According to experience outside the desert, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in such a large oasis. Finding one person here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Haksu almost cried.
"We brought you here to serve you delicious food and drinks. Now is the time for you to show your value!" The old man knelt down and patted Haksu's shoulder gently.
"Old man, please stop trying to push me, okay? It's okay if I recognize someone, but let me find someone, how can I not do that!" Haksu said with a sad face.
"Okay, old man, stop teasing him! Let's go in first and talk about it later!" Jiang Xingchen reached out and pulled Haksu up from the ground.
The old man smiled, patted Haksu on the shoulder again, and walked forward!
Haxu ran to the end of the team and hid far away, as if he was afraid that the old man would ask him to find someone again...
As he walked inside, Jiang Xingchen sighed, this place really looked like Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall, with small streams, green trees, and a gentle wind blowing in his face. He felt that the temperature had dropped a bit, and the burning sensation in his body was gradually dissipating.
"What a wonderful place... I never thought there was such a place in the desert." The old man also sighed.
"Huh?" Jiang Xingchen, who was walking, suddenly stopped. He saw that the tall trees on the right were no longer tall trees, but turned into a large trellis of vines with strings of plump and round purple-red beads hanging on them.
"Grapes! There are actually grapes here!" Jiang Xingchen looked surprised. He never expected to encounter such a thing in the desert.
"Bring it back, you must bring it back! Wine, luminous glass, chilled with ice. Pair it with delicious seafood... His mouth watered just thinking about it.
"Boy! What is this? Is it delicious?" the old man asked with his eyes shining. One look at Jiang Xingchen's look and he knew that he had definitely encountered something delicious again.
"Is it delicious, hehe! You'll know after you try it later." Jiang Xingchen turned around and stopped the team, and he and the old man walked towards the grape vines. The grapes here were set up on shelves, and you could tell they were grown at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as they got closer, a figure came out from under the shelf and met them face to face.
She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a face full of vicissitudes of life, and she looked very simple and honest.
"You..." the woman said in surprise. Not because she met the camel team, but because Jiang Xingchen and the others had oriental faces. She had never seen such strange people in her whole life.
"You don't have to be afraid, we are merchants from the East!" The old man quickly explained.
"Dongfang?" The woman frowned and shook her head to express that she had not heard of it. However, judging from her expression, she had obviously relaxed.
"Yes!" The old man nodded, pointed at the bunches of grapes and asked, "We want to buy some of the ones you grow here!"
When the woman heard about the business coming to her door, she immediately smiled and nodded: "Yes. Of course! How much do you want to buy?"
The old man turned to look at the team and said, "I hope I can get a hundred strings anyway!"
"Okay, okay..." The woman was so happy that she grinned to her earlobes. While leading the old man and Jiang Xingchen to pick grapes, she talked about how sweet the grapes she grew were.
The old man took the opportunity to inquire about the general situation here. Although he estimated that this was the Tubo Valley, he was not sure after all! In addition, the number of people here and the urban population distribution must be clear.
Half of the results of the inquiry were within their expectations, and the other half were far beyond their imagination.
This is indeed the Tubo Valley, but the population and scale are much larger than they imagined.
The woman said that there was a small town not far ahead. She was from the city and made a living growing grapes. There were about five thousand people in the town.
When they do business, they usually go to the big city in the middle, and they have to walk more than a hundred miles!
"Hiss~" Jiang Xingchen and the old man gasped after hearing this. This oasis is too big. It is simply a small kingdom, not much smaller than the surrounding Coulomb and Salke!
The old man continued to make insinuations and learned that the king of Tubo ruled here, and there were hundreds of small towns like them scattered around the edge of the Tubo Valley.
Jiang Xingchen and the old man looked at each other with bitter expressions. Based on this calculation, the population of Tubo Valley is probably close to one million, and the area is so large, it will be even more difficult to find people!
The woman finally said: "Almost all the people in our small town make a living by growing sweet pearls. They often go to the big city in the middle. You can just find someone to follow you when you come back!"
"Okay, okay!" The old man and Jiang Xingchen nodded repeatedly, then took out a piece of Yuan Stone and handed it to the woman. Just like a small kingdom, this place must have its own currency, which they didn't have on hand. Fortunately, Jiang Xingchen gave it to her directly.
A primeval stone should be regarded as a reward for getting information from the woman.
The woman screamed at that time, her rough hands shaking so hard that she couldn't see the shadow: "No, no, there are too many! I can't find them!"
"No need to look for it!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile: "Just thank you for telling us so much. We are new here and unfamiliar with the place. This information is very important to us!"
After the old man translated, Jiang Xingchen picked up the grapes and walked out of the grape trellis.
The woman held the Yuan Stone in her hand, dumbfounded and didn't react. She was so dizzy from this windfall. One Yuan Stone, not to mention buying a hundred bunches of grapes, would cost her more than three hundred grapes.
Even if you buy it, you will be rich. Where did this wealthy person come from? Are they really here to make money...
"It seems to be more difficult than we thought. There are tens of thousands of square miles of land, hundreds of small towns, and one big city. How can we find this person?" The old man muttered depressedly.
"Don't think about it yet, come on! How about trying some grapes?" Jiang Xingchen walked to the roadside with a bunch of grapes.
There is abundant water here, and there is a clear stream on the roadside. Jiang Xingchen roughly washed the grapes in the water, pulled off a grape bead and threw it into his mouth.
"Yeah~ sweet!" Jiang Xingchen nodded. The woman was really not lying. These grapes were so sweet. He felt better than any grapes he had eaten in his previous life! The skin was thin, the flesh was thick, the seeds were small, and the juice was juicy.
....A series of adjectives jumped out of his mind.
"Xiao Xiang, come here! Try it!" Jiang Xingchen waved to Kitty Girl.
Kitten Girl came running like a gust of wind. Jiang Xingchen pulled down a grape and said, "Open your mouth!"
"Ah~" Kitty Girl was very obedient. Not only did she open her little mouth, she also made a sound, which almost made Jiang Xingchen fall over.
"Don't be cute!" Jiang Xingchen tapped Kitten Girl gently before feeding grapes into her little mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang Xingchen looked at Cat Girl and asked.
"Yeah!" Kitten Girl's eyes turned into crescent moons and she nodded vigorously: "It's so sweet and delicious..."
The old man on the other side also washed the grapes and followed Jiang Xingchen's example and threw one into his mouth.
"It's delicious! It's delicious!" The old man's eyes were shining. He nodded while eating, and his cheeks bulged up as he continued to eat.
The private soldiers each picked up a bunch and went to the stream to wash it. Then they dispersed and sat on the ground to eat the grapes. Then, praises and compliments came out of their mouths without hesitation.
When Lijiu saw everyone coming to eat, he also ran over excitedly and came to Kitten Girl's side.
"You want to eat it too! Here. It's so sweet!" Cat Girl smiled and picked off a grape and handed it to the cat.
Lie Huo was originally excited, but when he smelled the grapes, he lost his energy. He meowed twice, shook his head proudly, and walked away with cat steps!
"Ah! Why did I forget that Liehuo eats meat! Don't eat this!" Kitten Girl saw Jiang Xingchen and the old man staring at her in surprise. She playfully stuck out her tongue!
As soon as the liquor left, the little pom-pom came over! It was not a vegetarian, so it grabbed a bunch of grapes without washing them, and gnawed them while holding them. The juice was all over its body, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"Everyone, please pay attention!" Jiang Xingchen stood up and clapped his hands and said, "After eating the grapes, keep all the grape seeds!"
"Yes!" Everyone knew what Jiang Xingchen was going to do. In fact, he didn't need to say it, the soldiers would keep the seeds themselves.
At this time, the woman walked out from under the grape trellis and thanked Jiang Xingchen and the old man profusely. One yuan stone was enough for their family to have enough food and clothing for the whole year!
Jiang Xingchen and the old man finished eating the grapes, said goodbye to the woman, and continued on their way. Soon they arrived at the small town the woman mentioned.
As we got closer to the small town, people gradually began to appear around us, and an obvious road appeared at our feet. On both sides of the road, a large number of farmland also appeared.
Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Just looking at this camel caravan was shocking. More than 500 camels were lined up two or three miles away.
What's also interesting is Jiang Xingchen's oriental faces.
Very few people come here. The entire Tubo Valley is in a state of self-sufficiency. Even the forces deep in the desert cannot reach here, let alone the Easterners. Of course they are curious as they have never seen it before.
Jiang Xingchen and the old man looked at each other and smiled, and said to themselves: "Yes, this time I am a rare animal that is being watched!"
There was only one guard guarding the city gate, and there was no fee to enter the city. After entering the small city, they originally planned to find a place to stay and rest first. After more than 20 days of traveling in the desert, they were exhausted.
But at this moment, two people dressed as guards came up and said that the city lord wanted to invite them.
Jiang Xingchen smiled, even if the city lord didn't look for them, he would have to find the city lord. With such a large area and such a large population, the best way to find Scarface is to contact the local forces!
The lord of this small town is a big man in his thirties. There are almost never outsiders in Tubo Valley. Now that such a large group of people suddenly appeared, of course he had to meet them and find out their purpose of coming.
After the two parties met, Jiang Xingchen told the other party that he was a team of merchants! The purpose of coming here was to purchase the special products here and transport them for sale outside, and the quantity needed was very large!
The city lord's eyes lit up after hearing this. Grapes are their specialty here. If they could sell them...
Before the city lord could speak, Jiang Xingchen continued: "In addition, we need to find someone who has a cross scar on his right cheek! Whoever finds it, I will give him a hundred yuan stones!"
"Hiss~" The city owner took a breath and had the same thought as the previous woman: "Where did this rich man come from!"
