Chapter 436: Bow (2)
An Xiaoyu's grandfather's family is in this legendary bow tribe, and I heard that they did not worship the sand god in the very beginning of history, but sacrificed to the steel god of war, which is very confusing.
She also once guessed if the person who discovered this place and began to settle down was the legendary middle two disease?
The speed of the sand cart is not covered, and it didn't take long for An Xiaoyu and them to pass through several nearby tribes, and when it was evening, they finally reached the bow tribe. According to the previous habit, the one who came to greet An Xiaoyu outside the tribe was An Xiaoyu's cousin Li Pingnan.
An Xiaoyu's grandfather has two men and one woman under his knees, and An Xiaoyu's mother is the second oldest, so An Xiaoyu has two uncles here, the eldest uncle and the younger uncle. The two uncles each gave birth to sons, that is, An Xiaoyu's cousin and cousin.
The eldest cousin, Li Pingnan, is the son of the eldest uncle, and he has been playing for a month, and now he is also in college, although he was not admitted to any key universities, he also went to a second-tier school, which is the same as the level of the second army academy of Chi Mo and the three of them, which is not bad.
Cousin Li Pingxi, four years younger than An Xiaoyu, younger than An Xiao'an, the fourth in the family, and now still in junior high school, a little guy with a tiger head and a tiger brain, looks very likeable.
Because they rarely see each other, although the relationship between An Xiaoyu and them is not too close, they are also a family, and they are very open to each other.
The eldest cousin, Li Pingnan, was standing at the entrance of the tribe, and when he saw An Xiaoyu and their sand car coming, he hurriedly drove a motorcycle to meet him, and after a few words of greeting, the five of them began to walk towards the house.
An Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding scenery and found that after not seeing each other for a year, the appearance of the bow tribe seemed to have changed somewhat, but some familiar things were still there, allowing An Xiaoyu to see the memories of the past.
Li Pingnan came back after half a year of school, compared to his previous appearance, he was a little more stable, and he also began to become talkative, along the way he talked to An Xiaoyu's parents about the changes in the boathead tribe this year, as well as the things in his grandfather's family.
You must know that Li Pingnan before was also a stuffy gourd, he only knew how to read and study all day long, and the whole person was immersed in his own world, which always made his uncle and them worried, and felt that Li Pingnan would be useless in the future, so he could only be a scholar.
As a result, I didn't expect that Li Pingnan was just the type who was very dull in front of his parents, and he was exceptionally sunny and lively outside, and now that he has gone to college without concealment, it naturally makes their eyes shine.
However, what made An Xiaoyu's eyes shine was not the change in Li Pingnan's personality, after all, the three of them have occasionally played together since they were children, and they are all clear in their hearts who is virtuous. And what made An Xiaoyu pay more attention was the light in Li Pingnan's eyes.
This kind of essence is very familiar to An Xiaoyu, and Lu Yuqi, who lives in the same house with her, has this look in her eyes when she talks about Wei Qingxuan. And recently, when Wei Qingxuan talked about Lu Yuqi, he also looked like this.
It seems that the change in the table has something to do with some special person?
But An Xiaoyu didn't start asking such a thing rashly, Li Pingnan deliberately didn't take the initiative to talk to him just now, and Bacheng still had some scheming in his heart.
After all, the two of them are the same age, the difference is only a month, and they are a family, so they are often compared together in the past, and the two of them are honest, they were also equal in the previous time, so the results of each comparison are not much different.
As a result, An Xiaoyu was "admitted" to the Three Thousand Academy at once, and no one can withstand this kind of gap!
So when two people meet again, it is estimated that it is better to adapt to each other.
Not long after, the family arrived at my grandfather's house, outside was a store selling all kinds of daily groceries, and in the middle was a small courtyard, and on the opposite side of the small courtyard was my grandfather's house.
In the bow tribe, the people who can live inside the wreckage of the empty ship are naturally very high-status existences, not rich and powerful local tyrants, or the descendants of the first generation of the bow tribe, or the stationed officials sent by the empire.
With conditions like Li Pingnan's house, it is still very difficult to enter the interior of the empty ship.
However, it is not that these people can't feel what is really going on inside the empty ship, the bow of the empty ship is huge, and the whole is divided into two areas, one is a public area and the other is a residential area.
Several passages have been opened throughout the public area, and several floors of the empty ship have been transformed into commercial areas where you can enter and exit at will, and the deepest position, separated by several cavities, has become a habitable area, and those who are in high positions and powerful live in these places where the wind and sand cannot blow.
An Xiaoyu where they are now is the public area of the space.
When you come to the bow tribe, you must go to the place where you have to go, which is the empty ship night market. This commercial trading area, which is open to midnight in the public area at the bow of the empty ship, not only has special products from all over the Eastern Wilderness, but also many treasures from the Central Plains that the people of the Eastern Wilderness have never seen.
Of course, these high-end goods are for high-end people.
An Xiaoyu used to worry about some relatively low-priced toys and accessories for a long time, and they didn't know what to buy. When she was at the Shahai base, An Xiaoyu lied to Chi Mo that she had lost a butterfly hairpin, not just made it up, she did lose one like this, and she was distressed for several days at the time, it was the gift that her uncle bought for her in the night market.
Every time he came to the Chuantou tribe before, An Xiaoyu had to go to the night market with his cousin Li Pingnan and cousin Li Pingxi, although he rarely bought anything, but he could see a lot of novel goods from the Central Plains and other tribes, and his heart was filled with joy.
And the night market of the Chuantou tribe is their tradition, open for seven days every year, open until eleven or twelve o'clock in the middle of the night every day, although they are doing business, but also to celebrate the New Year, just like the fireworks in the East Wilderness, such a trade fair, the same is a link that brings all the people of the East Wilderness together.
Therefore, the people of the boat head tribe are devout to the night market, even if you are penniless, even if you are in rags, as long as you have a fancy to something, whether you can afford it or not, the vendors will enthusiastically introduce you to the source and function of this goods.
An Xiaoyu and they did not accept the other party's kind answers before, which made them gain a lot of knowledge.
But now that she has come to the night market of the Chuantou tribe again, An Xiaoyu feels a little like a world away. Looking at the many things in the stall and storefront, An Xiaoyu was no longer interested, and even many of them were quite low-level existences in An Xiaoyu's opinion.
On the contrary, Li Pingxi, who has not yet entered high school, maintains the enthusiasm they had back then, running around the night market, looking at this, touching that, listening to the stall owner tell the story and use of these things, and his eyes exude a new light.
At this time, Li Pingnan and An Xiaoyu, who were following him, glanced at each other, and suddenly laughed, and the previous embarrassment disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Li Pingnan said: "When I came here in the past, I thought that the so-called imperial capital and the Central Plains were nothing more than places where you could see these things everywhere, and the rest were probably no different from the Eastern Wilderness, but after arriving in the Central Plains, I found that everything was different. ”
An Xiaoyu nodded and did not speak.
"You are in the imperial capital, and your level must be higher than mine, are you not used to it when you first go?" Li Pingnan thought of all the ugliness he made when he first arrived at school, and asked with a smile.
An Xiaoyu thought about it, she came to the imperial capital with that kind of mood, and there were many friends from the Eastern Wilderness who spent a month with her in the entire Three Thousand Academy without people, and probably didn't feel anything uncomfortable, this is the clever means of the Three Thousand Academy?
"I went early, and I brought a special person, which is good."
Li Pingnan sighed: "The Three Thousand Academy is really a big family, and the students of the Eastern Wilderness still have special people to take it, so I will be miserable!" When I arrived at school, it was normal to start school, I didn't even know how to use the terminal, and the first time I went to the dormitory, I stood at the door for half a day and didn't figure out how to get in. ”
As he spoke, Li Pingnan suddenly laughed, this kind of embarrassment is really like a joke now.
An Xiaoyu also laughed and said: "I'm almost the same, I saw the glass curtain wall of the Three Thousand Books Sea in the Three Thousand Academy at that time, and I was still grimacing on it, but I was seen by a senior." ”
"Three thousand books...... Li Pingnan sighed a little yearningly, and asked, "And then that senior chased you?" ”
"He did chase me, but it didn't take long for him to give up."
"Why did you give up?" Li Pingnan wondered, his sister is a first-class beauty, and someone would take the initiative to give up?
"Because my current boyfriend beat his dad?" An Xiaoyu thought of the first time she went shopping with the administrator, Jin Dongliu was so frightened by him that he raised his hand, he couldn't be too embarrassed, no wonder Jin Changfeng didn't come to find him later.
Li Pingnan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to even have a boyfriend." ”
"Aren't you too?" An Xiaoyu looked at Li Pingnan with a smile.
So the brother and sister exchanged a look with each other that you understand, and stopped continuing the topic.
"Speaking of chasing you, do you remember the one on the bow of the boat called Sansong?" The two of them followed Li Pingxi, who was bouncing in front, and Li Pingnan suddenly asked.
An Xiaoyu thought about it carefully, and finally pulled out a guy with a face full of acne bubbles and pretending to be forced all day long from his mind: "Is that the kid with a pimple on his face?" ”
"People are not full of pimples now, but now they are moisturized! And a few days ago, he was recruited by the imperial military, saying that he was going somewhere to participate in the work of the military, and after working there, he was directly assigned a good position, and if he was lucky, he could go to Dongyun. ”
"Good luck!" An Xiaoyu sighed, but she really couldn't say anything, mainly because she is now a member of the mecha army, and her military rank is at least captain, a small migrant worker......
"The key is not good luck, the key is that he is beautiful now, do you remember that he still wanted to chase you at that time?" Li Pingnan said.
An Xiaoyu was stunned: "I...... I don't know! Is there such a thing? ”
"I'm guessing you don't know, you weren't the only one who was playing with us at the time. He was so obvious at the time......"
"Is it obvious?" An Xiaoyu thought about it, but she really didn't have any impression: "I don't think so?" ”
Li Pingnan smiled: "It's not strange, he was full of pimples on his face at that time, I looked disgusting, you don't think it's strange." ”
An Xiaoyu nodded: "Maybe, the main reason is that I really didn't feel anything about this kind of thing at that time, what kind of men and women, no enlightenment." ”
"Then how did you get the hang of it?" Li Pingnan glanced at An Xiaoyu with a little meaning.
But An Xiaoyu didn't care about her cousin's teasing, looked at Li Pingxi in the distance, and said with a hint of emotion: "People will always change, right?" ”
Li Pingnan didn't expect An Xiaoyu to show this state, and he had a little understanding in his heart, it seems that his cousin, who was carefree before, has also experienced a lot of things after going to the imperial capital! It's just that because no one can say it, it's usually hidden in my heart.
After walking around the night market with Li Pingxi for more than an hour, Li Pingxi seemed to be a little tired, An Xiaoyu bought him some snacks, and Li Pingxi ate carefully as if he had got a baby.
Although he has a lot of money in his hand, An Xiaoyu didn't buy him too much, according to Li Pingnan, the children of the Eastern Wilderness should be poor, this is a tradition, and when he grows up, he will know what kind of benefits thrift will bring him from an early age.
An Xiaoyu also agrees with this.
Just when the three of them were looking for a place to rest, as soon as Li Pingnan looked up, he saw a person walking over from a distance, and whispered to An Xiaoyu: "It's really said that whoever is here will come, Sansong is here." ”
An Xiaoyu followed Li Pingnan's eyes and saw a very handsome man among the people of the Eastern Wilderness walking over from a distance, wearing a slightly dusty overalls with the badge of the Military Commission on it.
This is the Three Verses? An Xiaoyu looked at his face, and it really didn't match the guy with acne bubbles on his face before.
But looking at his appearance and style, you can know that he is still the same as before. Because of the work clothes he was wearing, he really blinked a little, especially in this kind of night market of the Eastern Wilderness, no one would run such neat clothes.
As for the dust on it...... What dust do the people of the Eastern Wilderness still care about?
Soon, Sansong walked in front of An Xiaoyu and Li Pingnan, looked down at Li Pingnan and An Xiaoyu sitting on the chair, and then looked at Li Pingxi, who was sitting next to him eating snacks, and greeted him with a smile: "I didn't expect to see you here." ”
An Xiaoyu said in her heart, sure enough.
Sansong This guy obviously has a better relationship with Li Pingnan, but he directly told An Xiaoyu that he saw you here, and he noticed that it was not you who were talking about.
Since he was a former playmate, although Sansong was a little sassy, at least he wasn't so annoying, and An Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't be hostile to him, so he said with a smile: "Yes, long time no see." ”
Sansong didn't expect An Xiaoyu to be so cooperative, and he was immediately a little happy in his heart, and suddenly became enthusiastic, turned around and called a few of his companions, and introduced An Xiaoyu and Li Pingnan to them, saying that they were his friends.
The four friends of Sansong don't seem to be from the Eastern Wilderness, they are probably all from Dongyun, or they are the kind of middle tribe that is mixed together.
Sure enough, after Sansong finished the introduction, he said to An Xiaoyu: "These are my new friends on the construction site, they are all from Dongyun, this time I heard that I went home, so I came over to visit the night market, you are also going to school outside, you should all have a common language." ”
Listening to Sansong saying that An Xiaoyu and Li Pingnan are both people who go to school outside, and there is one in the Three Thousand Academy, they naturally don't underestimate it, and looking at Sansong's appearance, it is estimated that it is also a little interesting to An Xiaoyu, so they all greeted politely one by one, and several people found a place to sit down and chatted casually.
Li Pingnan naturally has no resistance, but Li Pingxi, a little guy, looks very sensitive, and has been staring at Sansong with his eyes, as if he knows that Sansong is plotting against An Xiaoyu, licking the rock sugar gourd with his tongue, and he doesn't know what he is thinking in his heart.
"I heard you know you're on a construction site quite far away?" An Xiaoyu asked casually.
It seems that this matter is not a secret, Sansong said directly: "It's really quite far, probably in the middle of this side and Dongyun, on the edge of the train line, there is a mining base at the beginning, and it is said that the mine below is going to be renovated, and the people who came in and pulled it in." ”
"Are there no other tribes over there? Just enter the capital and enter the bow of the ship? Li Pingnan has always been curious about this issue.
"Hey! Those tribes over there, either they are not open to traffic, or there is no station, even if they recruit people, do they drive sand cars to work? So how to manage it as a whole? Sansong said, keeping his eyes sneaking at An Xiaoyu.
An Xiaoyu's heart moved, and asked, "Is it a base for copper and iron mines?" There are three floors, and the top one has the farmland? ”
Sansong was amazed: "How do you know? After finishing speaking, he suddenly said: "You saw it when you came back from vacation, right?" That's it, that base on the train line from here to Shinonome. ”
Li Pingnan also suddenly said: "It turned out to be that, I saw it when I came back, it was quite spectacular at the beginning, but now it is not the same as it is." ”
"Yes, but we mainly dismantle the outside, it is said that there are special people in charge of it, and they are all sealed and not allowed to let us in, I guess it is a state secret or something! Tsk, when will I be able to mix up to the point of knowing state secrets? ”
As a result, a friend of his next to him hit him and said, "You still want to know state secrets?" The state probably doesn't bother to know your secrets! ”
"Go, go, go! you, wait for Lao Tzu to be the first one to let you brush the toilet for me one day! ”
A few people were fighting, An Xiaoyu looked at Sansong, but her heart began to calculate.
What a great opportunity!
