The corner of her eyes twitched and looked at a pair of hands of indistinguishable colors, and kept digging and stirring in a jar, and then the old witch doctor gave herself a few paper packets of powder, and explained it internally and externally for a long time.

"Uncle Wulimu, I want to ask how the Shanshan family is going?" Qiong'er, who was holding the medicine bag, struggled for a while, and finally asked before leaving.

The old witch doctor, who lowered his head and sorted out his medicine box, suddenly looked up at Qiong'er, there was a dazzling light in his cloudy eyes, and his tone was a little solemn, "You want to go to Shanshan's house?" Who are you looking for? ”

Qiong'er has been in Shanshan City for almost a month, because she usually takes care of Yue Jinsheng, except for buying some food, she doesn't go out much, but she can occasionally hear some outside news from the mouths of porters who come in and out.

Until now, she only knew that this Shanshan City was named after the Shanshan family, and when it came to this family, the people in the compound didn't talk much, as if it was a very taboo topic. This old witch doctor is the most familiar person since Qiong'er lived in the compound, so she picks and chooses, and still thinks it is safer to ask this old man.

Looking at the somewhat stern old man in front of her, Qiong'er was so frightened that she kept waving her hand, "I heard that the caravan of the Shanshan family will go out every month, I thought about asking if I could catch my husband and me!" Then he bowed his head shyly and explained, "We want to go to the Moon Dynasty to settle down!" ”

Wu Limu looked up and down the dome suspiciously, and suddenly asked bluntly, "Are you a child of the velvet embroidery family?" ”

Who is the home of the velvet embroiderer? Qiong'er, who couldn't explain the origin, could only nervously squeeze the paper bag in his hand and bow his head silently.

Ulimu, who was mistaken for the default, showed a trace of warmth in his eyes, this girl was really a child of the velvet embroidery family, and Herchen's guess was really true!

It's just that this girl doesn't ask about the world at first glance, and she doesn't know anything and dares to inquire about Shanshan's family! Ulimu's tone was much more severe, "If you want to leave, you'd better go with Herchen, and don't provoke the Shanshan family's caravan!" ”

Qiong'er looked up and asked in surprise, "But isn't Uncle Herchen still going to buy a dowry for his daughter?" ”

"He is going back to the royal city of Hulan after shopping, you can partner with him when the time comes, and when you get to the royal city, you can find other caravans to go east!"

Wu Limu said in a very serious tone, "Besides, you also know that the border is not safe now, and you can't go over, so it's better to stay here for the time being to recuperate!" Your man's injuries are very poisonous, and the saliva of the sand wolf is not a good thing, so it's better to take care of it before leaving, otherwise there will be toxins left in the body, and it will kill you one day! ”

Qiong'er nodded gratefully, "Thank you Uncle Wulimu, then I'll ask Uncle Herchen!" ”

Wu Limu waved his hand, "It's better for you to stay in the compound honestly, Herchen will come to me in a while and let me make him some medicine, I will go to tell him about your business!" ”

"Girl, listen to the old man's words, don't go to the Shanshan family! And honestly stay in the courtyard to pack your bags and wait to leave! ”

Qiong'er could feel the kindness of the old witch doctor, but she didn't understand why the Shanshan family was so taboo to mention it.

Suddenly found that he was shallow and powerful, since leaving Tianliu Mountain, he seemed to have a little water into the sea, watching this sea of rivers blend and fight, but I don't know the cause and effect! I was a little annoyed that I didn't have a good understanding of the situation in the world during the two years I was trapped in the Moon Dynasty, and I thought that as long as I understood the landscape and topography of the Moon Dynasty, I could find a pure land and live a safe life!

Walk out of the old witch doctor's abode and step to the market.

The compound where they temporarily lived was the northeast corner of Shanshan City, where the merchants lived. There are a total of 32 huge oases in the land of Loulan wind and sand, and there are 32 cities. There are merchants running back and forth between these cities, not only to exchange goods for self-sufficiency, but more importantly, they use it to transmit news, so each city is very kind to these merchants who are willing to travel through the desert, and even draw a distance from the land for them to settle down in peace.

But because they were merchants, each city had a rule that no one could enter the inner city as long as it was not a member of the city's population. They had to wait in the outer city for the local common people, or the nobles of the inner city to come and barter for them, but this was to prevent the merchants from bringing in outlaws, such as the sand thieves and the likes of cholera.

The market is on the north side of the compound, and it takes half an hour to walk. Holding a small basket of medicine bags, Qiong'er squatted on the ground as usual to pick vegetables sold by local farmers.

"Grandma, your dishes are very fresh, there are many people in our yard, and these dishes are not enough to eat!"

The old grandma has known Qiong'er for a few days, this girl always buys vegetables in her own stall, but she bought a lot before, but it is not a lot, and when she hears people praise her things for being good, her face is full of smiles, "How many people are in the girl's courtyard?" I didn't see you buying much before! ”

Qiong'er nodded and replied gently, "In the past, I used to try to eat the leftover dry food we brought first, but it is not easy for Uncle to go once, so you can save it!" ”

"Yes, business is the hardest, grandma knows it!" The old grandmother pointed to all kinds of vegetables on the ground, "We have a lot of good things at home, but the old man and I have time to come out to set up a stall at home, and my sons have to go to the ground." If you want more, I'll wait for my son to give it to you when he's free. ”

Qiong'er nodded, "Grandma, then I want all these dishes you brought today." But do you have any other good things in your house? My husband is sick this time and can't eat, so I want to find some cold melons for him to go to the summer! ”

The old grandmother was even happier when she heard it, "Hey, let me tell you, I have a melon field at home, in such a hot weather, eat it with cold water, the melon is sweet!" But"

Suddenly covered his mouth, looked at the people around him, and quietly approached Qiong'er's ear and said, "It's just that the cold melons are all going to be paid tribute to the Shanshan family, and we can't sell them!" ”

Qiong'er quietly handed over a small bag from under her sleeve, and pleaded in a low voice, "Grandma, we came out this time and met the sand wolf, my face is ruined" slightly opened his gauze scarf, let the old aunt look at her face, and quickly covered it before she said sadly, "My husband was injured in order to save me, he"

"Grandma, can you sell me some cold melons? I'll give you a good price! ”

The old grandmother opened the small bag, twisted the fine powder in it with her hand, looked around in surprise, quickly hid the bag in her arms, looked at Qiong'er for a long time and said, "Then I can't send it out to you, our family is in the inner city, and we have to be driven out of the outer city if we are caught!" ”

Qiong'er nodded hurriedly, "Grandma, why don't you take me into the city?" I'll just buy a few small ones and bring them out myself! ”

The old aunt looked at the sky and it was only noon, and touched the small bag in her arms, "Then you pack these things, come with me!" ”
