Chapter 167: Lonely Smoke in the Desert (2)

Chen Yang stood alone on the edge of the boundless desert, like a grain of sand in the desert. The sand dunes on which he stood were dozens of meters higher than the Yellow River behind him, and the rushing water of the Yellow River was rattling.

Chen Yang is at a loss, his future is confused, and he doesn't even have a way, where to go. As far as the eye can see, the desert is like the sea, and the uneven sand dunes are like the undulating waves in the sea.

Chen Yang walked into the desert for the first time, tried to take a few steps into the desert, and his feet sank deeply, and his two shoes were filled with sand. I didn't go far before I felt the pain in my feet, sat on the sand dune and took off my shoes, poured out the sand in my shoes, and saw a few blisters on my feet.

Chen Yang saw that it was getting late, hungry and hungry, and there was nothing to eat or drink with him, so he rushed into the desert, either starving to death or dying of thirst. Chen Yang thought about it and thought, let's wait until tomorrow to prepare dry food and water before going in, I don't know how long the road ahead is?

Chen Yang retreated to the same place, saw a black forest on the bank of the Yellow River under the sand dunes, walked down the sand dunes to the bank of the Yellow River, and saw a large bare jujube trees rustling in the cold wind.

In a thatched nunnery in the jujube forest, there was a faint light coming out, and the sound of drinking and punching came out, Chen Yang didn't expect that there was such a family on the bank of the Yellow River and on the edge of the desert.

Chen Yang walked to the thatched hermitage and said loudly: "Hello, I'm passing by, and I want to spend the night here when it's dark, don't you know what to do?"

"Who? won't you go home when it's dark?" The wooden door of the thatched hermitage creaked open in half, and an old woman on crutches stepped out.

Chen Yang saw the old woman who was standing unsteadily, and quickly stretched out his hand to support her, and said: "My name is Chen Yang, I have thought about going to Tianshan Mountain in this desert, and now it is late, I want to borrow it for one night, old man, I don't know if it is convenient or not?"

"What's so convenient or inconvenient, my thatched hermitage is for passers-by who cross the desert, and it costs money and it's very expensive. The old woman said in a hoarse voice.

Chen Yang knew that he was penniless now, so he hesitated and said, "I don't have any money, then I won't go in, I'll just sleep outside here for the night." ”

"No money, look at you so young, you look quiet, how can you go out without money, how can you cross the desert without money?" the old woman glanced at Chen Yang, who was exhausted, and said in disbelief.

"My money was on a friend who wasn't with me. Chen Yang explained.

The money is on Wang Zhenren, I don't know where Wang Zhenren, the old Taoist priest, died, and I haven't seen him for a long time.

"I said, it's almost the New Year, it's snowy outside, you better come in and live, and then give me the money when your friend comes." The old woman said.

"Then thank you mother-in-law!" Chen Yang suddenly felt warm in his heart and thanked him.

Although the thatched hut is broken, it is also sheltered from the wind and cold, an oil lamp illuminates the inside of the thatched hermitage, and an iron bucket is beeping and burning wooden blocks to keep warm. There were several people lying on seven or eight wooden beds placed side by side, and on a square table sat three men and one woman, four people who were drinking.

A drinker saw Chen Yang come in and said, "Little baby, come and have a drink to warm up!"

Chen Yang didn't know these people, and said, "Thank you, big brother, I don't know how to drink." ”

"You don't know how to drink, don't you, look at you, although you are young, but you are also a face of wind and frost, you must have experienced a lot of hardships, you are also going to cross the desert to the Tianshan Mountains?" said the rugged man.

"I'm just a small security guard, I don't have much experience, I'm going to cross the desert to the Tianshan Mountains, and you are also going to the Tianshan Mountains?" Chen Yang asked.

"Of course, the people here are all going to the Tianshan Mountains, and the Tianshan Mountains have produced a rare treasure Golden Snow Lotus, which is said to be immortal after eating it, and everyone is looking for the Golden Snow Lotus. The rugged man said.

Chen Yang was shocked when he heard this, why did so many people know about the Golden Snow Lotus, and they all went to the Tianshan Mountains to find it, how many Golden Snow Lotus there are, whether it is one, two, or one by one.

"How many golden snow lotuses are there, and so many people go to look for them, can they all find them?" Chen Yang asked.

"At first glance, you are a little kid who has just entered the rivers and lakes, and you don't understand anything. How many more? Tell you, there is only one golden snow lotus, and even if you go, you won't have your share!" said a man sleeping on a wooden bed, in a loud voice.

"Scarface, didn't you fall asleep with too much stuffing? Why do you still bully a little brother in your sleep?" The woman who was drinking stood up, walked to Chen Yang's side, and said: "Little brother, don't be afraid, look at you white and pure, sister, I like you when I see you, it seems that we are destined, follow my sister from now on, I will protect you." ”

Chen Yang saw a woman who looked about the same as a half-aged, her face was scarlet and snow-white, dressed with flowers and branches, and she said with a pungent pink fragrance.

Chen Yang saw that the woman reached out to pull him, and hurriedly took a step back.

"Sister-in-law Hong, return your little brother, I think he can be your son!" Scarface sneered.

"Shut your foul mouth, am I that old? Come here, brother, come and have some food to warm up. Sister-in-law Hong said, and pulled him to sit on the square table without waiting for Chen Yang's consent.

Chen Yang sat on the table and looked at the three men who were staring at him, where could they eat.

"This is Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou, you just call Big Brother. Sister-in-law Hong, ignoring the faces of the three men, pointed at them and said.

"Hello three big brothers!" Chen Yang nodded at the three men and said.

Zhou Lao Er poured half a bowl of wine and said loudly: "Only after drinking this bowl of wine can you be considered a brother!"

Chen Yang picked up the bowl and drank it all, Chen Yang, who was choking on the high sorghum wine, coughed, and tears flowed out of his eyes.

"It's a man, let's follow my brother in the future! Let's go to the Tianshan Mountains to hunt for treasures. Zhou Lao Er said boldly.

"Then thank you second brother, when my friend comes, I will invite you to drink. Chen Yang said as they learned from their bold looks.

Chen Yang ate a few pieces of chicken, and under the persuasion of the three men, he drank two more bowls of wine, and fell asleep in a daze.

"I didn't expect this little brother to be a real person. Hongsao said.

"It's just a poor bastard, with no penny on him, not even anything of value. Boss Zhou said deflatedly after rummaging through Chen Yang's body.

"Throw him into the Yellow River to feed the water ghosts, and the province will rob us of the golden snow lotus when the time comes!" Scarface said viciously.

"It's just a doll, it scares you, keep it, maybe you can help on the road. Hongsao said.

The old woman added some pieces of wood to the fire and said, "My wife is asleep, what is there to call me?" ”

The old woman walked slowly out of the thatched hermitage with a crutch and entered another thatched hermitage.

"Seeing that this young man has some spiritual power, let's keep him for now, and let him help find the Golden Snow Lotus and get rid of it. The old woman whispered to the three people in the room.

"Jin Xuelian is a treasure that our four monsters of the Yellow River are determined to obtain, and anyone who wants it will die!" said a bald man in a fierce voice.

Chen Yang woke up not long after lying on the wooden bed, although the alcohol content was high, but Chen Yang still had some alcohol, and when he saw that the Zhou family brother persuaded him tightly, he followed the handful. People in the rivers and lakes sometimes can't help themselves, it's better to have more eyes and eyes, and they can save their lives at critical times.

The cold wind is howling outside the thatched hermitage, and the flowing water of the Yellow River is rattling, which makes people tremble. The snoring of everyone in the house shook the sky, and it seemed that the thatched hermitage was shaking.

Chen Yang couldn't sleep, walked out of the thatched hermitage, and turned to a big jujube tree behind the house to relieve himself. There was a biting sound in the grass not far away, Chen Yang slowly leaned over, and by the moonlight, he saw a weasel biting a hare, which was struggling to die.

Chen Yang had fought with the weasel spirit, and he had no good impression of this cunning animal, so he picked up a piece of dirt on the ground, threw it into the grass, and hit the weasel impartially, and the weasel was suddenly attacked, and threw the hare in a startled manner, and fled quickly.

The hare, estimated to be badly injured, kicked his leg a few times, and did not run away. Chen Yang walked over, squatted down and grabbed the hare with his hands, the hare struggled to escape, but as the wound healed quickly, the hare did not move, staring at Chen Yang with a pair of frightened eyes.

In a moment, the hare suddenly broke free from his hand with all his might, and ran away like an arrow. Chen Yang then remembered that his left hand could heal the wound, and he inadvertently grabbed the hare with his left hand, which also instantly healed the hare's wound and saved the hare's life.

"Don't sleep, what are you doing in the middle of the night?" Hongsao appeared behind Chen Yang at some point, and said softly as if she was afraid of scaring Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, turned around, looked at the bright red lips of the red sister-in-law as if he didn't know, and said, "Why has your voice changed, it is as pleasant as a girl's voice?"

Sister-in-law Hong was shocked, this kid is still so careful, even I can hear the change in my voice, it seems that he is not an incompetent stupid boy, I have never heard of a person who dares to cross the desert to the Tianshan Mountains.

"Maybe I just woke up!" Sister-in-law Hong coughed a few times and said calmly.

"I just came out to relieve myself and saw a weasel bite a hare, and I helped the hare to beat the weasel away, and the hare was scared away. Chen Yang said.

"I see that you are holding the hare, why did you let him run away again, it's a pity, there is one less braised hare to drink. Hongsao said.

"Why did your voice change back!" Chen Yang asked.

"Didn't I tell you, I slept and slept, it's almost dawn, hurry back to sleep, and I'll have to cross the desert tomorrow." Sister-in-law Hong didn't dare to talk to Chen Yang again, lest he see more flaws.

Hongsao quickly disappeared and walked into the thatched hermitage. Chen Yang glanced up at the gray night sky, and there were a few unknown birds perched on the jujube trees.

A gust of yin wind blew, Chen Yang felt something strange, could it be that the ghost king chased after him again, Chen Yang said secretly in his heart.

When Chen Yang looked closely, several black shadows disappeared in an instant, startling a few crows perched on the jujube tree, fluttering their wings and screaming to the other side of the Yellow River.

"These crows can't be ghosts too!" Chen Yang muttered to himself.

"Senior, why don't we catch Chen Yang now and ask him about Long Xiaoyu's whereabouts?"

"The woman who looks like you has gone back. Team Leader Zheng, who was monitoring the movement outside, said to the.

"Can that woman compare with me, her mouth is like a monster!" were very angry at Team Leader Zheng's words.

"Don't you see, the woman is dressed in disguise. Hanako, the old name, said.

"What kind of person is she in disguise?" asked the.

"I don't know, these people are not good stubble, let's stay away from them, it's almost dawn, let's leave in advance, so as not to run into Chen Yang." Hanako, the old name, said.
