The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Pan Panchu was flustered in the wind on one side: the two heroes were fighting each other...the lead (fire) was actually...a copper coin that they have always regarded as dung...this, this, if it spreads to the Jianghu, black and white will definitely be thunderous Pour a slice...

"Cough, cough." She hastily coughed a few times and interrupted the two, "Ten taels of gold, this amount is really a bit of a lion's mouth." After a short pause, he continued with a slight smile, "You two brothers don't need to be so anxious. For the rest, I have a way to make up."

After saying that, he pulled out a necklace from his neck, carefully took off the life-threatening glazed bead, threw the chain on the table with his hands, and said bravely like cutting flesh: "Two, two, three, take it and use it!"

"How can this make..." Bai Yutang held the gold chain in his hand, and suddenly found that every link on it was engraved with a very small "Ding" character, hesitating in his heart, he glanced at the faces of the two heroes.

"Why not?" Ding Zhaohui pulled the chain with his hands, put it together with a pile of gold and silver on the table, wrapped it in a cloth handkerchief, and handed it to the old man surnamed Xiao: "But enough?"

"That's enough!" Leader Xiao responded simply, took the package, and his expression eased a lot. He introduced himself: "Old man Xiao Tatu." He pointed to his son beside him, "My son Xiao Guagua." Look again Xiang Shuangxia and his party asked, "What do you call them?"

"My surname is Ding, and my sister-in-law's surname is Bai." Shuangxia looked back at Pan Pan who was holding the child, and said softly, "My sister has a disease in both eyes, and I hope Chief Xiao can take care of her."

"That's natural." Xiao Tatu nodded and said, "The old man will prepare a camel with good legs and a gentle temperament for her as a mount."

"That's enough work." The two heroes thanked each other with clasped fists, and then asked, "When does Chief Xiao plan to leave?"

Xiao Tatu waved his hand, and replied: "Just wait for everyone to pack up and pack up, and leave immediately!"

It is near midsummer, and walking in the desert must be day and night.One is because the sun is scorching hot in the daytime, and the sandy land has no shelter, the heat is far beyond human's tolerability; and the temperature difference here is huge, but it is cool and pleasant at night, with the bright moon in the sky and the twinkling stars, it is difficult to discern the direction. On the contrary, Tianming is more favorable.

Xiao Tatu's camel caravan was quite large, with more than [-] horses tied end to end, winding for half a mile, taking advantage of the dark night to step out of the boundary of Yongzhou, and slowly march towards the vast sand sea.Xiao Guagua and another Khitan man rode in the first two horses, each holding a camel bell and antlers, acting as leaders; the two knights rode three horses in the middle; Xiao Tatuyin was the leader, and everyone was given drinking water by him according to the rules The distribution, therefore, was adjourned by a camel loaded with water storage.In addition, there are more than a dozen porters accompanying them, guarding the goods and distributing them in other parts of the camel caravan.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, mixed with fine sand, which penetrated through the gaps in the turban, and the shaved cheeks were astringent and painful.The camel under the seat also seemed to be irritable, and it was not as smooth as before.Pan Pan subconsciously hugged the hump tightly, thinking in his heart that something unexpected had happened, when suddenly the long sound of antlers sounded in his ears, the camel stopped and knelt down, almost throwing her to the ground.

The wind sounded like a gust of wind, and more sand grains rushed towards my face.Pan Pan tried his best to sit up straight, and intermittently heard someone yelling something in Khitan dialect in front of him, but he couldn't understand it.Just feeling at a loss, a dry and warm palm covered the back of her hand, followed by some force, and hugged her whole body down.

"This..." Pan Pan was eager to ask, but under the gust of wind, her mouth was filled with yellow sand as soon as she opened her mouth, and just as she was about to spit it out, just now that hand covered her mouth with a facecloth to stop her. Then she took two steps back and squatted next to the camel.

"Don't move." Ding Zhaohui hugged her and whispered, "It's a sandstorm."

"Bah, bah." Pan Pan struggled to spit out the sand in her mouth, and she also knew how powerful it was, so she shrank back into Ding Er's arms tactfully, and obediently stopped moving.

The overwhelming wind and sand seemed to sweep everything, roaring from all directions.The grains of sand were like rain, falling continuously, gradually covering more than half of Pan Pan's legs, unable to move even a little bit.

Is this going to be buried alive?I don't know what happened to Bai Wu and Lie Er at this meeting... She was extremely terrified in her heart and couldn't help shivering.

There was a sudden tightening on his back, and Ding Zhaohui stretched out his long arms, holding her in front of him. "Hmm." Pan Pan bumped his head and snorted lightly, but did not push back.At that time, the world was chaotic, only this side's chest still gave her warmth, listening to the clear and powerful heartbeat, slowly, the originally chaotic thoughts also calmed down.

After lying still for an unknown period of time, the wind seemed to have weakened.Just a moment ago, his arms were firmly encircling her, but they were loosened in an instant.Pan Pan was about to get up and sit up, but Ding Zhaohui couldn't wait, put his hands on his shoulders, and pushed her away from his arms.

There was a rustling sound, and the person beside him had already stood up.Pan Pan was stunned for a moment, and a little self-deprecating came up in his heart: Panda, panda, no one in this world has to be nice to you... Don't treat yourself as a national treasure... Then he took a deep breath and moved forward. He held out a hand and said, "The leg is buried in the sand, please give it a hand."

Ding Zhaohui didn't want to give this little face, so he just threw the camel's lead rope into her hand, said "Go on", and then jumped to another place.

Even in the sandstorm, Pan Pan still had a little lust for Ding Er's embrace, but now it has disappeared.The literary and artistic feelings just now have mutated into a grassroots warning: men are reliable, sows can climb trees... Realizing this, Pan Pan was relieved, tightened the rein and wrapped it around his wrist twice, and pulled hard , the camel that was kneeling first shook its body and stood up, taking her out of the sand.

Sha Nei had been buried for a long time, and her legs were so numb that she couldn't stand still. Pan Pan turned her ankle with her teeth bared. Suddenly, someone grabbed her arm sideways and asked eagerly, "Where did you get hurt?"

She heard Bai Yutang's voice, and she felt emotional about the reunion after the catastrophe, and couldn't help being surprised: "I'm fine. How are you?"

Bai Yutang heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "Don't worry, Lie'er is well."

Pan Pan grabbed back, grabbed Bai Wu's sleeve and asked, "What about Brother Bai?"

Bai Yutang smiled and said angrily: "You are so skinny, you treat other people as paper." He handed Lie'er into her arms, and then ordered, "Just hold the child for a while. I will Let's go with Brother Ding to see Chief Xiao, if there is any need for help."

Pan Pan nodded in agreement.Just because she was blind, she didn't know that after the sandstorm, the huge camel caravan was another scene.Almost all of them were buried in the sand. Because of the situation, some of them were buried shallow and could still climb out by themselves; those who were unlucky only had their heads and hands exposed, and they had to rely on the help of their companions to escape. .Ding Zhaohui and Bai Yutang joined hands to rush towards the end of the team, digging out several porters from the sand like pulling carrots.When I saw Xiao Tatu, he was just carried out from the sand nest by several people, his beard and hair were yellow, his thick eyebrows were also covered with flying sand, he angrily threw off the support of others, and was sitting on the ground, spitting Curse.

The two heroes stepped forward quickly, and asked each other, "How is Chief Xiao?"

Xiao Tutu squinted at him, and muttered in response: "Too bad luck!" After saying that, he stood up quickly, lowered his head to brush off the sand on his clothes, and suddenly found that many subordinates surrounded him, all of them said nothing. Standing there in a daze, he suddenly lost his temper, stamped his feet and shouted, "What are you still doing? Unload the cargo and set up camp!"

With a sound of "coaxing", everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Ding Zhaohui held back his smile and asked again: "Chief Xiao, the two of us can still serve. If there is a need, just say hello."

Xiao Tatu blushed, and thanked him with cupped fists: "Since that's the case, then I need your help to make a delivery."

The camels carrying the cargo were already carrying a heavy load, but this time they were hit by a sandstorm and were unable to move.For fear of hurting the camels, although everyone carried close-up weapons, they only dared to dig with their hands honestly.Thinking that this job was too boring, after digging for a while, a young-looking porter couldn't hold back anymore, and took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Shuang Xia and the others: "Hey, let me tell you, you can go all the way up the mountain. If you don’t pick a good time, you want to catch this kind of ghost weather.”

Ding Zhaohui lifted up a wooden box together with him, and immediately responded: "We know little about the sandy land, and we travel together in a hurry, so I don't care much." Putting down the box, he said casually, "It's so heavy. These Is the goods going to be sent to Muye Mountain? My little brother has had a hard time eating."

That young porter liked his words and deeds considerately, so he couldn't help but start talking and complaining: "That's right. These are all the utensils used for sacrifices in Nanmiao. They are made of copper and cast iron. Can they not be heavy? It all depends on us carrying them up the mountain one by one. This time, even if the cock crows and the ghosts crow, it won’t last three to five days. Is there any way to fix it? If you can’t endure hardships, you can’t live. My family used to raise horses for a living, and the border was tight. The government issued a note and forcibly confiscated the horses. After a few tosses, each time they never returned, it’s not as easy as working hard.”

The two heroes thought deeply after hearing the words: the two countries are fighting, and the people suffer after all... Recalling the mind of Yelu Ashin, I sincerely admire it.It's no wonder that some people are willing to lose a pair of eyes. If it's me, even if I lose my life for such a person, what's the problem?

"You pay such a high price, what is the purpose of going to Muye Mountain?" The young porter asked curiously.

"The purpose of coming here this time is to look for an old friend." Ding Zhaohui took advantage of the situation to inquire about him, "My brother often goes to the mountain, did you know that there is a person named Yelu Awa among the women practicing here?"

"Practicing woman?!" The young porter stared at him with a look of hell, "Aren't you going to the North Temple of Houshan?!"

"This..." Ding Zhaohui asked suspiciously, "What is the South Temple and the North Temple?"
