Mutated Tao Chapter 147: Nuo opera
The four-way pass will arrive soon.
Unexpected and reasonable, the gate was blocked by officers and soldiers, it seems to be to prevent spies.
The entire border fortress is very fortified, and there are almost no smiles on the faces of those who enter.
However, under the influence of Yinzi, the two groups passed the checkpoint smoothly.
Outside the rivers and lakes, there are many lakes in all directions, and the surrounding areas become desolate, and the surrounding trees are gradually washed away by the Gobi.
By the tenth night, there were no trees around.
The further you go, the more desolate it becomes. Li Huowang has already guessed that maybe this is what Houshu should have been like.
"Huh~" Zhao Wu, who was watching the night, let out a breath of white air.
He rubbed his numb hands from the cold, and breathed out continuously.
It's almost summer, it shouldn't be so cold, but in this wilderness, there are no stones to block the wind, and there is no firewood to light the fire, so it is naturally terribly cold.
Turning his head and looking at Li Huowang, who was sleeping with Bai Lingmiao beside the carriage, Zhao Wu's eyes showed deep envy.
He looked down at his frail body, his eyes full of inferiority complex.
I also want a daughter-in-law, but for a useless person like myself, no woman is willing to be with me.
Taking a breath of dry and cold air to relieve the sleepiness in his heart, he cheered up and practiced calligraphy on the ground with small stones.
Some of them were taught by Senior Brother Li, and some of them were taught by Gao Zhijian himself.
"I want to learn to read, I must learn!" Zhao Wu's eyes were full of determination.
He wants to prove to his father that he is not a waste!
Having learned how to read, I will be able to write letters for others to make money just like the blind fortune teller at the temple fair.
As long as you learn how to read, you can read more books in the future, and you can also go to the exam to gain fame and become a high-ranking official!
"At that time..." Just as he was thinking about the future, he suddenly felt someone behind him.
This abnormal change gave Zhao Wu a chill all over.
He began to tremble involuntarily, and just as he was about to remind the other brothers loudly, a hand without a nail covered his mouth. "Shut up, it's me!"
Li Huowang's voice made Zhao Wu relax quickly.
He lowered his voice to the lowest level and asked, "Brother Li, what's the matter?"
Looking around, there is nothing but the dark Gobi around.
"Shh~ I touched something, let me try to see if it's alive."
Staring at one place, Li Huowang cleared his throat, and suddenly shouted to the other side: "The three old and the four young are on the way, and there are sea jellyfish swimming in the river. I don't know which one to play?"
Li Huowang's voice spread far away in the empty next door, and this voice also woke up the others.
"Is the Spring Festival open?" A Sha's voice, hoarse than Li Huowang's, came through from afar.
"Spring is blooming!"
"Shoulder to shoulder, swing a vine?"
Li Huowang saluted over there. "A Linglong Pagoda! Facing Qingzhai and leaning against the sand! Chaoshouziman!"
"So it's Li Zhenren, are you passing by or waiting?"
"Just passing by, what is the name of the shopkeeper?"
As soon as Li Huowang said this, there was no reply.
Waiting until dawn, Li Huowang realized that the man had already left.
"The incision taught by Zhao Biaotou did not expect to come in handy so soon." Li Huowang muttered to himself.
Although he was keenly aware of that person's arrival last night, he couldn't fully see whether he was alone or a group of people.
It would be great if the conflict can be resolved by just saying a few words.
After all, no one knows whether these bandits of unknown origin have the means to suppress the bottom of the box.
When he learned about the thrilling night from Li Huowang, Lu Zhuangyuan suddenly felt a wave of fear.
"My darling, it's only been so long, I'm here to intercept the road. It seems that Hou Shu is not living in peace."
Li Huowang sat up with those things on his back.
"Don't care about his safety, we are just passing by, let's go quickly, hurry up today, we should be able to reach the town in the dark."
The road after that is still normal, although the surrounding area is still desolate, but at least there is no interception.
Just when Lu Zhuangyuan flattered Li Huowang for a while, they finally saw the crowd.
"Father, why is this horse so strange? Why are there two bumps on its back?" Lu Xiucai asked.
"Are you stupid? That's a camel!"
"Ring, ring, ring~" The camel bell kept ringing, and the camel team stepped on the hard road and moved forward slowly.
Li Huowang glanced at the camel driver, but found that he was covering his face, which seemed to be to prevent wind and sand.
The appearance of the camel seemed to be a signal, and soon more and more people began to gather gradually.
Finally, Li Huowang and others arrived at the first town in Houshu before dark.
As soon as he entered the town, Li Huowang saw the difference between the Houshu people and the Siqi people. Both the buildings and the clothes are more rough.
I don't know if it was because of wind and sand, many people in the town covered their faces.
However, this is also beneficial. The other brothers who are covered with black gauze hats will not look so obtrusive here.
"Let's go, let's find an inn to stay in first, we've been driving for more than ten days, everyone should rest."
The rest of the people who were busy in the world suddenly showed expressions of relief.
Life without firewood and water is really unbearable.
A group of people followed others and merged into the crowd of the town.
At the nearby stalls, the aroma of grilled food and noodle soup teased everyone's taste buds.
As they walked, they came to an empty place that looked like the center of the town.
The sound of drums and gongs immediately attracted everyone to look towards the crowded crowd.
"Is this the Nuo opera?" Li Huowang looked at the three jumping up and down in the crowd and muttered to himself.
Shaking head, twisting body, crouching and trembling, wrapping wrists, stepping, jumping.
The three people whose heads were wrapped in red cloth and wore hideous wooden masks danced very strangely, as if they were unimaginable movements.
Accompanied by this weird dance, there are chaotic rhythms of gongs and drums.
And from time to time, there is also a musical instrument that looks like a horn.
The sound from the black horn was like the whining of a female ghost.
The sound of gongs, drums, ghost cries, coupled with that weird dancing posture, made Li Huowang feel uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
But the people around didn't think much of it, they sat there watching mesmerized.
"What is this? Can this be called singing?" Lu Zhuangyuan, who was a colleague, expressed his opinion with contempt on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodies of the three people twisted even more.
Accompanied by a twist, sharp white fangs protruded tremblingly from the wooden mask's mouth.
That is not one or two, but a full sixteen,
Sixteen fangs trembled with their Nuo drama.
"Is this... a joke?"
These three people have very good teeth playing skills. Li Huowang looked at the white fangs flexibly indented and retracted in their mouths, and almost thought that these fangs really grew out of their mouths.
