153. Yin and yang
Nangong Jin still drove the car to the foot shop, opened a room, and helped Du Ling down with Li Mo. The sky was getting dark, and I didn't know if the effect of the medicine had passed, Du Ling actually woke up with a frown.
"Du Ling, how is it? Is it better? Nangong Jin asked softly.
Du Ling half-closed his eyes, frowned, and cried, "No, I have a headache and an uncomfortable stomach." ā
"Don't drink anything in the future." After thinking about it, he shook Du Ling, "Hey, do you feel it, is there a possibility of being hit?" ā
"What?" Du Ling opened one eye, "What*?" ā
"I don't want to ask you if I want to know what it is*, it's just a suspicion, or maybe not."
"Why?" Du Ling asked in a daze.
Nangong Jin didn't know if he wasn't sober yet, so he said angrily: "Just that wine, you can get drunk for two days after a few sips?" ā
"W-What? Two days! Du Ling sat up and stared at Nangong Jin.
Nangong Jin held him up, "What's wrong?" ā
Du Ling seemed to realize that he was not in the car, "This is, what kind of place is this?" Are we out of customs? ā
"In Wei Yuanwei, I didn't get out. Seeing that you couldn't sleep well, I found a store. ā
"So, what about the others?" Du Ling said anxiously.
"Anyone else?"
"Caravan!" Du Ling's expression was about to cry.
"They were out of the country around noon."
Du Ling looked around the room and asked softly, "What about Li Mo?" ā
"He went out to buy something to eat. What's wrong? ā
Du Ling said dumbfoundedly: "The caravan is out of customs." We, and Li Mo didn't go out? ā
Nangong Jin nodded, "Yes." Now you're telling me what's going on? ā
Du Ling violently lifted the quilt and rushed off the bed, Nangong Jin grabbed him, "What are you doing?!" ā
"IāI'm going to get out." Du Ling's tears fell. "I'm going to follow the caravan."
"You're crazy, big night, what's the point!" Seeing Du Ling's anxious crying, he was a little unbearable, "Du Ling, to be honest, what's the matter?" ā
Du Ling shook him off, as if he still didn't believe that it was night, opened the door and looked, walked a few steps outside, felt that it was cold outside, and walked in again, as if he had calmed down. Standing in the house and wiping away his tears, he said pitifully to Nangong Jin, "I want to go with the caravan." ā
Nangong Jin looked at him and sighed, "There are many people and cars in the caravan, so you can't go fast." If you want to follow, we'll be out early tomorrow morning, and we should be able to catch up before we get there. Pointing to the stool, "Sit down." Now tell me what's going on. ā
Du Ling sat down obediently, thought for a long time, and shook his head, "Although I don't know what to do, I will definitely do what I promised." ā
Nangong Jin looked at him, "What are you going to do?" Don't tell me? ā
Du Ling shook his head and didn't answer.
"Is it related to caravans?"
Du Ling continued to shake his head.
"Someone in the caravan threatens you?"
Du Ling paused and shook his head.
Nangong Jin stared at him and continued to ask, "What are you threatening?" Parents and brothers, or your brothers? ā
Du Ling kept shaking his head.
"Me?"
Du Ling shook his head slowly, stopped, and said loudly: "Don't ask, I won't say anything if you ask anyway." ā
"Anyone who threatens you with me is lying to you." Nangong Jin said word by word.
"No, it's not." Du Ling replied loudly.
"Is it the person who gave you that letter from Pingyang?"
Du Ling was obviously stunned, his face full of pain, "No, don't ask." Will we be able to catch up with the caravan tomorrow? ā
"I don't know. Because there is no obvious road out of the customs, the grassland is so big, it is difficult to say whether you can meet it. However, we know that they have a better chance of being there and having a purpose. ā
"But, but you'll meet before you say it's right!" Du Ling stood up 'rubbing', looking like 'you lied to me'.
"As much as possible. Did you have something left on the caravan? ā
Du Ling sat down again without answering, simply leaned face down on the table, raised his head sharply for a while, and looked at Nangong Jin, "Then, when will we arrive at Tumochuan?" ā
"If we had pursued the caravan first, it would have been farther than if we had set out directly from here to the Tumo River. Is there something you want to bring to the Tomogawa? ā
Du Ling shouted: "No, I don't know anything. In short, you don't have to ask. He grabbed his hair as if he was ruthless, then stood up and lay down on the bed, giving Nangong Jin the back of his head. After a while, he hugged the quilt and said, "Tomorrow we will leave early in the morning, and then catch up with the caravan, and then, we will leave to Tumo River." ā
"Okay."
**********
Chengjun was about to cry.
As soon as he got in the car, he found that there seemed to be a missing car, and when he set up camp at night, he got out of the car and ordered it countless times, all of which were six. Six cars, the one missing Nangong Jin. He ran inside and outside the caravan several times, but he didn't see Nangong Jin or Li Mo.
Of course, Liu Yi was just as shocked as he was. Lao Caitou told her that Brother Wang stayed in Weiyuanwei and waited for his cousin to wake up. As for that Li Gongzi, he was about to get out of the customs, saying that he had a stomachache and asked them to go first, but then he didn't follow, and he probably followed Brother Wang.
What's going on? Seeing that the play is about to end, the horn is gone. Could it be true that you really want to take these two little ghosts to Toto City? Lao Cai Tou said that they would follow after a day of delay at most. One day? I really don't believe it. Nangong Jin can't wait to get rid of all of them, now that there is only one Li Mo by his side, it won't take much time to get rid of them, and he will come back?
Liu Yi regretted it again, he knew that he should have connected with Senior Brother Li first.
The only one of the three who was elated was Cheng Rui, probably because he was crazy in the car. Now, he was singing and dancing around the fire, and he had taken a few sips of wine, and his little face was flushed. The whole caravan was amusing him, and they were very happy.
Finally tired, Cheng Rui was carried by an old fellow and sent to Liu Yi's tent.
Cheng Rui lay down, hugged Cheng Jun, and whispered in his ear: "Brother, uncle didn't get out of the customs, and Uncle Li didn't go out either." What are we going to do? ā
"I asked Brother Xiaomu just now, and he said they would catch up." Chengjun comforted, although he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"What if I can't catch up?" Cheng Rui continued to ask.
Chengjun thought about it and said unwillingly: "Then let's take a look at the desert scenery, and then let Brother Xiaomu send us back to Pingyang." ā
Cheng Rui nodded, closed his eyes and said, "Brother, I miss my father and mother, and I still miss my uncle." ā
Chengjun patted him on the back, "Sleep." You'll see it in your dreams. ā
**********
Nangong Jin kept his promise, and sure enough, he woke everyone up early in the morning and prepared to go out.
It was just dawning, it was cold, and it felt like it was going to snow. There was no one lining up at the gate of the city, only two city guards, dressed in cotton cotton, sitting in the corner and dozing.
Li Mo smiled bitterly and asked Nangong Jin, who was driving the car, "Are we too early?" ā
"They don't know when they'll release them. Wait, get out of the customs quickly, chase it as much as possible, I hope Lao Caitou will go slower. Nangong Jin began to untie the goods on the car in the same way, and Li Mo also helped.
"Didn't you say yesterday that you didn't want to follow the caravan?"
Nangong Jin glanced at Du Ling, who was sitting on the wheels and shrunk into a ball, "There are some things, it's better to figure them out and rest assured." ā
Li Mo nodded, and also glanced at Du Ling, "What did Doctor Du say?" ā
Nangong Jin sighed and shook his head, "No." ā
A trace of disbelief drifted in Li Mo's eyes.
Although Nangong Jin didn't look at him, he seemed to think of it and smiled, "He didn't pay attention to me when he beat me to death." I still thought that if I asked Brother Li to ask, maybe I could ask something. ā
Li Mo smiled, "I just said hello to him, but I also turned a blind eye." Dr. Du is really stubborn. ā
Although it was early, they didn't have to wait long, and caravans lined up behind them one after another. After a while, he drove the carriage out of the customs.
Along the way, Li Mo kept looking for an opportunity to set up Du Ling, but Du Ling seemed to be completely uninterested, shrunk in the carriage, frowned, and didn't say anything except to urge Nangong Jin to hurry up. Finally, Li Mo gave up.
The two changed cars, and there was almost no one on the grassland, but they didn't stop halfway, but it was still a caravan that didn't see Lao Caitou.
"Can't catch up?" Li Mo saw that it was getting dark, and wondered if he should start preparing for the evening's meal. "Lao Caitou is so fast?"
"It's hard to say, maybe they didn't follow this line. It doesn't matter, we should be in Toto City in two days, maybe we'll be in front of him. "Nangong Jin looks at the sky," stopped at the mound in front. I'll make a fire in a moment," and he looked at the carriage and said, "You take him to pitch a tent." Don't force him, I didn't catch up today, I'm afraid he will go crazy. ā
Li Mo nodded.
When Nangong Jin parked, Du Ling was really almost crazy, pestering and asking why he didn't catch up, jumping straight to his feet in a hurry, and actually wanted to grab the horse and chase it himself. Li Mo was helpless, so he simply shot and knocked him out.
Li Mo settled Du Ling, Nangong Jin was still lighting the fire, and asked without looking back, "How is he?" ā
Li Mo shook his head and sat down beside Nangong Jin, "Is there anything in the caravan?" ā
"I thought so too, but he wouldn't say."
"Can you catch up tomorrow?" Li Mo said worriedly: "Dr. Du has always been like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on." ā
Nangong Jin nodded, the fire in his hand lit up, and he took some food from the back of the car to prepare dinner. "I think I'll go northwest tomorrow, there's a little tribe there. Last time, I heard Lao Cai Tou say that he seemed to want to stop there and change something. ā
Li Mo took the things in his hand, "You can rest, I'll come." ā
Nangong Jin gave him the things with a smile, went to release the horse, fed some bean cakes, looked at Du Ling again, and saw that he was indeed fine, and returned to Li Mo's side.
Li Mo looked at him with a smile, "People who don't know will think that you have led a caravan." ā
Nangong Jin added to the fire with a smile, "When I was a child, I was not sensible, I heard that there was a gold family in the north, and I thought that his house was full of gold, and I thought that I would make a fortune by prying a piece, and I ran over with my fart." Outcome....... ā
Li Mo also smiled, "As a result, I didn't expect it to be a grassland?" ā
"It depends on how you understand it. For example, this stoneware bowl is not worth much at all in Binh Duong, but when it goes out, it is not ten times or a hundred times, but a thousand times or ten thousand times. Also, even the poorest families have a few sheepskins on the grassland, and those with slightly better quality have skyrocketed in value when they enter the Central Plains. Then, he smiled and shook his head, "It's all someone else, I don't have the capital." ā
"So, as an interpreter?"
Nangong Jin nodded, "At that time, my ideal was to earn a hundred taels of silver and then do it myself." ā
"Earned?"
Nangong Jin laughed, "Almost." ā
Li Mo looked at him and asked casually, "At that time, how old were you?" ā
"It's almost twenty. The steppe has been mixed for many years. ā
"Ever fought?" Li Mo asked suddenly.
"Not really. Don't look at the grassland, there are no people, but the situation is complicated. It doesn't matter if you do anything else, but you have to know how to protect yourself. ā
After a while, Li Mo smiled and said, "I still admire you." ā
Nangong Jin smiled: "If you really saw how embarrassed you were when you ran away, you wouldn't say that." Feeling a little cold, he leaned towards the fire and reached out to take the food handed by Li Mo. I'm afraid it's going to snow on this day, and tomorrow we'll try to get to Takhabe around noon, and it will take two days to get there from there. After eating, go to bed early, here I watch. ā
"You can rest first, and we'll change it later." Li Mo proposed.
Nangong Jin nodded, "It's okay." The fire must not be extinguished, there are wolves at night. After eating his supper, he went to sleep in the tent.
