Chapter 200: Mercenaries from Abroad
After a burst of neighing horses, the bandit leader led everyone back to the sand pit, looking at the footprints of Yu Lu Hao Chen Xi and the two of them on the desert, everyone was briefly surprised and hurriedly dismounted to determine that the footprints that appeared on the desert were indeed the footprints of two people, after a period of groping and judgment by everyone, the one-eyed strong man ran to the bandit leader and nodded solemnly, "General, I just went down to the pit to take a look, and there are indeed two people's footprints under the pit."

When the bandit leader called the general heard this, a wise look that did not fit the image appeared on his rough face, and after looking around, he seemed to mutter: "I didn't expect that there was really a person under this pit, and I really wronged that person just now, but why didn't we see anyone under the pit ・・・・・・ Fang?"
"I don't know ・・・・・・ this humble position. ”
Cheng Chumo touched his chin, looked thoughtfully at the footprints of Yu Lu and the two leaving, pondered for a moment, shook his head, no longer cared about this matter, greeted everyone, turned over and got on the horse in a chic manner, and led everyone out of here again with a low shout.
・・・・・・
Yu Lu and Chen Xi walked on the desert for most of the day, and finally arrived at the first populated place in the desert in the evening.
Tired of hurrying, even Yu Lu, who is good at physical fitness, is a little unbearable, not to mention Chen Xi, who is a girl, her lips have already dried up and cracked because of dripping water in the past two days, and the scorching golden desert reflects the afterglow of the sunset that is slowly setting in the west, roasting the earth like a teppanyaki, and the two young people who have just come out of the sand pit have finally won the final victory in this race with nature.
Squinting his eyes and taking a closer look, Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised to find that a hazy wall shadow gradually appeared not far away, and he stomped his feet excitedly, and accidentally stepped on Yu Lu, who was dozing off and bowing his head and blindly following Chen Xi beside him.
Yu Lu, who was constantly appearing in his mind with all kinds of gourmet beauties, was suddenly stepped on by Chen Xi, and the strength of his stomping was much heavier than accidentally stepping on it, and Yu Lu immediately stepped on it with grinning. Yu Lu, who jumped a few times with his feet in his arms, asked Chen Xi angrily while relieving the pain: "Eldest sister, there is no need to be so excited when the eldest aunt is here, right?"
Chen Xi looked apologetically at Yu Lu, who was hugging his feet and complaining, and stretched out his hand and pointed directly in front of the two, "Yu Lu, look, what is that?!"
"What?" Yu Lu also raised his head when he heard this, and looked in the direction of Chen Xi's finger, as if a hazy shadow appeared in the direction of Chen Xi's finger in the endless sea of sand. Seeing this, Yu Lu couldn't care about the pain in his feet, and quickly rubbed his eyes and looked into the distance carefully.
"Is that the ・・・・・・ City Wall?" asked Yu Lu in shock after carefully observing it for a while.
Chen Xi nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's the city wall, and looking at this length, it's obviously not the city wall of any city, but the Great Wall of ・・・・・・ Thousand Miles!"
"The Great Wall!" Yu Lu said in shock, looking into the distance in disbelief, and then turned his head to look at Chen Xi, waiting for the latter's explanation.
Chen Xi's mood also became happy with the appearance of the Great Wall, and while grabbing Yu Lu's clothes and walking towards the Great Wall, he explained: "Actually, we should have thought of it a long time ago, if this is really ancient, we will reach the Great Wall sooner or later when we walk all the way east in the desert." ”
"I don't know what the Great Wall looked like. Yu Lu lifted his spirits, the feet that were stepped on by Chen Xi before no longer hurt, the legs that walked were no longer sore, and the waist was not sleepy, and he felt that he could circle the earth in one breath.
The two of them walked towards the Great Wall without stopping, and finally arrived at the bottom of the city wall before it was completely dark.
Chen Xi, who was walking in front, was already exhausted under the torture of two consecutive days in the desert, and he yearned for a better life, even if it was just an ancient good life, and began to shout out to the soldiers on the beacon tower a few hundred meters outside the city wall.
Chen Xi's clear and ethereal voice was particularly loud in the desert, and Chen Xi kept shouting while watching the reaction of the soldiers on the beacon tower expectantly.
At this time, the light of stars and candles seeped from several windows in the beacon tower, which was particularly conspicuous in the silent and dark desert, but it was in such a silent desert that Chen Xi's shouting had no effect at all.
The candle flame was already swaying with the night wind, and the figure still did not appear, such a reaction couldn't help but make Chen Xi, who couldn't wait, very anxious, remembering his previous situation in the sand pit, and hurriedly pushed Yu Lu, who was speechless beside him.
"You shout people, if we don't go in, this dark desert is very dangerous!" Chen Xi said anxiously.
In the faint light of the moonlight, Yu Lu looked at the beacon tower thoughtfully, then turned his head to look at Chen Xi beside him, and only after half a sound did he whisper under Chen Xi's urging: "Don't you think it's weird?"
"What's weird?" Chen Xi, who was expecting it, didn't expect that Yu Lu didn't shout at the soldiers in the beacon tower when he opened his mouth, but popped out such a sentence, and suddenly wondered.
Yu Lu looked at the beacon tower fixedly, pondered for a while again, and then looked at Chen Xi, stared at Chen Xi's eyes tightly, and said solemnly: "Although I feel a little incredible when I say it, after what happened to you in that city before, what happened to you is not too bizarre and strange to understand." ”
"What's the matter?" asked Chen Xi.
Yu Lu pointed at Chen Xi, and then pointed in the direction where the two of them were walking, "We were in the sand pit before, and no one paid attention to you for a day, maybe because no one passed by, but then I and those people went to the sand pit to rescue you, and they still didn't find out about your existence." ”
After a pause and licking his dry lips, Yu Lu continued: "It stands to reason that whether they are bad people who do nothing evil or good people with other purposes, they will not turn a blind eye to you in the pit, after all, you and I are of no special use to them, and they don't have the need to make a show in front of us." ”
"So・・・・・・" Chen Xi hesitated for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, in fact, what Yu Lu said about Chen Xi didn't find out? I just think it's too incredible, and this kind of incredibleness still happens to me, so it's even more difficult to adapt to and face it.
Yu Lu sighed and patted Chen Xi's shoulder gently, "So, I don't know why, now you have almost become a transparent person, except that you do exist, and you can leave the same footprints as me when you walk, so far I don't have any signs of you to prove your existence." ”
