Chapter 180: Snatching Back the Cottage
Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin, after simply cleaning up, hastily ate a few bites of lunch, and then helped to leave the inn. Before leaving, Dongfang Yi also deliberately asked the inn's shopkeeper for the direction.
"Little Er, check out." Dongfang Yi put the silver on the table.
"Okay, it's eight cents in total." The shopkeeper shouted skillfully and ran over.
"This is a tael of silver, no need to look for it, by the way, I will ask you about something." Dongfang Yi generously handed the silver to the shopkeeper.
"Thank you, officer, if you have any questions, just say it." The shopkeeper eagerly put away the silver, and the service attitude was excellent.
"This is the city of Meaux, how come it looks deserted, and I don't see any businessmen passing by." Dongfang Yi looked at your temporary guests and asked.
"The guest officer doesn't know, this is the boundary of Mocheng, but there is still some distance from the center of Mocheng, this is just a place for merchants to rest, you go ten miles further, you will reach the center of Mocheng, where it is prosperous and lively."
The shopkeeper patiently explained, and told Dongfang Yi the correct route, and pointed out a clear distance to them, so as not to lose their way when they hit the road.
"Thank you." Dongfang Yi nodded suddenly in understanding.
"Why, are you two people who plan to do business in Meaux?" The shopkeeper asked curiously.
"No, we're here to visit relatives, and we heard that Mo's city is lively, so let's stop by and have a look." Dongfang Yi glanced at the people at the table next to him and seemed to have something wrong with their expressions, so he vetoed the purpose of coming here this time.
"Then you have come to the right place, this Mo City, but the most lively place in our Western Regions, drunk and gold-addicted......" The shopkeeper began to gush about the place where he was born and raised.
Dongfang Yi just smiled and nodded in agreement.
When I was in the room, I discussed with Nalan Jin that everything on this trip should be arranged by Dongfang Yi, because she was frizzy and spoke straightforwardly.
As long as she speaks, she can always be heard by others that she has an extroverted accent. Therefore, Nalan Jin has always regarded herself as a deaf and mute person, and she nodded dangerously throughout the whole process.
"Thank you."
Listening to the shopkeeper's tirade for a long time, Dongfang Yi listened to him with a wry smile, apologized politely, and left with Nalan Jin.
When he walked to the door, because a snake with a guest suddenly ran out, Nalan Jin shouted in panic.
"Ah, there are snakes!" Nalan Jin jumped into Dongfang Yi's arms in fear.
"I'm sorry." The guest hurried over and grabbed the snake and put it back in its cage.
Nalan Jin's shout made the two big men at the table next to them look at them with a face full of meat, and one of them had a scar on his face, and immediately turned his head sideways and shifted his gaze to Nalan Jin's body.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, it's not like Su Yan's snake hasn't been seen before." Dongfang Yi hugged Nalan Jin to comfort him, and didn't pay attention to the people next to him.
"Although Su Yan's snake is poisonous, it looks very kind. But this
It doesn't seem to be a good kind at the time. This place is horrible by all accounts, so let's get out of here. ”
Nalan Jin looked around the inn in fear, always feeling like a man-eating demon cave.
Maybe it's because the frightened bird was frightened by the urgent knock on the door in the morning, and has not come back to his senses until now.
"Okay, let's go, bear with me, I'll be in Meaux at once, I've heard that there are a lot of strange things there, and I'll let you buy enough at once."
Dongfang Yi rubbed Nalan Jin's shoulders and smiled lightly to comfort. Unexpectedly, it gave those two people a chance.
The two men rode in a caravan and walked less than half the distance. The wind and sand made Nalan Jin feel thirsty and thirsty, and his eyes were also unable to see the direction clearly.
"Is there any water in the East?" Nalan Jin asked hoarsely.
"Wait."
Dongfang Yi came down and handed the water bag tied behind her back to Nalan Jin, and she had just taken a sip when she heard the sound of screaming in her ears. looked at Dongfang Yi's puzzled eyes in horror.
Obviously, what Dongfang Yi had been worried about still happened.
In the depths of this desert, there is no village in front of the village and no shop behind it. As soon as Nalan Jin swallowed the water in his mouth, he was quickly surrounded by a group of camels.
Nalan Jin subconsciously grabbed Dongfang Yi's arm, and he took her hand to comfort her not to panic and be afraid.
"East." Nalan Jin shouted in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid, calm down, maybe they don't know who we are." Dongfang Yi always has a hint of luck.
The person who took the lead looked at him with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance was barely passable. It's just that the full beard makes him look a little vicious.
From the moment they walked over, the horse thief led by him did not leave Nalan Jin for a moment, looking from head to toe, although Nalan Jin's face was covered with a veil.
But it still can't hide the kind of temperament that Nalan Jin herself stands out from, the temperament that makes people fall in love at first sight.
"A few uncles, we're just going to visit relatives in Meaux." Dongfang Yi explained.
"Have you spoken? If you know each other, hand over the money, maybe you can spare your life if you are happy. The scar-faced horse thief yelled and threatened Dongfang Yi.
The horse thief led by him didn't speak, just looked at Nalan Jin silently. There is no grass in the desert, dust is flying all over the sky, and suddenly I see a red flower in a corner, which naturally attracts attention and is liked by others.
Dongfang Yi thought that the horse thief led by him was eyeing the burden on their bodies, so he took off the burden on his body and threw it into the arms of the horse thief.
Scarface opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, the money inside caught his attention, and his eyes were full of golden light, and he happily showed off to the horse thief led by him.
"Big boss, look, we have made a fortune this time, and all of them are yellow goods." Scarface was overjoyed and picked up the gold bar and bit it, leaving two shallow tooth marks on it, and smiled contentedly and showed it to the horse thief led by him.
The horse thief at the head just glanced at it, and quickly shifted his gaze again
Nalan Jin's body.
Dongfang Yi noticed that the horse thief was Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, which meant Pei Gong. subconsciously pulled Nalan Jin's arm to block her in front of her.
"Uchiko has been feeling unwell recently, and this time I took her to visit relatives in Mocheng to find a doctor for her to treat her stubborn illness for many years." Dongfang Yi casually made up a reason, hoping that the horse thief who took the lead could dispel the thoughts in his heart.
The horse thief who took the lead was like a deaf and dumb man, and remained silent. Whether it's seeing yellow goods, or facing two ant-like people in front of you.
"Take the goods with the woman." The horse thief who took the lead said a word, turned and rode away on a camel caravan.
"This uncle, she is really sick and can't take it away." Dongfang Yi opened his arms to protect Nalan Jin.
"Dongfang, what should I do?" Nalan Jin kept dodging.
"Jin'er, run, I'll drag them, don't look back, don't care about me, keep running in this direction, do you hear?" Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin, who was about to cry, seriously.
"No, Dongfang, let's go together, the two of us run away together." Nalan Jin pulled Dongfang Yi's arm, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Seeing those horse thieves approaching step by step, it was impossible for the two of them to escape. Dongfang Yi thought to himself in his heart, he couldn't watch Nalan Jin have an accident in front of his eyes.
The lesser of two evils, Dongfang Yi can only use his body to protect Nalan Jin's thoughtfulness.
"Jin'er, look at me and listen to me carefully! You've got to get out of here safely, and when you're gone, I won't have any burden, and getting out will be a breeze for me, you know? Dongfang Yi dragged Nalan Jin's head and made her look directly into her eyes.
"Dongfang, don't, let's go together." Nalan Jin said crying.
"Understand, just do what I say, I'll count to three and run."
Dongfang Yi grabbed Nalan Jin's hand, looked at the horse thieves around him, looked around, and finally found a breakthrough, and squeezed Nalan Jin's hand tightly.
"One, two, three, run!" Dongfang Yi counted silently in his heart, and suddenly shouted.
Nalan Jin hesitated for a long time when he grabbed Dongfang Yi. With tears in his eyes, he turned and ran away.
Dongfang Yi was caught and beaten by Ma Chen, and then went to chase Nalan Jin, Dongfang Yi also tried his best to keep those horse thieves, and in the end they were all scarred.
In the end, Nalan Jin was surrounded and grabbed the camel team, she kept struggling, shouting Dongfang Yi's name loudly, watching him fall to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and tears flowed down disobediently.
"Dongfang, Dongfang, you let me go." Nalan Jin struggled and bit the scarface.
"Ahh If it's against you, you dare to bite the master. Scarface shouted and slapped Nalan Jin angrily, and she immediately fainted.
"Jin'er, you let her go."
Dongfang Yi watched vaguely as Nalan Jin fainted in front of him and was taken away by the horse thief. As she was dying, she crawled a few steps forward before fainting in the desert
Village.
The horse thief happily returned to his territory, and after a while, he went to those little minions, and some ordinary-looking women surrounded him.
"Take that woman away, serve her, groom her up, and she will be your future wife." The horse thief at the head looked at Nalan Jin, who had fainted, and said.
"Yes, Lord."
Several women obeyed the order to take Nalan Jin down and help her groom and dress up. Then he locked her up in a room, where several women had also been snatched up the mountain.
"We didn't go out in vain this trip, the boss not only got a woman, but also got so many yellow goods, this trip is worth it." Scarface flattered in front of the horse thief at the head.
"I don't have the reason to go back to the cottage empty-handed, to enrich the brothers, put on a banquet, and I want to get married one day." Dao Batian propped one hand on his knee triumphantly.
"Then I will wish my eldest brother happiness like a fairy in advance, and the spirit of Ryoma will definitely add a little master to us." Scarface congratulated him.
Hahaha......
Scarface's words obviously spoke to the heart of the knife tyrant, and he laughed loudly when he acted, and everyone else was complacent.
