Chapter 201
When Lan Zui and the others heard Khan Guli's description of this word, they were also cold. 'Dark Devil's Land', this is not a fun place to hear. A few people still need to ask more questions, Rong Shisan suddenly made a gesture of shaking his hand, and after ten seconds or so, a figure appeared at the door, and the two old women who went out before walked through the door hole with a large pot and a stack of earthen bowls in their hands, and put the food in front of several people.
The meal was very simple, the pot poured out of the hot milky milky white milk tea, with a thin layer of grease floating on it, a large earthen bowl in the middle of the table, a few shriveled naan, and two smaller bowls next to it, one bowl half vegetable and half meat, one full of cut fruit. The two old women shyly pointed to the food on the table and said something with a smile. Lan drunk and the others didn't understand, but based on the gestures, they guessed that they were invited to dinner.
With the two old women here, Lan Drunk didn't want to ask anything, so they had to silently reply with thanks, drink milk tea and eat naan. Lan Zui had been paying attention to the expressions of the two old women while eating, they only broke two naan horns, and their eyes swept over the bowl of meat and vegetables to reveal a longing look, but they didn't eat at all, leaving it all to the guests.
At this time, the hostility of Lan Zui and Rong Thirteen and the others had disappeared without a trace, and during the time they were talking, Xiri Ahong had already moved the vegetables and water from the carriage to the courtyard house. Lan drunk and they had no reason to stay, fearing that staying any longer would arouse the suspicion of other old people, so they had to leave.
The old people were very accustomed to the departure of Reyimu and the others, and they each stood at the door with a smile and waved, but no one walked out of the yard to see them off. A few fish walked out of the courtyard gate, walked to the place where the car was hidden, and looked back, the whole street was full of wind and sand, mixing the courtyard where Khangul and the others lived, and the other uninhabited houses, almost unrecognizable.
The vehicle started, and the desolate town called Udumu was hidden in the yellow from large to small. Lan Zui looked at the indistinguishable yellow in the rearview mirror, and suddenly asked, "Except for Khangul, is there really no longer a long song poet for Moke?" β
"No, the heir of the long song poet also needs to be selected, not to mention the rest, it is necessary to have a good brain and a good memory. Now that the smart young men are gone, to earn money, who wants to stay in Mork and spend more than ten years reciting and singing those long poems that are useless. β
Listening to Reyim's indifferent explanation, Lan Zui suddenly understood the irrepressible joy of Hangul when he heard that several of them were interested in the long poem, the disappointment when he heard that they only had to listen to one of the passages, and the reverence and solemnity when Hangul recited the long poem, as well as the faint sentimentality in it. It was the faithful faith that the old man was willing to dedicate his life to, but it became penniless among other people who were hit by the tide of development from outside, and it was doomed to the interruption of this sacred faith, and there was no successor to the history of the Mork tradition.
Lan Zui also guessed the reason why these old people would rather live in this isolated and almost deserted town than live in the better conditions of Moke. Probably in their eyes, Mok has been polluted by the outside world, and only here can they maintain the existence of the ancient Mok in their hearts.
Rong 13 also tentatively asked Reyim Karuo Basaqi on the way, but Reyimu frowned and kept silent. Rong Shisan was helpless, thinking that since Khan Guli said that many people knew about Moke, Reyimu was reluctant to say it, just forget it, go back and ask others, so he never mentioned it again.
There was nothing to say all the way, and after returning to Moke, Rong Shisan let Re Yimu and the others leave. This trip was calm and rewarding, and several people were in a good mood. As soon as they entered Dawut's house, they saw Dawut and his wife making ornaments with beads for their work. Rong Shisanyi sat on the sofa with his buttocks, and looked left and right with the finished ornaments, but Lan Zui was afraid that Jun Yihuang would not be able to withstand today's exposure, so he pulled people back to the room. Bai Suhe sat bored on the sofa for two minutes, her spirit was really low, she said hello to Rong Shisan, and went back to her room to catch up on sleep.
Rong 13 threw an ornament resembling an enamel bracelet from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand. Dawut watched his movements and wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare, so he had to continue to wear beads in silence. Rong 13 felt bored after a few moments, and took the bracelet in his hand to see, this bracelet is the kind of cheap handicrafts often sold in general scenic spots, the material is cheap and the workmanship is rough. Rong 13 shook his bracelet and asked Dawuti: "You and your daughter-in-law usually sell this for money?" β
"Hmm."
"I don't think this will sell for much."
"There's no way, the soil here is not good, and the yield of planting is low. There are no resources or specialties in this place, so you can only rely on making some handicrafts to sell them in Nuuk. β
Rong 13 showed an expression of obvious disbelief, "Just by selling this, can you build this house?" β
Dawut smiled wryly: "This is repaired with the savings I saved from working in a big city. You also know the housing prices in those places, and after working for more than ten years, it is not enough to pay a down payment on a house, and the pressure is still high. I got so desperate that I quit my job as a backpacker, met my wife at Mock, and decided to settle down here. β
"Oh. The locals seem to hate outsiders, but you dare to stay? β
"I wasn't so strict when I came, but now ...... Hey, you also know how fast the development is out there, many of the young people of Mork have gone out to wander, and those who remain now want to guard their hometown. They felt that the outside was hell and that outsiders were devils, and they had deceived all the young people of Mork so that Mork would become what he was now, so they became more and more hostile to the people who came from outside. You don't check the information before you come, the reputation of this place in Mock is notoriously bad in the circle of travelers, and almost no one dares to come now. β
Rong Shisan touched his nose, they were in a hurry, and they really didn't check these things. I guess this is the reason why Reyim said that outsiders are not good people, but this is just the inevitable result of the impact of modern culture in the traditional closed area, is it worth his resentment?
"Dawut, I heard you say that you have been here for a long time, let me ask you about something."
Dawut casually continued to wear his beads and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"Have you ever heard of this place?"
Dawu shook his hand, but the beads didn't hold it steady, and they tumbled to the ground.
"Do you want to go to Karubasazi? Who told you about this place? Don't go, you're going to die! Dawuti didn't pick up the beads that rolled everywhere, and said to Rong Thirteen with a rare expression.
Rong 13 ignored Dawuti's persuasion and continued to ask, "Where is that?" In the vicinity of Mork? β
Dawuti twisted his eyebrows and looked at Rong Shisan, made a gesture to let his wife leave first, and said after a while: "I can't tell where it is, Karuo Basazi can't be counted as a specific place name, it should be said to be an area." That area is all quicksand. The quicksand in the desert is terrifying, and the terrifying Cheng dΓΉ is not something you can imagine, I know...... You are not ordinary people, and you may have come to Mork for other purposes. I don't want to ask, I just advise you, don't go. β
Quicksand area?
Rong Shisan's eyebrows were also twisted, he never thought that the so-called 'Dark Devil's Land' would be a quicksand area. He had never seen the power of the quicksand in the desert, but he had only heard of it, and once he fell into it, it was impossible to escape, so he could only suffocate in the sand. And if it was a quicksand area, what did it have to do with the whereabouts of Xia Ruoqing's body? Could it be that Helan Fu and her brother were so angry and bored that he sent Xia Ruoqing's body all the way to the western Xinjiang, just to bury her in the quicksand?
"Have you been?"
"No, everyone who has been there is dead." Seeing that Rong Thirteen did not listen to persuasion, Dawuti stopped persuading and sighed, "Did you also hear that legend to hunt for treasures?" Don't just ask anyone else, Mok has a lot of family members who have died in Karubasaziri, and they can't even find their bodies. It is now a taboo in Mok that it is the place where Iblis is, and that he is dedicated to luring and devouring those who are not firm in their faith. Really, you believe in that kind of illusory thing. β
"Treasure hunting?" Rong 13 grabbed one of the key words, "What treasures are there in the quicksand area?" β
"Huh? Didn't you hear that legend? Dawut asked in surprise, regretting that he had slipped out, but this time the words were revealed, so he had to continue, "I heard that there is an ancient city in Karubasaqiri, and there are countless pearls and gems in it. Hehe, this is also a legend, I don't know when it was handed down. And even if there are cities, they are all stuck in the yellow sand now, and I advise you not to think about it. β
Rong 13 didn't answer, leaned back on the sofa, lowered his eyelids and pondered silently.
"Mock really doesn't know the exact location of Karobasazi?"
When Dawuti heard this, he sighed weakly, thought about it and said helplessly: "I can't say it...... Not a single one. As far as I know, there seems to be one. β
"Who?"
"Reyimu, the one who stayed with you all night last night."
Jun Yihuang was pulled upstairs by Lan Zui and closed the door. As soon as the door was closed, Lan Zui began to stare at Jun Yihuang to check, for fear that the sun during the day today would be too strong and make Jun Yihuang feel uncomfortable.
Jun Yihuang stood and let Lan Zui see, and just when Lan Zui was about to ask, Jun Yihuang suddenly rushed forward and said, "Lan Zui, don't go." β
"What?"
"I said don't go. Today you also saw the reaction of Khangul and Reyim, that place is not simple. β
Lan Zui's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I never thought it would be simple. β
"Wouldn't we be together for two years and live a stable life for two years? Why do you have to go? β
"Yihuang, I thought we had reached a consensus on this point." Lan Zui suddenly lifted Jun Yihuang's sleeve, revealing his slightly swollen wrist and said, "Two years? Are you lying to me or to yourself? If you look at Helan Fu's body, can it support it for another two years? β
