Chapter 6: Youth
After the first battle in the true meaning of his life, Jun An was even more eager to leave the desert, but he still couldn't see the edge, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart: if he met such a Taoist priest again, others casually threw out powerful spells, and he would die.
He stopped, took out his pen and paper, and made a "magic talisman". This is also a primary spirit rune, Jun An did not hesitate to tie it to his feet, urging the rune, and the speed was immediately much faster.
In fact, this kind of low-level magic talisman is time-limited, and it is only used for about half a day. Jun An was afraid that there would not be enough yellow paper, so he didn't dare to do more, so he generally used it during the day and slept at night, basically using one a day.
Three days later, he finally saw the yellow sand under his feet, weeds began to appear, and at the end of the field of vision, he even saw some houses.
It is a small village in the interior, which is still very barren and inhospitable due to its close proximity to the desert. There are only more than 20 houses in the village, the largest of which is an inn, and this small flag is fluttering in the wind in the middle: "Luyou Inn".
Jun An touched the money bag and said in his heart: I can only live here.
After entering the inn, Jun An saw a person who looked like a shopkeeper, so he asked, "How much does it cost to stay in the hotel?" ”
The shopkeeper was looking down at the account book, and when he heard this, he was about to raise his head, when he suddenly pinched his nose and said, "How many days have you not washed it?" Go, go, go, go! ”
Jun An has not bathed in the desert for a long time, and the geographical location of Shacun is remote and lacks water, so he usually does not take many baths. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Isn't it just a hotel to rest?" How much! ”
The shopkeeper said with a disgusted face: "The ordinary room is one or two days a day, and the room is five or two days a day, and at least two days of money will be paid!" ”
Jun An knew that he only had two taels of silver, but at this time, even if his flesh hurt, he couldn't have stage fright. So, he took out the money bag given by Du Apo, took out the only two taels of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was also surprised that this tattered and sour young man could really afford it. The shopkeeper nodded, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, and told Jun An which room he was in softly, leading the way while talking.
Jun An sighed, and just took a few steps, when suddenly his brain "buzzed" and he was stunned in place. It turned out that he habitually pinched the money bag and found that there was still silver in it. He stretched out his hand and touched it, no more, no less, and two taels of silver.
Jun An guessed eight points in his heart, he motioned to Xiao Er to wait, then returned to the shopkeeper, and put down two taels of silver: "This money will prepare some wine and food for me, and I will go back to the vestibule to eat." ”
The shopkeeper pinched the two taels of silver, and was a little surprised in his heart, a smile began to appear on his face, and he said enthusiastically: "Okay, guest officer, you go in and rest, you can call you later, and you can also send you wine and food to the room!" ”
In the room, Jun An really poured out two taels of silver from the money bag. He tried to take the two taels of silver, but the purse was still empty. It turns out that two taels of silver can be conjured out of this money bag, but the original must be spent before it can reappear.
Jun Anxin sighed secretly: Grandma Du is really attentive.
After a while, Jun An took a hearty bath, changed into clean clothes, and collapsed on the bed to rest, thinking about the things in the desert back and forth, especially about talisman making. He knew that the road from then on would be dangerous at any time, and if he was careless, he would not be able to reach the capital, nor would he be able to find out his life experience. He didn't know how to cultivate, and talisman making was the only means of survival and survival.
Not long after, the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door: "Guest officer, the wine and food are ready, are you dining in the vestibule, or will I send it to the guest room?" ”
Jun An opened the door, saw Xiao Er with a smile on his face, nodded and said, "Go to the vestibule!" ”
Compared with Shacun, the products here are abundant, Jun'an saw that there were braised pork knuckles, fried fat sausages, oily eggplant, winter cabbage, and even a bottle of wine on his table. There were some dishes he didn't know, but he only knew about them through Wang Benlou's memory.
When he was in Shacun, Jun An also secretly drank the wine of his neighbor's house, but he didn't taste anything, and the wine there was as light as water. At this time, Jun An also learned from the appearance of an adult, poured himself a drink, and was even slightly drunk.
At this moment, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, as if I saw some excitement. Jun An was also unwilling to be lonely and walked out of the door, it turned out to be a slender young man in white clothes leading the camel, but the camel did not follow him, motionless, stunned.
The young man was very handsome, and probably felt that he had lost face, and his fair face turned red. In the midst of the ridicule of the crowd, he strangled the camel so hard that he wanted to drag it to the stable. The camel, however, seemed to look at him contemptuously, and still went about his course and did not care.
The young man was so angry that he had a fierce look in his eyes, and he even raised his hand to hit the camel. After thinking about it for a moment, he put his hand down again and stood helplessly beside him.
Jun An was also a little amused when he saw this scene. He walked briskly to the camel, took the reins from the young man's hand, and told him in a self-to-own voice:
"Leading a camel doesn't mean that you can pull it if you have a rope tied to it. You have to go forward like a friend, holding it by the neck. You see, although it is tall and has a long neck, there is a big bend under the neck, which happens to be our arms level, and it is very easy to pull it up. ”
As he spoke, Jun An led the camel to the stable. He then threw away the rope and turned back to the vestibule of the inn, where he continued to drink and eat.
After a while, the young man in white came in, glanced at the inn, and sat swaggering at Jun'an's table: "You are familiar with camels?" Do you have camels at home? ”
Jun An smiled and took a sip of wine: "Although there are no camels in my family, I grew up in the desert, so of course I know camels." ”
The young man in white immediately became excited: "Great, I'm just going to the desert, are you okay with me?" ”
Jun An almost choked on the wine, glared and said, "How many days did I walk before I left the desert, and now you tell me to go back again?" ”
"Can you do me a favor?" The young man in white took Jun An's arm and shook it gently and asked, "I'll give you money, it's a guide fee!" ”
"No, no, no, our direction is different, I'm going to the capital!" Jun An said a little impatiently.
"I've done my errands, how about going to the capital again? It just so happens that I'm going to the capital too. The young man in white was obviously not reconciled: "I invited this table of wine and food!" ”
Jun An was stunned, and the young man in white thought that he was tempted, so he hurried up and said, "Come with me, and take you to eat good things every day." ”
Jun An smiled, got up and walked to his room, and threw two taels of silver when he passed by the shopkeeper: "The wine and food just now, and then serve the guest officer a table, count me as a treat!" ”
The young man in white gritted his teeth and petrified in the vestibule.
