A grain of sand can't fill the sea, and a drop of water can't make a lake.

How many grains of sand do you need to condense into this vast desert? Countless giant mountains of yellow sand mean, like the back of a dragon and snake, the trend is rugged, and there is a hidden killing opportunity. What Dong Ping and Ruan Li stepped on was a small ripple of the sand sea, whose form was swaying, like water lines, but it was a silent wind and waves.

Dong Ping and Ruan Li looked at the stars in the desert, and they walked away for two days. In the past two days, Dong Ping's originally white face has been tanned by the scorching sun. Ruan Li was better, Dong Ping knew that Ruan Li couldn't bask in the sun, so he tore off his clothes and made her a headscarf mask.

In the desert, the most feared is the storm, and the most scarce is water. Dong Ping began to envy the masters of the Shaolin Temple who could not eat or drink for seventy years. Dong Ping didn't know when he would reach that point, but now he was starving to death and thirsty. Ruan Li relied on the essence blood fed to her by Dong Ping, although she couldn't die. But the hunger in her stomach and her lips full of dead skin also made her uncomfortable to death.

It was noon, and the scorching sun was scorching. Dong Ping and Ruan Li found a shady place to sit down, and they were scorched by the stove for days, and the two of them had long lost the strength to speak.

Dong Ping's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he wanted to swallow his saliva, but the air was dry, and a large stream of hot air was swallowed into his throat. In an instant, Dong Ping seemed to have swallowed a mouthful of hot sand. From the throat to the stomach, it is hot and uncomfortably tight.

Suddenly, the sand in front of them suddenly arched, and a small sandbag the size of a fingernail seemed to break through the sand. Dong Ping protected Ruan Li behind him and pointed at the small sandbag with the tip of his knife. Suddenly, a pitch-black thing burst out of the sand and ran forward at great speed.

Dong Ping put down the knife weakly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "It turned out to be a beetle." ”

Ruan Li said softly: "Even a worm can live leisurely in this desert, but we are so embarrassed. ”

Dong Ping didn't listen to Ruan Li's words, but he secretly thought in his heart, why did this beetle run up against the sun when it was comfortable in the shade under the sand. He was thinking about it, but he saw dozens of small sandbags arched in front of him. Immediately after, dozens of black beetles jumped out as if they were crazy, as if they were greatly frightened, and ran forward desperately. Ruan Li was also shocked by the scene in front of him, and couldn't close his mouth.

At this moment, a strange and low cry came from the ground, and the black beetle that was running forward heard this, and suddenly its body froze, and although its body trembled, it was motionless. Dong Ping's hand holding the handle of the knife couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Suddenly, suddenly......"

With a sound of arching sand, a large golden lizard emerged from beneath the sand. The big lizard strutted up, walked unhurriedly to the black beetle swarm, stretched out its long tongue and rolled it, and a black beetle was swept into its mouth. With the sound of squeaking and chewing, Dong Ping and Ruan Li couldn't help but move their index fingers.

"It turned out to be a four-legged snake..."Dong Ping muttered, then laughed again, and said to Ruan Li: "Today, we have something to eat." ”

Ruan Li naturally knew what Dong Ping was thinking, but she had never eaten anything like this, so she couldn't help but be a little scared.

In just a few moments, the golden lizard ate more than twenty black beetles. Just as it was enjoying the food leisurely, Dong Ping had already thrown the knife, and the snow knife was shining under the scorching sun.

Scold!

Seeing that the snow knife was deeply inserted in the sand behind the golden lizard, Dong Ping sighed, and then looked at the golden lizard and ran forward more than ten zhang in shock.

Ruan Li smiled when he saw this, Dong Ping shook his head and said, "You ran away after eating, and you still laughed." ”

Ruan Li shook Dong Ping's arm and said, "Eh, Brother Dong, don't you have to be annoyed." I just remembered a nursery rhyme I heard when I was a kid. I felt that it was very similar to the situation just now, so I laughed. ”

Dong Ping pulled Ruan Li into his arms, rubbed her head and said, "Then you sing it to me, if it's not like it, then I can't spare you." ”

Ruan Li blinked his eyes wide, and after thinking for a while, he babbled and sang. Dong Ping can hear that this is the dialect of Jiangdong in Wuzhou, which is soft and sweet, and moistens people's hearts.

Dong Ping listened and said softly: "I didn't understand." ”

Ruan Li smiled: "It means, the doll will go home quickly, and there will be a hungry wolf in the mountain to catch you." Ran back to Grandma's arms, and Daddy beat him with a stick. ”

After a while, Dong Ping feigned anger and said, "Okay, you dare to say that I am a hungry wolf!"

Ruan Li pouted and said, "I didn't say it, it's Brother Dong who thinks so......"

Ruan Li couldn't help laughing before she could finish it, it turned out that Dong Ping had reached under her armpit and scratched her itchy flesh. Ruan Li kept banging Dong Ping's chest with his pink fist, Dong Ping also smiled, and he laughed heartily.

Ruan Li had the last laugh and couldn't help begging for mercy again and again. Dong Ping let her go at this time, and Ruan Li pouted: "Brother Dong knows how to bully me." ”

Dong Ping stood up and went to pull out the snow, and he said, "I wanted to bully that four-legged snake, but it wouldn't let me bully." ”

Ruan Li rested her chin on her folded arms, and she looked at Dong Ping quietly, the sweetness in her eyes mixed with sadness. She murmured, "Brother Dong, do you really like Ruan Li......" Her voice was small, and she was buried in the wind and sand in an instant. And Dong Pingzheng looked at the Xue Dao carefully, and did not respond to Ruan Li's words.

Dong Ping frowned and looked at the Snow Knife, only to see that the sand and stones around the Snow Knife were faintly covered with red blood. Dong Ping pulled out the handle, and the sky was full of sand in an instant.

"Ahh It's just that the snake is now out of breath. Dong Ping said with a smile: "This can be regarded as an unintentional willow insertion, I didn't eat the four-legged snake, let's eat this serious bachelor snake." ”

Today's event happened to be the old saying that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. The lizard eats the black beetle, and the long snake hides under the sand and waits to eat the lizard. But he didn't want to be stabbed by Dong Ping's god and cut off his life.

Dong Ping looked 10,000 miles away, and saw that the golden lizard was also looking at him. Dong Ping glared and scolded viciously: "Look at it again, I even ate you." ”

As soon as Dong Ping's words fell, the golden lizard climbed into the sand.

"Bad seeds. ”

Dong Ping was really in a good mood, he divided the long snake into two, and after drinking a few mouthfuls of snake blood with Ruan Li, he took the snake skin and the snake's internal organs and stomach together.

Dong Ping slice a thin piece of snake meat and handed it to Ruan Li first. Ruan Li was most afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants on weekdays, let alone eating them, but seeing that Dong Ping handed it to her, she stuffed the snake meat into her mouth without saying a word.

Although the meat of this snake is tender in taste, it is too sandy. Dong Ping took a bite and couldn't help frowning. It stands to reason that in such a difficult situation, a stutterer is a great gift. But Dong Ping was poor and exquisite, and he slice a few pieces of snake meat and threw them under the scorching sun. After a while, the snake's flesh began to sizzle and turn brown.

Dong Ping picked up the meat, handed it to Ruan Li and said, "This is what people eat." ”

Ruan Li took the snake meat and stuffed it into her mouth, and somehow, her tears fell.

Dong Ping hurriedly wiped away Ruan Li's tears and reprimanded: "There is a lot of precious water, all of which you have wasted." ”

Ruan Li raised his head, put the tears he was about to shed in his eyes and said, "Then I won't cry." ”

Dong Ping snorted lightly and said secretly, I see how long you can last.

Sure enough, every moment later, Ruan Li shouted that his neck was sore, and leaned on Dong Ping again.

At this time, heaven is heaven and earth is earth.

A small grass ball rolled and hit Ruan Li's instep, Ruan Li picked up the grass ball and said, "It's windy." ”

Dong Ping was stunned when he heard this, he closed his eyes, and felt that a breeze was blowing towards him. Zephyr.

"Let's go!"

Dong Ping knew that the natural disaster had arrived.

Dong Ping opened his eyes and stood up, he picked up Ruan Li on his back and ran eastward like crazy. Ruan Li didn't know why, she looked back and saw a flood beast.

I saw a magnificent wall of wind and sand, covering the sky and the sun, coming to the east. In the desert, the most fatal thing is this wild sand storm. I don't know how many martial arts masters have been buried in this sandstorm. The desert storm that can bury the world is not child's play.

It was only a moment of effort, and the sandstorm that seemed like heaven had come behind Dong Ping and the others. Flying sand and rocks, it was dark in a blink of an eye. Tens of thousands of sand dunes were like yellow dragons, roaring towards Dong Ping and the others.

Dong Ping sweated like rain, he hugged Ruan Li in front of him again, and shouted: "Clamp my waist!"

As soon as Ruan Li wrapped his legs around Dong Ping's waist, the sand and stones, which were sharper than the clusters of arrows, shot wildly at Dong Ping's back. In the blink of an eye, Dong Ping was already dripping with blood. At this time, Dong Ping and the others were already in the sandstorm. Beneath your feet is a stream of sand rolling wildly, and all around you are a raging stream of flying sand and dust. Dong Ping kept waving the snow to keep the flying sand out. However, this flying sand seemed endless, Dong Ping's cheeks were full of scars, and his seven orifices were also full of mud and sand. He was gradually exhausted, and under the power of heaven, a sense of powerlessness surged into Dong Ping's heart.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He hugged Ruan Li's arm, and he was also loose. But in an instant, he hugged Ruan Li tightly, still full of life, and the sound of his heartbeat that he tried his best to pluck exploded in Ruan Li's ears again and again. As if to tell her, don't be stupid.

Suddenly, a huge tornado struck, instantly rolling Dong Ping and Ruan Li into the sky. The huge tearing force almost tore Dong Ping in half.

"No ......"

Dong Ping's faint shout was swept into the wind, and he couldn't hold it tightly, Ruan Li fell into the wind like a fluttering leaf.

"Ruan Li!"

The wind and sand blew into Dong Ping's mouth again, scratched his tongue, and hoarsely slammed his throat.

After Ruan Li flew out of Dong Ping's arms, an endless feeling of fatigue came up. He was powerless, and he had no intention of resisting the wind and sand.

Suddenly, Dong Ping seemed to see an old and tired gaze. The gaze was under the wind and sand, as indifferent as water.

Suddenly, Dong Ping felt a rough and powerful hand grab his neck and pull him out of the wind and sand. With a jolt, Dong Ping's eyes went dark, and he fainted.

The wind and sand are quiet.

Dong Ping slowly opened his eyes, and the sound of a horn came from his ears. In front of him was a heavy-armored warrior with a firm eye and a spear in hand. Dong Ping rode a flying dragon horse, holding a snow stunner in his hand, and wearing bright silver armor.

Suddenly, a scout covered in scars rushed to Dong Ping's side. The scout clasped his fists and said loudly: "Noon has arrived, please give the general an order!"

Dong Ping was suddenly shocked, and goose feathers and snow drifted in the air.

Feeling the slightest coolness, Dong Ping said in a deep voice: "The three armies listen to the order!"

"Yes!"

The mighty sky and thunder are rolling in, the momentum is like a rainbow, and the eight wildernesses are implemented!

"Kill!"

Dong Ping gave an order, and a million army drove forward.

And waiting in front was only a man in black, and Dong Ping couldn't see his face clearly.

Suddenly, the man was alone in the midst of a million-strong army.

Dong Ping's eyes were full of scarlet.

Suddenly, the Liao army rushed over.

The man in black had also come to Dong Ping, and Dong Ping saw his face clearly at this time.

"Ya Fei Dao!"

That arrogant face is the Ya Fei Dao who was suppressed in Shaolin.

Dong Ping only felt a sharp pain in his heart, and when he looked at it again, Ya Feidao had already stuffed his heart into his mouth and chewed it heavily.

Dong Ping's eyes darkened, and he was unconscious.

Suddenly, a sigh rang in his ears, and a boiling stream of heat poured into his meridians.

Dong Ping's already dry meridians began to greedily devour this hot flow. This heat flow was fleeting, and Dong Ping's meridians stopped cheering, and were replaced by a powerful vitality.

The glorious sunset reflects the desert as a silhouette of the winding sand dunes. At this time, the desert was quiet and became an ink painting, without the slightest violence.

Men and women laughed and walked from the desert into an oasis, which was like a piece of jasper inlaid in the desert, although abrupt, but not out of place at all.

At the heart of the oasis is a turquoise lake. There are several kinds of green trees that cannot be named, and there are many wooden houses in the forest. The man is draining and cultivating the paddy fields, and the woman is holding the child and rubbing the mulberry linen.

A crisp song came from the woods.

"Doll doll go home quickly, there is a hungry wolf in the mountain to catch you, go back to Grandma's arms, Abba beat the wolf with a stick ......"

Dong Ping opened his eyes and was greeted by a simple wooden house. The simple tables and chairs, the well-placed pots and pans, and a long-lost fireworks struck Dong Ping, which made Dong Ping panic. He raised his arm and found that the wound on his arm had long since scabbed, and he had been unconscious for a long time. Dong Ping turned over and smiled when he saw the snow lying quietly on the side of his body.

He rolled over and sat up, his body aching, but it did not affect his movements. Dong Ping stood up, walked around the house, and walked outside. At this time, an old man bumped into him head-on. When the old man saw Dong Ping, his eyes were full of joy. He began to babble a lot of things to Dong Ping, Dong Ping was confused for a while, but after a while he nodded at the old man and bent over.

The old man laughed, and after chattering again, he walked out.

Dong Ping has some understanding in his heart, although the desert is cruel, there are also people living on some oases in the desert. However, no one wants to take care of this impermanence desert, Xia in the west, Song in the east and Liao in the north are not willing to take charge of this mess. Therefore, the people who survive in the desert are also called outcasts.

Dong Ping leaned against the door frame, looking at the green trees, and his heart was unusually calm.

A soft and translucent singing voice came, and a handsome girl led a group of children over. The girl was laughing, and the smile was so sweet that it was frightening.

Suddenly, the girl saw Dong Ping in front of the house. She ran over and hugged Dong Ping.

Sobbed: "Brother Dong......"

The tooth marks that Ruan Li left on Dong Ping's chest had become scars, how could Dong Ping not understand Ruan Li's thoughts at that time. She just wanted to let go of her by herself, and then let herself run for her life. But as everyone knows, she bit Dong Ping's chest, just like Dong Ping fed her his own blood, and the lives of the two have long been connected.

Dong Ping hugged Ruan Li and said in his heart: "I don't like you, but I will always be with you." ”

There was no wind or waves, and two more days passed.

Living in this oasis, in addition to the language barrier, the Tao is also comfortable. Dong Ping is also a little like a world away, he teaches the dolls in the oasis to speak the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty and write the official seal of the official book. And Ruan Li learns weaving and cooking from the women in the oasis every day. The days of male farming and female weaving are so uncomfortable, Dong Ping has come out more than once to stay here, and there is no longer the idea of this peach paradise.

The men, women and children in the oasis are also extremely hospitable, and the fresh fruits and preserved meat in Dong Ping and Ruan Li's room have never been broken. Dong Ping could see that Ruan Li was extremely happy here, at least here, no one had ever laughed at her.

Dong Ping faintly had a thought in his heart, if he wanted to become an abandoned person abandoned by the world, he could have a pure heart, and then this world would be too absurd. But that's the way it is, it's a ridiculous age, and it's also a ridiculous world.

Dong Ping also asked if she knew who the two of them were rescued, and Ruan Li shook her head and didn't know. As soon as she woke up, she was here. Dong Ping knew that the person who saved them must not be from this oasis, because the most men, women, and children in this oasis would have some kung fu. If you want to walk in the sandstorm of the desert, you can't do it without extremely high cultivation.

The sun is scorching on your head, but in the oasis, it is extremely cool. Dong Ping was lying on the wooden chair, and when Ruan Li was calling for him to pinch his shoulders and beat his back, a melodious and desolate horn suddenly sounded from outside the oasis.

Dong Ping stood up suddenly, startling Ruan Li. Dong Ping is familiar with this horn, it is a horn that only blows in the barracks.

As soon as the horn sounded, the men in the oasis took out the food and water bladders from the house and walked out together.

Ruan Li asked softly, "Could it be that the robbers are coming?"

Dong Ping picked up the knife and motioned for Ruan Li to stay, and he went to see it first. Ruan Li knew that if the robbers really came, it would be troublesome for her to stay by Dong Ping's side, and she realized it when she was in the sandstorm. After Ruan Li nodded sensibly, Dong Ping went to the oasis with the flow of people.
