Chapter 104: Curfew
The bull demon Dazhu showed a simple smile on his face, he didn't know how to read, he was very curious about what was written in the book, why many demon clans throughout the ages could respect books, why did the little demons of big families read books since childhood. And what exactly is described in the book that ordinary people don't know? The basis of all this is literacy. However, every day of firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the hard work of running for it also gave him no time to read. Of course, there was no one to teach him.
"You can't go back on what you said. The longing pillar in his heart asked again uncertainly.
Ye Xuan naturally nodded with a smile. And in this Yecheng, there is a bull demon like Da Zhuang who will take a lot of detours. It can be regarded as a response.
After Dazhu was confirmed, his expression was also a lot more cheerful. He said a lot. However, with the slowness of the queue and the careful inspection of the Yecheng defenders, the huge sun also fell down the mountain according to the law. Gradually the stars appeared in the sky, and the moon surged up the branches. There were still a few thick black clouds floating in the night sky.
And at this time, with a loud sound of the heavy iron gate being pushed, a torch was lit every meter on the top of the ten-zhang high city wall of Yecheng, of course, Ye Xuan stood under the city wall, although the fire emitted a faint light, but it was still impossible to see the scenery above the city tower, and could only see the vague silhouette of the black-armored guard.
"It's time to close the city. A team of more than a dozen sergeants riding red unicorns and wearing black armor rushed out of Yecheng, and a team of cavalry rolled up the wind and dust, with new and shiny armor on their bodies, and the mighty appearance of the unicorn under the seat, which also showed their extraordinary combat effectiveness, and the cavalry shouted all the way along the avenue outside the city. The five-word voice was sonorous and loud, and the demons along the way did not make noise because they couldn't enter the city, and many people carried tents with them. Except for a few demons who were still lingering on the road, most of the demons spontaneously walked down the sides of the road and then camped to rest.
"I'm late today, so I'll have to wait until early tomorrow morning to enter the city. The bull demon pillar said helplessly. "This Yecheng access control is also the only one in this surrounding city, other cities have guards on duty at night, only this, the guards are like uncles, sleep on time at night, and work during the day is also to show off their might. However, although all the demons have complaints, but this Yecheng is the largest city in our great northwest, and it can also be regarded as a face-saving city in our great northwest, so I can only dare to be angry and dare not speak. However, this also has an advantage, that is, the security in Yecheng is not bad, although it cannot be said that it is not closed at night, but at least it is not afraid of being robbed when you go out at night. Especially those scantily clad banshees, who are not afraid of being robbed when they come out at night. When I have money in the future, I must also settle down in Yecheng, the tribe and the city are really one heaven and one underground, and there is no comparison at all. ”
After speaking, Dazhu also took off the backpack behind him and chose a spacious place on both sides of the spacious official road. Set up camp. As for Ye Xuan, he was naturally empty-handed, and followed Dazhu's side cheekily, wanting to rub a place to live in peace and sleep peacefully. However, Dazhu is because of his simplicity in heart, and when he goes out, he also has the mentality of helping when he sees his fellow clan, and he does not reject Ye Xuan.
As for Ye Xuan, he is also diligent. Busy with the following, the two of them worked together to set up a spacious, patched, dilapidated tent. Tribal demon clan, life is very difficult, although this tent looks shabby, with several patches, but compared to other tents with exposed wind, it is already much better. After the tent was set up, Ye Xuanfang said with a bit of restraint: "Brother Dazhu." Tonight, can I sleep in your tent first? I'm really sorry, I don't know, I can catch the night curfew in Yecheng. ”
When the bull demon pillar heard this, he was also heroic. "It's okay, you can stay, as long as you don't dislike my big pillar's tent is dirty. After speaking, Dazhu also had a sincere smile on his face, and he could vaguely see a little embarrassment on his face. After all, as a rough man, he can naturally be simple when he goes out, and although he lives in this tent permanently, he has not cleaned it up a few times, so it is naturally a little dirty. It smells of sweat. Usually he lives alone and doesn't pay attention to it, but now that Ye Xuan came rashly, this upright man was also a little embarrassed in his heart.
Ye Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Dazhu, don't worry, I, Ye Xuan, am not such a hypocritical person, it is not easy to be alone outside, I am grateful if you can take me in tonight, how can I dislike you." He is also a more casual person in life, when he eats and drinks without worry, he doesn't mind brocade clothes and food, but when life is difficult, he can also endure hardship, otherwise he will not be in the mountains and streams for several years, just sleeping on the jade bed without any modification. Of course, this has nothing to do with Ye Xuan's lazy temperament, after all, Ye Xuan doesn't have the leisure time to take care of it after practicing, but when fishing every day, he will also jump into the deep pool to take a bath, of course, the water in the deep pool is flowing, he once dived into the bottom of the deep pool, but also found a lot of gaps connected with the groundwater. It seems to be a water circulation system of its own. But after seeing this, Ye Xuan didn't delve into it. However, this also made him feel at ease and bold when he took a bath, and the idea that he was worried that the water in the pool would become turbid would become long after the bath was long also dissipated. Of course, he did not drink water from the deep pool at that time, but found a mountain spring at the foot of a mountain stream again. When he drank the mountain spring, he felt the sweetness and coolness of the mountain spring when he lived in the mountains in his previous life, and the mountain spring water was different from the tap water in the city and the well water, and the most beautiful and sweet water in the world in his heart was this mountain spring water. Of course, this association is also a bit far,
Dazhu looked at Ye Xuan and said sincerely, only then did he hold a somewhat shy look, lit a fire fold outside, and took Ye Xuan into the tent together, after entering the tent, Ye Xuan took advantage of the faint firelight, his eyes swept for a week, and there was not much in the tent, only a thin cushion, and nothing else, this is also the old cow because he was out of the house, everything was simple, after all, it was heavy and heavy, and it was troublesome, after all, it was not much to use. As for the mess, it is not too dirty, but some of the residues of flatbread fall in the tent, and the figure of miscellaneous grains can be seen. But it's all in the corners of the mat. It's not much, and this foreshadowing looks dry. It seems to be because it is often dried. The space in the tent is not small, Ye Xuan visually measured that it was more than enough to sleep with him.
After entering the tent, Dazhu walked straight into the innermost part, found a place to sit down, and left a large clean place for Ye Xuan. Fang Cai smiled honestly: "Sit down." It is convenient to leave a place for you to watch the stars, don't expect to fall asleep when you go out, after all, outside the city, although there are Yecheng guards patrolling from time to time, but after all, they don't look good at themselves. Of course, if you are sleepy and can't stay up, you can sleep first, and I can just watch it. ”
