Chapter 1 Caravan
On the edge, strong winds blow the weeds into yellow, and there is no water source within a hundred miles of the dry season.
At this time, a convoy slowly passed through the wasteland. The main means of transportation were exquisite beast cars. Each beast car was exactly the same size and shape. The animals pulling the cart were not ugly wilderness monsters, but a white horse with a horned and a majestic figure.
Each animal car has a flag, a red background and a green picture fluttering in the wind. It is a flower pattern wrapped around thorns. The number of guards in the team is about thirty, and the armor is carved with thorn flowers. The weapons are mainly composed of continuous flare crossbows and telescopic blades produced in the divine realm. These are very common ordinary equipment in the divine realm.
An old man with a snow-white head was a team leader, his face full of traces of carvings from the years, and snow-white silks drooped to his shoulders. Although he was already very old, he looked energetic. A silk robe painted with exquisite thorn flowers was cut appropriately, holding a black jade bracelet in his right hand, and each jade bead was rubbed all year round and shining.
Unified family patterns, unified customized animal carts, and unified weapons and equipment.
The beast cart is full of ore, leather, and herbs, all of which indicate their identities.
The Thorn Flower Caravan, an ordinary small caravan in the Tianyun Divine Realm, Lao Jing is the founder of the caravan.
People in Tianyun City are born with pride. In the minds of people in the Divine Realm, the wilderness has long been transformed into a barren land full of dirty and bloody murderers and monsters. In addition to the various prohibitions of Tianyun City, no one is willing to interact with the wilderness.
Lao Jing was a civilian in his early years. He was a very commercial-minded person because there were many ores, leather and other precious materials in the wilderness, which were all unparalleled. It would be profitable if these things could be collected and transported back to the Divine Realm for processing. Although the Divine Realm people did not allow them to easily enter the wilderness, they were not so strict in the edges.
Lao Jing founded the Thorn Flower Chamber of Commerce and became a marginal businessman. The marginal businessman was active in the buffer zone between the divine realm and the wilderness. He had complete relevant procedures and did not violate the Tianyun Code, but he was inevitably involved in dealing with the wilderness people. Therefore, the status of such people is not high. Lao Jing is already seventy years old, and he realized that it was time to find an opportunity to retreat and become a serious businessman as soon as possible.
"Hmm?" Lao Jing turned the black jade beads in his hand and suddenly stopped. When there was no familiar young figure on his left and right, he asked the captain of the guard and said, "Where has Xiaofeng gone?"
The captain of the guard replied, "He seemed to say he was going to explore the way."
"This child is playful again!" Lao Jing's face showed a loving expression. He had no children all his life. Xiao Feng was one of the orphans he adopted. Although he was an adopted son, he had a very high talent. Lao Jing was a marginal businessman despised by the people of Tianyun City for half his life. Whether he could shine his family in the future depends on this son. "The marginal land is not as good as the divine realm, and it has been even more uneasy recently. It is probably dangerous to run around alone. You can take a few people to find it."
The captain of the guard smiled bitterly and said, "President, you don't know that Young Master Feng is selected by the demon hunter. Although he has not become a demon hunter yet, he is already above us in terms of skills. Do you still need some of us to protect him?"
This made Lao Jing's wrinkles stretch out, and every ravine in it was filled with pride.
The demon hunter, such a glorious identity and so proudly, is that Lao Jing, a businessman who wanders in the gray area, has never had the qualifications to admire and worship when facing such a high-level existence. Now his adopted son has been tested for his talent in the demon hunter, and he is very likely to become a demon hunter in the future. Lao Jing can be considered dead in peace.
"Although Xiaofeng has a good talent, he has insufficient experience after all, so he should go and have a look."
Suddenly, a sound came from the front.
"Father, come quickly!"
A boy of seventeen or eighteen hurried over. He looked smart and clever, with a straight facial features and a very agile. His gray head was long and he tied a ponytail behind his head. He probably ran around outside all year round. His skin looked a little scarred by wind and sun, but it gave people a lively and healthy feeling.
The boy pointed to a stone not far away and saw two people behind the stone.
One man and one woman.
The woman looks about thirteen years old, wearing tattered clothes, undressed and very embarrassed, but her eyes are very clear, and she is looking at these people who suddenly appear with fear and panic.
The man wears a mask and cannot see his age clearly, but his figure seems to be relatively thin, so he doesn't feel old. However, he is lying on a stone at this moment, and he looks like he is already in a coma.
The little girl grabbed the dagger and gestured in panic: "Don't come here!"
The boy looked at the girl a few times. Although she looked embarrassed, she had pretty eyebrows and should have a pretty face. She couldn't help but feel a little fond of her heart: "Little girl, don't be afraid, we are not bad guys, this soldier brother seems to be injured."
This unconscious man was wearing Tianyun City soldier armor. Tianyun City soldier armor was a military-style equipment. The materials and production craftsmanship were unavailable to ordinary people. Therefore, only regular Tianyun City soldiers were qualified to wear it. If someone in the civilian attempted to imitate or steal, it would seriously violate the Tianyun Code and would be exiled in the most serious way.
Therefore, when I saw this thin man wearing a mask, the young Xiaofeng, Lao Jing and the captain of the guard thought that this man was a soldier in the Tianyun Divine Realm, but how could the soldiers appear here? The armor made of white jade like a work of art had long been covered with dirt and dust, which shows that he had been walking for at least ten or twenty days, and he definitely came from the direction of the wilderness.
The little girl's expressions and clothes don't look like people from the Tianyun Divine Realm.
Lao Jing and the captain of the guard carefully observed the person dressed by Tianyun soldiers. Although the person had been transported, he was still holding a Divine Realm-style soldier weapon. Several marks of wear and damage appeared on the surface. Could it be that a soldier who was injured in the mission and escaped from the wilderness?
Lao Jing gave a look at the guard captain: "Let the doctor come and see."
The young man Xiaofeng walked directly towards the little girl. The little girl waved the dagger in panic. When the dagger came, the young man Xiaofeng gently clamped and pulled the dagger, and he grabbed it. He put the dagger in his hand and danced a fancy sword floral, and then said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
The little girl was pulled aside.
She looked at the divine realm people trembling all over, pale and pitiful.
At this time, the doctor from the Thorn Flower Caravan appeared. She was a slender woman. She opened the mask of a man who couldn't stand up. No one expected that the hole under the mask was younger than Xiao Feng, and she looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.
How could this guy be so young?
Is he a soldier in Tianyun City?
The doctor examined Yunying's body and turned around and said to others: "It's not a serious problem, it's just a long time of thirst, dehydration and coma. However, this guy's identity is very suspicious. I think we should not worry about this other people's business."
"Since you have met, you have to figure it out. Maybe you can make a good relationship." Lao Jing turned the black jade bracelet in his hand, and raised his hand and ordered his left and right: "Please carry him into the car first."
The little girl in the wilderness looked at the people in the divine realm in front of her with a panic look on her face. Although she was very scared, she still followed her. In fact, it was not difficult to see the people in the Thorn Flower Caravan, including Lao Jing, who was kind.
This is a very normal phenomenon. The wilderness and the divine realm are different worlds. In the eyes of the divine realm, wilderness people are purely synonymous with dirty and evil. Even marginal merchants have no good feelings for everything in the wilderness.
An exception to one person.
The young man Xiaofeng seemed to have no worries. He walked over and the little girl approached him: "What's your name?"
The little girl was very alert and stared at the person in front of her with her eyes, so she was so scared that she dared not speak.
"Don't be nervous." Xiao Feng saw that the little girl's mouth was cracked and blisters grew. This was obviously a symptom of dehydration. He took off the water bag from his waist and gave it to her, "Are you thirsty? Drink a sip of water first."
The little girl was very afraid of the Divine Realm people, but she was a child after all, and she was so thirsty that she couldn't resist the temptation to take the water bag. She immediately opened it and gudonggudong started drinking.
Xiaofeng smiled: "Can you tell me now?"
The little girl didn't dare to drink too much, she hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Asha."
The young man Xiaofeng nodded: "Good name, who gave you the name?"
This sentence aroused Asha's sad past. She seemed to have seen the adoptive father who was careless but actually kind and pious in his heart, and his ulterior mob being beaten, tortured and burned and hung by a wilderness mob.
Xiaofeng seemed to see the little girl's sadness, and he immediately opened the question and asked: "Is that unconscious soldier your friend? What is his name?"
Asa was young and ignorant but not stupid. She knew that these people would save people, and she simply mistakenly regarded him as a soldier. Of course, she would not deny her identity. She just said: "He said that his name is Yunying, and he is a good person!"
This sentence was heard by the others in the caravan.
Yunying? This name is a bit strange, but it looks like a name used by a wilderness.
"Xiaofeng! Come here!"
Lao Jing seemed to express dissatisfaction with the adopted son being too close to the wilderness girl. After all, Xiao Feng will become a demon hunter in the future. How can the noble demon hunter come into contact with the lowly wilderness man?
Xiaofeng shrugged helplessly and had to go over.
Lao Jing, Xiao Feng, female doctor, guard captain, and the four began to discuss.
The female doctor did not agree with keeping the person. She spoke first and said, "We have fed him water. His body should not be seriously injured. But he cannot confirm his identity yet. If his identity is fake, it may cause us trouble."
Lao Jing nodded: "What do you think?"
The captain of the guard expressed his opinion: "I think it's better to have less than more things. Besides, each of us has a fixed portion of food and water. If we bring one more person, we may consume a little more. If we delay the trip due to accidents, it may affect us."
"With that being said, everyone has been saved, so we can't throw it back and ignore it." The young man Xiaofeng said, "We are only two days away from Shazhou Camp. I think we will take him for the time being. When he wakes up and verify his identity, if he is really a soldier, we can make a great contribution when we save him. If he is a deserter and a traitor, we can make a contribution when we escort him back. Even if we save the wrong person, at most, we can throw it in Shazhou Camp in front."
Everyone looked at each other a few times.
It makes sense, just do it!
The caravan started to move forward again, but this time it just started every few minutes.
The roar of thunder appeared from all directions. It was a rapid and dense sound of hundreds of iron hooves stepping on the ground at the same time, and the people in the Thorn Flower Caravan all showed horror. They only knew what this meant.
"No, it's a group of reckless men!"
Someone shouted in horror.
Chapter completed!
