Chapter 40: Miss Loulan
We left the white dragon pile that glowed with a brilliant silver light, and the camels roamed away, and the sun in the sky scorched all the moisture in our bodies. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the evening, the sunset is thousands of miles, crimson, covered with yellow gravel, like a delicate and amorous girl.
The old ancestor climbed a Yadan and shouted to us, "Water! There are traces ahead!" Hearing this, I raised my eyes tiredly, and my silent and dry heart was like a rain.
We saw a small city, which was in fact just seven or eight rammed earth houses, on a terrace, surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by reeds and red willows, a string of small marshes delicate and lovely, white water birds passing by the calm water, and the crimson clouds and mottled gold edges reflected on the water, looking like a beautiful tapestry.
"Water, water!" Wang Bajian shouted excitedly, leading the camel and falling to his knees, feeling a sense of relief that the long-distance run was approaching the end.
Baocai muttered to himself, "No...... It's not going to be a mirage, is it?"
I stared blankly at the scene in front of me and said, "I don't know...... It could be ......"
"Jingle Bell...... ......The melodious camel bells on the ancient road broke the doubts in our hearts and brought us a fresh breath.
"We really found water...... Over here...... This is ......" I couldn't hide my excitement when I heard the camel bell, and I felt like crying, and in this environment, seeing such a place was like going to heaven on earth, and I couldn't even blink my eyes.
The library master looked at the front end and said: "The front is a post station built in the Western Han Dynasty, which was originally the residence of the post history, and now it is a resting place for business travelers. ”
When I heard this, I was moved to tears at the thought of not having to spend the night in the bone-chilling desert.
I asked him what was wrong, and he said, "Let's ask for money at the post station, we don't have any money on us, so many people, this is ...... It's shy in your pocket......"
As soon as I heard this, my heart "chuckled", got off the camel, and said in a low voice: "Ancient people should be more proud, you see the knights in "Water Margin", as well as the knights in martial arts novels, which one does not regard money as dung, this Eastern Han Dynasty, heroes and heroes also produced a lot, so they don't reject people thousands of miles away for a little money, right?"
Bao Cai muttered: "Son, what you said is all novels, novels are all lies, and we are not in the Central Plains, but in the inaccessible Western Regions, how can there be a chivalrous plot......!" If we don't do this, we can give it up, the treasurer is a businessman, let him pay out of his own pocket, You Chi, the eight lambs of the king, just live with the camel, let's no matter what, we have to separate from them, so as not to suffer from the plot. ”
Just when I bit my ears, the ancestor had already walked forward happily, the little Taoist priest followed, the two of them really shook their hands, and they didn't worry about the problem of living in the store, but the treasurer looked back at us at this time, and said to us: "You will take care of you along the way, and the problem of the post station will be handed over to me......
Hearing this, I was shocked, and Baocai looked at the back of the treasurer faintly, and said, "Damn, did he hear us?"
At this time, Wang Bajian led the camel past us, patted us on the shoulder, sighed, and said, "I also heard ......."
Baocai looked at me in disbelief and said, "Damn, Gongzi, the ancients were all freaks, right, there is a megaphone in this ear?"
I sighed, got on my camel, and headed for the small town, which was small, but there were many business trips, and it was enough to have a sense of popularity.
Because the treasurer invited guests, I and the two big nannies of Baocai did not hesitate to find the largest post station, and there was a wooden pole with some age atmosphere erected on the high platform outside the post station, and the red flag fluttering on the pole had a bird-like pattern on it.
I didn't pay much attention to it, we were greeted by a middle-aged man with a high nose and deep eyes, with a thick beard on his face, who was the current operator of the inn. He couldn't help frowning a little when he saw us in the dust, big bags and small bags, and a few injured people, and asked in non-standard Chinese: "What did you encounter, why did you look like this?"
Seeing that he was slightly suspicious, the little Taoist priest said lightly: "The sand and dust are chaotic, and we are lucky to survive......"
When the thick-bearded man heard this, Rin said, "Is there a ghost in the sand?"
The little Taoist priest nodded, and the man greeted us into the post station, and said, "Those who can survive there are all great heroes, my name is Turan...... Please ...... inside" He half-bowed, and when he saw You Chi on the back of the old ancestor, his face changed slightly, and then said, "He has a sword wound in his chest?"
Turan was very suspicious, and I perfunctorily said to him: "We met a thief on the way, you know that in the desert, those who run out of food and water are easy to be robbed. ”
Turan nodded suspiciously, and then said, "You wait......" he said, turning to the back room, and shouted in the local language, "Lisanna." ”
The guests who were sitting and drinking on woolen blankets became agitated at the sound of these three words, and they exchanged their heads and looked at each other with a kind of anticipation.
A few Han-looking businessmen said excitedly: "The rumored saint, it is said that she looks like a fairy......" said with a salivating expression.
Another middle-aged man with a fat head and broad ears said lightly: "It is said that whoever lifts the veil of Lishana will get her." ”
I listened to their gradually dirty words, and I couldn't help but look at them with contempt, and when Baocai approached me, I couldn't get used to it, and said, "Son, you look at these people like perverts, as if they have never seen a woman. ”
As I was talking, I saw a pair of slender fingers prying the beaded curtain hanging in front of the door, I didn't care, but when the woman named Lishana slowly came out, all the men present stared with bated breath, even the ancestor who seemed to have no feeling for women, couldn't help but take a few more looks.
The woman was dressed in a water-colored gown, and her long hair reached to her waist, like linen satin, smooth and shiny. I secretly took a breath, this girl is brilliant, her skin is snowy, like a holy Tianshan Snow Lotus, her eyes are bright and smart, her eyelashes are long and curly, her head and face are wrapped in a scarf, I can't see all her faces, I secretly sighed: "This place is very close to Yanze, isn't this girl from Loulan?" When it comes to Loulan people, I always think of Loulan rich in beauties.
She slowly came to Turan's side, and was greeted by a comfortable aroma, Baocai and Wang Bajian were completely stunned, although they couldn't see her face, but they could imagine from the outline behind her face scarf, she should be a beautiful woman.
She looked at us a little shyly, at this time, we were unkempt, our faces were full of dust, our beards were sloppy, and the part of our faces that was exposed was probably the poison of the curse that was spreading, and it was estimated that this girl would have to lose her appetite if she saw it.
"Ahem......" Turan coughed a few times, breaking the silence, and I suddenly woke up from my gaffe.
Turan introduced us: "This is Lisanna, my baby daughter...... She knows a little bit about medicine, and she is called a saint here, and I see that this little brother is seriously injured, so let Lishana show him......"
Lishana looked at You Chi, her eyebrows tightened slightly, this delicate and slightly sad appearance was pitiful, Wang Bajian and Baocai heard that they could let this saint see a doctor, the monkey jumped up, and Baocai excitedly said: "Girl, we ...... We've got wounds too, you see!" he said, turning his back without hesitation, and eagerly showed the wound on his shoulder to Lisanna.
Lisana bit her lip, not knowing how to respond, she looked at Turan helplessly, Turan relieved: "Save the most injured brother first, I see that the flesh in his chest is turned out, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid it will rot......"
The little Taoist priest was the most indifferent of us, he saw us enter the magic barrier, passed by us, said to Turan, "Excuse me...... "Excuse me," said him, walked forward, remembered something, turned back and said, "Where is our resting place?"
When Turan heard this, he hurriedly called a fellow to take us to the resting place, and he and Lisana took Yuchi to another room to treat his wounds.
"This is a wound and there is a special treatment, to be able to enter the master's house, it's really ...... My injury is not light......" Baocai muttered, and reluctantly went upstairs.
We asked for a total of three rooms, and the treasurer went back to his room early to rest, and our group of partners were all in the little Taoist's house. Wang Bajian and Baocai paced back and forth, unable to sit still, and finally the two of them found a similar excuse and slipped out, without thinking about it, they knew that they were going to find Lisanna, but it didn't take long for them to droop their shoulders and return disappointed, seeing that it was the face of the saint and not wanting to see it.
The old ancestor sat in front of the table, holding his cheeks, and said bitterly: "Alas, there is no injury on the body, the saint can't see it, forget it, don't want to, go take a happy bath......" Saying, he jumped from the window without hesitation, the post station also has two floors, this has a way not to go, you have to learn the thief, I sighed, just when I was speechless, another figure followed, I and Baocai, Wang Bajian looked at the disappeared little Taoist priest in a daze, and suddenly wanted to cry.
Bao Cai said: "This ...... What are these two people doing? Do you have to take a bath in pairs??Do you want to take a mandarin duck bath?" (To be continued.) )
