Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ancient City of the Western Regions Unexpected Encounter
Feng Chen rubbed his eyes and looked at the peerless girl lying on his chest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info propped his hands on the ground and prepared to get up, only to find himself in the grassland. The vast expanse of green meadows leads to the horizon, and there is a lake not far away. There were many young men and women dressed in Western costumes playing in the water, and he tried to sit up, but he was dizzy.
"Dust boy, wake up!" the peerless girl called out to him, Feng Chen tried to open his eyes, and the sun above his head and the yellow sand in the sky blew on his face. He held the ground with both hands, only to find that there was yellow sand under him, and the soft yellow sand seemed to be ready to move at any time. He felt his mouth dry and reached out to wipe his face, only to realize that his lips had peeled with thirst. The Wushuang girl squatted on the ground, staring at him with big eyes, Feng Chen's face was burned, and asked Wushuang in a low voice: "Why are we here, I seemed to see an oasis just now!"
"Just now we were obviously in the Qian Wanguan antique store in Shadowless Town. Wushuang tried hard to remember, but he could only remember so much.
"Who are you!Why did you trespass on my Loulan forbidden land!" A man not far away shouted at the two of them on a tall horse.
The peerless girl walked towards the man tremblingly with Feng Chen, and said, "This big brother, the two of us are lost in this desert, I don't know where this is, don't be surprised." ā
I saw the man take off his helmet, and his short and golden hair was flicked in the harsh sunlight. He placed his right hand on his chest and greeted respectfully: "It turned out to be a guest from afar, then please come with me." Feng Chen and Wushuang followed this man into the ancient city of Loulan.
In the ancient city, there is no yellow sand and no sense of direction like outside, there will be no strong wind that will sweep in at any time, and there will be no flying sand and gravel that hurts people's faces. The sun in the ancient city is warm and leisurely, and it can sweep away the tiredness of the people when it shines on the body. Feng Chen held the white flame horse and asked the eldest brother in armor: "In Xia Feng Chen, I don't know what to call Brother Tai?" The knightly man in armor responded with a stroke of Feng Chen's saluting: "My name is Nanmu Gu Yu, and everyone in the village calls me Gu Yu, you can call me whatever you want!" Feng Chen smiled politely and said, "Okay! Brother Gu Yu!" Unconsciously, the three of them walked to a very high earthen house, the roof of which was different from the others in that this earthen house had a high spire, although it was also made of earth and stone, but just by looking at the carving and painting of the wooden door, the owner of the house was very wealthy.
"Please wait for me, I'll come in a moment. Saying that, Brother Gu Yu took off the bag on the flame horse, took it and walked towards the house.
Feng Chen asked Wushuang: "This ancient city is quite strange, let's be careful." Let's study how to go back!"
Wushuang Chong Fengchen made a look, only to see Brother Gu Yu walking out of the house, followed by a girl with high hair in a high bun and a purple gauze skirt, wearing a pink sand towel to cover her face. Although the two of them couldn't see the girl's facial features completely, they could judge from her delicate eyebrows and light and graceful steps that this girl must be knowledgeable and beautiful. Brother Gu Yu's hand waved in front of Feng Chen's eyes, and he came to his senses. However, the feet of the peerless girl seemed to be imprisoned there by a thousand pounds of iron shackles, and her eyes were full of tears. Feng Chen pulled Wushuang's arm: "Let's go!"
The three of them continued to walk in the small town, and the residents of the earthen city on the side of the road saw the people from outside the village coming, and they all went home and closed the door. There are children playing on the side of the road, all of them are picked up by adults and run home, and I don't know why the city is so afraid of him and Wushuang. This is Brother Gu Yu's face also showed an embarrassed look: "Don't be surprised, brother, the people of Loulan have been in the city all their lives." I rarely have contact with outsiders, and I am directly responsible for introducing the business travelers to the city lord. The high priest controlled the supplies that needed to be exchanged or supplied, so the people avoided unfamiliar faces when they saw them. Feng Chen nodded as if he didn't understand the customs here.
After coming out of the girl just now, he turned two alleys to the west, and came to a dilapidated earthen house on the edge of the city, and Brother Gu Yu led the flaming horse into the stable. Then he said to Feng Chen and Wushuang: "Please come in, if you don't dislike the simplicity of your home." Take a break from me tonight. ā
When I entered the house, I found that the room was extremely simple, with only a wooden bed large enough for two people. There was only one quilt, still a black linen quilt. Looking around again, there is a large chaise longue in one corner of the room, made by hand from rough wood. Brother Gu Yu seemed to be accustomed to the furnishings here, took out a pot of flatbread from the kitchen, and removed the wine bag from his waist. handed it to Feng Chen: "You are also hungry, the small city is not as rich as other neighboring countries in the Western Regions." These are the only treats available to guests. Feng Chen took the wine bag in Brother Gu Yu's hand, pulled out the cork, looked up and drank, Brother Gu Yu laughed and said, "What a good brother!"
Only the Wushuang girl has been standing aside, looking at the two big men in the room with some embarrassment, but she doesn't know where to talk about the unhappiness in her heart, she has been treated by a young lady since she was a child, but now she is the same as a rough man. Covered in sand, I don't know where to sleep tonight. Feng Chen seemed to know what was going on with Miss Wushuang, turned his head and said to Brother Gu Yu: "Brother Gu Yu, Miss Wushuang and I are not what you think...... Tonight, may you allow me to make a bunk? Brother Gu Yu was not restrained when he heard this, but was even more happy, and said with a smile: "It's okay! You two childhood sweethearts, I know it at a glance, but you think it's a little wrong not to get married." In our Loulan, as long as a man has a heart for a certain girl, he can go to the high priest to pray for a rune, and then go out of Loulan to other countries to obtain the enemy's arrow feathers and send them back to the high priest, even if the marriage is successful. Feng Chen listened to Gu Yu talk about their customs here, and raised his head to drink until his face was slightly red.
"Dust boy, you drink less. Wushuang watched the two of them drink so much that they forgot that the oil lamps in the candlesticks were about to burn out.
