Silk Road 4
Although the leader of the caravan had brought it up alone, he had to get everyone's consent to change the route, and in the evening, he gathered everyone together and told him what he had found. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After a night of discussion, they decided that they wanted to change their route, and that they had to rest here for another day, and that they were going to dispose of all the useless things in exchange for more money to buy items in the Xiliang Women's Country.
The next day, while they were working on something, someone came up to them, looked at them, and asked curiously, "Why, you don't go into the desert?" ”
The leader looked at the man and found that the man was the innkeeper, and he smiled: "Yes, we are going to Xiliang Women's Country now." ”
"Oh" The shopkeeper turned and left, and the leader looked at the shopkeeper, and he seemed to feel a little strange, as if the shopkeeper had changed.
After the shopkeeper returned to the inn, he found the shopkeeper and said, "Inform them that the sheep will not enter the sheepfold." ”
The shopkeeper nodded, and he immediately turned around and ran out.
In the afternoon, the leader felt very strange, the price that was originally said to be good, suddenly changed in the afternoon, those people did not admit it, all the prices were doubled, and the things they sold were reduced to the price of garbage, and not only the people who did business, but also those who ate at the inn and others, all had a gloomy face.
What happened? In the evening, they gathered again, and after giving a briefing on today's work, one of them asked, "For some reason, all of us refused to do business with us in the afternoon." ”
When the leader heard what his men said, he was shocked and immediately said, 'Is this the case with everyone?' ’
The rest of the people nodded, the leader looked at everyone, and he said, "It seems that some people don't want us to enter the Xiliang Women's Country." ”
"Then why didn't they want us in? It doesn't make sense. Someone asked.
The leader also felt that it didn't make sense, and he felt that this oasis was weird everywhere, first of all, there were a lot fewer people in the oasis, and none of those familiar faces were gone, and secondly, those bandits appeared here for no reason, and they suddenly disappeared again, so where did they go? Is it waiting for us in the desert? But it can't be, no matter how powerful the bandits are in the desert, they will succumb to the environment.
The leaders of these two suspicious points can't figure it out, and now, the people of the oasis don't seem to welcome themselves to the Xiliang Women's Country, could it be that something happened to the Xiliang Women's Country? It's not right, if something happens to the Xiliang Women's Country, then it doesn't seem to make sense to go or not, why do they have such an expression.
There were too many things to think about, and the leader immediately made up his mind to flee from here, and he immediately said, "Whatever happens, we will leave tomorrow." ”
"There's still some stuff left unfinished." Someone said.
The leader shook his head and said: "No matter, I think it's weird everywhere here, now bring it to Xiliang Women's Country, anyway, it's just to make less money." ”
Although the subordinates didn't think it was too strange, but they didn't want to deal with those things at a low price, if they were dealt with at a low price, although they didn't lose much, they couldn't make money, and if they brought the goods to the Xiliang Women's Country, there was still a chance to sell them at a high price, I heard that where they were blocked by bandits for a while, the price should be very high.
When they decided to leave early the morrow, they immediately went to bed, but the chief kept an eye on it, and he kept a watch for the night.
But the first few days were fine, how could there be anything today, came overnight, the leader saw that it was safe for another day, he was slightly relieved, as long as he waited for himself to leave here, then it would be safe.
Soon, when they had everything ready, and when they woke up the shopkeeper and asked him to settle the money, the shopkeeper heard that they were leaving, and his face immediately sank, and he said, "Why did you leave so early?" ”
The leader thought that the reason was that he had woken people up too early, which made the shopkeeper very unhappy, and he immediately apologized: "Well, I'm sorry, shopkeeper, the caravan has decided to leave here immediately. ”
After hearing the apology, the shopkeeper's face improved slightly, and he asked, "I heard that you are going to Xiliang Women's Country?" ”
While eating, the leader said, "Well, I heard that the bandits have been eliminated by the king, and I am going to try my luck somewhere." ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "I advise you not to go, there are already many people dead." ”
What the! A lot of people died? The chief immediately looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Is there something going on somewhere?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded, and he said, "I heard that there is a plague somewhere, so we won't let people from the Xiliang Women's Country come in here." ”
The leader immediately understood why their expressions were so ugly when they heard that they were going to Xiliang Women's Country, it was because as long as they went and had to pass through here when they came out, then it would be easy to bring the plague.
"When did the plague break out in the Xiliang Women's Country?" The leader wanted more information, and he asked.
"A month or two ago, I heard that a lot of people died, even the bandits." The shopkeeper said casually.
No wonder, it turns out that the bandits also died from the plague, no wonder no one collects their own tolls, but this is not right, the leader seems to think of something, if the bandits are all dead, how can it be okay here, can't the plague come more than a hundred miles away?
The leader asked casually, "Have you ever had a plague here?" ”
The shopkeeper made a gesture of trying to remember, and after a while, he said, "No, when we heard that there was a plague, we immediately blocked the roads of all the districts of Xiliang Nuguo, and no one was allowed to enter here. ”
Without the Xiliang Women's Country, how can you store food here? The leader asked his question.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You forgot, there is also your Rakshasa country." ”
Although the shopkeeper's explanation is not very reasonable, if there is really an outbreak of plague in the Xiliang Women's Country, the leader will have to reconsider the route, if the news is true, then the Xiliang Women's Country will not be able to go, where it is too dangerous now, and where the Huangshang plague will die. And an adventure to the desert is still guaranteed.
He gathered everyone together again.
Zhiwei and when they heard this, they immediately knew that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper, no, there should be a problem with the entire oasis, at this time, everyone in the tent recalled that the oasis they passed by, indeed the oasis is similar to what this person described in retrospect, there were few people and deserted, and everyone was lifeless, as if something terrible had happened.
Is there really something wrong with it? Zhiwei looked at the oasis dozens of miles away, they can only walk dozens of miles a day now, if there is really a problem, what will happen tonight?
At this point, the man continued.
