Chapter 177 [Storm and Cloud Changes] (II)

Luo Lie turned over his hunchback, ready to speed up the march when the weather improved, before leaving, he couldn't help but look back again, but saw two red balls of light flying straight into the sky above the ancient city, he immediately judged that it should be a signal flare, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, those bandits did not leave the ancient city, last night's sandstorm made them have to stay in the ancient city to avoid the wind and sand, and they could not successfully transmit the signal to the distance, so they did not send a signal until now.

At the same time, it also proves that the bandits who appeared in the ancient city are only one of them, and they still have a response.

Luo Lie didn't dare to stay, he knew that the desert was empty, and the signal flare above the ancient city could transmit the signal far away, and if the bandit reinforcements arrived, he would definitely be in trouble.

The camel also seemed to be aware of the danger, and accelerated its pace at the urging of Luo Hunt.

Two hours later, Luo Hunt saw a camel caravan passing by due north, firstly, the distance between the two sides was far enough, and secondly, the other party was in a hurry, so he did not notice Luo Hunt, and passed by Luo Hunt.

After Luo Hunt was hidden, he used the telescope to observe the team, and found that the camel team was about fifty people, all of whom were fully armed, and they should have seen the signal sent just now and went to the ancient city to respond. Luo Lie couldn't help but be a little worried, and only hoped that De Xili and they had already gone far away, and they would not be caught up by these bandits.

In fact, Luo Hunt is not far from the edge of the desert, and he has left the Tengger Desert in the afternoon of the same day, although he is still uninhabited on the way out of the desert.

I could already see the rolling mountains in the distance, but after walking for a whole afternoon, I felt that the distance had not shortened, and the mountains were still ahead. When it was getting dark, I finally saw people and saw three yurts on a small meadow by the river.

Luo Lie led the camel to the yurt, and before he walked in, there was a fierce black mastiff barking and rushing towards him, Luo Lie's mind instantly reflected some information about the mastiff, this is the situation he often appears in recently, on the way to encounter strange creatures, landforms, relevant information will naturally emerge in his mind, Luo Lie believes that this is related to the wisdom seed implanted by his father in his body, the seed is subtly changing his body, and even instilling all aspects of knowledge for himself.

Luo Lie stretched out his right hand and stared at the mastiff, the mastiff's huge head lowered slightly, his eyes were fierce, his mouth was wide open, and saliva flowed between Bai Sensen's teeth. Luo Hunt's gesture changed, and when the mastiff's eyes met him, his mood gradually became quiet, and finally he whimpered and fell on the grass, his tail standing up and shaking constantly.

Two herdsmen, a man and a woman, came out of the yurt, they were also surprised to see the scene in front of them, the mastiff they raised has a fierce temperament, and often takes the initiative to attack when they meet strangers, so they rushed out immediately after hearing the barking of the dog, for fear that the mastiff would hurt people, but they did not expect to see the scene in front of them, the mastiff not only did not hurt but behaved extremely docile.

Luo Lie smiled kindly at the two herdsmen: "Hello, I passed by here and went to Yabulai Mountain, because it was dark, so I wanted to spend the night. Luo Lieben didn't expect them to understand his words, after all, most of the people in this area are Mongolians, and there are not many people who know Chinese, and he is also ready to be rejected, anyway, he still has a tent and bedding, even if he is rejected, he can find another place to camp.

Unexpectedly, the man could actually speak Chinese, although it was jerky, but there was no problem in the conversation, the man said: "Please come in, although there is a desert here, but the surrounding area is deserted, and there are wolves, the night road is very unsafe, it is better to stay overnight, and wait until tomorrow after dawn to leave." ”

Luo Lie thanked him before entering, and at this time three children ran out of the tent, all of them were the children of the shepherd, they rarely saw outsiders on weekdays, and they were extremely surprised to see Luo Lie visiting. Luo Lie carried some candy in his suite, took it out and divided it with the three children, and the three children were very happy, peeking at Luo Hunt from time to time to make a cheerful laugh.

The shepherd's name was Zahe, and he lived by grazing in this area, and the Mongolian people were hospitable, and invited Luo Lie to come to the tent to do it, and his wife brought hot hand-held meat and freshly brewed mare's milk wine.

Luo Lie and Zha He sat on the ground in the tent, and the two drank three bowls of wine, and Luo Lie took the opportunity to inquire about the route to Yabulai Mountain.

Zahe smiled: "It is still seventy miles away from Yabulai Mountain, and it will take a day to walk." He paused and said, "What are you doing there?"

Luo Lie didn't say his purpose, and said with a smile: "Do something." ”

"Recently, there have been many battles in Yabulai Mountain, and many people have died, and even our local herdsmen have stopped grazing there. ”

Luo Lie said with concern: "Are there bandits?"

Zha He said: "Bandits? We are not afraid of bandits, but soldiers, this place, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, we used to live freely, but since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, suddenly there are several more forces, all under the banner of democracy and freedom, but after they come, who is not fighting for territory, exploiting the people, and doing things that are not as good as bandits!" Speaking of this, Zha He slammed the wine bowl in his hand, and his heart was extremely resentful.

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, it seems that the land of China is the same everywhere, the fall of the Qing Dynasty did not bring real democracy and freedom to the people, but let the land of China fall into a new round of struggle for power and profit, all kinds of warlords in order to obtain more benefits, unscrupulous means to deceive themselves, unlucky naturally the people. He took a sip of wine and said, "Let me ask you personally, have you ever heard of Yan Tuojiang?"

Zha He was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard Yan Tuojiang's name, he nodded and said: "Ganbian Ningxia Protector Envoy, who doesn't know within a radius of thousands of miles? This person is the Emperor of the Earth in this area, what's the matter?"

Luo Lie laughed: "How can I know such a big person, I just heard of this person's name, so I am a little curious." ”

Zahe said: "He is not a good person, and the constant fighting in Yabulai Mountain has something to do with him. ”

Luo Lie was stunned in his heart, he was not very interested in the melee within the warlords, but Yan Tianxin was now settled in Yabulai Mountain, if this matter involved her, he couldn't turn a deaf ear, Luo Lie said: "What kind of battle?

Zha He said: "I don't know, but I heard that a group of Manchu remnants came, they occupied the mountain as the king, so this Yan Dashuai sent an army to clear it, and last month, there was a team of 5,000 people besieging Yabulai Mountain, but instead of taking down the bandits, they fell on their heels, and suffered heavy casualties." ”

Luo Lie secretly wondered in his heart, Yan Tuojiang is Yan Tianxin's uncle, the reason why Yan Tianxin came here this time is to defect to his uncle, could it be that the uncle and nephew are enemies? Luo Lie trusts Yan Tianxin's character, and she came here to defect to her relatives, so naturally she will not do anything sorry for Yan Tuojiang, but Yan Tuojiang, as the emperor of the soil in this area, why did he want to attack Yan Tianxin and them? Why do you want to kill all the relatives and tribes that have been in trouble?

Zahe also saw that Luo Lie was extremely concerned about this matter, and asked tentatively, "Brother, are you looking for someone?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I have a friend who is near here. ”

Zahe said: "Let's listen, it's not that I'm talking big, there is no one within a hundred miles of me who I don't know." ”

Luo Lie wanted to say Yan Tianxin's name, but he thought that Yan Tianxin had always been low-key, and he should not show people in his original identity, he thought of Zhuo Yishou, Zhuo Yishou himself is a Mongolian, maybe Zahe has heard of it, Luo Lie said: "This friend of mine is a doctor with excellent medical skills......

Without waiting for Luo Lie to finish speaking, Zahe interrupted him and said, "But Mr. Zhuo?"

Luo Lie was pleasantly surprised, he couldn't imagine that it would be so easy to inquire, but this matter still needs to be confirmed, in fact, even he doesn't know Zhuo Yishou's real name, so he described Zhuo Yishou's appearance to Zahe, and Zahe laughed after listening to it: "It's Mr. Zhuo, I won't tell you that my youngest son had a sudden illness before, and it was Mr. Zhuo who helped cure it, and he is the lifesaver of our family." ”

The grassland people are already enthusiastic, and when they heard that Luo Lie was a friend of the life-saving benefactor, they naturally got closer emotionally.

It was agreed that he would personally lead the way for Luo Lie to find Zhuo Yishou early tomorrow morning, and to Luo Lie's surprise, Zhuo Yishou did not live in Yabulai Mountain now, but opened a medical clinic in the town below the mountain.

Luo Hunt didn't sleep well that night, always worried that the bandits would follow him, but fortunately things didn't get so bad. At dawn, the couple prepared breakfast, and after the meal, Luo Lie left the camel here, changed horses with Zahe, and galloped with him in the direction of Mount Yabulai.

Zhuo Yishou's medical hall is opened at the foot of Yabulai Mountain, this town is called Yabulai Town, it is the only way to Yabulai Mountain, although the medical hall is not open for a long time, but Zhuo Yishou's reputation spreads quickly, this Mongolian doctor is an all-powerful holy hand, not only to treat people, even livestock is not refused, this area was originally short of medicine, so Zhuo Yishou came here soon after quickly became famous.

When Luo Lie arrived at the medical hall, the door was closed, and only after asking the surroundings did he know that Zhuo Yishou had gone to help the cow deliver the baby. After inquiring about the location, Luo Lie and Zahe went to the herdsman's house and saw Zhuo Yishou in the bullpen with his sleeve held high, and a newborn calf lying next to the cow.

Zhuo was quite proud, looking at his achievements and smiling, at this time he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him: "Mr. Zhuo, don't come to harm!"
