Chapter 588: The First Village on the Border
()
Chen Yin and the others have already arrived in the territory of the Eastern Desert.
Although the road here is not as easy to walk as the original official road, it is far less dangerous than the previous driver said.
Besides, they had been to Beiyuan City after all, and knew the general direction, so they were not wrong, although they were walking a little slowly.
When he learned that they were going to the country of horses, the coachman also changed to a new wheel.
However, I don't know if the road is too rough or the new car wheels are not good. Anyway, it didn't take long to walk in the desert before the whole carriage kept jolting up and down.
"I'm going to throw up......," Yingli complained, "I'd rather walk to Beiyuan City like this." β
"This road is not walked by many people, and maybe when we get to the main road, it won't be like this. Chen Yin patted Yingli on the back.
Chanyu rushed outside and asked, "Master, how long will it take to leave this path?"
"This small road because sometimes back and forth delivery, I still remember clearly, about half an hour ago is the first big village on the border of the Eastern Desert, although the road after will be much better, but I haven't walked the road a few times, and the night road is difficult to walk, there are no stars in the sky, if one is not careful, we will go in the wrong direction, so it is best to wait in the village until dawn. "The coachman seems to be talkative.
Yingli nodded vigorously at Chanyu, she was now full of thoughts about being able to get out of the car and rest.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you. Chanyu responded.
They didn't know exactly what time it was, only that it was late.
When you arrive at the village, you can barely see the whole of the village, only the outlines of the rows of houses can be faintly seenβquite a few.
Although there was some fire in the village, the whole thing was pitch black, and on the way into the village, a few oil lamps hung on wooden stakes and swayed.
"Stop, stop, stop. β
Behind the stake, a man softly called the carriage to a halt.
"When I go to Beiyuan City, it's not easy to walk at night, so go in and rest overnight. "The coachman consciously reported his home.
"The houses in the village are all full, even the houses are empty. β
Although the man tried to keep his voice as low as possible, it was still a little loud in this empty and silent place.
"It's okay, we'll stay overnight in the carriage. β
"Then take it upon you, and the carriage will stop in the square in the middle of the village. β
The man stepped out of the way.
Chen Yin stretched out his head and asked him, "This master, has your village always been so tight?"
"Fortunately, if you want to say that it is in demand, that is, recently, not only have a large number of your original people poured into the country of Masi, but also the newly established sect is also recruiting disciples," the man said here, and asked rhetorically, "Are you here for treasure hunting or do you want to join that sect?"
Chen Yin turned around and looked at Yingli and Chanyu, and the two didn't know how to respond.
So for a while, Chen Yin didn't speak.
The man was also afraid of asking too many questions and causing trouble, so he immediately said: "I'm just asking casually, you guys go in quickly, if you want to leave tomorrow, it's best to get up early, there are many people in the village these days, so as not to get stuck in the road." β
"Thank you. β
The creaking of cars in the silence of the street is particularly drowsy.
The coachman was familiar with the road in the village, and in the dark, he borrowed a little firelight, and soon parked the carriage in the square.
I can't see it clearly, but just by smelling the smell and listening to the sound, I know that this place has been used as an open-air stable.
Chen Yin's arrival caused a small commotion.
"Phew!" for a while, the voices of pacifying horses in the square came and went.
"Yo ho, a lot of carriages. Chen Yin and their coachmen themselves were a little surprised.
"Well, there's a futon in the wooden box under the seat, and you can take it out for the night. The driver himself took an overcoat from the roof of the car and put it on himself, and then got out of the car to see if there were any colleagues he knew.
The night in the Eastern Desert was extremely cold, and as soon as Yingli and Chanyu poked their heads out, they immediately shrank back, nesting in the carriage and reluctant to go out.
"Then you two go to bed first, and I'll keep vigil outside. After Chen Yin helped them take out the futon and lay it out, he got out of the carriage.
Tonight is covered with dark clouds, and there is no moonlight or starlight to be seen.
Chen Yin's arrival only disturbed these people for a short time.
Some of the coachmen in the square had fallen asleep and snored profusely, while others huddled together with cigarette sticks, borrowing a few stops of oil lamps and torches.
Yingli and Chanyu were already sleepy, so they fell asleep in the carriage.
Chen Yin sat outside the carriage with his back against the door, holding a futon over his body. He wanted to keep watch all night, but he didn't know that it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
When I woke up, it was already daylight.
The square in the center of the village has regained its vitality, and some horse-drawn carriages have been moving out of the village one after another.
Chen Yin lifted the curtain behind him, and Yingli and Chanyu were still asleep.
He jumped out of the carriage and stretched, catching a glimpse of their coachman still working in the place where the crowd had been crowded last night.
Chen Yin walked over and saw that one of them was holding a few dice and throwing them into the bowl.
The crunch of 'Karakala' was followed by a shout from the crowd β some happy and some disappointed β but soon everyone regained their composure and threw money into it.
Chen Yin sensed that their coachman's breath was disordered. Apparently he had been gambling all night without rest, and he could not rest on the road behind him to let this man continue to catch the carβnot to mention that he had other ideas in mind this morning.
"Oh, this is on the road?" the coachman saw Chen Yin, looking unsatisfied.
"No," Chen Yin said, "I think it's just here, and there's no need to go to the North Far City." β
"Eh, wait, I'll be here later!" the coachman said to the dealer as he squeezed out the crowd and looked at Chen Yin with a blank eye, "Childe, we have all agreed in advance, if ...... If you don't go, you won't be able to return the silver. β
"Yes, don't retreat, you can take it all. β
The coachman is happy, he is already addicted to gambling, and he doesn't go to Beiyuan City and doesn't deduct money, which is like pie in the sky for him: "That relationship is good, I wish my son all the best." β
After saying that, the coachman couldn't wait to squeeze back to the 'open-air casino' - completely ignoring Chen Yin's subsequent thanks.
Back at the car, Chen Yin woke up the two girls outside and told them their decision not to ride in the car again.
"What I said yesterday was all complaints, didn't you really want us to go to Beiyuan City?" Yingli jumped out of the car, tied her silver hair behind her, and put on her hood.
"What new sect did that person say last night, could it be Tianchi and Bifeng?" Chan Yu thought of it with Chen Yin.
"I guess so, so now we'll have to go and inquire," Chen Yin said, "and if it's not them, we should change the carriage, our coachman is completely addicted to gambling." β
