Chapter 100: Camel Bells
"Silent two lines of tears, camel bells ringing in his ears" Lin Yu couldn't help but think of this lyric, but at this moment Lin Yu didn't have any parting sorrows, he wanted to shed tears, but he was very happy, the weather in the desert changed a lot, although Lin Yu had never been to a desert area, he had also heard of natural disasters such as sandstorms, and the power of nature such as tornadoes.

Of course, it is good to be able to go with the caravan, after all, the caravan that goes to the Western Regions is still relatively experienced, and they still have some unique insights into dealing with this kind of natural rage.
The two of them stood there waiting for the caravan to arrive, the camel bell kept ringing, the sound was getting closer and closer, and the caravan of the brigade appeared in the eyes of Lin Yu and Nanmen Zishan.
Lin Yu rode a camel and hugged his fist towards the leader of the guards in front of the caravan and said, "Junior brother is going to the Western Regions, can you let the two of us go with the caravan."
After all, this place is not far from Jiayu Pass, and the caravan is also used to such knights who have to walk together, and if they encounter horse bandits in the desert, these people can also help deal with them.
So the leader of the big man also saluted: "Meeting is fate, and the young man is good with us."
Nanmen Ziyi couldn't help but say: "Thank you, bearded."
The bearded man was surprised, "Does the girl know me?"
Nanmen Zishan shook his head, and then the bearded man said, "How does that girl know that my nickname is Big Beard."
The purple shirt of the South Gate smiled forward and backward, and even Lin Yu couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Although he walked with the caravan, he had to walk behind the caravan, and when he went to the end of the line, he was still teasing the beard, "Bearded, tell you that this girl can pinch and count, and you can see at a glance that your name is bearded."
Where to leave the beard to meditate, I can't figure it out.
Lin Yu said: "A guy with a tendon like a beard doesn't know how to be a team leader."
Before Nanmen Zishan could speak, he heard someone next to him say: "This brother doesn't know anything, this bearded man is a master of the Western Regions, and there is nothing he is not familiar with in the Western Regions, and ordinary caravans really can't afford to invite him."
The one who spoke was dressed as a rich man, short in stature, and his face was very energetic.
Lin Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard these words, he didn't know much about the martial arts of the Western Regions, and when he heard that there was such a person, Lin Yu had already thought of digging up the beard.
It turned out that there were many people in this caravan who followed them to the Western Regions, and this was indeed a large caravan, the team stretched endlessly, and there were camels and horses I don't know how many, and all kinds of goods were hung on it.
Lin Yu knew that this person who spoke out was obviously not the first time he had walked in the Western Regions, so he couldn't help but salute: "In Xia Lin Yu, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"
The man waved his hand and said, "Brother Tai doesn't need to be polite, just call me Hu Dahai."
Lin Yu said: "Brother Hu seems to often walk in the Western Regions, I don't know what kind of scene this Western Regions martial arts is."
Hu Dahai said with a smile: "I know that Brother Lin is a person in the rivers and lakes, this Western Regions rivers and lakes, I happen to know something, the Western Regions martial arts are not as calm as the Central Plains martial arts, there are four major sects to maintain justice, and there are endless battles between the various sects and factions in the Western Regions, and each sect is piled up with white bones."
Lin Yu had also heard of the chaos in the Western Regions martial arts before he came, and when he heard it, he was convinced that the Western Regions were indeed chaotic enough, and it was not easy for the Akiyama family to be able to guard it for so many years.
The caravan had been walking, but it stopped at this time, because there was an old man in front of the caravan, the old man had white hair, and he walked very slowly, as if he was going to fall down at any time, but he just didn't fall, which made people look extremely worried.
The old man was on crutches in his hand, and the bearded man couldn't help asking, "Where is this going, old man?"
The old man said: "The old man is from the Western Regions, and he is about to die, I don't know if I can take the old guy for a ride."
It is normal for a caravan to bring some people to walk together, either to pay a fee for the caravan, or to protect the safety of the caravan, or to do some chores, and the merchant will naturally not bring people for no reason.
can lead people across the desert, no matter how strong they are, but this old man can't wait for a gust of wind to blow down, and if he falls, he doesn't know if he can stand up, and no one wants to take him.
But the old man in front of him took out a bag of broken silver, handed it to the caravan, and said, "This is the cost of old decay, just bring old decay."
No one will give silver and can't get by, there is no place in the desert where there is no royal law, even if the old man dies, there is nothing to throw into the desert on the spot.
But the caravan was considerate, and even freed up a camel for the old man to sit on the back of the camel, so that he could save some physical strength.
The old man appeared in the caravan, but Lin Yu felt a little strange, although the old man looked harmless to humans and animals, but Lin Yu always felt that he was very dangerous.
The old man also specially greeted everyone, and there was a kind smile on his face, and no one knew what was hidden under this smile.
Although the caravan has been advancing, the night has quietly fallen, the caravan has also stopped, found a shelter from the wind, and began to set up a camp, after all, the technology of this time and space is not very developed, and at night it is generally impossible to reach out and lose sight of the five fingers, so naturally there is no way to hurry.
Everything in the caravan was proceeding in an orderly manner, some people unloaded the goods on the camels and horses and let them rest, some people were living and cooking, and some people were setting up tents, which was very orderly.
It was only a matter of moments, and the tent had been set up, and the smell of porridge came from the place where the fire was lit.
Although Lin Yu and Nanmen Ziyi were also in the caravan, they would not eat with the caravan, after all, the caravan would not bring much food, and most of the camels were loaded with silk and porcelain.
Lin Yu and Nanmen Zishan took out a box of canned food from their package, which turned out to be beef, yes, this is really the canned beef developed by Lin Yu in order to cope with walking in the desert.
However, due to the limited level of technology in this era, this beef can only be stored for a week or two, but it is still fragrant at this time.
The aroma of meat and porridge is naturally more attractive, and the old man came to Lin Yu when he smelled it and said, "Young man, can you sell me some of this thing."
Lin Yu said: "If my husband likes it, the boy will give my husband a can, and don't mention the sale."
The old man said: "Okay, it's really a young hero."
The night was uneventful, and in the early morning, the caravan sounded the sound of horses' hooves in all directions, and the caravan resounded one after another shouting, "Get up, protect the goods, there are horse bandits."
