"Hmm. Gu Qing responded, and then said to Xiao Chen with a smile: "Chen, this is my housekeeper." Just call him Uncle Zhang! ”

After speaking, Gu Qing turned around and got out of the carriage.

"Your name is dust?" Uncle Zhang frowned.

"Yes. Xiao Chen looked restrained.

"You're in a desert because of lack of water. We revive you, but we can't keep you. Uncle Zhang took out a large package. "Well, I'll give you some coils, a jug of water, and a map. In the direction of our caravan, twenty-one miles further, there is Mangmo City, you go there first. ”

Without waiting for Xiao Chen to speak, Uncle Zhang snatched the conversation again. "By the way, here's a set of clothes, I'll change into them later. He looked at Xiao Chen's clothes with multiple perforations and said.

"Yes, Uncle Zhang. Xiao Chen agreed, but he was strange in his heart: "Wouldn't it be possible to take me directly to that Mangmo City, why do you have to bother so much?"

"I'll go first. Uncle Zhang turned around and got out of the carriage.

"Could it be..."Xiao Chen's eyes rolled, and he said secretly: "What secrets do they have? What important things do they want to do? They don't want others to find out their whereabouts, so they want to send me away like this?"

"Hehe, since you don't want me to know, I don't bother to pay attention to these things. Xiao Chen pouted, he was not a nosy person.

Even if you want to be nosy, you have to be strong enough. But Xiao Chen is an ordinary person now!And Gu Qing and his party are generous, it can be seen from the items they are willing to give Xiao Chen, it is definitely not an ordinary caravan!

After changing his clothes, Xiao Chen also got out of the car. To be honest, this costume is really troublesome to wear, and Xiao Chen has been studying it in the car for a long time.

The caravan is now resting.

The moon is in the sky, and a cold wind is blowing on the desert. This desert region, surrounded by the other four regions, is the center of the land, with few clouds and little rain, but not a small wind. The climate here is arid, and over time a large desert in the center has been formed.

At this time, it was already evening. There was no obstruction in the sky, and the changing bands of light could be clearly seen, the blood sun had already set halfway, and there was a blue moon on the other side.

"The night sky of this other world is very different from that on Earth!" Xiao Chen raised his head and sighed.

"Are you ready?" Uncle Zhang looked at Xiao Chen.

"Then thank you two for saving your life, and I will take my leave. ”

"Hmm. Let's go. In another hour, Mangmo City will close the city gates. Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said.

"I'm leaving. Xiao Chen took the package and walked in the direction of Mangmo City.

His back faded into the distant horizon.

"Uncle Zhang, you said he would be fine, right?" Gu Qing glanced over there, opened the kettle and took a sip of water.

"No, around this Mangmo City, no other sand thieves dare to open it. The Momang Gang's offense is also regular. Uncle Zhang said.

Sand thieves are the collective name of the people of the desert region for robbers.

"Oh. Gu Qing nodded. For Xiao Chen, she just thought this guy like a wild man was quite interesting.

"Qingqing, we need to hurry up and determine the route. "Uncle Zhang is drawing something on the ground.

An hour later......

"Hurry up! Close the gates! I'll have to go for supper after the change of guard!" a squad leader of the city guard was directing the men to close the gates.

Above the city gate, there are three big characters of "Mangmo City".

"One, two, three, force. Hey!~~" Several strong men pushed the heavy city gate. The gate is five meters high and seven meters wide, and is made entirely of fine iron, which is half a meter thick.

"Wait!~" A voice came from afar.

The squad leader frowned.

Xiao Chen ran wildly all the way, and finally arrived before the city gate was closed.

"Where did you come from, the stinky boy, who only entered the city now?" the team leader was a little dissatisfied.

Xiao Chen entered the city gate, bending over and panting constantly.

"Quick! pay the city fee, five copper coins!" a city guard approached.

Xiao Chen was stunned, he didn't know the monetary unit of this world.

"Copper... Coppers. Xiao Chen was still out of breath.

"Yes, it's better to be universal in the desert. The thirteen families can also cast. ”

"Oh. Xiao Chen looked more relaxed, and opened the package that Uncle Zhang gave him. Inside are several silvery-white or bright yellow coin-shaped metal plates.

"Here you go. Xiao Chen took out five bright yellow copper coins and handed them to the man.

"Alright. You can leave. The guard took the copper coin and left.

On the city wall, the squad leader watched the city gate completely closed and ordered to prepare for the changing of the guard.

"Captain!" the city guard who had just collected the city fee was full of smiles, and handed two copper coins to the squad leader with two copper coins in his hand.

"Uh-huh. You can add vegetables for supper today. The team leader casually took the copper coin, and with a toss of his hand, the copper coin flew in the air.

In fact, this entrance fee is only three copper coins...

The deserted streets are sparsely populated with pedestrians. Xiao Chen's clothes were thin, and there was already a hint of chill in the wind.

"The weather in this desert is really not very good. Xiao Chen complained and looked down at the map mark in his hand.

"In this Mangmo City, there is only one inn, called... Mangmo Inn. Xiao Chen raised his head, folded the map and put it in his arms.

Just now, an old man came from the front.

"Old man, where is the Mangmo Inn in Mangmo City?" Xiao Chen stopped the old man and asked politely.

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you just arrived in Mangmo City, right?" Just go down the road, turn left, and ......" He pointed in the direction.

"I see, thank you, old man. Xiao Chen thanked.

"Hehe, it's cold at night, hurry up. Brother. The old man smiled.

Xiao Chen followed the route pointed out by the old man and found this Mangmo Inn.

Mangmo Inn is a three-story stone building, in fact, all the buildings in Mangmo City are stone.

Above the main entrance, there is a big wooden plaque with four big characters written on it: "Mangmo Inn".

Xiao Chen walked into the door.

The first floor is supposed to be a place for guests to eat, and the polished tables are neatly arranged.

At this time, there were three big men eating noodles by the window in the east. One of them raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen twisted his neck uncomfortably. The strong man's gaze was like a sharp knife watered with countless blood. To be looked at by him was like being targeted by a ferocious beast.

"Sure enough, this is a world of martial artists. Xiao Chen sighed secretly in his heart.

A young man came over with a smile and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to stay in a hotel or have a supper?"

Xiao Chen looked at him and said, "Stay in the hotel." ”

When the young man heard this, the smile on his face widened.

"Guest, our inn is a Tianzi room is already full, and there are still some leftovers in the ground room and the human room. ”

"What about the price?"

"Well, five copper coins a day for a place room, three copper coins a day for a person room. ”

"Let's do it. Xiao Chen said casually.

"Okay!" the young man led Xiao Chen to the side.

......

After tossing for more than ten minutes, Xiao Chen could finally rest.

This city was once a small oasis, supported by a gushing spring. Although the amount of water is quite large, it cannot withstand the large number of people. After the establishment of Mangmo City, it has been strictly forbidden to dig wells for water, and the water consumption of residents in the city has been strictly controlled. Therefore, Xiao Chen's wish to take a bath is unlikely to come true.

The second and third floors of the inn are guest rooms, and the third floor is full of Tianzi rooms. Xiao Chen's room is No. 7, in the southeast corner of the second floor.

Using the key he had just received to open the lock hanging in front of the door, Xiao Chen lit the candle and entered the room.

It is about 30 square meters in size, with a bed, a table and a cupboard. There weren't any cobwebs or anything like that, but it looked like someone was cleaning them regularly.

Xiao Chen stuffed the package into the mattress, then drank a little water, cleaned it up briefly, and fell asleep.

Slowly, something in Xiao Chen's clothes was glowing.

......

In the dark, Xiao Chen existed here alone. Beneath your feet is a void, and you can't step on the ground.

Nine shiny stones, glowing, shining. They revolve around Xiao Chen, emitting white, red, orange, green, cyan, yellow, purple, gray, silver, blue, and nine kinds of light.

Xiao Chen watched the nine stones spin in front of him, and was stunned for a long time.

Suddenly, an impulse swelled up in his heart. He wanted the nine stones, he wanted them to cling to himself!

It was as if the nine stones were a super magnet, and their attraction to Xiao Chen was incomparably greater.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's brain was completely occupied by this kind of **. And he also had a special feeling that these gem-like stones were his own!

Xiao Chen slowly stretched out his hand, but couldn't catch anything. His hand passed through the nine-colored light.

As if his head was smashed, Xiao Chen's consciousness suddenly went blank.

The scene changed, and when Xiao Chen regained consciousness, he had already come to a white space. In front of Xiao Chen's eyes, there was that familiar figure.

There was a virtual sword shadow in his hand, and the figure was flying, and the flowing movements carried a unique beauty.

After the dance, the man looked back, but Xiao Chen's heart twitched violently.

Xiao Chen had carefully observed his current face with a bowl of water before going to bed, and this man was actually the same as his own face!

Xiao Chen opened his eyes suddenly, and his heart was still beating wildly "knock, knock, knock、..., like a drum.

His breathing slowed and his heart began to slow down. Sitting up, Xiao Chen looked at the quilt covering his body, and then at the table and cabinet next to him, his eyes swept around.

"I'm dreaming. Xiao Chen muttered, and then patted his face with his hand.

"I'm dreaming!" Xiao Chen was no longer as confused as he was just now, and at the same time felt a little funny in his heart. How can a dream scare you silly?
