"Qiao Guo, you bastard, where did you go? Come back here!"

In front of the dilapidated tent, a woman with a thick waist and a strong body was holding a few picks of weeds for making fires in her hands. She narrowed her small eyes carefully, showing some worry.

Seeing that she couldn't find her naughty son, the woman returned to the tent nagging her.

When Qiao Guo saw her mother's figure disappear, she quickly patted her chest with her little hands and muttered: It's such a close call.

Holding the little skin in his arms, Qiao Guo ran all the way south on his short legs.[

Qiao Guo's father was seriously ill, and he heard from the old doctor in the town that he had to buy pills made from the venom from the tail needles of sand scorpions to cure the disease.

Qiao Guo's mother-in-law traveled dozens of miles to the big market to inquire about it. One pill of that medicine costs fifty.

Qiao Guo's mother rummaged through all the cloth bags to buy one. The medicine was effective. Qiao Guo's father felt much better after taking it once.

I was able to get out of bed. Unfortunately, eating it once didn't help, and it happened again the next day. This time Qiao Guo's mother couldn't get fifty copper coins even if she went through the bag again.

Qiao Guo was filial, and he didn't want to see his mother in trouble, and he didn't want to see his father in pain. He thought that he would use the poison on the scorpion tails anyway, so he might as well catch a few of them and show them to the old doctor.

Although a small town like Yijue is built in the desert, it is a hard sandy land with a relatively good environment. Sand blowing weather is not common, and there are few strange things in the desert.

The sand scorpion is a unique animal in the hinterland of the desert. Qiao Guo's mother-in-law usually doesn't allow him to run into the hinterland. Recently, she has even warned him and guarded him closely.

Qiao Guo used his two small arms to wrap the skin bag around it. The skin bag contained several kinds of local medicine to attract sand scorpions, as well as catching tools. It was a bit heavy for a nine-year-old child.

When he looked back, he could no longer see the tent group, which meant that Qiao Guo had run some distance away.

Looking left and right, everywhere is a dull khaki color, with monotonous grains of sand everywhere, and occasionally a few clumps of rock grass.

Qiao Guo was actually very scared.

He especially remembered what his mother-in-law said to him every day: "Guozi, there was a sand ghost in the desert some time ago, and many people were buried! You must never run around like before.

Qiao Guo shivered and hugged the little skin bag tightly.

After walking a few dozen steps, it is said that this is the place where sand ghosts are encountered. I secretly went out with the uncle in town to catch sand scorpions in the past. There are the most sand scorpions there, and they are big. I believe the tails are also very poisonous. It is best for dad to use...

…

Should I go or not...

Little Qiao Guo squatted on the ground with a face of pain, confused.

"Child."

The sudden sound from behind frightened Qiao Guo, and he loosened his grip. "Bang," the skin bag fell to the ground.

"Who! Is it a human or a ghost!" [

Yelling loudly to encourage him, Qiao Guo turned around and was stunned.

This big brother is so beautiful!

Rong Yi's expression remained unchanged, he stretched out his hand, placed a silver ingot in the shape of an ingot on the palm of his hand, and said: "My child, do something for me, and this silver will be yours."

Qiao Guo's eyes shone as she nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother, just say it!" After saying that, she puffed up her chest.

"Take me to the specific location where the subsidence occurred more than ten days ago."

"Subterranean subsidence?" Qiao Guo blinked in confusion, then suddenly realized: "Brother, you are talking about sand ghosts, right?"
