Volume 2 Chapter 72: The wind and sand are long under the scorching sun
An hour later, the carriage stopped at a post station, and Yun Yao and Xuanyuan Wen got off the carriage and came to the post station to rest.
After getting off the carriage for a while, I felt that the weather was dry, as if I was very short of water, and I stretched out my hand and touched my face, which was dry and had some lines.
Not far ahead is an empty desert where there is nothing but wind and sand.
The post station reads: The foothold of the Western Frontier.
Seeing that a guest was coming, the second junior at the post station came to Yun Yao and Xuanyuan Wen and said, "Guest officer, what do you want to do?"
"Water is good. Yun Yao handed the silver to Xiao Er, and then found a place to sit down.
After Xiao Er received the money, he prepared a pot of tea and mentioned Yun Yao's location.
After Xiao Er put down the tea, he was about to leave when Yun Yao grabbed his hand and asked, "Xiao Er, how long will it take to get this desert?"
"This desert has a fluctuating climate, and if there is a storm, it can be reached in two days, as well as one day under normal circumstances. Xiao Er replied carefully.
Hearing the word storm, Yun Yao was stunned, "What, and the storm?"
"Girl, how can there be calm waves in the desert sandy land, except for the suffering of wind and sun, this climate is the greatest danger, but you are lucky today, the storm has just passed, so you should be able to arrive in one day. ”
After listening to what Xiao Er said, Yun Yao looked not far away, smiled and responded with a smile, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, everyone is a guest. Xiao Er also responded as if he was still polite.
After Xiao Er left, Xuanyuan Wen and Yun Yao glanced at each other, nodded, then dried up the bowl of water on the table, got up and walked into the carriage and began to move on.
After looking at the weather, it was not too late, and since the storm had passed, since it only took a day, it was better to leave early.
The coachman continued to drive forward with the reins on his hand, and when the carriage stepped into the windy sand, he clearly felt a burning sensation, although the carriage was still exposed to the sun through the curtains, and the dehydration was severe, and the lips and complexion were dry and cracked in less than an hour.
Fortunately, Long Yan prepared in advance, and the three of them, including the coachman, basically divided dry food and a few pots of water along the way.
From a distance, there are no trees, no houses, and no people on the high road ahead, only a horse-drawn carriage driving under the scorching sun, which can be described as a beautiful arc!
After a few hours, the burning sensation gradually disappeared, and the skin on the lips was no longer as dry as Fang Cai, and the dehydration was as severe as Fang Cai.
There was also the sound of the carriage moving, no longer the sound of the sand grinding to and fro, but the sound of ticking.
Yun Yao had fallen asleep in the carriage at this time, and with the sound of ticking, Yun Yao woke up instantly, sat up, stretched out ten fingers, opened the curtain and looked, only to see that it was no longer a desert with no people, but on the noisy and lively street.
Looking at the clothes of the people on the street, this must be the western frontier!
After lowering the curtain, he looked at Xuanyuan Wen and said, "We've arrived?"
"Well, here it is. Xuanyuan Wen responded indifferently.
Maybe Yun Yao didn't feel that the hours were long along the way, but always felt that it was fast, on the contrary, Xuanyuan Wen was no longer as good as he was at the beginning.
At this time, his complexion was a little dull and chapped!
Looking at him, the expression seemed to be in a trance.
"Garrison, garrison?" she shouted when she saw that his expression was not right.
The garrison was sitting next to the coachman outside, and when he heard Yun Yao's voice, he immediately opened the curtain, and saw Xuanyuan Wen's face ugly.
"Palace, what's wrong with Childe?"
"Pull over the carriage immediately and see if there are any inns around. ”
"Alright, alright, let's go. ”
After listening to Yun Yao's words, the guard immediately asked the coachman to pull over, and then went to the surrounding area to find the inn.
The carriage stopped, and without saying a word, she stretched out her hand and put it on Xuanyuan Wen's wrist to check the pulse.
I don't know if I don't see it, I was startled when I saw it, he was suffering from a burst of heat and cold, and he was sick from the cold.
Fang was fine, but now his forehead was covered with sweat, and his hands were cold.
But fortunately, Yun Yao brought the elixir of clearing heat and detoxifying, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket, opened the cap of the small porcelain bottle, poured out the elixir, and threw it into his mouth.
She was busy in the carriage, Xuanyuan Wen was vaguely able to see Yun Yao's side face at this time, looking at her so quietly as if all the bad things were about to disappear, and a faint smile appeared on her face.
Soon the garrison found the inn, which happened to be the Dragon Gate Inn.
The garrison and the coachman came to the carriage and carried Xuanyuan Wen into the inn wing with one hand.
The dragon eye of the inn's junior two also took a hand when he saw it.
The style of the installation in this inn is somewhat similar to the style in Zhuangzi, I don't know if it is a coincidence or the same owner.
Yun Yao stood at the door of the inn, looking around, and at this moment a young man came behind him.
"This guest officer, your room card. The young man's voice was delicate, and he handed the house number to Yun Yao.
She turned around, took the house number, saw the delicate face of the person in front of her, and smiled slightly: "Thank you!"
"Even the guests of my inn, you don't need to be polite, you should be. ”
"You are the owner of this inn?" It turned out that this delicate and handsome man was the owner of this inn, and he instantly exclaimed in confusion.
"Hahaha, I don't know why the girl is so surprised, yes, I am the owner of this inn. No matter what time it is, the smile on the young man's face is still smiling, which makes people look very comfortable.
Yun Yao was thinking in his mind at this time, could it be that the inn in Zhuangzi was also an industry under his name?!
The world is so big, it can't be such a coincidence!
She came back to her senses and responded to the young man: "Oh, I was thinking just now, the shopkeeper is young and promising, and he runs the inn so well. ”
The young man frowned slightly, and after hearing Yun Yao's words, he seemed to be very familiar, as if he had heard someone say it somewhere.
"Haha, the girl has won the award, you are the second person to praise me like this, since this is the case, I will cover today's meal. The young man smiled heartily and happily settled the eating of Yun Yao and the others.
Yun Yao was stunned, the shopkeeper looked young, but he was a person who liked to listen to compliments and good words, but he made this promise with a simple word.
It's too easy, isn't it?
Yun Yao shook her head: "Then thank you to the shopkeeper." ”
"You're welcome. ”
After Yun Yao finished speaking, she politely saluted the young man, and then walked up the steps to the second floor and returned to her room.
The young man clasped his chin in his hand and looked thoughtfully at Yun Yao's back.
Although she is just a stranger, how can you look at this girl, she has a temperament that is not found in ordinary girls, and it is not comparable to women in Western Xinjiang.
And her tone and way of speaking are so similar to his, is there any connection between the two!
