"Squeaky--"

A sharp whistle came from behind a sandy slope, and then, a flower-winged falcon gliding silently from behind the sandy slope, a pair of brown eyes with golden rings staring at the front closely, two But the sharp claws suddenly protruded, hooked a running field mouse, and then flapped its wings twice, drawing a beautiful arc in midair, and went straight to the sky.

A shattered felt hat poked out carefully from behind the mound. Under the shattered felt hat was a dirty face with a pair of vivid black eyes, but at this moment these beautiful eyes were full of disappointment. .

The field mouse was used to catch the hawk, and now the hawk tore the thread from his hand and snatched the field mouse.

"Dog Bandit!"

Xiao Yuhua looked at the falcon that had disappeared into the clouds and cursed in a low voice, then stood up holding his baggy sheepskin pants.

This is a large piece of red sandstone land. Because there is no water, only some Haloxylon and red willow drought-tolerant plants grow here.

On the edge of the red sandstone, Xiao Yuhua saw a jujube tree. With a cheer, he turned a hollow somersault from the high sandy slope and landed firmly on another piece of red sandstone, his feet wrapped in cowhide. On the red sandstone, footprints like two wet hooves were left.

His body was jumping like a projectile on the patchwork red sandstone, and he came to the side of the rare Jujube tree without much effort.

The sandy dates on the sandy date tree have turned red, and some of them have even turned deep red. As for the leaves of the sandy date tree that have been coated with a layer of silver powder, they have not changed color at this time, but some too stubborn leaves fall on the ground. on the ground.

Xiao Yuhua is very experienced in eating sand dates, only those that are really ripe can lose their astringency and leave a trace of sweetness.

After Xiao Yuhua collected a handful of overripe sand dates, he stopped picking them. This thing must not be eaten too much, as eating too much will be extremely harmful to the back door, and he does not want to repeat that experience again.

Sand dates need to be eaten one by one. People who stuff their mouths with sand dates are fools, and they can't even open their mouths if they are astringent.

The red sandstone cannot store water, but there must be water sources around the large red sandstone.

After passing through a grove of red willows with strange shapes, Xiao Yuhua came to a clear spring.

He looked around cautiously.

He squatted down again and listened carefully to the movement around him.

There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the red willows, which caused the branches to rub against each other. Xiao Yuhua knelt down on one knee, put his mouth on the water, and gulped down the clear water.

A rope suddenly jumped up from the spring, tightly strangled his neck, Xiao Yuhua was startled, grabbed the noose with both hands, trying to untie the bondage, but the rope had already been strangled into his flesh, causing He couldn't breathe.

I can only hold on to the rope desperately, grab a little space for myself, and breathe well.

Two strong men in leather clothes ran out laughingly from the red willow bushes, one was pulling a leather rope, and the other opened his arms to catch Xiao Yuhua.

Xiao Yuhua nimbly ran around the pool, and while running, he drew out his knife and slashed at Piso fiercely.

After the leather rope was cut a hole, the knife couldn't cut it in. Looking at the silver-white iron wire under the leather rope, Xiao Yuhua let go of his hands, took two quick steps on the ground, then jumped up and hit his shoulder hard. To the brawny man with the leather strap.

The strong man laughed loudly, he raised his leg with a kick, and was about to kick Xiao Yuhua over and then tie him up again, but he didn't expect that the kick was completely empty. The small knife in Xiao Yuhua's hand was deeply inserted into his shoulder, and with The knife made a half-circle in mid-air as the starting point, and the jujube wood prong in the other hand pierced the back of the strong man's neck.

At this moment, the strong man who was chasing him rushed over shouting.

Xiao Yuhua put away the leather rope.

This is a good thing. The iron wire that can only be made in the Chang'an workshop is twisted in the leather rope. It is the best whether it is used to kill people or tie things.

Seeing that Xiao Yuhua was no longer running, the burly man in leather clothes became slower and smaller as he rushed towards Xiao Yuhua. After passing through the pool, he rushed out diagonally.

Seeing the figure of the strong man disappear into the red willow bushes, Xiao Yuhua followed him leisurely. This red willow bush is his home, and no one is more familiar with this place than him.

After a while, a large piece of red willow clumps swayed wildly, and after a while, Xiao Yuhua dragged the strong man's body back to the edge of the pool again.

Today he didn't catch a falcon, but caught two fat sheep. Xiao Yuhua was very satisfied, and he lived up to his pretentiousness these days.

He was the first to take off the boots on the corpse, retching from the stench from the boots, and then quickly buried all four boots in the hot sand to remove the smell.

Then he carefully peeled off the clothes on the strong man, and seeing dense gnats and lice crawling everywhere on them, he buried these clothes in the hot sand again.

The sand in Hexi is scorching hot during the day and freezing cold at night. It only needs to be treated twice, one day and one night, and the clothes full of parasites will be clean.

Xiao Yuhua left them a loincloth, which was the last trace of decency.

He found the luggage of the two people from the bushes again, and after opening it, he threw away all the dates hidden in the pocket, because the luggage of the two men was full of food, and there were five pieces of bacon mutton, which was enough He ate alone for a few days.

Looking up at the sky, at this time, it was not time to light the fire, so he had no choice but to sigh, cut the bacon with a knife and ate it with naan bread, and when he was thirsty, he lay down and took another sip of water.

The wind on the Gobi has cooled down since the afternoon, and now I can already feel the coolness blowing on my body.

Xiao Yuhua quickly cut open the wound on the strong man's corpse with a knife, let the blood that hadn't come to remember to coagulate continue to flow for a while, he quickly smeared the blood on his face, and stuck a bloody knife in his In the armpits, if you don't look carefully.

Also thought he was a corpse impaled by a sharp blade.

Xiao Yuhua lay on the ground for a long time, obviously feeling that the enemy had come to him, why didn't there be any warning signal from his body?
Moreover, there was an indescribably sweet scent that enveloped him all the time, making him reluctant to open his eyes.

"Are you eating human flesh?" A woman's soft voice that made Xiao Yuhua's heart tremble came over.

Xiao Yuhua knew that he could no longer pretend, so he turned around, got up, and continued squatting on the ground to peel mutton and eat it.

In the middle, in order to hide his beating heart, he lowered his head and drank two sips of clear water.

"Are you drinking my bathwater?"

Xiao Yuhua spewed out the water that he just drank because of this sentence.

Xiao Yuhua glanced at the woman in front of her through the strands of blood-smeared hair, and felt that she was so clean, and drinking her bath water was not a big problem. Besides, this pool was not a stagnant pool. The water has long pushed the dirty water out of the pool.

"There's water here, why don't you clean yourself up, my brother is different from you, he cleans himself up no matter what time it is"

Xiao Yuhua shrank back his hooves-like feet carefully, because he looked down and saw a pair of red boots with flowers on the woman's feet. Not to mention the pretty ones, they were not something ordinary people could wear. .

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to catch slaves. Besides, you are from Tang Dynasty, so no one dares to take you as a slave."

Master Shanxing said, during the three days we were stationed here, you peeked at us for three days and stole a bag of salt and a jar of wine. an old beggar, he didn’t catch you, and said you were a good man.”

hello, are you a nice guy? "

Xiao Yuhua looked up at the orchid who was as beautiful as a fairy in front of him, and wanted to speak, but after seeing Naha's smiling face for some reason, he quickly lowered his head.

He was very worried that if he said something, he would scare away this beautiful orchid who was silent and had a nice voice.

"It turned out to be a fool." Naha sighed. She thought this guy was as powerful as her brother, but she didn't expect to get no response after saying so many words. Naha thought he was a fool and felt that she was unnecessary. Talk too much to a fool.

"I'm not an idiot"

Naha, who was about to leave, got a response, so she came to the edge of the pool, raised her skirt and squatted on the ground, looked at Xiao Yuhua and said, "Did you kill these two bandits?"

Xiao Yuhua lowered his head and said, "They are not bandits, they are voles."

Naha stood up and kicked the corpse, "Liar, they are humans, not voles."

Xiao Yuhua said, "All those who live underground are voles."

"That's not necessarily true. Marmots also live underground. Let me tell you, my brother's roasted marmots are delicious. Have you ever eaten marmots?"

Xiao Yuhua raised his head in astonishment, he really couldn't connect this beautiful orchid in pink makeup with the marmot with a pair of big die teeth.

Naha wiped her saliva and said, "Little beggar, what are you looking at, and then I will dig out your eyeballs."

Xiao Yuhua quickly lowered his head, and heard Naha say again, "The corpses of these two bandits don't dare to waste. If you put them on the wooden poles, one on the south and one on the north, I guarantee that this large red willow grove will be The only bad thing about your territory is that it stinks, but you shouldn’t dislike it if you are so dirty, right? When the meat is rotten and washed by the rain a few times, the corpse will turn into a skeleton.”

At that time, others will not dare to enter your forest when they see the skeleton.”

Xiao Yuhua asked in surprise, "Are you a Cypriot?"

Naha said in surprise, "You also know the Cypriots?"

Xiao Yuhua said, "Only you Cypriots have the habit of poking corpses on poles to scare others."

By the way, I haven't asked yet, which king's Orchid are you? "

Naha was furious when she heard the words.

Kicked Xiao Yuhua on the shoulder and said, "My name is Yunna"

You can also call me Naha, I am not someone's orchid, if you have to say yes, I am my brother's orchid! "

Xiao Yuhua held his head and let Naha kick him non-stop. It's not that he didn't want to capture this beautiful little orchid and sell it for money. The problem is that there are several sun-tanned bald heads in the red willow bushes. That.

His intuition told him that if he dared to think badly about this little orchid, he would be beaten to a pulp by those violent monks with sticks.
