Chapter 267 - Bandits (1/2)

Battlefield.

The gunpowder smoke curled over with deafening gongs and resounding arms.

The sky was covered by thick smoke, deathly-sullen like the scene before the storm.

However, for some reason, the deafening sounds gradually weakened and turned into painful howls.

Being attacked front and rear, they were unable to resist. Desperately, what they could do was only watching their comrades being killed one by one.

Xiao Baoshan also got stabbed.

He woke up, and then he was soaked with cold sweat.

It was in the middle of the night. After Xiao Baoshan woke up, he just sat on the bed in trance with some scenes on the battlefield popping up in his mind now and then.

That was him. He was sure it was him. It was his real experience. In that incident, almost everyone died. He survived, and then he was turned into a traitor. Then…

Then, he lived with a girl.

It was little Ye.

However, he only remembered that.

He would rather forget.

Why did G.o.d let him pick up the most painful part?

He couldn’t sleep anymore. He only held the green lace and waited for the day.

……

Tianshan tribe.

Ye Xiaoxian was living as usual.

However, these few days, she felt her heart sink.

A month ago, Xiao Baoshan often followed her to help her. She prepared the meals and he carried water. She marinated beef and he helped her carry baskets.

He would also do some simple carpentry work in front of her, making simple stools and tables.

Even though she ignored him, she would always be able to see him as long as she turned aside.

Now that she couldn’t see him, she suddenly didn’t get used to it.

She was still thinking about whether he had a different heart with his team at this time. Could it be that he had no patience and didn’t want to be by her side?

Could he have thought of Jing Xiaoyu halfway and wanted to find her?

It wasn’t until she had no intention of overhearing the conversation between Li Hongmei and w.a.n.g Mudan that she realized that Li Hongmei had deliberately let him go out and said that she would miss him after a long separation.

After Ye Xiaoxian knew the reason, she got a mixed feeling.

She had to admit that what Li Hongmei had done would work to some degree. Because now Xiao Baoshan wasn’t around, she suddenly felt a little unaccustomed.

She ignored him before, but that didn’t mean she didn’t want to see him. In short, she felt that it was very contradictory.

Ye Xiaoxian was a bit absent-minded. She was cutting beef at this time so she accidentally cut herself.

“Gos.h.!.+”

She put down the knife and clenched her fingers.

Blood came out.

She suddenly panicked.

Apart from the year when she first became a cook, she would occasionally cut her hands off, but in the past few years, she had never done that again. She was a Five Star Chef yet cut herself. It would be strange if she didn’t get laughed at.

She could even cut tofu into flowers with her eyes closed, not to mention cutting beef that didn’t need special skills at all.

Therefore, she had an unknown sense of fear.

Then she thought of Xiao Baoshan. Was it dangerous for him to leave?

……

Today was the third day when the caravan drove on the desert.

It had already gone deep into the desert.

What came into eyes was endless sand.

Xiao Baoshan still walked behind.

There was no bowl when he came, but now there was a bowl. He could eat with the guy, but because of Tarico’s rejection, he was more neglected now than when he came.

w.a.n.g Wen and w.a.n.g Wu wanted to talk to Tarico, but they were stopped by Xiao Baoshan himself.

There was no need to talk with them because of this small matter. If everyone didn’t like him, then naturally there was a reason for not liking him. So it was unnecessary to force to get along well deliberately.

However, today’s desert seemed to have hidden risks.

The wind wasn’t strong and it was very hot. The place where they rested was a sand dune zone, which categorized to the Yardang landform. The field of view was not wide, and this kind of place often had bandits lurking inside.

When the caravan pa.s.sed by here, they would pa.s.s quickly and try not to stay here. However, for some reason, Tarico insisted on resting here, saying that this place was cool.

Besides, they had traveled so many times, and they had never met any bandits. They had even beaten wolves. What were they afraid of?

The young fellows of the tribe naturally listened to Tarico, and as long as Tarico let them rest, they just rested.

Xiao Baoshan also didn’t say anything. He was quite ignored by them, so just listening to the arrangement was fine.

Those people sat down and set up the cooking bench. They took out the water from the bucket and poured it into the pot.

Then the next step was to make the fire and make the soup.

This group of people was not frugal. As long as they had some money on their hands, they would buy things in Beihui city City and they would also make merry in joyhouses. When they were waiting for water to boil, they were discussing which beautiful girls were in the house and also which restaurant’s the food was delicious.

Tarico also went with them.

He had been single for so many years. The first time he came to the joyhouse, there were girls who served him, but when he came back, he found it uninteresting.
