Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 5 Painful Memories 1
Brother Li continued: "Now the Daolang clan believes that everything about them is given by the Snow Mountain. ”
Li Tong and I listened carefully to the words that Brother Li translated from the old man Maimaiti. I thought to myself, what does this have to do with the ancient kingdom of the Western Nights that we are looking for?
Call Brother Li out of the crowd. We walked to a corner in the middle of nowhere. Brother Li found a cigarette, and I asked, "Brother Li, do you know where this Western Night Country ruins are?" ”
Brother Li glanced at me nervously, then sighed and said, "Our Western Night Kingdom here has been destroyed a long time ago. It's not easy to find it now. But, after all, I've been here for so long. It's just ,......" Brother Li said half a sentence, but didn't finish the words.
When I heard this, I asked anxiously, "What's wrong?" Brother Li, is there anything you can't say about this? ”
Seeing that I was asking so eagerly, Brother Li moved his lips and said, "It's not that I can't say, it's just that there are still more than ten days away from here." I've been asked where I've been before, but after they went, they never came back. After Brother Li finished speaking, he sat on the ground and lit a cigarette and was silent.
At this time, not far from the tribe, a little green fire appeared. This kind of fire is the kind of ghost fire we saw in Mianyang Jiangyou before. Under the dark night sky, these dots of green ghost torches set off the distance even more secluded.
Standing still, I hesitated. The main concern is what dangers will be encountered in the desert. So I decided to discuss it with Li Tong and them.
The cannon was still busy around the grill, and Li Tong and the young girls were singing and dancing around the fire. I'm not going to talk about the itinerary for the time being.
I went back to the old man's house, and at this time, Brother Li looked at the young girls and young men singing and dancing beside the fire with a bright smile on his face.
"Your girlfriend is very nice!" Suddenly, Brother Li burst out with a sentence.
I was confused by this sentence and wanted to say something, but the words came to my mouth and swallowed again. Brother Li continued to say with a smile on his face: "You two are a good match, young people should hurry up." ”
I'm dizzy, when did you see that we were a good match? I felt a cry of aggrieved in my heart. But it was not good to sweep away Brother Li's excitement, and responded with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight, and everyone's faces were full of tiredness. Cannon and I, led by a young man, came to a house. And Li Tong lives next to us. The jubilation of this night, at this time, I want to get a good night's sleep.
After washing, I lay alone on the bed with my head on my hands, and I didn't want to sleep. In the evening, Brother Li's words aroused my interest. Although the group of people he mentioned said that they were looking for the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Night, the purpose was probably the same as ours, and it was also to find the treasures of the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Night.
Luckily, we have a human skin map in hand, so we'll have to put it to good use. But the immediate problem is how to find it, and the three of us are not enough, we have to have someone to lead the way. Otherwise, in this vast desert, the danger is not a joke.
Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.
Suddenly, I dreamed that my ear had been stung by something, and a sharp pain spread throughout my body. I immediately opened my eyes, only to see Li Tong sitting at the head of my bed with a smile on her face, one hand just over my ear.
My good sleep was disturbed by a little girl, and you can imagine how bad my mood was. I said impatiently, "Miss Li, what are you doing, I still want to sleep for a while." "After saying that, I shrank my head into me, so that I would not be teased by this girl again.
Li Tong said angrily: "I don't know what to do, don't get up quickly, you have slept all morning." We still have to hurry. After speaking, Li Tong left the room.
I hurriedly washed up and went out of the room, only to see that the two of them seemed to be discussing something. Seeing me coming out of the room, Li Tong said in a strange manner: "Yo, isn't this Young Master Ling Qi?" How do you sleep well in beauty sleep? ”
As soon as I heard it, how could this really be on my face? After listening to it for a while, I smiled and said, "I pay the most attention to maintenance, and I want to turn myself into a beautiful boy." Oops, Miss Li, you really didn't sleep well last night? Be careful of the old pearl yellow. Oh, no, it should be called a yellow-faced woman, I don't know if I can get married at that time. Ha ha! ”
When Li Tong heard me say this, he stomped his feet angrily. The cannon asked with a confused face: "What's wrong with you two?" Is it still early in the morning? I shrugged innocently.
After a while, I shouted the cannon and Li Tong aside and said, "Brother Li told me last night that there were also a bunch of people who went to look for the ruins of the ancient kingdom of the West Night, but they didn't come back. I feel that this Brother Li must have something to hide from us. So, I'll have to ask her around, and best of all if I can get him to continue to guide us. ”
Li Tong and Cannon agreed with me. As he was talking, Brother Li came out of the old man's house. I hurriedly said with a smile on my face: "Brother Li, how are you resting?" ”
"It's okay to rest." Brother Li looked at me as if he was worried. After saying that, he was about to leave the tribe.
I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What?" Brother Li, are you going to get out of here? Brother Li said apologetically: "Yes, these days, there are still some things at home." So, I'm going back to the county seat. ”
When I heard this, I was anxious and said, "Brother Li, let's go back to the county seat with you, after it's late." In this case, can you please show us the way to find the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Nights. How about we give you 10,000 yuan for the cost of leading the way this time? ”
Brother Li paused, gritted his teeth and said, "The road ahead is really dangerous. I advise you not to go. Otherwise, otherwise, ,......" Brother Li still didn't finish his sentence.
I stepped forward and grabbed Brother Li's hand and begged, "In this way, how about we give 20,000 yuan?" ”
After listening to my words, Brother Li squeezed out a wry smile and walked forward. I didn't bother to go back and pack my things, so I hurriedly stepped forward to stop Brother Li, for fear that I would miss Brother Li, a living map in the desert. At the same time, I took care of the cannon and stepped forward to grab Brother Li.
Maybe he was moved by our sincerity, or maybe he was helpless by the unreasonable fishy smell, so Brother Li had to stay where he was. Seeing this, I hurriedly went back to the room to pack up my things and the cannon, and when I came out, Li Tong had already left the room and trotted all the way.
I smiled again and said, "Brother Li, you see how fate we have, you can promise us." How about helping us? ”
Smiled helplessly, Brother Li had no choice but to agree to us. Seeing that Brother Li agreed to this matter so readily, a hope rose in our hearts, as if this treasure was in front of us.
"You, what are you going to do in the Ancient Kingdom of the Western Night?" After walking for a while, Brother Li suddenly asked. I hurriedly said, "I said a few days ago, in order to discover the culture of the Western Regions." ”
"Alas!" Brother Li took a breath of talk and continued: "Do you know that the ruins of the ancient kingdom of the Western Regions are not as good as other places. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to return. ”
As soon as I heard it, this Brother Li seemed to know more about the disappearance of the men's team back then, and asked, "Brother Lida, can you tell us the details of the disappearance of the pair of people and horses back then?" ”
