The raised steel knife reflected the sunlight and shone brightly.

Wu Datou, who was kneeling on the ground, was as white as paper, and large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The steel knife fell with the sound of the howling wind, and the next moment, it was about to splatter blood in five steps, and the severed palm fell to the ground.

Yu Xiaoyao sighed, gently stretched out his hand, and pinched the blade with ease like pinching a flea.

The onlookers were stunned, Wu Datou was stunned, and of course the man with the steel knife was also stunned.

The knife in his hand was pinched, and instead of being angry, the man looked at Yu Xiaoyao in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of death?" he said.

There was not the slightest hint of threat in this sentence, it was more like he saw a person who put his hand into the red-hot fire, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid of being hot?"

"I'm afraid. Yu Xiaoyao said, "And I'm scared to death, but I still can't help but want to ask, why did you cut off his hand?"

The man said, "He lost 500 taels of silver in our gambling house yesterday, and he failed to pay back the money today, according to the rules of our Huangsha Town, we want to cut off his hand to make an example!"

The last word was used very elegantly, and it seemed very incongruous when it came out of his mouth, and it must have been learned from the mouths of the people above.

Yu Xiaoyao stretched out his hand and took out the only five silver tickets left on his body, and said, "His account, can I still do it for him?"

The man stretched out his hand and took the silver ticket in Yu Xiaoyao's hand, and said, "If you want to be the head of this wrong, then let it be." He took the money and turned back to the gambling house, seemingly unconcerned that Yu Xiaoyao had just taken his knife.

The onlookers saw that there was no excitement to see, and left with a sigh.

"This benefactor, thank you!" Wu Datou collapsed to the ground, one hand still on the board, "My surname is Wu, you can call me Wu Datou." ”

Yu Xiaoyao looked at him twice, although his head was not very big, but his body was extremely thin, so in turn his head was much bigger.

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "You don't have to thank me, that is the last bit of silver on me, I originally wanted to use that silver as a book to earn more back, but now I am really empty-handed." ”

Wu Datou got up from the ground, patted the soil on his body, and said, "Don't worry, benefactor, I will be able to return the money to you soon." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "Then you'd better hurry, because I don't even have the money to live in the hotel now." ”

Wu Datou said, "This is easy to do, if you don't dislike the benefactor, you can go to the cold house to stay for one night, so that I can have the opportunity to repay your kindness." ”

Wu Datou's humble house is indeed an out-and-out humble house, it is a small house made of broken wooden planks and straw, now that the sun has set, the desert night is beginning to get cold, sitting in this ventilated house, it feels like sitting outside in the wilderness.

When Yu Xiaoyao asked about the story of Huangsha Town, although Wu Datou also had some scruples, for the sake of Yu Xiaoyao saving him a hand, he hesitated again and again, but still opened the conversation.

"The reason why Huangsha Town is called Huangsha Town is because it is backed by the desert and there is yellow sand everywhere. But this is just for outsiders, in fact, the reason why Huangsha Town is called Huangsha Town is because this town is controlled by a gang called Huangshamen, and more than half of the business in Huangsha Town belongs to this Huangshamen, including Huangsha Gambling House. ”

Yu was relieved, "So the person who wants to cut off your hand said that this is the rule of the town, and it is actually the rule of Huangshamen, right?"

Wu Datou nodded and said, "I secretly told you that Huangshamen is the soil emperor of Huangsha Town, and Huangshamen's words are more effective than holy decrees here, so you are in the town, first, don't speak ill of Huangshamen, and second, all about Huangshamen, you'd better not ask!"

"Is it so serious?" Yu Xiaoyao was a little disbelieving, "Can't even say it?"

Wu Datou said, "The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and the government doesn't dare to take care of it, Huangshamen said in this town that if he wants to kill someone, it will be as simple as eating and drinking." The most important thing is that Huangshamen has a lot of shady business, so it is very taboo for others to ask. ”

"I see. Yu Xiaoyao nodded, now he finally understood, when he asked about Huangsha Town, how could that Xiao Er and Hadir have such expressions, it turned out to be like this.

"What about the town of no return? Have you heard of it?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Wu Datou said, "This... What do you know about this town of no return?"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "I only know that it is a very mysterious place, everyone in this town seems to be secretive about this place, and the town of no return is like its name, and those who go will not come back, so it is called the town of no return." ”

Wu Datou spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "Look, you know as much as I know, and I have nothing more to tell you." ”

"Really?" asked Yu Xiaoyao.

Wu Datou smiled bitterly, "You said it yourself, it's a mysterious place, if even a little person like me knows about it, then it's not a mystery, do you say yes?"

Yu Xiaoyao smiled: "It seems that this is indeed the case." So, you don't know how to get to the town of no return?"

Wu Datou said, "I don't know how to get to the town of no return, but there are two people who know." ”

"Which two?" asked Yu Yao.

Wu Datou said, "One is a camel, and the other is Uncle Sha." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "I've seen this camel, who is this Uncle Sha?"

Wu Datou said, "Uncle Sha is the boss of Huangshamen, he is the richest person in the entire Huangsha Town, and he is also the only person in Huangsha Town who can be called the uncle." ”

Yu Xiaoyao said, "Then how can I get him to send me to the town of no return?"

"You can't!" Wu Datou said, "In front of Uncle Sha, you'd better mention the word "no return to town." ”

"Why?" asked Yu Yao.

Wu Datou said, "It is said that it was because the people who did not return to the town robbed Uncle Sha's goods and detained the people sent by Uncle Sha to negotiate, so anyone who dared to mention the word "no return" in the town disappeared mysteriously the next day, and no one saw them again." ”

Yu Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, "In this way, then I can only scrape together 50,000 taels of silver first." ”

"Fifty thousand taels?!" Wu Datou lost his voice and said, "So much?!"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "Yes, I want to go to the town of no return, and I have to get the 50,000 taels first." ”

Wu Datou seemed to have thought of something, he hesitated, gritted his teeth, and asked, "Do you have to go to the town of no return?"

Yu Xiaoyao said, "You have to go!"

"That's good. Wu Datou stomped his feet and said, "I'll make up the 50,000 taels of silver for you!"
