Chapter 17, The Love of Clothing

After walking through the downtown area, I soon came to Leah's house. The two were received by Liya's father, who was not frightened by the blood stains on the two of them, but did not care, as if he had become accustomed to it. On the Silk Road, it was not uncommon for merchants to encounter wolves or robbers. Liya's family welcomed the two very warmly, Liya's mother was a Uighur, with thick eyebrows and thick lips, a smile on her face, and a different appearance from everyone else, there was a younger brother in her teenage years, and an elderly man who was old. He is about 80 years old. With the exception of Leah and her mother, everyone else wore locally woven clothing, which looked very rugged.

Leah tells her family what happened to them. Liya's family felt sorry for the two, and the old lady pulled Ran Tianluo to her side, held Ran Tianluo with a pair of thin hands, and muttered a bunch of words that Ran Tianluo didn't understand. Then he fell to his knees and bowed a few times towards the door. Ran Qianluo looked at Liya inexplicably, and Liya explained that it was the old man who was comforting her and praying to the Buddha for the two of them. Ran Tianluo was very moved. Respectfully saluted the old man.

After dinner, the two finally had a full meal and stayed at Lia's house that night. Both of them were very tired, and it was rare to be so idle, so they fell asleep. Nothing happened that night.

Before I knew it, the day passed, and the next morning, Ran Tianluo woke up early. Except for the old man, who was still asleep, everyone else was already busy. Leah served a bowl of goat's milk and a few large pieces of oil cakes. brought it to Ran Qianluo. Ran Qianluo was hungry all night, and he also ate a lot of this sheep cream cake. But now when I smell it, I suddenly feel that there is a big fishy smell coming to my face. It's a little hard to swallow. The girl didn't eat and waited at the table.

After waiting for a long time, Shi Yunyang didn't come out, so Ran Tianluo asked Liya, "Miss Liya, why don't you see Shi Gongzi come out?"

"Oh, the guest went out early, and I met him when I went out to get water. He said that he had something to do and would come back later, so that we didn't have to wait for him to eat. Leah said, turning and serving another plate of lamb. The people of Khotanese believe in Buddhism, but most of them are Hinayana Buddhism, so they eat the three pure meats. The so-called three pure flesh is to have three conditions, first, not to kill out of sight, second, to kill without hearing, and third, not to be killed by oneself. This kind of meat is acceptable to Theravada Buddhists.

Ran Tianluo is strange, both of them are here for the first time, they are not familiar with the place, what can happen when the teenager goes out. There must be some old friends, but the young man has no memories of the past, even if there is really an old man here, how can he remember. Ran Tianluo felt very strange, so she freshened up and changed into the clothes that Liya found for her. I finished breakfast inexplicably.

Liya's clothes are all Hu clothes, which obviously have the style of the Western Regions, and Ran Tianluo is not very comfortable for a while, and it is very difficult to even walk. I didn't want to go anywhere, I just wanted to stay in the house. But Liya had to take the girl to the market to hang out, but the girl had no choice, and the guests were as they pleased, so she had to follow Liya out of the door.

After a short time, the two girls came to the center of the market. Yesterday, I just passed by the city and took a cursory look. At this time, Ran Tianluo realized that this place was really lively. There was a clamor of selling around, and the merchants here were mostly nomadic merchants, mostly spread on the ground with a straw mat or a few wide cloths. Put the goods on it and start selling. Ran Tianluo turned his head and looked around, there were those who sold mare's milk wine, some sold straw baskets, and some other Western Regions commodities. Following one of the voices, I saw a merchant from the Western Regions selling a powdered substance, and I smelled a fragrance from afar, which was the world-famous Malay spice.

Ran Tianluo saw a Central Plains caravan not far away, surrounded by a large group of people. The two girls also rushed over curiously. I saw the merchant showing the people the silk garments. Phoenixfish pattern, silk inlaid jade, each piece is the best of the best. At present, this shop has become the busiest place in the market. Among the clothes, a gorgeous white dress with blue silk trim and wide sleeves was noticed by most people. Silk products are a sought-after thing in the Western Regions, and the price of an ordinary silk product in the Western Regions is very expensive, dozens of times more expensive than in the Central Plains. The locals take pride in wearing silk clothes. And at the moment, this long dress is made of clouds fluttering on light clouds, dreamy tulle, delicate trim, and the end is extremely exquisite. It is estimated that no matter which woman is on it, whether she is beautiful or not, she will instantly have an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy.

The two girls sighed with everyone for a while, and Ran Tianluo loved the dress very much. But I have nothing to grow, so I can only feast my eyes.

In the crowd of onlookers, some people are ready to move from time to time, but unfortunately the price is too expensive, and it is really difficult for ordinary civilians to accept. But soon after, there were still people who couldn't resist the temptation, and the man with a beard was the first to pay for it, probably wanting to buy it home and give it to his wife. But when the bill was paid, the boss refused to sell it, and said to the bearded man.

"Brother, I'm sorry, this dress has already been ordered, and the other clothes here are also very beautiful, buy it back and give it to Mrs. Zun, I must like it, come on, come on, look at this," said the merchant, pointing to the other dresses. The man was a little disappointed, so he chose one of the other dresses, paid the money, and turned away happily.

After watching for a while, the two women left, and then went to the market a few more times. Leah is very enthusiastic and lively, the two gradually get acquainted, and after a few more circles in the market, they still can't get enough of turning back.

After dinner that night, and Shi Yunyang didn't come back, Ran Tianluo couldn't help but be a little worried. The boy didn't know where he had gone that day, and he didn't see anyone all day. When Ran Tianluo was wandering around the market, he once carefully looked for Shi Yunyang's figure, but in the end he found nothing. At the moment, I was bored, and I saw that the moon outside the door was like a wash, very clear. Then I had the urge to go outside. He was about to open the low door when he raised his feet to go out, but suddenly heard a knock on the door.

On such a big night, Liya's family had already fallen asleep, and it was only Shi Yunyang who knocked on the door. I was very happy, and trotted to the door in three steps and two steps. When I opened the door, I saw Shi Yunyang standing at the door, his clothes were already very tattered, but now they were even more ragged. Revealing every inch of skin on his body, without exception, as long as there is skin and flesh exposed, there are large and small cuts. The boy had a huge cut in the corner of his eye, but it had already formed a bloody scab. It looks like it's ten times more than the wolf bèi when I arrived here yesterday.

When Ran Tianluo saw it, he hurriedly helped him in the door and sat down. The boy sat down on the stone stairs with relief. I feel very tired.

"Shi Gongzi, where did this **** go, how did you get so wolf?" asked Ran Tianluo puzzled.

Shi Yunyang didn't say much, reached out and took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Ran Tianluo.

"This one is for you. Shi Yunyang smiled.

"Send me?" Ran Tingluo felt more and more strange, why did he want to send something to himself for no reason. The cloth bag was very light in his hand, but he didn't know what it was, so Ran Tianluo opened it curiously.

When she opened it, Ran Tianluo was really taken aback.

"Shi Gongzi, where did you get the money for such a valuable thing?" Ran Tianluo couldn't help but ask in amazement. The thing in the cloth bag was nothing else, it was the white blue-rimmed dress that Ran Qianluo had seen during the day. At that time, the boss said that he had been booked, but he didn't expect that person to be Shi Yunyang!

"I asked Liya's father last night about the jade produced here, but the mining and transportation of jade is very troublesome, but it is also the highest pay, so I went to the jade field this morning to make some money to buy some clothes for the two of us. When I was passing by the market, I saw this skirt and thought that you would like it, so I asked the owner to leave it for me. Stop standing, go change it and try it. The young man had a happy expression on his face, as if he liked Ran Qianluo very much, and he was very happy.

It turned out that Shi Yunyang went to the jade collection field early in the morning, and the pay was really high, because it was very hard work everywhere. Workers in the jade collection yard have to carry hundreds of catties of stones down from the jade mountain, and then smash the surface stone shell with a hammer, and then carry the jade to the material truck. It's hard to describe the hard work here. The boy spent the whole day here, and he didn't know how much bitterness he received, hundreds of pounds of stones pressed on his back, and the uneven stone flute was like a sharp knife, piercing deep into the flesh of the young man. When he smashed the stone with a hammer, the stone rebounded back with a huge force, and the young man's tiger mouth was suddenly shocked with blood. These teenagers endured it one by one, and at the end of the day, they completed twice as much work as others. Naturally, he also got twice the reward.

Ran Tianluo held the open cloth bag with his fingers tightly, biting his lip, and suddenly his eyes were hot, and a line of tears slipped down. Whoever has been so kind to her since she was a child, who would fight for a day and get hurt all over her body, just to buy herself a dress. She couldn't tell whether she was grateful or moved, and a strange feeling arose in her heart, but she couldn't tell the truth. Ran Tianluo didn't know what to say for a while, so he saluted like Shi Yunyang, and then wiped away his tears and said to the young man.

"Thank you, Son" didn't say much, then turned around and went back to the house and changed into that beautiful white dress. After a while, Ran Qianluo came out of the house.

This girl's outfit really makes ** feel amazing. Wrapped in a white gorgeous dress, wearing a light cyan bandeau with a crisp chest half-covered, outlining a graceful curve. Draped in a white gauze dress, revealing her graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, which makes the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk is tied up with a hair band, very elegant, a wisp of green silk hangs on the chest, thin powder, only increase the color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow.

Shi Yunyang didn't feel stunned, he had never seen such a beautiful, otherworldly woman. As Cao Zhi Luo Shenfu said: It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is scorching like a hibiscus rising out of the waves. Shi Yunyang only felt that the woman in front of him seemed to be like that Luo Shen, and she was peerless. The young man looked at himself inadvertently, dressed in tattered clothes, giving people the feeling that he was a proud girl of the sky, like a beggar on the street, and he couldn't help but be ashamed of himself.

"Childe, is it good-looking?" Ran Tianluo turned around in front of the young man, and her dress fluttered slightly.

Shi Yunyang was stunned, and immediately reacted, calling it good-looking. Ran Tianluo covered her lips and chuckled, then walked over to the young man and sat down.

The stars are light, the cool breeze is blowing, and the night in the Western Regions is surprisingly quiet. A bright moon hung in the sky, Ran Tianluo looked at the moon, seemed to think of his hometown again, and secretly felt sad in his heart, and without waiting for the young man's reaction, he leaned on the young man's shoulder and sobbed in a low voice. Shi Yunyang knew that she missed her hometown and relatives. Then his right hand went around the girl's waist and took her in his arms. Ran Tianluo suddenly remembered what happened on the cliff that night, and then his face turned red. But at this time, she didn't want to break free, she felt that this was the feeling, that was what she had always wanted. This calm comes from such a bumpy place, anyone will not want to let go. In the arms of the young man, Ran Tianluo felt that that was a kind of security, that was a kind of joy and happiness.

The two hugged each other lightly under the starry sky, although they had no words, but they knew that a thousand words could not be exhausted, even if they hugged each other very lightly, but the fate between the two had long been deeply rooted in the wheel of fate and could not be changed
