Xiangzi and Shuzhen Juanzi disguised themselves as passing merchants and went straight to the camel shop in Nanliangpo.

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes, and a hint of an expert smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, swept the faces of Shuzhen and Juanzi twice, and said with a slightly mysterious smile to Xiangzi: "Do you want an upper room?" ”

Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The boss is shrewd. ”

Taking advantage of the horse's effort, the shopkeeper laughed and whispered: "Now that they are all liberated, how dare my brother sleep two?" ”

Xiangzi grinned, stroked his beard, and said with a mysterious face: "One light and one dark, the gods and ghosts don't know." ”

The shopkeeper smiled knowingly and said, "Dude is smart, it's a pity that my yellow-faced mother-in-law ...... Hi! As he spoke, the shopkeeper looked dissatisfied.

Seeing this, Xiangzi smiled sly and said, "If you can't marry openly, you can raise it secretly?" It's always okay to go to see the forage market in January and February, right? ”

The shopkeeper was slightly stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and pointed at Xiangzi and said, "Master! What a master. Listening to my brother's words made my spear pop open. Admire, admire. As he spoke, his joy overflowed beyond his face.

After a few words, he narrowed the distance with the shopkeeper, and Shoko settled down peacefully under the pretext of waiting for the caravan behind.

There weren't many merchants coming and going, but a few sturdy and restless people living in the south wing caught Shoko's attention.

In the dead of night, only the lantern on the central pillar in the empty courtyard still tirelessly emitted a dim light. A black shadow flashed like a cat, and then disappeared without a trace.

Shuzhen took a sip of the tea handed by Juanzi, and said with a slight gasp: "It's that group, they also shouted that there are still five or six days before the people from the dry camp come, and they are afraid that the People's Liberation Army will come over." There is nowhere else to go now, just panicking like ants on a hot pot. ”

Xiangzi smiled warmly, and then muttered contemplatively: "I'm also worried that Huzi will be stupid enough to bring people over, but he will startle the snake." ”

Shuzhen pouted and smiled and said, "As long as you can, Huzi don't look at him usually silent, in fact, he is a thief in his heart." Didn't you see those cases he handled in Fuyuan? One is more beautiful than the other. ”

Xiangzi smiled and said, "That's not because of you, the mother of the chief of staff, who gave advice. ”

Juanzi put down the teapot in his hand, glanced at Xiangzi softly and muttered: "In your eyes, Huzi will never grow up." ”

Xiangzi smiled, glanced at the two of them strangely, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's not early, come and sleep." It seems that I am now a meat sandwich again. ”

Shuzhen pouted and smiled and said, "It's beautiful, who rarely sleeps next to you, stinky sweat and fishy, I sleep next to Sister Juanzi." ”

As soon as the afternoon rang, a few strong young men came to the store, saying that they were from Heshuo County, and they wanted to go to the mine to find work. Shoko took a look, there was a tiger in there.

The noon sun made the stones on the ground seem to make a slight noise, and the sparrows in the trees are lazily motionless. In the endless wilderness, there are only crickets that do not know the thickness of the sky and the earth, making tight or slow calls.

Under the shade of the trees, father and son looked at each other and smiled. Huzi briefly talked about the situation in Qinghu, and finally said: "I didn't expect people to move so fast." ”

Xiangzi smiled slightly and said, "Everyone is here, in fact, after we got into the water, we have already alarmed them." First send someone to spy on the lake, anyway, their baby is in the lake, and they are not afraid that it will grow wings and fly. ”

As she spoke, Nuan Nuan glanced at Huzi, and then said: "We have to take our time here, we must not startle the snake, this is our only chance to find out the whereabouts of the bandits." Six days later, early in the morning, you will bring two donkeys and some change of clothes for your two mothers. ”

Seeing Huzi looking at himself hesitantly, Xiangzi smiled indifferently and said: "It seems that we still have to go to the tiger's den, and if we can't see my letter, we can't act rashly." This time, we'll have to give him a pot. ”

Five days later, in the early morning, a horse-drawn carriage came to the shop. You can tell from the face of the shopkeeper that they are very familiar. Before the things on the car were unloaded, I saw two people rushing out of the wing, looking a little flustered and muttering a few words to the visitor, and then entered the wingroom together.

As soon as the sun was red and rolling down to the other side of the mountain, I saw the people hurriedly greet the shopkeeper, and hurriedly discharged from the hospital and walked in the direction of the sun's setting. After a while, the carriage also reloaded the unloaded things, and said hello to the shopkeeper lazily and left.

At this moment, a thick twilight overshadowed me, making everything on the earth hazy. There was a big camel caravan in the courtyard, and the shopkeeper and the two guys were busy greeting each other, not noticing that the two dexterous black shadows had secretly left the courtyard gate.

The moon is lazy, and the stars don't dare to show their faces too early. Walking on the boundless desert Gobi is like being in the vast sea of ink. Even the oncoming breeze seemed to sneak by, and not even a slight murmur remained.

In the darkness, two ghostly figures fluttered forward like leaves blown by the wind, and the crisp and distant sound of horses' hooves trampling on gravel could be faintly heard in the air.

The moon finally dressed up in a charming color, and the stars in the sky rushed to blink their bright eyes, as if they were snickering at the heavy makeup of the moon. The earth gradually turned gray, and the green hills in the distance were faintly undulating outlines.

The carriage walked slowly and leisurely like a black beetle, and the cigarette butts in the mouths of the people on the carriage emitted red light that appeared and disappeared from time to time. The two shadows slowed down, sticking to the beetle's back like a magnet.

Turning a fork in the road, the carriage was finally submerged in the vast mountains, leaving not even a sound. The secluded mountain is illuminated by the late moon, and at the gap in the mountain, only a weak shadow like a line is left.

In the dead of night, I saw two figures as light as leaves, floating into the courtyard wall of the camel shop. Shoko heard a slight voice and knew it was Sookjin and Juanzi who had returned. As soon as I mixed two cups of tea, I saw the two of them quietly enter the door. Without saying a word, each person poured a cup of tea, Shuzhen wiped her mouth and said, "It's really hiding in the black mountain opposite." ”

Xiangzi smiled with relief, took the dried snacks and fruits prepared in advance, filled the two with tea, and said with a glittering expression: "There is a place where jade is produced, and if you can't get a jade mine, it will be occupied by doves." After eating, hurry up and go to bed, and act as originally planned tomorrow. ”

Seeing Juanzi looking at him with a faint gaze, Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Is there anything else wrong?" ”

Juanzi made a resentful and delicate look, and muttered in a weak voice: "Everyone is tired and broken." ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he hurriedly pulled off the quilt on the kang and said, "Get down quickly, I'll rub it for you." As he spoke, he glanced at Shuzhen warmly, meaning that you will come too.

Massaging the waists of the two women, watching them gradually fall asleep, Shoko felt excited and lost a trace of sleepiness.

Gently pushed the door out, looking up at a bright moon and smiling at himself, the stars in the sky were also blinking playfully. Shoko felt an inexplicable sense of relief all over her body, as if she saw that the sky would be clearer tomorrow.
