Stray Chapter 78: Interlude
"The flatbread, the fragrant flatbread, it's not fragrant and doesn't cost money..."
Not far from the carriage and horse station, there is a dark-faced uncle who seems to have been polished by the wind and sand of the Western Regions. He is supporting a stall selling the local greasy flatbread.
Speaking of which, all the customs of the Western Regions are very different from those of the Central Plains, not only the clothing, architecture, but also the food culture. The three of them already knew about it yesterday, because what the carriage and horse station provided was basically Specialties like pilaf and milk tea.
It is this difference that makes them deeply realize that this is indeed not the Central Plains. Yesterday's Chenzhou City is already thousands of miles away, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. .
"Bread!"
After walking out of the carriage and horse station, Yun Tianhe was immediately attracted by the fragrance, and immediately locked the direction of the source of the fragrance, and confirmed that it was the breakfast Han Lingsha just said, so he ran away without stopping. past.
Han Lingsha called out a few times, but found that the other party turned a deaf ear, so she could only helplessly follow closely behind. When she was in Taiping Village before, she still remembered the **** case caused by the dumpling.
People cannot be judged in the same way. People like Yun Tianhe may fight with the delivery boy if they really go to get a takeaway, and then become a troublemaker in a **** case. Lingsha naturally couldn't rest assured to let him act alone.
Liu Mengli did not follow, but waited quietly not far in front of the carriage and horse station, watching the backs of the two walk away. After all, it was just a matter of buying breakfast, and it was not necessary for everyone to go to battle together.
Although it's still morning, Boxian Town is already very lively.
After all, this town used to be called Qiemo County. It has always been an important town on the Silk Road, but it is just at the foot of the Kunlun peaks where the Qionghua faction is located, and it was protected by the sword fairy, so it was renamed later. Boxian Town.
However, the name change will not affect the actual status, so there are many businessmen in the town, many people from the Central Plains come to the Western Regions to do business, and Boxian Town is the most important transit point.
And the business of the carriage and horse station is naturally very good, and it has gradually become the largest building in the town. Every day is busy from sunrise to sunset.
And every day, the horses next to the carriage and horse station are counted according to dozens or hundreds of horses, and people have to be specially taken care of, and they have to be vigilant at night... For example, it is like the later generations In some big hotels, the parking lot outside is full every day.
The three of them were able to find a room to stay yesterday, but it was only because the horse thieves were rampant recently, and they robbed a lot of merchants, resulting in the recent business situation is not very ideal.
So from an objective point of view, Liu Mengli's choice to stand in the open space in front of the door was not a very wise choice... However, the actual result was not affected, and it did not cause any commotion at all.
Obviously she is beautiful and beautiful, but it seems to be collectively ignored by pedestrians. There is no strong crowd watching, and no one even stops and marvels.
It's not that the folk customs are simple, or that people in this era have such a high vision that they don't even pay attention to the beauty of Liu Mengli. It's purely because she is also proficient in illusion, and it is very easy to draw the attention of irrelevant people. Misleading and confusing.
This is probably some kind of common ability that all people who have lit up dreams, illusions, spirituality and other specializations and advanced routes will use it, because it is really convenient and can save too many unnecessary trouble.
However, it also depends on the concept, character and moral level of the person involved. Otherwise, it will also cause great harm, so Liu Mengli has always been very cautious, as before, Yun Tianhe and Yun Tianhe wanted to borrow from the Huainan Royal Mausoleum They were blocked, and in the end they could only remove the memory of those soldiers who had seen them
Obviously, she is very measured, but she still feels that it is not good to do so, because she thinks that memory is the most important thing to people, and the act of taking it casually is too cruel.
"I heard that there was a village over the desert without water, and the entire village was almost buried in yellow sand. What a sin..."
"Thanks to God's blessing, we live at the foot of Xianshan Mountain."
"The wind and sand in the Western Regions are already heavy, and the rain is less. Their village even cut down all the trees and sold them for money. What can be done..."
"I have also heard that it seems that the entire Crescent River Valley has dried up, and all the people in the village can run away, leaving only some old and weak women and children who can't walk..."
A group of traders tied their horses in the open space beside the carriage and horse station, and then unloaded all the goods. While walking into the carriage and horse station, they were discussing something and passed by the quiet girl.
Raising her eyebrows gently, the girl pondered for a while and asked in a low voice, "Master Xia, what kind of place is in the depths of the desert?"
When she was brought by Qionghua's group Yujian, she overlooked the entire Boxian Town and the surrounding conditions from a high altitude. She naturally knew that this town was surrounded by an oasis, like a beautiful desert on the vast sea. pearl.
Going out of the town and heading south, it doesn't take a day's journey to reach the real foot of Kunlun Xianshan. There is a river flowing down from the mountain, giving birth to the entire oasis, running through the center of Boxian Town, winding through, Bring water and vitality.
Pearl of the sand sea, lush, lush and lush...
However, beyond the oasis, there is a vast sea. The vast Gobi Desert is endless and vast, as if the waves of the ocean have frozen, and the surging folds are like frozen waves, extending into the distance.
In the vicinity of the bordering oasis, there are still many cacti growing, but the more you go outside, the more desolate and desolate, and lifeless. It can be said that this is the first time Liu Mengli has seen the desert, and she only read about it in books before.
"Deep in the desert? Nature is still the desert, nothing else..."
The fluctuation of divine will came out, and Xia Ran's voice sounded in the girl's consciousness, calm and natural, as if she was drinking tea and chatting.
Anyway, Liu Mengli doesn't care, so he has nothing to be afraid of, just treat it as chatting remotely through instant messaging software, as long as his mentality is adjusted, there will be no problem at all.
"What about the other side of the desert?" The girl looked as usual.
"That is the end of the land and the sea, and at the end of the sea is a bottomless abyss. Every moment there are countless huge amounts of sea water pouring down like a waterfall, but it will never be filled. Below, it should be the end of the human world..."
Xia Ran can also answer naturally. This world is not a world view like the earth, but a round place. The entire universe was created by Pangu, and the same is true for the human world.
Although there are Kyushu in the world and the Central Plains and Western Regions, there are barbarians outside, and Tianzhu exists, perhaps because the influence of Buddhism has also penetrated into this world... But other modern maps can be found on National continents do not really exist.
He also went to see the ends of the earth out of curiosity, and the result was as expected, as if it was the "End of the World" in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and there is indeed a real end to the human world.
He also tried to go down the huge abyss at the end of the world, but the result was not surprising. It seemed that he was washed into the abyss by countless tons of sea water far exceeding the weight of the mountains. I found myself in the borderland of the ghost world.
Pangu's body disintegrated and turned into the earth. All creatures lived together on the positive side of the earth, and behind the yin side of the earth became a ghost world, where the reincarnation of all races...
Xia Ran confirmed the authenticity of this legend with her own experience, and it was the kind that could be confirmed by physical observation, but unfortunately it was useless.
Liu Mengli nodded lightly, thoughtfully, but said nothing. Although the things that the merchants said just now really touched her heart, it was only limited to that. Her temperament was relatively cold, and she would not spend much trouble because of irrelevant people.
She will also feel pity because of the pity of others. If she can help, she will help... but only if she happens to meet. If there is a disaster in a far away place, she will not think about herself. We must rush over and save all peoples from fire and water.
"Good Dream Glass~"
The iconic shouting sounded, and Han Lingsha finally came back, followed by Yun Tianhe who was feasting and eating the fragrant flatbread with happiness on her face.
For the savages on the top of the mountain, it is probably the happiest moment of the day, and a person like him who is easily satisfied can feel the happiest moment many times every day... In a sense, It's really enviable.
"Waiting for a long time~ Mengli, do you want to eat now? Pick which one you want..."
The girl in red came up to please and said enthusiastically. She wants to make amends for her previous actions, or add an extra layer of insurance.
This doesn't count as hurting each other at all, because whatever she says is good, at most it just makes Mengli embarrassed for a while, but that person is not here at all, and Yun Tianhe doesn't understand these things at all.
However, Liu Mengli's backhand hit her precisely because Yun Tianhe was here. Although he still didn't understand it, Han Lingsha always felt that this matter was just said. Must be embarrassed to death.
"No, thank you." Liu Qianjin smiled, but declined Han Lingsha's kindness.
The girl in red didn't think too much. She knew that this person was extremely powerful. In fact, it was no problem to eat and drink dew, and she didn't usually eat much.
"Then I'll keep it as dry food, and eat it slowly on the road. It could have been faster, but someone is inexplicable, and it seems that he is going to smash the field..."
Han Lingsha gave Yun Tianhe another cake, and then wrapped the remaining dry food in cloth, while saying angrily and funny
"The boss said he didn't need money for the bad ones, so he went to buy ten bad ones. Mengli, you didn't see that, the boss was blowing his beard and staring at him. He probably didn't think there were such people in this world... …”
"Really?"
The lady in the blue-purple gauze couldn't help laughing, but when she looked at the stall over there, she didn't see anyone messing around.
