The sky is like a cover, enveloping the four fields. The twilight town seemed to be dyed with a layer of golden light, and the dust in the sky was blowing with the wind, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

The boy took out the bronze monocular on his waist, held one end in one hand, and elongated the lens barrel, and the copper-colored barrel was full of mottled marks left by steps.

Looking at the big man lying on the horse, still unconscious, the child sighed, pulled the horse on, and by the afterglow of the setting sun, found a weathered ruin, tied the horse to the stump of a dead tree, and moved the people on horseback and saluted them, and placed them against the wall.

The child looked around for some dry firewood, dried animal dung, and the night was already in the general, and the stars gradually appeared in the night sky.

The boy skillfully lit the bonfire, poured the water from the kettle into a soft bucket made of cowhide, sprinkled a handful of salt, and put it in front of the horse, who immediately leaned his head over and drank it in a big gulp.

Seeing that the horses had drunk water, the boy took out the hay he had prepared, fed the horses one by one, and after a while, he walked to the edge of the campfire and sat down against the earthen wall.

Through the dim bonfire, he looked at the strange man who was still unconscious against the wall, took out a piece of cooked horse meat from the cloth bag with dry food in his bag, and ate it slowly.

"Shhh I don't know how long later, a gasping sound sounded, and the child who was sitting by the fire suddenly woke up, quickly turned his head, and looked vigilantly at the strange man who was gradually waking up.

The man is very burly, more than a head taller than the child, strong muscles and bones, tight bones, calluses on the back of the tiger's mouth and hands, and is obviously a perennial knife holder.

Wang Chong's consciousness gradually sobered up, sat up with his upper body propped up, looked at the little black man in front of him who was looking at him vigilantly, and opened his mouth to ask, "You saved me?" ”

"Hmm!" A sheepskin jacket, the face was dirty, the hair was unkempt, but the eyes were bright and scary.

Wang Chong hugged his fists and saluted: "Thank you, little brother!" Does Little Brother have water? As soon as Wang Chong's words fell, a cowhide kettle was thrown over.

Grabbing the spout of the kettle, tearing the stopper, and raising the kettle into the air, Wang Zhong drank it in a big gulp.

"You just woke up, you can't be with too much water." After a few sips, the little black man suddenly opened his mouth to remind.

Wang Chong is also a person who has spent decades on the Gobi Desert, and when the plug was re-plugged, Wang Chong showed a smile on his face and threw the kettle back: "Thank you, little brother, my name is Wang Chong, what do you call the little brother?" ”

"Brother!" Wang Chong was stunned! I couldn't help but take a closer look at the child, his unkempt hair, full of dust, his face was dirty, he was not tall, his skeleton was not big, he looked a little thin, he should be about fifteen or sixteen years old, the sheepskin jacket on his body was already covered with dust, and he had two short knives of about fifty centimeters on his legs.

Wang Chong looked at the short knife on the child's leg: "Brother the child is a swordsman at a young age!" Admire, admire! Brother Kid didn't answer, and chose to acquiesce.

"How did you faint on the Gobi Desert?" Brother Kid asked suspiciously, he checked Wang Chong when he picked it up, Wang Chong had injuries on his body, but they were all old wounds, and the wounds were all scars, at least several years old, but there were no new injuries, not even external injuries.

Wang Chong said with a wry smile: "I heard that there is a Shuangqi town in the Gobi Desert, and I wanted to go there to hide from the enemy, but I got lost while walking, and I encountered a sandstorm. "The system didn't arrange Wang Chong's identity at all this time.

"Hiding from the enemy? You are not an outsider" Brother Zi looked at Wang Chongdao, who was dressed in strange clothes, and there was still a little vigilance in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm from Guannei, and I provoked the enemy in my hometown, but I can't fight the enemy, so I can only run away!"

"You see, your skills shouldn't be bad!" Brother Zi said: "Your enemy is so powerful? "People who practice martial arts, to a certain extent, their muscles and bones will be stronger than ordinary people, and their qi and blood will be more vigorous.

"Hey!" Wang Zhong sighed and said with a wry smile: "No matter how good you are, you can't carry foreign guns, dozens of foreign guns come over, even copper and iron bones can't carry them!" Foreign gun: "What is that?" ”

"It's a new type of firecracker, do you know the firecracker?" Wang asked again. The boy shook his head. Wang Zhong gestured with his hand: "It's almost so long, an iron pipe, organic yellow inside, can be fired with bullets, the sound is as loud as thunder, very powerful, several layers of old cowhide, two or three fingers thick planks can be penetrated, and the speed is very fast, more than ten zhang away, when you hear the sound, the bullet has already hit you, and there is no chance to dodge." Brother Child's eyes widened, and he felt very novel: "It's so powerful, can you hit people from a distance of more than ten feet?" "Brother Kid is actually a child who is full of curiosity about everything, but he is a little shy.

"Not only can you hit people, but if you hit the vital parts, you can directly kill people!" Wang Chong said with a worried face: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have fled all the way to the outside of the gate." ”

"I hate my enemy's fish and meat township, do all kinds of evil, collude with corrupt officials, oppress the good, manage people's lives, and do a lot of evil, we are a famous bully there, children can cry when they hear his name, more evil than evil ghosts, some time ago my father died of illness, I have no worries, just saw the bully indecent girl, ready to sell people to the kiln. I couldn't look past it, so I killed him with a knife, and I blamed myself for not being good at learning and not being able to kill him, only slashing him twice, and it wasn't the point! But he was chased by his men and fled, and he went out of the customs in a hurry. Wang Chong punched his palm, hateful and hateful, this acting acting, put it in the real world, a proper actor-level, an old drama bone.

Sure enough, as soon as the child heard this story, his eyes immediately lit up, and the wariness of Wang Chong in his eyes disappeared, and he even subconsciously leaned towards Wang Chong.

"Brother Wang, how did you escape?"

"Then how can you escape, just run away on a horse, don't dare to turn back, and come all the way outside the gate."

"I was afraid that the man would not give up, so I thought about hiding a little farther away, and after a year or two, he relaxed his vigilance, and I was quietly touching back, cutting off his head, and paying tribute to the innocent people who were bullied to death by him." Wang Zhong said indignantly.

"Brother Wang Chong, you've been fainting for a while, you must be hungry, I have something to eat here!" The boy took out the food bag he had just put away.

Wang Chong raised his hand and patted Brother Child's shoulder, and said, "Brother Brother, Brother Child, Brother will not be polite to you!" After a few words, the two started talking, the child brother is young, and he has been living under his father's wing, and he is simple-minded, otherwise, he would not be fooled into giving his daughter-in-law's money to that bullshit ranger.

Wang Zhong gnawed on the horse's meat, and suddenly asked,

"Brother child, at your young age, why are you walking alone in this big desert?" The child grinned and said, "I'll go to Shuangqi Town to pick up my daughter-in-law!" ”

"Yo!" Wang Chong looked at the child brother in surprise: "I can't see it, brother child, you are so young, you even have a daughter-in-law?" ”

"It's my dad who gave me a baby kiss."

"What about your father?"

"My dad is dead!" The child's expression was a little dark, his father's death was also a big blow to him, and he was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the end.

"Sorry, I don't know!" Wang Chong looked apologetic.

"It's okay, if you're dead, you're dead, my father said that people are going to die sooner or later, he just took the first step, and I will die in the future."

"Ling Zun is open-minded!" Wang Chong's words were not all compliments.

"Lingzun?"

"It's your father!"

"What does that mean?" Brother Zi looked at Wang Zhong puzzled.

"That is to say, you can see clearly, you can see clearly, and there is no trouble." The child's education level is indeed a bit low. Wang Zhong asked, "Do you have any relatives and friends?" Brother shook his head and said, "My mother died a long time ago, and now I am the only one in the family." Wang Zhong said: "Brother child, you have no relatives and elders, and you are so young, so you ran over to propose marriage, I am afraid that you will encounter difficulties!" ”

"What difficulty?" Brother Kid's face is innocent.

"Have you seen your father-in-law and future daughter-in-law for so many years?" Wang asked again. The child shook his head: "No, my father only asked me to pick up my daughter-in-law in Shuangqi Town before he died." ”

"After so many years, do you dare to guarantee that your father-in-law will still be in Shuangqi Town?" The child was stunned and didn't know how to answer this question.

Wang Chongdao: "Now the inside and outside of the customs are not very peaceful, there are wars everywhere in the gates, and there are horse thieves rampant outside the gates, life is sad, not to mention whether you can find it or not, even if you find it, your father-in-law may not be willing to entrust his daughter to you such a half-sized son." ”

"There is an old saying that if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, you are young and you don't have your parents around to take care of you, how are you going to support your daughter-in-law? If you have another child in the future, how will you feed the child? ”

"Have you thought about any of this?" The child brother was stunned by Wang Chong's words, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he quickly shook his head: "My father only told me to go to Shuangqi Town to pick up my daughter-in-law." The child couldn't help but be innocent and a little stunned.

Wang Zhong said: "Then if your father-in-law asks you this, how will you answer him?" Brother Wang's heart was confused by what Wang Chong said, he didn't know how to answer, he thought about it, but there was no result, and then he looked at Wang Chong and asked, "Brother Wang, how should I answer?" Wang Chongdao: "I don't know much about your situation now, if you want, I will ask you about your situation first, and then tell you how to answer, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, Brother Wang, you ask!" Brother Kid replied very decisively. Wang Zhong began to ask, "Where is your home?" ”

"White River Ditch."

"Do you have a house at home?"

"There is a house."

"How many rooms are there?"

"There are three."

"Do you have land at home?"

"There are five acres of land."

"Do you know how to farm?"

"No, it won't."

"Do you have a well in your house?"

"Nope."

"Is there a water cellar?" ······ Time passed quietly in the midst of this question and answer.
