Chapter 112: Ghost City in the Western Regions (3)

A group of people just sat or stood, waiting in front of the Yumen Pass - because of the limitations of language, region, race, etc., my grandfather, the two foreigners, and the Westerners, went their own way.

My grandfather gathered a small group on the south side of the city gate, and the foreigners gathered together in a small group on the north side of the city gate, and the two people from the Western Regions stood guard next to the camel caravan outside the city.

The three groups of people were chatting about their own, although they were a team at the moment, they were a bit of a dead and old age. The eyes of those foreigners glanced at the main road east of Chengguan from time to time, as if they were anxious for the so-called "sand wolf" people to arrive as soon as possible.

In a blink of an eye, an hour passed, but there was no figure on the road east of the city, it was still empty, and no one knew when the so-called "sand wolf" would arrive.

My grandfather whispered to Xiao Laodao: "The shelf of the 'sand wolf' ticket is quite large, and it has passed the appointed time, and there is no one yet." ”

Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "'Sand Wolf' is not as good as our Central Plains, they not only dig up the soil, but also rob the house to collect the money from the past merchants to buy the road, as long as there is oil and water, they will intervene, in addition to the "Sand Wolf" big boss and two masters, there are four big King Kongs in this ticket, eight big shopkeepers, all of them are quick and ruthless, killing people without blinking, and the eight big shopkeepers are under their hands, and they are in charge of dozens of people, adding up to three or four hundred people. ”

"Isn't this a ringing horse?" My grandfather said.

Xiao Laodao waved his hand, "They don't call these people horses, they call them beards." Xiao Laodao continued: "The radius of Yumen Pass is their territory for hundreds of miles, and the foreigners invited the people of the "sand wolf" to join the expedition, but they were also afraid that the people of the "sand wolf" would interfere with it. ”

Since that time in Shandong, my grandfather is most afraid of hearing words like "ringing horses", but when I heard Xiao Laodao say that the group of "sand wolves" were playing face on foreigners, I felt a little better.

My grandfather looks down on these foreigners in his heart, if it weren't for Xiao Laodao's face, he would never be a pawn for foreign devils.

After waiting for another half an hour, the fiery red sun climbed to the center of the sky, and when I looked at the hour, it was already noon. At this moment, although it has entered the golden autumn of September, the temperature here is still hot, especially at noon, the light of the white flowers makes people's scalps hot.

At this time, the employer, George, asked the foreign monk to greet my grandfather and a few of them to eat and drink.

A group of people came to the camel caravan one after another, under the signal of the foreign monk, two people from the Western Regions, an old man and a young man, took out a big burden from the camel's back, and took out some strange glass bottles from it, the mouth of the bottle was sealed with a cork around a circle of lacquer wax, and the soup and water in the bottle were filled with soup, some were like fruits, some were like slices of meat, and some were like small fish that had been oiled.

My grandfather had never seen these things, so the foreign monk unscrewed a bottle and explained to my grandfather that this is a canned sealed food, which has been distilled and sterilized, and can be stored for a long time, and after entering the desert, it must be maintained by these items.

At that time, canned food was already popular in Europe, especially for the exploration industry and the navigation industry, but at that time there were no biscuits, only bread, the predecessor of biscuits, but the bread contained 30% water, which was not easy to store for a long time.

The employer, George, also took out a bottle of wine, also a glass bottle, which also had a wooden stopper on it, but the wine inside the bottle was red. The foreign monk said that this is red wine, made from grapes, and it is very expensive in their country.

George took out a few more tall glasses and poured one for each.

My grandfather took a sip of his cup, which was spicy and astringent, like swill, and he reluctantly swallowed it.

Xiao Shiyi picked up his wine glass and took a sip, his face changed suddenly, and he spit it out, causing several foreigners to laugh.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao asked Xiao Chujiu to take out the jars of old wine in the baggage and pour a glass for each of those foreigners, except for the foreign monk, the other foreigners also had a great change in their faces, tears were rolling in their eyes, Xiao Laodao saw this, and a sneer appeared on his face.

My grandfather saw that the foreign monks also drank wine, and felt very fresh, Xiao Laodao said, these foreign monks are all wine and meat monks, not only drink wine and eat meat, but also marry a daughter-in-law.

After lunch, and after waiting for an hour, I saw two dusts on the main road east of Yumen Pass, almost connected to the sky, like two fast horses coming here. For a moment, everyone stood up and focused all their attention on the two dusts.

The speed of the dust is very fast, it doesn't take much effort, from far to near, at this time I can see clearly, it is indeed two fast horses, and there are people right away.

When I got a little closer, my grandfather focused his eyes on it and took a closer look, it was a white horse, a red horse, the white horse was a man dressed in raw clothes, and the red horse seemed to be a woman.

A man and a woman soon came to the front of the Jade Gate, and the foreign monk hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face.

At this time, my grandfather looked at the man and the woman carefully. The man looks the same age as himself, he is also twenty-two or thirteen years old, his skin is very white, and he looks very handsome, but the whole person exudes a coldness that rejects people, and even the eyes of people seem to be frosty, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

My grandfather only glanced at him a few times, and then shifted his gaze to the woman beside him.

This woman, dressed in a light red equestrian suit close to a Manchurian woman, her hair is not coiled, there are no bangs in front of her forehead, her head is tied to the back, and she has a long ponytail tied at the back of her head, which looks simple and neat, and the woman's outfit is almost invisible in the Central Plains. He is about twenty years old, and he looks very beautiful, which can almost be described as a country and a city. As my grandfather later recalled, this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life.

It's just that there is a domineering arrogance between this woman's eyebrows, and she doesn't need to look at people at all. In my opinion, maybe she also knew that she was outrageously beautiful, so she put on a swaggering stinking shelf. Now there are more and more girls like this, but most of them are pretending.

A man and a woman didn't get off the horse, and the foreign monk didn't know what to say when he walked up to them, because the distance was a little far, and my grandfather couldn't hear it clearly.

Subsequently, a man and a woman dismounted, and the woman handed over the reins of the horse to the man, and walked straight towards the foreigners.

George, the employer, was better, and exchanged a few words with the woman with a smile.

Then, the woman glanced at my grandfather and them, left a few foreigners, and walked over step by step.

In the eyes of those of us, beautiful looks are no different from ugliness, we only value our looks and mentality. Of course, my grandfather is no exception, in fact, he is also the kind of person who rarely looks at people squarely, and he is not comparable to the woman in front of him.

The woman came to my grandfather and a few of them, swept my grandfather and a few of them lightly, and finally asked Xiao Lao Dao lukewarmly, "You are Xuan Juezi, Xiao Xianshi, right?" ”

Xiao Laodao may not have any feelings for this woman's appearance because of his age, Xiao Laodao naturally smiled slightly, and arched his hand towards the woman, "Immortal master doesn't dare to be, it's just a poor Taoist." ”

"Oh"

The woman said "oh", no longer paid attention to Xiao Laodao, and looked at my grandfather and Xiao Chujiu again, looked at my grandfather, looked at Xiao Chujiu again, and finally all her eyes fell on my grandfather.

After looking my grandfather up and down a few times, a smile actually appeared on the woman's face, but how did my grandfather look at her smile, how did it look like that kind of contemptuous ridicule, "This should be the ...... Dragon Slayer, right? When the woman said "Dragon Slayer", her face was still full of ridicule, and her tone became very strange, and the words "Dragon Slayer" seemed to be said by her as a laughing stock, which sounded extremely harsh.

My grandfather's face suddenly turned red, and he glanced at her coldly.

The woman turned her gaze to Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi again, "Xiao Chujiu Xiao Eleven, the two senior apprentices of Xiao Immortal Master." ”

Xiao Shiyi smiled at this time and made a few gestures to Xiao Chujiu, my grandfather saw that the gesture meant to say, this sister is so good-looking, is it good for you to be a daughter-in-law.

Xiao Chujiu replied to him with a gesture, not good.

Of course, the woman couldn't understand the meaning of their gestures, and turned her gaze to the little ghost monkey wearing a robe and a hat, but before she could speak, Xiao Laodao laughed on the side, "It seems that the brothers of the 'sand wolf' have figured out our details. ”

The woman turned her gaze to Xiao Laodao again, and smiled slightly proudly.

Xiao Laodao continued: "Poor Road has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and the rules are still understood, the road is facing the sky, each side is halfway, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, although the girl can rest assured, except for the money of foreigners, we will not take a penny from your territory." ”

"That's good." When the woman heard Xiao Laodao say this, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Girl, wait......" Xiao Laodao hurriedly stopped her, "As the saying goes, there are brothers all over the world, can the girl tell Poor Dao and how to call her name." ”

The woman glanced back at Xiao Laodao, didn't speak, and left directly, as if she didn't bother to tell my grandfather and a few of them their names. 360mobe The Last Ghost Hunter

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao raised his voice and shouted at her back: "Chu Xuan, the only daughter of Chu Chenfeng, the master of the sand wolf, the head of the eight treasurers of the sand wolf, the young descendant of the horse, the third of the four King Kongs, the cold-faced King Kong Mubai, Chu Chenfeng's future son-in-law, your future husband, however, you are not satisfied with this family business, Miss Chu, what the poor Dao said is right." ”

When the woman heard Xiao Laodao say this, her body paused suddenly, turned her head and glared at Xiao Laodao coldly, "You ...... you"

Xiao Laodao laughed and arched his hand towards the woman, "Know yourself and know each other, and know each other." ”

Hearing Xiao Laodao say this, my grandfather only then knew that this beautiful woman's name was Chu Xuan, and the ice-faced man's name was Mu Bai. It's just that I don't know where this Xiao Laodao got the news.

This Chu Xuan, who can also speak the Western Regions, after leaving my grandfather and them, did not go to the cold-faced man Mu Bai, nor did he go to the foreigners, but walked up to the two Western Regions people, and said a few words to them, and I don't know what they said.

At this time, my grandfather asked Xiao Lao Dao puzzledly, "Brother Xiao, didn't you say that the 'sand wolf' was going to come with four or five people, why only two came?" ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "Foolish brother can't figure it out, they didn't come over, but they sent a little girl, there must be another hidden story here, I'm afraid that our trip won't be too peaceful......" - The last ghost hunter-
