It's not that I don't love money, it's just that the temptation is not big enough.

Master Kang smiled very persistently: "If we are allowed to go together, I am willing to give half of the green mud beads to Han Gongzi, and give a thousand tea coupons as financing for this trip." ”

Hearing this, Helian Wenyuan raised his head, glanced at Master Kang, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Seeing that he was confident, he thought that this thousand tea coupons was already sky-high, but he didn't know that Han Changdui could give out 800 tea coupons, so how could he care about the financing of a thousand tea coupons in Qingqu District if he asked a guide like himself.

The wishful thinking of this wealthy old man Sabao is probably about to fail.

Sure enough, Han Changwan only smiled sarcastically: "Master Kang, please take care of yourself, we won't accompany you." ”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the room with a cold attitude.

Master Kang froze.

Is there really a man who treats silver and gold as dung?

Li Huwei was stunned.

What kind of family is this, there is a mine at home? Don't even want a thousand tea coupons, isn't this a loser?

The fifth beacon is located at the head of the moraine of Moheyan, west of the beacon, which is a vast barren land, with yellow sand and gray gravel rolling.

When the water is depleted, the salt seeps into the sand and gravel, and over the years it is deposited, all of which carry poisonous gases, making this once lush oasis into a grassless place.

In the eternal and unchanged vast sand, there was a crisp and long camel bell, and a mighty team of camels and horses slowly walked up the sand slope.

In the sound of camel bells, a faint human voice was heard.

"Master Kang, there are still more than ten miles ahead of the Golden Bowl Valley, let the big guys rest here for a while." Escort Li rode to the front to explore the way, and only turned back after a while, and said low to Master Kang outside the high car.

Master Kang lifted the curtain, glanced outside, and nodded: "Okay, find a leeward place and check the pack horse again." ”

Escort Li glanced around, and not far away there was a low and dilapidated wall, and the morning sun flowed on it, casting deep and shallow shadows on the sand.

He waved his whip and shouted, "Go, go there and rest for a while." ”

Rushing to the leeward place, the Li guards unbuttoned their shirts, revealing their chapped and white lips, and led the guards to inspect the pack horses one by one.

After these two days, some of the wooden pegs on the four hooves of the pack horse were loosened, and some were lost and lost.

The roasted gravel had scratched the horses' hooves, some of which had already festered their flesh.

Guards and merchants were busy reattaching wooden pegs to the pack horses' hooves.

A guard hurriedly came over and told Guard Li about the current situation: "Chief Guard, two people have been burned with poisonous rashes, and one of the hooves of a mule has festered, and it is no longer able to walk, so it can only be abandoned. ”

Li Huwei sighed, he really ignored this consequence.

He knew that in spring and summer, the wind and sun were fierce, and the scorched sand and soil could cause a poisonous rash in an instant.

Although there are strong winds in autumn and winter, the sun is mild during the day, and the water drips into ice after sunset.

He thought that in such a situation, even if there was sand and soil on his skin, it would not be a big problem, so he only paid attention to keeping warm and frost protection.

His face was not very good, and before he touched the edge of the green mud bead, he had already broken a mule, which was not a bad start.

He said in a deep voice: "That mule is here to stay, the two people who provoked the poisonous rash, have they been medicated, can the poisonous gas be controlled?" ”

The guard nodded: "It's already medicated, the poison gas is not deep, don't worry." ”

As he spoke, a snow-white flying slave spun around the shadows, then flapped its wings violently and flew into the distance.

Guard Li looked at the direction in which the flying slave flew and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Master Kang walked over in a panic, looked at the direction in which the flying slave disappeared, and said in a panic: "Escort Li, do you see, the direction in which the flying slave flew over is also the Golden Bowl Valley." ”

Escort Li's face also sank: "Master Kang, maybe it's a coincidence, the Golden Bowl Valley was abandoned a hundred years ago, the water source was exhausted, there were no people and animals, and there were no green mud beads that appeared, so no one would deliberately go to that place." ”

Master Kang nodded, but he was always a little uneasy in his heart.

After a while, the flying slave flew back again, spun around the heads of Master Kang and his party, and then flew quickly into the distance.

Master Kang and his party cooked soup, heated flax cakes, and were eating in the morning.

As the flying slave coiled over the shadows, a few pieces of bird poop fell, impartially, and smashed into the soup, and with a few clicks, the soup splashed out.

Everyone pinched the flax cake and stared blankly at the pot of soup.

On the sandy slope not far from Sabao and his party, the flying slave swirled and landed on Meng Sui's shoulder, cooing.

Meng Sui stood on the sand slope, holding a clairvoyant mirror and looking into the distance for a long time, hurriedly walked down the sand slope, saluted Han Changdui, and said puzzledly: "Childe, I calculated the time when the flying slave flew out and returned, about ten miles away from here, I just looked, and their group surnamed Kang also stopped in front." ”

Han Changwan hurriedly took the clairvoyant mirror, walked up to the sand dunes, and looked into the distance.

There is still a vast moraine of sand in front of me, with ups and downs, and there are no people or animals.

Grey winds passed through the weathered trees, gravel rolled to the ground, and yellow sand swirled.

The figure of Master Kang and his entourage can be seen very clearly in the clairvoyant mirror.

He walked down slowly, frowning tightly: "Ahead, obviously there is nothing, why did Sabao and his party and the flying slave go in this direction." ”

Meng Suijie nodded: "Yes, the flying slave is spinning around ten miles and refuses to fly any further." ”

Han Changdui stared.

After they left the Fifth Beacon, they walked for two days, and now they have penetrated more than 200 miles into Mohe Yanmoi, if the baggage convoy really enters Mohe Yanmoraine, more than 200 miles, what kind of crisis can there be, it will swallow up the elite of the army who are stubborn.

He urged the horse to retreat to Helian Wenyuan's side, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Helian, what is the place more than ten miles ahead?" ”

Helian Wenyuan discerned the direction for a moment, and was equally puzzled: "More than ten miles to the west ahead, there is the Golden Bowl Valley. ”

"Golden Bowl Valley." Gu Chen rushed to the two of them and said in surprise: "Is it the place where green mud beads appeared a hundred years ago?" ”

Helian Wenyuan nodded: "Yes, a hundred years ago, it was an oasis with abundant water and grass, but overnight, the villagers were killed, the water dried up, and the green mud beads never appeared again, and the Golden Bowl Valley was then abandoned, except for the caravan travelers who wanted to take a shortcut, no one would go there." ”

Han Changdui thought of the importance that Master Kang attached to the green mud beads, and when he left, he also spoke chiseledly, he came out to find this treasure, could it be that in the long-abandoned Golden Bowl Valley, the green mud beads reappeared, and what does this green mud beads have to do with the disappearance of the baggage convoy.

He thought for a moment and said, "Don't alarm them, just follow them from a distance and see what they want to do." ”

Meng Suijiao nodded: "Childe, you can rest for a while, I will go up and stare at them, they have set off, let's go again." ”

Han Changdui slowly walked to the fire, and in the copper bowl on the top of him, the soup was bubbling.

Yao Qi wrapped himself tightly, didn't even let go of his eyes, and looked at the fire fixedly.

Gu Chen smiled and stroked Yao Qi's face, and said narrowly: "Ah Qi, now the sun in Mohe Yanqi is not so hot, you can't tan you anymore, why are you still so tight." ”

Yao Qi sighed: "You don't understand, when you are burned out of the poisonous rash, you will know that it is powerful." ”

"Poison rash, what poison rash." Han Changdui squeezed over and said in surprise: "The poisonous rash will only get it in spring and summer, when the sun is scorching and the sand is hot. ”

Yao Qi licked his dry and cracked lips, and said quite disagreely: "Childe, don't think that the sun is not so hot during the day now, so you should take it lightly, this sun is not sun, it is relative, although the sun is not dry during the day, but at night it does drip into ice, and the alternation of cold and heat is so radical, it is not surprising that the skin is more vulnerable to damage and burn a poisonous rash." ”

Gu Chen was taken aback: "Ah Qi, is what you said true?" I don't read much, don't lie to me. ”

Yao Qi said seriously: "I read a lot, I don't lie to you." She thought for a moment and found the right language to describe the matter: "Let's just put it this way, a piece of pork, put it in the sun for a few days, and then freeze it in the ice cellar for a few days, and when it comes out again, is it more likely to rot than pork that is not made at all." ”

Han Changdui and Gu Chen had no experience in cooking in the stove room, but they had both seen dead people, and when they thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and subconsciously raised their hands and looked at them carefully.

After reading it, I breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, it's not rotten.

Before this breath was completely relaxed, there was an exclamation from the side, it was Chen Qi shouting.

"Ahhh Chen Qi held a small bronze mirror and looked desperately at his face, the more desperate he became, and his face turned blue: "My face, it's over now." ”

Several people rushed over in a hurry, and at a glance, they were shocked.

Chen Qi's cheeks and hands were covered with red spots, densely packed, and had been connected into patches, these red spots were itchy and unbearable, but when they touched it, they hurt into the bone marrow.

He crossed his hands, wanted to scratch but didn't dare to scratch, didn't dare to touch it, could only howl in pain.

Seeing this, the two heralds sent by Xu Xiangli to follow into Mohe Yanmoi also changed their faces, and exclaimed in unison: "Poisonous rash, how can you still get poisonous rash at this season." ”

Han Changwan and Gu Chen glanced at each other, originally half-believing Yao Qi's words, but now they believed it all.

Han Changwan said eagerly: "Chen Jue, don't catch it yet, I brought medicine, although it is not much, but it is enough for you." ”

As he spoke, he brought two long-necked porcelain bottles, one bottle was bright red and the other was as white as jade.
