389 Return to the Prairie (5)
I really didn't expect that the person who would solve my doubts turned out to be Her Royal Highness Xiaoli, the most noble eldest princess of our Tang Dynasty!
"Hah! You're amazing! Even these know, admire and admire! After I was poor, I continued to ask: "Then~ I don't know if you are Lord Xiaolizhi~ Do you know where these tribes are!" Will it be the same as the person who attacked us just now~ Wait! Doesn't seem right! It's still morning~ You said they were going to the market outside Yanmen Pass~ So why did they return at this time? Shouldn't you be like those people and go now or sooner? I pointed to another team, who were driving a bunch of cattle and sheep, and a team of people who were dressed up about the same as those just now, who were walking in our direction, and asked Xiaoli to ask.
"Oh! In fact, when these markets are closed and opened, they are officially opened, so some of the people who come to Datang to sell their goods will come to sell them after camping outside for a night and when they open early in the morning, so at this time, after the transaction is completed, some people will return to their own tribes! Don't you see that those people have some cloth bags on their horses? Xiao Lizhi pointed to the group of people we followed and said, "It should be the goods that were traded from Datang!" They've always bartered! ”
After listening to her explanation, I can be considered to understand a little. It turns out that these people are not horse bandits or bandits! It's just a foreigner who came to trade! If that's the case, then maybe the person who attacked us just now was also someone who came to trade! It's just that because they saw that our group was far away from the roadside, maybe they wanted to rob it!
And these people are not dressed much, all of them are strong horses matched with sloppy riders, and they are all dressed in torn leather jackets, bows and arrows and swords~ It's really difficult to tell who attacked us! Xiao Lizhi also said just now that these people are not from the same tribe, and it is said that on the grassland, there are really small tribes like this...... And many of these small tribes are not enemies of the Tang Dynasty.
Just listening to Xiao Lizhi and Nie Xiaoqian's explanation, we walked until the sky was dark, and then we came to a low city tower made of all the dirt, I looked to the side, and found that this city is not only the city gate building is low and low or mounds of earth, even the city walls here are all made of adobe! Compare with the level of Yanmen Pass~ Uh! There's no contrast in this thing at all! It's just a town made of mud......
"Huh! The town you're talking about~ won't be this! I pointed to the scenery in front of me and asked Nie Xiaoqian.
And Nie Xiaoqian and Xiao Lizhen were also stunned! It seems that the two of them are just listening to the scene! If it weren't for the first time to see such a shabby Tucheng, I guess these two people wouldn't know!
However, I looked at the earthen city in front of me, and suddenly remembered that not far from Jinyang City, the small city that could be torn apart with a car! It's that little mini-city that some rebels had secretly built before I suddenly disappeared! I found that if I compare it with the earthen city in front of me, the small city that was hit by a car and broke the city wall is really a normal city!
The earthen city in front of me~ I guess it's an unreinforced car~ can knock down the city wall! The adobe walls look just too bad!
However, even if it is such a city gate and city wall, it is also guarded by many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and when we passed by, we were inspected for a long time, if it weren't for the customs clearance documents issued by Li Tao~ Then maybe you won't be able to enter this small earth city! I didn't see a lot of people and horses dressed in leather jackets and felt hats next to them, and they could only walk around the city, and they had no intention of entering the city at all!
"Huh! It seems that even this kind of small earth-breaking city is not accessible to everyone! But ~ Is this also the territory of Datang? How can I see that many of the guards guarding the gate are dressed as Tang people! "After we entered the city, I asked Nie Xiaoqian and Xiaoli about them. The situation just now makes me feel no different from before I left the customs! They are all guards of Datang!
Xiao Lizhi and Nie Xiaoqian listened to my inquiry, but just shook their heads and said they didn't know!
I think so! After all, these two girls are not people who go out all year round, and just being able to distinguish the identities of those who are in a hurry have already impressed me.
But when I entered the city, I got out of the car and looked around, of course, Nie Xiaoqian accompanied me to get off the bus. When I asked the tea stall on the side of the road, I learned that there is no post station here for us to enter and rest, and I also inquired, this is really not the territory of the Tang Dynasty, as for why there are Tang people guarding the gate, it is because of the recent war, the Turks in the vicinity have been driven away, so the military of the Tang Dynasty will temporarily take over this earthen city. And this was originally a small town where the tribe and the merchants of the Tang Dynasty did business with each other, but because it was very close to the Tang Dynasty, it was built into such a small town by the following people, as for the ownership of this town~ In fact, it is a territory that does not matter what! After all, it's just a market turf.
After inquiring that there are many inns here, we were going to find an inn to rest, but after looking for a long time, we found an inn that promised us to drive in, and we could stop and rest, but this time the environment was much worse than when we temporarily stayed at the post station, and we were arranged into a vacant lot next to the cattle and sheep pen! The area of this inn is not small, and the house where you may live is not as large as the horse shed and the cattle and sheep pen! So after we paid the housing fee according to the capitation, and then paid the 'parking fee' according to the price of two large cars, this is considered to be a stay!
"Huh! It's a shop, and it's paid per capitation! I reluctantly paid the fee according to the owner's request and said. I feel a little wronged, after paying according to the head here, although you can go to the shop to rest casually, but my car is full of big girls! How can I go to sleep in the shop, and I also asked the shopkeeper, this kind of shop, but who comes first and chooses the place, a long shop, at least ten people must be squeezed!
So after we pay, we can only continue to live in the RV! But if you don't pay the housing fee per capitation, then you won't be allowed to come in!
"Little black, you're going to be done! After all, this is already outside the gate, so it would be nice to find a place to stay! Nie Xiaoqian persuaded me on the side.
"I'm not sorry for those money, it's just that ~ I live here ~ I don't even provide hot water, and even ~ alas! Forget it, we don't lack this anyway! I shook my head.
Because I found that although the money paid for the hotel here is only five cents a day for one person, there is nothing in this inn except for the shop! For example, if you drink water and eat, you need to go to another restaurant outside! This is the first time I've seen this kind of separation between accommodation and eating and drinking! However, I found that there are all kinds of feed sold here~ This cattle, horses and sheep are treated better than people here!
Luckily, we now have an RV 'Xuanjia Iron Award' for us to settle in, so we just need to rent a place to settle here, and I find that if we don't live in an inn here, it may be even more dangerous! Because it seems to be very chaotic outside, before we drove all the way from the city gate to live here, we encountered a dozen scenes of people beating each other in the street! I'm afraid that if I stay outside, I will be harassed in the middle of the night! Renting a guest house here should be regarded as spending money to buy a safe site!
Moreover, we have already decided that no matter what happens today, we don't feel like we can get out of the car, and if something happens in the middle of the night, we will just drive out! Just now, I also deliberately asked Nie Xiaoqian to jump on the wall to observe the alternate retreat, and found a few weak places in the city wall, in case there is really an accident in the middle of the night, we can also drive out directly!
Fortunately, although there was some noise from the outside world this night, the 'accident' I feared did not happen, and we rested until early the next morning, when our group left the inn and prepared to leave here and continue to the north.
We actually discussed some things last night. First of all, the purpose of our trip is to catch up with the award and the grass and their group, but if we are at our current speed, it will definitely not be able to catch up with them, after all, they have been working hard to the north several days ahead of us, although we are chasing by car, but the award and the grass they also have a car! Although I don't know how long the gasoline in that car can be checked.
And the speed at which we are catching up~ To be honest, it seems that it is not as good as those businessmen who are in a hurry! And we had a night off last night!
So I discussed with the others, the rest of the journey will be harder, everyone will take turns to rest and take turns driving, anyway, we don't need to have a supply problem, so if we just rush at full speed, maybe we can catch up with them!
In addition, I found that the road is in good condition now, although there are many pedestrians on the road, and it seems a little crowded. But there is a road to walk here, so we should speed up a little faster, and it should not be dangerous, and when the map says that there is no road, we are slowing down!
My suggestion has been approved by everyone, so we began to take turns to rest and take turns driving, and have been non-stop to start the rush time, but fortunately, we maids, basically can drive, each driving for three or four hours, can make the car non-stop, and everyone who has driven, can also rest for twenty hours before picking up the next shift. It's just a little surprising that Xiao Lizhi has forgotten how to drive, but it doesn't matter!
In this situation, after three days of non-stop walking, we came to the map that there was no safe way to drive, and when we ran here, we could not even see the larger tribes, and there was a desert in front of us!
"Huh! This ~ can't be the desert I've ever encountered, right? I looked at it suspiciously, but I couldn't be sure if it was the one I encountered last time in the demon city, and there were no tribes or towns around here, so I couldn't ask for directions.
"Huh? Have you been here? Xiao Li asked curiously, and then she glanced at the desert scene opposite, and she was also a little flustered!
"Ahh There~ why is it so desolate! ”
Hearing Xiao Li's exclamation, the other maids also came over and looked out from the front windshield! Then the exclamations came one after another.
Think about it, where can these maids see the desert! When I released them out of Yanmen Pass, I was not surprised by the scene of the grassland! Now I see the desert, and the same is true!
"Young Master! Can we go down and have a look? Xiao Ling shook my arm and said coquettishly while looking into the distance.
"Huh? You~ You all want to go down and have a look? ”
As soon as I asked this, even Nie Xiaoqian looked curious. I want to go down when I see it, so ~ let's go and see it! On the edge of this desert~ there should be no danger!
Thinking of this, I decided to let Nie Xiaoqian go down carefully to check the surrounding environment, and after finding that there was indeed no one else, I promised to let everyone go down and have a look, and go to the desert to play~ It should be no problem!
Seeing the maids running out of the car like crazy and heading straight for the desert, I couldn't help but smile in my heart, remembering the first time I saw this kind of scene, I actually wanted to roll all over the ground like a joy!
However, for safety reasons, I took the initiative to pick up the binoculars in the car, climbed directly onto the roof of the RV, and then began to look around. The accident outside Yanmen Pass last time was actually something that made me eat a trench and grow wiser...... If anyone tries to surround it, I'll find out first!
I don't know if it's because the neighborhood is really deserted, these maids have been playing like crazy outside for an hour, and even after another 'picnic', there is no human presence around here, so it is very safe. It wasn't until everyone had had enough of eating and returning to the RV that I was completely relieved, and then~ I was ready to continue going!
"Hey! We're going to set off now, but ~ it's going to cross this desert, so ~ everyone should be careful when driving, after all, there is no road here, and ~" Speaking of which, I also deliberately took out the compass, and then continued: "And we also need this to identify the direction, although we are not short of supplies, but it is also very dangerous to get lost in the desert!" Please pay attention to this! And you! Nie Xiaoqian, you work harder, don't drive the vehicle, concentrate on navigating! ”
