Chapter 149: A Long Way to Go True Love
Then everyone had to burn incense and bow down to a poplar root, and the innkeeper had to recite some words, and Luo 13 couldn't hear what he was talking about.
For the next few days, the main task is to do one thing - dig sand! Remove the yellow sand from the area around the inn.
Two months have long passed, but Yang Yiding did not show up with his brothers.
Luo 13 thought to himself, Brother Yang must have something to delay, wait and see.
Three months have passed, and Brother Yang has not yet come. The owner of the inn told Luo 13 that this surnamed Yang would either come back after half a year, or he would die and not come back, so let him watch it, whether to continue to wait or give up.
Luo 13 felt that he chose to continue waiting. The silver taels brought by Luo 13 were far from enough to pay the innkeeper. So Luo 13 said to the boss, please keep the account first, and when Brother Yang comes, he will definitely pay off all the debts.
The boss waved his hand and said no, he didn't care about the money. So Luo 13 worked with his guys, entertained guests, and compensated with his own labor.
Half a year has passed, and Brother Yang has not returned. Luo 13 asked the merchants from the mainland if they had seen Brother Yang. However, some people provided some contradictory information, some people said that this Yang Gouzi was arrested by the government, and his head had already been cut off, and he was afraid that he would never come again. But some people say that this Yang Gouzi went to Haicheng to buy pearls, and if nothing else, he will come soon.
The owner of the inn also advised Luo Shisan to give up and go back to the mainland honestly, don't wait any longer.
Luo 13 finally made up his mind to wait another month! If he can't see Brother Yang, he has no choice but to bury Usli's ashes in the desert on the edge of the northern region to comfort his soul in the sky.
On the last day of this month, Big Brother Yang finally appeared, and this time he brought boxes and boxes of pearls in addition to bringing more brothers with him!
Seeing that Luo 13 was still waiting for him persistently, he was very moved, and he wanted to give him a whole box of pearls no matter what! Luo 13 repeatedly refused, so he had to accept it.
It turned out that the rumors were true, Yang Yiding was indeed arrested by the government, and he was originally going to be confiscated into the army and sent to the Northern Regions, but seeing that he was skinny and out of specification, and the brothers spent a lot of gold and silver to ransom him, they finally got him out of prison. When he came out of prison, two months had already passed, and Yang Yiding thought that Luo Shisan would definitely not wait any longer, so he left the matter behind.
And the experience of going back and forth to the Northern Regions many times told him that he could only make a lot of money by spending a lot of money to buy jewelry from Haicheng and go to the Northern Regions. The porcelain, silk and the like that were transported in the past, these ordinary merchants would do business, there is no longer too much oil and water to fish.
Facts have proved that Yang Yiding's decision was correct. This time I went to the Northern Regions, and I made a lot of money.
And that Usli's hometown, called Chixing Special City, is really extraordinarily far away, it can be said that it is a long way to go! Luo Thirteen had already surged up again and again the longing to see the Red Star Special City, but it turned into disappointment again and again.
Even Yang Yiding, who had been comforting him "It's almost time", began to wonder if the Chixing Special City in his memory had been buried by the yellow sand, the residents had long since died or when he migrated, a so-called "city" surrounded by broken walls and ruins and known as "Red Star Special" appeared in front of the caravan!
Although Luo 13 had lowered the standard of the scale and appearance of the "Red Star Special City" in his mind again and again, when he stood in front of this pile of rags, he still couldn't hide his disappointment!
Where is this city, it is clearly a tomb in the desert!
However, when people heard the camel bells of the caravans coming from afar, the men, women and children still walked out of this "tomb".
Whether old or young, men or women, they wear their most beautiful clothes—where are the clothes, simply unprocessed cloth and whole silk—on their bodies to greet Yang Yiding and Luo Shisan, a group of people from the Central Plains!
And among these people in Chixing Special City, the happy mood of the girls is the most vivid, they directly stretched out their arms and ran over, hugging these people one by one, while speaking some languages that these Central Plains people don't understand at all!
Since Luo 13 was the youngest in this group, he naturally received the most attention.
One by one, the girls took turns hugging him and kissing/kissing him, almost kneading him like a ball of cotton and playing with him like a pet dog.
Finally, after this welcome level, they began to have some so-called "conversations" mixed with gestures. Luo 13 first handed the earrings with the star and moon pattern in his hand to a person who looked like a chieftain, and after the man saw it, he suddenly raised the earrings happily and shouted something to his people. When the clansmen saw it, they suddenly boiled.
Then Luo 13 handed over the jar containing Usli's ashes that he had brought over.
Then Luo 13 began to compare the appearance of Usli, and said while analogizing:
"One of yours, yes, Red Star Special! Such! Have a beard! Oh...... This is how the clothes are worn...... Such...... Dying, oh, dying, take this, to that earring that you just gave you, yes, give it to me, let me bring it to this...... Yes, Chixing Tejo, yes, this is his ashes. Dead, I burned him! ”
The chief took it with trembling hands, his eyes widened, and he carefully watched Luo Thirteen's gestures, nodding constantly.
When Luo Thirteen was finished, the chief opened it and looked at it, and understood everything, and silently handed the jar to the clansmen behind him, and all of them passed it on. In the crowd, an elderly woman suddenly cried while holding the jar. Luo Thirteen thought, this should be Usli's old mother. The rest of the people also stepped forward to comfort the old woman.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent. Even those in the caravan who had been saying that Luo Thirteen had a tendon had tears in their eyes.
Then the chief didn't know what to say, and all the Red Star Tribes rushed up, took the caravan members' hands, and led them into a dirt enclosure.
It looks very inconspicuous on the outside, but there is a hole in the inside. made Yang Yiding, Luo Shisan and others dazzled.
The Chixingte people invited them to sit on soft animal skin mattresses and began to offer all kinds of nuts, meat, milk tea, etc.
Then the melodious sound of the horse's head fiddle sounded, and the girls sat around them with their big eyes, some of whom kept persuading them to drink mare's milk wine, and some of whom began to dance to the music......
