countermeasures, and when they drank water, the wild camels were on guard, and when they saw the eight wolves suddenly killed, they immediately chirped, and the four big camels quickly surrounded the small camels in the middle. The wolves could not separate the caravan by all means, and were sprayed with filth from their stomachs by wild camels."

"Oops!"

When everyone heard this, the aroma of wolf meat wafted from the fire, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward to share the food, but Wen Jian's words did not affect their appetite at all.

"Taste it too, Chief."

The team leader stuck a large piece of fragrant wolf meat in his dagger, and was just about to get up and send it to Bixiao.

"Thank you!"

Wen Jian smiled and took it in his hand first, turned around and handed it to Bixiao. Bi Xiao took it and tore off a small piece and tasted it, it tasted good, it seemed that they had spices on their bodies, and they were really a bunch of border veterans.

"Wen Gongzi will continue!"

Everyone remembered the story of the wild camel while eating wolf meat, and hurriedly called Wen Jian to urge him to continue.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly! The wolves who had suffered could not give up, and they hurriedly cleaned up the smoked vomit, roared angrily, and chased after them frantically. And the little camel was the target of the wolves, but the four big camels actually walked in the middle, and the wolves could not hit it in one hit.

The wolves kept tracking the way, and when the camel slowed down, the wild camel leading the way suddenly fell to its knees with its front hooves."

Wen Jian touched his right leg, a look of despair lingering in his eyes, and he lowered his head in deep thought. Suddenly, someone behind him patted Wen Jian on the shoulder, he turned around and looked, it was Bi Xiao who handed over a small silver wine jug, he hesitated and unscrewed the stopper and took a sip, his mood eased a little and continued.

"The wolves wanted to take advantage of the lame camel to attack the camel, but the camel got up again, limped after the camel, and rushed towards the wolf pack like crazy, and the wolves had to hide, but the wild camel fell to the ground again......
