Immediately discussed with the generals in the army, Yun Wuyan and Shen Xiangdong tried their best to stop Li Luo and did not want Li Luo to be involved in danger. Li Luo had no choice but to express his thoughts clearly. Shen Xiangdong and Yun Wuyan were stunned, but Li Luo was unwilling. , everything in the army is not serious. After repeated persuasion, we had to give up.??
This time when they left Mukuo, Leng Bing recommended himself. Chu Ying'er knew everything about the Western Regions and also accompanied him. The generals saw that Leng Bing and Chu Ying'er were going with them, and these two people were beside Li Luo. Unless they were from the Western Regions, The national army besieged them, otherwise it would not be easy to get an advantage from the three men, so they agreed immediately.
However, Li Yuanxi heard that Li Luo was going to Mukuo, and for some reason she insisted on going with him. Li Luo was a little surprised, and after thinking about it for a while, he agreed, and took Li Yuanxi and four others on a business trip. After leaving the customs, they rushed More than a month later, we arrived at the west entrance of Pingsha River.
It's just that none of them expected to encounter the rare sandstorm in the Western Regions and missed Sutou. If it hadn't been for this inn, they would have suffered a lot in the sandstorm.
The sound of wind and sand gradually became smaller, the sound of thunder became longer, and there was a crackling sound outside the house. I don't know if it was raindrops or grains of sand. The demon lady personally served wine and food for Li Luo and others, then turned to the inner hall and did not come out for a long time. I don't know what I'm busy with.
Several people sitting in the room stayed for a while and then went back to their rooms. The remaining people were all travelers without guest rooms.
Li Luo did not drink alcohol and ate some dry food at will. Leng Bing and Li Yuanxi drank a few bowls of wine but did not drink too much. None of them were talkative people. They chatted for a few words and then sat quietly.
The middle-aged businessman who just gave up the room said he was offended, and came over to sit with Li Luo and others with a wine glass. Li Luo pulled out a chair and asked the middle-aged businessman to sit down. After chatting for a while, he learned that the middle-aged man's name was Duan Jiang, a Mongolian, traveled in the Western Regions and made a living by selling furs and medicinal materials. This time he passed through Mukuo to bring special medicinal materials from the Western Regions back to the Mongolians, but he didn't want to be blocked by the sand buried in the sky.
Duan Jiang didn't show up, and said hello to a few people. Seeing that the three people except Li Luo were all people of few words, he knew what was interesting and didn't bother him anymore. He just chatted with Li Luo.
This time, Li Luo changed his name to Shen Luo and said that he came to the Western Regions to seek medicine. When Duan Jiang heard this, he asked in surprise: "Brother Shen, you came all the way from Dagan to the Western Regions, what kind of medicine are you seeking? In this world, Are there any medicinal materials that you can't buy?"
Li Luo smiled and said: "The world is so big, Da Gan can't necessarily cover everything in the world. By the way, Mr. Duan is a medicine practitioner. I wonder if you have ever heard of a medicinal material called sandworm?"
"Sand-eating worm!?" Duan Jiang was stunned and asked: "What are you looking for this poisonous thing for?"
"An elder in the clan suffered from wind-cold disease and lost feeling in his lower limbs. He had sought medical treatment for many years but could not find a cure. Later, he obtained an ancient prescription from a doctor with extraordinary medical skills, saying it could cure the disease. The medicine was introduced It is the sand-eating worm. The elders in the family traveled all over the north and south of Dagangan but could not find this medicine. In desperation, they had no choice but to ask the doctor again to tell him that this medicine was produced in the Western Regions and was not widely spread in the world. The four of us had to go to the Western Regions. , try to find this sand-eating worm, has Mr. Duan seen it before?"
"I have never seen this in person, but sand-eating worms do exist. They are quite toxic and are rarely used for medicinal purposes. But from what Brother Shen said, it is quite possible. Sand-eating worms like heat. I heard that in some Occasionally, you can see a few near the crater. If you prescribe the right medicine, it may really be able to relieve the symptoms of wind and cold. However, it is not easy for Brother Shen to buy it in the Western Region Pharmacy. No one has time to keep this medicine for medicinal purposes, so why not When the wind and sand stop, find a local to take you to the nearby volcano area to try your luck. You might be able to find it, but be careful. This thing doesn't look big, but it can easily poison a sheep."
Li Luo snorted, nodded in thanks, and then asked, "Does Mr. Duan come to the Western Regions often?"
Duan Jiang laughed and said: "Don't call me Mr., it seems that you are from the Da Gan family. We who are wandering around in the world, come and go through wind and rain, can't even be compared to the word "Mr."
Li Luo smiled slightly and said: "Now I have the guts to call you Brother Duan."
Duan Jiang said with a smile: "Hello, brother Duan, hello, brother Duan, we are all brothers from all over the world. Oh, by the way, just now Brother Shen asked me if I come to the Western Regions often. Half of the time in a year is in Mengjue and half of the time in the Western Regions. I have traveled through several countries, and I am not just boasting, but I can be considered half of the Western Regions." As he spoke, he actually thought of himself as Li Luo's brother. Li Luo was not annoyed, smiled lightly, and continued: "The weather in the Western Regions has changed like this. Just change?"
"That's right, the weather in the Western Region is just like a girl. It changes faster than the weather." Duan Jiang cursed and suddenly realized that there were two female relatives among Li Luo's companions. He smiled awkwardly and said: "That's wrong. , I said it wrong, look at my mouth." After saying that, he slapped me lightly.
Li Luo smiled and glanced at Chu Ying'er and Li Yuanxi. Seeing that they looked indifferent, he said with a kind smile: "Brother Duan has no intention, it doesn't matter."
Duan Jiang continued: "However, this kind of sand buried in the sky is not common. Sometimes it doesn't happen once in decades. Sometimes there is a big sandstorm every three to five years. Just wait and see. If the sandstorm is lighter, it will rain heavily. Oh, hey, I haven't buried Tiansha for seven or eight years before. I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck this time, but I actually encountered it and was trapped in this inn." After saying this, he shook his head and sighed.
Li Luokuan explained: "Brother Duan, don't worry, you must be lucky. If you are trapped in the wind and sand in this weather, it will be very bad."
Duan Jiang thought about it again and felt that it made sense. He became happy and said: "Yes, yes, how dare you complain to God if you rely on God to make a living? If God gets angry and throws a stone down, you will be a useless person." After finishing speaking, He glanced at Li Luo and asked tentatively: "Is this your first time to the Western Regions, brother Shen?"
Li Luo thought for a while and said: "Before this time, I only went to Xirong Shuoxi City as far west as possible, and I never went further than that."
"No wonder, you few are dressed lightly, and others think you are out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. You don't look like business travelers at all, but then again, you are neither. In the future, if you go to the Western Regions and go so far, you'd better find someone A few people who are familiar with the Western Regions are traveling together. Otherwise, if we encounter this strong sandstorm again, something will happen. Don't blame me for complaining. You elders in the family are too careless." Duan Jiang said seriously. said.
Li Luo laughed and nodded in agreement. Chu Ying'er and Li Yuanxi looked at each other lightly without saying a word. They closed their eyes coldly to rest and ignored Duan Jiang.
Duan Jiang seemed to remember something and asked: "Which family in Dagan is Brother Shen from? People surnamed Shen are spread across several states in Dagan. I wonder where Brother Shen comes from in Dagan?"
