Chapter 33: Desert Survival (20)

On You Min's birthday, because the entire Huangsha Castle was idle, Chu Yunyun didn't practice martial arts that day, and he was busy with Aunt You early in the morning.

Oil tea, scones, milk wine, steamed buns, pickled barbecue, longevity noodles, etc. are all prepared, and Chu Yunyun also took out the glutinous rice sweet wine that had been steamed and fermented with glutinous rice three days ago, and several women in the castle liked to drink it very much.

The spices here are very rich, Chu Yunyun can't and doesn't have the conditions to make cakes, so he plans to make a beef rice as a gift, although this is a very common snack in modern times, but no one has ever made it here. It is simple but delicious to boil the oxtail bone into a broth, add beef and some side dishes to make a marinade, cut the noodles into the size of a rice grain, cook them in water, pour the broth into the broth, and add pepper and other seasonings.

After eating, Uncle You and the other elders went back to the room, and the people who stayed behind also prepared for today's climax - the bonfire party. Everyone sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, and then they didn't know who started it, and when they heard the sound of the drums and the sound of the flute, they began to dance around. Chu Yunyun sat on the mat and ate barbecue, looking at these people who were jumping and laughing, and couldn't imagine that they were people living on the tip of a knife.

"Have you gotten used to it lately?" Yan Jingxing asked the person sitting next to him.

"Well, it's good, but the training ground is too far away, so I can't live directly in the house on the hill of the training ground, so that I don't have to spend time going back and forth. ”

"What do you say? You think that the house there can be lived in casually, and even Wei Lang and the others can't go to the mountains now. ”

"Cut, don't underestimate people, I'll live there someday. Chu Yunyun said with a smile. Perhaps the atmosphere was too relaxed, and she unconsciously asked the question she had been avoiding, "You went out a lot a while ago, did you have any trouble? Do you want to go out recently?"

Yan Jingxing glanced at her and shook his head, "It's nothing, I received some information to verify one by one before, but the results were all wrong." I'm going to go to town in a few days, what?"

"No, it's just that you always go out, I haven't been outside once, can I go to town with you this time?" Chu Yunyun has always wanted to know what it's like outside, but now that he has at least no problem protecting himself, he wants to go out even more.

Yan Jingxing thought for a while, after all, she was a little girl, and it was common for her to be curious about the outside, "Okay, I'll tell you when the specific time comes." ”

"Really?! Thank you. She thought it would take a little more to agree, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.

is really a little girl who is easy to satisfy, teach her to learn martial arts, and take her to the town to laugh so happily in these little things, Yan Jingxing also laughed when he looked at it.

Chu Yunyun looked up and saw the person opposite's eyes bright, with a smile that he couldn't hide, and asked him: "Why don't you shave at all, the whole face is only bearded except for the eyes, I don't know what you look like after knowing each other for more than a year." The full beard obscured his expression, and he didn't even know if he was happy or angry. ”

"What are you doing sitting here, go over and dance, hurry up!" As soon as he finished speaking, You Min ran over and pulled Chu Yunhu into the dancing crowd, leaving Yan Jingxing sitting in place and touching his beard and looking in her direction.

There were more than a dozen people who went to the town this time, because of Chu Yunyun's companions, You Min also packed up two big burdens overnight, and Yan Jingxing temporarily added two more people to protect his safety, who let him soak in medical books most of the time, and his martial arts were the worst in the entire castle.

Modong Town, which is about two days away from Huangsha Castle, is a relatively large town in the desert, bringing together people from the south to the north. Because he had to cross the desert to Modong Town, he prepared a camel team, which was the first time Chu Yunyun had ridden a camel.

In the desert, either the wind and sand are large, or the light is too strong, fortunately, Aunt You specially prepared a cloth for her to make a headscarf, and she felt a lot better after covering her head and face, but she was a little thick and her breathing was not smooth. Yan Jingxing, who looked at the bearded face next to him, was envious, "I finally know why you have a full beard, the wind and sand can't blow the sun can't shine, and you don't need to prepare a headscarf, it's really a lot of one stone, admire!"

The camels were very well-behaved and united, and in the desolate and vast desert, with the sound of camel bells, a line of camel caravans walked slowly, leaving a long list of regular hoof prints, and soon they were flooded by the wind and sand, and it was safe to sit in the hump, and swayed as the camels walked. Walking in the vast desert, I deeply felt my insignificance between heaven and earth, but looking at the partners who surrounded her in the middle to protect her, I felt that even if the sky was high and the earth was wide, no matter how small and fragile she was, as long as there were friends around her, she would no longer be lonely and helpless.

In the evening, we will rest at the Kubu Inn, the only desert inn within a radius of several miles. The whole inn is very large, all of them are earthen houses and buildings made of raw earth, which is a place for pedestrians to rest and stay, and the earthen walls outside are built very high to resist the invasion of wind and sand.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the inn, I was warmly welcomed in by the guys, and it was rare to come nearly twenty people, all of whom were the God of Wealth.

The inside of the inn is very simple, there are several tables and chairs in the hall, only one table has two people sitting on it, it seems that the hall is more empty, and their group of people is just full. "Did the people from the rivers and lakes come to the inn and shout, 'Come here for two catties of beef and a pot of good wine'?" Chu Yunyun looked at this quaint inn, remembered the heroic set meal he had heard before, and asked Yan Jingxing next to him in a low voice.

"Poof-I said Sister Chu, where did you hear this, isn't this trying to cause trouble" Yan Shu, who was sitting at the table, frowned at her after hearing it, and said, "I dare to pack the ticket, the person who said these words will definitely have an accident in the future." ”

"Okay, show off something with a little girl who hasn't seen the world. Yan Jingxing looked at the person opposite and twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "What kind of occasion do you want to order and score, each line has its own rules, such as in this ......"

"Shopkeeper, give everyone a bowl of somen noodles, remember, don't put anything else. ”

Looking at the shopkeeper, after listening to Yan Jingxing, he glanced at the people present again, and gave orders with a "understood, rest assured" look, Chu Yunyun felt a little strange, and suddenly remembered a question as if he was blessed, "Such a big inn is still a black shop?!, isn't this scientific, isn't the black shop the kind of remote and simple small inn that is difficult to come and let someone start, it's so big here, and there are so many people coming and going, they dare to do it?"

"Do you think that there are people in the desert who have nothing to walk around and play every day, the Kubu Inn is just an inn in this small desert, and many caravans do not walk from this desert, relying on what to maintain such a large inn every day. And you see that the guys just now still have the shopkeeper, and their skills are not bad, and it is not difficult to make some other special ingredients. ”

Chu Yunyun listened to Yan Jingxing's words and thought about what special ingredients, it can't be a black shop, it's all human flesh, right?!I looked up and saw that there was a person at the table who came first, and I put a chopstick of meat in my mouth, and vomited-

"Don't worry, these people are also the most discerning, they know who can touch and who can't be messed with, and they understand the jargon just now, just eat it with confidence later. You Min saw that Chu Yunyun seemed to be really frightened, and comforted her.
