Chapter 49: The Strange Bazaar

Seeing that the tent was not far away, but it really walked over, and it took Ye Rusi a full two hours. When he arrived at the periphery of the tent, Ye Rusi was panting, but his eyes were brighter. The air smells of roasted animal meat, berry wine, and the smell of fat powder peculiar to women. The ears are filled with the wonderful sounds of exotic instruments and some occasional shouts, as if you are in a lively market.

Walking into the edge of the tent bazaar, Yerusi looked around and saw that there were at least a hundred tents here, and those tents were made of some kind of animal skin, tall and tough, and they still emitted a faint fluorescence at night. The tents were set up in several rows, and in the middle of them was a huge fire one foot wide, and next to the fire were meat racks with all kinds of strange beasts that could not be named. Some of the beasts were almost roasted, a giant nearly five meters tall, naked, with an animal skin apron tied around his waist, holding a steel knife, carrying a wooden plate, walked up to a nearly ripe beast, and skillfully cut the meat that had been roasted on the body of the beast. In a moment's time, the wooden plate was filled with fragrant roasted meat, and the giant looked at the wooden plate full of pieces of meat and smiled and showed two spiky fangs. He picked up the wooden tray and walked towards the largest tent, and respectfully placed the roast meat on the wooden tray at the door of the tent.

The huge tent resounded with exotic music as if it never stopped, and several scantily clad girls with veils saw the giant put down the wooden plate, came out with silver medals, and carefully put the barbecue meat on the wooden plate into the silver plate and brought it into the tent with knives and forks.

Ye Rusi looked at the pile of barbecue like a hill, and her throat squirmed unconsciously. However, in this strange place, Ye Rusi did not let his guard down, he carefully looked around. I saw that there was a wind lamp in front of each tent, and under the lamp there was a hide of an animal, and there were some things sparsely placed on the skin, and there were always some people standing or sitting next to those things, as if they were buying and selling things on the hides. But no one lingered in front of the largest tent, and two huge oil lamps were placed on stone figurines one foot high, like two huge torches, standing on either side of the tent. The sound of silk and bamboo in the tent was like a major banquet, and from time to time there were girls bringing food and wine in and out of it, and there were still girls dancing in it. The campfire square was facing the gate of the tent, and the giant was still seriously roasting all kinds of strange beasts, and he skillfully brushed the barbecue with oil and sprayed spices on the barbecue, so that the air was filled with the smell of meat.

Ye Rusi quietly approached the stall on the edge, picked a stall with no business and walked over, wanting to see if he could exchange it for some food and water.

The stall owner was a sickly-looking and pale old man, with a white cloth on his head, a white robe, and a goatee that reached his chest.

"May I ask the old man, is there any food for sale?" asked Yerusi cautiously

The old man raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him in the dim light of the wind. "Lord Ali's bazaar sells everything, but there is no food for sale," he smiled weirdly

Ye Rusi was very helpless, there were a few bones of unknown beasts on the old man's stall, and there were two black clay pots with a strong smell of blood in them. Ye Rusi thought to herself, is there something wrong with this old man, who will buy a few broken bones and blood, this can also be sold. However, although there was a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, I didn't show it in my demeanor. Still respectfully asked, "Then where can I buy food and clean drinking water?" I encountered a raid of beasts on the grassland, and the water bladder and food were lost" Ye Rusi made up a lie in order not to arouse suspicion

The old man with a sickly face seemed to have not heard Ye Rusi's question, closed his eyes slightly, touched the goat's beard with one hand, and said slowly: "I have fresh blood wine here, do you want to take two sips" After that, he took out an animal skin wine bag from his waist and shook it at Ye Rusi.

Ye Rusi hurriedly waved his hand, declined the old man's invitation, and walked towards the next stall.

The stall owner is not a human, but a humanoid creature with a long tail behind his blue patterned skin. "What do you want to buy, young man?" asked the stall owner, straightening up her slightly exposed breasts and beckoning to Yerusi

"That, that, I want to buy some food, my food is lost on the grassland," Ye Rusi said cautiously as she looked at the enthusiastic blue-skinned beauty and took a step back

"Hehe, I said it earlier, sister, here," the blue-skinned stall owner said in a big mouth as he looked at Ye Rusi and touched his own blood basin with one finger

"No need, really no need, thank you for your kindness" Ye Rusi looked at the beauty as if she wanted to swallow herself in one bite, only to feel a chill behind her back and hurriedly fled

Ye Rusi thought to himself that since he couldn't find food, he couldn't go to the giant and ask if he could buy a few pieces of barbecue. Now that you have come to the market, it means that this is a nearby place for the distribution of goods, and there are many people coming and going from the south to the north, and you may be able to inquire about the news of Lingxi.

Thinking of this, Ye Rusi took a good look at the nearby stalls. If you want to find out the news, you must find a stall with more than one person to inquire, and when you look at it, a stall with more than ten people around it enters the eye.

Ye Rusi walked quickly to the stall, and saw that the animal skins of the stall were full of strange things.

There are statues of naked women made of gold, tattered clay pots, bloodstained maps, broken silver flutes, and a guqin with seven strings broken.
