Chapter 2231 Halfway House
After hearing Bing Zhixie’s intentions, Gao Feng said: “We came out to find Cang Ye, why did we suddenly go to rescue people? Can we not do things half-heartedly?”
< br>Bing Zhixie: "I have thought about it and want to take it away Cang Ye is too risky, and it is not under our control. The chance of success is low, and it is not a feasible method."
"Then we should return to the oasis. Since we agreed to help the queen, If one method fails, you can think of another way." Gao Feng said.
“You don’t have to go back to the city to think about a solution.” Bing Zhixie said: “There are still about ten days left in half a month. I will go find someone first and then rush back. Now that I go back, it’s just the same if I can’t find a solution. Waiting.”
Hayate pondered.
Bing Zhixie said again: "You are more seriously injured than me, and your previous injuries are not all healed. You can rest for a few days when you return to the oasis. I should help with the affairs of Rondo Langcarson Church."
"Will my injury be more serious than yours? It sounds like you are stronger than me." Gale was not convinced: " Huh, if Cang Ye's power hadn't suppressed me, would I be like this?" He thought to himself, wouldn't it be shameful for him to leave like this, and said, "I think what you said makes sense. If you want to find someone, I'll go too. I'm here. If you have an eye liner, you can get more information."
A smile appeared on Bing Zhixie's lips.
"Hey, what are you laughing at? Grandma, you are playing tricks on me, right?" Hayate realized that he had been fooled, and did not want to be too embarrassed, so he said bravely: "I know you are irritating me, I did it on purpose. I was fooled by you... No, I wanted to help... Damn it!" He found that the more he explained, the more guilty he became, and he kicked the stone angrily. After thinking about it, I still felt reluctant and said: "I just thought about helping you find someone, Celeste, even if you don't provoke me, the result will be the same!"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Bing Zhixie turned around and walked towards the two Garans who were dozens of meters away.
"You...you..." Hayate was so angry at his attitude that he was speechless. It was clear that he was not going because he was provoked, but he made it seem as if he was provoked.
……
Two days later.
Kayan is a place with a harsh environment. The city is built up of several rock mountains. The people who stay here can only barely survive. In the summer, the only well here can still produce water. In winter, they can only rely on Live by storing water or delivering water from outside.
At the same time, it is a transit station in the desert. Many traders from north to south and west to east will stop here to rest. Kayan is also a halfway house. Men under the age of 16 who have been tried by sentencing courts or tribunals and have committed misdemeanors will be detained in a halfway house for punishment. Therefore, this place often becomes a place where the Sand Bandits look for new subordinates. Many boys who have not yet reached adulthood have been in contact with the Sand Bandits early on. Some join the gang directly, and some become informants for the Sand Bandits after returning to the city. It was in a similar place like this that Swift Eagle met Hayate, and even his name was given by Hayate.
Because of the above reasons, Kayan is a place where information gathers. The guards here have information about many merchants going south, north, east and west. Gale led Bing Zhixie and the others to this place that few outsiders knew about to ask for news.
The guard is a man with tanned skin and a three-color cloth turban. His face has been covered with a brown mask to prevent wind and sand for many years. Only the area above the bridge of the nose and below the eyebrows is exposed. But with just this little exposed skin, you can see the cut scars on his face, and in addition, his pair of transparent silver eyes.
He had just filled the water with an old wooden bucket. When he heard the footsteps of outsiders coming, he only glanced sideways, still dragging the two buckets feebly, and poured the water into the rocks. In a large water tank outside, cover the water tank with wooden boards and stones.
"Hey buddy, has any Sabanta businessman come here with a girl with long green hair in the past few days?" Hayate didn't have any extra polite words and directly stated his intention when meeting.
The Kayan guard waved his hand and walked into the stone house carved under the rock mountain. He turned back and glanced at the three strangers warily.
Haifeng signaled Bing Zhixie and the other three to wait outside, and followed him in.
“I didn’t expect there was such a place hidden in the desert.” Silio looked around and saw the closed gate under the rocky mountain opposite. That should be the halfway house for juvenile offenders that Hayate said.
There were some noises behind the gate, probably from the teenagers detained here, but there were not many noises, and I don’t know how many were being guarded.
After seven or eight minutes, Gao Feng came out of the stone house and threw a new water bag to each of them: "This thing is not cheap. Drinking it can restore some physical strength and quench thirst." Inside the water bag The poured liquid is light green and goose yellow and translucent. It has no taste when you drink it, only a slight sourness.
“Is there any news?” Garland held the skin bag but did not drink.
Haifeng held up the skin bag and drank a few sips, wiped his mouth and nodded: "In the past five days, only a group of merchants passed by, and they spent the night here less than ten hours ago. . Well, the fresh camel dung over there is probably what they left behind."
"Then..."
"There was a young woman with green hair in the team. The guard said he didn't see any external injuries on the woman, but she was probably under control." Hayate said, "The guard didn't ask them where they were going next. . They just said that they seemed to be going to Xiangshan City.”
"Xiangshan City... is in the east." Silio recalled the map in his mind and said, "It's not that close to here."
Half Wind said: "It's not just a question of whether it's close or not, there's an angel over there. The territory controlled by the faction."
"What's the problem?" Bing Zhixie was puzzled.
"There is no big problem. It belongs to the hinterland of the True Religion. Outsiders who don't abide by the rules usually will not end well."
Silio asked him back: "You yourself are a rule-abiding person. ”
Gale glanced at him and smiled lightly: "That's no problem. We don't have to go to Xiangshan City and intercept those businessmen halfway."
"Eat, rest, and then rush on." Silio arranged the following plans like a leader.
After Hayate and the other four left. The door of the halfway house opened, and a thin but fair and neat teenager wearing shabby clothes walked out.
"Why are you hiding?" The guard with handicapped legs came out of his house. He was like a hopeless body and said in a voice that was almost dry: "Do you know any of those people? "
The teenager nodded.
"You're afraid of seeing people you knew in the past."
"Yes." The teenager lowered his head in shame.
"Heh." The guard smiled sarcastically: "You are not suitable to be my student yet, because you still have dignity and self-love. Only when you put down your self-esteem will I teach you how to truly kill. Trick! Hum..."
The young man stood at the gate in a daze, a small piece of earth and stone fell on his head, and he immediately swept away the dust, even though the clothes on his body were old and Damn it, he didn't want to be contaminated by any unclean dust.
The guard noticed his actions and turned his back and said: "Come in and eat. Wash the dishes after you finish. Use less water."
