Chapter 417: Walking Through the Desert
The two guards came back to change their guards, Jiang Yao and Dongshuang went back to their rooms and asked for bath water.
Jiang Yao and Dongshuang woke up and came out, Xuanyi and a few guards were still pushing cups and changing lamps in the restaurant, they were completely free.
The next day, Jiang Yao and Dongshuang went to the street to buy goods, Xuanyi had a bitter face, and several guards vomited bitterness. Yesterday I was greedy for a cup, and today the alcohol is still on the top.
"Whoever started yesterday did a lot of harm." Xuanyi looked around at the few people around him.
"Girl, we said we were going to end, didn't you hold the wine jar and not let go?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm holding the wine jar to stop you from drinking, okay?"
Several people fought a drinking lawsuit in the back. Jiang Yao and Dongshuang stopped and stood in front of a door. Xuanyi hooked Jiang Yao's shoulder, stood on tiptoe and looked in, only to see a strong man, stretching his face.
The huge ball of noodles was very obedient in his hands, at the mercy of the strong man, the strong man repeatedly pounded and kneaded, the dough gradually lengthened, several people stood there, watching the dough in the strong man's hands, into noodles of uniform thickness.
The length of the noodles is more than a foot wide. Along the way, Xuanyi, who was churning in his stomach, watched the way the magical dough turned into noodles, and his appetite came.
"I want to eat noodles." Xuanyi ran into the store to order noodles.
I ordered a few bowls of noodles, and the steaming noodle soup was scattered with oil stars, chopped beef and green onions, and bright red peppers. The noodles are smooth and firm, with a full range of color and flavor.
Several people had already had breakfast at the inn, and in the face of the temptation of food, their index fingers moved, and the family had two bowls of noodles. Don't want to miss out on the delicious local specialties.
There are few silk villages in Qingtang City, and there are many clothing made of sheepskin and cowhide fabrics. One is that silk fabrics are shipped here in limited quantities, and the other is that silk clothes are beautiful but not practical. The most important point is people's spending power.
Jiang Yao and his entourage came to the silk village, and the family bought two sets of cotton and linen clothes, and the silk and satin clothes were expensive. and added supplies for life on the road.
After lunch, the group embarked on the journey again that day. The green color was gradually replaced by yellow sand, and the movement of horse-drawn carriages in the sand was somewhat hindered. The car was rolling in the sand, and the car was stuck and couldn't move.
The horses pulling the cart bowed their heads and exerted force, but unfortunately the wheels could not spin out in the sand. The horses were so anxious that they dug the sand.
"Stuck in the sand pit again." The guards reluctantly jumped off their horses, and several people stepped forward together,
"Up." With a loud roar, the horses' hooves scraped the sand hard, and the wheels rolled out of the pit.
The guards driving behind bypassed the car in front. "Hot death." Xuanyi sat upright on the horse, raised his sleeves to cover the unobstructed sunlight on his head, the sun was so enthusiastic that it was irresistible.
She untied the water bladder, tilted her head and poured a mouthful, shaking the water bladder to listen to the movement inside. And half a down. Water is the most precious thing in the desert, and she is reluctant to drink more, so she takes a long sip of water to moisten her smoking throat.
"Jiang Yao, hot people, what should I do?" Xuanyi muttered quietly, and he was reluctant to waste a mouthful of foam.
Jiang Yao shook his head and said that he could not do anything. They changed into light cotton and linen clothes and did not wear much.
A ruined building in the desert, "where to rest, to eat." Winterfrost commanded the guards there.
There was a rare shady place under the broken wall, where Xuanyi sat in the shade with her buttocks, and her fans scrambled to get her food and add water for her.
"It's good to have you." Xuanyi's eye waves are flowing with all kinds of styles.
Jiang Yao couldn't look past it and reminded her, "Don't fool these simple young people. ”56
Xuanyi has a pair of slightly rough jade hands, reluctant to waste water to clean, grasping flatbread, beef jerky with pickle strips.
"Where is the fool, we are drinking friends, and we are true friends who share weal and woe."
Several guards sat around Xuanyi and nodded in agreement, "Miss Xuanyi, we all like you." ”
Xuanyi; "See, they fooled me."
They feel happy with Xuanyi, and she can always tease them to be happy. Just like now, she jokes with them playfully, very cute, genuine, and not pretentious at all.
Even if he occasionally shows his charm to them, he also shows it in a natural way. Xuanyi took a nap in the shade after dinner.
"Get on the road." Commander Winter Frost said.
Xuanyi hung his head and shrunk into the shade, pretending not to hear. Winter Frost ignored her and beckoned everyone to get on the horse and drive.
"Winter Frost, you have no sympathy at all, you are hard-hearted."
Xuanyi's little fan brother didn't dare to come forward to help, they were afraid that Shuang Gongzi would lose his face. Jiang Yao cooperated with her to complete this ritual, and quietly listened to her accusation of Dongshuang's 'evil deeds'.
"Miss, please." Jiang Yao reached out to help her up and help her get on the horse. Without Jiang Yao's cooperation, Xuanyi would not have been entertaining himself.
As a woman, Dongshuang can't see the delicate appearance of a woman, and he can't get used to the weak appearance of needing to be taken care of by others. For Jiang Yao's actions to cooperate with Xuanyi, Dongshuang did not approve. I can't get used to her problems, there is still a long way to go.
The sun slowly moves to the west, and the heat gradually dissipates as the sun sinks in the west. On the western horizon is a pink sunset. Thousands of miles were deserted, only the group of them was driving towards the horizon reflected in the sunset.
"It's so beautiful, the vast sunset shining on the desert." Xuanyi looked at the sunset falling in the west.
Jiang Yao: "The desert sand is like snow, and the moon in Yanshan is like a hook." How to be a golden brain, riding a horse in the autumn. ”
It wasn't until it was completely dark and the crescent moon rose into the sky that the procession stopped.
The guards set up their tents, and everyone sat outside on the floor, the sand was still a little warm, and it was very comfortable to sit on.
Since stepping into the desert, the group has not washed their hands and faces. Water is like spring rain, and it is as expensive as oil. Three meals a day is the same food, and you don't feel monotonous when you're hungry.
The light of the crescent moon fell on the desert like a thin layer of frost on the sand.
Tonight's desert was rarely quiet, there was not a trace of wind, everyone was lying on the ground, and the two guards took turns to fight.
After a trek of more than ten days, the group came to Dunhuang. Dunhuang is a border city between the Tang Dynasty and Rouran.
Since the pre-Qin period, murals have been carved in the Dunhuang grottoes, but the scale of the project in the pre-Qin period is not large. It was also the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the five chaos were chaotic. Dunhuang has been repeatedly devastated by wars, and the murals of the Sixteen Kingdoms period were basically destroyed in the war.
The painstaking works of countless outstanding artistic talents and top craftsmen of the previous generation were destroyed in the war. It is a great loss to the historical and cultural circles of mankind.
Where the Tang Dynasty was established, murals were re-excavated in the Dunhuang Grottoes, in order to record all aspects of the cultural and economic life of the Tang Dynasty. Let future generations have the opportunity to see the style of the Tang Dynasty ruling the world.
Xuanyi loves art and goes to the grotto to admire the fine arts. The closer she was to Dunhuang, the more she couldn't wait. Finally arrived at the Dunhuang city gate, Xuanyi did not wait for everyone, and rode his horse to the city gate first.
The soldiers guarding the door were unaware of the fact that she could easily break in. "Stop, stop, grab the woman." The soldiers shouted and chased after Xuanyi.
