Chapter 190, Loulan
At this time, Lin Chong made this kind of thing but it was a last resort, he hadn't eaten anything for two days and two nights, if the monster looked at Lin Chong's face, he would definitely notice that Lin Chong's face was extremely bad, and his body would shake from time to time when he stood at the end of the sword, but this is all for later, and now Lin Chong has walked to the edge of the city in the desert.
Getting closer, Lin Zhong saw the two big characters on the city wall, although they were twisted, but he could vaguely recognize the word "Loulan".
Loulan, the largest country in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, is said to have hundreds of thousands of people, east and west, gathered here, but also borrowed the infinite water source of Lop Nur, is the most brilliant pearl in the northwest desert, suddenly Lin Chong thought that the huge lake he saw before should be Lop Nur, although the rumors have already said that this Lop Nur is huge, when you see it with your own eyes, you will still be shocked by this wide water surface, of course, the wide area of Loulan country, Lin Chong also did not expect.
At a cursory glance at the end of the sword, Lin Zhong had to sigh, what was recorded in the book was really true, but he didn't know what the monsters in the lake were, and he didn't know if it had any impact on this Loulan.
Lin Zhong fell, and at this time he noticed that there was actually a bare desert around Loulan City, and in the distance, he saw that there were manpower transporting water, bucket by bucket, how much would it take to meet the needs of this huge Loulan?
There are more than a dozen guards at the gate of the city, which is considered to be a lot, their costumes Lin Chong has not seen before, I think it should be a unique costume in the Western Regions, it is still early in the morning, there are many people out of the city, but there are few people who enter the city like Lin Chong.
Lin Zhong walked over slowly, but was stopped by the guard, "Stop, you need to pay a fee to enter the city, and half a penny of silver per person." The voice sounded loud, with a bit of arrogance and arrogance.
Lin Zhong glanced at him, at this time, he didn't need to entangle with these mortals, and the silver on his body didn't know if this long journey was still there, although the clothes were tattered, touched it, it was still there, Lin Chong laughed, half a penny of silver was very little for him, but for these guards, he could detain a lot, there were ten people a day, and that was his monthly income. Seeing that Lin Chong paid the money so happily, the guards didn't embarrass him anymore, and directly let Lin Chong in.
After entering, Lin Chong knew the prosperity of this Loulan, entered the city gate, arrived in the city, under his feet was a completely different bluestone brick paved road with yellow sand outside, even more luxurious than those cities in the south of the Yangtze River, the streets were lined with all kinds of vendors, a rough look, selling everything, even Lin Chong's most disgusting human trafficking, those who were to be bought and sold were tied together like livestock, locked in cages, both men and women, naked, buyers and sellers bargained loudly there, or the sellers shouted there, and the others were far less enthusiastic than them。
Lin Zhong stopped and looked at it for a while, he found that this was simply a huge profit, most of these people who were bought and sold were poor people from other Western Regions countries, or they were abducted and trafficked here, listening to the words of an old man next to him, the price of human traffickers to collect them is calculated according to catties, children are the least valuable, and when they are sold, they are calculated according to individuals, and the stronger people who look, the less valuable they are, because it also means that it is easier to escape, so that is, women are the most valuable, especially the kind of girls who have a good face and maintain their virgin bodies。
When Lin Chong was in Jiangnan, he was particularly disgusted with this kind of business, especially when he saw that the trafficked people were not as good as animals, so in Jiangnan back then, he had done many things that were unreasonable in the eyes of others, but because of Lin Chong's identity, no one dared to say or object.
Lin Chong didn't expect that this distant Loulan would actually have this kind of thing, if it weren't for the fact that he was too weak now, he might have already done it.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Zhong sighed, found a roadside stall, ordered a bowl of tofu brain, and ate it in small bites.
Not to mention, in such a far place, it is really a pleasant thing to eat a bowl of salted tofu brain, Lin Chong estimated that he didn't expect it, he didn't feel like he had eaten much, so he ate a few big bowls, and even the proprietress was stunned, it seemed that Lin Chong was an ordinary, and there were some thin men, and his clothes were still a little unsatisfactory, how could this be so eaten, she almost suspected that Lin Chong would not give money after eating. But fortunately, when Lin Chong was full, he burped with satisfaction and called the proprietress to settle the bill.
"Hello, this son, a total of three taels of silver. ”
The proprietress voice was a little strange, although the price of Loulan was also expensive, this bowl of tofu brain was a penny of silver, but Lin Chong actually ate a full thirty bowls of this person, almost top her sales for half a day, this tone is a little strange but it is reasonable.
Lin Chong was stunned, he didn't have a big concept of money, the cultivation world has never used these, but he still knew the conversion between walking out, Lin Chong naturally paid the bill, looked at the strange eyes of the proprietress, he didn't know why, anyway, it was rare to eat the food of the Central Plains, and it was not strange to eat more.
Lin Zhong got up, stretched his waist, and after eating, he felt much better, but he didn't know that he ate bowl after bowl, back and forth for an hour, and the people who bought and sold people had already packed up.
Lin scratched his head, there was no way, it was better to find a place to live first, and it would be convenient for the next arrangements.
After walking around the street, Lin Chong wondered, why can't he see such a big Loulan inn? Is he Lin Chong blind or just not? Raise his head, the sun is about to set in the sky, the afterglow is golden, scattered in the world, there are already a lot of people around, and the shops have begun to close their doors and close their stalls.
But not finding an inn is the same thing for Lin Chong, it's a matter of sleeping comfortably, anyway, the roofs of these houses can sleep, shaking his head, Lin Chong jumped a big jump, jumped to the roof of a house, raised Erlang's legs, Lin Chong lay comfortably, his right arm was still very sore, he didn't know what was wrong, maybe it was because of too much spiritual power consumption.
Shaking his legs, Lin Zhong closed his eyes.
