Another day later, the three of them finally walked out of the vast desert. The horses they bought from the caravan couldn't hold on anymore and fell on the edge of the desert. As a result, Li Mu regained a certain degree of freedom. Xu Shijin
I gave him medicine in the morning and reduced the dosage. Today he can walk, but he is still speechless. He was supported by two women and walked forward along the road.
In the afternoon, he met a caravan. Jin Chen took out an ingot and exchanged food and water with the people in the caravan. He took out another ingot and got permission to go on the road with the caravan. The leader of the caravan
A carriage was also called. Jin Chen helped Li Mu into the carriage. The dose of medicine was restored, but Li Mu could no longer move.
The driver of the carriage was wearing the clothes of a foreigner, but he was a Tang Dynasty. On the surface, he was in the silk and satin business, and he had a young boy pulling half a cart of silk and satin. However, through observation, Li Mu felt that he might not be in the silk and satin business.
He doesn't care much about silk, otherwise he wouldn't let them sit on it. Even if it's dirty or dusty, he doesn't seem to care.
There is a small box in his arms, and he is inseparable from it. It means that his precious goods are in that box. And what kind of goods can be in such a small box? The answer is obvious, there must be several bottles of perfume in there.
Li Mu had heard when he was in Chang'an that perfume was more expensive than gold in the Western Regions, especially in Persia and other places farther west. A bottle of perfume could be exchanged for two pieces of gold the same size as the perfume bottle. Not only the perfume
Previously, colored glaze was also a rare gemstone in Persia.
This driver must have spent all his money on perfume, put it in a box, and sealed it with wax to ensure that the fragrance would not dissipate. As long as he crossed Western Turks and reached Persia, this box of perfume could be exchanged for two boxes of pure perfume.
When Jin came back, half a load of silk was expensive, but it was not worth comparing with it.
However, this was a narrow escape. After all, the trip to Persia was more than ten thousand miles away. He might have died on the way, or he might not have returned to Chang'an after getting the money. It was all possible.
The driver seemed to be very curious about the trio of Li Mu. He chatted with Jin Chen from time to time. Jin Chen didn't want to talk at first, but he couldn't change cars, so he had to deal with it reluctantly. He blew the ban for a few days, and she
She is also shabby and looks pretty, so there is no need to worry that the coachman is here for sex. This kind of thing is taboo in the caravan. As long as you give money and the leader agrees, you will be your companions along the way.
, whoever does not behave will be considered an enemy of everyone and will be killed and thrown into a pit of quicksand without anyone noticing.
Of course, this refers to the well-behaved caravan, not to mention the gangsters.
"...I'm coming from Luoyang." The driver said, pointed to the boy next to him, and said: "This is my son. Grandma Lu's kindness is to buy half and give half to us poor people.
It's not a boast to have this opportunity to give it a try. As long as we can go back alive, don't underestimate this half a car of silk. It's no problem to buy a house, buy a hundred acres of land, and marry this silly boy a wife.
.”
The driver glanced at Li Mu, lowered his voice, and said: "I'm talking about you two girls, it's not that the old man is rude. Looking at your husband, I'm afraid it's not possible. We can't do anything that is unreasonable. I just want to remind you two girls out of kindness."
Ah, if your husband dies, when my son and I come back, you can go back to Chang'an with us. My wife died young and my son has always been a bachelor. The four of us can live together."
Yinyue widened her eyes and was about to retort. Jin Chen quickly held her down and said, "Brother, my husband will not die. Our trip is to go to Camel Valley to ask the witch doctor for treatment."
"Ah, Camel Valley!" The driver looked a little strange. He looked at Jin Chen and Yinyue and said, "Are you two girls from Camel Valley?"
Jin Chen said with a smile: "I'm from a side branch. I have some relatives. I didn't even know it. My husband is sick. My mother told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to go."
"Oh, oh..." The driver shut up and stopped asking. It seemed that the words "woman of Camel Valley" were taboo, for fear of getting stuck on him.
When Li Mu heard the words Camel Valley, he thought they sounded familiar. After thinking for a long time, he remembered where he heard it. Wusman had said that the three major horse bandits in Longxi, Tiansha League, Zhangjiazhai, and
One is Camel Valley. It is said that the leader of this group of horse bandits is a woman. It is also women who have the final say in the valley, and men are their vassals. But he did not ask carefully at the time. Now after listening to the words of the horseman and looking at his expression, he contacted yesterday.
He heard about the leader and witch doctor in the evening. After all, Li Mu was a planner with a background in gaming. He instantly imagined similar scenes one after another. Then, he thought of a terrible possibility. There was a shortage of men in Camel Valley, and she
Could it be that the two of them also came to borrow seeds from me?
What should we do? The landlord's family has no surplus food! Why are they asking me to borrow it? Are these women's heads flooded? Besides, they don't even think about it, are my seeds so good? The survival rate is very high.
It's low, otherwise Qiaoqiao wouldn't have gotten pregnant after seven or eight months.
I really don’t know what they are thinking!
Phew~~
After farting again, the coachman fanned himself and complained: "Girl, I'm not too talkative. Your husband's strange disease is really disgusting. He has farted so much along the way. You really need to see a witch doctor for this kind of strange disease."
, no serious doctor can cure it.”
Jin Chen responded vaguely, her eyes full of worry. Li Mu kept farting, and she was really worried that something was wrong with her body.
Just as he was speaking, the convoy suddenly stopped. Li Mu was lying in the car, unable to see the situation in front of him. He was curious and couldn't get up. He had no idea what was going on.
I just heard the driver say: "Girl, we've arrived at Camel Valley. We have to wait in line for a while. You can get off the bus and do some activities."
"No, we will take care of your husband."
The coachman didn't say anything else. Jin Chen took out some scraps of silver, bought a bag of water from the coachman, and fed it to Li Mu little by little. This time, there was no food. Li Mu secretly thought, is he feeling safe in his lair? If that's really the case.
, I won’t have to drink poison tomorrow, right?
The team stopped like this. After about an hour, the carriage finally started to move. After another quarter of an hour of driving, Li Mu finally understood why the caravan suddenly slowed down. It was a very narrow pass, and it was said that there was not even a sliver of sky.
Not too much, only one carriage can pass at a time, it is a one-way road. In order to pass, they adopt the method of entering at an hour and leaving at an hour, staggered. They just caught up with people going out in the valley, so they
The caravan waiting to enter the valley only had to wait for an hour.
