Chapter 195: Ulu Town
The desert during the day is on the high side, and it is easy for people to get thirsty when walking in such a place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Feng Lin pulled the plug of the water bladder, drank a few sips of water, and then handed the water bladder to Xuan Lin: "Fourth brother, I see that your lips are very dry, you can also drink a sip of water." ”
"Thank you, second brother." Xuanlin was indeed a little thirsty, and after thanking Feng Lin, he took the water bladder and drank a few sips, and returned the water bladder. "Second brother, how long do you think we can get to Ulu Town?"
Feng Lin put away the water bladder, "I guess it's here before sunset today." ”
"In that case, let's speed up and get to Ulu Town early." Qu Tianlin rode a camel from behind.
"Third brother, how is the third sister-in-law? Still dizzy? Xuan Lin asked worriedly.
It may be that she can't adapt to the bad weather of the desert, and Mo'er has been very uncomfortable since yesterday afternoon, dizzy and uncomfortable. ”
Xuan Lin checked her pulse, but she didn't see anything wrong, which made everyone a little worried.
Qu Tianlin nodded, "I have just ordered the faint point, let her sleep well, Chunyi and Xia Ying are taking care of her!" ”
"In that case, let's speed up our journey." Feng Lin said.
In the evening, the setting sun stained most of the sky red, and the hot temperatures slowly cooled.
Fortunately, they were quick on their feet, and finally arrived at Ulu before the sun completely set.
This Ulu is said to be a town, but compared to Jiayuguan Town, which is hundreds of kilometers away, it is like a birdcage.
Because of the perennial erosion of wind and sand and the fear of wolves, the edge of the town was mixed with loess and water to build a high earthen wall, leaving only a strong gate in the east, west, north and south.
After entering Ulu Town, Feng Lin stopped a young man to inquire about the inn, because Ulu Town often has foreign merchants to do business, and the people in the town can speak the language of the Great Xia Kingdom, but after all, one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and the people here speak the Great Xia language with a strong accent.
The young man said to Feng Lin: "Distinguished guest, there is only one inn in our town opened by Uncle An Liman. Saying that, the young man said to Feng Lin along the road: "Respect the guests, as long as you keep walking along this road, you can see the inn opened by Uncle An Liman." His inn is the only two-story building in our Ulu Town, and it is very recognizable. ”
Feng Lin thanked the young man, and took out a few copper plates to tip the young man.
The young man took the copper plate and left happily, and this scene was very envious in the eyes of others.
Some people even regretted why they didn't "kindly" go over to show the way to those merchants from the Great Xia Kingdom.
Feng Lin glanced keenly at the people around him, and then rode his camel in the direction that the young man pointed out.
In fact, with a gentle person like Feng Lin, if he was asked to reward a few copper plates on weekdays, he really couldn't do it. But Mu Xiu is in the truth that the forest wind will destroy it, Feng Lin still understands. When you go out, it's better to keep a low profile, and your complexion will cause unnecessary trouble. Although Feng Lin is not afraid of trouble, he also does not want to deal with unnecessary trouble.
Sure enough, as the boy had said, they followed the road that the boy had pointed to, and sure enough, they saw a two-story inn standing on the side of the street.
As soon as they approached the inn, a few outsiders came over and asked them in a very heavy Cypriot accent: "A few distinguished guests, do you want to stay?" ”
Feng Lin nodded, "Trouble for us, we need five upper rooms." ”
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but smile apologetically. "Guest officer, I'm very sorry, we are the only one in Ulu Town who lives in the horse inn. Nowadays, there are more guests, and each caravan can only be divided into three rooms at most. ”
"This ......" Feng Lin hesitated, but he thought of Mo'er, who was unhappy, so he nodded: "Three rooms are three." ”
Qingfeng accompanied Xiao Er, who lived in the horse post, to settle the camels and goods, and the others followed Xiao Er into the inn.
The decoration of the inn lobby is very exotic, I saw a colorful dark red blanket hanging on the wall for decoration, and a golden blanket was also spread on the ground, and tables and chairs were placed on top of the blanket.
"Guest, please." The shopkeeper led a few of them to the counter, "Madam, these guests want to book three rooms." ”
Inside the counter was a middle-aged woman in exotic clothes, and after she heard the words of the shopkeeper, she also said to Mo'er in Daxia Chinese, which had a strong accent outside the Saiwai: "Respected guests, one or two silver for one night in one upper room, how many nights do guests want to stay?" ”
Feng Lin didn't say anything, and directly took a piece of twenty taels of silver and put it on the counter, "You take these twenty taels of silver first, let people prepare a new bath bucket with less hot water, and then send us some food." ”
Seeing the twenty taels of silver, the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up, and she spoke more politely to Feng Lin. "Rest assured, the things you want will be available soon. Zarik, let's take a few guests to the room. ”
"Lady, quick, lie down and rest." When he arrived at the guest room, Qu Tianlin put Mo'er on the "bed" made by the red blanket.
"How are you, are you still dizzy?" Qu Tianlin was warmly concerned.
Mo'er shook her head: her pale lips lightly opened: "It's much better now, and my head is not so dizzy." ”
"Third sister-in-law, I'll help you check the pulse." Xuan Lin walked to the side of the bed, squatted down and said to Mo'er.
When Qu Tianlin heard this, he not only gave up his position to Xuanlin.
Xuan Lin put his hand on Mo'er's pulse, and it didn't take long for him to withdraw his hand. "Third brother, the third sister-in-law's pulse is stable and there is no hindrance. However, I see that the third sister-in-law's face is not very good, and after dinner, I will rest early. After saying this, Xuan Lin went out in order not to disturb Mo'er's rest.
Since they only got three rooms, everyone naturally had to squeeze in.
Qu Tianlin Mo'er and his wife, needless to say, live in one room. Chunyi and Xia Ying lived in one room, and the last room was left, and Feng Lin, Xuan Lin and Qingfeng lived together.
After arranging a guest room for them, the shopkeeper went downstairs to bring up the food.
The eating habits outside the Saiwai are different from those of Daxia, and the so-called meals are plenty of pilaf with milk tea and a plate of red willow skewers.
The taste of the red willow skewers is similar to that of the Sadiq grilled in Jiayuguan Town; The hand pilaf oil is shiny, rich in flavor and full of aroma; The milk tea has a strong milky aroma in the mouth, and the taste is somewhat similar to the milk tea that Mo'er drank in her previous life.
Originally, the skewers were greasy and the pilaf was also greasy, so it stands to reason that Mo'er's appetite is not very good now. But when I ate it with the milky milk tea, I felt that it was delicious, so that the hungry Mo'er not only ate more.
