Chapter 11

The freshly made candy figurine was still steaming, but the cat-like boy holding the bamboo stick was already so hungry that he was puffing, hoping that the candy figurine would cool down soon.

The young man standing in front of the candy stand looks exquisite, beautiful and well-behaved, with Jiangnan water vapor in his eyes, and always has the unique upturned end sound of the southerners when he speaks, which is so soft that it almost makes half of the body crisp, so people passing by always But he couldn't help but stop for a moment, casting his eyes on this side frequently.

This is a town in the north, with wind and dust flying in the air, people's skin color is like the color of wheat, the skin is rough, and Liu Xiaoxiao, who is fair and delicate, is out of place here.He wanted to stay away from Liu Suifeng and watch the scenery all the way, but he crossed the Yellow River to the north without realizing it.

Along the way, Liu Xiaoxiao often heard people say that there are beauties in the Western Regions, with strange fragrances on their bodies and stars in their eyes, and every step towards you is as moving as dancing.I also heard that the desert is clear, the oasis is clear and the bottom is clear, and the melodious camel bell is the song of returning home.However, seeing is better than hearing a hundred times, Liu Xiaoxiao slapped her thigh and said she was going to have a look.As long as this little ancestor said what he wanted, he really wanted it.

But the hired carriage and coachman could not send him into the Western Regions. In recent years, the situation in the frontier fortress has been tense and wars are raging everywhere. Although they have just entered a period of confrontation recently, they may be at war again someday.Besides, the carriage is not conducive to traveling in the desert, and it is very easy to fall into quicksand. The driver has never been in the desert, so naturally he dare not take this risk.

Liu Xiaoxiao is not such an unreasonable person, so it would be better if the driver sent him to Guanchengfu.Guancheng is a large town closest to the Western Regions in the Central Plains, but it is said to be large, but it is only a little better than its surroundings. If it is compared with Jiangnan, it is probably far behind in every aspect.

The war has baptized these towns to dilapidated condition.

Before leaving, the coachman reminded him that the frontier fortress is no better than Jiangnan, where bandits are rampant, and asked him to hide all his valuables, such as the jade around his waist.

Liu Xiaoxiao hung Gouyu around her neck as she said, and hid it under her clothes.He even forgot the origin of this Gouyu, he just followed him all the time, so he kept wearing it as a matter of course.

Liu Xiaoxiao entered Guancheng with a caravan, because he was going to the Western Regions, the desert was as sandy as snow, and if he lost his way, he would be dead. The sandstorm would cover the body, and his entire existence would disappear.So in order to successfully reach Wuyi City, the center of the Western Regions, Liu Xiaoxiao needs a reliable guide and a camel.

It just so happened that a caravan traveling between the Western Regions and the Central Plains passed through Guanshan that day. Liu Xiaoxiao was lucky enough to see it and joined the team logically.

Well, the camels and guides are free.

This caravan did not pass through Guancheng, because of the tense battle in Guancheng recently, they were afraid of being involved in the flames of war.However, in special wartime, the caravan had a small target, so the government asked them to "drop in" to deliver food to the troops guarding the border, so they had to take the road of Guancheng.

The businessmen are not dissatisfied with this. How can they come home without a country?Sending food to the army is a duty-bound thing.Liu Xiaoxiao originally felt that the government really didn't care about human rights, but after hearing what the bearded uncle said, a feeling of "I'm in the frontier now!" came belatedly.

——This is not his peaceful age.

However, Liu Xiaoxiao still didn't have a clear concept of war. It's better to say that people who haven't seen it with their own eyes will never know.He doesn't think it's too serious to be guarded at the border. In his eyes, it's just a word.

So he continued to follow the caravan without fear of death at all. If this little thing knew that these merchants came with the determination to die, he would definitely pack up and leave this short trip immediately.

After leaving Guancheng, after walking for three days and three nights, they approached Feisha Pass.The government said that there were troops camping twenty miles outside the pass, waiting for food and grass.Caravans cannot enter the customs, otherwise they will be targeted by the Turks.

However, when they arrived at the agreed place, they were greeted by blood-red sand. The original appearance of the land could no longer be seen, only the coagulated blood and fallen corpses in armor could be seen all over the ground.Winter is coming soon, the weather is cold, the corpse is not decomposed, there is no corpse smell, only the strong smell of blood rushes into the nasal cavity, and then reaches the stomach along the nasal cavity.

Dead people are the most intuitive perception of war. It was the first time Liu Xiaoxiao saw such a scene, with scattered limbs and bones, and the pungent rust smell made her stomach twist.He couldn't help retching, and the bitter smell of bile spread in his throat.

The nausea forced him to climb off the camel and crouch on the ground, trying to vomit something.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaoxiao is not the only one who has this kind of reaction. There are many people who feel uncomfortable. After all, they are just ordinary businessmen.After finally resting, Liu Xiaoxiao thought they would return the same way, but the caravan said they would leave for Feisha Pass to deliver the food and grass.Liu Xiaoxiao was afraid of death, so she refused to go no matter what, the little thing who vomited a pile of bile was pale, and there was still cold sweat on his forehead, leaning weakly against the warm camel, trying to seek some comfort.

At any rate, he understood that war was not that simple.

The bearded man who was leading the caravan was a very good person, knowing that this young man from the south of the Yangtze River really couldn't bear it, so he gave him the camel.

"The camel knows the way, it will take you back to Guancheng." The caravan's camel bells gradually faded away.

Liu Xiaoxiao thanked the bearded man, and she officially gave up her desire to go to the Western Regions.At least until the border war subsides, he doesn't want to go.

Dare to take another glance at the hellish scene from the corner of the eye, Liu Xiaoxiao misses Liu Suifeng from Jiangnan very much at this moment.It's heartless, now it's better to think about others, but they don't know that Liu Suifeng almost went crazy when he left.

Leaning on the camel to rest, face forward, not looking at the tragic scene in the distance.But only for a moment, Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to see something move in his peripheral vision.

This discovery made the timid Liu Xiaoxiao shudder.

——Is it an illusion...?

However, the severed hand moved again out of the corner of the eye, this time it was not an illusion, because he had been paying attention to it all the time, so the man who was less courageous than a cat cried out in fright.While crying, he rolled and scrambled to get up from the sand, but his legs were so frightened that he couldn't get on the camel.

People just have this kind of mentality, the more frightening things are, the more they have to look at them.Liu Xiaoxiao was frightened to death, but she still turned her head while crawling on the camel.

So he watched helplessly as another blood-stained hand slowly stretched out from under the body of the severed hand, clutching the ground, followed by the other hand, as if someone was about to crawl out of the ground.

——Zombie, zombie!

Liu Xiaoxiao, who was like watching a horror movie, felt her legs go limp, her tears were raining, she tearfully recited Liu Suifeng's name, wishing that Liu Suifeng would come down from the sky to save him.

Hey, isn't this scary and silly!

Before the head of the "zombie" came out, Liu Xiaoxiao finally gave up the idea of ​​climbing on the camel's back. A donkey rolled in front of the camel, letting the camel block itself tightly.The camel was docile, lowered its head and let the trembling little guy hold its head and not let go.

So when the "zombie" managed to crawl out from under the corpse, the first thing he saw was a butt facing his camel in the distance.

Suspected Zombie: ...

"Grass... people..." Liu Xiaoxiao heard a weak voice coming from the front.

Talking zombies?

Liu Xiaoxiao's tears fell even more, she slowly poked her head out, looked over, and happened to meet the gaze of the bloody "corpse" looking over.

"Wow!!!" Well, crying even more out of breath.

The person who was regarded as a zombie looked through the blood mist in his eyes, the boundless yellow sand was the background, the sun in the west was setting slowly, the clouds were like fire, and the light cast was magnificent and dazzling, but none of them were as touching as the tearful boy .

The sky and the earth are vast, and incompatible with this desolate background is a delicate-looking young man with black hair like a waterfall and skin like snow, crying like a lost fairy.

He only opened one eye, looked at it for a while, and felt soft in his heart.

"Why are you crying..." His voice was a little softer, he had a headache from being quarreled by this little thing, he was about to die, but was dragged back from the gate of hell by this little thing crying.

Liu Xiaoxiao only felt that the person crawling out of the pile of bones in front was terrifying, sobbing, she asked, "Are you a human or a ghost..."

"If you don't come here again, I'll be a ghost..." The man watched him cry, amused and annoyed.

How could there be such a person who ran to the border with the appearance of being scared to death.

After hearing this, Liu Xiaoxiao saw his shadow on the ground, so she moved over carefully, not letting her die.

He took small steps, taking care not to step on the corpses or see them, and finally ran to the man.

As soon as he passed by, the bloody hand grabbed Liu Xiaoxiao's ankle, for fear that he would be scared away again.He had just climbed halfway, and almost passed out again, and this little thing woke him up crying.

—Because it was too noisy.

The hands on the ankles were like shackles, which made Liu Xiaoxiao feel a little painful.

"You hurt me..." Liu Xiaoxiao struggled to move her feet even though she was still injured and this man was still so strong.

The man lightened his hand according to his words, and the skin under his palm was warm, the temperature of "birth", which made him very attached to it.He is not very old, but he has been on the battlefield for many years.

As soon as that hand gripped the trouser leg, the blood dripping out stained the white cloth.Liu Xiaoxiao loves his clothes, which are so precious that he can eat countless candied haws.

It seemed that the person who had just been fished out of the blood pool did not feel so scary after looking at it for a long time. Liu Xiaoxiao squatted down and checked the wounds on the person who was bleeding on the ground. There were many wounds, except for the gash on the left side of the abdomen. It's not deep, probably because I lost too much blood and couldn't stand up.

Reluctantly tore the clothes into strips to make bandages.

"The clothes are so precious..." Liu Xiaoxiao muttered.

The people lying on the ground listened to him complaining that he felt a little short of breath.

"I'll pay you back in the future..." He said weakly.

Liu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Am I that kind of person?" The small pursed mouth could hang an oil bottle, but the speed of wrapping the mummy was much faster, obviously satisfied.

The man quietly slandered: Isn't that what it is.

She quietly raised her head and glanced at the side face of the young man who was tearing his clothes with his head down. There were still wet tears hanging on his face, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his voice was beating like a drum in his chest.

——It seems... quite cute...
