I walked west for half a day and it was almost dusk.

The caravan looked for a small sand dune, where they will rest tonight.

Hundreds of camels were surrounded in two large circles, and the goods were unloaded and piled up in the middle of the circle.

The surrounding corpses and entouragers set up seven or eight bonfires, and there was not much left in the caravan, and all the left was old pickles and dried cakes.

I don’t know which stinger had some jerky meat in the corner of the caravan. When I was transporting goods, I was discovered by other sects, and was immediately snatched away by many studs and entouragers.

Not everyone has to eat the remaining pickles and dried biscuits. There are two women in the caravan who specialize in serving the daily life and diet of the horse manager.

Guo Xiaojiu was invited together for the first time today and was able to have a meal with Manager Ma. Beside him were the two women. Manager Ma was sitting opposite him, and Kuizi was serving Manager Ma.

Behind Manager Ma, there were two very young followers with knifes, probably the close-fitting entourage of Manager Ma. They squat behind Manager Ma, looking at the broth in the iron pot on the bonfire, dazed.

There were only a few people around the bonfire, and behind the horse manager were camels and piled up goods.

There was also a young desert rogue wrapped in straw mattress. He squinted his eyes and looked at him listlessly occasionally.

Manager Ma rubbed his wrinkled cheeks and pinched his beard again: "Go and bring that man a bowl of broth to moisten."

A woman with mediocre appearance but good figure smiled and picked up the porcelain bowl beside her, raised a spoonful of meat soup, and poured it into the bowl: "Okay, Manager Ma, you are really a Bodhisattva-hearted person."

The other woman didn't say much. She almost didn't say anything when she was having dinner. She only raised her head when Manager Ma occasionally praised her or asked her.

This seemingly indifferent woman had a haggard face, probably unable to stand the climate in the desert. This woman's figure was even more popular than the woman before. Even younger, she must be a popular lovely person.

Not long after, the woman came back, put down the dishes, and began to stare at the bonfire in a daze.

A few days ago, several stintsmen were talking nonsense, saying that these two women were the love debts that Manager Ma had caused in the early years and could not be shaken off. So, even if they ran thousands of miles of yellow sand, they had to follow them.

Somehow, these words reached Manager Ma's ears. The two studs were pulled to a secluded place by Kuizi that night and tidied them up. The next day, it was difficult for him to walk.

Manager Ma did not deny it or admit it. Others only dared to say a few words in secret, but they would never dare to publicize it loudly.

When the sky was completely dark, a few cool breezes blew in the desert, allowing people to throw all the heat during the day behind.

Manager Ma waved his hands to the two close-fitting entourages behind him, and the two entourages hurriedly took off the iron pot from the bonfire.

After almost the packing was over, Manager Ma then stretched out his hand and placed it beside the jumping bonfire. He looked at the gorgeous starry sky at the end of the Gobi Desert in the distance and narrowed his eyes: "When I was young, I hoped to go to Mobei for several masters. Later, I got what I wanted, but I wanted to go back and stay safely in Longdong City to retire, and I didn't have that opportunity."

"My old man, when I ran to Mobei for the first time, I met a horse thief. At that time, the Ma family's manager was not me. I looked at the old man and fell in front of me. Later, someone else came. My Ma family's goods were not lost, but the old manager's life was thrown in the yellow sand. I shouted, it was probably the same life."

At this moment, the kind-hearted woman was sitting beside him. The woman smiled and closed her hair on her temples: "Master Ma, you are still in good health. What kind of nonsense is this?"

Unlike her, the seemingly indifferent woman raised her head at this time, looked at Manager Ma for a few glances, but she didn't say anything. She might be a little bored. She nodded at Manager Ma: "Manager Ma, I'm a little uncomfortable,..."

"Then go and rest. I am an old man, don't keep watching." Manager Ma nodded to the wife.

Kuizi has already ordered the escort on the night to plan the path to tomorrow.

A follower quietly approached Manager Ma's ear and murmured in his ear.

Others can't hear what they say, but although Manager Ma is old, his ears are not deaf, and he hears it very clearly.

I saw him staring wide, then looked up again, and looked at the night in the distance a few more times: "My Ma family is walking in this desert north. It has been more than ten years since I met a horse thief who dared to attack us."

"Is there really a horse thief?" The woman on the side saw Manager Ma like this, remembered the thoughts of Manager Ma just now, and frowned and asked.

"You, a woman, it's so late, so let's go and rest first. Why bother with this?" Manager Ma patted the woman's shoulder on the shoulder, and the expression on her face could not be seen.

Long before this, Guo Xiaojiu had already leaned against a camel alone, hugging the back of his head, thinking about the girl in his heart.

"Howl!" A sudden roar from the end of the desert interrupted Guo Xiaojiu's thoughts. He frowned and gently patted the scabbard beside him with his hand.

"It's a horse thief!" At this time, the escort who was responsible for the rotation of the night turned around and shouted at the caravan.

The stoogee who were already preparing to rest were carrying weapons, some came out of the camel's ring, and some leaned against the camel's back, all looking at the night in the distance.

In the night, a few lights popped up, then more than a dozen, and then hundreds of lights illuminated half of the sky on the Gobi Desert, brighter than the stars in the night sky!

The lights did not rushed over immediately, staying in the distant night, quietly waiting for the movement here.

Guo Xiaojiu stood up and did not walk into the ranks of those escorts. Instead, he quickly approached the direction of Manager Ma. There was also a sword-wielding ronin there. If he was not wrong, this was the best time to take action.

Beside Manager Ma, Kuizi was already standing by with a sword in his hand.

Guo Xiaojiu approached the campfire and happened to hear Kuizi's thick voice shouting: "We will do our best. If we really can't stop you, you will lose this goods and follow the two women to leave here quietly."

"Bah!" Manager Ma spat at the campfire: "This is in Mobei. I met a horse thief. There is no reason to say that I can't escape at all. Moreover, if you can't stop it, you have to stop it. Your life can be thrown away, but my Ma family's goods cannot be thrown away!"

"But..." Kuizi spread his hands, looking helpless. This is the life of brother No. 70 or 80.

"Not that much, but don't forget that there are four or five hundred people in your escort agency. Over the years, who have eaten in Longdong City? Who are the drinks?"

Manager Ma's face looked extremely ugly. He had already stood up and folded his hands on his lower abdomen: "When you see those horse bandits, first ask them if they don't know what my Ma family in Longdongcheng, what is the support of the merchants in this desert north?"

Perhaps being angry, Manager Ma did not see Guo Xiaojiu standing beside a camel behind him, quietly hiding under the camel's belly. Without looking at it carefully, he really couldn't see where there was a person hiding.

"The lives of our seventy or eighty stubborn mentors today are probably going to be buried in this yellow sand!" Kuizi said something unpainful and did not pay attention to the old stubborn man Ma, who was inhumane, and had already walked in the direction of the fire with his back on his back. There were already seventy or eighty stubborn mentors there, holding their weapons, and looking back from time to time.

When Kuizi walked a little further, Manager Ma then had a bitter face and sighed slightly.

Just as Manager Ma sighed, the Mobei Langren, who had been lying in the straw mat, sat up with his body and squeezed a few smiles on his face: "The manager of the Ma family?"

Manager Ma heard the sound and turned his head to look at it a few times: "Are you really a horse thief?"
