Chapter 310: A remote town
Hearing this, Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at a table near the corner of the wall on the west side, there were seven or eight people sitting around the table, most of them were dressed by locals, only two were dressed by people from Middle-earth, these two people were about the same age, about forty or fifty years old, not tall, one of them was bald, and it was the bald man who spoke.
"Pack up and let's go." Bald also noticed that he had missed his mouth, and after speaking, he quickly changed to Chinese, and the locals at the same table were not suspicious, China is too big, and the local dialect is different.
After Balding finished speaking, the people at the same table quickly packed up their seats and stood up, Zuo Dengfeng groaned slightly, put down the noodle bowl in his hand and walked over, blocking everyone's way.
"Sir, please give way." A middle-aged man with glasses next to the bald man opened his mouth to Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't let go when he heard this, but looked at the two people in front of him with a cold face, these two people didn't seem to have cultivation, but a little like a scholar.
Seeing this, the guides hired by the two immediately reached out and pressed their hands to the hilt of the knife at their waist, and these people were as accustomed to using the knife as if they were holding chopsticks.
Seeing this, Iron Shoes wanted to come over and help, but he moved his butt and sat down again, not to mention seven or eight people, even if everyone in the restaurant did it together, it was not Zuo Dengfeng's opponent.
"You are talking about yourself, what are you doing in China?" Zuo Dengfeng stretched out his hand and pointed at the middle-aged man with glasses and balding.
"Sir, you misunderstood, we are not ourselves." Bald hurriedly waved his hand when he heard this.
"You can't hide it from me, you are yourself." Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and drank coldly.
"Get out of the way, or don't blame us for being rude." One of the fierce-looking guides drew his waist knife and walked over and glared at Zuo Dengfeng, these people were called guides, but they actually shouldered the role of bodyguards.
"You're welcome." Zuo Dengfeng raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Ma San'er, put away your knife." At this moment, the middle-aged woman who was in charge of serving the food walked over.
"Sister Hua, this thing that doesn't have long eyeballs wants to cut off the wealth of my brothers." The strong man put away his waist knife.
"Little brother, go back and eat your food honestly, don't meddle with things." The middle-aged woman pulled Zuo Dengfeng to the seat.
Zuo Dengfeng hesitated for a moment and did not act rashly, watching the two people leave with their guides.
"Don't look at it, those people said that they went to Dunhuang to uncover the murals." The middle-aged woman whispered as she wiped the table with a rag.
"Nobody cares." Zuo Dengfeng frowned and asked, Listening to the meaning of this middle-aged woman, it seems that these people have come once or twice.
"If you have money, who cares." The middle-aged woman glanced at Zuo Dengfeng.
Zuo Dengfeng didn't say anything when he heard this, there are a large number of Buddha statues and murals in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, these are ancient relics, and it is a pity that they were stolen by himself, but those who knew that he came to steal ancient cultural relics and helped the guide to abuse him was even more hateful, but these things had nothing to do with him, no matter what.
Zuo Dengfeng can sit still, the iron shoes can't sit still, he knows what Dunhuang is, that is the holy miracle of his Buddhism, after the middle-aged woman left, he ate the noodles in two bites and left the restaurant, Zuo Dengfeng knew what he was doing, so he waited for him to come back while drinking in his seat.
Half an hour later, Iron Shoes returned, and it would definitely not take him so long to kill a few people, and he didn't know if he waited until everyone left the town.
"It's really a devil, and when he dies, he is croaking." Iron Shoes sat back in his seat.
Zuo Dengfeng was sitting on the seat eating tomatoes at this time, and when he heard the words, he smiled and handed a red one to the iron shoe, and the iron shoe raised his hand to take it, and the juice splashed all over his body under a bite.
At this time, it was already past dinner, and there were only a few diners left in the restaurant, and the middle-aged woman was talking to an elderly man on the counter.
"Eldest sister, come over, I'll ask you something." Zuo Dengfeng beckoned to the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman who was called Sister Hua by the guide left the counter and walked over when she heard this.
"Eldest sister, who is the most well-informed here." Zuo Dengfeng took out a gold bar and stuffed it into her hand under the table, it was a large gold bar.
"Little brother, what are you doing?" Sister Hua glanced down, with a shocked look on her face, and then sat down beside Zuo Dengfeng.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Zuo Dengfeng said with a smile, this eldest sister Hua spoke in a very heavy tone, and it was obvious that she rarely rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth.
"You didn't bring a knife, so you're not a knife man, and you didn't bring goods, so you're definitely not here to do business, I guess you're here to find something." Sister Hua thought for a while and said.
"You guessed it, I want to go to Lop Nur to find something, who knows the situation in Lop Nur here." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said.
"You're late, the ancient city of Loulan and the ancient city of Milan have been hollowed out, and besides, there are only some rotten wooden stakes and dried corpses there, only foreigners like it, what are you doing there." Sister Hua shook her head and said.
"I'm not interested in the pile of rags in the ancient city of Loulan, what I'm looking for is a huge poisonous snake." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said, if you want to find out the news, you can't hide your head and show your tail.
"There are a lot of poisonous snakes in the Gobi Desert, what are you looking for?" Sister Hua asked suspiciously, three hundred yuan is enough for her to work hard for several years, and it is an out-and-out huge amount of money.
"A poisonous snake with a body length of more than ten feet." Zuo Dengfeng said that the length of the Yin Fire Snake had been expressed in the Xishen Inn Thirteen, and Zuo Dengfeng roughly estimated that the poisonous snake should be more than thirty meters.
"How many are ten zhang?" Sister Hua didn't react for a while.
"Thirty-three meters." Iron Shoes was the first to explain.
"How can there be such a big snake, no, never heard of it." Sister Hua shook her head again and again, looking at the two of them with wrong eyes, as if looking at two crazy people.
Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw this, the size of this Yin fire snake can be said to be the largest of the twelve earthly branches, and even he was startled when the previous thirteen marked the size of the fire snake, a poisonous snake of ten zhang, is it still called a snake, it is bigger than a dragon.
"Haven't anyone else here heard of it?" Zuo Dengfeng was not reconciled.
"I don't know, I'll help you inquire tomorrow." Sister Hua turned to look at the door, and another group of guests came.
Seeing this, Zuo Dengfeng nodded and motioned for her to go ahead first, and Sister Hua hid the gold bar in her sleeve, stood up and greeted the group of guests.
"Amitabha, let's go to the kiln." Iron Shoes yawned, and people in cultivation generally don't yawn, unless they are really sleepy.
Iron shoes means to find a place to sleep, but this is not what outsiders hear, if there is no Amitabha Buddha before, others will not think much about it, he said Amitabha Buddha followed by a kiln, which directly made all the diners in the restaurant look sideways.
"Let's go." Zuo Dengfeng picked up the wooden box and walked out, and the iron shoes came out, followed by Thirteen and the Boss.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the door, a thin woman quickly ran past Zuo Dengfeng.
"You don't learn well at a young age." Zuo Dengfeng smiled and grabbed the other party's right hand that reached into his pocket, the bones of men and women are different, women's bones are softer, and their wrists are thinner than men, so Zuo Dengfeng judged that she was a woman for the first time.
"Uncle spare me, I don't dare anymore." The thief who was caught hurriedly begged for mercy.
Zuo Dengfeng turned his head to look at her, this thief was not tall, but one meter five, his hair was very short, his face had a thick dirt, and he was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
"How old are you?" Zuo Dengfeng let go and asked.
"Eighteen, where the uncle is going, I can also lead the way, cheaper than those guides." The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed westward.
"Don't lie, how old are you?" Zuo Dengfeng spoke softly, and the little girl touched the softest nerve in his heart, reminding him of the first time he met Wu Xinyu.
"Thirteen." The little girl replied timidly.
As soon as these words came out, Thirteen immediately came to her side and sniffed her, Thirteen was very big, the little girl was very jealous, and after answering Zuo Dengfeng's question, she turned around and ran.
"Do you still have family?" Zuo Dengfeng Huang stepped forward to block her.
"Uncle, you spare me, I don't dare anymore." The little girl's face was frightened, she didn't see how Zuo Dengfeng moved in front of her at all.
"I won't hurt you, answer my words, do you still have a family?" Zuo Dengfeng slowed down his tone as much as possible.
"And my father, my father has a broken leg and can't be a guide anymore, and I can't do anything about it." The little girl hesitated for a moment and spoke.
"This money is for you, take it, and go home quickly." Zuo Dengfeng took out a gold bar from his bosom and handed it to the girl.
"Thank you, uncle." The girl took the gold bar and turned and ran away.
Zuo Dengfeng watched the girl run away, this little girl was very thin, so thin that it was distressing, she was also so thin when she first met Wu Xinyu.
"Let's go, go to the kiln." The iron shoes interrupted Zuo Dengfeng's thoughts.
"I'm not going." Zuo Dengfeng shook his head and said, going to the kiln is nothing more than to feel the ugliness of the world again.
"Then where do we sleep?" The town is not small, but the buildings are relatively sparse, and there are no hotels for people to stay.
"Let's go, go to the kiln." Zuo Dengfeng changed his mind again, he was going to the kiln, in order to feel the ugliness of the world again, and clear the psychological barriers for what he wanted to do next, as the old saying goes, the mountains and rivers show off the beauties, and the poor mountains and bad waters come out of the Diao people, the people of this town are not right, almost all of them are Diao people, he is ready to set up a formation to surround the whole town, and then force the whereabouts of the Yin Fire Snake, it is useless to rely on one person to inquire, these people will only desperately recall when their lives are threatened, racking their brains to say what they know.
"Amitabha, you want to go to the kiln to kill people again." Seeing that Zuo Dengfeng's face was not good, Iron Shoes frowned and asked.
"Kill someone, go and see." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand and shook his head, and then stepped forward, followed by Iron Shoes.
Although Zuo Dengfeng pretended to be unconscious, but doubts floated in his heart, and the words of the iron shoes inadvertently revealed that he knew that the Ji Yuan in the area where the Yin Wood Rabbit was located was slaughtered by him and Yufu, but he just pretended not to know, it seems that this old monk is not simple, thinking of the fact that Tieshoe pretended to be poisoned and coaxed him to find Yufu, the suspicion in Zuo Dengfeng's heart became more and more thick.
"Master, your face is blue, is it poisoned?" Zuo Dengfeng quickly grabbed the left hand of the iron shoe, the aura went in and out quickly, and instantly measured that the hand of the iron shoe was still in a blocked state, and the meridians were not clear, and the mind was not clear, this guy did not pretend to be crazy.
"You try me again, my marrow washing sutra has been practiced to the highest level, and I am not afraid of poison for a long time." The iron shoes shook off Zuo Dengfeng's hand.
Zuo Dengfeng smiled when he heard this, this guy is a thief and doesn't admit himself, but two sides prove that he is still crazy, but he will occasionally be sober.
After a while, the two arrived at the door of the kiln, the owner of the kiln was very good at business, and deliberately sent a few women of different races to solicit business at the door.
Just when Zuo Dengfeng looked at one of the young women suspiciously, the other party smiled at him and beckoned, "Hello......"
