Chapter 2 - The Inn by the Oasis
Chapter 2－The Inn by the Oasis

Allen took his little hand, and told everyone to bring good things before entering the inn, while he himself led the child away first.One side said: "Little shopkeeper, I haven't seen you in half a year. You have grown taller again." Alan patted the child's head, and quickly reached out to take out a small horn from his pocket. The child snatched the horn, turned it over and looked, Said: "Uncle Allen, what is this!"

Allen said: "Put that little mouth on your mouth and blow it!" The child listened and blew, and suddenly there was a low whining sound.It turned out to be a strange thing, the child skipped through the door, and Alan also stepped through the door.There were seven or eight wooden tables inside the door, and a man with bare arms was arranging the dried meat on the innermost table, while the child ran up the small building as soon as he entered the door.

"Brother Xiao Lang!" Allen called out, and the man turned his head, with a smile on his resolute face, he said, "Brother Allen, here we go again, I haven't seen you for half a year!" Allen walked to the side of the man, said : "The last time I went to the Central Plains, someone ordered some other goods, so I went back and prepared for a long time before I got it all done, so I came here again!"

Xiao Lang said: "Then brother Allen is going to make a lot of money, congratulations!"

A Lun smiled helplessly, turned around and called Abukan from behind, and said, "Brother Xiao Lang, this is my nephew Abukan, he is fifteen, take him out for a run." Xiao Lang didn't stop the guy on hand, look Glancing at Abukan, he said, "You are a very strong young man. I will do business well with your uncle in the future. Your uncle is the most capable caravan that comes to rest here."

"This uncle Xiao Lang, you can't open your mouth." Allen seemed a little dissatisfied with his nephew's motionlessness. What do you want to eat, you can do it yourself, if there is a need in the fire hall, I have to tidy up these things."

Allen nodded, looked at the guys who came in carrying things, and said, "Move them all to the fire hall! Then kill the local dog that you brought, and make a good meal." The guys agreed, and went to prepare .Alan dragged the stool and sat down, and together with Xiao Lang sorted out the jerky, he asked, "Is sister-in-law going to give birth soon?"

Xiao Lang said: "It should be more than half a month! The Bada who left just now have already helped me to invite a midwife to Potou Town, and they should be able to invite them in seven or eight days."

A Lun said: "Then congratulations, Brother Xiao Lang, when I return from the Central Plains, I will definitely bring some necessary things." A Lun was talking, and then he realized that his nephew was gone, and when he turned around, he saw him surrounded In front of the table by the door, sitting in front of the table is the young man who sang under the poplar tree.

The young man's wine gourd was placed on the table, and he stretched out his index finger to draw something on the table.But Abukan sat on the edge and stared at the young man's finger on the table.After asking the young man several times, the young man ignored him, so Abukan could only stare from the side.

"Abukan, what are you doing there? Hurry up and go to the fire hall to help." Following Allen's yelling, Abukan had no choice but to go to the fire hall.Aaron was also a little puzzled by the young man, usually only passing caravans would come to rest here.Glancing at Xiao Lang, Allen asked softly, "Brother Xiao Lang, who is he?"

Xiao Lang said: "I don't know either. He has been here for almost half a month. He just drinks a pot of wine and goes to sing under the poplar tree over there every day, or sit on that table and draw something? Sometimes in the middle of the night If you go outside to dance swords, I also feel like a weirdo.”

"Father, father, come quickly, mother is not good!" The sound of thumping footsteps sounded upstairs, and a small head poked out from the stairs.Xiao Lang put down the work he was doing, and said: "Brother A Lun, help me get it, I'll go and have a look."

After going up the stairs, Xiao Lang took his son and hurriedly walked to the room at the end of the corridor.The door was open, and a woman was leaning on the bed, reaching out to touch her heart, as if about to vomit.Although the women wore coarse clothes, they couldn't cover up the beauty.

Xiao Lang walked quickly, sat on the side of the bed, took her hand, and said: "Yuan Qing, is it hard?" His face flushed, his wife Xiang Yuanqing said: "It's nothing, I feel like vomiting, I think this kid is doing something weird." She rubbed her stomach as she said.

But the child standing by the bed said: "Mother, are you talking about me?" The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Lang patted his head and said: "It's nothing to do with Po!" The little ox horn that I have been holding in my hand is placed on the bed, and I want to climb up to see my mother.Xiao Lang stretched out his hand to hug him, and said: "Stop messing around, your mother is fine!"

Rolling his eyes, Xiao Po still believed it, his father had never lied to him.Pointing to the little ox horn that was placed on the bed, Xiao Po said: "Daddy, you taught me to play that. Uncle Allen gave it to me just now. Mother blew it just now. It sounds very good."

Xiao Lang picked it up, put it to his mouth and blew, but it made a muffled sound.Snatching it with his little hand, Xiao Po said: "Daddy's bragging is so ugly."

But at this moment, Allen's voice came from downstairs: "Brother Xiao Lang, you can come and eat!"

Picking up his son, Xiao Lang said: "Yuan Qing, just rest, I'll bring it up for you later."

The father and son left the room and went downstairs. There were five tables outside, and the freshly cooked dog meat was steaming. Allen ordered the good wine brought to the table.

Xiao Lang found a seat and sat down, put Xiao Po aside and sat down, and brought him chopsticks and a bowl.Xiao Po started eating by himself first.A Lun pulled his nephew over to sit down, and quickly poured wine into Xiao Lang's bowl.

Looking at the young man who was still sitting there, Xiao Lang said: "Brother Xie, come over for dinner."

The young man responded, he didn't care much, he came over and sat down, before moving his chopsticks, he picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip.

So everyone started to eat and drink, and some words were said on the table, but the young man only drank and didn't say a few words, only responding casually when asked.

Xiao Lang was originally a soul-breaking swordsman who moved the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains eight years ago. Later, he followed his wife to this desolate place in the Western Regions to build an inn to live in peace. Although his life was not rich, he was also happy and comfortable.Sand bandits used to haunt this area, and caravans were often robbed and intercepted in the past.Later Xiao Lang came here, used his own martial arts to wipe out the sand robbers, and built the Longmen Inn for the caravans to rest.So after eight years, all the caravans that often travel have become friends with him, and they are called brothers.Such a life can be regarded as very smooth.

Although this oasis has trees and grass, it is surrounded by deserts, and the temperature changes greatly in the morning and evening. When it gets dark, gusts of cold wind are already blowing.The people in the inn covered themselves in the quilt and went to sleep early.After Xiao Lang waited for his wife and children to sleep peacefully, he took advantage of the faint moonlight and practiced sword skills on the grass not far from the inn with the Broken Soul Dao in his arms. As long as there is moonlight, this nightly saber practice has become a must for him.

The cold wind is blowing, although it is not considered strong, but it also makes the skin shrink, and the bursts of coldness go straight to the bottom of the heart, for ordinary people, it is naturally unbearable, but Xiao Lang danced the soul-breaking knife, and felt hot , Sweat profusely, and it didn't take long to sweat profusely.

Xiao Lang stopped dancing the saber, and sat cross-legged on the ground. The vegetation around him had just calmed down in the wind of the saber, and only swayed slightly with the slight wind blowing in the oasis.

Xiao Lang crossed his legs to collect the inner energy, transforming the two energies of yin and yang. The dryness after exercise is swept away.

Stopping the kung fu, holding the soul-breaking knife in his hand, Xiao Lang murmured: "Soul-breaking knife, soul-breaking knife, what kind of mysterious power do you have that can increase my strength by more than ten times--- ——For more than eight years, you have accompanied me through many dangerous moments, and saved me no less than a hundred times between life and death, but I still can't understand you. "

Under the faint moonlight, the faint blue brilliance added a layer of mystery to the soul-breaking knife. He stretched out his hand to caress the blade, Xiao Lang felt the water-like cold seeping into his fingertips and invading his meridians, and his inner energy was immediately drawn.It was that feeling that he had experienced countless times. Pressing the urge to dance the knife, Xiao Lang didn't spin the knife immediately, but slowly drew the breath in his body to his palm, smoothing the chill from the lower blade.

The coldness of the blade came for a while, smoothed for a while, and then came for a while, never ending, Xiao Lang entered into it, resisted the soul-breaking knife, and gradually forgot about it.Sweat quickly covered his body again, and it wasn't any easier than dancing with a knife just now.

"Shopkeeper Xiao!" A voice sounded, Xiao Lang was stunned, hurriedly withdrew his hand from the blade, and looked for the sound. A young man in light long clothes stood not far away, staring at him.

The young man had a long sword stuck on his back, and a wine gourd in his left hand was shaking in his hand. An expression of indifference to world affairs was undoubtedly revealed under the not too bright moonlight.

"So it's Brother Xie, why don't you go to practice swords today." Xiao Lang smiled in relief.

It turned out that this person was a young man who sang during the day. The young man had lived here for more than half a month. Although he didn't like to talk much, he and Xiao Lang still exchanged names.Xiao Lang knew that his name was Xie Yuncheng, but he didn't know more.

Xie Yuncheng said indifferently: "I was practicing sword over there. Originally, Shopkeeper Xiao was very loud when he danced his sword, but then there was no sound after a while. I thought it was strange, so I came to have a look."

Standing up, holding the knife in his left hand, Xiao Lang walked over and said: "So, even though I haven't compared it with Brother Xie, I know that Brother Xie must have been born in a famous family, and his knowledge must be very high. There is one thing I don't know. Solution, I want to ask for advice."

Xie Yuncheng pushed back the gourd stopper, took a sip of wine, and said, "Shopkeeper Xiao, please tell me?" Xiao Lang said: "This saber in my hand is a bit strange, if it touches the saber when the mind is calm, you will feel a coldness spread into the meridians, It gives people an impulse to dance with a knife."

Hearing this, he was startled, and then overjoyed, Xie Yuncheng threw the wine gourd on the ground, and stroked forward with his right hand.Following his strokes, Xiao Lang loosened his hand, and the Soul Breaking Saber flew directly to Xie Yuncheng's hand.There was a distance of more than ten feet between the two, Xie Yuncheng was undoubtedly catching things in the air, Xiao Lang didn't think about how this impossibility could become a reality, but his expression changed: "What does brother Xie want to do?" After talking, he immediately bullied Xie Yuncheng. go.

(Hehe, it seems that a major event is about to begin, and the first artifact in this book, the "Soul Breaking Knife", has shown its face. Brothers, it is recommended to collect and smash it!)
