The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The barren desert is not so poetic. This is the same loess flying sand, even if you encounter a few scattered trees on the road, they have long since died, and in the endless hot wind, the yellow sand from the sky will bury them, and these traces of life will eventually be touched to confirm that there is little life here.

However, on such a loess sand slope, there is a team of people walking at this time, to be precise, in this desert, they have been walking for five days.

The formation of this group of men and horses was very scattered, and the distance between the team riding in front and the crowd on foot behind was at least twenty miles, and if it were not for the long queue formed by the middle crowd, intermittently exchanging information, I believe that the front and back of this team would not be able to echo.

The team that can dare to continue to advance towards the Great Wilderness in such a scorching weather, in the land of ten miles and eight desolations, is only Tang Long's horse thief team!

・・・・・・

The scorching sun shines on people, making them sore, and only the sweat dripping can have a trace of coolness.

Whew

In the group of captives at the rear of the line, several emaciated men were hurrying on stretchers, sweating profusely, but silent, they did not know when they would stop, and they did not know when they would suddenly die.

Whew

Why is the sun so vicious!

Chen Jinsheng didn't dare to look at the scorching sun on his forehead, he leaned down and gasped, wiped the beads of sweat from his face, and took the opportunity to peek at the person who was lying on the stretcher and resting leisurely.

This young kid is called Tang Long.

Chen Jinsheng himself didn't understand why he was suddenly very interested in him recently, perhaps because this Tang Long was clever enough to make himself and the other three companions on stretchers do tiring work for him, but he had no complaints in his heart.

In addition, there is another reason, taking care of this person, you can get an extra supply, and because of this extra supply, along the way, many colleagues in the previous business house have become dry bones on the road, but a few of them can still live.

This physical work does not change for a thousand dollars.

Brother Chen...

"Brother Chen!!"

Well?!

Chen Jinsheng came back to his senses, it turned out that this master was talking, he quickly lowered his head and asked, "What's the matter, Master Tang!"

Tang Long frowned and said, "Brother Chen, I've already said this a few times, just call me Tang Long." After that, Tang Long looked at the four people, his shelf was very low, and the four people who took care of him were all called brothers by him, and they were not treated as prisoners at all, and when he saw a few people, Tang Long said again:

"Actually, I want to say that the weather is very hot, and the four brothers are very fortunate to carry me, I think we should rest, anyway, I am a wounded soldier, even if we walk slower, it doesn't matter. ”

Several people glanced at each other, and finally Chen Jinsheng nodded, after walking for so long, his feet were also sore, and he just wanted to take off his shoes and pour out the sand inside.

"Ah, I can finally rest. ”

"I'm so tired!"

The three of them were a little cheering, and resting meant being able to drink water and eat food, which was the most important thing of the day, and there was no one.

Caravan captives are generally under the command of the horse thieves who manage them, and they are commanded by the horse thieves to rest and travel, and if they break away from the group or eat their food, they will only die!

The horse thief didn't even need to use a knife, as long as he didn't send supplies, the man would soon fall behind the group, become a small spot in the desert, and eventually, the figure would be buried by the wind and sand・・・・・・

However, Tang Long has no such worries, he also has a sworn brother Ma San above him to take care of, and he is not afraid of being abandoned by the team. Chen Jinsheng and several people were under Tang Long's jurisdiction, Tang Long did not pressure them to hurry, but often let them rest, yes, these people not only did not complain, but also had a faint good impression of Tang Long in their hearts!

I actually have a crush on a horse thief!

When Chen Jinsheng found out about this, he had to admire Tang Long.

When you work for someone but don't know it, it's not that you're too stupid, it's that the other party's means are too high.

Chen Jinsheng sat silently on the ground, took out the water bag, his thirsty lips touched the mouth of the bag, his tongue was lightly dipped in the poured water, and he drank very reluctantly.

He secretly looked at Tang Long, only to see Tang Long talking and laughing with a few brothers, and he was confused for a while.

Maybe it was Miss's misunderstanding that made me preconceived, along the way, this Tang Long's expression and tone were very sincere, what if, he really had to make friends with us?

Horse thieves are not necessarily all vicious people, if he is a trustworthy person, should we tell him about our plan?

Chen Jinsheng's contradiction seemed to be written on his face

He didn't know that all of this was captured by Tang Long's afterglow.

・・・

・・・

Ah, yes!

At this time, Tang Long seemed to remember something, and he said to a small man on the side: "Little Sixth Brother, in fact, if you are tired of walking, I can ask those Hu people behind me to do it for you." ”

Chen Jinsheng and the others suddenly lit up.

Hu people!

That's right, it's indeed the Hu people, these people from the Western Regions who are tall and tall, and they have been reduced to prisoners of horse thieves three days ago.

Their strong horses and rare agate spices have become the driving force for the horse thieves to continue their march into the depths of the desert.

These Hu tribes are not only scattered, but their combat power is not high, and the horse thieves have succeeded in sneak attacks in turn, and three Hu tribes have been looted, and the captives at this time can be described as a mixed crowd.

But if Hu Ren is brought to work as coolies, only Tang Long dares to say this request.

Seeing that someone was doing it for him, Xiao Liu of course enjoyed it, but Chen Jinsheng interrupted decisively, he said: "Tang Ye, no, no, no, it's Tang Long, I don't think the Hu people can be trusted, they are barbaric, I'm afraid they will hurt you, even if they are honest, it will not be convenient to communicate, I think, it's better not to use Hu people." ”

Tang Long was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and seconded: "Well, it makes sense." He lay on a stretcher, but he didn't speak anymore, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while.

That Chen Jinsheng turned his head to look at Xiao Liu and the two companions, met their incomprehensible gazes, and shook his head at the short-sightedness and stupidity of several people, in case they were replaced by Hu Ren, they really couldn't even cry, because the tears would be evaporated by the scorching sun before gushing out of the tear glands!

Chen Jinsheng didn't even bother to explain this real reason to them.

It was a long journey, and no one spoke, and the surroundings immediately reverted to a silent dead silence, with only the sound of chaotic breathing in my ears.

Beep beep beep!

I don't know how long I walked, when suddenly a sharp whistle sounded in the distance, and the group of captives became noisy in vain

That's the whistle for respite!

The hungry and thirsty captives stopped and writhed anxiously in place, waiting for the horse thieves above to be dispensed with water and food.

"Water, I'm so thirsty, where is the water?"

One of the captives collapsed to the ground in vain, howling loudly, and he turned his head to look around, trying to gain sympathy, but this would not have any effect, and the people around him would only give him cold glances, and no one would give up his right to live for him.

It is better to have the strength to howl, than to save the physical strength to survive.

Tang Long noticed this scene and was curious about how this person had survived until now, when a big foot appeared.

"What are you yelling about, did you ever cry like that when your mother died?"

Ma San's tall and burly body appeared in the crowd, which could be described as standing out from the crowd, and Tang Long could see his shaking head from afar.

"Woo woo woo! Uncle, uncle, give me some water to drink!"

The captive's eyes lit up when he saw the water bag on Ma San's waist and crotch, and he quickly climbed to Ma San's feet, hugged Ma San's thighs and cried.

Ma San's eyes immediately widened!

"Get out!"

His movements were faster than his voice, and he kicked the man into the air, and the horse was so powerful that he could stun a strong ox with all his strength, and the frail man was immediately kicked by him.

"Damn, that's a bad thing. ”

Seeing the man flying a few meters away, and not knowing whether he was dead or alive, Ma San was also a little surprised, but he didn't react much, just patted his trouser legs, and then roared at the cowering crowd around him: "Your water and food, go to the back to get it yourself, a bunch of waste, don't fucking bother me, otherwise-"

Ma San pointed to the man lying on the ground, "This guy is your fate." At this time, he happened to see Tang Long who was looking at him, and Ma San immediately greeted excitedly: "Haha, brother, brother, I'm here to see you!"

After Ma San found the target, he walked over quickly, with a joy on his face, the water bag on his waist and crotch was full, and he walked swayingly.

"Hahaha, brother, how have you been these days, how are you recovering from your injuries!?"

Ma San came to Tang Long's side, he said as he untied the water bag, shook his hand and threw three of them on Tang Long's body, "Seeing you like this, you must be recovering well." Brother, I Hu a few days ago, I was too busy to see you, and I finally had time today!"

After speaking, Ma San glanced at Tang Long and said cautiously: "You won't blame me!"

Tang Long shook his head, he really had no way to take this Ma San.

This guy was obviously still worried about the previous water and medicine, but he pretended not to care, but how could he ever have a grudge against him, Ma San was simply doing this too much, and what was even more ridiculous was that he didn't even know that there was one less water bag on his body!

Tang Long secretly said in his heart, this Ma San is really a big guy with three big and three thick, and he doesn't want to break the fact that his water bag was stolen, after all, the person who can survive in this environment is either Zhijian or tricky, it is not easy to survive, just a bag of water, he Tang Long is at least not lacking, on the contrary, when it comes to Hu Ren, Tang Long has a trace of interest.

"I'm recovering well!"

Tang Long stood up, his upper body was already moving freely, he also twisted his wrist, and his upper limbs obviously had some strength.

"Oh, that's a great thing!"

Ma San's eyes lit up, as if he was a good person and not Tang Long, "I'll just say, this Qiwei Huang is a good thing, but you don't know it's precious." Ma San complained, and Tang Long said, "Are you here today to deliver water or to bury me?"

Hey, hey, hey!

Ma San smirked and said, "I'm here to deliver medicine to you!", looking at Tang Long's puzzled gaze, Ma San looked at himself in wonder, "Is there anything on me?"

Tang Long stretched out his hand and nodded at him, "Didn't you say that Qiwei Huang is very effective, take one pill in seven days? It's only the fifth day!" Ma San was stunned, "Did I say that?" He immediately snorted again, touched his bald head and said with an embarrassed face:

"Actually, I said that I would take one pill every seven days, but I was actually worried that if the effect of the medicine was not good, you would be in a worse mood, and I was afraid that you would be cranky again, so I said nonsense - alas! Don't, don't turn your face, you see, aren't you recovering well now!!

Tang Long stared at him angrily, being deceived by a guy with five big and three rough was the reason why he didn't feel good.

"Without further ado, get the medicine out quickly. ”

Ma San then nodded, took out a cloth bag from the belt bag behind his back, and took out a black and bulging pill inside.

"Hey, it's intact, give!"

Tang Long snatched it with one hand, opened the water bag and swallowed the seven flavors of yellow with water, but he didn't want to let Ma San do it for him.

Grunt

The pill flowed along the water, slashed through his throat and entered his abdomen, Tang Long closed his eyes and carefully comprehended the changes in his body, for a long time, but there was no longer a feeling of warmth in his abdomen.

"How is it?", seeing Tang Long frowning, Ma San couldn't help asking, Tang Long opened his eyes, and faintly knew in his heart that this time it would not be as good as the previous pill, and it was estimated that it would not have much curative effect.

"How's that?!"

Ma Sanshuang's eyes widened, and he said, "It's delicious, this is something of fifty taels and one grains! It must be sweet and delicious." ”

I'm dizzy!!

Tang Long turned his head away, not wanting to talk to this person.

"Hey, don't ignore me!"

"Such an expensive pill can't be without effect!"

"Speak, Tang Long!"

Ma San stretched out his hand to push, Tang Long was annoyed, twisted his body and yelled at him: "Qiwei Huang, the medicinal effect is great, it will be effective in seven days, don't you know?!

"Oh-I see!"

Ma San touched the big bald head again, but Tang Long saw him with a smug face, as if he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme. As if to say, I am relieved to see that you still have the strength to roar!

With a brother who cares so much about him, there will be no loneliness in the world.

Tang Long's heart suddenly lost his anger, and he smiled: "You talk a lot of nonsense, let me ask you something serious, what's going on with Hu Ren?"

Hu people?

Ma San smacked his mouth, and he didn't know where to start, "Hu Ren?"

"If you want to talk about this nonsense, then this is a long story・・・・・・" he gradually fell into his memory.

"Hu people, in fact, we have already found their traces as early as the second day after entering the Western Wilderness, they are nomads, leaving a lot of traces of the station, these clues show that they did not go long, and the upper side immediately asked us to speed up the pace!

In addition, there is a very strange thing -

In this dry season, the Hu tribe is actually migrating to the depths of the western wilderness!

On the third day, we found a very weak tribe of Hu people, numbering about one or two hundred, more than half of them were women, the rest were children, and there were almost no men in the prime of life, and they were defeated by us in less than a quarter of an hour. ”

In the dry season, migrating to the great wilderness?! A tribe, no middle-aged men!

Tang Long felt unbelievable, these Hu tribes with abnormal behaviors made him have many questions in his heart for a while.

At this time, Ma San scratched his head and still said: "After that, we cleaned up the trophies, and we actually found that -- by the way, when it came to the captured Hu people, I also curiously went to see the Hu people's wives, my mother! You don't know wow! This is not tight, and it almost frightens my heart and liver at first sight!"

The Hu women, each born fat and thick, ugly faces and rough skin, what is even more terrible is that they have a strong smell on their bodies, they are simply two-legged humanoid sows, ordinary people can't get close at all, I admired the Hu men at that time. ”

Ma San crossed his arms and said with admiration: "Yes, for the sake of passing on the ancestry, it's really fortunate for them!"

A black line appeared on Tang Long's face

"Long story short, don't pick these haves and don'ts. Ma San was stunned, "I thought you would be interested!"

"Who the should be interested in these women!"

Tang Long finally couldn't help but say a foul word, "What else happened after that?"

Ma San couldn't help but laugh, he tilted his head and asked, "Are you really not interested?" If the only thing that can be circled by the Hu woman is that full breast!", he gestured and stretched out his hand in front of Tang Long, "How big is it? Grandma's! I guess it's bigger than your head!",

"Haven't you always been a good mouthful? Tang Long!"

Well, finding that Tang Long's gaze had become unkind, Ma San's face immediately straightened

"Okay, from the back topic. ”

・・・

・・・

Actually, after that, there was nothing special.

On the fourth day, the horse thieves discovered two tribes again, without exception, these tribes were very weak, and there were basically no adult male Hu people, which meant that they did not have force, so they were all easily ransacked by the horse thieves.

It's not an easy process, and the only thing worth mentioning is that the horse thieves have a huge harvest every time. Among these Hu tribes, there are not only dozens of sturdy horses, but also a large number of expensive agate and spices, which are worth more than gold and silver!

Plenty of horses, children and women left, and the tribe was left with great wealth.

Tang Long glanced at Chen Jinsheng, and then said to Ma San: "Monsters without front teeth, countries without soldiers, and Hu tribes without middle-aged men, Ma San, do you know that these will make me have any guesses?"

How could Ma San know that Tang Long knew this clearly, so he didn't wait for him to answer at all, and said to himself: "War!"

"The only reason that can make a warrior leave their homes and fight for their territory is war!"

In Ma San's eyes, Tang Long's eyes at the moment were like arrows coming out of the string, with a hint of deadly coldness, he stared at the caravan prisoner beside him, and said, "I'm right, right? Brother Chen!"
