Volume 1 A Young Man Has a Dream Chapter 65 The Storm Rises Again, and the Desert Tracks (5)
Fengsha Town is a very small village in the desert, with only about 50 households, but there are many business travelers who pass through all the year round, and many wealthy merchants and heroes who spend a lot of money take the lead in donating money, so as to build a stone fortress to provide a place for the merchants and rangers to rest.
This place belongs to Lanzhou, under the rule of the Xue family, but it is separated between the Xue family and the grassland tribes, which is a buffer zone, where there is neither the cavalry of the grassland tribes, nor the northwest army of the Xue family.
Fengsha Town is in such a position, so there is very little turmoil, even the past merchant rangers rarely make trouble, usually a peaceful and calm, calm Fengsha Town will also celebrate the New Year and worship the gods of heaven This major festival can gather dozens of families and all past merchants to gather in Fengsha Town Square.
There are six statues in the form of six-pointed stars in the square, each of which has a different shape and is made of different materials, and the square is in a wide area between the six-pointed star statues.
Xue Yihan and Lu Fei looked at it while walking, and they were amazed.
Bai Yu's face was also a little happy, after all, where he grew up, it was a great thing to be recognized by his friends, he saw that the two of them were quite interested in the statue, so he made a tour guide to explain.
"We all call him the Lightbringer in this half-reclining position, why is it called the Lightbringer, it's because he brought the light of the town, and his appearance completely made the town stand on its feet. โ
"This statue stands upright, with a spear in his hand, we call him the Messenger of the Earth, and legend has it that he used his spear to stop the risk of storms hitting the town, and changed the direction of the wind and sand with great force, so that the water source lake appeared. โ
"The one who bowed his head slightly and looked at the baby in his arms was the messenger of life, who brought life to the town and brought the vitality of the town. โ

Hundreds of years of oral allusions and legends, in Bai Yu Yizun explained, Xue Yihan also has a comprehensive understanding of Fengsha Town, looking at Bai Yu who was happy to introduce the changes in the town's climate, Xue Yihan also showed a sincere smile, it seems that Bai Yu still has a lot of feelings for this place, otherwise how can it be said that the town is so headed.
Xue Yihan observed one by one, and there were many small town residents and outsiders walking by one after another, smiling and laughing towards the altar in the middle of the square.
At this time, the elder Aliman, who had gone to call a few people, was already standing on the altar, standing with a staff in his hand, looking at the crowd coming one after another, with a soft face.
A cup of tea, hundreds of people stood densely on the square, and more than a dozen people stood under the stage carrying cattle and sheep, and some girls were wearing light veils and carrying small bamboo baskets in their hands, with light green grass and colorful flowers in the baskets.
Bai Yu explained them one by one, and he was particularly energetic about the things that Xue Yihan and Lu Fei were curious about, and said hello to the people he knew.
Xue Yihan listened carefully, and watched very seriously, for the sake of insurance, he also asked Bai Yu about the recent business trips, according to Bai Yu, in addition to the two of them, they have also seen ghosts in the recent period, and even a family of businessmen will live in the town.
Xue Yihan frowned slightly when he heard this, didn't those pursuers know the location of Fengsha Town, or did they have a tacit understanding and didn't have suspicions here?
In this way, the sacrificial celebration has begun.
First, Aliman, the most prestigious elder in Fengsha Town, bowed to the six statues with incense, and then carried the cattle and sheep to the altar and placed them in six directions, and the women holding the flower baskets placed the delicate flower baskets under the six statues, and then danced.
After a dance, everyone knelt down to the six statues, commonly known as the statues of the six gods, under the leadership of the elder Aliman.
Aliman knelt on the altar with words in his mouth, while many of the aborigines in the audience put their hands on their chests and prayed reverently.
The whole process lasted for a little half a day before it was over, but the residents of the town did not have any complaints and fatigue, but they were all in good spirits, according to Bai Yu, after the sacrifice of the gods, there will be a bonfire party in the evening, this night is the most favorite and most anticipated by teenagers and girls.
Bai Yu said about the bonfire party, and there was a little shy smile on his face.
It's just that before everyone has dispersed and left the square, suddenly a bell rings on a stone platform on the outskirts of the town.
Ali Man's face showed a little shock, and he hurriedly stepped down from the high platform, and walked towards the outside of the town with the support of two young people.
Xue Yihan saw the change in everyone's faces, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, what kind of bell is this, why is it that everyone who was still full of smiles just now showed a little fear and worry at this time?
Xue Yihan looked at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu looked at Aliman, who was in a hurry out.
Lu Fei bumped into Bai Yu angrily, and Bai Yu came back to his senses, and said in disbelief: "The town hasn't sounded the alarm bell for more than ten years, and the alarm bell suddenly sounded today, I don't know what happened?"
Xue Yihan looked at Bai Yu, who was a little distraught, and quietly pulled Lu Fei, and then the two of them hugged Bai Yu's arm and said seriously: "Let's go, let's go and see what happened, if you can help, you will definitely help." โ
Bai Yu let out a long sigh of relief, mumbled and followed the flow of people out of the town.
The gate of the town was closed, and there were already more than 100 people standing in the fortress-like town, all of whom looked out of the gate with hatred.
Outside the door is a team of nearly 100 people, each riding a tall horse, the leader is a middle-aged man with a beard, he is holding a freshly roasted leg of lamb in his hand, is eating with relish, next to two barbecue grills, is roasting the fat sheep that is slaughtered.
Aliman's face turned pale, and he pointed at the man and said angrily: "Four masters, what do you mean by this, why did you come to Fengsha Town to kill our sheep?"
Bai Yu whispered in Xue Yihan and Lu Fei's ears: "He is the bandit closest to Fengsha Town, the big boss of Heifeng Village, the fourth in Jiuzhai in the northwest, also known as the four masters, called Torrent, but for so many years, the lords of the Nine Great Villages have all sworn a bloody oath, and no one can embarrass Fengsha Town, I don't know why he came here?"
I only heard that the fourth master called Torrent said indifferently: "Fengsha Town is kind to the second and third children, and I don't want to embarrass you, but I have a crush on your daughter of Elder Aliman, but you just don't agree, what can I do?"
"Fart. Aliman slammed his cane on the ground, coughing as he knocked back.
Beside him, a woman wearing a light veil walked out, stroked Aliman's back, and said angrily: "Torrent, I won't marry you to be a little wife if I die, so you will die of this heart." โ
"Yes, dead this heart, dead this heart. The crowd shouted.
The torrent turned a deaf ear to this, and still gnawed on the meat and bones in his own way, and when he was almost finished, he threw down the bones in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm sincere, how can you hurt my heart so much, Guli." โ
He beat his chest as he spoke, as if he would be worse off than dead without the consent of his name Guli.
Aliman and Gu Li were still sighing, and then they heard the torrent that suddenly changed their faces and said: "Since Fengsha Town refuses to let Gu Li marry me, then I have to fence this place, I won't give the second and third children a handle to grab the handle, and they won't enter Fengsha Town, after all, there are so many fat sheep and fast horses here, and it's enough for our brothers to eat for a few months, but how to survive in Fengsha Town, I'm very worried." โ
Looking at the torrent that surrounded the town and slaughtered the cattle and sheep in the town, everyone showed a little resentment in their eyes, but no one dared to go out to provoke him, so they all stared at Aliman with burning eyes.
Aliman was also very annoyed, but he refused the proposal of the torrent, who would have thought that he would dare to lead people to besiege Fengsha Town, this is not something that he, an old man who has never been in turmoil, can deal with it, looking at the inquiring eyes of the townspeople and the businessmen and rangers trapped in the town, Aliman only felt like a numb heart.
Aliman and Gu Li had no idea, and even the people in the town were a little shaken and hesitant, looking at Gu Li's eyes full of pity and guilt.
Xue Yihan noticed that someone walked up to Torrent and whispered in his ear.
When Torrent heard the man's words, he burst out laughing, and while laughing, he told the man to do something.
Looking at the people in the town who still had no opinions, Torrent smiled even more happily, and said with interest: "Guli little beauty, my subordinates have caught two more Central Plains women for me, if you postpone it again, it will be too late to agree, but it will not be three rooms, but five rooms and six rooms, and even nine rooms and ten rooms." โ
Gu Liqiao's face turned gloomy, and her hand trembled as she pointed at the torrent, and at this time, the man who left had already pressed two people in men's clothes to come to him.
The torrent seat bandits have dealt with many people of all kinds, and naturally they can see at a glance that both of them are women dressed as men, and the men's clothes are already so handsome, if they are women's clothes, wouldn't they be beautiful?
His heart blossomed, a Guli was enough for him to dream, there were two stunning beauties, he only felt that God really favored him too much, and wiped a handful on the faces of the two while rubbing his hands, only to hear the woman snort, and turned her head away in shame.
"It's exciting, it's really exciting, Lao Tzu likes to be hot. The smile on Torrent's face was even stronger, and he ripped off the hairpin on the heads of the two, revealing the makeup of the two daughters.
"Tut-tut, it's so beautiful, I feel sorry for it. โ
Torrent twisted the faces of the two of them as he spoke, and said to the small town Guli: "Look, see if they are no worse than you, hurry up and make a decision, Lao Tzu can't wait." โ
Gu Li glanced at the two of them, but they were natural stunners, handsome and extraordinary, but how could she always let the torrent take advantage of her words, and snorted: "You are shameless, robbing women of good families in broad daylight." โ
At this time, Xue Yihan and Bai Yu and Lu Fei were already speechless in shock, and when they saw the two women who were forcibly twisted their faces, they recognized the two.
Yan Le and Zeng Qian.
A proposal, a reconsideration, the two quietly left Suzhou the next day and chased in the direction of Xue Yihan.
"How did they come here? Why were they arrested?"
Bai Yu saw that Zeng Qian had been wronged, especially when she was forcibly turned her face by the torrent, and she was already extremely angry in her heart, but she still restrained herself a little, and said to herself hatefully.
Xue Yihan looked at Lu Fei, then at Bai Yu, and said in confusion: "I don't know, they are very likely to follow us, but why didn't I hear my eldest brother mention this?"
"No matter how much, I'm going to rescue them immediately, the torrent is a color embryo, but I can do anything. Bai Yu said and walked forward.
After walking in front of Aliman's eyes, after a few words with Aliman in the language of the Western Regions, he walked towards the outside of the town, followed by Xue Yihan and Lu Fei, who also walked out.
"Brother Snow. โ
"Bai Yu, you bastard, come and save me. โ
"Woooooooo โ
Zeng Qian and Yan Le were overjoyed when they saw the three people walking out, and they were busy struggling and shouting.
