"Sister, something's wrong. Please pull the horse over quickly..."
Asuna, who was resting against the stone wall, suddenly opened her eyes, poked Shuzi's hand next to her, and said in great panic: "Hurry up, let's go together!"
Shuzi didn't know what happened, but she heard the horror in Asuna's voice.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly remembered that Ashina, like Xiao Hei, lived in this desert, and he was just a passerby.
The startled Shuzi quickly climbed up from the stone slab, took Asuna's hand, and ran towards the horse not far away.
It wasn't until the three of them pulled the horse to the foot of the stone wall that Azina pulled the horse hard to lie down against the stone wall, still shouting in a voice that Shuzi couldn't understand.
As if sensing the danger in the dark night, the horse obediently lay down under the stone wall next to its owner.
At this moment, Asuna quickly took out two large silk scarves and covered Shuzi from head to head regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
He also covered his face tightly.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you have many clothes? Hurry up and take out two pieces..."
Shuzi didn't ask any more questions, and took out two of the long gowns she bought for Xiao Hei, one covering her head and the other covering Asuna's head.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Where is my brother?"
Asuna shook her head, held her hand tightly and said, "Don't go out, he will come back."
Shuzi was startled, moved the corner of her mouth, and said to Xiaohu in the dark: "Is it dangerous? Find a silk scarf and wrap it around your face..."
Just as Shuzi said, before she could lay out the flyer, Xiaohu had already had a thick scarf wrapped around his head.
With the long sword in hand, a pair of bright eyes stared at a group of people who rushed out of the dark night.
However, this time he didn't take out his bow and arrow to shoot at the opponent. He wanted to talk to the bandits.
The sound of horse hooves like a torrent broke through the dark night, surrounding the little tiger like a whirlwind.
Someone even screamed: "Boss, all our brothers are dead!"
"Kill that guy and avenge the dead brothers!"
"This guy is a demon, kill him!"
In addition to the roar of horses, the earth-shattering shouts of bandits rang out in the dark night.
Slowly, the bandit leader, who was dressed in black and had an extremely gloomy face, rode on a horse and leaned towards Xiaohu, who was holding a sword in one hand. He also held an unsheathed long sword in his hand.
Looking at Xiao Gong, he asked coldly: "Did you kill my men?"
Xiaohu chuckled: "Besides me, there seems to be no one else here... I mean they want to kill me!"
There was a clang sound, and the long sword was unsheathed and pointed at Xiaohu, who was only three feet away from him, and shouted sharply: "Who are you? Where do you have the courage to kill dozens of my brothers?"
Xiaohu shook his head: "Speaking of me, I'm afraid even your grandfather and grandfather don't know about me. Forget it, you are just an ant in the desert, you are not worthy of asking me who I am!"
Having said this, Xiao Hei looked at the rolling black clouds in the night sky with a knowing smile on his face.
At this time, the bandits were angry because of the death of their companions, and did not pay attention to the rolling black clouds behind them, which filled the sky with yellow sand and came towards them.
The night was long, and Xiaohu was already several hundred feet away from the small rocky mountain where Shuzi was.
At such a long distance, if the sky was full of stars, the bandits could still see... At the moment, he was the only one who knew.
He didn't even want to fight these guys anymore.
Looking at the angry bandit leader with a deformed face, Xiaohu laughed: "Speaking of which, you are also from the desert. Why don't you read the almanac when you go out?"
After finishing speaking, he pointed at the rolling yellow sand and said, "I wish you good luck!"
When the bandits heard this, they turned their heads one after another.
Then he came to a scene that frightened them. Just as they were looking for the corpse of the same person, the vast desert suddenly rolled up a sky full of yellow sand.
Anyone who has never seen the yellow sand of the desert will never imagine its horror.
But tonight, the billowing black clouds and the whirlwind are still blowing up the yellow sand all over the sky!
Just as Xiaohu shouted these words, the bandits saw the yellow sand rolling in behind them and were wildly swept up into the sky by a tornado.
At this time, it was no longer clear which was the sky and which was the earth. The sky and the earth were covered with rolling yellow sand.
A group of bandits couldn't care less about fighting Xiao Hu. They jumped off their horses one after another and pulled the horses to find shelter in an attempt to survive the sudden storm.
"Brothers, spread out in all directions, hurry up!"
The bandit master who was fighting Xiaohu a moment ago jumped off his horse and pulled the horse away into the night.
If I can't find a place to stay, I'm afraid I will be buried here forever by the rolling yellow sand.
Traders walking in the desert are most afraid of encountering such a storm. If they can't find a shelter from the wind, they will definitely die.
Practitioners like Xiaohu would either hold their breath and bury themselves in the yellow sand, waiting for the storm to subside before finding a way to get out from under the sand.
However, even Xiaohu didn't dare to do this, because after the storm, he didn't know how high the yellow sand on his head had been piled, and whether he could get out.
Amidst the roar of the bandit master, the little tiger in front of him disappeared in front of him.
It's like it never happened.
As the king of the desert, Xiaohu didn't understand the severity of the storm in front of him. Wrapped in black cloth, he turned into a black whirlwind and headed towards the place where Shuzi and the two were hiding.
Just when Shuzi was about to speak out, Xiaohu pressed her head and leaned against the stone wall.
He shouted loudly: "Hold your breath and don't make a sound!"
Asuna on the side held Shuzi's hand tightly and held Xiaohu's hand with her other hand.
The three of them clung tightly to the stone wall, and even the horse behind them lay there obediently and did not dare to make a sound. The smart horse also knew how terrible the storm was.
Afraid that his master would give up on him.
The rolling yellow sand combined with the tornado in the sky, making a terrifying sound and whining on the heads of the three people. The long yellow sand flew over the three heads, and the sand knocked on the dry poplar trees.
There were bursts of harsh sounds, which were immediately covered up by the whining wind.
In the wind and sand, the shouts of the bandits could no longer be heard. The overwhelming sandstorm had covered everything. Xiaohu was talking to Shuzi now, and he was afraid that he could not hear them either.
This is the principle that man is determined to be invincible.
Before the sandstorm comes, this is still a road in the desert. When the sandstorm passes, there may be sand dunes piled up like hills.
Even a monk like Xiaohu would find it difficult to get out from underneath.
The three people hugging each other were like three horses standing close together, facing the violent sandstorm together.
If nothing else, Shuzi knew that the bandits who were chasing after him would be drowned by the yellow sand.
same moment.
The caravan formed by a group of forbidden troops from Northern Qi Dynasty has been submerged by the long yellow sand.
These guys are even more inexperienced. Where have they seen such a terrifying storm?
The difference is that they are in a pile of rocks, which is a good shelter from the wind, allowing more than thirty people to find a hiding place.
Even the horses were brought in and lay down behind the pile of rocks next to their owners.
Only three carriages had been overturned and were obviously useless.
After the storm, they could only send their men to the castle and buy three carriages back... However, after the storm, how much of the goods they packed inside would be left?
Even the general, who was the shopkeeper, had to lie down behind a pile of rocks, randomly find a robe and wrap his head tightly.
I thought to myself, with such a terrifying storm, I'm afraid those bandits will really never return.
woo woo woo woo!
The sky is full of yellow sand. At dawn tomorrow, the roads here may have to be rerouted again.
…
When a faint light appeared on the horizon.
The three people who escaped being buried in the sandstorm have emerged from the long yellow sand and have been traveling in the desert for two hours.
Shuzi asked Xiaohu to quickly go to a village or small town, do nothing, wash up well, and then sleep like a dead man.
Xiaohu shook his head, looked at the white fish belly on the horizon and sighed: "What a pity for those bandits, that's a lot of silver and gold coins."
Shuzi looked at him and said with a smile: "You can go back alone and dig them out from under the yellow sand?"
Thinking about it, she looked at Xiaohu and asked, "Do you think those caravan guys were drowned by the storm last night?"
Ashina shook her head when she heard this and said: "Impossible, those are just piles of rocks. At most they can be buried, but they won't be fatal."
Xiaohu looked at Shuzi with a disgusted look in his eyes and said with a smile: "If you want to survive in the desert, you have to learn from her. This guy's nose is smarter than mine."
"It was a sheltered place from the wind. The yellow sand would not pile up into a mountain and kill them, but the horses would have to endure hardship. The carriage... haha."
Xiaohu shook his head, and while he was talking, Ashina shouted: "Look at the front, there is someone!"
The three of them traveled all the way and finally came to a small town in the desert. Because of the high walls, the place was not covered in yellow sand. Perhaps the storm last night took a detour and avoided the small town in front of them.
Asuna smiled and said: "There will be an inn in such a place. Let's find a place to bury our stomachs first, and then find a place to wash up."
Even the reserved Asuna couldn't help her stomach growling.
Shuzi sighed, looked at Xiaohu and said, "Let's find a place to eat first. This time I was really scared. I will never come to this ghost place again."
By the time the three of them found a noodle shop that had opened its stall early, the sun in the sky had already revealed half of its head. After the storm, it turned out to be nice weather.
Looking at the three people leading the horses, the waiter shouted from a distance: "Early-rising guests, come and have a bowl of beef noodles."
When Ashina heard this, she couldn't help but look at Shuzi and said, "Sister, just eat this beef noodles."
Hearing Asuna's words, the clerk's mouth raised a smile: "Don't worry, our beef noodles are great two hundred miles away. You will never regret eating it."
Xiaohu took the reins from the two men's hands and walked to the hitching post on the side.
While shouting: "Four bowls of noodles, three kilograms of beef, and a pot of wine."
Xiaohu, who narrowly escaped the storm, wanted to drink a glass of wine to calm down.
No matter how smart he was, he never expected that ever since he met the guy in front of him, he would be in trouble. First, the bandits wanted to kidnap him, and then even the bandit leader personally took action.
Before he could fight the bandits, well, a tornado blew up in the middle of the night, rolling up yellow sand all over the sky, and he almost died in the sandstorm.
After thinking about it, Xiaohu sighed in admiration and felt a little creepy in his heart.
Looking at the indifferent guy in front of him, Xiaohu couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? Why do those bandits want to kidnap you at all costs?"
Asuna was stunned, looked at him and smiled lightly.
He replied: "My name is Ashina. They thought I was the son of a wealthy family in the capital and wanted to kidnap me to make a fortune!"
When Xiaohu heard this, he smiled with a smile on his lips, narrowed his eyes, looked at Shuzi and asked: "Sister, do you believe it?"
Shuzi yawned, shook her head and said, "I don't want to think about anything, I just want to have a good sleep!"
