Volume 2: Red Sand Adventures Chapter 2: Nansha City and Xu Kelai

There was no danger along the way, and the caravan arrived at Nansha City, which is located in the southernmost part of Chishazhou, according to the original time.

Along the way, Hasa told Tian Mao about Chishazhou.

There is only one country and five cities in the huge Chisha Continent, and these five cities are Dongsha City, Nansha City, Xisha City, Beisha City, and Chisha City, where the titular state of Stan is located.

The stone walls of Nansha City are not high, and they can't play any defensive role at all, maybe they didn't think about whether any country would attack the city, so the purpose of this city wall is just to simply enclose this place where people live. Moreover, there are gaps in many places around the city wall, making the city gate of Nansha City useless.

Residents at the gates, covered in layers of clothing and unable to see their faces, are carrying huge ceramic water tanks to the only deep well outside the city that still has water.

Tian Mao had wondered if he would die of heat if he wore such a thick layer in such a hot desert, but when he recalled the scene when he first looked at Hasa's skin, he understood in his heart that the desert sun was too poisonous, and he would rather die of heat than sunburn.

Obviously, the people of Nansha City are very familiar with Hasa, and they all raised their hands and greeted Haza warmly after seeing Hasa's caravan.

"Hey. Hazah. What kind of goods did you bring with you this time? I guess you've got a profiteer's smile behind your face covering. ”

Hazaha laughed, knowing that she was joking on him.

"This time, I can bring back a lot of the beauties of Lumingzhou, all of which are hidden in the small world I bought at a high price. You're a little late, and it's gone. Hasa replied jokingly.

"Just blow it. Hazah. It's still a beauty, and I'm not afraid that the one in your family will kick you to the door. Another person next to him immediately debunked Hasa's joke.

There were no soldiers guarding the city gates, and a group of people walked into the city with ease.

On the way, Hazah's caravan was spotted and made way for him.

The situation in the city was very different from the few cities that Tian Mao had seen.

There are no noisy stores in Nansha City, and a few slightly thicker pieces of wood are covered with strips of cloth of various colors to cover the privacy inside, which is the so-called one family. There are also a few buildings in good condition, made of stone and loess, which can be considered luxury houses here.

These men stood at the door, watching the caravan pass by with the eyes that had only been left outside, and in addition to some of the people who were greeting, some of them were going to the house to rummage through the silver coins, ready to come and buy the necessities they needed.

The team stopped after crossing most of Nansha City, and the location where they stayed was relatively wide, and it was also the intersection of several avenues in the entire Nansha City.

Hasa dismounted his camel and shouted to the back, "Guys, unload the goods of the first few camels, and lead the other camels to the back." ”

The few closed doors or low huts with curtains attached to the places where the caravan stayed belonged to the property of the Hasa caravan in Nansha City.

The men began to get busy in an orderly manner, and after resisting some of the goods into the house, all the camels were pulled to the open space behind which the land rights were represented by wooden strips.

Residents who had seen or heard the news had begun to converge here with storage containers and tinkling silver coins.

There were no signs, no shouting, and the official business began quietly.

The caravanserais' goods were relatively small, and they were all necessities such as salt, rice, flour, and oil.

The reason for the small number of categories is that the purchasing power of the people in Nansha City is very limited, but they do not bargain, which may be the reason why the price of each item has not changed for many years.

Hasa was a caravan that had traveled this route all year round, and his estimate of the supply of Spratly City was almost accurate, and the part of the goods unloaded from the camels was left after the crowd dispersed, and there was no need to bother to put them in bags all at once.

After a brief tidying up, Hasa specially expressed his gratitude to Tian Mao, thanking Tian Mao for helping like a member of this caravan.

This thank you made Tian Mao feel very frightened, in fact, Tian Mao felt that the most important thing to thank should actually be him, Tian Mao himself.

At the same time, Haza also told Tian Mao that they would not stay too much in Nansha City, and that they would leave Nansha City tomorrow and set off for the next city. But their caravan will leave two people in Nansha City, and while continuing to sell goods, they will also buy gems, minerals and other specialties buried in the desert. The next time the caravan comes to Nansha City, it will bring these specialties to Lumingzhou.

Hasa said that Tian Mao could temporarily live in one of the caravansera's houses in Nansha City, and of course, if Tian Mao had other plans in the future, he could leave on his own at any time.

Tian Mao did not refuse, and thanked Haza several times. This man, who has only known him for a few days, makes Tian Mao's heart very warm.

Hasa smiled lightly: "It's nothing, the bottom line of a businessman is that he must be kind." Who is not kind to do business with you, right?"

The careful Hasa took out a few silver coins and stuffed them to Tian Mao: "This is not pity for you, I lent you these silver coins." When you have money, you have to go back to Nansha City and pay it back to me. ”

Tian Mao didn't know how to thank Hasa, and without waiting for Tian Mao to speak, Haza continued: "Don't twist and pinch it, get ready, there will be a sumptuous dinner tonight." ”

Tian Mao put away the silver coin.

At this time, a man wrapped in gray came towards here. On the outside, he didn't look any different from the ordinary residents here, but when Hasa saw him, he quickly greeted him nervously.

"But here you are, sir. ”

Mr. Kelai, the man in gray, nodded, and the voice he made was changed and a little hollow.

"What did I ask you to bring?"

Hazah nodded.

"Bring it, bring it, I'll go get it to you. ”

Hasa went in to get something, and Tian Mao and Mr. Kelai in gray were left at the door.

Mr. Kelai looked at Tian Mao with a pair of exposed eyes.

Tian Mao was a little uncomfortable under Mr. Kelai's gaze.

"Not a desert man?" asked Mr. Kelai.

Tian Mao looked around and saw that there was no one else, and then he was sure that he was talking to him.

"I'm not, I'm from Lumingzhou. ”

Mr. Kelai said "oh" and continued to ask.

"Haven't I seen you before, is it the first time to enter the Red Sandbank?"

Tian Mao wondered how this person could know that he had entered the desert for the first time, and he also knew that he had not seen himself, after all, Tian Mao was also covered with his face like him.

"Ahh Out of politeness, Tian Mao still replied.

The gaze of his eyes never left Tian Mao, but Mr. Kelai's empty voice continued to sound: "You are a little strange. ”

Strange? The strangest thing is himself.

Tian Mao thought to himself.

This guy who says he's weird is really weird.

Just when Tian Mao was wondering, Hasa walked out of it with a big bag, there were not many things, and Haza was very struggling.

"Mr. Kelai, this is what you explained, can you take a look?"

Mr. Kelai took the bag, opened the bag and took a general look, and said affirmatively: "Yes, this is it." ”

After speaking, he also handed Hazah a small bag, and there was a clattering sound.

"Good work!"

Hazah took the bag and opened it with a golden glow, which turned out to be a bag of gold coins.

When he saw the coin, Hazah took a deep breath, but quickly handed it back to Mr. Kolai.

"I can't help it, it's too much. The few pieces you gave me last time called Xiuzhen Coins, in addition to purchasing the Spirit Invasion Iron you mentioned, there are still two left. According to what you told me at the time, I exchanged all of them for gold coins, a total of twenty gold coins, which is more than enough for our running expenses. ”

Mr. Kellai seemed to be impatient and no longer listened to Hasa.

"Take it if you want to. ”

Listening to Mr. Kelai's almost coercive tone, Hasa did not shirk and took it into his arms to express his gratitude.

Mr. Kelai looked thin, and he didn't have the struggling expression of Hazah just now when he held the bag in his hand.

was about to leave, but Mr. Kelai turned his head and looked at Tian Mao again.

"You can come to me when you have time, north of Nansha City, the penultimate room. ”

After the two watched Mr. Kelai leave, Hasa looked at Tian Mao with a puzzle.

"What did you say?"

Tian Mao was also puzzled, he himself didn't know what was going on, this strange person was so interested in him.

"I didn't say anything. Who is he? ”

Hasa suddenly smiled knowingly and patted Tian Mao on the shoulder.

"Haven't you met something good? When I brought him those things, the people in the Ink Shop said that this is something that only talismans use, and that he is probably a legendary talisman. ”

Master Fu, the new words of this continent instantly filled Tian Mao's mind. Is it a profession?

Hasa continued: "If it is really a talisman master, then he must be a cultivator, didn't you want to become stronger before? ”

For the time being, I don't think about what kind of profession this talisman is. The person Hasa just said was very likely to be a cultivator, which made Tian Mao look forward to his visit.

"Take advantage of this opportunity. Hasa already felt in his heart that Tian Mao was a good thing.

But there were still some worries rising in Tian Mao's heart.

He didn't know what kind of means of communication the cultivator had, and what to do if he met someone who was chasing and killing him.

He spoke to Hazah about his concerns.

Hasa disagreed, and felt the need to correct Tian Mao's mentality now.

"Are you afraid of anything? I think you're bold now, but you're too cautious. You must not do this, and don't live your life with some worries that will affect your view of other things in the future. For example, now, if it is the person who wants to kill you, does he still need to wait for you to come to visit? Just now, he killed you in two moves, and you have no chance to resist. ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Tian Mao thought carefully about Hasa's words, and with Tian Mao's understanding, he understood that his thinking direction during this time, especially after encountering things, was really too immature.

You can't live with excessive caution and skepticism. Yes, I can't do that, what I lack now is that bold and careful attitude. And you can't torture yourself with the burden of thinking about how to get back to where you came from, because the only way to get this way is definitely to become stronger, just become strong now. You have to be happy in everything, and you can't let yourself live as a bitter gourd face.

He thanked Hazah, and I don't know how many times he had thanked him. Fortunately, Tian Mao met a friend like Hasa.

"It's good to understand. Let's go and enjoy a sumptuous dinner tonight. ”
