On the gray and simple ancient road, a gray and simple caravan moved slowly, and everyone's face was flushed with the same gray and simple fatigue. The group walked straight to the shade of the trees beside the ancient road, lying or sitting in unison, exchanging heat with the shady earth. The three or five camels of the caravan also picked a shade and lay down to chew their teeth, as if they were talking about how tired they were.

The sun in the desert is fair to all living beings, and if you don't care about it, it doesn't matter much to your life. Even if you are a beautiful woman, tell it that you are angry, and then hang your face, it will not lead a dark cloud to cover your face to coax you and stop roasting you.

People who have just come out of the desert lie in the shade of the trees and look at the place they just walked out, as if they are looking at the first half of their lives.

"Master, this can't be done without money, the brothers almost confessed to it." A middle-aged man leaning on a camel took a sip of water and complained.

"What's the money! It's already more expensive than usual, just a box, how much do you want? A bearded man exclaimed.

"There aren't many things, but how can there be anything like you?" The middle-aged man said angrily, "People are eager to go out of the desert as fast as they want, but you guys are good, just let us press the speed, and walk for three full days longer than usual, three days!" ”

"yes!" "That's it!" "How can there be such a ......," the caravan everyone echoed.

"What's wrong with three days, we have enough water, and we can walk for more than three days." The bearded man said.

"Big brother, the terrain in the desert is the same every day, and it may be several times a day, and if you stay for a moment, you may stay inside forever." Middle-aged humane.

"It's just that I've never done anything like this! How can anyone deliberately let go slowly. Everyone echoed him, and it seemed that this middle-aged man was the leader of the caravan.

"Besides, the main family, the three of you have been walking on camels all the way, and our brothers are all walking, you see, the soles of my feet are all soaked!" The middle-aged man said again.

The bearded man was about to say something more, but a more handsome young man next to him stopped him and said, "The three of us must always maintain the most energetic energy, because there may be something that you can't cope with at any time." ”

"Who are you bluffing, you really think you're a hero with a broken knife, I pinch two of them with one hand with a body like yours, and I can dig a pit and bury you with the other hand." One of the caravan was lying on the ground and lazily walking.

The handsome young man laughed angrily, and the bearded man strode towards the man, and heard the last of the three shout: "Xiao Ming." He shook his head and pulled Dahan towards the back, and Dahan also snorted coldly.

"This big brother, this time you are really in danger. In this way, when you get to Linze City in front, you will be given another hundred taels, and there may be more contacts in the future. The last person to speak laughed.

"It's still the master who listens to what he says, and he also sympathizes with our bitter man who earns this money for his life." The leader straightened his body and clenched his fist at the young man who spoke.

"My brother! You are crazy? A hundred taels? It's enough for me to lie in the pillow spring courtyard for half a month! The bearded man shouted.

"Brother Yuan!" The handsome young man also shouted softly, and then walked up to him and whispered, "How can we have a hundred taels of silver......

"It's okay, let's go first." Chen Yuan said, and then whispered: "Maybe you don't have to pay for it." ”

The dusty caravan set out again, even after a small rest, much faster than it had just moved.

"Brother Yuan, it seems that no one is really following." Gu Ming and Chen Yuan rode camels side by side and said in a low voice.

"There's no reason, it's undoubtedly important to them, otherwise why would they bother with it." Chen Yuan also suppressed his voice to talk to him.

"Maybe we've swept it away? There are probably only so many people who will remain in Silver City. Gu Ming said.

"Unlikely, you think, people are locked up in Houjiachuan, they are in the gambling house, even this has to be divided into two places, who knows if there are other places. Ji Tongcheng is a great good man on the bright side, and Wang Yunshan is a county order, how can he be uprooted by us if he hides it so deeply. "Chen Yuandao.

"Then let's go, wouldn't those women and children in the Houjiachuan house be very dangerous." Gu Ming said.

"Not for the time being, the source of their danger is in that box at the moment, they don't care about it, the people there are useless to them for the time being." Tatsu Yuandao.

"We deliberately slowed down and walked in the desert for three more days. It's just that they are afraid that they will not find out in time, or they will not be able to keep up, but no one will keep up. Gu Ming said.

"Maybe it's already up to date?" Chen Yuan smiled evilly, glanced at Gu Ming and said, "Perhaps, we have been following them?" ”

Gu Ming's eyes widened when he heard this, "You mean ......?"

Chen Yuan put his index finger in front of his mouth and made a silent gesture.

"Are you sure?" Gu Ming asked.

"Not sure yet, but it's possible." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Then I'll take a chance to remind that rammer, don't be reckless." Gu Ming said.

Chen Yuan looked at the rammer walking in front of him, and scratched his head, his buttocks, his chest, and his waist in two steps...... It seems that there are lice that have been stabbed all over the body to tell each other, and laughing: "He is already guarding against it......"

"Okay......" Gu Ming felt that he was a rammer at the moment, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Aren't we going to Phoenix Mouth?" Why do you have to change the route to Linze again? ”

"Aren't you worried about the safety of those people in Houjiachuan?" Tatsu Yuandao.

"yes." Gu Ming nodded.

"Wouldn't it be okay to take them to Linze." Tatsu Yuandao.

"Can the King of Dingxi agree?" Gu Ming asked.

"Just let the king of Dingxi pick it up." Tatsu Yuandao.

Gu Ming was dumbfounded.

"Lord's house, it will take at least two hours to get to Linze forty miles ahead, and the brothers have not eaten the grain of rice for most of the day, you see......" said the middle-aged man in the lead.

"What am I looking at? What do you have to say, and you want to add money? Dai Er shouted.

"No, from this fork in the road, two or three miles away, there is a restaurant, specially for the merchants to rest, the food is also very delicious, and the wine is good." The Way of the Leader.

"What!" Dai Er's eyes widened, and the leader was flustered. "If you have wine, you don't say it sooner! I won't rest in the shade of the trees at that time, how nice it would be to come here directly! "Dai Erdao.

Everyone pouted.

"Quick, lead the way! Drive! Dai Er turned over the camel, slapped the camel's buttocks, and gave orders like a horse, saliva already flowed from the corners of his mouth, and a large beard condensed.

When Chen Yuan and Gu Ming entered this small shop, Dai Er's cold dishes had already been eaten, holding a jar of wine in his arms, like a loving father holding a child he hadn't seen for a long time, he looked at the two and said vaguely: "Hurry up, sit!" The hot dish came up right away. Chen Yuan and Gu Ming sat around Dai Er, standing the box next to their hands. The caravan of fellow caravans took their own seats at another large table.

"Don't look at this place, the wine and food are really good, swallow it." Daiji doesn't know if he's complimenting.

"You rammer, you have no soul when you see wine, why do you eat and drink." Gu Ming said in a suppressed voice.

"Hey! What are you afraid of, if you want to put it down, you have to put the three of us down together, otherwise they will get a ball. Dai Er rolled his eyes and whispered. So if that's what we think, I've been running in so long before you, and it's absolutely fine to ask for something to eat and drink first. You two come in and pay more attention to the back end. After that, he took a big sip of wine, and both of them swallowed their saliva with a comfortable appearance.

"Look, I said he was on guard." Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"That's just in case......" Before Gu Ming finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dai Er: "Okay, you are not annoyed, chatter!" I've tried it for you, safely! After that, he handed the wine jar to Gu Ming, Gu Ming was about to continue to keep a straight face, but Dai Er stretched out his hand too strongly, and the wine spilled from the wine jar wet his placket, and the fragrance came up......

"Ok! It's not that good, but it's not bad either. Gu Ming drank the bottom of a jar in one go, wiped his mouth with his cuffs, and commented seriously.

"Really? I'll taste it. Chen Yuan took the jar and drank it dry.

"Three guest officers, here comes the food!" After a while, Xiao Er shouted and trotted over, with two plates in his hands, and two plates on his outstretched forearm, so he could be stable while trotting, and the four dishes came up in one trip.

"Sauce chicken, braised duck, steamed carp, stewed elbow." Xiao Erluo reported a name on a plate of dishes, which was very neat, and at the end he half bent over, looking at Dai Er and San with a smile, without speaking, there was already a word on his face, "What else does the guest officer command?" ”

"Finished?" Daiji asked.

"It's over." Xiao Er replied.

"What about the three of us, who will eat four dishes for you?" Generations of the second way.

"Guest officer, you just ordered four dishes." Little Erdao.

"What? What did I order? Daiji asked.

"Little two! Quick, grab a jar of wine! Chicken, duck and fish are all for the master! Hurry up, hurry up! Xiao Er learned in a thick voice.

Chen Yuan and Gu Ming laughed, and Dai Er also choked out a mouthful of cold dishes with laughter, and beckoned to Xiao Eryi: "Come on, come on, come here." ”

Xiao Er approached, and Dai Er stood up and pretended to fight, so frightened that Xiao Er hugged his head. Dai Er gently fanned the ground on the back of Xiao Er's neck and said, "Lao Tzu is asking you to take out anything delicious!" It's not just chicken, duck, fish, and meat! With a smile, he slapped Xiao Ersi word by word, and said angrily: "Get out, good wine and good meat come and go." Xiao Er also knew that this master was playing with himself, and he didn't mean to blame, so he smiled red, scratched his head, and ran away.

"This cub doesn't know martial arts, I've just tried it." Daiji said in a low voice.

"Well, people with evil intentions don't blush." Chen Yuan also whispered.

"Yes, there's no need to be so skilled in serving dishes, that's too careful." Gu Ming also said.

"Is that what we thought wrong? Safe here? Who are also safe? Daiji asked.

"Look again." Tatsu Yuandao.

The whispering appearance of Chen Yuan's three people was extremely disproportionate to the hustle and bustle at the other table, and the big men of the caravan had not yet served their dishes, and several people had already drunk three or five jars of wine. Two punched, one squinted at the battle, ready to replace the losing one. The rest of the people chatted about the past, which things were transported, which times they encountered what risks, and the few people who were blushing sometimes sighed, sometimes laughed. The more Dai Er listened, the more angry he became, and he only felt that the first half of his life seemed to be more wonderful than him, and he shouted jealously: "What a noise!" Drink less! After a while, I missed the road, and I didn't give half of it! ”

A few people were silent for a while, and the middle-aged man in the lead said: "Master, don't worry, you can't make a mistake." Less than forty miles ahead of us we entered the city, and the brethren finally came out of this journey, so that we could let loose and wander. The lord thinks we are loud, so we are quieter. ”

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Where is it, brother, you eat and drink well, let's go after resting, anyway, just close the city gate and enter the city." ”

"This brother has always been very attentive to his words, and he is also considerate of our brother, I'll bring you one!" The middle-aged man arched his hand, picked up the bowl and saluted it from afar, and took a dry mouthful.

Chen Yuan also picked up the wine cup, looked at him and nodded, and drank it all.

After most of the hour, Chen Yuan and the three of them were full of wine and food, and Gu Ming wiped off the silver chopsticks and put them into his clothes. It's been more than half an hour since he suffered, and he has become a special drug test, and he eats every dish first, and only after nodding his head did Chen Yuan and Dai Er move their chopsticks. The caravan at that table was also burping, several people had misty eyes, as if they were going to fall asleep in the next moment, and a few people were talking with big tongues, still talking with their shoulders on their backs, and they didn't know what each other was talking about.

"Let's go! Town! Dai Er shouted.

With the jingle of bells, everyone went out of the shop, and Xiao Er picked up the fallen stool, helped pick up someone's clothes from the ground, and sent everyone out of the door.

"Little Er, remember, chicken, duck and fish are not four dishes." Dai Er smiled and threw Xiao Er a piece of broken silver.

"Gotcha! Thank you! Xiao Er smiled and said, "Next time you come, just order food, and drink wine without money." ”

"Oops! Just say this to you, I have to come again. Daiji said with a smile.

"Xiao Er, it's better to just collect the wine money and get rid of the food money! This will also reduce losses. Chen Yuan also smiled.

"yes, we really can't eat much." Gu Ming also said.

"Okay, as long as a few masters come back." Xiao Er said with a smile.

Everyone staggered away, and Xiao Er made another gesture: "A few masters go on the road slowly, go all the way." ”

"Where's Maozi?" Chen Yuan asked, looking around with the box.

"It's right next to the stable." Little Erdao.

"Let's go, I'll be relieved." Chen Yuan said to the two.

"It's okay, I'll wait for you." Generations of the second way.

"Lord, what do you have in this box?" The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Chen's back and asked Gu Mingdao in a low voice. "All the way, the three of you will follow the cart in turns, never more than four or five feet away from it, and that brother will take it with him at this time."

Gu Ming smiled and said, "My eldest brother has the best kung fu, maybe the two of us have drunk, he is not at ease, he is afraid of losing it." ”

"Here today, our team of our own people, and there are no other merchants, so what is there to worry about." Middle-aged humane.

Gu Ming was silent.

"What's so expensive? I've moved that box, and it doesn't weigh much. The middle-aged man whispered to himself again.

"Don't be curious, isn't your rule just not to read or ask, just to deliver?" Gu Ming said with a smile.

"That's it! I'm just curious, and if the master doesn't say it, I won't break the rules. The middle-aged man patted his chest and said.

After a few words, Kung Fu Chenyuan had returned, and his belt didn't seem to be tightened, and he was tidying up as he walked.
