It was already dark, and the sandstorm outside was getting louder and louder.
There was almost no one on the street.
All households have their windows and doors closed to prevent yellow sand from entering the house.
This season is a good time for buying and selling merchants. Zhuxin City is crowded with many merchants, and major restaurants are also full early, so some merchants who did not catch up can only barely take shelter by the roadside. Li will be for one night.
Tiger Lord's camel caravan stayed in the restaurant and placed all the goods properly.
That Tiger Lord is a rough person by nature. He has walked in the desert for many years, so he is naturally careful and vigilant. In the middle of the night, a black figure slipped in from the kitchen at the back of the restaurant. Taking advantage of the little Er who was on duty at night lying on the counter on the first floor, he quickly slipped to the second floor and stopped outside the door of a closed guest room. Peeking through the crack of the door
, After confirming that the people inside had fallen asleep, the man in black took out a bamboo stick from his pocket and stretched it through the crack of the door.
After a few tosses, the wooden block holding the door handle was turned to one side.
The door is open!
The movement was very light and did not disturb the people inside!
The man in black went in quietly, closed the door gently with his backhand, followed the light coming in from the window, and groped to the side of the bed.
Tiger Lord snored and slept soundly.
The man in black's gaze was directly locked on the dagger on his waist.
Heart is happy!
It turned out that this little thief was the young man who was drinking in the restaurant today.
However, the dagger was in front of him, but he was caught by Tiger Lord.
The young man took a deep breath, reached out and slowly approached, lightly squeezed the lower end of the dagger, and pulled it out little by little.
Seeing to be pulled out-
Unexpectedly, Lord Tiger suddenly opened his eyes.
"Who?"
The young man was startled and his face was bewildered, but in the face of the current situation, his first reaction was to quickly pull the dagger hard.
Take it away from Tiger Lord.
Hu Ye stood up from the bed and immediately clenched his fist and swung it towards his chest.
Fortunately, he dodged in time.
Avoid!
Lord Tiger became furious and scolded: "Little Wang Bazi, I must kill you and drink alcohol."
After he finished speaking, he lifted his heavy foot and kicked it.
The boy subconsciously raised his arm to block it, and that kick just hit his arm.
Because the force was too great, he was kicked back and forth again and again, and his waist slammed into the window pavilion.
It hurts badly!
I always feel like my bones are falling apart!
Especially the whole arm, as if it was about to be broken.
Because the sound was so loud, it alarmed the people outside!
All of Tiger Master's people rushed in.
"What's up?"
"What happened?"
The young man was anxious, and immediately pushed open the window behind him.
The yellow sand outside came in with the strong wind.
The blowing made everyone unable to keep their eyes open, so they quickly raised their arms to block the wind and sand.
The young man smiled, raised the dagger he got in his hand, and said, "My lord doesn't play with you anymore."
After saying that, he jumped out of the window.
From the second floor to the bottom is not too high, but not too short.
When an ordinary person jumps down, he must break his leg, not his arm.
But the young man acted as if nothing had happened, he just rolled twice when he jumped to the ground.
Think about doing this often!
Those people looked down from the window and saw the black shadow running into the distance, gradually disappearing under the darkness.
Tiger Lord was burning with anger and touched his empty waist.
The dagger is gone.
He immediately punched the window.
"What are you still doing with a pestle? Why don't you go after him! I want to eat his flesh, drink his blood, and squeeze his bones!"
Full of bloody smell!
A group of people rushed down to chase.
After the teenager escaped, he hid in a large shed. Seeing that those people hadn't chased after him, he tore off the mask on his face and took the dagger out of his arms.
The paint on the dagger has been worn off a lot, and it is not a rare object at first glance, it is very ordinary.
But the patterns carved on it are very delicate.
It's three tiger heads!
lifelike.
It is not comparable to ordinary daggers.
And the feeling of holding it in the hand is neither light nor heavy, and it is very easy to get started.
The boy pulled it out of the scabbard, and the blade of the blade appeared silvery in the moonlight, very sharp!
He couldn't help but let out a sigh: "What a good dagger!"
Just when you are enjoying yourself—
"Come on, that kid is running this way. We must find him, or Lord Tiger will have to pull our skins off."
"Hurry up!"
Didn't expect it to come so soon!
The speed is fast enough!
He quickly put away the dagger and hid it in his clothes, and fled down the road behind him...
At this time, it was late at night.
Crazy sand swept through Zhu Xincheng wantonly, and the grains of yellow sand rubbed against the face, causing pain.
Worse than the sandstorm in the desert!
No one dared to wander the streets at night.
And the people who walk in the desert all the year round are very experienced, so those caravans that pass through Zhuxin City are the cities that enter before dark.
The lonely city gate, with lanterns hanging high, was shattered by the wind.
Not a single ghost!
But at this time, a woman wearing a gray cloak and carrying an iron oil lamp came from the desert and entered Zhuxin City.
The woman was slender, with a large piece of cloth covering her face and head, only revealing a thin long eyebrow and a pair of cold and calm eyes, she was also holding a long object in a cloth bag in her hand. what
I wanted to come here too, and I was not someone who walked in the desert all year round. I should be a raw melon egg, and I had bad luck, so I rushed into the city at night.
The surrounding yellow sand whizzed past, and she walked against the yellow sand, planning to find a place to stay in the city for the time being.
It's just that this Zhu Xincheng is too deserted.
It's like an empty city.
Although she knew the situation here before coming, she didn't want to be much deserted than she imagined.
She knocked on several inns and restaurants, either not opening or full.
Even the sheltered shed was crowded with camels and people!
Right now, the yellow sand in the city is getting worse and worse, and if you don't find a place to stay, you may be swallowed by the mad sand.
She continued to walk forward with the oil lamp in her hand, trying to try her luck again.
As soon as he reached a fork in the road, a figure bumped into him.
"what!"
Unexpectedly, she was hit by this, and her body was knocked to the ground.
Sand all over the floor!
The palm is rubbed out with blood!
The ankle seems to be sprained, it hurts a lot!
The oil lamp in her hand fell to the ground and was extinguished, and the cloth bag she held dear also fell to the side, and was stepped on by the person who knocked her down.
She didn't care about the injuries on her feet and body, she quickly pushed the man away, picked up the cloth bag from the ground, and patted it hard to get sand on it. very nervous.
