Chapter 273 – [The Front Is Juhai]
Chapter 273 [The front is Juhai]
Then, the man with good eyesight in the caravan discovered the identity of the visitor.
In the caravan traveling north and south, good eyesight, good hearing, and a loud voice are all very good qualities, and they are often valued and welcomed.
“Those are the two heroes who got lost before!”
The good-sighted fellow exclaimed happily that he had been impressed by the two men who joined him temporarily since this trip. After all, one of them was always dressed in white and carried a long sword on his back, but his style was completely different from the bodyguards in the caravan, so he was very conspicuous.
After the sandstorm before, the two suddenly disappeared, which made the members of the caravan curious, but also a little regretful. After all, it can be seen that the two people are not bad. People who get lost in the desert are always dead. The chances of surviving are slim.
But they have already gotten used to this kind of thing because they have seen enough.
There are cheerful and lively young people joining in all the year round, and then disappearing during the first few times in and out of the desert. This piece of Jedi full of fine yellow sand has swallowed too many fresh lives with its vastness and chill.
For this kind of disappearance, the caravan will not go out to find it.
Because in the desert, the consumption of materials, especially water sources, is also very high, and the consumption of human energy is also great. Delaying in place is equivalent to using everyone’s life to make a joke. So according to the usual practice, the people in the caravan just exclaimed to each other, and then moved on.
After receiving Fang Chang and Sang Ziping, the previous oasis also welcomed this caravan.
They took a good rest for two days, prepared enough drinking water from the river outside the oasis, added some food, fed some fodder to the camels, and set off on the journey again.
I never thought that when I was about to leave the desert, two people who I thought would never appear again were walking here from afar. Looking at its trajectory, it is obvious that it is aimed at this caravan and has a goal.
At this time, Guotou Xitong of the caravan also walked in this direction and looked into the distance.
Several bodyguards gathered around out of curiosity and formed a small circle with Xi Tong as the core. They looked around from a distance together, watching the two figures, one gray and one white, getting closer.
Just a few dozen steps away, Xi Tong leaned over, saluted and said:
“It’s a great blessing for the two of you to return safely,”
Then he raised his head and looked at Fang Chang and Sang Ziping. Seeing that they had ruddy complexions and full beards and tails, his heart skipped a beat. He remembered what the knowledgeable bodyguard behind him said to him before he set off: the two in front of him are probably not ordinary people.
Now Xi Tong has confirmed most of it in his heart, because he saw with his own eyes that the two of them walked out of the desert with two small cloth packages on their backs without even a camel, and they still had the energy to find their own. Caravan – This situation has exceeded imagination.
“Let Xi Guotou worry.” Fang Chang saluted and said with a smile, “It seems that we can leave the desert not far ahead, and this journey is finally coming to an end.”
“Yeah, but it’s still far away.” Xi Tong said, “From here, there are hundreds of miles of Gobi. Although it is better than the desert, it is still dangerous and uninhabited. It is no worse than the desert. How much better.”
After a few pleasantries, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping rejoined the caravan.
“Two heroes, this is your camel, and the supplies on it have not been touched.”
“Thank you Xi Guotou.”
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping said that they knew that if they could not go back, the two camels would definitely be requisitioned by the caravan and become fixed assets. After all, in the desert, every little more supplies means more chances of survival, and there is no room for waste here.
Because the two of them were too profound and unfathomable, they aroused the curiosity of Xi Guotou and a group of bodyguards in the caravan, and they would often come up to answer the questions on the next journey.
However, the two of them didn’t say anything to these ordinary people, they just simply put it off.
Some things, not knowing is a kind of happiness.
………
The road ahead is not as scary as Xi Guotou said.
After leaving the desert, the Gobi Desert is all behind. The road is difficult, but there is no shortage of plants, rivers, lakes, etc.
The route chosen by the caravan is not the shortest, but the one with the lowest risk and the safest.
At least there is sufficient fresh water, common residents, and relatively rich food.
This is not just a matter of having money but also life. Xi Guotou told Fang Chang that going out to do business will not only make money, but also never lack the probability of losing money. But in this, sufficient profit and sufficiently low risk are also necessary things.
Fang Chang was having a barbecue with the people in the caravan.
The Anxi celery here in the Western Regions is a good thing. Sprinkle a little of its seed powder when grilling, and there will be a fragrance in an instant, and the smell of fishy smell will disappear quickly.
Fang Chang smiled and said: “Xi Guotou’s words are reasonable. After all, there is a 30% chance of earning ten guan, but it is not as good as a 100% chance of earning three guan. The risk is not a simple multiple relationship.”
“That’s not right!” Hearing Fang Chang’s words, Xi Tong agreed very much. He carefully sprinkled seasonings on the barbecue and said, “We are all people with families and families, and we are not like sand bandits who lick blood on the tip of their knives.” Yes, of course I don’t like accidents.”
“After all, there are wives and children in the family. If there is something wrong with me, wouldn’t it all belong to others? So everyone can settle the account, and no one wants to be taken advantage of, hahahahaha.”
Fang Chang nodded beside him, and turned the barbecue several times.
After living in Yunzhong Mountain for a long time, Fang Chang is very proficient in various cooking methods, including roasting.
After all, his cooking utensils also went through a stage from simple to complex.
Even if there is a clay pot behind, he can cook, but he did not give up the seemingly primitive cooking method of roasting, because this cooking method can bring enough special flavor.
Seeing that Fang Chang did not answer, Xi Tong said:
“The West Sea is ahead, and the destination of our caravan is about to arrive. Thanks to the two heroes for taking care of us along the way. This is a small meaning of our caravan.”
After finishing speaking, he handed over a few pockets, which jingled.
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping each took it, and when they opened it, they were some coins in different shapes, some were copper coins from the Central Plains, and some were coins minted by small countries in the Western Regions, made of copper and iron, mixed with gold and silver, On the whole, the value is appropriate, in line with the remuneration level for passers-by to participate in guards.
The two of them put it away in peace and thanked fellow Xi.
The Western Regions has a vast world, not only the Gobi desert and yellow sand, but also many scattered small countries beyond the rumors, and water towns no less than Jiangnan.
