Chapter 1487: Robbery in the Desert
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the silver dragon is flying, the petite silver moonlight dragon is bathing under the bright moon in the desert, its scales are shining like a newly born child, crazy Absorbing the energy and nutrients from the moonlight. Bing Zhixie sat on the sand dune, letting the wind blow on his chest. Under the dune were two small tents for him and Alice. One of them had a light on, which he turned on when he came out.
Two sandy walls were built with sand to protect against wind and sand. Two desert doodle birds were tied to a pillar erected beside the wall. They nested behind the windproof wall. Already fast asleep. The wind was not strong tonight, and it came and went. The wind and sand accumulated on the sides of the tent and at the base of the wall. It was not thick enough in the middle of the night, and it could not cover the short sand wall.
The wind has been blowing for a long time, and the sorrow clouds pressing on Bing Zhixie's chest have also eased a lot. Tiredness is rising, so he got up and walked down the sand dune back to his tent to sleep. Suddenly he heard a faint sound in the desert. . At first, he thought he heard it wrong. Although the night wind was not strong, the sudden blow against his ears still made a whistling sound. He listened carefully, and sure enough, he heard someone shouting again, and the voice was not far ahead. place.
Before Bing Zhixie walked over, the one-meter-long little dragon had already flown over. It was emitting cold white moonlight like clear water. Although it was not bright, it could illuminate the surroundings even when it flew low. A few meters. Under the illumination of the moonlight and the moonlight dragon, Bing Zhixie saw a person staggering towards him. When the person saw someone coming, he collapsed in the desert.
Bing Zhixie hurriedly ran up and helped the man up. He shouted twice and saw that he was not awake. When he looked through the light, he realized that he knew this man. This guy was the young man Ada who helped Gao Ge rescue the enemy by the lake the last time he went to Shaba Island. Bing Zhixie helped him to the tent and got him a water bottle to feed him.
At this time, Alice heard the noise, put on a coat and crawled out of the tent. When she saw the situation, she knew what was going on and rushed to help.
The chapped lips were moistened by the water, and a ray of coolness slid down her throat. Ada tasted the sweetness of the water and woke up faintly. Without even opening her eyes, she held the kettle and sucked it in big gulps. He drank all the pot of water before letting go. He gradually regained his composure while lying on the ground. He opened his eyes and saw Bing Zhixie and Alice right in front of him. He quickly sat up and said thank you repeatedly.
Alice helped him sit up and said, "Stop saying thank you. I'm asking you what's going on. Why did you appear in such a mess in the desert?"
Ada sat down against the wall, sighed, and told her experience.
It turned out that Ada traveled to Shaba Island. After parting with the mercenaries he had traveled with before, he did not dare to continue traveling alone, so he stayed in Shaba Island. Until more than ten days ago, a group of merchants sold goods in Kongsburg. After selling their goods at the market in Kongsburg, they collected some goods from the south and prepared to take them to the north for sale. Originally, this group of traders planned to take a detour to the west and avoid the desert area. However, they heard that there was a flood in the west and the roads were flooded in some places, so they decided to go north through the desert. When passing through Shaba Island, they met Ada. Went into the desert together.
Some of these vendors have walked through the desert before, and they know that sand thieves appear in the desert from time to time, but the vendors are lucky, thinking that firstly, they will not be unlucky enough to encounter sand thieves; secondly, Even if they meet, their team is a business trip formed by individual traders. Individual traders often travel here and there, and sometimes they have to go alone, so everyone brings weapons and has two hands. And the sand bandits are just looking for money. Small groups of sand bandits generally don't dare to attack caravans like them. Moreover, the sand bandits also know that small traders like them will not transport any valuable goods, and neither will large groups of sand bandits. will regard them as targets. That’s why I dared to walk in the desert boldly.
But they were unlucky. A group of blind bandits came to them two days ago. The traders were a bit ruthless in order to protect their property, but this group of sand thieves had so many people that the traders did not dare to resist and were looted and taken away by them. It happened that before the sand thief came, Ada had a stomachache and found a secluded place for convenience, and thus escaped. However, although he was not robbed by the sand thieves, he had to endure two days of torture without water or food. It was too hot during the day and he did not dare to walk around. Only at night could he come out to find something to eat. If he hadn't been lucky tonight and saw a bit of light that Bing Zhixie had lit in the tent, he would have died of thirst in the desert in a day or two.
After hearing this, Alice sighed that he was lucky, but she had a doubt in her heart. But now was not the time to discuss this issue with the weak Ada. She took two dry flour cakes from the tent, soaked them in water and gave them to Ada to eat, and brought him a piece of fruit. At this time, Bing Zhixie and Alice had only been in the desert for less than eight days, and there were still some fresh fruits they brought with them. However, Ada had been hungry for the past two days, so it was not suitable to eat those dried fish and meat, for fear of being bad for her stomach.
Ada drank a lot of water and ate a piece of half-soaked noodles and a piece of fruit. Now she was so tired that she fell asleep in Bing Zhixie's tent. .
When Alice saw her master giving up her tent to Ada, she pulled him aside and asked, "Master, where will you sleep?"
Bing Zhixie persuaded her to feel at ease and said with a smile : "Do you still have to worry about me? Go to sleep , You must be tired from running around for days. Take a rest early to refresh yourself. You will be tired tomorrow." Alice knew that the master could sleep anywhere as long as it was not a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, but she also hoped that the master could sleep warmly. Have a good sleep. Long-distance travel is the most tiring. If you don't sleep well at night, you won't be able to recover mentally and physically. But the master urged her to go back to sleep, so she had no choice but to return to the tent.
In the tent, Alice couldn't fall asleep wrapped in a sleeping bag. She had never thought about whether Master slept peacefully before. Maybe she had thought about it occasionally, but Master was in her heart. She has always had a very tall image, so she has never been worried. Instead, she thinks it is amazing that Master can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to do. But now she was worried. He was thinking that it was so cold in the desert at night, would the master get cold if he slept outside? I have been riding a desert doo-doo in the desert for the past few days. Not to mention the scorching heat during the day, my body is almost falling apart. Is it uncomfortable for Master to sleep outside?
These questions were turning over and over in her head, and she told herself that her master had always been great. He had stayed in places as cold as the Linhai Snowfield and the Holy Snow Mountain, so how could she be afraid of this cold. But I was still worried. She crawled out of her sleeping bag and took her coat out of the tent.
Outside the tent, Alice looked around and found her master lying in the corner of the sand wall of the desert dud bird. She used the feathers of the dud bird as a quilt. She covered her mouth with a smile and said to herself: "Master is quite good at thinking. " She walked quietly. In fact, she also knew that even if she was light-footed, the master would have noticed it already. But she still walked to the master and carefully covered her with her coat. On the master.
“You haven’t slept yet?” When Bing Zhixie opened her eyes, she saw Alice standing in front of her with her knees propped up and a smile on her face. A faint wisp of body fragrance came out from the front of her clothes. Bing Zhixie couldn't help but feel confused, touched her nose, and asked: "Why are you looking at me."
Alice smiled and said: "I see, Master, you and this big fire Chickens sleep together, so funny, sleep It's quite interesting."
Bing Zhixie twisted his shoulders and rested his head on the thick feathers of the dudu bird, saying, "Not bad." He said again, "Thank you."
No matter how bright the moonlight shines, the surroundings are still dark. Alice squats in the shadow of the tall doo-doo bird. Only her big eyes can see clearly in the moonlight. She seems to not want to leave and wants to chat. .
Bing Zhixie stood up holding on to the wall, walked out of the corner and said, "Did you hear something wrong with what Ada said just now?"
"Yes." Alice followed from behind and said, "He The robbers in question not only robbed him They also robbed people of their belongings. I wonder why the robbers wanted to rob those traders. They are just small traders, not wealthy businessmen, and they have no extortion value at all."
"What do you think? What?" Bing Zhixie asked.
