my wife is god catcher

Chapter 191 The scenery of the desert, the heart is as hard as a stone, and the body is as healthy as a camel
This is a small town on the banks of the Marian River.

Scorching sun, wind and sand, loess, poverty.

A woman in scantily clad clothes, holding a child with a disheveled face, ducks behind the wooden door to peek at people.

To be honest, this place is more suitable as the head of the beggar gang than Junshan, because it is too poor.

But poor and rich depend on the comparison. Compared with Gusu and Jinling, even beggars here are unwilling to come here.

But if compared with the surrounding villages and towns, this small town can be regarded as prosperous and prosperous, because it is the only place with a well within fifty miles nearby.

The loess was flying, and the shopkeeper of the small wine shop by the street was constantly blowing the sand on the pancakes with a cooking broom.

As long as he stops his hands, a layer of butter-like loess will accumulate on the cake. This kind of bread, in such a poor place, can be regarded as an absolute delicacy.

Such a place where the birds don't talk, the flowers don't smell fragrant, the chickens don't fly, the dogs don't jump around, the rabbits don't shit, and it has nothing to do with the romantic and unrestrained Chu Liuxiang.

However, Chu Liuxiang rode a horse for five days, exhausted himself, and finally arrived at this poor place.

He didn't have to come to this place, but followed the clues left by Black Pearl and chased him here. He wanted to find a place to rest for the night before continuing to chase.

Unexpectedly, I met Hu Tiehua.

He has not seen Hu Tiehua for seven years.

The last time we met was also in summer, and the place was Mochou Lake in Jinling. The lotus flowers on Mochou Lake bloomed beautifully.

Chu Liuxiang, Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan, and Gao Yanan, the "Female Swordsman of Qingfeng" of the Huashan School.

They rolled lotus leaves into wine glasses to drink, drank a glass of wine, and threw a lotus leaf. They didn't know how much they drank, but they only remembered that the boat was almost full of lotus leaves.

Just when the pile of lotus leaves was higher than his nose, Hu Tiehua asked Gao Yanan to marry him with the help of wine, Gao Yanan agreed, and then Hu Tiehua ran away.

Gao Yanan has been looking for Hu Tiehua for seven years, and Hu Tiehua has been hiding from Gao Yanan for seven years, don't you like it?I naturally like it in my heart, but liking doesn't mean marriage.

Hu Tiehua has deep-seated fear of marriage. He is more prodigal than Chu Liuxiang and will never get married.

Hu Tiehua ran away, and Ji Bingyan also left.

Chu Liuxiang's wings have been gone for seven years, and although she has gained a greater reputation, she always feels that something is missing.

Now that Hu Tiehua has been found, Chu Liuxiang feels very happy. His confidence in defeating the desert is inevitably increased by [-]% to [-]%, probably [-]% to [-]%.

After all, even Chu Liuxiang does not have the ability to change the nature of the world. He is just Chu Liuxiang, not a peerless strongman who can change the weather of the world.

Of course, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua alone cannot defeat the desert. They have to find another person.

Ji Bingyan!
One of the richest men in the desert!

It should be known that the Silk Road is the road of wealth and gold, rich businessmen gathered here, and wealth is nothing here, because there are rich people everywhere.

But if you have enough wealth, you can still get enough respect.

Ji Bingyan is one who can make the local businessmen stand in awe, which means that there are very, very few rich men like him no matter where he is.

He didn't do any regular business, as long as it was a profitable business, he would get involved.

In this huge oasis, if he could earn ten taels of silver every day, one tael would belong to him.

A person who can earn so much wealth from scratch in seven years must be more worthy of respect, not only because his surname is "Ji".

Here, no one does not know Ji Bingyan.

Just casually asking for directions, Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua found Ji Bingyan's mansion.

A porter with a burly figure and a giant spirit led them into the leafy courtyard. Two teenagers in spotless white gowns politely led them into the spacious and gorgeous living room.

Several layers of bamboo curtains are hung in the living room to keep the summer heat out of the curtains. When the breeze blows the bamboo curtains, it seems that swallows are flying in the curtains.

It's hard to imagine that in this desert of yellow sand, there is such an elegant garden, such a wealthy atmosphere, and such a big family's heritage.

Chu Liuxiang came very quickly, but there was someone who came faster than Chu Liuxiang, and that person was Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu would never wrong herself, let alone go to a place where the birds don't shit. After receiving the letter from Chu Liuxiang, she immediately set off to find Ji Bingyan.

Of course Li Jinyu can find Ji Bingyan.

In this vast desert of yellow sand, if there is one person who is Li Jinyu's friend, it must be Ji Bingyan.

The two are not best friends who are as old as new, but become friends bit by bit through constant contact and business again and again.

Many people know that one-tenth of the profit in this oasis belongs to Ji Bingyan.

Few people knew that if Ji Bingyan earned ten taels of silver, three taels of it would belong to Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu is his major shareholder.

Long before digging the treasures of Liancheng, Li Jinyu dug several small treasures and did business in the Western Regions. Ji Bingyan was Li Jinyu's biggest collaborator.

Hmm... In fact, it was selling stolen goods at first!
The jewels in the treasure are not easy to sell in the Central Plains, so they can only be sold in such a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Afterwards, part of the Liancheng treasure, the underground palace treasure, and the Xu Jingye treasure were also given to Ji Bingyan.

Most people only know that Li Jinyu does shipping business through the Giant Whale Gang, but not many people know that Li Jinyu does business in the Western Regions through Ji Bingyan.

How should I put it, prudence is prudence!

Chu Liuxiang didn't wait too long, and four girls in white clothes like snow came in carrying a soft couch.

A person leaned down on the soft couch, laughed loudly and said, "Chu Liuxiang, Hu lunatic, I never thought you two drunks still haven't forgotten me."

Although he was laughing, his eyes were still as sharp as a hawk's.

Laziness, slowness, and indecision are the common faults of most people, but at any time, no matter who it is, it is impossible to find the slightest expression of this kind of expression on his angular face.

He is like the embodiment of shrewdness and sharpness.

Only such a person can earn such a name in this ghostly place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

Li Jinyu didn't have such a big airs, and walked out with a jug of grape wine, the ice silkworm chill passed by, and it had turned into iced wine, even with ice cubes.

"Come on! Have a drink! Go get rid of the heat!"

Hu Tiehua never refuses any wine, especially in this hot weather, even more so.

Chu Liuxiang said: "I really can't imagine how the two of you became friends."

Li Jinyu smiled and said, "I don't know either, I can only say that the two of us might get along better."

Hu Tiehua said: "Your peach blossom eyes are worse than old bugs, how can you get along with a dead rooster?"

Li Jinyu said: "We both like to enjoy ourselves very much, and we are also very good at making money."

Chu Liuxiang said: "Ji Bingyan can make money, I believe, isn't all your money picked up?"

Li Jinyu said: "No one will cherish the money you pick up, and it will be spent quickly. Only the money you earn with your ability can be kept for a long time."

Chu Liuxiang said: "How did you know that I would come here? You seem to have known this for a long time!"

Li Jinyu said: "There are too many dangers in the yellow sand desert. If there is no one who is familiar with the desert climate to lead the way, it will definitely be the way to death."

In the desert of yellow sand, it is so hot during the day that you want to peel off your skin, and at night it is so cold that you can freeze your blood.

A hill can become flat in an instant, and a flat can become a hill in an instant.

The sky is connected to the ground, and the earth is connected to the sky, making people unable to tell the difference between east, west, north and south. The dialects of people who have lived in the desert for a long time are simply incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Even if one is lucky and does not encounter a sandstorm, just being thirsty can turn a person into a mummified corpse.

If you encounter a black sandstorm, even the masters of the four great gods will be very dangerous.

Ji Bingyan said: "If the two of you go to the desert like this, there will only be a dead end."

Chu Liuxiang said: "As long as others can live, so can we. Unless the desert is full of dead people, we can also live."

Ji Bingyan sneered and said, "It's not the same."

Hu Tiehua said: "It's really different. Our martial arts are higher and we can live longer."

Ji Bingyan said: "It is to die faster. If you enter the desert with this kind of mind, unless you are the supreme master, it will be difficult to survive ten days."

Hu Tiehua said angrily: "You look down on me?"

Ji Bingyan said: "Your hearts and bones have long been softened by wine and meat, by women, and by a life that is too comfortable. Life in the desert is far beyond what you can adapt to."

Hu Tiehua said: "I have lived in a place a hundred times poorer than here for nearly four years."

"In order to reduce the water consumption in the body, they can not speak or move for a few days, can you?
When they are hungry, they can eat lizards and scorpions as chicken legs, can you?
When they are thirsty, they can dig a foot-deep hole in the sand with their hands, just to suck the water in the sand. With this trace of water, they can live for three days.

They can even drink camel urine, you just have to smell it and you'll spit it out, and the sooner you spit it out, the faster you die!
People in the desert, not only can't do what you do for survival, you don't even dare to think about it! "

"At least I really don't dare to drink urine."

"When necessary, if you dare not drink, you will die, but if they dare to drink, they will live.

So they are actually better than you, it's a matter of survival, nothing to do with martial arts intelligence at all. "

Ji Bingyan's tone was very cold and solemn, but Chu Liuxiang was determined to go to the desert, and Hu Tiehua also wanted to go to the desert, and no one could stop it.

If Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua were going to take risks, then no matter what Ji Bingyan was doing, it was impossible for him to just watch, so he would naturally go.

As one of the largest local tyrants, Ji Bingyan's preparations are far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

He prepared a long caravan of camels, a very comfortable carriage, and two strange men.

A strong man like a tower.

His name is Stone Camel.

The stone camel was wearing an old sheepskin vest, revealing muscles blacker than iron and stronger.

A face is like dried orange peel, with bumps and bumps, and there is not half an inch of smooth and clean place.

A pair of gray eyes, the whites of the eyes and the eyeballs can hardly be distinguished, not Jing Wuming's eyes that ignore life, but cloudy.

The inside and outside are all cloudy and hazy, and no one would have thought that there are people with such eyes in the world.

The most surprising thing is that he was able to fall asleep under any circumstances, even if he was driving, walking, or running.

This is a deaf, blind and dumb man who can communicate with livestock, tell directions, find water sources, and is a living map in the desert.

A handsome boy.

His name is Xiao Pan.

Little Pan Sheng has a baby face and looks to be in his twenties, but he is actually 42 years old.

He can speak the north and south of the Yangtze River, the banks of the Yellow River, Lingnan in Fujian, Guizhou, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hubei, no matter which dialect he speaks, fluently and naturally, just like the local aborigines.

No matter what deal you do, just let him do it with confidence, even if he closes his eyes, he won't suffer a loss.

If it wasn't for Xiao Pan being Ji Bingyan's confidant and favorite general, Li Jinyu would have already thought of a way to poach her.

Hu Tiehua was very curious about the stone camel, and Li Jinyu was also very curious about the stone camel. He was not born deaf, dumb and blind, but was cruelly tortured.

Shi Tuo used to be a normal person, even a well-known swordsman in Jianghu. He came from the Huashan School.

Shi Guanyin had a blood feud with the Huashan faction, and killed six of the seven swordsmen of the Huashan Jade Girl Peak. He was also confident in his appearance and charm, and wanted the stone camel to surrender completely.

The stone camel did not surrender, so Shi Guanyin tortured him with various vicious methods.

She let the stone camel pull the mill like a donkey, and whipped it whenever it stopped, and it lasted for more than a year without stopping for a single step.

Therefore, the stone camel can not only sleep standing up, but also eat and drink while standing, eat and drink when walking, and eat and drink when running, without any influence at all.

Seeing that the stone camel could not be surrendered, Shi Guanyin nailed the stone camel to the ground, trying to sun the camel to death.

The stone camel's eyes were blinded by the sun, but he still survived tenaciously, like a withered Populus euphratica, no matter what time, he will try his best to survive.

After entering the desert, all the mounts turned into camels, and Ji Bingyan burned his carriage.

He would never leave his beloved in the hands of others, and would rather destroy it with his own hands.

Only one person did not ride a camel.

Stone camel!

The stone camel followed the camel step by step, whether it was desert, flat land, swamp, river, cold or hot...it seemed to have no effect on this person.

He seemed to have low self-esteem, but at the same time he seemed very arrogant, as if he didn't dare to come and enjoy Li Jinyu's and the others' happiness, but also seemed to disdain to be with them.

The more open the place, the quieter the place, the more obvious his expression is.

Sitting in the boundless desert, in the cold and silent night, he is like an exiled emperor, silently enduring the silent loneliness, pain and humiliation!

Hu Tiehua couldn't help but said: "If you let me know who made him like this, I will definitely return it intact. That's too cruel."

Li Jinyu said: "Whenever I encounter any difficulties, I always think of the stone camel, and then I feel that everything is just like this, and I can get over it."

Chu Liuxiang said: "You use him as an example?"

Li Jinyu said: "You can also say that!"

Hu Tiehua said: "Although I have been in that place for four years, I know that you are a very capable person. Do you know his origin?"

Li Jinyu nodded: "I know, but what's the point? He can't go back. His life already belongs to the oasis and the desert."

Ji Bingyan said: "Did you find out?"

Li Jinyu said: "It's too early to say this now, but I have used him as an example for so long, if I meet his enemy, I will fight righteously."

Chu Liuxiang shuddered, he thought of a rumor in the world - whenever Li Jinyu participated in an incident, that incident would definitely become a big one, and a big one would kill him!

In the past, Li Jinyu's name was Mr. Yujie, but now there are countless people calling him the reincarnation of an evil star.

If Li Jinyu wanted to do something big, this trip to the desert would probably turn into a bloody journey.

Li Jinyu said: "It's really cold in the desert. Drink a glass of wine to warm your body. If you catch the wind and cold, it's not a good thing. It's like a mountain falling when you get sick!"

Chu Liuxiang said in her heart that I was worried that you would kill Da Mo until blood flowed into rivers, who the hell is suffering from the wind and cold?
However, the night was indeed a bit cold. Chu Liuxiang took the hot wine and drank it in one gulp. Feeling the heat blooming from her body, she immediately felt satisfied.

"Brother Li, do you have a gun?"

"What do you ask this for?"

"Don't you know?"

"I can tell you responsibly that I not only brought a gun, but also smelled blood."

"What bloody?"

"Blood from the enemy."

Li Jinyu looked up at Mingyue: "Our enemies have come, they are like poisonous scorpions hiding under the gravel, or collapsing quicksand."

Hu Tiehua said: "Do you know where it is?"

Li Jinyu said, "Do you want to see it?"

Hu Tiehua said: "Of course I want to."

Li Jinyu smiled and said, "Then you can see!"

Before the words fell, there were only a few clicking sounds, and a spear had been assembled. Under Hu Tiehua's shocked gaze, the spear flew far away.

"Pfft!"

The spear pierced the bunker!

Before Hu Tiehua could speak strange words, blood gushed out of the place where the spear pierced.

Li Jinyu's wrist was wrapped with ice silk, and one end was on the end of the spear. With a light pull, the spear returned to his hand without a drop of blood on it.

Hu Tiehua ran over quickly and dug the man out as fast as he could, only to find that the man was buried deeply in the sandpit, covered with sand all over his body.

"This...this is..."

"Sand bandit, the most common type of bandit on the desert, sneaks into the sand and escapes, coming and going like the wind, as long as there are enough benefits, they dare to do anything."

Ji Bingyan explained coldly.

Those who do business in this place, the first thing they learn is how to guard against sand robbers. Ji Bingyan suffered a big loss from sand robbers, and he has deeply remembered it since then.

Ji Bingyan went on to say: "The yellow sand can cover up all traces, no matter what background you have, or how famous you are, it's useless here."

Hu Tiehua said: "Then what is useful?"

Li Jinyu shook the spear in his hand: "Only blood can bring them back to their senses. As long as they are scared to death, they will retreat on their own."

Hu Tiehua said: "Is it okay not to kill people?"

This question was not asked for himself, but for Chu Liuxiang, because Chu Liuxiang never killed people.

"Yes, but the difficulty is very high!"
