On the edge of the land, the strong wind blows the wild grass into yellow, and there is no water source within a hundred miles during the dry season.
At this time, a convoy slowly passed through the wasteland. The main means of transportation were exquisite animal carts. A handsome white horse.
Every animal cart is planted with a flag, a green pattern on a red background, fluttering in the wind, it is a flower pattern entwined with thorns. The number of guards in the whole team is about thirty, and the armor is engraved with thorn flower patterns. The weapons are mainly the continuous-firing air crossbows and telescopic blades produced by God's Domain, which are very common common equipment in God's Domain.
An old man with snow-white hair is the leader of the team. His face is full of traces of time carvings. His snow-white hair hangs down his shoulders. Although he is very old, he looks hale and hearty. The silk robe is well-cut, and the black jade bracelet is held in the right hand. Each jade bead has been rubbed and polished all the year round.
Unified family patterns, unified custom beast vehicles, and unified weapons and equipment.
The beast carts are full of ores, leather, and herbs, all of which reveal their identities.
The Thorn Flower Caravan, an ordinary small caravan in Tianyun Shenyu, Lao Jing is the founder of the caravan.
The people of Tianyun City are naturally proud. In the minds of the people of God's Domain, the wilderness has long been demonized into a barren land filled with murderers and monsters. In addition to the various prohibitions of Tianyun City, no one wants to communicate with the wilderness. .
Lao Jing was born as a commoner in his early years. He is a very business-minded person, because there are many precious materials such as ores and leather in the wilderness that are unowned. If these things can be collected and transported back to God’s Domain for processing Profitable, although the people of God's Domain are not allowed to easily set foot in the wilderness, the control in the edge of the land is not so strict.
Lao Jing established the Thorn Flower Merchant Association to become fringe merchants. Fringe merchants operate in the buffer zone between God's Domain and the wilderness. They have perfected relevant procedures and do not violate the Sky Cloud Code. However, they will inevitably deal with wilderness people, so the status of such people is not high. Lao Jing is already seventy years old, he figured it was time to find an opportunity to retire and become a serious businessman as soon as possible.
"Huh?" Old Jing stopped turning the black jade bead in his hand, and when he didn't find any familiar young figures around him, he asked the captain of the guard, "Where did Xiaofeng go?"
The captain of the guard replied: "It seems that he said he was going to explore the road."
"This kid is playful again!" Lao Jing showed a loving expression on his face. He had no children in his life. Xiaofeng was one of the orphans he adopted. Although he was an adopted son, he was very talented. A fringe businessman who is despised by the city people, his future success depends entirely on this son, "The fringe land is no better than God's Domain, and recently it's even more uneven. It may be dangerous to run around alone. You take a few people to find it." Find it."
The captain of the guard showed a wry smile and said: "It's not that you don't know, President, that Master Feng was selected as a demon hunter. Although he has not yet become a demon hunter, he is far ahead of us in terms of skill. Could it be that Do you still need our protection?"
This made the wrinkles on Lao Jing's face stretch out, and every groove in it was filled with pride.
Demon hunter, what a glorious identity, what a proud name, a businessman like Lao Jing who wanders in the gray area, has always been only qualified to admire and worship such a high-level existence. Now that his adopted son has been tested for his talent as a demon hunter, he is very likely to become a demon hunter in the future, and Lao Jing can be regarded as dead.
"Although Xiaofeng's talent is very good, but after all, he lacks experience, so let's go and have a look."
Suddenly there was a voice from the front.
"Father, come quickly!"
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy hurried over. He looked capable and smart, with regular facial features and agility. His gray hair was relatively long and was tied up in a ponytail behind his head. He probably wandered around all year round. Her skin looks a bit sunburned, but it feels lively and healthy.
The boy pointed to a rock not far away, and saw two people behind the rock.
A man and a woman.
The woman looked about thirteen years old, wearing tattered clothes, unkempt, and very embarrassed, but her eyes were very clear, and she was looking timidly and panicked at these people who appeared suddenly.
Wearing a mask, the man couldn't tell his age clearly, but his figure seemed to be relatively thin, so he gave the impression that he was not very old, but he was lying on the stone at this moment, and he seemed to be in a coma.
The little girl grabbed the dagger and gestured in a panic: "Don't come here!"
The boy looked at the girl a few times. Although she looked embarrassed, her features were delicate and she should be quite beautiful. He couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. This soldier brother seems to be injured."
This comatose man was wearing Tianyun City soldier armor, which is military standard equipment, and its materials and manufacturing techniques are beyond the grasp of ordinary people, so only regular Tianyun City soldiers are eligible to wear it. Anyone who attempts to imitate or steal will seriously violate the Tianyun Code, and in the worst case will be exiled.
So when they saw this thin man wearing a mask, the boy Xiaofeng, Lao Jing and the captain of the guard all thought that this man was a soldier of Tianyun God Realm, but why did the soldier appear here? The armor made of white jade, which is like a work of art, has long been covered with dirt and dust, which shows that he has walked for at least ten or twenty days on foot, and he definitely came from the direction of the wilderness.
The little girl looked and dressed like someone from Tianyun God Realm.
Lao Jing and the captain of the guard carefully observed the person dressed as a Tianyun soldier. Although the person had already arrived, he was still holding a God's Domain standard soldier's weapon. There were several wear and tear marks on the surface. Could it be that he was injured while performing a mission? Soldiers who escaped from the wilderness.
Lao Jing gave the guard captain a look: "Let the doctor take a look."
The boy Xiaofeng walked directly towards the little girl, and the little girl waved the dagger in panic. When the dagger struck, the boy Xiaofeng gently squeezed and pulled the dagger with his two fingers, and he snatched the dagger. He danced a fancy sword flower in his hand, and then said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
The little girl was pulled aside.
She looked at the man from Shenyu who was trembling all over, his face was pale and looked pitiful.
At this time, the doctor of the Thorn Flower Caravan appeared, a slender woman, and she opened the mask of the fallen man. No one thought that the face under the mask was younger than Xiaofeng, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
How can this guy be so young
Is he a soldier of Sky Cloud City
The doctor checked Yunying's body and turned to the others and said, "There is nothing serious, it's just that he was thirsty for a long time and fell into a coma from dehydration. But this guy's identity is very suspicious, I think we should leave this business alone."
"Since we have met, we have to find out, maybe we can have a good relationship." Lao Jing turned the black jade bracelet in his hand, and he raised his hand and told the left and right: "Pick him into the car first."
The little girl in the wilderness looked at the people from God's Domain carrying them away with a look of fear on her face. Although she was very scared, she still followed. In fact, it is not difficult to find that the people in the thorn flower caravan include the kind old Jing.
This is a very normal phenomenon. The wilderness and God's Domain are different worlds. In the eyes of God's Domain people, people in the wilderness are purely synonymous with dirty and evil. Even fringe businessmen don't like everything in the wilderness.
One exception.
The young Xiaofeng didn't seem to have any worries, he walked over and befriended the little girl: "What's your name?"
The little girl was very guarded, her eyes fixed on the person in front of her, she was too scared to speak.
"Don't be nervous." Xiaofeng saw that the corners of the little girl's mouth were dry and blistered, which was obviously a symptom of dehydration. He took off the water bag around his waist and gave it to her, "Are you thirsty? Drink some water first."
The little girl was very afraid of the people of Shenyu, but she was a child after all, and she was so thirsty, so she didn't resist the temptation to take the water bag, and she immediately opened it and started drinking.
Xiaofeng smiled: "Can you tell me now?"
The little girl didn't dare to drink too much, she hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Asha."
The boy Xiaofeng nodded: "Not bad name, who gave you the name?"
This sentence brought back Asha's sad past. She seemed to have seen the adoptive father who was usually careless, but actually kind and pious in his heart, and the scene where he was beaten, tortured, burned and hanged by mobs in the wilderness.
Xiaofeng seemed to see the little girl's sadness, so he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Is that unconscious soldier your friend? What's his name?"
Asha was young and ignorant but not stupid, she knew that these people would save people, she just mistook him for a soldier, of course she would not deny her identity, she just said: "He said his name is Yunying, he is a good man!"
The words were heard by others in the caravan.
Yunying? This name is a bit strange, but it seems to be the name used by wilderness people.
"Xiaofeng! Come here!"
Lao Jing seems to be dissatisfied with his adopted son being too close to the wilderness girl. After all, Xiaofeng is going to become a demon hunter in the future, so how can a noble demon hunter get in touch with a lowly wilderness man
Xiaofeng shrugged helplessly and had no choice but to pass.
Lao Jing, Xiao Feng, the female doctor, and the captain of the guard began to discuss.
The female doctor did not approve of keeping people here. She spoke first and said, "We have given him water and he should be in good health. It's just that we can't confirm his identity yet. If his identity is false, I'm afraid he will Get us in trouble."
Lao Jing nodded: "What do you think?"
The captain of the guard expressed his opinion: "I think one more thing is worse than one less thing. What's more, each of us has a fixed amount of food and water. If we bring one more person, we may need to consume a little more. If the trip is delayed due to an accident, it may cause serious damage to us. Influence."
"Having said that, everyone has been saved, so we can't leave them alone." The boy Xiaofeng said, "We are only two days away from Shazhou Camp, so I think we can take him with us for the time being, and wait for him to wake up to check." Identity, if he is really a soldier, we can make a great contribution by rescuing him, if he is a deserter and traitor, we can also make a great contribution by escorting him back. Even if we save the wrong person, the worst thing is to leave him in front of the Shazhou camp."
Everyone looked at each other.
Makes sense, let's do it!
The caravan resumed its march, but this time only every few minutes.
There was a roar of rolling thunder from all directions. This was the sound of hundreds of iron hooves stepping on the ground at the same time, making a rapid and dense sound like a violent storm. The people in the Thorn Flower Caravan were all shocked, they only understood what it meant.
"No, it's the reckless gang!"
Someone shouted in horror.
