Chapter 1512 - Melons That Can't Be Eaten
Hanmen Town, a poor town, because of feng shui problems, the suburbs of the town are all loess, and there is no grass, just like the Loess Plateau.
When we came here, it was already sunset, the wind was blowing, the wind was full of sand, and the earth was swirling in the air, which seemed to be particularly cold and lonely.
"Rest here for one night, go on the road tomorrow, and go to Tianyi City the day after tomorrow."
Thinking that the journey had gone smoothly and that we were one step closer to our destination, I couldn't hide my excitement.
"I don't know what the hell this seventh district is, it's hard to imagine, could it be another time and space?"
Li Guanyi has been talking about what he has seen and heard along the way, and if it had been in the past, I would have even thought that this guy had a nervous disorder.
But now that we are all in this environment, normal people can't suppress their inner curiosity.
"There are all kinds of wonders in this world, just like the aliens that appeared many years ago in scientific research, and now it seems that some powerful force may have absorbed the human race.
People, always nostalgic, it's normal to find a way to come back and take a second look, and it's the same as the first seven souls. ”
I said with a slight teasing.
"Don't say it, when you say that, I really think that's the case."
Li Guan said matter-of-factly.
"It's a, I'll just guess, don't take it seriously."
I jumped off my horse and led the horse forward.
"Hey, don't believe me, a lot of times, random speculation often comes true. Isn't it, daughter-in-law? ”
Li Guanyi smiled and said to Artuge.
Artuge nodded as if he didn't understand: "What Guanyi said is right. ”
Burst!
When I heard this, I thought of the two brothers with Niu Tou and Ma Mian, the cute horse head monster who could only say that Brother Niu was right, and I don't know where these two are now, how they are mixed up.
Thinking about it, these two brothers are still very particular, they have been in the underworld for so many years, and the Emperor Xudu has nothing to do with them, and now that the Xudu has entered the seventh district, these two goods may be more nourishing in the underworld.
If you have the opportunity to go to the underworld again, you will definitely have to chat with the two of them and have a drink.
The three of them led the horses into the town, and there was a shack on the edge of the town, and there was a large piece of sand outside the shack, which naturally could not grow anything else, but could grow watermelons.
The watermelon is not big, only the size of a palm, and there are not many, only about a dozen, but they still make us greedy.
A small number of watermelons have become the only decoration on this yellow earth.
There was no way, all the way over, except for eating sand and drinking wind, seeing watermelons was like seeing relatives, so we got off the horse and walked to the front of the shack.
Li Guan couldn't hold it back early in the morning, and quickly stepped forward and shouted into the shack: "Is there anyone?" Hey, is there anyone in there? ”
It was quiet in the shack, and there was no sound.
I shrugged my shoulders helplessly: "It seems that there is no one." ”
Li Guanyi smiled mischievously: "It doesn't matter if there is no one, let's eat this melon first, and then leave some objects as honorarium." ”
Barter, there is no unified currency in this sad seventh district, and the most primitive way of trading is still being used.
However, many of the items traded have a unified plan, such as ghost nails, charms, etc., which are very common and easy to measure in value.
So the ghost nails on my body became a common currency, and of course some people still like charms, because not everyone can use ghost nails to trade things in the Yin Market.
Fortunately, when we were leaving, Liu Jiezi prepared beef jerky and food for us, otherwise we really don't know how to get through this journey.
"Hey, anyone?"
Li Guanyi stood at the door and shouted twice.
Artug suddenly laughed: "Don't shout, don't you see a lock on the door?" ”
Locked on the door?
Li Guanyi and I both looked at the firewood door of the shack, and looked up and down only to find that at the bottom of the door, there was a lock hanging in the corner of the door on the left.
I have seen a lock in the middle of a door, but I have never seen a lock in the corner of a door.
Seeing that there was indeed a lock, Li Guan didn't think about it, rolled up his sleeves and walked in the direction of the melon shed.
Just as he was about to start picking melons, there was a sudden slight noise from the wood door of the shack.
'Let's ......'
The sound was so sudden that it startled us, even the horses we were leading.
"What sound?"
Li Guanyi looked up suspiciously and looked at me.
I looked at the firewood door.
In the lower left corner of the door, there was a small window, about a foot square, covered by a small wooden board.
At this moment the plank was pushed away, and a shriveled hand came out of it.
The hand trembled, holding a key in his hand, and poked the big lock several times, until it was finally stuffed into the keyhole, and then twisted it several times before the lock was twisted open.
I'll go! Is there anyone in this house?
Li Guanyi jumped up in fright, how else to say that he was a thief, even if he was a person like Li Guanyi, what he was doing at this time was stealing people's things, so once he was caught, he also felt a little weak-hearted.
This is the morality in the bottom of the human heart, of course, if Nobita is playing the role of a melon thief at this time, it is estimated that it will be a different matter, and the kid will not blush even if he steals people's things.
Looking at Li Guanyi's anxious appearance, I couldn't help but feel a little funny, and when I thought of Nobita, I really missed him a little, and I don't know how this kid is doing now, maybe when I go back, this guy and the kids are running all over the ground.
'Squeak'
The sound of the chaimen brought my mind back to reality, and when I saw the chaimen, an old man with a wrinkled face walked out.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, and he stepped over the threshold tremblingly, and walked out, first surprised at the sight of us, and then grinned, revealing a scorched yellow tooth that was missing a front tooth.
Is there a treasure hidden in this broken shack? As for it? Locking yourself in in broad daylight?
This old man gives me the feeling that it is a little strange, but it is possible that people want to have a good night's sleep and deliberately lock themselves in the house!
Leaving aside the distractions in my mind, I stepped forward, ready to speak, but I didn't know how to speak.
There's no way, our purpose is to steal people's watermelons, and as a result, we were caught, and I can't help but feel empty, how can this be reasonable?
But the old man spoke first: "Stealing watermelons? You are so bold, are you eating the watermelon here casually? ”
The old man's tone was a little arrogant, and Li Guanyi said unconvinced: "What do you mean by stealing melons?" It's not that we don't give money, so you don't squeak after shouting a few times, we don't do it ourselves? ”
As soon as Li Guanyi shouted like this, the old man suddenly became unwilling, and glared at Li Guanyi with a pair of cross-eyed eyes.
Well, these two are going to quarrel.
