Chapter 112: The Town of Loess
Along the bright passage, we came in a moment to see a gate with a different light, and we could see that it was the other end of the passage.
We walked there, and through the gate, we saw a golden town, not a golden town, but the land around it was yellow, even the buildings, which seemed to be made of earth.
We were standing on a hill high above the hill with a view of the town in the distance, which was supposed to be a very old city, which was probably much worse than the new century capital where we lived not long ago.
"Is that town the place it was rumored to be?" Lan Yue Road
"It should be, this place is somewhat similar to the glorious township that the general said." I responded
"In that case, let's go down the mountain first." Lan Yue said again
I nodded in agreement
We seemed to have come to the side of a mountain after passing through the passage. Even though you can see the town, you can't see the whole picture, and the town seems to be quite large.
We walked down the trail, and after nearly half an hour we reached the bottom of the mountain, and then we walked towards the road leading to the town.
After walking for a short time, I came to the gate of the town. We then walked through the gate. As far as the eye can see, the town's streets are similar to what we see on the mountainside, lined with old loess houses, each of which is only about three stories high.
The streets are also yellow earth, and they are more primitive than the countryside where I used to live. As we walked along the street, we could see that there were many people near the street, some of them were wearing skirts, and they had a hat covering their hair, and these were mostly women, and many of the men were bare, some were wearing vests, etc., and their skin was relatively dark.
After all, the weather is still quite hot and dry, we are moving forward, and the next question to consider is about our sister, Lan Yue and I can't help but look at it.
"What's next, do you want to ask the people here?" I said
"Actually, I've been looking for the breath of the splash since just now, but I just can't find it."
"Then you should find a way to ask the residents here." I said again
"That's right, I don't know if our language can be understood with them." Lan Yue Road
As she said, we seem to be quite far away from them, somewhere on the other side of the world.
"Let's try it, even if it's an outsider, there should be someone like a tour guide in the local area." I said
"Well, let's go find a restaurant or something, go in and ask how it goes." Lan Yue proposed
"That's it." I agree
As we continued to walk down the streets, I felt a lot of eyes on the way, and it seemed that there were quite a few people paying special attention to us, perhaps outsiders like us were rare, or something, and I heard from the general that there were very few outsiders here.
"What to do, those people, seem to be watching us, are we suspicious people?" I walked and whispered to Lan Yue
"Most likely, our outfits are too different from theirs, and they are very conspicuous, but they are not here to do bad things, there is no need to be sneaky."
"Even if you do"
I said, at this moment, there are many eyes around us that are looking at us as if they are locked. We looked around one after another, but we couldn't look at those eyes anymore, we all bowed our heads slightly, and walked briskly involuntarily.
"It's really troublesome, what did those guys do, let's go quickly." Lan Yue bowed her head and said
"There seems to be a small restaurant in front of us, so let's go there." I said
There was a big restaurant not far from the two of us, so I walked towards it, and when we got to the door, we could see that there were quite a few customers in it, and there was a counter on the other side, which was supposed to be the cashier's office, and we walked towards it.
When we arrived at the counter, there stood a man in a white robe, and I greeted him, and when he saw this, he looked at us in surprise, and after seeming to understand that we were not from here, he took out a menu and put it in front of us, and gestured with his hand, as if to ask us to order.
Lan Yue and I paused again at this time, facing the scene in front of us, what to do is good, we are telling each other what it means.
"Hello, can you understand our language?" I asked the shopkeeper
Hearing this, the man in the white hat and white robe nodded and said, "I know, occasionally foreign tourists come here, I have been to many countries, and you generally understand the language." ”
"Yes, that's good, boss, may I ask if you have seen a girl of her age with a red hairband on her head recently." I pointed to Lan Yue and said
"Girl, dressed like this girl, I haven't seen it recently." The white-robed man replied
"yes, there's something about..."
Just as I continued, the white-robed man stretched out his hand and interrupted: "Let's order some food first, I know you are outsiders, there are a lot of local specialties here, I will recommend it to you." ”
With that, he began to introduce us to the menu, which we couldn't refuse, so we ordered a few dishes.
"If there's anything you don't understand, I'll introduce you to someone who is fluent in your language." The white-robed man said as he took the menu and walked towards another room behind the restaurant.
We then went to the empty seats and sat quietly waiting for the specialties of the place, before the boss told us to introduce us to people who are fluent in our language, which was very interesting.
As we sit, we could see the strange gaze cast around us, no longer as strong as before, and occasionally aimed at this side.
"Isn't it unwelcoming to outsiders?" Lan Yue said
"Don't say it too soon, this is not a place we've been living in for a long time." I said
"Well, maybe it's something else, something more special." Lan Yue Road
I can't say anything so far, there's still so much unfamiliarity with this place. After a while, the boss walked over from the side, holding a plate of cutlery and food in his hand.
"Please take your time." The boss put the food in front of our table and said
“… Good"
Then he walked from the side to the room behind the counter. We had no choice but to start eating in this situation. The specialty of the dish is a variety of nutritious foods such as fruit platters. That's the food we all love.
"We can only take it one step at a time, and after we finish eating this, we will ask the boss about the introducer." Lan Yue Road
"Indeed."
We dined there, and after a while, we were almost done eating, and when we were about to settle the bill, a wave of people in white and blue suits came in at the door, and they were dressed differently from the rest of the people, these people looked like troops or something, and they were coming towards us at this moment.
One of the leaders was a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with some wrinkles on his face, and he looked very dignified.
The group of people walked in in two neat columns, attracting the attention of the guests next to us, and many of them gathered around us.
"What happened?" I couldn't help but wonder
Lan Yue also silently looked at the scene in front of her, those people seemed to be deliberately looking for the two of us to sit again. We still sat at the table and watched the two columns come towards us.
For a while, we couldn't do anything when we couldn't understand words. At this time, the boss in the white robe came over, and when I saw this, I said to him, "Do you know what these people are here for?" ”
Hearing this, the boss nodded and said, "Well, he was contacted by me, didn't he just say that he wanted to introduce you to people who can communicate with each other?" ”
"This is..."
"That person, right in front of your eyes." The boss said
He gestured to the middle-aged man with a long beard standing in front of me.
"Hah..."
