When Li shepherd opened his eyes, his first reaction was that he was still alive.

He thought he was dead.

Falling from such a high place, the roaring wind seems to have lasted for centuries. The word "broken bones" is the most true portrayal of yourself.

"Cui, be careful?" Li shepherd suddenly got up and looked around with his eyes.

I didn't see Cui carefully, but I saw a large desolate Gobi.

The red rock and soil is like the sunset glow in the sky. It is empty and barren, but it makes people have a kind of soul shaking sadness.

The body kept shaking, and the ass was bumped up from time to time and then fell quickly.

People hissed and the wheels rolled.

Li shepherd found himself lying on the goods of a carriage, and the convoy composed of dozens of carts spread into a long snake formation.

In a daze, Li shepherd couldn't react to what had happened for a while.

Aren't you climbing the mountain? Didn't you fall off the mountain? Why are you in the Gobi again?

Dreamland and reality constantly crisscross. Li shepherd has a feeling of nervous disorder.

No wonder XingKong college can become the most mysterious college in China. It's too difficult to be admitted to the hospital, isn't it? This is to play with schizophrenia.

"Young man, are you awake?" A strong man came over and grinned at him.

Chinese characters speak with a strong Guanzhong provincial accent, which is very different from the soft language of Wu pus in Jiangnan, but it is easy to understand.

He was dressed in light armor and hung a big blue knife around his waist. His eyes are divine and he looks extraordinary.

"Why am I here? Where is this? " Li shepherd asked anxiously.

"This is the red devil valley." The man said with a smile. He pointed to the strange red sand dunes in the distance and said, "look at those hillsides. Do they look like red demons?"

"Like." Li shepherd nodded. He doesn't care what those red sand dunes are like. He cares more about why he is here“ How did I get to the red devil Valley? "

"We saved you." The stout man smiled brightly and said“ You lay unconscious on the roadside, and we saved you. "

"Did you go to Huayu plain?"

"Flower language plain? That's not true. We dare not go to such a place. We saw you in the mangrove - "said the stout man with a smile.

Li shepherd feels like he wants to die.

Where are mangroves? How many days does it take him to walk back to nameless mountain? Will you encounter countless attacks and assassinations along the way like last time? Li shepherd has a feeling of physical detachment.

"Why is my life so hard?"

"I have another companion - did you find a girl when you found me? A beautiful girl. " Li shepherd asked hurriedly.

"No." The stout man shook his head and said“ We only found you, not a beautiful girl. "

Li shepherd sighed again. He felt that he was insane now.

He was afraid that he would not have the chance to enter XingKong college. Instead, he first entered the neurological hospital specially used to treat all kinds of mental diseases committed by the Empire.

"I haven't asked your name yet ----"

"I dare not." The strong man laughed and said, "my name is Gan Yang. I'm the head of Wanli escort agency in Guanzhong province. I'll take my brother to deliver the goods."

Li shepherd looked at the long front of the car and asked, "brother Gan, where are the goods going to be delivered?"

"Send it to Shimen Town, and then unload it there. Someone will pick it up." Gan Yang also confessed and directly said the destination of their trip.

"Shimen town -" Li shepherd whispered the name, his mouth full of bitterness. This is another name and address he is not familiar with. He wants to go to Huayu plain, he wants to go to nameless mountain, and he wants to enter XingKong College -- can he catch up with the team in the year of the monkey?

"Brother Gan, I want to know how far it is to Huayu plain from here? How many days will it take? "

"What?" Gan Yang was shocked and said, "little brother, don't blame my brother for not reminding you that Huayu plain is one of the top ten fierce places in China and is rarely visited. It's creepy to hear that. You want to go to that place? "

"I don't have to go -- just ask." Li Shepherd said perfunctorily. He doesn't want to explain anything. That won't help. It will only make the kind-hearted people worry about themselves.

Gan Yang was still worried and said, "little brother, I know you are young and brave, but some things are better not to try easily. If you live well, why take your life to play? "

Pointing to the men in black guarding both sides of the convoy, he said: "our brothers in the escort agency are most afraid of becoming popular in the magic valley. Why? Because you are likely to meet sand bandits. Those sand bandits are ferocious. They not only rob goods, but also kill people. I don't know how many goods are robbed by them every year and how many escorts are killed --- but can you not come? Everyone has a large family to support. If they don't come, what will the wife and children eat? What to wear? "

"They are tying their heads to their belts to earn money to support their families. You are good and live well, but you have to go to Huayu plain to find your own way to die -- we are lucky to meet. If I save you from the mangrove forest, you owe me a favor. Don't let you return anything else, just live well. Live long and long. Promise your brother that we won't go to Huayu plain, okay? "

"I --" Li shepherd looked at his honest and sincere expression, implied worried eyes, nodded heavily and said, "OK, I promise you --"

He still wants to go to Huayu plain, but he will protect himself. Let yourself live well and live a long and long life.

"Good brother." Gan Yang slapped Li shepherd on the shoulder. His big slap almost scattered Li shepherd's skeleton.

Li shepherd grinned with pain and giggled.

Gan Yang beat a horse and walked beside Li shepherd. He asked, "what's your name, little brother?"

"My name is Li shepherd."

"Shepherd Li? Shepherd, good name. Our escort agency also has horses and dogs -- they can help us take care of the scattered horses. " Gan Yang said with a smile.

Hearing the laughter here, several young escorts also gathered around and joked with them.

One of them, Gan Liang, was about the same age as Li shepherd, but proudly said that he had been away for three years. In other words, when Li shepherd was still studying at school, he had traveled around with these strong men to eat sand and meet the hot sun to earn food for his family.

Gan Liang's face is black and red, but he has the pure black eyes of young talents.

He was very fond of Li shepherd and kept asking him some questions.

Li shepherd told him that at his age, it should be time to study. How did he come out to be an escort?

Gan Liang said he had no chance to study in his life, but he would save a lot of money for his son to study - if he could marry a housewife.

After he knew that Li shepherd's home was in Jiangnan City, he said with longing: "my father has been to Jiangnan City. He said it was the richest and most beautiful city in the Empire ----- one day I will go to Jiangnan City and escort a long escort team."

Hearing Gan Liang's words, Gan Yang's face was a little sad.

When Gan Liang went out to shout for horses, Gan Quan whispered to Li shepherd and said, "Gan Liang's father is also the escort of our escort agency. He was killed by bandits on the way of escort ----- he walked to the red devil valley. There is a rule in our escort industry, that is, when the father dies, the son will replace him. When I die, the son will continue to escort. When Gan Liang was only a little tall, he had already been escorting with us - - no way. My mother was ill and had two bowls of medicine a day. If she didn't come, there was no way to live. "

Li shepherd was very sad. Reached out and touched the gold coins in his arms, thinking of giving half of them to Gan liang when he left. In this way, he can reduce his burden of life. At least the money can be used to cure his mother. I went to XingKong college, and there shouldn't be much money to spend.

Just then, thick smoke rolled up right in front of me and hit here quickly.

"Not good." Gan Yang was shocked, looked at the direction of the thick smoke and shouted, "here comes the sand thief ----- big sand thief -----"

It's not smoke, it's the sand and soil that sand thieves bring up when they run.

"Sand thief -----"

"Here comes the sand thief --"

After listening to Gan Yang's warning, the caravan was busy immediately.

The motorcade at the front stopped, and the motorcade behind caught up and surrounded them into a small circle. The horse's head is toward the inside of the circle, and the goods are put on the outermost edge to stop the enemy's attack. Some stewards in the caravan were pale and trembling in the middle of the encirclement circle.

Gan Yang commanded dozens of escorts to form two rows, blocking the front of the convoy. Directly meet the sand robbers charging towards. Their movements were fast and smooth without any disorder. It seems that there is no less training.

The caravan came to them to protect the safety of goods and personnel. This is the time for them to work hard.

Gan Liang, who is thin, is also in the middle. He is like a chick surrounded by a group of hens.

Li shepherd's heart suddenly tightened and shouted, "Gan Liang ----"

Gan Liang turned around, and his thin face was full of perseverance and hatred.

He also looked nervous, and his hand holding the knife trembled slightly. But he still tried to smile and shouted at Li shepherd: "don't be afraid, we will protect you ----"
