Chapter 1480: Desert Robbery
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the silver dragon is flying, and the petite silver moonlight dragon is bathed in the bright moon in the desert, and the scales on its body are shining, like a newborn child, frantically absorbing the energy and nutrients in the moonlight. Ice Evil sat on the sand dunes, letting the wind blow to his chest, and under the dunes were two small tents for him and Alice, one of which was lit by the light he had set out when he came out.
Two one-man high wind-proof and sand-proof walls were built with sand around the tent, and two desert toots were tied to a post erected by the wall, and they nested behind the wind-proof wall, already asleep. The wind was not strong tonight, it started and stopped, and the wind and sand accumulated on the side of the tent and the root of the wall, and it did not accumulate much in the middle of the night, and it could not drown the low sand wall.
The wind had been blowing for a long time, and the gloomy clouds pressed on the chest of the ice childish evil had also soothed a lot, and the fatigue swelled up, so he got up and walked down the sand dunes to go back to the tent to sleep, and suddenly heard a small sound in the desert. At first, he thought that he had heard it wrong, although the night wind was not strong, but the sudden blow was still whirring in his ears, and he listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard someone shouting again, and the sound was not far ahead.
Before the ice child had even walked over, the little dragon more than a meter long had already flown over, and its body exuded a cold white moonlight like clear water, although it was not bright, it could illuminate the surrounding several meters even if it flew low. Under the light of the moon and the moonlight dragon, the ice child saw a man staggering towards him, and this man saw someone coming, and collapsed in the desert.
Bing Zhixiao hurriedly ran up to help the man up, shouted twice and saw that he was not awake, and looked through the light, it turned out that he knew this person. This guy is the last time he went to Sapa Chau, the young man Eda who came out of the siege for Gog by the lake. The Ice Evil helped him to the tent. Fetch a jug of water and feed him to drink.
At this moment Alice heard the commotion, put on a coat and crawled out of the tent, and when she saw the situation, she knew what was going on, and rushed to help.
Her chapped lips were moistened with water, and a wisp of coolness slipped down her throat, and Eda woke up to the lusciousness of the water, and she didn't even open her eyes, holding the kettle and sucking it in a big gulp, until she drank all the water before letting go of her hand. He lay on the ground and gradually regained his strength, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Ice and Alice were right in front of him. Hurriedly sat up and said thank you.
Alice helped him to sit down. said: "Don't say thank you, let me ask you what's wrong, why did you make such a wolf appear in the desert?"
Eda sat down against the wall and sighed. Tell your story.
It turned out that Eda had traveled to Sapa Chau. After separating from the mercenaries who were traveling with him before. He did not dare to continue his journey alone, so he stayed at Sapa Island. Until more than ten days ago, a group of merchants sold goods in Kongsberg. After they had finished selling their goods at the Kongsburg market, they collected some goods from the south and prepared to sell them in the north. Originally, the group of traders planned to take a detour to the west instead of the desert, but when they heard that there was a flood in the west and the roads were flooded in some places, they decided to go north to the desert.
Some of these traders have also walked through the desert before, and they also know that there are sand thieves in the desert from time to time, but the traders have luck in their hearts, thinking that they will not be unlucky to really encounter sand thieves; And the sand thieves are only for money, and the small sand thieves generally dare not be tough when they encounter a caravan like them, not to mention that the sand pirates also know that they small traders will not transport any goods that are too valuable, and the large sand thieves will not regard them as targets. That's why I dare to walk the desert.
But unluckily, a group of blind sand bandits still found them two days ago. The traders were a little ruthless in order to protect their property, but there were many sand thieves in this group, and the traders did not dare to resist and were looted and taken away by them. It just so happened that before the sand thieves came, Eddar was sick to her stomach and found a secluded place to make it convenient, so she escaped. It's just that although he was not robbed by the sand thieves, he was tortured for two days without water and food, and he didn't dare to walk around when the weather was too hot during the day, and he could only come out at night to find something to eat. If he hadn't been lucky enough to see a little light in the tent tonight, he would have died of thirst in the desert in a day or two.
Alice sighed at his good fortune, but there was a doubt in her heart. But now was not the time to discuss the matter with the frail Ada, who took two dry bread cakes from the tent and soaked them in water for Edda to eat, and brought him a piece of fruit. At this time, Bing Zhixiao and Alice had only entered the desert for less than eight days, and there were still some fresh fruits left with them, but Eda had been hungry for the past two days, so it was not appropriate to eat those dried fish and dried meat, for fear that it would not be good for the stomach.
Edda poured a stomach full of water, and ate a half-soaked noodle and a fruit, and then came up tired, and fell asleep in the tent of the icy childish.
Seeing that Master had given up her tent to Ada, Alice pulled him aside and asked, "Master, where are you sleeping?" ”
Bing Zhixiao persuaded her to feel at ease, and said with a smile: "Do you still need to worry about me? Go to sleep, you must be tired from running around for days, rest early and recuperate, you will be tired tomorrow." ”
Alice knew that Master could sleep anywhere as long as it wasn't a sea of swords, but she also hoped that Master could sleep warmly and sleep well. When you travel long distances, you are most tired, and if you don't sleep well at night, your spirit and body will not be able to recover. But Master urged her to go back to sleep, so she had to go back to the tent.
In the tent, Alice couldn't sleep with a sleeping bag, she never thought about whether the master slept peacefully, maybe occasionally thought about it, but the master has always been a very tall image in her heart, so she never worried, but thought that the master can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do, which is very remarkable. But now she was worried, he was wondering if the master would freeze when he slept outside on a desert night, riding a desert bird, not to mention the scorching heat during the day, and his body was about to fall apart, would it be very uncomfortable for Master to sleep outside?
These questions were turning over and over in her head, and she told her that her master had always been very remarkable, and she had stayed in such a cold place as Lin Hai Snow Field and Holy Snow Mountain, how could she be afraid of this cold. But I was still worried. She climbed out of her sleeping bag and out of the tent with her coat.
Outside the tent, Alice looked around and found that Master was lying in the corner of the sand wall of the desert took, using the feathers of the dudu bird as a quilt, covering her mouth and smiling, and said secretly: "Master is quite good at thinking." She tiptoed over, in fact, she also knew that no matter how light she was, she would have already discovered it with Master's vigilance, but she still walked to Master's side like this, and carefully covered her coat over Master.
"You haven't slept yet?" When Bing Zhixiao opened his eyes, he saw Alice standing in front of him with her knees propped up and smiling, and a faint body fragrance came out from the front of her clothes, which made Bing Zhixie couldn't help but feel distracted, touched his nose, and asked, "What are you looking at me for?" ”
Alice smiled and said, "I see Master, you are sleeping with this big turkey, it's so funny, I think it's funny." ”
Bing Zhixiao twisted his shoulders, pillowed on the thick feathers of the toot bird, and gestured, "Not bad." Again, "Thank you." ”
No matter how bright the moonlight shone, it was dark all around, and Alice crouched in the tall shadow of the toot bird, only a pair of big eyes could see clearly in the moonlight, and she seemed to not want to leave, but wanted to chat.
Bing Zhixiao stood up against the wall, walked out of the corner and said, "What Eda said just now, you heard something's wrong?" ”
"Hmm. Alice followed from behind and said, "The robbers he spoke of not only robbed them of their belongings, but also robbed them. I wondered what the robbers were trying to rob those vendors, they were just small traders, not rich merchants, and they didn't have much extortion value. ”
"What do you think?" asked Bingzhi.
