Chapter 1060: Arriving at the Ancient City

He wondered, "Don't they understand the Central Plains language?" ”

The Night Ghost interjected at this time: "This is located on a major transportation route, and merchants of all ethnic groups are constantly coming and going, so it stands to reason that the residents should know a little Chinese." ”

Mu Yilan frowned and said: "It's indeed a little strange, this is the only green state in the depths of the desert, but the population is so sparse, and the behavior of the residents is strange...... I don't know why......"

Everyone has already removed their mounts at this point, after all, it is in a desert town, and if it is too public, it may cause trouble.

Brother Tianxing Jiu was also walking, he looked around and said, "I always feel that this town is weird. ”

The Night Ghost said, "Maybe it's a mission. ”

Su Yang said lightly: "Don't think about it so much first, let's find an inn first, there should be someone to inquire about." ”

Everyone nodded and followed Su Yang one after another.

In this desert oasis, there are no orthodox inns, and the only places they can live are old houses.

Not long after, the group came to an inn, Su Yang took the lead and walked in with the group.

It was noon, the weather was a little hot, and behind the stained counter in the dilapidated inn, a middle-aged woman in a coarse cloth shirt was napping.

Yang Yushan stepped forward and shouted softly: "Shop? Shop ......"

"Ahh The middle-aged woman woke up and saw someone coming, and immediately shrank down and exclaimed, "Don't come! Stay back! Take whatever you want from the store, please don't come here! ”

Seeing the woman's actions, several people looked at each other, and they all felt that something was wrong.

Su Yang said softly: "Shopkeeper, we are not bad people, you don't have to be afraid!" We won't hurt you. ”

"You, you ......." The middle-aged woman took a few closer glances at Su Yang and his party, and when she saw the dress on them, she was slightly relieved, she took a deep breath and said, "You are not horse thieves?" ”

"Horse thief?" Su Yang frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

The middle-aged woman let out a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Seeing that you are dressed so gorgeously, it shouldn't be those horse thieves. ”

Yang Yushan asked, "Shopkeeper, are you often bullied by horse thieves here?" ”

"yes." The middle-aged woman said: "They are dressed the same as you, they are all outsiders, and they used to be here to do business, but since the sudden change in Loulan, those hateful outsiders have lost the ability to survive, and then they pointed the finger at us, those damn horse thieves have robbed us of our food, making our survival more and more difficult, originally there are many people living in this oasis, but they were killed by horse thieves and ran away, and finally became what it is now." ”

Hearing this, he immediately scolded: "It's really unreasonable, the situation is already so bad, those bastards still want to commit murder and evil, it's unforgivable!" ”

Mu Yanlan said: "Where are those horse thieves?" ”

Obviously, she was also angry.

In order to keep oneself alive at the cost of the lives of others, such evildoers must be eliminated.

These two women still have a strong sense of justice.

"I don't know." The middle-aged woman shook her head, "Strange to say, this oasis can be said to be the only oasis within a radius of a hundred miles, but those horse thieves never live here, they always leave as soon as they are finished, and they definitely don't stay here for more than half an hour!" ”

Su Yang asked, "Then how many days do they come here?" ”

The woman said: "Every ten days, very punctual. ”

After a pause, the woman added, "It's a misfortune that today is the tenth day, and because of this, the people in the town dare not go out, and they are afraid when they see the living." ”

I see!

Everyone was stunned.

Su Yang asked again: "When do they usually come?" ”

The woman said: "It will be dark, and at night, usually at that time, we will put food at the door, and those horse thieves will not kill people after they have gathered the food. ”

Su Yang nodded, he already had a plan in his heart, and he said slowly: "Store, we just arrived here, do you still have a guest room?" Prepare a few rooms for us, and some more food and drinks. ”

"There is a room, you can live in it yourself. But the food and wine ....... "the woman was in a bit of a quandary."

Su Yang said: "Forget about the wine and food, just have a place to live." ”

The woman hurriedly said, "Heroes, please." She was full of fear of Su Yang and the others, and after speaking, she kept a professional smile and stopped talking.

After all, they are game characters, and you can't ask too much of them.

"Let's go, go upstairs first!" Su Yang led the team towards the stairs on the side.

Due to the sparse population in the city, this inn has long lost its original function, and the guest rooms on the second floor have naturally not been cleaned for a long time, so it looks very dirty.

After a lot of effort, the group finally cleaned up the residence, opened the window and looked out, but saw that there were very few pedestrians on the street, even though it was still daylight, basically most of the doors of the house were closed tightly, I didn't know the reason before, but now they knew.

"It's so damnable!" Xiao Mei suddenly spoke, she sat down at the table very angrily, and said indignantly: "Those horse thieves are obviously keeping these people in captivity, treating these people as livestock that can provide food. ”

Mu Yilan also sat down, she looked at Su Yang's back, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tassel, shall we do it tonight?" ”

Su Yang turned around and said as he walked to the square table: "It depends on the situation, if those horse thieves really come tonight, don't startle the snakes first, and when those people return, we will follow them all the way to see where they are hiding!" ”

Mu Yilan was puzzled: "Brother Tassel wants to catch them all?" ”

Su Yang said: "Compared to this, I care more about where they live?" ”

There is a water source in such a place within a radius of 100 miles, can those horse thieves still live in the desert if they don't live here?

Also, why do those horse thieves suffer in this hot, dry desert? Wouldn't it be nice to get out of here? Even if you want to be a horse thief for nothing, should you choose a better place?

There are many suspicious points, and Su Yang can't be allowed not to be suspicious!

The night ghost said lightly: "Those horse thieves are strong, but they want to stay in this wild place to suffer, there must be something strange in this, follow those horse thieves to find their lair, maybe it can bring us unexpected gains." ”

Brother Tianxing Jiu gave a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Awesome, it's all a group of cattle, you actually think so much about doing a task, don't you feel tired on weekdays?" ”

Su Yang smiled: "Destiny is not an ordinary game, especially in the face of difficult tasks, it takes a lot of effort to solve the game puzzles!" ”
