"Don't run away?" Xia Zuo glanced at Penia gently, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked softly.

He fought with the Wolf King. Although he did not catch the Wolf King and let the Wolf King run away, Xia Zuo was still feeling much more relaxed.

"I won't run away, please give me water, I won't run away again!" Penia's head shook like a rattle, and her hands tightly grabbed Xia Zu's trousers' legs, looking at Xia Zu's eyes begging.

"There is only so much, and you have to go back a long way, so save some drinks!" Xia Zuo took out a small water bag from the robe on the side, and said and threw it in front of Penia.

Peña immediately let go of Xia Zuo, grabbed the water bag, opened the lid, raised his head and drank it. The water bag was not big, and Peña couldn't control it at all without listening to Xia Zuo. She drank the water bag in a few sips. Finally, she raised her head and shook the water bag, poured the last few drops of water in her mouth before she stopped.

While sewing the wound, Xia Zuo paid attention to Penia with Yu Guang. A helpless smile flashed across his face and said, "Actually, you don't have to run away. I won't hurt you. As long as the money is, there is barbecue there, and it will be burnt if you don't eat it."

"Is that for me?" Penia looked at Xia Zuo in disbelief and asked. After drinking the water, her condition suddenly looked much better.

"I'm not hungry!" Xia Zuo lowered his head and sutured the wound, and replied silently.

Penia looked at Xia Zuo hesitantly, but still couldn't believe it. She slowly climbed to the fire with her hands and feet, turned her head and looked at Xia Zuo, then raised her hand and slowly took the barbecue from it, blew it, and started to eat it in small mouthfuls.

Xia Zuo was still suturing the wound, with the last part left. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, obviously it was very painful.

Peña, who was eating barbecue, suddenly felt that the Celsa man in front of her, who was a few years younger than her, was not that bad, because in the rumors she heard, the Celsa man was cruel and insidious and cunning was no longer enough to describe them.

"Thank you... Thank you!" Penia hesitated for a long time, finally plucked up the courage to speak in a low voice, looking at Xia Zuo with a careful look.

"Yeah!" Xia Zuo seemed to have no time to pay attention to Penia, and just lowered his head and made a nasal sound.

Half an hour later, at dusk, the sky was full of red clouds.

"Where are you going?" Penia saw Xia Zuo standing up and walking up the dune, stood up and shouted anxiously at Xia Zuo. Her mind had completely changed, and she was afraid that Xia Zuo would throw her away.

"It's time to go back, keep up!" Xia Zuo held the rolled robe in his hand, walked towards the dune step by step with his upper body naked, and said without looking back.

After eating and resting for a while, Penia had recovered some strength. Although her whole body was sore, she still cheered up and followed Xia Zuo to climb the sand dunes and hiked into the endless desert.

One hour later.

With a "thump", Peña fell on the sand.

"I can't walk anymore, can I rest for a while?" Penia shouted to Xia Zuo in front.

"It's going to be dark soon. If you don't want to be eaten by wild animals, you'd better keep up with me!" Xia Zuoto said without hesitation and continued to walk forward. The desert ahead of him was still endless.

Penia tried to get up, but she really had no strength. After trying several times but failed, she felt desperate and cried on the sand.

"How old are you?"

Penia cried for a long time, and suddenly the voice of Xia Zuo sounded in front of her.

Penia raised her head and rubbed her eyes. What she saw was Xia Zuo's face with a helpless smile in the afterglow of the sunset.

"I haven't cried since I was seven years old. How old are you still crying at any time?" Xia Zuo asked again.

"Ten... fifteen years old, I am... I am a girl!" Penia sobbed and whispered, and even found a reason for herself to cry.

"Oh, this is true, my mother and dad will cry even if they quarrel!" Xia Zuo nodded immediately with understanding again, immediately stretched out his hand to Penia and said, "Give me your hand!"

Peña carefully stretched out his hand and was pulled up by Shazo. Shazo couldn't help but resist, and directly carried Peña horizontally, walked towards the endless desert in the distance without saying a word, still maintaining the previous speed.

Penia cried out in a slight voice, subconsciously hooked Xia Zuo's neck, and then stopped moving. She felt her body stiff and did not dare to look at Xia Zuo's scars, so she couldn't help but close her eyes.

I don’t know how long I have been away, but Penia’s eyelids have become heavier and he gradually fell asleep.

The sky became darker and darker. Xia Zuo looked at the sky and couldn't help but speed up, and gradually ran faster and then evolved to jump continuously on sand dunes that had gathered more than ten meters one by one, with an extremely fast speed.

Penia in Charzo's arms felt no bumps at all, and she was sleeping like a child.

…………

When Penia woke up, she saw the stars in the sky first. Her eyes gradually regained her spirit and noticed that she had a thick robe on her body, which was the one from Xia Zuo. At this time, Xia Zuo was still holding her and walking in a bustling valley, with fire and Celsa people coming and going everywhere.

It's the Celsa tribe!

"Young Master! Young Master! You are back, oh! Where did this little beauty come from? Hey, you have such a vision. This girl looks much better than Ahua." A Celsa man, who was over 20 years old and was 1.9 meters tall but as thin as a bamboo pole, ran to Xia Zuo happily and said with a flattering smile.

This person is named A Shuo, who is the best among the young generation of Celsa. Ah Hua is his wife. She is still very beautiful, but she has a little temper.

"Get out of here, you will flatter. This is the caravan's private goods. In half a month, go to the Blood Wolf territory to get a thousand ransom. Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Zuo said to Ashu angrily.

"Oh hey! One thousand gold, you guys..."

"Gogun, remember not to talk nonsense, don't let your mother know!" Xia Zuo interrupted A Shao's flattery and kicked A Shao's ass, and did not forget to instruct him.

"Boy, why don't I know?" A cold and faint voice suddenly came from behind Xia Zuo.

Xia Zuo was creepy and threw Penia out. He turned around and squeezed out a smile on his face. He shouted with a flattering voice: "Mom! Nothing Mom! Have you eaten? Let's go for dinner, where is Dad? Where is Dad?" Xia Zuo was a little incoherent and seemed very nervous.

"Ouch!" Penia, who was pretending to be asleep, was thrown on the sand a few meters away by Xia Zuo. She covered her butt with one hand and couldn't help but scream, but found that a circle of Celsa people were looking at her with strange eyes. She immediately silenced, rubbed her butt, and crawled up silently.

Audrey stood behind Xia Zuo in a luxurious robe, with her hair tied in the back of her head and a variety of gold jewelry.

Audrey is extremely tall, 1.8 meters tall, Xia Zuo can only look up to him. Although he is nearly forty years old, Audrey looks like a 27 or 28-year-old lady, noble and beautiful!

Audrey glanced at Penia beside her, then looked at her embarrassedly and turned to look at her son, with a doting smile flashing on her face.

"Are you fighting again?" Audrey asked softly when she noticed the wound on Xia Zuo.

"Well, Blood Wolf King, let it run away again!" Xia Zuo, who was wandering wildly in the desert outside, was like a good baby in front of Audrey, and he lowered his head and whispered.

"Who is she?" Audrey turned her head and looked at Penia again, asking with a strange smile.

"Private goods, there is a caravan that does not follow the rules, and they will redeem them in half a month!" Xia Zuo replied, quietly looking at Audrey, and secretly shouting "Oh no" in his heart, because Audrey walked towards Penia.

"What's your name?" Audrey walked to Penia and asked coldly.

"Penia...Penia!" Audrey's upper-class aura was too strong, which made Penia feel a suffocating feeling. She lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Oh, Penia? Good name, look up!" Audrey said again.

Penia dared not refuse to obey, and slowly raised her head. She was only 1.6 meters tall and gradually looked up at Audrey. She was a little surprised because she had never seen a beautiful woman like Audrey. The number one beauty in the desert is not a legend, it is true!

Audrey raised her hand and pinched Penia's chin, turned her wrist, and looked at Penia's dirty little face.

Penia's facial features are very delicate. Although her face is dirty, it still makes people see that she is a very beautiful girl. Moreover, her skin is much better than that of the Celsa girl since childhood.

"Yeah! Not bad!" Audrey nodded with satisfaction.

What's good? Peña didn't know, but she knew it right away.

"Today's midnight!" Audrey turned suddenly, glanced at the tribe members who had gathered around her. She shouted in a clear voice, paused, and said in a serious and formal tone: "Today's midnight, my son Shazo will marry Miss Peña, and will perform the oldest and most solemn ceremony, blood sacrifice to the gods, you will prepare immediately."

The tall and powerful Celsa people around them responded, left to prepare for everything needed for the ceremony, and told the other Celsa people in the valley, and some cheers from the Celsa people came from afar.

Penia was shocked!

Xia Zuo was also shocked!

"Mom, don't want it, mom, we just met. She is just a private person. I don't like her. Mom, don't do this! Please, mom..." Xia Zuo rolled to Audrey's feet, knelt on the ground and grabbed Audrey's trouser legs, begging.

"Oh? You don't like her? Why come back with her in your arms?" Audrey looked down at Xia Zuo and asked in a weird tone.

"Mom, she just can't walk anymore. She's worth a thousand gold. I have no other intentions. Mom, I beg you!" Xia Zuo continued to beg. He wanted to slap himself twice and make him humble, and insisted on bringing a girl back.

"You little brat, don't beg me. This matter is decided. You don't even look down on the girls in the clan. This time you brought the person back. You must marry her, right away!" Audrey's words were a bit unreasonable, but this is the Selsa tribe, she is the patriarch. She said that the sun is square, and no one dared to say it is round.

Audrey was determined to let Xia Zuo marry today, but there was a reason. In fact, this kind of thing had happened many times.

Xia Zuo’s dream is to walk out of the desert, look at the outside world, and travel around the world like Audrey when she was young. But Audrey doesn’t want Xia Zuo to leave. She hopes Xia Zuo stays in the desert for the rest of her life and stays by her side. The best way to leave her son is to get married and have children.

Therefore, since Xia Zuo was ten years old, the "crazy" Audrey started to discuss Luo Xia Zuo's marriage. She saw all the girls in the Selsa tribe. Either she looked down on her or Xia Zuo refused for various reasons. Today, she finally seized the opportunity and she would not let it go.

"Take Miss Penia to take a shower and change clothes, my good son, you should go and prepare!" Audrey explained, leaving with an elegant posture.

Penia struggled to be dragged away by two female Celsa people.

Xia Zuo collapsed on the ground, wanting to cry without tears.

One hour later.

night.

In a wide wooden house with piles of messy things, Penia, who was washed and dressed up, sat on the wooden bed, shedding tears silently.

The customs of the Selsa people are first bridal chamber and then rituals.

Xia Zuo, who had also washed up, walked into the wooden house in brand new clothes and waved his hands at the two women guarding Penia. After the two left and closed the door, Xia Zuo moved a chair and sat opposite Penia, looking at her with a faint look.

The room was silent for a moment. The extremely beautiful dressed Penia kept her head hanging down and did not dare to look up at Xia Zuo.

"Take off your clothes!" Xia Zuo said.
