Chapter 345 The Opposite
Before leaving, Mu Wan did the usual calculations.
Gu Bai squatted quietly on the ground and looked up. In the past few days, following Mu Wan, he has eaten a mouth full of oil, and his stomach has been rounded. Therefore, he admired Mu Wan so much that he was convinced.
Soon, Mu Wan calculated: north-east, Shengmen, Ji.
"Ah Bai, let's go!" She picked up her bags and waved her hand—after five days in the little oasis, they had stored a lot of things: jerky, hides, bladders, little red fruits...... It is absolutely impossible to fit with her little baggage. Fortunately, someone was self-taught, fumbling around to weave a pair of small baskets from young branches. It's a little ugly, but it's definitely sturdy and has enough capacity. Then, she chose a small bowl of miscellaneous trees and cut them slightly to carry the burden. Hehe, if necessary, it's a weapon to line the hand.
"Yes." Gu Bai jumped into the small basket in front of him.
Well, the little guy is a lot heavier, and so much meat is not eaten for nothing...... Mu Wan raised her eyebrows and strode out of the grove.
After a few days of observation, she concluded that the days were longer and the nights were shorter. At this time, although the sun has turned west, it is still at least three hours before it is completely dark. In addition, at night, early tomorrow morning, she hopes to really get out of this Gobi before noon and find people. Only when she found someone could she find out what kind of place this was and how she could return to the sect.
There are enough spiritual spring water with two wolf skin water bladders, and there are also thirty-nine small red fruits, so there is no need to worry about the consumption of spiritual power and divine consciousness for the time being. Yes, she carried the burden and walked quickly.
In fact. Without the scorching of the sun, just walking quickly, the consumption of spiritual power and divine consciousness is still relatively slow.
However, more than an hour later, Mu Wan carried the burden and walked out of the Gobi, but walked into the desert full of yellow sand!
After nearly two hours, the sun was completely sinking in the west. Night falls.
What about the good birth gate? Looking at the endless desert, someone felt a tingling in their temples on either side.
Hmm, the consciousness has been depleted to the cordon again. Mu Wan put down the burden. Sit cross-legged on the gravel floor. Drink water and eat small red fruits.
Seeing this, Gu Bai jumped out of the small basket in front of him and said, "Sister Mu." You have a good rest. I'll give you the Dharma Protector. He slept in the basket for more than three hours. Now the spirit is terrible.
"Okay." Mu Wan really closed her eyes and recuperated. For a few days. Just because there are no monsters going to the grove to drink water doesn't mean that there are no monsters here. Right now. The surroundings are quite safe, of course she has to hurry up and recuperate.
"Wow, what a desert!" Gu Bai walked around the perimeter, patrolling around, and by the way, getting rid of the inventory in his stomach - well, the latter is the main purpose. Sister Mu is a girl, of course he has to avoid it.
Then, he flew back and lay quietly next to Mu Wan—this was a vigilance experience that the Mother Queen had told him. Lying on the ground, you can hear movement farther away.
After about a quarter of an hour, Mu Wan opened her eyes again and got up energetically: "Ah Bai, okay, let's go." ”
"Okay." Only then did Gu Bai get up and jump into the small basket in front of him again. The basket contains jerky. He pulled out a small piece and chewed it deliciously. sleepy, sleep in a small basket; If you are thirsty, drink some spiritual spring water; When you're hungry, eat a piece of jerky. Compared to the other day when I was walking in the midday sun, today was simply too comfortable.
As for whether you can get out of this desert. He wasn't worried at all - Sister Mu was so powerful, she would definitely be able to get out of the desert!
In this way, the two of them walked around the desert all night!
Animals are rarer in the desert than in the Gobi. Along the way, they didn't even encounter any living creatures blocking their way.
The next day, Dongfang wanted to know, and Gu Bai was still asleep. Mu Wan walked and walked, and suddenly saw a thick line of green jumping out of the distant sky!
Is it an oasis, or a town? She shook Gu Bai up happily: "We have come to the edge of the desert. ”
The latter poked his head out of the basket, looked into the distance, and said, "Oh, it's the same as last time." It looks close, but it's still far away. At least it will take more than two hours to walk. With that, he retracted to the bottom of the basket, curled up, and fell asleep. He had already eaten more than half of the jerky. The vacant space is just for sleeping.
Mu Wan took a deep breath, sped up her feet, and continued to hurry—if it was really as Gu Bai said, she had to hurry up. Otherwise, we will really have to go under the scorching sun again. She had tasted it once, and she didn't want to suffer it a second time.
So, she almost ran all the way.
Nearly an hour later, it was dawning. And the green on the horizon has finally become much larger. Gu Bai leaned on the edge of the small basket, poked his head out, and said, "Well, it's not far. ”
There was a dull ache in his head like a pinprick in his head. Mu Wan put down her burden, sat cross-legged, drank water, ate small red fruits, and replenished her divine consciousness and spiritual power.
Like the previous times, Gu Bai jumped out of the basket again, lay on the ground, and protected the Dharma for her.
After resting for more than a quarter of an hour, one person and one fox continued to move forward. After another quarter or so they saw the green as it was—it was a great oasis, nearly a hundred times larger than the previous small oasis. In the green shade, there are cornices and arches, as well as roosters and dogs barking.
It's a small town in the desert.
Mu Wan laughed from the bottom of her heart. After walking so far, I finally saw people.
"Ah Bai, stay in the city for a while, in front of people, you don't have to make a sound." She specifically instructed.
Gu Bai leaned on the side of the basket and nodded: "Well, I know." "If it's just a group of mortals, seeing that foxes can speak, will they be burned to death as monsters on the firewood? It's terrible to say. He made up his mind that from now on, he would keep his mouth shut and treat himself as dumb.
After tidying up her bags a little, Mu Wan carried the burden and walked over quickly.
"Jingle ......"
At this time, from the left front, a melodious copper bell sounded in the distance.
One person and one fox looked at each other.
It turned out to be a caravan coming. There were more than a dozen Bactrian camels in the team. They lined up in long lines, carrying goods, almost all of them carrying people between the two humps, each with a brass bell around their necks. That's where the tinkling sound comes from.
In the caravan, the leader of the caravan. and those who serve as guards, all of whom have big shoulders and round waists. Mu Wan took a closer look and found that it was all women. In addition, there were five small men in the caravan, sitting on camels in the middle and back, wearing red and green and gauze scarves to cover their faces.
Strange, where have all the men here?
Mu Wan thought about it, so she simply slowed down and waited while walking.
More than a quarter of an hour later. The caravan came over.
"Yikes. What a handsome sister......" From a hump came the chuckle of a young man.
The tone is frivolous and simply rude. Mu Wan twisted her eyebrows, raised her eyelids, and glanced at it quickly.
on that camel. Only a small, well-dressed man sit.
Wear red and green. Cover your face with a gauze scarf. Is it a young man?
She shuddered, lowered her head, and carried the burden. Get out of the way.
"Jingle ......" The camels followed one another and walked slowly past her.
There was a coquettish smile of "eat and eat" overhead, and on the camel that followed closely, there was a young man's soft voice: "It's really handsome." ”
What! Mu Wan glanced at it quickly from the corner of her eye. Another petite and brightly dressed little man!
What the hell is this place! Mu Wanhu suspiciously closed her five senses and sensed it with her breath.
Then, she was thundered.
Dizzy, those five little men who are gorgeously dressed and cover their faces with scarves are all fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys! And those women with big shoulders and round waists, strong like iron towers, are also like fake women.
Immediately, Mu Wan's three views were subverted.
And in the small basket, Gu Bai was already stunned by thunder. Sure enough, the mother queen was right, he was still too young to see much of the world......
Dozens of zhang away, in the green shade, there is a two-story blue brick city tower. On top of the arched city gate, there is a stone plaque engraved with three words that are common in the mortal world: Xilang City.
It seems to be the mortal world.
By this time, the gates had been opened.
At the doorway stood two sergeants carrying wax and red tasseled spears. They were also women, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, black and strong, about their early twenties.
Mu Wan settled down, carried the burden, walked a few steps, followed the caravan, and walked towards the city gate.
Thankfully, neither sergeant did not even look at her.
Someone made it into the city without any problems.
After entering the city, the caravan stopped in a clearing behind the city gate. It looks like they're waiting for someone to pick them up.
Mu Wan is not good at following others all the time, so she has to find her own way.
It's a small town. Most of the buildings in the city are low and shabby. The streets are paved with bluestone pavement, and most of the houses on both sides are located, and occasionally you can see a shop. At this moment, the shop opened. The sleepy-eyed guy yawned as he laid out the goods.
Well, the guy is also a woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and handsome.
Mu Wan exhaled a breath of turbidity and said secretly: Fortunately, not all the women here are long and strong.
She walked over and asked with a smile, "May I ask the shopkeeper, where is the market going?" "Usually, there are a lot of people in the market, so it's easy to get in. Moreover, dragons and snakes are scattered, and there are all kinds of people, and they are the least easy to attract attention. What's more, she doesn't even have a child on her now, so she can't mix it. You'll have to go to the bazaar and see if you can get some silver for the hides.
The guy glanced at her, stretched out his hand and pointed to the right front of the street, and hummed vaguely: "Over there, go straight!" ”
"Thank you." Mu Wan thanked him, picked up the burden, and walked to the right.
After walking for about a dozen feet, the shops on both sides gradually increased. Almost all the shops are open. Like the shop I just saw at the corner of the street, there are very few door plaques hanging in front of the store. Usually what is sold, it is displayed at the door. The busy guys inside, without exception, are all women.
Well, after walking so far, I haven't met a man yet.
The customs here seem to be the opposite of what is found elsewhere...... Well, that's not the point. Anyway, I won't be staying here for long. Mu Wan walked into a shop with a cowhide and a sheepskin hanging in front of the house.
There was only one guy in the store, a big girl in her early twenties, who was wiping the table. She immediately threw away the rag in her hand and ran over: "Hey, what are you doing?" Early in the morning. We haven't opened yet. ”
Well, he was a human being in two lives, and for the first time he was called Hanako. Mu Wan was embarrassed, and quickly explained: "Shopkeeper, do you want skins here?" ”
"Want to sell skins?" The guy looked her up and down, and finally, his gaze fell on Gu Bai, and he hummed, "Fox skin? It's too small, it's not grown yet. ”
Gu Bai was so angry that he almost scolded.
===Dividing line===
Thank you for the month/ticket of a certain peak, thank you! (To be continued.) )
PS: I've always wanted to dig a female pit, but I couldn't do it. Now, as I get older, my energy is not as good as before, and it is estimated that after the yard is completed, a certain peak can not dig the pit. Therefore, when writing the outline, I deliberately made a graft in this pit and became addicted.
