Jinyi Night Walk

At this moment, another knight exclaimed: "Brother!"

Turning over, he rolled off the donkey's back, rolled a few turns in the reeds before stopping, and the two wild donkeys were suddenly free. They yelled happily "咴咴儿", suddenly left the road and ran into the Populus euphratica forest.

The man who rolled down from the donkey's back turned and wanted to stand up, but he was so stunned by the wild donkey that he became dizzy and retched as soon as he stood up.

The man who plunged into the water popped his head out of the water and shouted, "It's so bitter and salty! Why is it like sea water?"

Immediately afterwards, he shouted again: "It's so cold, so cold! Pull me up!" [baidu Jinyi Night Walk Sticker]

Suleiman on the boat and Gu Zaili on the shore are people who have lived here all their lives. Except for the occasional businessmen from the Western Regions who stop by here, they have almost no contact with the outside world. Have you ever seen such a strange scene?They stared blankly at this pair of strange-looking people, unable to react at all.

The two donkey knights were naturally Xia Xun and Liu Yujue.

They finally found a source of water and a large number of wild animals on the mountain. It took them two days to recover their strength and hunt some animals, and accumulated some dried meat. When they were ready to stop, they filled the water bag again and decided to Leave the mountains.

After crossing the mountains, although it is no longer a desert, it is a large stretch of Yibi, at least as far as the eye can see, the edge cannot be seen. The two of them wondered if they could go out on foot, so they wanted to catch two yaks instead of walking, but the wild yaks were extremely powerful. , The two fell down with bruised noses and swollen faces and couldn't surrender. Just as they were helpless, they saw a group of wild donkeys again.

The two immediately changed their minds. In their thinking, a donkey should be weaker and run faster than an ox.But the process of two people subduing the wild donkey was also horrible.Compared with the small domestic donkeys, wild donkeys can be regarded as tall donkeys. Adult wild donkeys are more than two meters long and weigh up to [-] catties. Moreover, wild donkeys are timid, so they are particularly alert.

Thanks to the special terrain of that valley, the two of them managed to catch two wild donkeys after many twists and turns. It was even more miserable than the process of chasing and killing the Timur cavalry, but their strong desire to survive made them persevere.

Compared with the barren land of the desert, Yibi began to have some low plants and water sources. The two of them ran in one direction for a few days, and gradually saw some poplar trees, reeds, and red willows, but there were still no people, and they were feeling desperate. At that time, they suddenly discovered a beacon tower.

Although the beacon tower has gradually lost its original appearance due to wind and frost, it can still be recognized vaguely. Although the beacon tower built with rammed earth and branches of red willow and Populus euphratica is half collapsed, it can still be recognized. This is a human building, and then Xia Xun, who was careful, found that the Populus euphratica trees here, whether they are dead or alive, have basically the same spacing between plants and rows, and they are arranged in rows in a very regular manner. This is obviously an artificially created forest. .

Xia Xun's spirits immediately lifted. Although it looked like this place had been abandoned for how long, since the ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago were able to station troops here, there must be places where humans live nearby.Even if it is abandoned due to the deterioration of the environment here, or for other reasons, at least the area suitable for human habitation should not be far away.

Xia Xun's deduction is basically correct. This place is already close to Lop Nur. He saw that the Populus euphratica forest and the beacon tower were built here by the imperial army during the Han Dynasty. The remaining city wall was covered with sand long ago, and now that city wall is like a slope of sand, they didn't see it.

The two ran down the obviously artificially planted Populus euphratica grove until they saw the water source and Miss Gu Zaili, and they were finally convinced: they saw someone!Walking alone in the desert, looking around in an environment with no one around, can almost drive people crazy. I believe that even if they see the pursuers who want to put them to death, they will feel a sense of relief and joy in their hearts, let alone seeing These Rob Nur aborigines are gone.

Xia Xun was also dizzy from the wild donkey's jolt. He was so top-heavy that he couldn't swim out after falling into the salt lake, so he shouted for help.Suleiman, who was awake, hurriedly put the penny into the water, and asked Xia Xun to hold the penny and lift him onto the boat.

This card basin is made of a whole Populus euphratica tree, with the middle hollowed out and slightly decorated, it is a canoe. Xia Xun rides on the bow, holding the side of the boat firmly with both hands, and has a feeling of flying through the clouds.

When the boat came to the shore, Miss Gu Zaili looked at them blankly and asked, "Who are you?"

Xia Xun and Liu Yujue were a little more sober, but they couldn't understand a word of this girl Gu Zaili's Luobu dialect.Xia Xun asked back: "Where is this place? Excuse me, girl, who are you?"

Gu Zaili said "Oh" and said to Suleiman: "Judging from their accent, they should be from the side of the sandbar. I can't speak their words well. Uncle Suleiman, tell him."

Suleiman had already jumped ashore, and his movements were indeed vigorous like a young man's. He had heard Xia Xun's words, and said to Gu Zaili, "These are two Han Chinese!" Xun and Liu Yujue greeted each other: "You two young people, how are you! My name is Su Laiman, and this girl is called Gu Zaili. We are from Lop Nur. Are you from Shazhou?"

"Rob Nur?"

During Xia Xun's trip to the west, he had carefully studied the geography of the Western Regions, so he naturally knew about Lop Nur. Hearing this, he couldn't help being shocked: "The blind people on our journey actually came to Lop Nur? This is the opposite!"

Thinking in his heart, he said in his mouth: "Yes, uncle, we are the Shazhou Merchant Hotel. We were originally going to Bieshabali to do business. On the way, we encountered horse thieves and lost all our goods. We ran for our lives in a panic. We managed to escape here!"

Suleiman laughed, looked them up and down, and said friendlyly: "So, it looks like this is the first time you go out to do business? Businessmen who come and go do business often pass by us, old man When I was young, I used to be a guide to guide people on the road. I have been to your place. When others go out to do business, they usually gather several large caravans. Only the strong and strong go on the road. You look like you are not used to walking. Business wise."

Xia Xun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yeah, it's because I don't understand it that I suffered a big loss. Uncle, can you take us back, let us have a rest, and get something to eat, although my goods are all robbed Now, I still have some valuables such as jade ornaments and gold ornaments on my body, which can be used to repay you!"

After this conversation, and looking at the expressions and gazes of the man and the woman, Xia Xun has already confirmed that they are indeed simple and kind local people, and they will not suddenly turn into robbers with evil intentions. He was really not particularly worried about his ability, so he boldly asked the other party for help, and revealed that Lu was still carrying his belongings.

Suleiman pouted his beard a little angrily, and said: "As long as we have a pair of hardworking hands, we can have a happy life. You are the poor, and it is right to help you. How can I ask you for a reward?" Well, this will be punished by heaven and earth! Come with me, go to my house, I will get you some food first!"

Xia Xun and Liu Yujue expressed their thanks repeatedly, and followed Suleiman and Gu Zaili to their village.

Gu Zaili was very interested in these two Han men who appeared in unusually funny poses, and a pair of big eyes that looked deep because of their deep recesses always glanced at them curiously, asking Suleiman something in a whisper, Sometimes Suleiman would answer her directly in Robb language, and sometimes he would ask Xia Xun with a smile.With Xia Xun's heart, who can tell eight lies at a time, it is easy to deal with this heartless old man Suleiman.

The village is in a populus euphratica forest, very quiet and beautiful. All the houses are fences made of red willows, thatched sheds made of reeds, and the four corners are supported by poplar euphratica trunks. .If it is in the Central Plains, such a simple village will only make people feel poor, but here, it seems that this simple and natural village dwelling is the best building that is integrated with the natural environment, and it will only make people feel that kind of poverty. Leisurely, like heaven and earth.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a few children chasing and playing, a few chickens cooing on the ground, and some cows tied in the yard.From this point of view, in the understanding of outsiders, the Luobu people do not eat grains, do not herd livestock, but fish in small boats for food.Obviously, it is a bit of a myth. Although they mainly eat fish, they still have some meat and other foods.

Seeing Suleiman and Gu Zaili bringing back two strangers, the children gathered around curiously to watch.

"Go, go, go and play!"

While coaxing the children away, Suleiman said with a smile to Xia Xun: "This is the village where we live, not far from our village, and there is a house, but it is used to entertain passing merchants, my eldest son Maimaiti is entertaining guests over there. Now there are many merchants living there, but unfortunately they all come and go from Shazhou, so you can stay at my house first, and when there are business travelers returning to Shazhou passing by, I will Let me tell you again, tell them to take you back!"

Suleiman said this out of good intentions, because even if Xia Xun and the others found acquaintances among the business travelers who came to the sandbar, and borrowed two camels, it would be extremely dangerous to return to the sandbar if they were alone and without a guide. one thing.

But Xia Xun would not wait until a business traveler returns to the sandbar. His disappearance may have caused an uproar in the Western Regions. The sooner he goes back, the better. Hearing Suleiman's introduction, he immediately started thinking: "I should go meet those merchants, maybe with their help, I can return to the sandbar as soon as possible!"

But Xia Xun never imagined who he would meet here!
