At noon, the sun is shining. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info under the scorching sun that is so hot that it is dead, but a few camels are slowly coming. Even this camel, known as the "ship of the desert", is difficult to walk at noon, and the people on the camel are not new. I saw that these people's lips were cracked, their eyes were bloodshot, and the whole person seemed to be numb and ignorant. Suddenly, a wisp of cooking smoke rose in the distance, and the faces of these people immediately showed a look of ecstasy - where there is cooking smoke, will there be no water?"

But an old man suddenly shouted: "I can't go, I can't go to that place." His voice was hoarse and hissed, but there was still a convincing force, and everyone stopped, their faces full of longing. The old man's face was full of fear, and he exclaimed, "Do you know what kind of place it is?" Everyone shook their heads, and one said, "We don't know what kind of place it is, as long as there is water in that place...... When the word "water" was spoken, everyone immediately became excited again. The old man licked his lips with his tongue, but after licking for a long time, his lips were still dry and cracked, because his tongue was also dry and almost cracked. He sighed and said, "Water...... Alas, there was water in that place, but there was also a murderous steel sword, and we still had a chance to live, but when we got there, we had to die immediately. Everyone looked at each other and said, "For...... Why?" the old man said, "There is a desert inn in that place, which is a black shop opened by the desert thief 'Desert Silver Lone'. Speaking of the words "desert silver lonely", two people have fallen from camels, and after these two people fell off the camel's back, they couldn't even move. Suddenly, a man hissed and shouted, "I don't care, I'm still going, I'd rather be killed than suffer such a crime again." He rushed over like a camel frenzy, and everyone looked frightened, as if they knew that he was gone, and he would never return. At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the wind and sand, a thin man with a face carved out of stone, a man in black, holding a rope in his hand, and a person tied to the other end of the rope. The man in black looked arrogant and walked lightly, as if he regarded this great desert full of wind and sand as a flat and wide thoroughfare. The travelers, who were about to die of thirst, were stunned again when they saw this person, and they didn't know who suddenly exclaimed and hissed: "Desert Silver Lonely...... Desert Silver Lonely ......"

Who else was there in the desert who was not being dragged away by others, except for Desert Silver Gu and his subordinates? Everyone was so shocked that they fled in the blink of an eye. There were only six people left. Of course, it's Topaz and the others, but there is also a history that must be thirsty, and when he saw that someone didn't leave, he was also waiting here. Huang Yu said: "I can't imagine that these people are so afraid of the desert silver lonely, and would rather die of thirst than go there." "It turned out that Topaz had met a Sogdian caravan on their way. The Sogdians, who lived in Uzbekistan, were good at business, often traveling between Chang'an and the Western Regions, and were the main merchants on the Silk Road.

At this time, a few hundred meters in front of him, there is a sudden stone mountain towering in the sky, although the mountain is not high, but in this endless desert, it is particularly eye-catching. The strange rocks on the mountain are like dog's teeth intertwined, the mountain is full of grass, and it is also extremely precipitous, and the desert inn of the desert silver is built against the mountain. Although there is a stone mountain to block the wind and sand, this inn is still built solid and abnormal, all of them are made of big trees hugged by two people, driven deep into the ground, four or five zhang high wooden piles, exposed to the ground is only two zhang left, the gap is filled with lead juice, its solid copper wall is ironclad, if someone is locked in it, it is difficult to escape. There is no signboard, only a white plaque on the wall that reads: "Steamed bun with clear water, dry bed hot kang." In the eyes of travelers in the desert, these eight words are ten times more magical than "steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, roasted pig, roasted duck, sauced chicken, bacon, pine flower, small belly, sauced meat, sausage, assorted crisp plate, smoked chicken and white face". Lifting the curtain of the door and walking in, there were four or five wooden tables and a dozen or twenty benches in a small room. At this time, there were seven or eight big men around the table pushing Tianjiu, and in the counter on the left, there was a little old man with a triangular face and a goatee, who was dozing off, with a pipe of dry smoke in his mouth, the fire had already been extinguished, and the sound of snoring and drinking over there almost shook the roof, but he didn't seem to hear it at all. Suddenly, I heard the sound of hooves, and a person bumped into me headlessly, and hissed wildly: "Water...... "Shui ......" turned out to be a merchant who stayed with Topaz.
