I wiped it away, so I could touch it. It was simply a bad fate cultivated in my previous life!
Qu Le quietly backed away and retracted into the carriage. She told Lan Li and Elder Lan about the discovery of sand thieves in the oasis.
Lan Li and Elder Lan considered it together and decided to go over to see the situation. It was already dark now, and no one knew what kind of dangers were hidden in the desert at night. In comparison, the oasis was much safer, and the ones they brought
There is not enough water, so they must go to the oasis to replenish water, otherwise they will die of thirst in the desert tomorrow.
The three of them deliberately changed into more low-key clothes, and smeared their bodies with yellow sand and dust, making themselves so gray that their original appearance could hardly be seen. Even the horses were smeared with thick dust, and their faces were covered with dust.
The iron hooves are also wrapped in cloth.
After finishing their visit to the village, they drove a carriage and sneaked into the oasis from another direction.
It was completely dark at this time, and their movements were so light that almost no one noticed their arrival.
There is only one lake in the entire oasis, and the best location near the lake has been occupied by a gang of sand pirates, a group of people who look like circus people, and another group of people with no apparent origin. Qu Le is far away
He glanced at them, then followed Lan Li and Elder Lan to hide behind a big rock. Lan Li secretly went to the lake to fetch water. Qu Le put the picked branches on the ground and lit them on fire, waiting until Lan Li came back after fetching water.
, the three of them ate a few dry steamed buns, finished their dinner hastily, and fell asleep leaning against the stone with their clothes on.
They didn't sleep for long before they were woken up.
Two people, one large and one small, stood in front of the three of them. The younger one was still asking: "Are they bad people?"
The older one said: "Monks are merciful. We must believe that people have good intentions at first."
Qu Le opened her eyes and looked at the two bald monks in front of her. She thought that the world was really small, and they could meet like this. The evil bond between them was getting deeper and deeper.
Lan Li and Elder Lan also opened their eyes and sat up. Lan Li's right hand quietly touched the dagger behind him, and he stared warily at the two unknown monks in front of him.
The little novice monk exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! They are all awake!"
Qu Le thought to herself, if you speak so loudly, the dead could be woken up.
Lan Li looked at the two monks carefully and asked, "Who are you?"
The young novice immediately clasped his hands together and said a little shyly: "The poor monk is named Jueyu. This is my master, named Miaoben. We are monks passing by and want to rest here for a night. I wonder if the three-dimensional benefactor can do it.
convenient?"
It's midnight and no one knows each other. Who dares to let two strangers stay with them overnight? Just as Lan Li was about to refuse, Qu Le spoke first. She said generously: "Sit down."
Jueyu and Miaoben immediately thanked them profusely and sat down next to the fire. It was too late for Lan Li to chase them away, so he had to look at Qule and motion for her to give a reasonable explanation.
Qule gave him a calm look and whispered: "Don't worry, they are not bad people."
Lan Li didn't believe it: "Bad people don't even have the word bad written on their faces."
"I know them. They are all serious monks. Don't think too badly of them."
Hearing this, Lan Li felt reassured. He was not an unkind person. As long as he was not a person of unknown origin, it was okay to help him.
Although their voices were very low, there were few people here and everyone was sitting close to each other. Jueyu and Miaoben heard their conversation. Jueyu looked at Qule curiously, her face was covered with a veil.
His facial features were unclear, and he could only see a pair of beautiful eyes with sparkling waves. Jueyu searched his memory carefully and determined that he had never seen such a pair of beautiful eyes before. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you know us? But I haven't seen it at all.
Pass you?"
Qu Le joked casually: "I once heard Master Miaoben lecture on Buddhist scriptures once. There were many people listening to the scriptures. It's normal that you didn't see me."
Miaoben became interested: "Are you interested in Buddhist scriptures?"
Qu Le replied nonchalantly: "Well, listening to Buddhist scriptures is quite useful when you have insomnia."
Miaoben: "..."
The conversation could no longer go on, so Miaoben and Jueyu took out the dry steamed buns they had brought with them and stuffed them into their mouths with cold water.
Lan Li said to Qu Le and Elder Lan: "You go to bed first, I will stay overnight."
Qu Le understood that he still couldn't completely trust two outsiders to stay with him overnight. He was too cautious and careful. Compared with the cheerful and lively Lan Xun, the two brothers' personalities were really different. He didn't know how they changed from a girl to a girl.
It popped out of her stomach. She complained in her heart and said to Lan Li: "You have to drive tomorrow. If you don't sleep tonight, it will easily affect your spirit. Don't stay up all night, just sleep."
Elder Lan also advised: "Don't be too nervous. It's important to keep your spirits up."
Under the joint persuasion of the two of them, Lan Li finally compromised. He wrapped himself in a blanket, leaned on a stone and closed his eyes to rest. After Qu Le and Elder Lan fell asleep, he opened his eyes again and sat up straight.
Be vigilant about security around you.
Miao Ben and Jue Yu, who had just finished dinner and were about to go to bed, saw him, nodded to him and said hello, then fell down and fell asleep.
After a short sleep, Qu Le and others were woken up again.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes, glanced at Lan Li who had woken her up, and asked dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"
Lang Li woke up several other people again. He pointed at the figures on the other side of the lake and said, "They are fighting. Should we hide in a more secluded place?"
The figures on the other side of the lake were swaying, and a few angry curses could be heard from time to time. They were all fighting together. The scene was extremely chaotic. The light of the sword was shining brightly against the fire, which was particularly dazzling in the dark night.
Qu Le immediately sat up and looked at the show on the other side of the lake curiously: "What happened?"
Lang Li said: "Not long after you fell asleep, another group of caravans came to spend the night here. This group had camels and horses, and they brought a lot of boxes. It looked like they brought a lot of valuables.
The sand bandit gang was so jealous of the money that they started killing people and grabbing the goods. When the boss of the caravan saw that something was not going well, he immediately asked the circus and another group for help. The two groups agreed to help. They joined forces to besiege the sand bandit group.
The Sand Pirates gang retreated steadily with more than half of them dead and wounded, and they were about to win. However, the circus suddenly switched sides at the critical moment, and in the blink of an eye they were fighting with that group, and it became what you see now."
Qu Le clicked his tongue: "Tsk, tsk, gangster eats gangster, dog bites dog, this situation is really chaotic."
Elder Lan said: "Stop looking, we are not allowed to see this kind of excitement. Take your head back quickly."
Qule retracted obediently, hid behind the stone, and asked, "Should we move to a hiding place?"
Miao Ben said slowly: "The poor monk and disciples have just come all the way here, and this is the most suitable place to hide. Although it is an oasis, the trees are still too sparse to hide people, otherwise the poor monks, masters and disciples would not be able to hide."
As for hiding here specifically from you."
Lan Li was still hesitant to believe what he said, but Qu Le already said: "In that case, let's hide here. It would be troublesome to change places. If something happens, there will inevitably be another fierce fight."
.”
Seeing that she believed in him so much, Miao Ben smiled kindly at her: "What the female donor said is absolutely true."
So all the five people huddled behind the stone and did not dare to move. Listening to the occasional shouting of killing coming from across the lake, Jueyu clasped his hands and lowered his head to recite Buddhist scriptures silently, while Qule leaned on the stone and yawned non-stop.
The more devoted she became, the louder her yawns became, and finally she simply fell asleep.
Miao Ben thought to himself that this female benefactor was really generous. She was able to sleep in such an environment, which was really unparalleled.
Lan Li suddenly pulled Qule hard: "People are running this way! Hurry, let's go!"
"Ah? Who is coming?" Qu Le looked around blankly.
Lan Li didn't bother to explain, he grabbed her with one hand, pulled out the dagger with the other, and ran quickly to the side path. Elder Lan and Jueyu Miaoben followed closely behind. They didn't even have time to pack their luggage, so they hurriedly
Escape from this land of right and wrong.
Not long after they left, the leader of the Sand Bandits, who had just escaped from the troubled battlefield on the other side of the lake, fled here with a few remaining men. They saw luggage and objects scattered on the ground, as well as a fire that had not yet been extinguished.
Said: "Someone has been here. They should have just left not long ago. Judging from the footprints, they seem to have run this way. Boss, should we catch up and take a look?"
The leader of the Sand Bandits sat down on the blanket, casually inserted the big knife into the ground, wiped the blood on his face, and said in a rough voice: "Fuck you! We all have too much time to take care of ourselves, so what time do we have to take care of others?"
The cats and dogs?”
The subordinates hurriedly bowed their heads in agreement, and each picked up the luggage and objects on the ground. They kept what they saw that could be used and threw away the rest.
Qu Le and others actually didn't go very far. They found a place to squat in the grass nearby. After a while, they saw that no one was chasing them. Qu Le bravely stuck out half of her head to look out. She saw those sand bandits.
While I was going through my luggage, I saw them holding their bellybands and joking and laughing. I immediately became angry and wished I could rush up and give them a big ear-scratching!
She gritted her teeth and cursed in her mind: "Son of a bitch!"
At this moment, another group of people rushed over, it was the group of people who couldn't tell their origins.
Each of them held weapons with expressionless faces and wore the most ordinary Hu clothes, but Qu Le's intuition told Qu Le that these people were definitely not from the Garuda Kingdom, they looked more like Han people.
Seeing them appear, Qule immediately retracted her head, but she was muttering in her heart that the man who was leading just now looked familiar, she seemed to have seen it somewhere before...
When the leader of the Sand Bandits saw those people catching up, his expression suddenly changed. His men hurriedly asked: "Boss, what should we do now? There is no place to escape!"
"Fleeing from his grandma is a bear! I will fight with these bastards!" The leader of the sand bandits was forced to panic. In addition, he had just witnessed his subordinates being killed one by one, which inspired the last bit of bloodiness. He directly swung the big knife.
, rushing towards the opponent desperately! (To be continued)
