Shao Xi and the others filled the water bladder, handed over the camel and horse to the caravan, and drove them to the back of the inn in Sun Lichang's mouth to tie them up, and they went straight to the wild shop that was rare in the desert.

The inn also looks like a two-story earthen house, and the adobe used to build the house is supposed to have been excavated from this oasis, which looks small, but it can withstand the cold and wind and sand of the night.

Walking through two somewhat airy wooden doors, the inn looks a little shabby, and the lower floor is a temporary place to rest and eat.

There was a dim oil lamp on the wall, a few old wooden tables and benches, and a stove room through a curtain.

It seems that before the caravan arrived, there was no business in this inn, and at this time the caravan of dozens of people had filled all the tables in the house.

Only the innermost table was set aside by Sun Lichang for Shao Xi and the others.

Before they could take their seats, the porters and guards in the caravan were already shouting for the innkeeper to give them something to eat.

These days, everyone has been tossed and choked enough, and now that there is finally such a place where you can eat hot meals, everyone naturally can't wait, which is understandable.

The shopkeeper of this inn is actually not a shopkeeper, and his buddy is actually a father and son.

The shopkeeper is about fifty years old, of medium stature, somewhat thin, with obvious wrinkles on his face, slightly haggard, and the whole person looks a little submissive, an honest man, both a cook and a buddy.

The other guy was a ten-year-old child, dressed in shabby clothes with a lot of patches, and his hair tied back with a straw rope.

Although a small face looks a little dirty, it can't hide the delicate and lovely face, and a pair of big eyes are smart and smart, and it can be seen that he is a clever and cute boy.

The little guy took the rag in his hand and wiped the broken wooden tables, which had been polished and shiny, and greeted everyone in the caravan warmly.

In fact, there is not much to eat in this inn, just some hot stewed mutton, dough cakes and some coarse grain wine, but this is already a delicacy for people on the journey.

Not to mention the hot stewed mutton, even this coarse grain wine is extremely precious, which can not only drive away the cold of the night in the desert, but also relieve the fatigue on the way.

Everyone naturally ordered whatever they wanted, and kept the father and son very busy.

The shopkeeper was busy serving the lamb stew in the stove, and the boy was running back and forth inside and out, serving wine to every table, and always had a lovely smile on his little face.

It can be seen that their inn has not had any guests for some days, and now a caravan of dozens of people is already a big business for them.

When the child brought the stewed mutton to the table of Shao Xi and others, he did not forget to say politely, "This place is deserted, and there is nothing good to entertain the guests, but it is hot, although the taste of our coarse grain wine is worse, you can sleep well at night after drinking, a few guests please use it slowly." ”

Shao Xi looked at the clever little guy in front of him, thinking that if he hadn't been born in this vast desert, he would have gone to the academy to study.

Now for the livelihood of the father and son, it is fate to help his father take care of the wild shop in this oasis so sensibly so early.

But looking at his innocent smile, he doesn't seem to have any complaints about his fate, maybe the arrival of his group today is his greatest happiness!

"What's your name? How old is this year? Is this inn just your father and son? ”

In fact, the inn is so big, whether it is only their father and son who can know at a glance since they came in, but Shao Xi just wanted to talk to this child, so he asked a dispensable question.

"My name is Lu Yunxiang, I am ten years old this year, this inn is our father and son, my father's name is Land Rover."

The child's answers were quite normal, only the name of his father at the end, Shao Xi fell on the table after listening to the chopsticks in his hand.

What? Land rover? Is it Aurora or Range Rover?

Lao Wu and Fu Biao, who were sitting at the same table with Shao Xi, including Sun Lichang, were also stunned when they saw Shao Xi like this.

I don't understand how he would react when he heard the shopkeeper's name? Did he know the innkeeper?

Especially Lao Wu, he said that he and Shao Xi had never heard of him knowing a person named Land Rover for so many years, why did he react so much today?

Shao Xi was stunned for a while before he realized that he was a little out of shape, and hurriedly picked up the chopsticks on the table.

I secretly scolded myself in my heart for being rare and weird, what's wrong with people calling Land Rover? Who says that only cars can be called that? I really overreacted.

Seeing the strange gazes of several people on the side looking at him, Shao Xi hurriedly pretended to be calm and coughed twice.

Some people who had nothing to say asked Lu Yunxiang again: "This place is so remote, why did your father and son open an inn here?" Besides, how do you get what you need on a daily basis? ”

Lu Yunxiang grinned and showed two rows of white teeth, and replied to Shao Xi with a smile: "Son, don't underestimate my father and son, I have been taking care of this inn with my father since I was a child."

"My father knew the desert better than anyone else, and every few months he would ride the only camel in the family to Yulong Pass to buy live sheep and coarse grain wine, which he brought back and kept in this oasis.

"My father's skill in killing sheep is not to be said, the knife technique is absolutely first-class, and it only takes more than half a month to come and go, guests, you should be almost half a month from Yulong Pass here, right?"

This little guy is quite clever, and he can see at a glance that Shao Xi and the others are from Yulong Pass, but they can guess that there are no other towns around here, and they can only come from Yulong Pass.

However, listening to what he said, it has only been more than half a month since Land Rover went to Yulong Pass, and this speed is really amazing.

You must know that driving the sheep and pulling the goods, if you are not extremely familiar with this desert, I am afraid that before you return to this inn, those sheep will have died on the road.

It seems that the Land Rover knows all the oases along the way, and it should be someone who has lived in this desert for many years, otherwise it would never have been able to do so much.

"If, as you said, since your father is so familiar with this desert and has such a good skill in killing sheep, why do you father and son not live in Yulong Pass and open such an inn here? Isn't it stronger in Jade Dragon Pass than here? ”

Lu Yunxiang drooped his little head, looking like he was sighing secretly, and muttered, "My father said that where there are many people, there are many rights and wrongs, and our father and son live here and only receive caravans and travelers, which is very good!"

"All the people are just passers-by, eating, staying in the hotel, paying and leaving, there is no right or wrong or grievances, so it is peaceful and comfortable.

"He also said that he named me Yunxiang back then, just to hope that I would be like a goshawk in the sky, flying into the clouds, flying freely in this desert, not bound by this world, although I don't understand what my father said, but I know that he must be for my good.

"But I don't want to accompany him to open an inn here for the rest of my life, when I grow up, I must go outside to see, I have to learn a skill to come back to protect my inn, I won't be as timid as my father!"

Lu Yunxiang said that the other Shao Xi can understand that Land Rover should have seen through the warmth and coldness of this world, and he didn't want his son to experience the sinister world.

That's why I left such a home for my son in this paradise, hoping that he can live carefree for the rest of his life.

But Lu Yunxiang's last sentence Shao Xi was a little incomprehensible, why did he learn the skills to come back to protect his inn? Why did he say that his father was timid? Did something happen to them?

"Little one, I can hear that you admire your father very much, but why do you say that your father is timid? I think your father is remarkable that he can come and go freely in this desert, and that he can take you to open this inn here to provide a place for business travelers! ”

Lu Yunxiang sighed a little young, and was about to say something more, when he saw Land Rover open the curtain of the stove room and beckon Lu Yunxiang to serve stewed mutton to the guests at other tables.

Lu Yunxiang turned around and responded, bowed slightly to Shao Xi and the others to apologize, and then turned around and ran to the stove.

Shao Xi looked at Lu Yunxiang who left, and sighed in his heart, this child is actually lucky, although he was born in this desert and grew up in this desert, he can always get along with his father day and night and run this inn together.

Maybe there are a lot of things missing in his life, but at least he is always by his loved ones' side, always by the side of the person who cares about him the most.

No matter what kind of person he feels his father is at this moment, for him, the Land Rover is the most valuable asset in his life.

Many people in this world have grown up around their loved ones, so it is natural to take their loved ones for granted that their loved ones love them.

Until one day, the person who has been familiar with him day and night for a long time can no longer be familiar, and can no longer get used to it, leaves him, will he find how precious and impossible to copy the things he took for granted at the beginning.

This child is slowly growing up, slowly yearning for the outside world, but when he really goes out, he will find that everything in this world does not belong to him.

What really belonged to him was the small inn left to him by his father, and his father may no longer be by his side at that time.

Maybe at that time, he will really understand that everything he longs for is actually not worth mentioning, and only his father and what his father left him are the most precious in this world.

When he understands these truths, he may feel regret and regret for his thoughts today, but these truths are of little significance by relying on the reminders and persuasion of others.

Only when one day he experiences it for himself will he truly understand.

Although it may be too late by then, isn't this what everyone has to experience in life?
