Section 76 Closed Towns

Maybe it was because of the guidance, early the next morning, Dong Yanping and I took the Sui Jiankai brothers and I to continue walking, still carving marks on the rock wall along the way, but this time we saw the exit of the Lost Soul Valley.

Saved and weeping with joy, I asked him, "Will you go on adventures with us when you leave here?" ”

He was stunned, and Dong Yanping said: "I will, no matter what the situation, I will be with you!" ”

I squeezed her hand, and then strode out of the Lost Soul Valley, Sui Jiankai also opened his backpack, and said: "Our dry food is just running out, and we can only hunt some prey to eat on the road!" ”

There is still some water in the saved skin, we are reluctant to waste it, so we don't wash our faces, all of them are unkempt, Dong Yanping tried her best to cover her face with sunglasses and masks.

We followed the path we had come from and walked back, over the mountains.

The next morning, we came to a river and stopped to wash our faces.

Sui Jiankai asked me: "Xiaolan, why do I feel that the road is wrong?" ”

Salvation echoed: "Was there a river on the way we came?" ”

Dong Yanping shook her head.

"We must have gone the wrong way, Xiaolan, are you taking the wrong path again?"

I didn't argue, Sui Jiankai said: "It doesn't matter, as long as there is water, there must be people, but are we going up the river or downstream?" ”

Filled with water, I calmly said, "We crossed the river and kept going, because I saw the way!" ”

"Where there is a way, someone walks!"

They didn't question it anymore, but they followed me, the sky was overcast, there was no sun, and soon it was foggy, and there was no one on the other side of the fog.

I took Dong Yanping's hand with my left hand and Sui Jiankai with my right hand, and when I was saved, I shouted to us: "Where is the road? I felt like I was walking up a hill with rocks under my feet! ”

But I didn't have time to answer him, because I heard Zawang's voice in my ears: "You close your eyes, and then open them again!" ”

I did as he said, and when I opened my eyes, there was already a thread of wool on my right wrist, and this white thread went straight forward, and a slight force pulled me forward in the thick fog.

"Follow me, don't be left behind!"

Dong Yanping's hands were soft, and she followed closely beside me. Sui Jiankai was next to my right hand, and I was still holding my hand, but I didn't notice that there was already an extra yarn on my wrist.

I don't know how long I walked, but a cool breeze blew, blowing away the thick fog, and there was a shouting sound from ahead.

As they all looked ahead, I quickly untied the yarn from my wrist and quickly withdrew the yarn from the other end.

We were amazed to find that there was a small town in front of us, this town is very distinctive, a bit like a mountain town, the houses are built vertically, and the top of this house is in front of another house.

It is not surprising that this is a hilly and mountainous area, with steep mountains and scarce flat land, and all the buildings are built on the mountain, and the materials used are also locally sourced, with large stones and small stones.

Following the rough stone trail, we entered the town.

The gable of the house at the entrance of the town is painted with red paint with the three big characters "Zhima Town", I deliberately looked towards the roof of the house, in the place where wood is scarce and there is no cement prefabricated board, what should people use to make the roof?

But out of the door came a young woman dressed in blue national costume and looked at us with a puzzled look.

Dong Yanping hurriedly let go of my hand and greeted the girl: "Hello, what kind of place is this?" ”

The other party slowly introduced in non-standard Mandarin: "This is Zhima Town, how did you come here?" ”

"I led the way, is there a place to eat in the town?" I asked the girl.

The other party said: "Of course there is, if you go up the mountain road, there will be a mutton restaurant, you said that it was introduced by Namu Xiuli, and the boss will give you a discount!" ”

I thanked her, and went on with my companion, looking at the girl with some reluctance.

The door of the second house was closed, and the third was an old woman sitting in the doorway sorting wool.

As we walked up the mountain road, a smell of mutton greeted us, and Sui Jiankai said: "I can find a restaurant, I'm almost hungry!" ”

There is a large iron pot in front of this restaurant on the side of the road, and the mutton soup inside is tumbling.

There were several people sitting in the store, all of whom were immersed in eating.

In charge of the spoon was a short and fat strong man with a thick beard, and when he saw us coming, he greeted: "Guests, please come inside, there is a vacant seat upstairs!" ”

His accent was a bit Xichuan flavor, but I could still understand it, so he said, "Boss, let's have four bowls of mutton soup first, and the cake will also be served!" ”

The boss answered, and I added: "It was Namu Xiuli at the entrance of the town who introduced us!" ”

The guest who was eating with his head down raised his head at the same time and said, "She introduced us to me too!" ”

The guests were all fresh-faced, and a guy with a white towel on his shoulder greeted us: "Guests upstairs, please, upstairs is spacious!" ”

We went up the stone stairs to the second floor, which was spacious, with stone tables and chairs, and open windows, and I immediately picked a seat by the window, but was saved and grabbed it, saying, "I need to breathe some fresh air, I can't stand this sheep's breath!" ”

The young man frowned and continued to ask us: "There are still cold dishes and liquor in the shop!" ”

Sui Jiankai hurriedly said: "Let's bring all kinds of cold dishes on a plate, and bring up any drinks together!" ”

The man answered, and turned and went downstairs.

Dong Yanping asked: "You order so much, can you finish eating?" ”

Meng was saved and responded: "Of course you can, if you can't eat it, you can still pack it!" ”

I fumbled in my pocket, and there was only a bank card left with less than 500 yuan in change, thinking that it should be enough to pay for food.

The meal was served quickly, and we were not polite and quickly devoured it.

The shopkeeper brought another stone altar, opened the mud seal, and the aroma of wine wafted out.

Meng Salvation and Sui Jiankai poured wine and drank proudly, Dong Yanping frowned, and the shopkeeper said to her: "Beauty, you must not drink, I have prepared milk for you!" ”

He untied a leather bag from his waist and uncorked it, revealing the smell of milk.

Dong Yanping drank the milk with great satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper: "Let your boss settle the account, and prepare some dry food and drinks for us on the road, and settle the bill together!" ”

The shopkeeper answered, turned around and went downstairs.

I looked out the window and saw the window open in the opposite room, and a familiar person was waving to me. I looked carefully and found that it was Murong Ying.

So I hurriedly stood up, but Murong Ying quickly disappeared.

Sui Jiankai asked me, "What's the matter, keep eating?" ”

I answered, covering up: "I ate too fast, a little choked!" ”

Dong Yanping hurriedly poured a bowl of milk for me.

We went downstairs after eating and drinking, and the boss crackled the abacus in the counter, and then said: "A total of five hundred and ten yuan nine corners and eight cents, and you give five hundred yuan when you touch it!" ”

Dong Yanping went to her pocket to take out the money, and I had already handed the money to the boss.

Meng Salvation and Sui Jiankai brought dry food and drinks, and prepared to continue on the road, I said to the two of them: "Let's not leave today, stay in the town!" ”

Dong Yanping raised her wrist to look at her watch and asked: "But it's not even twelve o'clock yet!" ”

I insisted, "Everyone is tired, we need to take a break!" Salvation agreed.

So I took my companion and walked towards the opposite house, the sign at the door said "Explorer's House", and Namu Xiuli stood at the door and greeted us: "All the guests have eaten, okay?" ”

Sui Jiankai responded, and I said: "Open two rooms, we will stay overnight!" ”
