"Squeak-"

A sharp whistle sound came from behind a sandy slope, and then, a flower-winged falcon quietly glided from behind the sandy slope, a pair of brown eyes with golden rings staring closely ahead, but two sharp claws suddenly poked out, hooked a running vole, and then flapped its wings twice, and crossed a beautiful arc in mid-air, and went straight into the sky.

A broken felt hat poked out carefully from behind the mound, and under the broken felt hat was a dirty face with a pair of smart black eyes, but at this moment these beautiful eyes were full of disappointment.

The vole was used to catch the falcon, and now the falcon ripped the thread in his hand and snatched the vole.

"Dog robber!"

Xiao Yuhua looked at the eagle falcon that had disappeared into the clouds and scolded in a low voice, and stood up with his fat sheepskin pants.

This is a large area of red sandstone land, because it cannot hold water, so there are only a few saxon and drought-tolerant plants of red willow growing here.

At the edge of the red sandstone field, Xiao Yuhua saw a sand date tree, he cheered, and turned a hollow somersault from the high sandy slope and landed firmly on another piece of red sandstone, and his feet wrapped in cowhide left two wet footprints like cow's hooves on the red sandstone.

His body jumped like a projectile on the patchwork of red sandstone, and it didn't take much effort to come to the edge of the rare sand date palm tree.

The dates on the date trees had turned red, some of them even turned crimson, and as for the leaves of the date palm tree, which looked like they had been smeared with a layer of silver powder, they did not change color at this time, but some of the leaves that were too stubborn fell to the ground.

Xiao Yuhua is very experienced in eating sand dates, and only those really ripe sand dates will fade away the astringency, leaving a trace of sweetness.

After Xiao Yuhua collected a handful of ripe sand dates, he stopped picking, this thing must not be eaten more, after eating too much, it is extremely unfavorable to the back door, he doesn't want to repeat that experience.

Sand dates need to be eaten one by one, and people who stuff a mouthful of sand dates to eat are fools, and there is no way to open their mouths that are astringent.

The red sandstone fields do not hold water, but there must be water sources around the large red sandstone fields.

After passing through a strangely shaped red willow bush, Xiao Yuhua came to a pool of clear spring water.

He looked around cautiously.

He crouched down again and listened carefully to the movements around him.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the red willows, causing the branches to rub together, so Xiao Yuhua knelt on one knee and put his mouth on the water to swallow the water.

A rope suddenly bounced up from the spring and strangled his neck tightly, Xiao Yuhua was taken aback, and grabbed the rope with both hands, trying to untie the rope, but the rope had already been strangled into his flesh, causing him to be unable to breathe.

I can only desperately hold on to the rope to snatch a little space for myself and breathe.

Two strong men in leather clothes ran out of the red willow bushes laughing, one pulling a leather rope, and the other opening his arms to catch Xiao Yuhua.

Xiao Yuhua nimbly ran around the waterhole, and as he ran, he drew his knife and slashed at the leather rope.

Looking at the silver-white iron wire under Piso, Xiao Yuhua let go of his hands, walked two steps briskly on the ground, and then jumped up and slammed his shoulders into the strong man holding Piso.

The strong man laughed, raised his leg is a kick, and was ready to kick Xiao Yuhua over, and then tie it up, but he didn't expect to kick it in the air, the small knife in Xiao Yuhua's hand was deeply inserted in his shoulder, and with the knife as the origin, he circled half a circle in mid-air, and the sand date wooden peg in the other hand pierced into the back of the strong man's erect neck.

At this time, the strong man who was chasing him rushed over with a shout.

Xiao Yuhua put the piso away.

This is a good thing, the rope is twisted with iron wire that can only be made in the Chang'an workshop, whether it is used to kill people or tie things, it is the best.

When the strong man in leather saw that Xiao Yuhua was no longer running, his steps towards Xiao Yuhua became slower and smaller, and he rushed out obliquely before he walked through the waterhole.

Seeing that the strong man's figure disappeared into the red willow bush, Xiao Yuhua followed unhurriedly, this red willow bush was his home, and no one could be more familiar with this place than him.

After a while, a large area of red willow bushes swayed, and after a while, Xiao Yuhua dragged the body of the strong man back to the edge of the waterhole again.

I didn't catch the falcon today, but I caught two fat sheep, Xiao Yuhua was still very satisfied, and he didn't live up to his pretense these days.

He took off the boots from the corpse first, retching at the stench coming from the boots, and then quickly buried all four boots in the hot sand to remove the smell.

Then he carefully peeled off the clothes of the strong man, and when he saw that there were dense lice and lice crawling everywhere, he buried these clothes in the hot sand again.

The sand in the west of the river is hot during the day and cold at night, and it only takes two treatments, one day and one night, and these parasite-infested clothes are clean.

Xiao Yuhua left them a crotch cloth, which was the last trace of decency.

He found the two men's bags in the bushes, and when he opened them, he threw away all the dates that were hidden in his pockets, for they were full of food, and five pieces of cured mutton were enough for him to eat alone for several days.

Looking up at the sky, at this time, it was not the time to light the fire, he had to sigh, cut the cured mutton with a knife and eat it on the naan cake, and when he was thirsty, he lay down and drank another sip of water.

The wind on the Gobi has cooled down since the afternoon, and now you can feel the coolness blowing on your body.

Xiao Yuhua hurriedly cut open the wound of the strong man's corpse with a knife, so that the blood that had not yet come to remember the coagulation continued to flow for a while, he quickly smeared the blood on his face, and also inserted a bloody knife into his armpit, if he didn't look carefully.

It would also be thought that he was also a corpse impaled by a sharp blade.

Xiao Yuhua lay on his stomach for a long time, obviously feeling that the enemy had come to his side, why didn't he send half a warning signal from his body?

Moreover, there was an indescribable sweet fragrance that had always enveloped him, making him reluctant to open his eyes.

"You're eating human flesh?" A soft and glutinous woman's voice that made Xiao Yuhua's heart tremble came.

Xiao Yuhua knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he turned around, got up, and continued to squat on the ground to cut mutton and eat.

In the middle, in order to hide his wildly beating heart, he lowered his head and drank two sips of water.

"Are you drinking my bathwater?"

The water that Xiao Yuhua had just drunk was all squirted out by this sentence.

Through the locks of hair that were stained with blood, Xiao Yuhua glanced at the woman in front of him, and felt that she was so clean, and drinking her bath water was not a big problem.

"There's water here, why don't you wash yourself, my brother is different from you, he cleans himself up no matter what."

Xiao Yuhua carefully shrank his bull-like feet back, because his lowered gaze saw a pair of red boots branded with flowers on this woman's feet.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to catch slaves, besides, if you are a Tang person, others don't dare to catch you as a slave."

The Master of Good Deeds said, "During the three days we were stationed here, you peeked at us for three days and stole a bag of salt and a jar of wine, and the Master of Good Deeds was about to chase things back, but later found out that you had given salt and wine to an old beggar, and he didn't arrest you, and said you were a good person."

Hey, aren't you a good person?"

Xiao Yuhua looked up at the fairy-like orchid in front of him, and wanted to speak, but for some reason after seeing Naha's smiling face, he quickly lowered his head.

He was very worried that if he spoke, he would scare away this beautiful and good-speaking orchid.

"It turned out to be a fool," Naha sighed, thinking that this guy was as powerful as his brother, but he didn't expect to say so many things and get no response, Naha thought he was a fool and felt that he didn't need to say too much to a fool.

"I'm not stupid"

Naha, who was about to leave, got a response, so she came to the edge of the waterhole, lifted her skirt and squatted on the ground, looked at Xiao Yuhua and said, "You killed these two bandits?"

Xiao Yuhua hung his head and said, "They are not bandits, they are voles."

Naha stood up and kicked at the corpse and said, "Liar, they're people, not voles."

Xiao Yuhua said, "Those who live underground are voles"

"That's not necessarily, marmots also live underground, let me tell you, my brother's roasted marmots are delicious, have you ever eaten marmots?"

Xiao Yuhua raised his head in astonishment, he really couldn't connect the beautiful orchid in front of him with a pair of big teeth.

Naha wiped her saliva and said, "Little beggar, look at what you see, and then look at gouging out your eyeballs."

Xiao Yuhua hurriedly lowered his head, and heard Naha say again, "The corpses of these two thieves don't dare to waste it, if you stick them on a wooden pole, one in the south and one in the north, I guarantee that this large red willow forest is your territory, the only bad thing is that it stinks, but you are so dirty, you shouldn't dislike it, right?" When the flesh is rotten, and washed away by the rain a few times, the corpse will turn into a skeleton."

When the time comes, others will not dare to enter your forest when they see the skeleton."

Xiao Yuhua said in surprise, "Are you a Cypriot?"

Naha was pleasantly surprised, "You know the Cypriots, too?"

Xiao Yuhua said, "Only you pluggers have the habit of poking corpses on poles to scare others."

By the way, I haven't asked you yet, which king's orchid are you?"

Naha was furious.

kicked Xiao Yuhua on the shoulder and said, "My name is Yun Na."

You can also call me Naha, I'm no one's orchid, if you have to say yes, I'm my brother's orchid!"

Xiao Yuhua held his head and let Naha keep kicking him, he didn't think about taking this beautiful little orchid away and selling it for money, the problem was that there were still several bald heads in the red willow bush who were tanned by the sun.

His instincts told him that if he dared to have the slightest ill thoughts about this little orchid, he would be beaten into a pulp with sticks by those rampaging monks.
