After hearing Bing Zhixie's intention, Gaofeng said: "We came out to find Cang Ye, why did we suddenly go to save people again? Can we not do things half-heartedly?"
Bing Zhixie: "I have thought about it. It is too risky to take Cang Ye away, and it is not under our control. The chance of success is low, and it is not a feasible and good method."
"Then we should go back to the oasis. Since we agreed to help the queen, we can think of another way if nothing works." Gale said.
"You don't have to go back to the city to think about a solution." Bing Zhixie said: "There are still about ten days left in half a month. I will go find someone first and then rush back. If I go back now, if I can't find a solution, it is just waiting."
Hayate began to think deeply.
Bing Zhixie added: "You are more seriously injured than me, and your previous injuries are not all healed. You can rest for a few days when you return to the oasis. I should help you with the affairs of the Rondulon Carson Church."
"Will my injury be more serious than yours? It sounds like you are stronger than me." Gale was not convinced: "Humph, if Cang Ye's power hadn't suppressed me, I would be like this?" He thought to himself, wouldn't it be wrong if he left like this?
He was very embarrassed and said: "I think what you said makes sense. If you need to find someone, I will go there. I have an informant and can get more information."
A smile appeared on Bing Zhixie's lips.
"Hey, why are you laughing? Grandma, you're playing tricks on me, right?" Hayate realized that he had been fooled, and didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he said bravely: "I know you are provoking me, I deliberately fell for your fool...
No, I originally wanted to help... Damn!" He found that the more he explained, the more guilty he became, and he kicked the stone angrily. After thinking about it, he still felt unwilling to say: "I just thought about helping you find someone.
, Celeste, even if you don’t provoke me, the result will be the same!”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes." Bing Zhixie turned around and walked towards the two Garans who were dozens of meters away.
"You...you..." Hayate was so angry at his attitude that he couldn't speak. It was obvious that he was not going because he was provoked, but he made it seem as if he was provoked.
…
Two days later.
Kayan is a place with a harsh environment. It is built up of several rocky mountains. The people who stay here can barely survive. In the summer, the only well here can still pump out water. In the winter, they can only rely on water storage or water delivery from outside.
.
At the same time, it is a transit station in the desert. Many traders passing by from north to south and west to east will take a rest here. Kayan is also a halfway house. Those who have been tried by the penalty court or tribunal and have committed minor crimes will
Men under the age of 16 who commit crimes will be detained in a halfway house for punishment. Therefore, this place often becomes a place for sand bandits to find new subordinates. Many underage boys have been in contact with sand bandits early on, and some directly join the gang.
Some of them became informants for the sand pirates after returning to the city. It was in a similar place like this that Swift Eagle met Hayate, and even his name was given by Hayate.
Because of the above reasons, Kayan is a place where information gathers. The guards here have information about most of the merchants going south, north, east and west. Gale Feng led Bing Zhixie and the others to this place that few outsiders know about and asked.
information.
The guard was a man with tanned skin and a turban wrapped in three-color cloth. His face had been covered with a brown mask to prevent wind and sand for many years. Only the area above the bridge of the nose and below the eyebrows was exposed. But this was the only part exposed.
You can see the cut scars on his face through his skin, and his pair of transparent silver eyes.
He had just fetched water with an old wooden bucket. When he heard the footsteps of outsiders coming, he only glanced sideways, still dragging the two buckets feebly, and poured the water into a large water tank outside the rock mountain.
Inside, cover the water tank with wooden boards and stones.
"Hey buddy, has any Sabanta businessman come here with a girl with long green hair in the past few days?" Hayate didn't have any extra polite words and directly stated his intention when meeting.
The Kayan guard waved his hand and walked into the stone house carved under the rock mountain. He turned back and glanced at the three strangers warily.
Gaofeng signaled Bing Zhixie and the other three to wait outside, and followed him in.
"I never thought there was such a place hidden in the desert." Silio looked around and saw the closed gate at the foot of the rocky mountain opposite. That should be the halfway house for juvenile offenders that Hayate mentioned.
There were some noises behind the gate, probably from the teenagers detained here, but there weren't many noises, and I don't know how many were being guarded.
After seven or eight minutes, Gao Feng came out of the stone house and threw a new water bag to each of them: "This stuff is not cheap. Drinking it can restore some physical strength and quench thirst."
The liquid poured out of the water bag is light green and goose yellow and translucent. It has no taste when you drink it, only a slight sourness.
"Is there any news?" Garland held the wine bag but did not drink.
Gale held up the skin bag and drank a few sips, wiped his mouth and nodded: "In the past five days, only a few merchants passed by. They spent the night here less than ten hours ago. Well, there is something fresh over there.
The camel dung is probably what they left behind."
"That……"
"There was a young woman with green hair in the team. The guard said he didn't see any external injuries on the woman, but she was probably under control." Hayate said, "The guard didn't ask them where they were going next. He only said that they were chatting.
In other words, he sounded like he was going to Xiangshan City."
"Xiangshan City... is in the east." Silio recalled the map in his mind and said, "It's not that close to here."
Gale said: "It's not just a question of whether it's close or not, that's the territory controlled by the Angel Faction."
"What's the problem?" Bing Zhixie was puzzled.
"There's no big problem. It's the hinterland of the True Religion. Outsiders who don't abide by the rules usually don't end well."
Syrio asked him, "Are you a rule-abiding person yourself?"
Gao Feng glanced at him and smiled lightly: "That's no problem. We don't necessarily have to go to Xiangshan City and intercept those businessmen halfway."
"Eat, rest, and then go on your way." Silio arranged the following plans like a leader.
After Hayate and the other four left, the door of the halfway house opened, and a thin but fair and neat teenager wearing shabby clothes walked out.
"Why are you hiding?" The guard with handicapped legs came out of his house. He was like a hopeless body and said in a voice that was almost dry: "Do you know any of those people?"
The teenager nodded.
"You're afraid of seeing people you used to know."
"Yes." The young man lowered his head in shame.
"Ha." The guard smiled sarcastically: "You are not suitable to be my student yet, because you still have dignity and self-love. Only when you put down your self-esteem will I teach you the real killing skills! Hum hum...
"
The young man stood at the gate in a daze. A small piece of earth and stone rolled down from his head and hit him. He immediately swept away the dust on his body. Even though the clothes on his body were old and torn, he did not want to be contaminated by any unclean sand and dust.
The guard noticed his actions and turned his back and said, "Come in and eat. Wash the dishes after you finish. Use less water."
