Desert market, a bazaar that exists in the desert. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is not easy for mobile merchants to gather together, and it is even more rare for merchants from foreign countries to get together, and this is still the case in the Central Plains, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the resources are abundant, not to mention the desert where the wind and sand hide their faces are extremely dangerous?

Therefore, although the time of the start of Moshi is fixed on the last day of the month, there are more than 20 at most each time on the border of Zhongmiao and foreign countries, and it is convenient to come and go with one or two camels. A rag was tore at random on the ground, and a small platform was erected, which was a larger mud yellow tent.

There are no 100,000 households, and the city's Zhuji household Ying Luoqi is naturally gone, and the only fixed residence in the market is also rebuilt from the abandoned carriage and horse post station in Miaojiang, and the place is also large, and there is also tea to provide. But it must be used only by the very few brigades of chariots and horses stopping along the way, and the rest of the time no one goes, and even if they go, they only rest.

After all, in a place with a large square inch, there are not many people who can live, and it can't hide the wind and sand, so naturally there is no attraction from the pearl of the sand sea, not to mention that there are sometimes fierce and vicious sand coles.

Kou is a bandit, and what he does is nothing more than writing some work like falling grass and sounding horses. Imagine who wants to work hard to send the goods thousands of miles away, and not even a copper plate has been fished, but even the pants that have been robbed are gone?

But these few pieces of sand are different from the others, rarely hurt people's lives, and almost disappear in March, June, and September every year. Therefore, the merchants gathered at this time are the most, and the time is a little longer, ranging from six or seven days, and occasionally there are some strange goods that make people smack.

It's just that this businessman is more expensive, and the price will naturally rise, and it will be better when there are more people, and it will double when there are fewer people. And those big caravans that only come two or three times a year are even more cheap, no matter how many people there are, they are higher than the market price, and they have nothing to fear.

However, if the seller agrees, bartering is not unavoidable.

It's the end of September, and it's a good time to catch up, but if you miss this time, you can only wait another half a year to have such an opportunity.

Jingri Guming also got up early in the morning this day, changed into a white desert suit, the wide silk robe was the coolest, the wind blew in from the neckline and sleeves, and the sweat and moisture on the body could be swept away with a splash up and down. Shi Yanwen is also like him, even the hood on his clothes to hide from the wind and sand has not changed, but the clothes are more breathable than those of Jing Ri Lonely Ming.

Who made Jingri Guming's body be "weaker".

Jingri Guming hung four gold rings on his right hand, removed the accessories on his forehead, and brought a scimitar - just prepared. He followed the path to the pavilion, where Ruri had already prepared a sheepskin water bladder and a money bag, but it didn't look like anyone else.

"What about Shi Yanwen?" Jingri Guming hung up the water bladder and money bag, "I'm entangled by a girl again?" ”

"Engong got up early and went out to watch the camels with the girl," Liuli thought for a moment and added in confusion, "He said that he was waiting for his master in 'Caoqi'." ”

"Cao Qi ......" Jingri Guming smiled in his eyes, as if admiring and helpless, "Ha, only him and the girl?" ”

"I also sent a few people to follow, but Engong seems to be aware of it."

He could naturally detect it, and Jing Ri walked out, "It's okay, Ben didn't follow him, he must understand, let's go." ”

"Yes."

There is a white horse outside the temple, the reins and saddles are all packed, Jingri Guming only glanced at it and didn't care, the horse has slender limbs and light legs and hooves, which is very suitable for girls.

"He chose it for you." Jingri Guming looked at the sky, the white clouds were long, the wind passed without a trace, it was a good day to travel, "The girl didn't grab it?" ”

Ruri was touching her mane, and she was slightly stunned when she heard this, "This horse is too honest, she doesn't like it." "Originally, she wanted to give it to her.

Jing Ri Guming was wearing thin boots, and his voice on the ground was very soft, and it was convenient to walk in the desert, and it was not real when there was an occasional pause, and there was no reaction when he heard the reply, only his cheekbones moved, and he seemed to sigh silently, "When was this horse chosen?" ”

"At the end of the day, before dawn, I took Engong to the bottom of the mountain."

According to more than an hour now, people don't know where they have gone, Liuli was silent for a while, and his face hesitated: "Master......"

"Let's go," Jingri Guming turned to the other side, and raised his hand to signal that she didn't need to follow, "If you don't catch up, the girl will really be gone, and we will only come back in three days, and when we go out, I will inform the rest of the people that they can make their own arrangements in the next few days, and there is no need to stick to this place." ”

"Yes."

Liuli pursed her lips, jumped on the horse, stepped on the horse and whipped the force is not light, Jingri Guming turned her head sideways to look at the girl who was far away, twenty-eight years old, her body is vigorous, and her sassy and heroic posture has not lost the woman who has stepped on the rivers and lakes for many years.

The sound of hooves faded away, and Jing Ri looked at it for a while, then turned to leave.

……

Shi Yanwen saw the two crooked-necked aspen trees again, one on the left and the other on the right, leaning against each other, only half of the branches that were once straight and straight, but now the crooked branches were eroded by the wind and sand, and the proud bones and lonely roots also showed the state of the wind and candles, and the decay was terrible, and when they got closer, they could see the artificial breaks on the trees.

The legendary aspen can not rot for 3,000 years after falling, and I don't know when the dead and remnant wood in reality will disappear.

Shi Yanwen sat down against the remnants of the wood, and the two camels were tied not far away, with the precious red fox fur between the humps, snorting proudly, the camel bells ringing, and lazily standing still—just like his master.

Jingri Lonely's Sui Hu had already left with the girl, they went in the opposite direction, a small village with many people on the border, and they didn't need camels, and in a day or two, they had already set off, and they also brought a carriage to pull goods.

Interestingly, before leaving, the girl gave him a small bag, saying that it was a deworming pill stolen from Liuli, they should stay in the oasis these days, there are often some poisonous insects crawling around in the desert, if you are bitten by ticks and other insects, you can kill people in a few hours.

This girl doesn't know if she's really stupid or stupid, how can the glass thing be so easy to steal.

Shi Yanwen raised his hand and put it behind his head, his eyes fell on the curved dead branches, his long hair was hidden in the windbreaker, and if the hood was covered, except for the slightly shorter hair around his neck, only half of his face would be exposed.

Ah, forgot, there's also the waist side - the vacancy of the crescent, just exposing the abs.

The desert style is unrestrained and mysterious, and Shi Junzi, who has always been well-dressed and dignified, is really a little difficult to adapt, although this is very breathable......

"Alas......"

With a deep sigh, Shi Yanwen reluctantly tightened his trench coat, and squinted his eyes but saw a tall man in the distance coming in the dust, the same dress on this person did not show the luxury and edge, the most prominent proof is the sometimes shiny bracelet on the wrist.

The man walked very calmly, completely ignoring the fiery fine sand in his eyes, stepping on the bluestone slab of the Zhengqi Villa, looking at him intently, his eyes were brighter and deeper by the sun. It looks heroic and upright, where is the usual weakness?

Although they got closer, Shi Yanwen still heard two masked coughs.

Shi Yanwen lowered her eyes uncomfortably, got up and led the camel, handed it to Jingri Guming and said, "Mr. Jingri is early." ”

"It's not early," Jingri Guming still looked at him, and while taking the camel, he untied the scimitar on his waist and handed it to Shi Yanwen, "The great Confucian heroes are famous, and most of the people who come and go in Moshi are also martial arts people, if you don't cover it up, I am afraid that it will not be peaceful these days." ”

As short as a dagger, the handle of the knife is inlaid with jade, and the blade is wrapped in the most ordinary leather, but it is no different other than that, but it is much lighter than an ordinary sword, Shi Yanwen looked at him hesitantly, "There are people here who know Yanwen?" ”

"So far, there hasn't, but this kind of gray area, Yanwen is new to it, and it's easy to become the target of people with bad intentions, so let's take it with self-defense."

Shi Yanwen frowned, and wanted to hand the scimitar back, "In this way, this knife is more suitable for Mr. to carry." ”

"Actually, I wanted to bring it, but," Jing Ri smiled alone, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, "With the great gentleman by his side, is there still a chance to make a move?" ”

"......" understood.

Shi Yanwen blinked, no wonder there was no guard left today.

But he still felt that he had to admonish, after all, the world was not afraid of 10,000, only in case.

"Yanwen will do his best, but the wise man still has a mistake, not to mention Yanwen Yijie Wufu-"

Jingri Guming didn't wait for him to finish, he took two steps forward and put the knife on his waist for him, impartially stuck on the ring on the inside of the crescent moon, and didn't care about the man's slightly surprised eyes, "Alas, why should Yanwen be humble, if the former leader of the Central Plains was just a martial artist, how could Miao Jiang lose his troops and even the god of war was rebelled back home?" Let's talk ...... again."

Shi Yanwen smiled and took a step back, only to realize that the distance between them seemed to be too close, "What do you say?" ”

"Besides," Jingri Guming pressed down the camel, turned over and stepped up, grabbed the camel saddle, and chuckled: "The fortune of the next heaven will not be worse than the previous Mo family, right?" So saying, he departed towards the desert with the sound of camel bells.

Shi Yanwen was stunned and sighed again, he really didn't know where Jingri Guming got his confidence. He got on the camel and put his hand on the hump - anyway, the camel would automatically follow the one in front of him, and came to Jingri Guming's side unhurriedly, "Since you are a seclusion, Mr. must have a pseudonym, right?" ”

Jingri Guming turned his head, looked at his lake-blue eyes and thought for a while, "Moshi is still two hours away from here, and it's a long way, Yanwen might as well guess it, just kill the time." ”

"Won't you give me a hint, sir?" He has no head and no tail, where did he guess?

"I've already given it."

Shi Yanwen subconsciously looked down at the scimitar on his waist, very usual, and was puzzled, when he suddenly heard a chuckle from the left. Shi Yanwen stiffened slightly, and when he looked up, sure enough, the man looked at him with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, and there was some expectation, "How?" Can you guess it? ”

Shi Yanwen felt that the temperature in the desert was not ordinarily high, otherwise he felt that his face was hot after he left, "Yanwen really can't guess." ”

"Then don't guess yet, you'll naturally know then," Jingri Guming thought about it and retracted his eyes, and then suggested for a long time, "It's better for Yanwen to pick one for himself first." ”

This has been prepared for a long time, Shi Yanwen looked at the boundless desert, and he also used a pseudonym on the way to Miaojiang, although it was not very useful when he met some people, "Mr. can call me Yanyun." ”

"It's a person who is not shocked by people's humiliation, let the clouds roll in the sky, and Yanwen is so old-fashioned and hot." Jing Ri muttered alone, deliberately lowered his voice with a gentle smile, fluttering like a feather sweeping over his heart, "This name suits you very well, Shi Yanyun ......"

Yanyun, that scenery is also very beautiful.

What does it feel like to be gently swept by a feather?

Shi Yanwen involuntarily pinched her clothes and changed the topic, "Why did Mr. let me hide my hair?" ”

Jing Ri raised his eyebrows, "Actually, you can cover your face." ”

Shi Yanwen thinks that she still looks like she has seen the past, "Why? ”

"Well...... Just be on the safe side. ”

“？”

"Look at the killing of Wei Jue."

“……”

Rao is Shi Yanwen has been working hard for many years, and he has accumulated a calmness beyond ordinary people, which is also a little embarrassing, not to mention that he is not a god Gu Wenhuang who can answer everything fluently.

So if he understands correctly, he's, being molested?

“…… What a humorous gentleman. ”

"False praise."

“……”

Day and night through the desert, clouds and moons, black wind and sand.

Walking in the desert should be before the sun sets and the temperature drops extremely.

However, he chose the hour when the sun was in full bloom, and it was said that the night was too cold, and he seemed to enjoy the scorching sun, which was very slow. Shi Yanwen worriedly reminded him several times, and Jingri Guming said that his body was different from ordinary people, and he liked the light and was so warm, so Shi Yanwen couldn't say anything anymore.

A wise man who can survive in the shadow of the sword and sword can't really be sunburned to death because of "sickness and weakness".

But the speed was too slow, so slow that even the camels were a little impatient, perhaps because the sunlight was too dazzling, and both camels could not help but let go of their breath. The camel's head is small and the neck is long, and when it walks, its neck stretches and shrinks like a big white goose, and when it is rough, it can't help but raise its head high, and the ups and downs are so big that Shi Yanwen has to hold on to the camel saddle.

At the same time, I also have to sigh that I am indeed very patient.

The wind and sand whistled by, blowing up the wide cloak, Shi Yanwen reached out and pressed the hood, subconsciously squinted his eyes and looked ahead, Jingri Guming's figure did not move, as if he was riding a camel as an ascetic living Buddha, slightly tilting his head to meet the invasion of the wind and sand, and the hood was blown off by the wind and did not care, with a shallow smile on his face.

Shi Yanwen looked down at the ground again, the camel footprints in front of him were not deep or shallow and connected into a straight line, the front was vast, and the back was also flat sand, they walked for more than an hour, but the direction of this line has not changed. He looked back, and there was another straight line next to the straight line, which was left by the camel under Shi Yanwen's seat, the two straight lines either coincided or were far away, messy, but not lonely.

But this straight line stretches for no more than ten meters, and there is no trace of it any farther, and the strange road says that it is difficult to turn back from the desert, and the sand of this ghost desert seems to flow faster than the sand in other places.

Now that there is no way to come from, turning back makes people even more uneasy.

Suddenly, the breeze stopped slightly, Shi Yanwen knew that this was a bigger wind and sand coming, Shi Yanwen was about to pull the hood down to cover his eyes, raised his hand but fell again, grabbed the camel saddle a little harder, and urged the camel to take a few steps forward.

Jingri Guming likes the scorching feeling of the sun, and also likes the feeling of wind and sand, even if the skin is sometimes scratched by the fine sand, it doesn't matter, such a slight stinging is much more comfortable than ignorance.

As a result, the journey of two hours would be dragged into four hours by him, and although his subordinates felt that it was inappropriate, no one dared to disturb him. So when Shi Yanwen suddenly put on a hat for him, Jingri Guming couldn't react for a while, and the surprise in his eyes was naked in front of Shi Yanwen's eyes.

“…… Thank you."

Shi Yanwen turned his head to look to the side and lightly hammered his shoulder, "It's just a gesture, the desert is windy, and Mr. should be careful." ”

The disguised gesture is similar to the meaning of his light cough.

Jing Ri Guming's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said with a smile: "But it's neglected, I think it's a habit to be pampered on weekdays, and these days, it's troublesome...... The hot clouds are more than shrouded. ”

Shi Yanwen turned his head, his blue eyes stared at him without blinking, and Jingri Guming could still clearly see his shadow from those eyes, not contaminated with a trace of dust, very clean.

"But is it okay to go on like this?"

"What?"

"Time," Shi Yanwen said, "in two hours it will be the time when the sun sets, and if it continues like this, will it still be able to catch up with the market?" ”

"Well," Jingri Guming narrowed his eyes, and he took a moment: "It seems that I can't catch up." ”

Shi Yanwen's eyelids jumped.

“…… Mr. ”

"And it's also in a different direction."

"Sir?"

"So we're not going to Moshi today."

"......" Shi Yanwen looked at the eyes that seemed to be smiling and speechless for a while, "Mr. didn't plan to go to Moshi today." ”

"Eh, Yan Yun's tone doesn't look like a question."

“……”

Kindness......

Although the younger brother's straightforward nature is sometimes difficult, it seems that he still misses it at the moment.

Shi Yanwen's face did not change slightly and frowned, "Then where are we going now?" ”

"Half Moon Bay, let's rest for one night."
