The northwest land is connected to the Western Regions, and the trade roads have been accessible since ancient times, and the long trade roads are long, and the Hu merchants pull the camel caravan, like the frame of a prisoner car, and the orchids with tulle on their faces lean lazily against the wooden pillars, looking at the mountain ridges stretching in the distance.

Occasionally, I heard the copper bell ringing at the end of the road ahead, and looked curiously, in the direction of Chang'an, in the dust, an old donkey gnawed on the weeds on the side of the road, while slowly walking towards this side, on the back of the donkey, a scholar sat leisurely, turned over a drawing in his hand, raised his head from time to time to look at the surrounding mountains, and took the brush in his hand to sketch on the paper.

The donkey's four hooves wanted to speed up, but the scholar stretched out his hand and knocked it on the head, honestly hummed twice, spewed out, passed by the camel caravan, the donkey saw the tall camels, raised his face and hissed, frightened the string of camels to swing their heads, trembling in panic, pulling the vehicle, looking at the group of orchids outside 'woo w......ow' exclamation, staggering into a ball.

"I'm not honest again!"

Lu Liangsheng rolled up the drawing and knocked it on its head, arched his hand to confess to the Hu Shang who was dragging the camel, urging the old donkey to leave quickly, and in the shaking bookshelf, the small door creaked open and pushed open a small half, and a pair of bean-sized toad eyes poked out of sight.

"Liangsheng, hit it a few more times, this old donkey just doesn't clean up. ”

This is the last time I remember rolling off a cliff.

The old donkey hissed back, shook his back, the door shook open, the toad just shook it, the frog webbed the door frame, slapped the belly twice, looked at the staring donkey's head, and laughed.

"How can the old man not be prepared!"

Bai Huahua's belly was circled, and it was two ropes that had long been tied strongly, and they were shortened a lot, even if they fell down, they would be dragged to the door at most.

"Hmph, is it really an old man who has no wisdom?"

Between the ups and downs and swaying, the camel caravan was already far away, and the toad Taoist stretched his limbs and sat down on the edge of the small door, and the old god was looking at the desolation that only had in the northwest.

"The old man is back again, and the mountains in the northwest are still magnificent......"

"Then why don't you build a house for Master here?"

Lu Liangsheng, who was sitting on the back of a donkey, heard Master's words, put down the drawings and said with a smile: "Then Master will be able to see the mountains in the northwest every day." ”

"Being a teacher is just talking. ”

The slightly hot mountain breeze blew, and the toad raised his face comfortably, "...... there's nothing to eat here, otherwise why would the teacher leave back then." ”

Hehe.

Lu Liangsheng chuckled, and the master and apprentice said word by word, and the camel team that went away stretched out in the skylight and soon disappeared into the road behind.

The distance to Wujiang Mountain is not yet known, and everyone else is scattered to find the regional identification mentioned in Zhu Erniang's mouth, it may take some days or two, but once it is found, it will take half an hour to reach that side.

On the undulating donkey's back, he looked at the scattered sky clouds, and on the blue sky, a red dot dragged a long shadow, as if hanging out of the sky, but Lu Liangsheng knew that the thing kept flying towards this side, maybe it won't be long before more and more people will see it.

Thinking of the five-yuan master, Lu Liangsheng also had an indescribable complexity in his heart, firstly, Yuwen Tuo said that the other party was resisting the catastrophe of heaven and earth, and secondly, back then, the Prayer Fire Sect made the earth fire to kidnap women and children for human sacrifice, which only directly and indirectly affected countless people to die for this.....

When I thought about it, in the bright sunshine ahead, next to the road, there was a tea shed, the dirty flags were swaying in the wind, the walls of the loess fortress were around a circle, and the holes of the earth bees were spotted on it, and the shopkeeper was a somewhat hunchbacked old man, who took two bowls of tea that seemed to be unfinished by the previous guests and poured them into the wooden barrel outside the shed, and greeted Lu Liangsheng who walked the road with a smile.

"This son, the weather is hot, you might as well come in and drink a bowl of herbal tea to quench your thirst and cool off. ”

Lu Liangsheng pulled the reins and tilted his head: "Master, why don't you eat here?"

The old donkey under him also stopped abruptly at the same time, the bookshelf behind him swayed, the toad Taoist came back to his senses, fell sideways, rolled to the door frame and knocked down, turned over the door, was strangled by the rope, and the whole round body hung outside the bookshelf.

"The ..... of his mother" Toad Daoren squinted, with a 'sure enough' expression, his puffing webbed chest swayed, and his head touched the doorway from time to time.

After a moment, his stomach rang with a 'grunt~' and he smacked his lips.

"Well, but it's imperative for ..... to put down the division first. ”

Over there, the apprentice's hand reached out and untied the rope, Lu Liangsheng held the master in his palm and put it on his shoulder, before pulling the reins, and the former old donkey walked towards the tea shop.

The furnishings inside are shabby, such a roadside stop, you can't expect too much, there is only one old man in the store to guard, seeing the scholar come in, he quickly invited the other party to sit down at the square table at the door.

"Look at the son's clothes, he should be a rich family, there is nothing to eat in the shop, only Hu cakes and herbal tea, please make do. ”

The old man opened the door to do business but also made it clear, first explain what is in the store, one by one, save waiting for a while to bring it up, I think the things are not good, and the stiffness is up.

"Don't dislike it, the mountains are high and the road is far away, and it's good to have a stutter. ”

Lu Liangsheng guessed the meaning of the shopkeeper's words, and casually went to put a pair of chopsticks on the table: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm also very hungry and thirsty on the way, you bring it, don't dislike it, I'll put this big toad on the table and eat tea and cakes together." ”

"Childe likes, what can the old man say. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper took a look, and the toad that had been put on the table was bulging, walked to the earthen stove with a smile, took the teapot soaked in the basin, took a dustpan covered by a gauze tent, and counted a few cakes.

"Childe, you are alone with an old donkey, where are you going?"

Come over, he put the cake on the table and sat on the bench nearby: "Listen to the old man's advice, the northwest is desolate, the people are fierce, and there are many mountain bandits and road tyrants, you are alone, be careful." ”

Lu Liangsheng broke open a cake, put it in front of the toad Taoist, poured tea and put it away, and nodded with a smile when he heard the shopkeeper's advice.

"Thank you for the reminder, I know, but my husband is setting up a stall here alone, isn't he afraid of bad people?"

"Afraid?"

The shopkeeper touched his chin and white beard and laughed.

"The old man who is half buried in the soil, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal, just kick your feet, but the old man opens a tea shed here, and he can make a little money, and he can also provide a place for pedestrians to rest and quench their thirst, which can be regarded as a benefit. ”

Speaking of which, looking at the toad holding the bread and chewing on the corner of the table, the latter puffed out his eyes and glared at him as if he didn't like to be watched eating.

The old man didn't see the toad's eyes, so he took it as a big toad, and then sighed.

"The old decay is also this ability, big deals can not be done, it is certainly not good to take by force, as the so-called without virtue to take large profits, there will be a miracle; good intentions and good deeds and suffering, there will be blessings. Perhaps, old decay can still accumulate virtue for future generations, or in the next life. ”

On the opposite side, the scholar who was chewing the Hu cake in his mouth stopped moving, his eyes were condensed, outside the tea shed, the wind was getting louder, and on the bare old trees, birds spread their wings and flew away.

A gust of sand and dust blew across the old flags, Lu Liangsheng quietly looked at the old man opposite, and slowly put down the cake.

"Uncle, who did you listen to this?"
