Three days later, Meng Chen and Alfred drove an oxcart and slowly left the Earth Dragon Valley through the gate of the parapet.

The cargo box of this ox cart contained fifty horses of cloth of various colors.

Each piece of cloth weighed 20 kilograms, and the cargo weighed a ton in total.

That's right!

Meng Chen planned to participate in the cattle taming festival in Manniu Village as a cloth merchant.

At this time, Meng Chen had also done disguise, if he wasn't quite familiar with someone, it would be difficult to see the flaws.

As for Alfred, as long as he wears a hat and lowers his head slightly, it is difficult for others to notice the strangeness of his eyes.

Lying on the cloth of the cargo box of the ox cart, Meng Chen said to Alfred, who was driving the car: "Alfred, you are not proficient in southern Xinjiang dialect, try not to speak in front of outsiders. ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred responded.

"That's right! Out of the Dragon Valley, stop calling me lord, call me boss! I'm a cloth merchant from afar - Stephen Hawking! As for your name...... Let's call it Ah Fu! Meng Chen patted his head and made a decision.

"Yes! Boss! Alfred nodded.

"Ah Fu, hurry up! We must arrive at Manniu Village before dark! Meng Chen laughed.

Following the narrow, recognizable path, Alfred drove the ox cart in the direction of Manniu Village.

There are two routes from Dilong Valley to Manniu Village, the long one is about 300 miles, and the short one is about 200 miles.

The Bull Taming Festival will officially start tomorrow and will last for three days, so Meng Chen is not in a hurry, so he chooses the relatively safe route.

According to the current speed of more than 30 miles per hour, if nothing else, it should be able to reach Manniu Village in the evening.

Now that it is the height of summer, Meng Chen, who was lying on the ox cart, looked at the blue sky in distraction, and sighed in his heart: "Since I came to this world, I have been working hard for survival, and it seems that I have never been so leisurely as now. If there were no beasts and evil moons in this world, I think it would be a very beautiful world, right? ”

Meng Chen, who had to spend the whole day on the road, and lost his freshness, dozed off boredly.

"Boss! Boss! ”

In a daze, Meng Chen seemed to hear Alfred's call.

Meng Chen rubbed his eyes, yawned and said, "What's the matter?" Could it be that you arrived in Manniu Village so soon? ”

Alfred whispered in Meng Chen's ear: "Boss, it's almost noon, there is a convoy resting in front of us, what should we do?" ”

"Convoy?" Meng Chen looked surprised and turned his head to look ahead.

I saw that more than 100 meters ahead, there was a convoy of six ox carts, which was enjoying the shade under a tree nearly 100 meters high at the moment.

Meng Chen thought for a moment and instructed Alfred to drive the ox cart and slowly drive towards the convoy.

Seeing a strange ox cart approaching, more than a dozen people next to the convoy immediately became vigilant.

Among the more than ten people in this team, most of them are young and strong men.

The leader of the convoy appeared to be a middle-aged man, and beside him stood a big-eyed girl, who looked like she should be about fifteen years old.

Meng Chen turned over and jumped out of the ox cart, and arched his hand towards the convoy not far away: "In the lower cloth merchant Hawking, may I ask you to go to Manniu Village to participate in the Cattle Taming Festival?" ”

The middle-aged man bowed his hand and replied, "Miyang of the contemptible Antler Village has seen Boss Huo, and we are indeed going to go to Manniu Village." ”

Meng Chen said with a smile: "Senior Mi, I am also preparing to go to Manniu Village, I wonder if Senior Mi is willing to let the ox cart accompany me?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at Meng Chen, glanced at Alfred who was driving the car, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”

"Thank you, senior!" Meng Chen immediately thanked him.

Then, Meng Chen lifted the tarpaulin of the ox cart and took out a big red cloth from it.

Meng Chen held this piece of fabric, came to Mi Yang, and said with a smile: "Mi senior, a little thank you is not a tribute!" ”

Seeing the whole piece of fabric handed over by Meng Chen, Mi Yang said with some hesitation: "This ...... It's too expensive! It's just a matter of walking along the way, Boss Huo doesn't have to be like this! ”

In southern Xinjiang, ordinary burlap is not worth much.

But colored linen cloth is four or five times more expensive.

And the price of colored fine fabrics is ridiculously expensive.

The fifty pieces of fabric that Meng Chen brought this time were all fine fabrics made of gray quality plant fibers and spun by tailors.

According to the market price in southern Xinjiang, such a piece of cloth is worth seven to eight silver knife coins.

Meng Chen directly stuffed the cloth into Mi Yang's hand, and said with a smile: "As a cloth merchant in the lower body, there is no more cloth than others." You're welcome! ”

At this time, the big-eyed girl beside Mi Yang flashed a trace of doubt in her eyes after seeing the bright red fabric.

The girl pulled Miyang's sleeve and said softly, "Dad, you take it first!" ”

Mi Yang, who was already hesitant, said with a smile on his face after hearing his daughter's words: "Since this is the case, then Mi is not welcome!" Thank you Boss Huo! ”

After sending out the cloth, Meng Chen and the people of Lujiao Village quickly became acquainted, and it didn't take long for them to start calling each other brothers.

Meng Chen used the excuse that he was participating in the Cattle Taming Festival for the first time, and found out a lot of information from the people of Antler Village.

It's just that Mi Yang's daughter Mi Lan seems to be very interested in Meng Chen, and has been staring at Meng Chen not far away.

This made Meng Chen very distressed, and secretly said in his heart: "My current appearance is not remarkable, why are there still girls interested in me?" Could it be that my handsome and dashing appearance can't even hide my disguise? ”

Being stared at by Mi Lan all the time, Meng Chen was a little uncomfortable, so he returned to his ox cart.

Alfred drove the ox carts, followed by the six ox carts in Antler Village, and drove towards the Cattle Village without a hurry.

The pale blue sun was setting in the west, and the time was fast approaching evening.

"Boss! Boss! In front of it is Manniu Village! Alfred's call rang in Meng Chen's ears.

"Uh...... Coming to Manniu Village? ”

Meng Chen straightened up, stretched, and looked towards the front of the ox cart.

Under the illumination of the setting sun, the valley mouth of the valley in the distance is dyed with a layer of red glow.

The village of Manniu is located in a valley called Desert.

The barren valley covers an extremely large area, with abundant water and grass, which is very suitable for raising livestock.

It is said that in addition to the Manniu Village, there used to be another village in the Barren Valley.

However, that village, in a fierce beast attack, was inexplicably destroyed.

The mouth of the valley is quite wide, five or six hundred meters long, and is blocked by a parapet wall ten meters high and four meters thick.

This parapet wall is made of earth, stone and wood, and compared to the smooth and beautiful retaining wall of Dilong Valley, the parapet wall of Barren Valley is very messy and ugly.

Outside the gate of the parapet and at the top of the parapet, dozens of guards from the Wild Cattle Village were standing at this moment, inspecting every ox cart that passed through the parapet.
