"Give this little kid some sugar water, make sure it's warm!"

"Xiao Ling, hold his head, don't let him choke."

As a slightly sweet warmth touched his lips, Chen Bai's eyelids trembled slightly. He deliberately pretended to be hoarse and weak and murmured softly:

"where am I?"

"Stop talking, young man, hold the sugar water in your mouth and swallow it slowly."

Shen Bai obeyed the instructions, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of sugar water, he opened his eyes and looked around.

He was lying in the large carriage, surrounded by people. Shen Bai's eyes quickly passed over their faces, and finally stopped on the two people with the most unique temperaments.

One of them is a pretty girl of fifteen or six years old. Her skin is a healthy wheat color. She is wearing a large coat with a hood, covering her youthful and energetic body tightly.

The other man is a middle-aged man with a wide mouth and broad nose. Different from the robes worn by girls to avoid the wind and sand, he wears a short black jacket with few pieces of fabric. His majestic arms have veins exposed, and he looks like a thieves in the forest. , the hair on the top of the head is a little sparse, but it looks a bit more friendly.

They are human beings and they speak the same language, Shen Bai thought to himself.

But...the way they dress doesn't seem like modern people?

Thoughts were racing in his mind, but he didn't hesitate at all and said with a wry smile:

"Thank you so much for your life-saving grace. I am in trouble now."

"There is no need to be too polite. We, the homeless people, should have the courage to make friends with the world's heroes." The middle-aged man cupped his fists and said:

"Others call me Chen Laowu. Mr. Shen, you are still weak and need to rest. We won't disturb you anymore... If you have something to do, just call this girl. Her name is Xiaoling."

Chen Laowu waved his hand, and everyone in the carriage retreated. A young girl named Xiaoling wanted to ask another question, but Chen Laowu grabbed her arm and quietly dragged her away.

Chen Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

It seems that I am being guarded.

…

"Fifth uncle, why did you just say a word and leave?" The girl frowned and asked in confusion:

"This man has thin skin and tender flesh. He looks like a young master from a luxurious family. He is probably not someone who lives in the yellow sand. How can we not ask clearly? What if there is big trouble behind him..."

"Xiao Ling, let me ask you, even if there is big trouble behind this young man, what will you do?"

"Don't ask me, Uncle Wu, if you want to ask, ask about my knife!" Xiaoling pulled out a soft knife from the belt at her waist. Under the hot sun, the soft knife quickly hardened and unfolded, becoming a blood-engraved knife. She played with the sharp blade of Tao's weapon a few times handsomely and said:

"We swordsmen live by the sword and die with the sword... Wow!"

Chen Laowu knocked Xiaoling on the head and said funnyly:

"Read less legendary novels, practice more swordsmanship, and be able to lead a escort team by yourself before the age of twenty. Then I will be able to stand up to your father."

He paused and then said:

"The world is too big. In the village where I was born, most people will not be able to get out of the rolling yellow sand throughout their lives. There are countless strange people and strange things in the world. For those of us who travel in the world, martial arts is the second most important thing. The most important thing is to have a sharp eye! "

"The most important thing in life is to be careful."

"This young man surnamed Shen has handsome and noble features, which I have never seen before. Look at his skin, which is smooth and white, as if he has never practiced kung fu. But this is a man-eating desert! What if he really doesn't have any martial arts? Is it possible to reach such a central position?”

"He must have used some special method to hide his weakness and suppress his breath. Maybe his power is greater than all the swordsmen we have escorted this time combined!"

Xiaoling curled her lips:

"Fifth Uncle, according to you, he has so many flaws but still can't find a way to hide his appearance. Wouldn't he be a fool?"

"Perhaps, people think it is unnecessary... Xiaoling, there are some things that even if you see through them, you must not tell them. They understand each other tacitly and give him a ride in a daze, just for your good and my good. But if you tell this young man in one word, Human identity, tsk tsk..."

"Trouble, Fifth Uncle, is this what the world is like?"

"This is true not only in Jianghu, but also in the world."

"Tsk, that's so boring." Xiaoling rolled her eyes, jumped on the horse with a long knife in hand, and galloped away into the distance.

"Fifth Uncle, I'm going to practice swordsmanship, hum! The world is not like that!"

…

Time flew by and Shen Bai had spent seven days in the carriage.

The cavalry had a large number of people, more than a thousand. Chen Laowu was one of the leaders with a strong say. He arranged for Shen Bai to rest within his jurisdiction, but no one dared to comment.

Shen Bai has been doing well these past few days. Although Chen Laowu and the others are closer to the ancients in movies and TV shows in terms of their clothing and conversation, the food provided is surprisingly good, neither astringent nor bland, and the taste is moderate. This shows that the horse team is equipped with a large amount of refined salt condiments.

Therefore, Shen Bai's daily life now is to sit in a carriage, open a corner of the curtain of the carriage window, eat the "salt-baked chicken" provided by the cavalry team's kitchen, and look at the yellow sand in the sky outside.

In the past that was unknown to the Federation in 1206, such a trip was also a kind of romance.

A crisp sound sounded, and the girl came in from outside, playing with the small bell tied to her wrist, and sat next to Shen Bai familiarly, tearing off the chicken legs and gnawing happily.

"Brother Shen, you are really knowledgeable about food. Don't look at this chicken, it tastes very good."

"Well, before my family fell into decline, I was considered wealthy."

Shen Bai opened his eyes to tell lies and lowered the car curtains.

Xiao Ling was a little shy. In her opinion, it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to be alone in a closed environment. But after thinking about it, she felt that people in the world don't need to stick to small details, so she started chewing openly again. Baked chicken legs with salt.

——Should I say it or not, Shen Niulang is really good at dealing with women, and he can control the little girl very well.

In the past few days, he had become quite familiar with Xiaoling and got a lot of information.

According to the little girl who dreams of becoming a great swordsman, this place is a man-eating desert. Countless refugees and rangers have come here from ancient times to the present, but only a few can get out alive.

As for how big it is here? Xiaoling doesn’t know.

How many villages and towns are there in the desert? Xiaoling doesn't know.

She only knew that Blood Flag Town was the only large town with a population of more than one million in the Yellow Sands. It had the largest escort agency, the most delicious candy bars, and the girls' waists were the whitest and thinnest.

Walking all the way from the official road just south of Blood Flag Town, if there is enough food and the horses are not sick, you can leave the desert and go to the outside world in five months of riding.

Becoming a great swordsman, becoming famous in Blood Flag Town, and taking a look at the outside world are the girls’ biggest wishes.

As for the year?

When asked this question, Xiaoling was also a little surprised:

"What other year could it be? You look up at the sky. There is only one sun in the sky, right? Then it is year A now... and in a few days, it will be year B."

Shen Bai smiled at that time and said nothing.
