After eating, the two returned to the room a little drunk. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As soon as the door was closed, the leader immediately came to his senses, he pulled up Mo Mujie, and said, "Wait, you tell everyone in the caravan to be careful. ā
Mo Mujie was a little drunk, but in the words of the leader, he immediately woke up, he shook his head, and after driving away the drunkenness, he immediately asked, "Head, do you think there is a problem here?" ā
The leader nodded, and he whispered: "I just took a closer look below, and the people below don't look like merchants, and the skin on their palms is very rough, and they often carry weapons at first glance, I'm afraid they are bandits." ā
Brigand! Mo Mujie was shocked, how could there be bandits in the oasis, in the desert, didn't the bandits have a consensus with the merchants, and the bandits would not enter the oasis unless they replenished the substance.
"Are they here to hydrate and get food?" Mo Mujie asked.
The leader said, 'I don't know, but it's better to be careful.' After a while, you tell everyone to be careful, don't sleep so heavily tonight, even if it's tomorrow. ā
Mo Mujie nodded, he carefully looked outside, and after making sure that there was no one, he slowly pushed open the door and began to walk towards the rooms of the other teammates.
After being reminded of the rooms, he returned to his room, nodded to the leader, and whispered, "It's all noticed, I've told them to be careful and safe." ā
When the leader heard Mo Mujie's words, he was slightly relieved, as long as he was fully prepared, he was still not afraid of a few bandits.
At night, the leader looked out the window with anxiety all night, always feeling that the night would change, but this may be because his nerves were too nervous, and in the second half of the night, he fell asleep unconsciously.
This can't blame the leader for being nervous, when he was eating in the afternoon, among the few people he saw, he still remembered that one of them was a bandit hundreds of miles away from here, and now that they came here, something must have happened, otherwise they don't need to come here at all, let alone any hydration and food, this place is hundreds of miles away from their cottage, how much water and food can you bring back here?
But the night was peaceful, so that the leader was reassured, it seems that he was too worried, or the thief just saw himself wrong, he got up, and went to the restaurant below to have lunch, there is no breakfast in the desert, only two meals, lunch and dinner, that is based on the intention of saving, the water you use three times a day is completely different from the water you use twice a day. This principle has been passed down from generation to generation, and now even the people of Oasis observe it.
As the leader ate his breakfast, he looked around and saw that the people he had seen yesterday had disappeared, maybe he was gone, he thought.
At this time, Mo Mujie also cleaned up and walked down the stairs, and as he came down, the people of his caravan also came down one after another.
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper greeted everyone and brought up all the food, the food in the desert is very simple, either barley or meat, and the meat can last much longer than the rest of the fruits and vegetables.
Now, everyone looked at one big piece of meat after another, they immediately ate it, and after the leader also took a piece and took a bite, he frowned slightly, this meat is very strange, I don't know if it is beef or mutton, it is a little sour.
"Shopkeeper, your meat seems to have changed its taste." The leader asked.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Guest officer, no, this meat has not changed its taste, this is our newly developed stew." ā
He looked at the table, patted himself on the head, and said, 'I'm sorry, officer, I forgot to season it for you, this meat needs to be seasoned to be delicious.' ā
After speaking, he immediately asked the shopkeeper to take out the seasoning, and the leader tried the meat after sticking to the seasoning, and found that it was really delicious, so the sour taste seemed to be converted into another taste, which made people very comfortable.
"It's delicious, it's much better than just now, your seasoning is really good, can you sell it?" The leader looked at the seasoning, and he immediately thought of a business opportunity and asked.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "This is made of our unique materials here, although the amount is a lot, but it is not convenient to store, this is not easy to sell." ā
Hearing that it was inconvenient to store, the leader immediately dispelled the idea of buying, in the desert, the most important thing is convenient storage, and a thing that is inconvenient to store will make people very troublesome.
After lunch, the leader began to secretly photograph the day's work, although it was said that today was repairing, but there were still some things that had to be done, such as replenishing the water, buying enough food, and selling some of the things he had brought from the Rakshasa country, and then replenishing the things that were unique to the place, and then it was time to have fun.
Silk merchants are like this, bringing things from foreign countries to another country, and then bringing things from another country to farther countries, one country after another, and finally to Chang'an, and then bringing all the things from Chang'an back to the Western Regions, as long as they finish their trip safely, they don't need to go out for several years.
After the leader made arrangements, he walked in the oasis with the rubbing wood, this oasis is the first oasis in the desert of the Xiliang Woman's Country, more than a hundred miles away from the Xiliang Women's Country, so the water source here is still very abundant. It's not like other oases in the middle of the desert, which can disappear at any moment.
But, there are too few people here, is there something wrong with the Xiliang Women's Country? Let the caravans not take this route? Although it is said that there is only one road on the Silk Road, but the Silk Road is surrounded by countries, and merchants will choose the most profitable road according to their own intelligence, and now that the number of people here has decreased, is there something happening on the side of Xiliang Women's Country? The leader decided to take a look.
If something really happened in the Xiliang Women's Country some time ago, and now it has calmed down, your caravan can choose where to go, and many things in the Rakshasa Country can also be sold at a high price in the Xiliang Women's Country, but there were too many people going to where before, but the profits have decreased, so I don't go, and now. If the place really calms down, then you can go and see for yourself, then you don't need to risk crossing the desert, who wants to cross the desert.
Under the leader's inquiry, he finally got a relatively complete information, the Xieyang Mountain before the Xiliang Women's Country entered the desert, where was a group of bandits waiting some time ago, and those bandits were still murderous bandits, so the people who got the news some time ago didn't come here, but a few days ago, the Xiliang Women's Country sent troops to eliminate those bandits, but now the caravan has not recovered.
The leader knows the reason, it is because the merchants here have not yet gone to the next oasis or country, and the news of being quelled has not yet been known to others, so no one comes, isn't this his chance? The leader thought immediately.
