Hunger is like a poisonous snake that can't drive away, biting Xiaojin's body tightly, and injecting the deadly venom into the child's body little by little.

No matter how great it is, without the support of food, the final result is probably the only way to death.

Need food...

Anyway, there is an urgent need for food now.

The original expectation has now been greatly delayed. With such a slow pace, the original one-week journey may have been extended by another day or two. Even if you don’t say it, everyone knows that now is not the time to hesitate...

Sha la la la...

The bearded businessman grabbed a handful of sand and let it go.

The obese man watched the gravel slip from his fingers, dry and without any dampness.

What is this man with black pupils thinking?

Maybe……

Wow

Xiaojin, who was walking in silence, heard a soft noise behind him, and turned his head back tiredly. But after turning around, the scene that entered his eyes made his pupils that were close to absent-minded again condense.

Bearded businessman holding a knife in the hand.

That is the most common utility knife. But now, taking out this kind of knife at this time has undoubtedly made the situation here even more unpredictable.

"What do you want to do?"

Xiaojin mentioned God and took the blind girl back two steps.

"Hey, hey, I... I don't want to do anything."

The bearded businessman touched the beard on his face, and did not know whether he smiled or not, so he coughed twice.

"What don't you want to do? What are you doing with a knife?"

His throat was thirsty, and his words seemed to be on fire. Every time you say a word, your chapped lips will feel pain.

The beard coughed twice again, and those black eyes glanced at Xiao Jin with some kindness, and the blind **** Xiao Jin's back.

"Hey, little dd. I... don't know what you think now. But... if this continues, all of us will die here, right?"

The bearded businessman fumbled for the knife in his hand, and the light gleaming in the black pupils was really chilling.

"Ah... so what?"

"So, we should work together and do everything possible to return to the wind and sand alive. Not because of the benevolence of one or two women and being here... swallowed by these deserts, right?"

"what do you want to say in the end"

"Ahem...I mean...that is to say..."

The bearded businessman shook the knife in his hand and took a step towards Xiaojin.

"Maybe, we need to make a little sacrifice. Give up some unnecessary things. For example, some sympathy and compassion that are not needed at this time, and..."

"human nature."

The bearded businessman's movements suddenly picked up. He howled loudly and rushed towards Xiaojin.

Where can Xiaojin, who is already so tired, resist an offensive like this? What's more, there is a person on his back? His footsteps reluctantly moved aside, avoiding the direct knife. But obviously, his purpose is not Xiaojin, but the blind **** his back

"come"

Brandishing a knife, the bearded businessman grabbed the blind woman on Xiao Jin's back. His face became distorted and looked extremely abnormal. After tearing off the girl, he even directly raised the knife and pointed it at the girl’s heart, just like that.

"stop"

Although his body was broken and hungry, seeing that the blind woman was about to die, Xiaojin did his best for the first time, drew out the saber on his waist and swept the bearded businessman’s arm with the sword blade. , The fat man with no martial arts yelled, released the blind girl in his hand, took the knife, and stepped back two steps.

"What the **** are you... what are you doing? We have no food anyway. Anyway, this woman is also to be sentenced to death after the wind blows the sand, or she is thrown into a prison and will never see the sun. It is no different from death. What's wrong with killing her now? Her death now can be our motivation to keep going"

Xiao Jin stood up with difficulty holding his sword. He staggered to the blind girl who was already panicked and flicked with both swords. Facing the twisted shout of the bearded businessman over there, he just took a deep breath...

"I... won't abandon humanity..."

"Perhaps before, I didn't live like a person... But now... I already know... I want to live as a person forever..."

"I said...I won't abandon anyone here...As a leader, it may be necessary to abandon it at certain times, but at certain times...some things are absolutely impossible to abandon."

"Please...trust me...I will let us all live...please believe...trust me..."

The bearded businessman did not heed the boy's ideas. His teeth rattled, and the hand holding the short knife trembles from tension. He waved the blade, and the light under the night sky pierced the air, making people look at it, and couldn't help but frighten.

"I won't believe you. You're just a child, what do you know? If... If you still refuse to let go... Then I will kill you together... With the meat of both of you, absolutely Enough for me and my people to return to Fengchuansha. This is an emergency evacuation. I will not have any psychological pressure at all. If... this is your choice, then there is no room for negotiation between us."

The other people next to him were already shivering with fright and curled up beside the three camels. Xiao Jin still stood in front of the blind woman, panting, swallowing the air that had no moisture, and holding the hilt tightly with his rough hands. Seeing him panting like this, the bearded businessman over there paused for a moment...

Finally, he jumped up again with the sword in his hand and pierced his chest without hesitation.

Xiao Jin closed his eyes and kept himself quiet...

At the moment when the blade was about to reach his body, he opened his eyes suddenly. The eyes that had been confused because of thirst at this moment gathered like tigers. His swords immediately raised and cut directly to the shoulders of the bearded businessman.

The bearded businessman didn't know martial arts at all, so naturally he didn't know how to dodge such an attack. Seeing the opponent's long sword stabbed, this person stopped for a while, and a color of horror appeared on his face. But Xiao Jin, who looked at him, woke up at the moment his face appeared.

He is also an ordinary person... he is also a civilian whom I promise to escort

At the moment of the moment, the sword in his hand turned over. It was no longer the blade, but the blade that struck him on the shoulder. However, what does such a slap mean for these two ordinary long swords that have been weathered and unmaintained at all?

Pala pala

The sword shattered on the shoulder of the bearded businessman.

The two long swords have been mottled, and now they are finally broken in two, and can no longer be used as "swords".

Xiaojin looked at the falling half of the sword and stopped for a while. But the bearded businessman over there slammed fiercely after a brief shock, raised the knife in his hand again, and stabbed towards Xiaojin.

"You... too underestimate me"

Seeing that the other party didn't accept that he didn't cut off his arms, Xiao Jin finally got down and gritted his teeth. He turned around and forced the blade away, lifted his foot directly, and kicked the bearded businessman in the abdomen. The bearded businessman whimpered, the knife in his hand fell, and he knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach. Xiaojin also took advantage of the situation and took his hair and pressed him to the ground, with the broken sword in his hand directly against his throat.

The winner has been divided.

The slightly rising dust seemed to have announced the end of the duel. The next step is the "trial".

The bearded businessman gritted his teeth, his face pressed against the cold sand. He felt the cold blade from his neck and said bitterly--

"It turns out...that's your purpose, you hypocritical fellow...you must want to kill me right now, right? Because I did something inhumane first...so you killed me logically. , And then wear your righteous mask, rely on my flesh to live, and live back to the wind and sand, right"

Xiao Jin panted, those eyes that looked like tigers, now disappeared with the bursts of breathing, and reverted to the tranquility that a ten-year-old child should have.

"…………………………I will not kill anyone..."

Xiao Jin slowly let go of his hand and moved away from the businessman's back. He picked up the dagger and stuck it in his waist, slowly saying--

"I will protect all of you...I will let you return to the wind and blowing sand smoothly, and I assure you that any one...including your goods, your family, everyone... will be able to go smoothly. Go home. Everyone... can be saved..."

The bearded businessman felt the body leaving on his back, he raised his head tremblingly, turned around, and looked at the already weak child.

"You...what are you going to do? Uuuu...we...we are just...uuuuu..."

The bearded businessman began to cry. The big man was sitting on the ground now, like a child who could do nothing, and began to cry.

There are ways, after all.

Although Xiaojin didn't want to use this method much, but now, he doesn't care about it anymore.

Xiaojin took out a small piece of hyena feces from his rucksack. These things had a strong smell. Once burned, it can produce very strong smoke. The smoke is very useful as a survival signal in the desert.

However, the consequences of burning these feces are probably also...

——Within three months, if you can’t bring me harm in the official battle, then I will kill you——V
