Pacifying the Quartet Chapter 89 Hot Spring Encounter
The hot spring area of Turpan is the paraphrase of the Mongolian language "Ah Ri Xiang", surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is named because there are many hot springs in nearby counties. Also known as Bogdal, Mongolian, means "behind the sacred mountain".
Dugu Xiaotian entered the territory of Turpan, bought two horses in the caravan, and then galloped towards the southwest of Turpan. Two hours later, Dugu Xiaotian arrived at the Kashgar market in the south of Turpan, where he immediately threw down his horse and disappeared into the sea of people.
Baicheng Tiereke Hot Spring, located in the upper valley of the Kapuslang River, the main tributary of the Tarim River, is about 50 kilometers away from Baicheng County, and there are hot water overflowing 200 meters along the river. The spring water here is rich in minerals such as lithium and boron, and has significant medical effects on various injuries and arthritis, and is known as "the first hot spring in southern Xinjiang".
"It's so comfortable!" Dugu Xiaotian soaked in the warm Baicheng Tiereke Hot Spring, felt the warm tingling from his back, and stretched his limbs comfortably.
There are a lot of natural hot springs in Turpan, and these hot spring waters contain minerals, which have a certain recovery effect on internal and external injuries. He came across a hot spring in the wilderness and took a dip.
"The last time I passed by Turpan, I was in a hurry, and it was rare to have time this time, so I soaked in several well-known hot springs in southern and northern Xinjiang, and recovered from my injuries by the way." Dugu smiled and thought secretly. At this time, seven or eight days have passed, and although he is still unable to mobilize his internal strength to fight with others, his musculoskeletal injuries have improved significantly, and he can move freely.
Two days after Dugu Xiaotian left Kashgar, Shenggeldan, Songzanlu, and Chaqinli rushed to Kashgar with more than 20 subordinates.
"Yu Guoshi, Kashgar's eyeliner has seen this Han boy, he walked out of the east gate two days ago and went east." A Tibetan man saluted respectfully.
"Okay, you have worked hard, reward the eyeliner ten taels of silver, you go down." Songtsan Lu said gently
When there were only three people left in the hall, Songzanlu, Shenggeldan, and Chaqinli, Songzanlu sighed: "We are now getting farther and farther away from Dugu Xiaotian, this person is really very good at anti-tracking!" ”
"Bastard boy!" Cha Qinli shouted angrily, "I actually came to Turpan to play, which caused us to go around in circles." ”
Sheng Geldan gritted his teeth, "Dugu Xiaotian's injury has not recovered yet, we must continue to catch up!" Master, please mobilize the nearby defenders and cooperate with our search. ”
Songzanlu nodded in agreement, and then said dejectedly: "Turpan is a place where many ethnic groups live together, and ethnic minorities such as Uygurs, Hui, and Mongolians have some of their own jurisdictions and tribal pastures, which are very scattered. This is not like the Central Plains, outside the city, the government does not have much control, no matter what, we must mobilize all the personnel and go all out to search and arrest! ”
"The water quality of the Tang Brablon Hot Springs is more medicinal, and the leaves and wild flowers in it have certain medicinal properties!" Dugu Xiaotian went ashore from a small hot spring pool, and said to himself while drying his body.
"Jingle bell", the crisp sound of the galloping horses came to his ears.
"Someone's coming! Probably residents of the neighborhood. Dugu smiled darkly, he didn't care, got dressed, took his belongings, ran to the back of the bushes next to the small hot spring, and hid his figure.
After a while, eight riders came to the side of the small hot spring. Immediately seated were young women with graceful postures and black veils. The first two women, dressed in exquisite Uyghur costumes, one has a cold and quiet temperament, and the other has an innocent temperament.
"Sister, this natural hot spring has a lot of flowers in it, and the effect on skin care is good!" The innocent girl said coquettishly.
The cold Uyghur woman was obviously the leader of the eight female knights, and she glanced around a few times, and saw that there was no one around, so she was relieved.
"Tajigul, you guard the surroundings, don't let men approach here." The cold woman said coldly.
"Don't worry, the two princesses, we will be closely guarded thirty zhang away!" Tajigul had the other five riders guard the four sides, while he rode around the hot springs to inspect the vicinity.
"Sister, there's no one nearby, let's get into the water quickly!" The younger girl untied her veil and urged.
"Saadati, time is abundant, see you are in a hurry!" The cold woman chuckled, "Lifted the veil."
Dugu Xiaotian was hidden behind the bushes, and he could only see the beautiful backs of the two women, but he couldn't see his true faces, and he saw that the younger woman had already begun to take off her outer robe, and she couldn't help but be anxious.
The Uyghur people are fierce, the women are extremely conservative, regard chastity as life, usually cover their faces with thick veils, and never meet strange men. It is a great humiliation to be seen in the face, let alone to be seen physically.
"Ho! There are people here! Dugu Xiaotian lowered his head and called softly.
"What people!" The cold woman was surprised, hurriedly put on the veil, and pulled out the matching sword on the horse.
Dugu Xiaotian smiled bitterly in his heart and walked out of the bushes. "I am Wang Tianao, a Han nationality, who is currently collecting precious medicinal materials in Turpan, and then selling them in the Central Plains for silver taels."
After that, Dugu Xiaotian pointed to the medicine frame behind him, these days, in order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Dugu Xiaotian pretended to be a medicine picker along the way, and collected some medicinal materials for himself to treat his injuries when he was free, and more than a dozen medicinal herbs were placed in the medicine box at this time.
"Look up and show me!" Saadati grinned and said happily.
Dugu Xiaotian didn't look up immediately, "Please get dressed and veil first." Then Dugu Xiaotian waited for a moment before raising his head.
Saadati was slightly disappointed when she saw Dugu Xiaotian's thick eyebrows and big eyes, with good facial features and average appearance, not very handsome.
The cold woman is the princess of the nearby Uyghur tribe, Taji Guli, although she is only seventeen years old, she is strong in martial arts and resourceful.
Tajiguli looked at Dugu silently and smiled for a long time, "Northern Xinjiang is not peaceful, how dare you collect medicine here alone?" She asked in a skeptical tone.
Dugu Xiaotian was shocked in his heart, and then said indifferently: "Don't hide it from the girl, Xiaosheng has practiced some fist and foot kung fu, and he can barely defend himself." ”
Speaking of which, Dugu Xiaotian slowly played a few long punches on the spot, "virtual steps and bright palms", "parallel step fists" and "lunge punches".
The two Uyghur women couldn't help but believe a little when they saw Dugu Xiaotian's calm punches and skillful moves.
This long fist is the most basic martial arts boxing method, most Han people who walk the frontier can recognize it, and most people who have practiced martial arts can recognize it.
Taji Guli pondered for a moment and asked softly, "Brother Wang, in addition to collecting medicine, how are your medical skills?" ”
Dugu Xiaotian understood her intentions as soon as she heard it. Turpan is located in the northwest, the climate is harsh, life is hard, sparsely populated, and there are only a few tribes that live by grazing. Most of these tribes lack medical care, and when people fall ill, they often die without timely treatment.
Dugu Xiaotian is currently being chased and killed by the masters of the King Kong Gate, and he can't help but hesitate when he hears this.
Seeing Dugu Xiaotian's expression, Tajiguli only said that he was worried about his personal safety, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't worry, our Uyghurs are very hospitable, and we treat doctors with great respect, I guarantee your personal safety!" ”
"Helping the world and saving people is a chivalrous duty!" Dugu Xiaotian sounded the entrustment of his deceased parents, and he had already made a decision in his heart.
"Girl, I have a little medical skills, but I still need to collect medicinal materials and bring them back to the Central Plains to sell, so I can only stay in your tribe for three days!" Dugu Xiaotian said softly.
"Great, let's hurry back to the tribe, grandparents and their illnesses need to be treated as soon as possible!" Saadati smiled heartily and urged.
