Chapter 99 Little Taoyuan
The fact is just as old man Qingmi said, the sea of flowers in the desert that Ji Xiaoyan and the others encountered was an oasis enclosed by a barrier in the desert. As long as ordinary people have not successfully entered
If you set a barrier, you won’t be able to see this oasis at all!
As for why Ji Xiaoyan and the others were able to cross this barrier, no one was very clear about it. In the end, they could only sum it up with the word "chance".
After crossing the sea of pink flowers and trees they first saw, Ji Xiaoyan and the others saw a meandering green river. There were some short plants growing on the riverside, and some aquatic plants rippling in the water.
All kinds of fish, shrimps, river crabs and the like are shuttled and cruising among the aquatic plants; on the other side of the river are layers of flowers and trees of various colors, and there are also many white clouds hanging around the mountains and among the trees of various colors. The whole scene is just like
Just like the legendary fairyland on earth, people watching it simply feel a little lingering and don’t know their way back.
And on the riverbank not far from where Ji Xiaoyan and the others were standing, a simple wooden dock was built, with several green boats with lotus pods parked next to it.
Old man Qingya watched the surroundings carefully for a few seconds, and then he called for everyone to choose a small boat and get on it. Ji Xiaoyan thought that there were so many of them, and if they squeezed into a small boat, they would definitely not be able to fit in. To his surprise, when
After everyone got on the boat, it didn't feel crowded at all, and everyone had a lot of space to move around! Of course, to realize this scene, Jia Ga needs to be excluded.
With Jia Jia's size, even a small boat couldn't fit it! So, Ji Xiaoyan directly told Jia Jia and put it in the pet space, so as to accompany her two other pets!
As an NPC known for his strength, Old Man Qingya naturally became the boatman on the boat, and was responsible for rowing together with the Super Thunder Cat. The boat slowly moved along the narrow river, and many people Ji Xiaoyan knew
Flowers all grow near the water, and some graceful trees on the river bank also hang down their slender flower branches gracefully, covered with yellow, white and pink petals, blooming shyly on the flower branches, with the slightest breeze
Brushing across the water, these flowers are like a girl holding a mirror to take a picture of herself, quite eager to speak but shy...
This scenery lasted for a long time. After rocking the boat around a large river bend, Ji Xiaoyan suddenly found that the scenery in front of her changed. They entered a wider water area in an instant, and there were more boats on the surrounding river.
Get up. A green awning boat, a simple boat, a raft; the front boat is masted, the rear boat is ruddered, suitable for flat water, sailing along the current, and the slower speed of the barge; suitable for flat water, sailing along the current, and the faster rocking boat
; use wormwood to prop up the oar, paddle wheel oars with blades, manually step on the oars to rotate the wheel oars, hit the water to drive the boat forward, etc., etc., all kinds of boats are floating on the river! Of course, there are also
There were many gorgeously decorated cruise ships of various sizes interspersed among them. However, Ji Xiaoyan took a closer look and discovered a problem. Most of the river boats floating on the river were empty of people...
Occasionally, only a few figures were seen on one or two boats, and Ji Xiaoyan did not see any clear figures or bodies. Except for the surrounding plants, which were growing wildly and vigorously, the trees in the river were
Apart from the creatures swimming happily, Ji Xiaoyan really couldn't see that this so-called oasis in captivity in the desert was remotely popular.
Old man Qingmi frowned slightly, and after asking Ji Xiaoyan in a low voice the direction of the teleportation array shown on the bone map, he called the Super Thunder Cat and rowed the boat to the river bank together, pulling Ji Xiaoyan and the others next to each other.
We got off the boat directly and walked into the mist along a flower path.
They thought that the entire oasis was just like what they saw at first, without much popularity. However, after walking for a while, old man Qingya pointedly pointed at everyone to stop, and then whispered to Ji Xiaoyan
After a while, old man Qingmi returned to Ji Xiaoyan and the others with an NPC woman dressed in a somewhat exotic style.
"Uncle?!" Ji Xiaoyan glanced at the woman with strange patterns on her face in surprise, and asked the old man Qingya doubtfully: "This is..."
"Local residents!" Old Man Qingmi changed his cautious attitude just now and introduced directly to Ji Xiaoyan and the others: "This is Xiaotaoyuan. They are the local residents who live in Xiaotaoyuan. What tribe are they called?
My mind is a little confused and I can’t think very well! Anyway, I think they are very enthusiastic and welcome guests from all walks of life, so we don’t have to worry about anything!”
"Dear guests from afar, we are the Taotao people of Xiaotaoyuan. Welcome to our little Taoyuan!" The woman didn't care at all that Old Man Qingmi didn't remember their race. Instead, she waited until Old Man Qingmi told them.
After everything was said, she put on a gentle smile, introduced Ji Xiaoyan and the others, and then warmly invited them to follow her into the village.
"How are they? They are very enthusiastic, aren't they?" Old Man Qingmi slowed down, came to Ji Xiaoyan's side, asked in a low voice with pride, and then continued to talk to himself: "I thought that when we got here, there was only a teleportation array.
I couldn't find anything else, but who knows, I'm so lucky! Do you know where the place is ahead? Hehe, I originally thought it was just a small mountain village, with people living in thatched shacks, which would be pretty good...
Gee, I didn’t expect it to be so prosperous..."
"Is this little Taoyuan very big?" Ji Xiaoyan asked doubtfully.
"It's enough to meet the standards of an intermediate town!" Old Man Qingya couldn't help but said with emotion, "I don't know who has the courage to build such a prosperous town in such a large desert...
."
After everyone heard this, they suddenly became more and more excited and curious about this little Taoyuan village.
Not far after following the female NPC, everyone followed her example, peeling away the shadowy mist in front of their eyes, and saw the so-called Little Taoyuan Village...
Different from the original style that Ji Xiaoyan and the others saw just now, Xiaotaoyuan Village stands among lush plants and light mist. The straight and beautiful avenue is paved with many square and smooth white floor tiles, extending far away
place, and then branch off and turn the corner; there are many shops and small buildings on both sides of the avenue, and even neat and novel stalls of various types are placed in some corners; the streets are crowded with people, bustling with customers and businessmen.
, there is a bustling and lively scene unfolding in front of you...
"How is it? Are you amazed?" Old man Qingmi looked around with some pride at the faces of Ji Xiaoyan and the others, and secretly thought in his heart: You know, when he just came out of the fog, he was also caught in front of him.
I was stunned by this scenery!
"It's amazing..." Meow Xiaohei was stunned for a few seconds, and then he exclaimed: "I didn't expect there were so many people here!"
"Don't you just see the crowd?" Old man Qingya's face turned dark. What's so surprising about the crowd!
"Yeah! I think it's magical when there are so many people!" Meow Xiaohei didn't pay attention to the old man Qingya at all. He turned his head and looked left and right, and then pulled Ji Xiaoyan and Thunder Kitty.
They said: "I find it very strange! How can there be so many people in such a small town in the desert that is not easily discovered?"
"What's so strange about this!" Old Man Qingya curled his lips disdainfully, and then said: "Since there is a town here, there must be people! If one of them comes, if he thinks it's good, he can bring some relatives and friends.
Of course there are more and more people! Besides, it’s such a good place, I want to stay for a few more days..."
"Haha, guests from afar, if you like this place, all our Taotao tribe members will welcome you to stay..." The female NPC leading the way immediately turned around after hearing what Old Man Qingmi said.
He turned around and said something to Ji Xiaoyan and the others very seriously and sincerely.
"Haha, we still have things to do... we still have things to do..." After Ji Xiaoyan couldn't stand being stared at by the female NPC's rather eager eyes, she quickly answered and saw her take it back with disappointment.
After continuing to lead them to the town with his eyes, he touched the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and glared at Old Man Qingya fiercely. Didn’t Old Man Qingya have the slightest feeling that something was wrong with this town?
Miao Xiaohei touched his chest, calmed down his heartbeat that had just accelerated, and whispered to Ji Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, how did I find that this NPC wants us to stay so much? Am I being overly concerned? It's just that
Are they too enthusiastic? Speaking of which, with my charming personality, to be honest, this is the first time I have seen an NPC with such eager eyes. No matter how many NPCs I met before, I have never seen eyes like hers.
It seems like...she really wants us to stay..."
"We only borrow the teleportation array. Once we reach the teleportation array, we will teleport away directly! Don't think too much about it!" Ji Xiaoyan patted Miao Xiaohei on the shoulder and whispered to her.
"Yes!" Meow Xiaohei nodded, and then heard the female NPC in front of him speak again: "By the way, guests from far away, I see that you all look a little tired from the journey, do you want me to help you?
Prepare a place to rest, wash up, and eat some special food from our little Taoyuan? Haha, I am not boasting. Many of the foods in our little Taoyuan are several times better than the food outside...
”
"That's a great relationship!" When old man Qingya and Frisman heard this, they were immediately hooked and agreed immediately, looking as if they were about to leave with the female NPC immediately, "We are in the desert
I’m almost starving to death!”
Upon hearing what Old Man Qingmi said, Ji Xiaoyan and Miao Xiaohei immediately looked at each other, and suddenly a realization emerged in their hearts involuntarily: There seems to be something wrong with this little Taoyuan Village... Even though it is hospitable,
It's impossible for an NPC in a village to give money to entertain them for no reason, right? You know, NPC's life also requires money! When a wave of people come, a wave of people will be invited, and no matter how rich the NPC is, it can't afford it.
!
Thinking of this, Ji Xiaoyan quickly smiled and said to the female NPC: "No need to bother with this, we are still in a hurry! When we return, if we are free, we will definitely come back to accept your hospitality! By the way, no
Do you know how far away this teleportation array is?"
When the female NPC heard Ji Xiaoyan's ruthless rejection, she immediately grimaced. Her face instantly put on a sad and weak look, she looked at Ji Xiaoyan pitifully and asked: "Guest
Do you think I’m not a good entertainer, so you don’t want to stay for a while?”
"No, no, absolutely not! We are going to stay, we are going to stay!" Old man Qingya didn't know if his brain suddenly twitched, but when he saw the look of the female NPC, he immediately opened his mouth and said
, then turned to Ji Xiaoyan and said: "Girl, just eat something and wash up! It won't take much time. No matter how fast we are on the road, we don't lack such a little time. We'd better eat something and then
Let’s go!”
Eat something and then leave? Ji Xiaoyan glared at old man Qingmi and thought to himself: I'm afraid he won't be able to leave after eating something! Moreover, old man Qingmi's previous behavior didn't look like someone who cared about beauty and cherished jade.
Why are you so nervous to comfort the NPC in front of you when you see him looking like he's about to cry? Could it be that old man Qingya has fallen in love with this female NPC?
Ji Xiaoyan couldn't help but think to himself, then quickly shook his head and threw this absurd idea out of his mind.
"No! Uncle Master, we can't stay here!" Ji Xiaoyan said sternly to the old man Qingmi, then turned to the female NPC and said: "This
Girl, we are very grateful for your warm invitation, but we are really in a hurry. If we delay for a long time, some things will be difficult to handle! Therefore, we cannot agree to your warm invitation. I hope you don't mind.
! When we return, we will definitely pass by here. Then, let’s talk about it!” After saying the official words, Ji Xiaoyan directly took the old man Qingmi’s arm and gestured to Miao Xiaohei.
After a moment, he asked her to catch Friesman who was about to get food, and then he asked the female NPC: "Is the teleportation array not far ahead? We'll leave now, no trouble."
The girl sent me off..."
Anyway, if the direction is wrong, it will be displayed on the bone map!
The female NPC's eyes widened as she watched Ji Xiaoyan pull Old Qingmi and the others past her and walk toward the village. After standing still for two seconds, she sneered and narrowed her eyes.
Chapter completed!
