Chapter 157 Small Mountain Village

Bai Fang asked the two black-faced men the exact location of the desert, so he and Xiao You hurried to the desert.

After walking for more than ten miles, Bai Fang really saw a desert, with yellow sand flying all over the sky, without any vegetation, and it looked desolate.

Bai Fang glanced, but couldn't see the edge, what caught his eye was only yellow sand, Bai Fang and Xiao You looked at each other, took out the map, Bai Fang spread the map, put it on the ground, and looked at it with a frown. stand up.

"Which place in the desert should the place you remember be?" Bai Fang looked at the map and asked Xiao You.

Xiao You also leaned in front of the map, and after distinguishing for a while, said: "The place I remember is thirty miles west of Helan Mountain, and then a little northerly."

White Fang asked, "Does that mean we have to walk another fifteen miles in this desert?"

Xiao You nodded and said: "Well, it should be. Anyway, we searched around the place thirty miles west of Lihelan Mountain, and we should be able to find that place."

White Fang put away the map and said, "Alright then, without further ado, let's go in now."

After Bai Fang finished speaking, he walked into the desert, and Xiao You followed behind Bai Fang.

It is easy to get lost in the desert, but White Fang walked while looking at the sun in the sky, trying to walk in a straight line as much as possible. There was yellow sand everywhere, which was very inconvenient for the two of them to walk, so they walked very slowly. An hour later, after Bai Fang reckoned to have walked fifteen miles, he stopped. Standing on a small sand dune, Bai Fang looked around, and found that there was nothing but yellow sand all around him. Almost, I can't tell where the small mountain is.

"Let's go straight to the north and return the same way before it gets dark. We can't stay in this desert at night." After Bai Fang glanced at the yellow sand around him, he made a decision. Only thirty miles west of Helan Mountain It is possible to find the place marked on the map only if you search carefully, and at night, you must not stay in the desert. The temperature difference between the day and night in the desert is large, and the two of you are not prepared. You are looking for death, so before dark, no matter whether you find the small mountain range marked on the map or not, you have to go back.

Xiao You looked at Bai Fang and nodded.

Therefore, the two went directly to the north to search. Since the terrain in the desert was basically the same, it was very inconvenient for Bai Fang and the two to search. Before dark, they found no clues, so they had to go back. , out of the desert.

Bai Fang and Bai Ya left the desert and saw a small village on the edge of the desert. They were delighted that with a village, they would not have to spend the night in the wilderness at night, so they walked towards the village.

When they got closer, Bai Ya could see the situation of the village clearly. The houses piled up with stones looked very dilapidated. When Bai Ya and the two came to the village, they only found a few people in the village. Dull, with a sallow complexion, with cuts on his hands and face that were blown apart by the wind, they stared blankly at Bai Fang and Xiao You.

After some difficulty, Bai Fang got into a conversation with an old man, and signaled that the two of them would spend the night here, but the old man turned pale when he heard this, and shook his head.

Looking at the old man shaking his head, Bai Fang kept persuading the old man that the two of them would only stay here for one night, borrow a place, and leave him alone. In the end, Bai Fang paid out a tael of silver to persuade the old man up.

The old man vacated a house for White Fang and the two to live in, and White Fang took the opportunity to ask the old man about the desert.

"Old man, can I ask you about the desert?" White Fang asked.

Hearing Bai Fang's question, the old man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle, "What desert? I don't know, I don't know."

When the old man shook his head, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

White Fang saw the old man's look in his eyes, and doubts arose in his heart.

"How come you don't know? The desert is more than ten miles away from here. How can you people who have lived here for a long time not know?" Seeing the old man shaking his head, Xiao You hurriedly asked questions.

Hearing Xiaoyou's words, the old man's body trembled a bit, then fear appeared in his eyes, and pain appeared on his dull face.

"I don't know what a desert is or not, and I don't know anything, so don't ask, don't ask." The old man put down the things in his hands, and almost shouted to the two white teeth. After speaking, the old man said When I left the room, I didn't know where to go.

Bai Fang and Xiao You looked at each other, at a loss.

The two of them just asked the old man about the desert, but they didn't expect the old man's reaction to be so strong, there must be something wrong with it.

Bai Fang frowned and left the room. It was already dark outside. Two small heads appeared in front of the gate of the old man's yard. They were children of an unknown family. The faces of the two children were full of cuts, and their faces were even more serious. It was pitch black.

White Fang looked around the old man's house, looking for the old man, and finally saw the old man in an open space behind the house, but at this moment the old man was sitting on the ground, his eyes powerlessly looking into the distance, and White Fang found the old man's face There are traces of tears running across.

White Fang walked over, knelt down, and said, "Old man, I'm sorry."

The old man didn't answer what White Fang said, but just looked into the distance dully.

At this time, a middle-aged woman in her 30s with dark cheeks and a rag wrapped around her head came over. The woman walked up to the old man and helped the old man up, "Third uncle, your body is important, Hei Yazi and the others have already gone, but you have to live well..."

The old man stood up slowly with the support of the woman, and then walked towards the house. The woman stood there looking at the back of the old man and shook her head.

"Young man, you must have asked third uncle about the desert?" After the old man entered the room, the woman turned her head and looked at Bai Fang and asked.

White Fang nodded.

"It's a place of death. Few people dare to approach it. As long as they go deep into the desert, no one can come out alive. There will be a strange wind every few days in the desert, and there is no fixed time. No one knows who he is. How do they appear and disappear? They often appear suddenly and then disappear suddenly. Every time people who approach the desert will be swept away by the wind, they don’t know whether they are alive or dead. According to our ancestors, there lived a man-eating man in the desert. Monster, my third uncle's son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all swept away by the strange wind. He is now lonely and pitiful, so please stop talking about the desert in front of my third uncle." The woman glanced at White Fang and spoke slowly.

White Fang finally understood when he heard the woman say this.
