The sandstorm is coming. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In an instant, the sky was dark, and the wind swept the yellow sand and engulfed Jing Chuan and Li Quan at once.

The sandstorm roared in their ears like a wild beast, so powerful that neither of them dared to raise their heads.

Li Quan said loudly to Jing Chuan in the wind: "Hero, follow me, quickly go to the bottom of the sand dunes over there and take refuge!"

Jing Chuan tightly covered the scarf on the hat with one hand, and led the horse with the other. When the horse encountered a sandstorm, he was slightly frightened, neighed and tried to break free, but was tightly pulled by Jing Chuan.

Jing Chuan was in the dark, walking closely with Liu Quan's vague figure in front of him. Growing so big, it was the first time he had experienced a sandstorm in the desert, he originally thought it was the wind blowing the sand, who expected the power to be so great, but fortunately, he was also experienced and not very panicked.

The two of them were groping and walking in the sandstorm, and suddenly, Li Quan turned around and shouted at him, "Squat!

Before Jing Chuan could react, a huge thing "swished" past his head, Jing Chuan chased after him, and was surprised to find that a huge branch was rolling in the wind, flying into the distance.

Luckily just now, the branch didn't hit Jing Chuan. Look at the branches, there are dozens of catties, to say the least, they were swept up by the wind, and if they hit their bodies, they may not even be able to save their lives.

Jing Chuan felt scared when he thought about it, this time he completely believed in the power of the desert.

The two men lowered their bodies and led their horses for a long time, until they finally came to the back of a sand dune. Li Quan asked the two horses to kneel down on the dunes, and the horses seemed to know that they should do so, so they obediently knelt down and closed their eyes. Li Quan said to Jing Chuan: "Hero, quickly, hide behind the horse, no matter what happens, don't stand up, just wait for the wind to stop." ”

Jing Chuan nodded, and hurriedly hid behind the horse, and Li Quan also went to hide.

Jing Chuan lay on his stomach tightly against the horse's belly, thinking about this terrible sandstorm, and remembering the big words he had just said, he was very embarrassed. It turns out that the sandstorm in the desert is not at all like the wind blowing loess in his hometown, and the wind in the desert flies the sand and rocks, and even the branches of a large tree can be rolled up by dozens of catties.

The sandstorm blew wantonly, sweeping across the desert with an all-devouring momentum, and emitting a whining cry like a hundred ghosts.

After a long time, the sandstorm finally stopped, the blue sky reappeared, and calm returned to the desert.

The dunes are very smooth as if they have been combed, and the golden sand glows brightly in the sun.

It's silent.

On a sand dune, two black horses' heads were half-buried in the sand, revealing two large eyeballs and two sand-stained nostrils. After a while, the horse opened his eyes, shook the sand off his head, and struggled to get up from the sand. Li Quan also got out of the sand, and after shaking off the sand on his body, he hurriedly ran to the side of Jingchuan's horse to dig the sand, and shouted loudly as he plowed: "Hero!

The sand was very thick, and Li Quan had been planing for a long time, but he didn't see the shadow of Jingchuan, so he panicked all of a sudden, so he stepped up his speed planing.

After digging for a while, Li Quan finally saw Jing Chuan's clothes, Li Quan dug out an arm, grabbed it with both hands, and pulled it out with all his strength, pulling Jing Chuan's whole person out of the sand.

"Wake up, Hero!"

Jing Chuan closed his eyes and didn't move, Li Quan put his hand on his nose, and found that his breathing was weak, so he turned him over and lay flat on the ground, untied the kettle from the horse, unscrewed it, and poured water directly on Jing Chuan's face. Jing Chuan was stirred by the water and woke up all of a sudden. He opened his eyes and looked at the sky with some blankness.

Li Quan squatted down beside him and said, "Hero, the sandstorm has passed, are you okay?"

Jing Chuan sat up, shook his head, sobered himself up, and said, "It's okay, the sandstorm has passed?"

"It's gone, hero. ”

Jing Chuan turned his head to look around and said, "I didn't expect this sandstorm to be so powerful." ”

"That's the way it is in the desert, don't look at it, it's only sand, there are many dangers, in addition to sandstorms, there are quicksand and poisonous snakes, be careful!"

Jing Chuan sat on the ground and rested for a while, drank a sip of water, stood up, patted off the sand on his body, and said to Li Quan: "Little brother, you lead the way in front, and you have to continue on the road." ”

Li Quan answered, and walked to the front to lead the horse. Jing Chuan looked at the calm desert behind him, and his heart was still beating wildly.

After the two of them marched north in the hot desert for more than an hour, Li Quan, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and waved his hand to Jing Chuan, shouting: "Hero, look, there are woods and water ahead!"

Jing Chuan walked over and found that there was indeed a forest in a small basin under the sand dunes, and there was a small river next to the woods.

After experiencing the mirage, Jing Chuan suddenly felt that the woods in front of him were a little unreal, so he said, "Is that real? It can't be a mirage, right?"

Li Quan smiled and said: "Hero, this time it's true, it's not still a mirage, you take a good look!"

Jing Chuan looked at it carefully for a while and said, "How can there be a river in the desert? ”

"Hero, the mirage looks ethereal, this is true, you see, there is shade in that poplar forest, and the water in the river is flowing. When we see the water source, we are close to the north, and after resting in the woods for a while, we can go west. ”

Although Jing Chuan still had some doubts in his heart, he still followed Li Quan down from the sand dune.

To Jing Chuan's surprise, the woods and rivers in front of him were real. When he reached the river, the horse ran to the water to drink. Jing Chuan squatted down at the water's edge, looked at the crystal clear river water, held his hands together, and a burst of coldness spread through his arms all over his body, making him feel refreshed, he finally believed it, squatted on the ground and drank the water in a big gulp.

Li Quan poured out the hot water in the two kettles, filled them with ice water from the river, and said to Jing Chuan: "Hero, we can rest in this forest for a while before leaving." ”

"That's very good. ”

When they had drunk the water, they went into the shade of the trees in the woods to rest.

Jing Chuan leaned against a tree and sat down, Li Quan took out dry food from his luggage and handed it to Jing Chuan: "Hero, eat something." ”

Jing Chuan took it and said, "Thank you, little brother." ”

Li Quan was flattered and said: "The villain doesn't dare, it's the honor of the villain to be able to do things for the hero." ”

Jing Chuan said: "The sandstorm just now, thanks to you, otherwise I would have been buried in the sand sea." ”

"Heroes don't have to be polite, that's what villains should do. The hero experiences a sandstorm for the first time, and if he encounters it again in the future, he will know what to do. ”

"You don't have to call me a hero, I'm not a hero, just call me by my name, my name is Jing Chuan. ”

Li Quan said: "Then I'll call you Jing Daxia." I heard that Jing Daxia defeated Ma Dai alone, he was really strong in martial arts and brave, and the villain admired him very much. ”

Jing Chuan smiled, put a piece of dried beef into his mouth and chewed it.

"I also wanted to learn some kung fu since I was a child, but my father didn't let me, saying that if I learned kung fu, I would cause grievances in the rivers and lakes, and it would be difficult to protect myself at that time. My father just needs me to be an ordinary person and live a stable life. But now the world is so chaotic, if you don't know martial arts, you will be bullied. ”

Jing Chuan leaned his head against the tree, sighed, and said, "What your father said is right, martial arts are cumbersome, or don't learn martial arts, it's better to be an ordinary person." ”

Li Quanren really looked at Jing Chuan and asked, "Then why did Jing Daxia learn martial arts in the first place?"

Jing Chuan said: "I am out of helplessness, and it is a long story. ”

Li Quan saw that he didn't want to say, so he didn't continue to ask.

Jing Chuan ate for a while and asked Li Quan, "Did you bring wine?"

Li Quanyi was a little surprised when he heard that Jing Chuan was going to drink: "The villain didn't know that Jing Daxia could drink, so he didn't bring it." ”

Jing Chuan said, "That's it, let's go back and drink again." ”

After eating, the two of them each rested under a poplar tree, and Jing Chuan saw that Li Quan's eyes were wide open and he looked around, so he asked him, "Why don't you sleep?"

Li Quan said: "Hero, I heard that there are many bandits around here, killing people and selling goods, the villain helps the hero to star, if we find bandits, we will run." ”

Jing Chuan laughed and said: "Follow me, you don't have to be afraid, just sleep, it's okay if the bandits come." ”

Li Quan saw Jing Chuan take out the knife behind his back and hold it to his chest, thinking that Jing Chuan could even beat Ma Dai, would he still be afraid of a few bandits?

The sun was scorching, there was no wind around, and the poplar forest was quiet, and there was no movement. The two of them were tired from the journey and fell asleep under the shade of the trees.

Jing Chuan slept for a while, and suddenly heard a little movement in the woods, and as soon as he heard it, someone was moving, and there was more than one person. Jing Chuan opened his eyes slightly, and saw a few people scurrying around behind the tree in front of him, still carrying knives, slowly approaching them. Jing Chuan knew in his heart, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

When the footsteps reached his neighborhood, Jing Chuan opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

I heard a sound of footsteps around me, and more than a dozen people flashed out from behind the trees, all holding bright broadswords. Li Quan was awakened by this movement, and when he saw that it was a bandit, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran to Jing Chuan's side and said, "Hero, there are bandits, let's go quickly!"

Jing Chuan said: "Don't worry, you just hide behind me." ”

"Who?"

A bandit who looked like a leader stepped forward and asked Jing Chuan in a rough voice.

"It turned out to be a brother on the road, and there was a lot of disturbance, forgive me. We are passing merchants, and we are here to stop because of the hot weather. ”

"Merchant, I don't think you're like it! I don't care what you do, leave everything on your body, and get out, I'll spare your life, or I'll kill you here!"

"Hahaha, it looks like you're here to rob. Unfortunately, brother, you have robbed the wrong person. ”

"What a breath! Once you've entered this wood, you don't want to go out again! Brothers, come on!"

As soon as the bandit leader gave an order, more than a dozen bandits surrounded Jing Chuan and Li Quantuan and showed their knives. Li Quan hid behind Jing Chuan, trembling with fright.

Jing Chuan didn't want to talk nonsense with the bandits, so he also showed the knife in his hand.

When the bandit leader saw the knife, he was stunned, and then ordered the two bandits around him: "Go!"

The two bandits rushed towards Jing Chuan with knives, Jing Chuan stepped forward in two steps, flashed past the two bandits at a very fast speed, and did not even hear the sound of the collision of knives, only heard two dull sounds of knives cutting through the flesh, and the two bandits fell to the ground with a bang and could not move.

When the bandits saw it, they were so frightened that they took a few steps back. The bandit leader also showed a surprised expression on his face, and then smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, I didn't expect there to be two more hits, look at the knife!"

The leader roared, rushed towards Jing Chuan, and slashed down according to Jing Chuan. Jing Chuan dodged to the side and dodged a slash, and the leader immediately bent down again, and the knife was pressed against the ground and swept towards Jing Chuan's feet, and Jing Chuan immediately jumped away. As soon as he stood on the ground, the leader rolled in front of Jing Chuan, and another knife cut him in the abdomen, Jing Chuan blocked it with a vertical knife, raised his right foot, and kicked the leader in the chest. The force of that kick was very huge, and I heard a dull cry from the leader, and the whole person flew out and hit a poplar tree, and with a "snap", the poplar tree shook off many leaves. The leader fell heavily to the ground along the tree, and a lot of blood came out of his mouth, and he couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Jing Chuan walked over with a knife, stepped on his chest, and then put the knife on his neck, ready to finish him off with a single sword.

When the bandits next to them saw it, they all threw their knives, knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Heroes spare their lives, heroes spare their lives!"

Jing Chuan looked at the leader, who was already dying, he rolled his eyes, his hand clenched the knife, and he was about to cut it, but he suddenly stopped, thought about it, or let go of the leader, and said to those bandits: "Get out!"

The bandits kowtowed like garlic, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, hero!"

Jing Chuan put away his knife, saw Li Quan standing aside in a daze, and said to him, "Prepare to go." ”

Li Quan was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said "Okay, okay" and went to pack his luggage.

When the two of them packed up their things and were about to leave the woods, Jing Chuan stopped, looked back at the two bandits who had fallen to the ground after he had killed, a trace of sadness and helplessness crossed his face, and then left.
