Chapter 26: Relatives are coming
“There is still one day left, and we will probably be able to return to Hutou City.”
Xue San said while handing the water bag to Zheng Fan.
“I don’t know if everything is okay in the inn.”
Zheng Fan is a little worried. Whether it is a person or a dog, what he cares about most is his own nest, especially when you come This feeling of caring will be even stronger when you are in a completely unfamiliar environment.
"My lord, they don't have to worry. The inn is probably fine now." Xue San laughed "hehe".
He and Liang Cheng had a great time following their master outside to kill the barbarians this time, but they probably had no time to spare for the blind man at home.
During this period of time, everyone should be able to express the feelings that have been suppressed in their hearts for the past six months.
"My Lord, the wind is getting stronger and stronger. Find a place to take shelter. There may be a sandstorm." Liang Cheng has been paying attention to the weather.
People who have not lived in a desert environment for a long time do not know how terrible sandstorms are. If you are not careful, you may lose your way in the sandstorm. Even worse, you may be swallowed directly by the sandstorm. It's not impossible.
"Well, let's find a place to take shelter."
Zheng Fan had learned to ride horses with A Qiu and Liang Cheng before, but they were only able to ride, but the two men around him didn't either. Urging him, the two days of traveling gave him enough time to adapt. Now, he is able to ride a horse with ease.
The three of them found a half-slope. They were far away and could not see clearly. When they got closer, they found that it should be an abandoned building. It should have been abandoned for some years, and there were still some old buildings here. The traces of someone's stay should be the temporary foothold of some caravans.
Liang Cheng went to tie everyone's horses inside, while Xue San began to clean up the floor.
After a busy day, the three of them sat down and began to share the dry food.
Just after eating two bites, a sandstorm started, the sky became gloomy instantly, the wind howled, and the dense sand was as pervasive as rain.
Fortunately, the location where the three of them are now can block the wind and sand, and it can be regarded as a rare quiet place under this "howling".
"Hey, I don't know if Ali is full now. Ali has a big appetite. He probably works as a helper outside, so it's hard for him to eat well." Xue San suddenly said melancholy. .
Liang Cheng seemed to wait for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
“Yes.”
Zheng Fan's ears are almost ringing. From the time he left Hutou City to now, every day, morning, noon and night, whenever the opportunity allows, Xue San and Liang Cheng will tell themselves how Fan Li is doing now.
Have Fan Li had enough to eat today?
Has Fan Li taken a shower today?
Did Fan Li sleep well today?
For those who didn’t know, I thought they were very affectionate brothers.
At the beginning, Zheng Fan also nodded along,
Yes, it is not easy for Fan Li;
Yes, it is difficult for Fan Li;
Yes, it is difficult for Fan Li We pay too much.
But slowly, Zheng Fan became numb.
At this moment, while they were eating dry food, they actually started again.
Actually, Xue San and Liang Cheng don’t want to mention this every day, but the blind man specifically explained before departure that everyone has already licked and recovered a little, but Fan Li is not here now, so we can only rely on you and the master. Help Fan Li lick him from the air when he's outside.
The most terrible thing is that because Fan Li doesn't know where he is following the caravan, neither Xue San nor Liang Cheng can confirm whether Fan Li's licking has had any effect and whether his strength has recovered to some extent.
To be on the safe side,
I can only repeat the rhythm every day,
It's hard for them too...
"After we finish eating, let's take a rest." Zheng Fan suggested.
It's getting late now, and no one knows when the sandstorm will blow. It's better to rest here and start back early tomorrow.
"Okay, Lord, I will listen to you, I..."
Xue San's eyes suddenly condensed, he bit his lips, turned his hands and wrists, and the two daggers were It had fallen into the palm of my hand, and my ears were twitching.
Liang Cheng stood up silently and looked towards the entrance. The nails on his hands began to grow slowly.
Zheng Fan immediately untied the knife wrapped in coarse cloth and held the handle of the knife with both hands.
Outside, the sound of horses was heard. It should be that a group of people was coming, but as they gradually approached, the sound suddenly disappeared.
Xue San stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and lowered his voice and said:
"Those people discovered that we are here."
When Zheng Fan heard this, he began to think about it. He thought that another group of people should have chosen to come here to take shelter after encountering a sandstorm. As a result, as soon as they got closer, they found someone inside.
Here, it is not in Hutou City, but in the desert. There are no cameras, no surveillance, and no police uncle standing in the guard box not far away.
It can be said that the desert is a lawless place, especially in this kind of weather. No matter what happens, the sand and dust will help cover up all traces.
At the entrance, a figure walked in. This was a woman, wearing a white robe.
This robe is very similar to the sweatshirt Zheng Fan is wearing.
When the woman came in, Xue San's eyes narrowed, but the woman only stopped halfway. Half of her face was hidden under a veil, only a pair of deep eyes were exposed.
The woman's eyes began to look at Zheng Fan and the other three, and then she said:
"The wind has picked up, we need to take shelter and find a place to borrow a place."
As she spoke, , there was a series of footsteps outside.
The first ones who ran in were two four or five-year-old children, one boy and one girl, wearing clothes made of fur, followed closely by two big barbarian men wearing black cloaks.
There are many desert barbarian tribes scattered throughout the desert;
A hundred years ago, they had a royal court that could organize them. At that time, the desert barbarian tribes caused great harm to the Yan State. In order to successfully resist the barbarian invasion, the monarch of Yan State even had to go on several personal expeditions and mobilize the power of the entire Yan State.
However, with the decline of the Barbarian Royal Court, it no longer has appeal, and the Barbarians have completely turned into a piece of loose sand.
If this were not the case, there would not be any behavior of the contemporary kings of the Yan Kingdom to cut down the vassal vassal.
However, Zheng Fan and the others had fought with the barbarians a few days ago, and even took the heads of the barbarians to ask for rewards. Now that they saw the barbarians again, the instinct to be on guard was naturally unavoidable.
In fact, after seeing the two children and the two barbarian men appearing, Zheng Fan had been waiting for Liang Cheng and Xue San's movements. Once they started, he would immediately rush forward with his sword, although he didn't think he was that big. It's useful, but...at least I can give myself an extra target to share some firepower.
However, neither Liang Cheng nor Xue San made a violent move. In the end, Liang Cheng even nodded to the woman in white robe and said:
"Come in."< br>
In this way, two groups of people settled in the small space.
Zheng Fan and the others are in the north corner, and the woman in white robe is in the south corner.
After they came in, they also began to eat and drink, but the two barbarian men sat on the outermost edge, glancing towards Zheng Fan and the others from time to time, with a clear sense of caution.
However, the two sides were wary of each other and did not let the two children calm down.
The nature of children made them quickly start chasing each other and playing with each other after eating and drinking. They even ran to Zheng Fan and the others several times.
Zheng Fan could clearly feel that every time the two dolls chased him, the bodies of the two barbarian men would stiffen slightly, obviously preparing for a sudden violence on his side. They detained the two dolls as hostages.
However, this did not happen.
The sandstorm isn't over yet, and we don't know how long it will last, but it's really getting late.
The two children couldn't hold on at first, and they were tired from playing, so they lay down next to the woman in white robe and fell asleep.
At this time, the woman in white robe stood up, holding a wine bottle in her hand, and took the initiative to walk towards Zheng Fan.
She handed the wine bottle over to Zheng Fan, who was obviously in charge.
Zheng Fan shook his head, pointed at his throat, and said:
"I've caught a bit of cold, sore throat, can't drink."
It's not shameful to be cowardly, there is no need to pretend to be cool and put yourself in danger.
Throughout the ages, the words of many heroes before their death were: Damn, this wine is poisonous!
Although Zheng Fan felt that this woman would most likely take a sip by herself after she refused to drink, to show her magnanimity and invisible contempt for herself.
Routines are like this.
The woman in white robe didn't take it seriously, pulled out the stopper, took off her veil, took two sips of the wine in it boldly, and then wiped her mouth with her sleeves.
Bah,
Routine!
Zheng Fan thought with disdain.
At the same time, he also sighed silently:
Tsk tsk, back killer.
If you don’t take off the veil, it’s hard to tell your age. Once you take off the veil, you can tell that you are older. You should be forty, right?
Although she is indeed handsome, she is really inferior to Si Niang.
Actually, Zheng Fan also knew that according to the nature of his two subordinates, if the opposite party was a Yan caravan, there would be something to be said for it. However, since the opposite party has already stated that they are barbarians, if conditions permit, they They will definitely kill the opponent directly to eliminate all unstable factors.
But since Liang Cheng and Xue San did not take action, this means that this woman is very dangerous, and they are not absolutely sure to kill her.
At the same time, it was obvious that this woman was also very afraid of this place.
The woman threw the wine bottles in her hands to the two barbarian men behind her. The two barbarian men thanked her very gratefully, and immediately picked up the wine bottles and drank from them.
“Do you know who these two dolls are?” The woman suddenly pointed at the two sleeping little dolls over there and asked.
Liang Cheng and Xue San did not speak. At this time, it should be the time for the bosses of both parties to communicate.
But Zheng Fan didn't say anything, as if he didn't hear him. He just didn't want to put you on the stage and embarrass you.
The woman pursed her lips, with a smile on her lips, and then continued:
"They are the grandson and granddaughter of the Shatuo leader."
Liang Cheng's eyes narrowed Getting up, Xue San stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, while Zheng Fan stopped covering up and put his hand on the handle of the knife under the bunk.
The Shatuo tribe was the chicken selected by the Zhenbei Army this time. In the fishing trip a few days ago, the elites from their tribe were caught. In that battle, the Zhenbei Army captured the elite members of the Shatuo tribe. After a total annihilation, the next day another cavalry was sent to wipe out the tribe. At the same time, it was also to gain some war benefits from this war.
It's true... enemies have met.
"I saw your horse. It has the imprint of the Zhenbeihou Li family on it. You are the servants of the Li family.
The family tradition of the Zhenbeihou family is still worthy of its name. Everything must be done I must have done a great job. I set out from the royal court and galloped all the way to get these two babies together. I rescued the baby, but I didn’t expect that I would encounter the interception of the Marquis of Zhenbei on the road.
Didn’t you say that your Marquis is in a very bad situation now?”
“ I think there seems to be some misunderstanding between us..." Zheng Fan opened his mouth to explain.
The war is over and now he just wants to go home.
"Misunderstanding?" The woman in white robe smiled brighter. Suddenly, she took a step back, made seals with her hands, and shouted:
"Barbaric curse, raise the corpse!"
The two barbarian men who had been sharing drinks before suddenly became physically Trembling, a look of horror appeared in his eyes at the same time. He turned to look at the woman in front of him. One of them pointed at her as if he wanted to question something, but at the next moment, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the two big men began to have blood. Overflowed, and their faces instantly turned blue-black.
“Get up!”
The woman drank again.
The two barbarian men suddenly stood up. The vitality in their bodies had been completely extinguished, but their bodies suddenly swelled and became extremely "strong". Wisps of death energy circulated around their bodies;
< br>At the same time, light green light began to emit from the eyes, and two fangs began to slowly spill out from the corners of the lips.
In an instant, the woman used wine as a guide to sacrifice two living people into living corpses!
When the woman began to cast the spell, Zheng Fan and the other two people had already stood up and were ready. However, after seeing two living corpses appearing, Zheng Fan, who was standing behind Liang Cheng, suddenly poked Liang Cheng's cheek with his finger. back.
,,
Liang Cheng turned around and looked at his master with some confusion.
Zheng Fan nodded his chin forward,
said:
"Your relative, can you say hello?"
"... ..." Liang Cheng.
