Chapter 288: All the way to the east
On a March day, an extra layer of snow and sand appeared on the yellow sand of the desert, covering the dry earth in the east and west, cold and hard. The 'naked' and 'exposed' yellow sand was scattered everywhere in the howling cold wind, and a lot of snow was buried deep underground.
In some places, for this reason, some moist sand will accumulate on it, and a hard cover will be formed on it, and some life will survive tenaciously in such an environment...... In summer and autumn, the sun will crack the dry and hard shell, and scorpions and snakes will crawl out of the 'shadow' shadow of the cracks.
'Spring', summer, autumn and winter, scorching heat and cold, a cycle of a year, here is a desert, but there are also four seasons.
Desert summers are brutal.
Desert winters are just as cruel.
Life Exclusion Zone.
These four words fully illustrate how difficult it is for life to survive in the desert. The wind was strong, and it let out a ghostly howl like a wolf. In the depths of the desert, a whirlpool appeared, swirled, and then a 'woman' jumped out with a child in her arms. A good-looking man also struggled to climb out.
The woman's name is Bai Yezi, she is holding Xue Ji in her arms, and then Wen Xiaotian comes out, and the family has been in the palace for more than a month, and it is now March...... It was supposed to be a season for all things to grow, but the weather in the desert still looked like a cold winter......
Wen Xiaotian sat on the sand and lifted one of his feet. His feet were bare, and the soles of his feet were covered in scars, blisters, and charred black tendons. He grinned a little, and looked flattering to his daughter, "Come, girl, ice this place ......"
Xue Ji sighed, and saw that there was an extra layer of ice floe on the soles of Wen Xiaotian's feet, which froze Wen Xiaotian's skin and flesh, but it did not go deep. Wen Xiaotian took a few breaths hard, picked up a fist-sized stone from the ground, and smashed it twice on the soles of his feet, the ice shattered, and a layer of skin and 'flesh' fell off.
It hurts a little.
Wen Xiaotian's face twitched, and he immediately raised his other foot.
It's not the first time Yukihime has done this, so she's very experienced. The second foot did the same, freezing the original layer of charred skin and 'flesh', and then removing it.
In the palace of the dry fish, whether it is the wall or the floor, the temperature is extremely high, Wen Xiaotian is burned almost every day, and he has to deal with these injuries every day. It is also his current body that has several times stronger recovery ability than ordinary people, which is why it is supported by force.
More than a month of hardship also made him more tenacious.
Bai Yezi said: "It's finally out, and you won't have to suffer anymore!" ”
Wen Xiaotian said: "You guys are okay, you can protect your body with true yuan, Xiaoxue doesn't have to worry about burns, it's my most bitter, every day the soles of my feet become teppanyaki, if you add some cumin or something, you can eat barbecued 'meat' when you lift your feet...... But speaking of which, such days are worth it! ”
It's worth it.
Although Wen Xiaotian can't say what he has learned, it is indeed worth it. As a master, he is very qualified, even if he suffers so much every day, he, who is an apprentice, is also happy to surrender to another master, and he will definitely not let Wen Xiaotian feel like this.
That's how strange people are.
Someone treats you well and sincerely, so even if he beats you, scolds you and tortures you, you will not be resentful, and even honestly next to you. Some people say it's for your good, and they say it's really for you, but even if he scolds you, you will be very angry, angry, and resentful.
All of this is just the feeling of the human heart...... Whether it is true or false, everyone will feel it, the sincerity of the drought fish, Wen Xiaotian can feel it with his heart.
After sitting on the ground for a while, the soles of my feet will grow. The new skin and flesh are delicate and smooth, and the color is a little dazzling. Wen Xiaotian's body has been changed into a pair of denim 'pants' and a simple half-sleeved shirt. In the palace of the dry fish, Wen Xiaotian was mostly only wearing 'pants'.
The temperature is so high that what kind of clothes can be kept from burning? Even the 'trousers' are all made by the daughter-in-law of the family with the cooperation of the daughter-in-law of the family, with cold ice as silk thread and sword qi as the restraint. Because of the cultivation reasons, no matter how complicated and big it is, it can't last.
Now I'm finally comfortable...... Well, it's just that the weather is too cold and the wind is too strong.
Pouting, the family of three began to look for people.
Bo Yi Kao left very early and returned to the West to discipline his descendants and grandchildren. To be able to return to Middle-earth again in this life, even if it is only for less than a day on this land, is enough. To be able to come back and stand there for a moment is already his lifelong wish.
Target: Southeast.
Wen Xiaotian's family walked in the southeast direction, and as they walked, they talked about some gossip without looking for margins. The husband and wife said a few words, and Xue Ji said a few words, no matter what, they would not snub the lovely child in their arms. After walking for a day and not meeting anyone, Yukihime looked a little tired, so she fell asleep in Shirahako's arms.
"I'll carry it......"
Afraid that he would be tired of his daughter-in-law, Wen Xiaotian carried Xue Ji on his back. A wide down jacket was taken out of a crystal pendant and draped over her back, covering Yukihime.
The husband and wife walked unhurriedly, without the intention of resting.
Walk, walk......
Wen Xiaotian's stomach screamed. It's a pity that there is nothing to eat here, and he can only endure the next crystal pendant, he must prepare some food in the crystal pendant, otherwise he will have to starve to death! Wen Xiaotian muttered in his heart, and said to Bai Yezi, "Yezi, what do you say is the situation in the Ming Dynasty now?" ”
"I don't know, it should be very 'messy', right?"
Shirahako is a little uninterested.
Men and 'women' are very different in their understanding of certain things. Men generally hate wild boar braids and the like, but the 'women' talk about it with relish, Bai Yezi doesn't care about any wars or the like, they don't care about the world's chaos, and they don't care if the Manchus enter the customs......
That is, because Wen Xiaotian cares about this matter very much, so Bai Yezi cares. In the end, I still care a little more about Wen Xiaotian.
I really want to say that from the perspective of a 'woman'......
Well, kneeling and 'licking' the boar skin, attacking the Ming Dynasty, dominating the world, and talking about love with Ago Gege and the like is the royal way of people.
Day 3.
A rudimentary sandcastle came into view. The sand castle is built by mixing sand and weeds, and it is the same color as the yellow sand around it. The sandcastle was divided into a courtyard and several rooms, which also contained horses...... Others, which are clothes that have been dried.
There must be someone here.
Closer you look, you see that this is not an oasis, but rather an inn in the desert. The husband and wife glanced at each other, and they wanted to find some good places here, and it would be nice to be able to live there. The two walked in, and an old 'woman' with a weathered face inside spoke very quickly.
Wen Xiaotian actually understood very well.
Wen Xiaotian replied in the same way, so that the master here did not dare to underestimate it. This is a dialect in the Western Regions, if it weren't for the scientific and archaeological research of later generations to sort out and recover, it happened that Wen Xiaotian also learned it, and he really couldn't understand what people said. And what makes Wen Xiaotian more 'awesome' than this master is that he can not only speak, but also write.
After entering, they asked for something to eat and drink, and the family decided to stay here for the night. There was no one in the inn, only the family was considered a guest.
A roast lamb was served, and there was a stall of drinks, and there was no more here. When the family had eaten and drunk, they went to rest in their rooms. In the middle of the night, I unexpectedly heard the conversation between the shopkeeper, the hall runner and the cook...... "Shopkeeper, look at the three people, a man, a 'woman', a child, and a bean sprout, we might as well not do it......
"You know what? The last thing to be messed with on the rivers and lakes is the elderly, 'female', children and cripples. And you see this family of three, walking in the desert, so calmly, and you look at their skin, as if they came out of the desert? ”
"Who does it matter, a bottle of 'Meng' sweat 'medicine', all of them are knocked down!"
"Bah, you know how to fart?"
"Don't talk about it...... This family is a plague god, and the tricks are all bright. If they leave tomorrow, it's best to leave early and have a good morning, if not, we'll serve you well......"
As this sentence ended, there was no more sound.
Wen Xiaotian closed his eyes.
This sleep is extraordinarily sweet.
Next.
Wen Xiaotian's family continued on the road, and in the afternoon they arrived at an oasis, and according to the shopkeeper, the use of the inn was transported from here. There are ordinary ethnic minorities living in the oasis, and Wen Xiaotian is not a language barrier, so he has become a translator.
Bai Yezi was very interested in buying some costumes and headscarves with national characteristics, and he had to dress up the family. Wen Xiaotian became a "sister" with Bai Yezi very innocently, and now he has no strength or strength, just like that weak 'chicken', his daughter-in-law and 'wife' can bully him as much as she wants.
Dressed in a white 'colored' mink fur, the waist is very thin, but the skirt on the lower body is very wide, which is very Western. On his head, he wore a cotton 'hair', one by one, like a 'hair' ball of ornaments in a string, hanging in front of him, his face was 'covered', full of exoticism......
Wen Xiaotian complained: "Do you want to 'get' me to the Central Plains and sell me as a dancing 'girl'?" ”
"Who bought you? There's no way, who makes the men's clothes here so monotonous and ugly? ”
"Yes."
Wen Xiaotian was at ease.
First, the clothes of the 'women' have been worn more than once, and the second is that Bai Yezi is also telling the truth, most of the men's clothes in ancient times are ugly, and in the eyes of modern people, the difference between the clothes of men and women is very small, so it is nothing to wear. The most important point is that in addition to the details, this set of clothes is very similar to the costumes of the princes of the Dajin Kingdom in the 'shooting' carving. Push forward by hundreds of years, this is a man's clothes!
