Outside the plug is mostly red land, and there is nothing else in sight, mostly desolate, and few people.

It is usually a walk of dozens of miles to see a small sparsely populated village, and you can go there and get some water to drink.

Ordinary people don't come to the outside of the city for no reason, after all, this place is barren, and there are often horse thieves roaming around. If there are a few more battles between the Han and the Xiongnu, it will be incapable of living in peace.

However, for Gu Nan, this place is still good, she wants to find a place with few people to live, after all, she will not grow old, if she lives in an ordinary village, I am afraid that after a long time, I am afraid that she will be regarded as a demon.

Moreover, she didn't want to live in Kannai.

Stepping on the gravel on the ground, the sand was swept around a few times by the cold wind of Shuofang and flew into the distance.

Gu Nan raised his head and looked into the distance, the distance was full of desert covered with yellow sand and dust, and occasionally one or two dead trees or a ball of dry grass could be seen standing on the side of the road.

The red yellow color gives people a hot and dry feeling, but the wind blowing is very cold. A lot of sand was swept up in the air and flew away, making scattered sounds when it landed on the hat.

Farther away, you can see some stone houses standing there, and some figures. It should be a small village, but it stands out in a wasteland.

After straightening the hat on his head, Gu Nan hugged Wuge in his arms and walked towards the small village. It is not easy to meet a village in such a place, and she is ready to go buy some water.

······

"Jingle jingle bell." A man drove a mule by, and the mule had a bell around its neck, which shook and made a soft sound as it walked, and he carried several bags on his back and did not know what was inside.

There are not many people in this village, and most of the people on the road are wearing wide robes, and even their heads and faces are wrapped in cloth, so the weather in this place is indeed a little cold.

Even Gu Nan could feel some coolness while running his internal breath.

The houses on both sides are made of stones, and the large stones that have been smoothed together are covered with sand and sealed with fine cracks so that the wind does not blow in, and the houses built in this way will be much stronger than thatch, and there will always be strong winds in Shuofang, at least they will not be blown down by the wind for no reason.

There was a stall on the side of the road, and several people were sitting there drinking water, and the water was boiled and brought out, and it was necessary to drink it quickly, otherwise it would not be long before it was drunk.

The water vapor was diffused between the stalls, Gu Nan put the sword in his hand on the table and sat down, and the person who looked like the stall owner came up and said something to her.

It should be the dialect outside the Saiwai, Gu Nan didn't understand, the stall owner was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little stumblingly.

"Guanli people?"

This was in Shuo Fangguan's words, although Gu Nan listened awkwardly, he could still understand it, and nodded: "Yes." ”

"Ahh The stall owner replied with a clear smile, and the wrinkles on his face were huddled together.

Although he is from Guanwai, the villages in this border are all mixed with Guannei and Guanwai, and they all seek to live and there is no hostility between each other.

"Drink, what to drink?" The stall owner's Kannai dialect is not very good, but he can understand it.

Gu Nan glanced at the people at the table next to him and said to the stall owner, "A bowl of water is fine, and then help me fill this bag." ”

"Okay, two bucks." The stall owner smiled and held out two fingers.

He untied the water bag from his waist and handed it over, and at the same time took out two copper plates from his bosom and handed them to the stall owner. This is almost the last money she has on her.

The stall owner walked down, and Gu Nan sat at the table, idly looking at the streets in the village on the side.

Most of the people on the streets are exchanging things, probably from Kannai, and then they are transported here to exchange for furs, and finally transported back to Kannai to buy money.

Gu Nan's eyes looked at him casually, and suddenly stopped in one place.

It was a woman, the cloth on her head had been removed and hung around her neck, her cheeks were slightly red from the wind, but her skin was not dry, but white.

The eyebrows are very delicate, it is a sense of elegance, and the long black hair hangs down behind him.

At this time, she was squatting in front of a woman, taking her pulse, and the expression on her face was serious.

The woman's face was pale, and she coughed from time to time, which should be a symptom of cold.

Doctor, Gu Nan looked at the woman who was squatting in front of the woman attentively. Her eyes fell on her pulse-holding hand, and she listened slightly.

Although she has been studying medicine recently, she doesn't have a reliable gentleman, and she has no medical skills, so her progress can be said to be very slow. Thanks to her learning internal breath, at least she understands the meridian acupuncture points and has some foundation, otherwise she should still be in a state where she can't understand anything.

While Gu Nan was listening, the stall owner walked up with tea, as well as a water bag that had been filled with water.

Gu Nan thanked her and drank the tea, but she heard a burst of horses' hooves walking on the street, because she listened attentively, the sound of horses' hooves was very loud in her ears.

The voice was a little messy, about three or five people.

Gu Nan's brows furrowed slightly, not because of the sound of horses' hooves, but because under the sound of horses' hooves, in the distance outside the village, she heard a faint noise.

There was a group of people rushing towards the village, riding horses, and the sound of swords being unsheathed, which was not a good sign.

The hooves of the three or five people in the village approached, Gu Nan looked back, and the crowd on the street got out of the way, and it was three people in armor.

The armor on his body looked cold in the sun, and the cloak behind him hung down on the horse's back, swaying with folds with the horse's steps, and there were tattoos on it that I didn't know if it was Gu Nan didn't know.

Judging by the attire, it should be a person in the army, and it is a Han army, which is rare to see in a small village outside the fortress.

One of them was also wearing the armor of a young general.

The young general looked around at the appearance of the village, but it was not easy to meet a village outside the plug.

When he left the army, he took 800 horsemen with him, but he did not bring much supplies, especially water, in order to hurry. Each person probably only brought three or four bags, and he had not seen the Huns' camp for a long time, but the water had been almost drunk.

Since there was a village nearby, he also let the 800 cavalry be stationed in the distance first, so as not to disturb the villagers, and brought a few people to see if the village could get some water to replenish it.

The young general's eyes fell on the tea stall, saw the water in people's hands, smiled, stopped the horse, turned over and jumped down.

The owner of the tea stall saw the man dressed as a military master coming over, and hurriedly greeted him.

He was very discerning, and at a glance he could see that this should be the army in the pass rubbing his hands, and said a little nervously: "Jun, general, is there something wrong?" ”
