Chapter 780 Xanadu

At this time, another knight screamed: "Brother!"

After turning over, he rolled off the donkey's back and rolled a few times in the reeds before stopping. The two wild donkeys suddenly became free. They howled happily for a few times and suddenly left the road and ran into the Poplar euphratica forest.

The man who had fallen off the donkey's back tried to stand up, but he was knocked to pieces by the wild donkey and became dizzy. As soon as he stood up, he retched "vomitingly".

The man who fell into the water popped his head up from the water and shouted: "It's so bitter and salty! Why does it feel like sea water?"

Then he shouted again: "It's so cold, so cold! Pull me up quickly!" [baidu Jinyi Night Post Bar]

There was Suleiman on the boat and Gu Zaili on the shore. They were all people who had lived here all their lives. Except for the occasional Western businessmen who stopped here, they had almost no contact with the outside world. How had they ever seen such a weird scene? They were stunned.

He stared blankly at this pair of strange-looking people, completely unable to react.

These two donkey knights are naturally Xia Xun and Liu Yujue.

They finally found water sources and a large number of wild animals on the mountain. They spent two days recovering their strength, hunting some animals, and accumulating some dried meat. When they were ready, they filled their water bags and decided to

Leave the mountains.

Although it was no longer a desert after crossing the mountains, it was a large area of ​​cliff. At least the edge could not be seen as far as the eye could see. The two of them didn't know if they could walk out, so they wanted to catch two yaks instead, but the wild yaks were extremely powerful.

, the two people were bruised and swollen but could not surrender. Just when they were helpless, they saw another group of wild donkeys.

The two people immediately changed their minds. In their minds, donkeys should be less powerful and faster than oxen. But the process of the two men subduing the wild donkey was also miserable. Compared with domesticated young donkeys, wild donkeys can

It is considered a tall donkey. An adult wild ass is more than two meters long and weighs up to 800 kilograms. Wild donkeys are timid, so they are very alert.

Thanks to the special terrain of the valley, the two of them finally succeeded in catching two wild donkeys after many twists and turns. However, the donkeys are stubborn and untamable. The process of the two people riding donkeys out of the valley can be said to be...

It was even more miserable than the pursuit by Tamerlane's cavalry, but at least their strong desire to survive made them persevere.

Compared with the barren land of the desert, some low plants and water sources began to appear in Yibi. The two ran in the same direction for a few days, and gradually they could see some poplar trees, reeds, and red willows, but there were still no people. They felt desperate.

While there, they suddenly discovered a beacon tower.

Although the beacon tower has been attacked by wind and frost and has gradually lost its original appearance, it can still be vaguely recognized. Although the beacon tower made of rammed earth sandwiched with red willow and poplar branches has half collapsed, it can still be recognized.

This is a human construction. Then Xia Xun, who was careful, discovered that whether the poplar trees here were dead or alive, their spacing between trees and rows were basically the same, and they were arranged in rows very regularly. This was obviously an artificial forest.

.

Xia Xun immediately became energetic. Although it looked like this, I don’t know how long it had been abandoned here, but since the ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago were able to station troops here, there must be places where humans live nearby. Even because of the environment here

If it has deteriorated or been abandoned for other reasons, at least an area suitable for human habitation should not be far away.

Xia Xun's deduction was basically correct. This place was already close to Lobu Nur. He saw that the poplar forest and the beacon tower were built here by the imperial army during the Han Dynasty. At that time, there was actually a Han city wall here, but it was only eroded by thousands of years of wind and frost.

The remaining city wall had long been covered with sand. The city wall was now like a slope of sand, but they did not notice it.

The two people ran all the way down the Populus euphratica forest, which was obviously artificially planted. Until they saw the water source and Miss Gu Zaili, they were finally convinced: they had seen someone! Walking alone in the desert, in an environment with no one in sight,

It can almost torture people crazy. I believe that even if they see the pursuers who want to kill them, they will feel relaxed and happy in their hearts, let alone the aboriginal people of Luobu Nur.

Xia Xun was also dizzy by the wild donkey. After falling into the salt water lake, he was so top-heavy that he couldn't swim out. After falling into the salt water lake, he was so top-heavy that he couldn't swim out. Then he shouted for help. Suleiman, who had regained consciousness, hurriedly put the pennie into the water.

, let Xia Xun grab the bamboo pen and lift him onto the boat.

This card basin is made of a whole Populus euphratica tree. It is hollowed out in the middle and slightly decorated, and it is like a canoe. Xia Xun is riding on the bow of the boat, holding the sides of the boat firmly with both hands, and it feels like flying in the clouds and mist.

When the boat arrived at the shore, girl Gu Zaili looked at them blankly and asked, "Who are you?"

Xia Xun and Liu Yujue woke up a little, but they couldn't understand a word of the Luobu dialect spoken by this Gu Zaili girl. Xia Xun asked: "Where are you here? Girl, who are you?"

Gu Zaili said "Oh" and said to Suleiman: "Looking at their accent, they should be people from the sandbank. I can't tell what they say. Uncle Suleiman, you tell him."

Suleiman had jumped up to the shore, and his movements were as vigorous as a young man. He had heard Xia Xun's words, and said to Gu Zaili, "These are two Han people!" He spoke to Xia Xun in a slightly stiff Chinese language.

Xun greeted Liu Yujue: "Hello, two young men! My name is Su Laiman, this girl's name is Gu Zaili, we are here in Luobu Nur, are you from Shazhou?"

"Robinur?"

Xia Xun traveled west this time and carefully studied the geography of the Western Regions. Naturally, he knew about Lobu Nur. After hearing this, he couldn't help but be horrified: "We are blind people and blind horses all the way, and we actually came to Lobu Nur? It's the opposite!"

Thinking in his mind, he said: "Yes, uncle, we are a business traveler from Shazhou. We were originally going to Bie Shebali to do business. We encountered horse thieves on the road and lost all the goods. We ran for our lives in a panic. It took a lot of effort to escape here!"

Suleiman laughed heartily, looked them up and down, and said kindly: "I see. Judging from your appearance, this is your first time going out to do business, right? Businessmen who do business often pass by us.

When the old man was young, he also worked as a guide for others, and he has been to your place. When other people went out to do business, they would gather several large caravans with strong soldiers and horses before setting off on the road. Looking at you, you don’t look like you are used to it.

Those who follow the business road.”

Xia Xun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, it's just because I don't understand very well that I suffered a big loss. Uncle, can you take us back, let us rest for a while, and give us something to eat? Although all my goods have been robbed,

Yes, I still have some jade ornaments, gold ornaments and other valuable things on me, which I can use to repay you!"

After this exchange, and looking at the expressions and gazes of the man and the woman, Xia Xun was sure that they were indeed simple and kind-hearted local people, and would not suddenly have evil intentions and turn into robbers. Moreover, if they really wanted to rob, it would be impossible for the two of them to do so.

I was really not particularly worried about my abilities, so I boldly asked the other party for help and revealed that I still had belongings with me.

After hearing this, Suleiman raised his beard angrily and said: "As long as we have a pair of hard-working hands, we can have a happy life. You are people in trouble, and it is right to help you. How can I ask for payment from you?"

Well, you 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 gratitude continuously and followed Suleiman and Gu Zaili towards their village.

Gu Zaili was very interested in the two Han men who appeared in unusually funny postures. Her pair of big, deep-set eyes always glanced at them curiously, and asked Suleiman something in a gibbering voice.

Sometimes Suleiman would answer her directly in Rob, and sometimes he would ask Xia Xun with a smile. Xia Xun was such a scheming master who could tell eight lies with just one fart. He had to deal with this unscrupulous person.

Old man Suleiman naturally did it easily.

The village is in a Populus euphratica forest, very quiet, [Baidu Jinyi Night Post Bar Huangmen Neipin provides the first correct text] A very beautiful small village, basically all the houses are made of red willow fences, thatched sheds tied with reeds, Populus euphratica

The tree trunks support the four corners. If it were in the Central Plains, such a simple village would only make people feel poor, but here, it seems that this simple, natural village is the best building that is integrated with the natural environment.

It will make people feel at ease, just like heaven and earth.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw several children chasing and playing, there were a few chickens clucking on the ground, and some people had cows tied up in their yards. From this point of view, in the understanding of outsiders, the Luobu people are not

They ate grains and did not herd livestock. They only used small boats to catch fish for food. It is obviously a bit of a myth. Although they mainly eat fish, they still have appropriate meat and other foods.

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

"Go, go, let's play!"

While coaxing the children away, Suleiman smiled at Xia Xun and said, "This is the village where we live. Not far from our village, there is a house, but it is used to entertain passing merchants. My eldest son

Maimaiti is entertaining guests there. There are many merchants living there now, but unfortunately they all come and go from Shazhou. You can stay at my house first, and wait until business travelers returning to Shazhou pass by.

I will speak for you again and ask them to take you back!"

Suleiman said this out of kindness, because even if Xia Xun and the others found someone they knew in the business trip from the sandbank and borrowed two camels, they would be alone and without a guide, and it would be extremely dangerous to return to the sandbank.

one thing.

But Xia Xun was not willing to wait until a business traveler returned to Shazhou before leaving. His disappearance might have caused an uproar in the Western Regions. The sooner he could go back, the better. Upon hearing Suleiman's introduction, he immediately started thinking: "I

It’s time to meet those merchants, maybe we can use their help to return to the sandbank as soon as possible!”

But Xia Xun never expected who he would see here!
