Chapter 25: Daughter's Village

This woman certainly didn't know us people, but she did know the three bandits of Amat.

She was riding a camel, but when she got closer, she looked at Amat and jumped off the camel in a hurry.

She took a closer look at Amat's injuries and asked what was going on?

Jiang Shaoyan cried with a sad face, not at all like his original appearance, especially with tears in his eyes, but there was a feeling of being in a nest.

He said to the woman, "The six of us are all Amat's subordinates, and I don't know what happened last night, the police dispatched a bunch of people to round up, and it was impossible for us to be arrested, so we started fighting, but there were many people on the other side, and we were arrested to death, and in the end, only these brothers escaped with Amat." Where we didn't take refuge, Amat said, let us go to the southwest to find Jiuniang, and we fled all night and ran over. ”

The woman listened silently, and I realized that she was not stupid at all, and asked a few more questions, didn't Amat have contact with the police? Why was he rounded up instead? In addition, there is a lot of quicksand in this desert, how did we get here?

I was shocked into a cold sweat after hearing this, this is going to be me, and I can't answer for a while. But Jiang Shaoyan was very calm, and answered one by one, especially when it came to the quicksand trap, he lied that Amat hadn't fainted at that time, and asked us to carry him on his back and command us to come over.

I can see that this is pure nonsense. But Amat is now so virtuous, and it is impossible for the woman to confront him, and she is not too suspicious to see us look so miserable.

She told us to put all three of Amat on the camels, and then we went to the camels and spoke to them in our ears.

I'm curious, no matter how smart a camel is, it's still a camel, and I haven't heard of it knowing human language. But something about the evil door appeared, and the camel monster screamed, spread its legs, and ran.

I saw its speed, so fast, almost in the blink of an eye that it was gone.

Next, the woman took us and said that we would go back to the village to meet Jiuniang.

The six of us followed, and she took small small steps in front of her. This made me impatient again, but I couldn't help it. And along the way, she didn't talk to us at all, and we were embarrassed to chat in front of strangers. She would occasionally look back.

She was wearing a scarf, and I couldn't tell what her expression was, but one thing was for sure, every time she looked back, it was me.

I wondered why she was interested in me, so I secretly communicated with Jiang Shaoyan and Tie Donkey with my eyes, which meant to ask their opinions.

They both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

I guess we walked another three or five miles, and during this time we also met two women riding camels, also wrapped in scarves.

The woman who took us knew them all, and when we said hello, they ignored us and continued to ride around on camels.

I had the feeling that these women were sentinels who patrolled around the village at night.

It's just that there are things I don't understand, is it useful to send these women as sentinels? It's really dangerous, can they handle it?

I couldn't ask anything, so we ended up up up a sandy slope. This sandy slope is simply a dividing line, and the slope is still the Gobi, and green grass and soil appear on the slope.

I don't know if it's a bad oasis to call it a desert oasis, but the dirt is occasionally mixed with ceramic shards, and there's a village not far away.

This village is not big, if you want me to say that the scale is about the same as the bandit village, and it is deep in the Gobi depths, such a ** existence, with the night scene, sets off a trace of desolation and weirdness.

The woman led us to the entrance of the village. She told us not to go inside, just wait, she's going to make a report.

The six of us stopped. The woman walked away in small steps. We can't wait, Jiang Shaoyan took the time to remind a few words, all of which are the next things we need to pay attention to, especially the weapons we have hidden on our bodies, and they must not be exposed.

We nodded in response.

After a while, the woman slowly walked back. Jiang Shaoyan was looking at the village from afar, he must have found something, with a solemn expression on his face, and muttered, "Why is this?" But as soon as he saw the woman coming, he took out another look like a bag.

The woman said that Jiu Niang wanted to see us and showed us the way.

We walked with her to the very center of the village, and I was observing along the way, passing by many farmhouses, some of which opened their doors and poked their heads out of them, looking out curiously.

And these curious people are all women, why don't they sleep so late? Leave it aside, but why didn't you meet a man?

I don't think it's a coincidence.

We entered a compound and came to a very luxurious house. This is rare in a place like the village, and the interior decoration style is very ancient, the kind of mahogany doors and windows, carved flowers, and paper lanterns with words written on them, etc.

When we entered the house, there was a large wooden barrel that was half a man high, and an extremely beautiful woman was sitting in it, bathing, and beside her were two men dressed as maids, serving her.

The beautiful woman has been looking at us, and I think in my heart that just by rushing to this look, she can compete with the four ancient beauties who are sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and shy flowers. I'm sure other people have the same idea as me, this beautiful woman should be Jiu Niang, and it's really a bit inappropriate for us to look at her taking a bath like this.

Jiuniang didn't mean to be shy at all, and while pouring water on her body, she took the initiative to talk about things, anyway, she was telling us that she had heard about Amat, let us relax, live here for a while, and discuss other things in the long run.

We all nodded.

Jiu Niang was about to finish washing, and when she finished talking to us, she actually stood up and stepped out of the barrel.

She leaked her body in front of us without any cover, I only knew that this woman's body was so white and greasy, and then she lowered her head and avoided her gaze.

Iron Donkey and Luo Yi also lowered their heads as I thought, but Jiang Shaoyan, Old Snake and Xiao Hei didn't do it.

Jiang Shaoyan kept watching, maybe observing Jiuniang, and didn't react otherwise, the old snake and Xiao Hei couldn't do it, and their snorts became heavier and heavier.

I think these two kids are in a mess of mood. But they didn't have a chance to do anything out of the ordinary. After Jiu Niang finished changing her clothes, they returned to normal.

Jiuniang said that we will toss for a night, eat some food first, and then have a good rest. But she didn't come forward, and called the woman who brought us to the village, Jiuniang called her Xiaohu, and asked Xiaohu to accompany us throughout the whole process.

We went out of Jiu Niang's house and came to another place, which looked like a special place for feasts, still full of ancient flavors, and we all sat down around a large round table.

I found that I could taste it just by eating, and the village was very generous, and soon a table was filled with dishes, many of which I had never eaten in my life.

I was careful first, took out a few doses of medicine from my breast pouch in advance, put them in a bowl, and then tried the vegetables. I found that these dishes were not poisonous, and they even tasted quite delicious.

I thought that these were all specialties here, but during the banquet, I looked at Luo Yi and Old Snake and found that they also had the appearance of eating this dish for the first time.

I'm puzzled. We didn't come for food, we almost got it, and then Xiaohu took us to where we lived.

It is a courtyard with two houses, each with a small ondol.

As soon as we calculated, one kang can sleep three people, anyway, these two houses are next to each other, and the six of us are simply divided into two groups. I, Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey live together, and they are together.

Luo Yi and the others were all tired, so they went into the house and fell asleep. I am indeed sleepy, but I also know that I should discuss something with Jiang Shaoyan and the iron donkey at this time.

It's the first time we've been here, and we don't know much about the village and Jiuniang.

At this time, the sky was also bright, Jiang Shaoyan meant, our identity this time is a "fair-minded" bandit, and we can wander around the village. In that case, let's take advantage of this opportunity to walk and take a turn.

We waited and waited, after all, it was still a little early, and at eight or nine o'clock in the morning, we went out together.

I think it's a good time, I don't know if the village will be very lively, working in the fields, going out to run errands, etc., but when I really stand in the village and look at the surrounding environment, the first feeling is strange.

Who's there? The whole village was shrouded in a faint mist. Every house is closed.

We wanted to take a stroll to get some news, but there was no one, who should we ask? I don't even know where I'm going next.

Jiang Shaoyan said that we can't just stand in front of the residence, he chose a direction casually, and we wandered aimlessly.

During this period, after passing several residences, the iron donkey also came to the courtyard gate and looked at the crack in the door. All he did was shake his head and say he couldn't see anything at all.

We went around in such a big circle, and I couldn't help it, because I was always wet on such foggy days, and it was very uncomfortable.

I suggested to the two of them, either go back and have a good rest like Luo Yi and the others, or think of an excuse to knock on the courtyard door of a house and try it, and find a reason to take the initiative to ask or something.

Jiang Shaoyan thought about it and said that my plan should be an alternative, and he looked around again.

There were several houses in our vicinity, and he chose the highest and largest courtyard wall and walked us there. He climbed up the wall in the old way, swishing silently.

I thought he would stand up straight and look into the distance, looking for a place in the distance where there was activity.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he poked his head out, he looked at the courtyard and was stunned. I was puzzled, I didn't know what he saw. And he quickly came back to his senses, and immediately shrank his head and crawled down.

He didn't tell us either, and he pondered it.

I couldn't help but whisper, Jiang Shaoyan was still thinking about things, and he didn't want me to disturb his train of thought. He just pointed at the wall and ignored me.

I can say in my heart, what is in that courtyard, I still have to rely on myself to see.

In fact, the iron donkey was as curious as I was, and we both looked at each other and climbed up the wall
