Chapter 381 Broken Finger

"Dear stoneman, please forgive me, I can't meet all your requirements. Food is very necessary for my team, but I can provide you with some water. You may not know that this place is hard. Every time I cross the desert, I have to pass through here, so I know how to get some water here. Method. When I found you, there was no shortage of food around you. You can keep it with you. It should be enough to support you for quite a long time. Mandes replied.

Water, water is enough. Shishou began to be glad that he did not throw away other food angrily when he threw away the dried meat. In fact, he almost did it at that time. After all, he could reduce a lot of burdens, but reason still organized his behavior, because in his fantasy, wild water should also exist in the desert. . I didn't expect that he was really right.

"Dear Mandes, water is enough. I really want to learn how to get water from you. After all, I still have to travel in the desert..." Shishou made the next request.

"This can't be done, noble stone hand, even if you are the messenger of God, everyone needs to keep his secret. It's like I don't understand why you have a useless stone on your body. I won't ask you, because I know that even if you ask, you won't tell me. However, I can assure you that your water bag will be filled with water, and I will also send you two more water bags, but if it is too heavy, I'm afraid it will affect your trip. Although Mendes's words are blunt, they can hit the point.

"Thank you very much." Shishou did not make any other requests, because Mandes's answer had made him unable to say anything else and only accept his proposal. The slave trader in this state is not as indepretentible as he seems, and there is a delicate heart hidden under his seemingly rude appearance. Think about it, if not, how can he still be alive after decades of business?

"In addition, don't leave tonight. It's not too late to stay here for a night and embark on the journey tomorrow. I can give you an empty room. The hard work of sleeping in the desert is more profound than you do. Being able to sleep well is a great weakening for this pain." Mandes smiled and showed his snow-white teeth.

Shishou stayed according to his arrangement. He lived in a house next to him that was not very large, which was enough to make Shishou ecstatic. Although it was still daytime, he was really too tired. As soon as he was full, he was tired and attacked him unstoppably. Shishou just remembered that his head had just touched the pillow and then fell asleep.

With a stable and dreamless sleep, Shishou woke up the urine. He hurriedly got up from ** and rushed out of the house to look for a hut. At this moment, it is the stars all over the sky. As expected, the red ghost is still hanging high in the sky, and the stone hand also judges the position of the east with the red ghost. He suddenly understood why there was no red ghost in the desert, because the red ghost could indicate the direction, and travelers in the desert would not get lost. Perhaps it was the desert that was afraid of this desphemy behavior that covered the light of the red ghost on the soft sand.

I don't know if this is the case on the sea. Shishou thought that the sea is also a place that needs direction, but it is not a good place.

Shishou did not find the hut and felt that he was in a hurry to pee, so he turned around the room and became convenient in the corner. Since the right hand was petrified, it was simple and convenient, but it became difficult. Several times when he accidentally touched the job with his stone hand, he grinned with pain. With so many examples of pain, even if he just woke up this time, he knew how to act carefully with his left hand.

When it was about to finish, he heard a slight metal collision, which made Shishou excited. He quickly put on his trousers and followed the sound to the open space where he had fainted before. Two children, wearing simple leather armor and holding a cold shining sword, were fighting.

At the beginning, Shishou thought that this was just the usual play, but after looking at it for a while, he found that it was not like that. The two children made vicious and deadly moves, and did not let go at all. In addition, the sword used was not the wooden sword used by the Central Plains warriors, which made Shishou worry.

The two children's body is as fast as an ape, which is indeed a rare martial artist material. Seeing this, the stone hand is even more unable to understand. If they continue to fight like this, they are undoubtedly likely to hurt both sides. This kind of internal consumption is also a great loss for Mandes.

Sure enough, just as Shishou thought about this, the situation on the field changed. One of the children had the upper hand between moves. The sword walked lightly and cut off half of the other child's little finger. Blood splashed out, and Shishou couldn't help exclaiming.

The fight between the two children stopped, and the broken finger was picked up by the winner, while the loser bandaged his own wound, and the fight was over. Those children don't know Chinese, and stone hands can't communicate with them, but think that Mandes uses this method to integrate bloodthirsty and aggressiveness into the souls of those children. Without a finger, he can be an outstanding warrior like a finger, and the lesson of broken fingers should make him stronger.

From this perspective, Mandes is a very good trainer, which seems to be more skilled than his skilled slave trade.

Shishou listened for a while, and there was no longer the sound of sword dance in the whole camp. He looked up at the light of the red ghost. The red light gave him a feeling of home. After thinking about it, there was nothing else to do at midnight. Now it's too early to leave. In addition, he still said goodbye to Mandes in the morning. Don't let this state People think that people in the Central Plains don't know etiquette. After wandering for a while, the sleepiness rolled up again. The comfortable bed is too great for the ** power of the stone hand. You know, in the New Year's town, the stone hand only got a stable and some straw and slept so sweetly.

Thinking of the New Year's Town, Shishou began to be busy. He knew that if he thought about it like this, he could not sleep all night, so he hurried back to the room, closed his eyes and lay down. There were a few blinking blanks in my mind in an instant, and in such a short time, Shishou fell asleep.

The second sleep is not as quiet as the first time. Shishou feels hot around him and sweats, but he doesn't want to wake up, because even if it is wiped clean now, it will come out tomorrow. There will be no place in the desert for him to bathe and change clothes, so he will simply break the jar.

However, Shishou suddenly thought of a question. From the daytime, there are probably dozens of children, but there are only a few houses. Mandes lives in one room and Shishou lives in one room. How can other children sleep? They didn't sleep in the open air. Can't they stack arhats in the room? Also, when the two children were fighting just now, why didn't other children watch? This seems too illogical. In the so-called duel, there must be witnesses. Shishou didn't like this kind of suspicious sleep, which always reminded him of the New Year's town. He forced himself to stop such thoughts, but this thought became more and more thick and full of his dreams.

Until he woke up.

The familiar sand, the familiar movements, the stone hand is half buried in the sand. His position is the shadow of a sand dune, and his right index finger still points to the distance when he wakes up. This time, the stone hand remembered the direction before breaking free from the sand.

Stones, silver, food, water bags are all there, and even the free water bags mentioned by Mendes are placed next to the stone hand. As last time, those houses, Mandes, and those slaves, children and warriors, disappeared into the long yellow sand.

What other options does Shishou have? He can only continue on his way. He had too many doubts in his heart, which slowed down his march. Fortunately, in this mood, coupled with the fact that he had eaten and drank enough before, the consumption of food and water decreased a lot.

The first skeleton sign he met was still a man. The man's bones were very wide and different from the previous one, which made the stone hand feel that maybe the business group of the group of men had been used up, and now it was another group of people who made the road sign. Such a broad skeleton does not look like a Central Plainsman, but a Fanban like Mandes. That said, there must be more than one person like Mandes. He himself said that his companions had been swallowed up by the desert. Maybe this was one of his companions. Thinking of the favor that Mendes gave to the stone hand, the stone hand buried the skeleton particularly grandly and continued to move forward.

There is something wrong with the next journey. Every skeleton road sign he encountered could be clearly seen as a child. At first, he thought it was like men, women and children when he first entered the desert, but he never waited for other skeletons except children. This made Shi Shou's scalp a little cold. Combined with what had happened before, he slowly generated a frightening inference in his mind.

This inference became a reality on the morning of the third day. As usual, the stone hand rested on the shade of the sand dunes, and his waist and eyes were stabbed like before. When he dug up the sand, he was stunned. This is a child's skeleton, but... the right hand of this skeleton has no little finger.

Look carefully at the incision, there are still traces of being cut off by the sword.

This is the same position as the loser in the children's duel seen that night. Is this really a coincidence?
