Chapter 80
After a brief battle, the man in black robe hurriedly left, which was unexpected to Mu Xiao. Han Yu, who was originally unable to get involved, also walked over and looked at the place where the man in black robe disappeared. His neck stretched and swallowed his saliva, and he was still shocked: "Why is this man so strong? It seems to be better than the ones in the Guarding Army before."
Mu Xiao pinched his nose twice and said, "Master Han, do you know that Liaocheng or other places have drugs to improve their strength?"
Now if you want to find out the origin of these people, it may be easier to start with the source of the drugs that improve their strength. Although it was suspected that it was related to Liujiazhuang at first, the drugs taken by the enemy these two times were obviously not as fierce as Nangong Yunmu. Besides, Taiqing Dan is a royal ban, and Liujiazhuang should not take the risk of selling it. If you find out, it would be a serious crime to be executed.
Han Yu's thumb was wrapped for a while, and he tilted his head and thought for a long time and said carefully: "If you want to talk about the refining of medicines in Liaocheng, it must be that he can't compare to Liujiazhuang. However, it is rumored that Liujiazhuang had transferred the pharmacy several months ago."
“Transferred?”
"Yes, but who else is still unclear. I just heard the rumors. As for whether it is not sure." Han Yu added, the three of them continued to walk along the forest towards Liaocheng.
Not long after they left, a man in black robe looked behind him hundreds of meters away from the fighting place, and saw that no one was chasing him. He slowed down and sat on the ground and gasped and cursed: "Tan Ba Lamb, he actually lied to me. These two people are actually strong people in the sword master realm. They took medicine and could only deal with it."
"It seems that you are really a waste. You can't solve the problem of a Weilong who has just stepped into the Pseudo-Sword Lord!" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.
The man in black robe turned around; "I..."
puff
Before he could say anything, a white light flashed through his neck, with a tingling sensation in the cold, and a piece of blood sprinkled with weeds in the mango forest.
In!
A sound of a long sword being sheathed came, and a slender figure slowly left in front of him. The man in black robe covered his neck and fell to the ground. His eyes that were dying were looking at the direction where the figure left.
......
Leaving the forest, passing through a mountain range, walking through a valley. The endless plain is in front of you. In the middle of the vast plain, a city suddenly sits in the center. A big tree in the city looks particularly eye-catching, with its slender branches and leaves extending around, like a giant standing on the edge of Liaocheng, but the scenery on both sides of the big tree is completely different. On one side, the trees are shaded, and towering buildings can be felt from a distance. Another area is dilapidated, with collapsed buildings everywhere, with yellow sand exposed in the middle of the low house, and sand and dust rolling after the wind blows. The big tree is like blocking it outside, preventing the smog from approaching the other side of Liaocheng.
Pointing at the group of low houses drowned in the wind and sand, Han Yu smiled awkwardly: "In front of us is Liaocheng. The place that is flooded by yellow sand is my hometown. It was originally a place of Liaocheng. In recent years, people have called sand smoke." His eyes moved to the right, and there was a smile on his face, but at this moment he was helpless: "That is the place where powerful families gather. In the eyes of the world, it is the real Liaocheng."
"The same world, the same land, but different appearances. The only thing about Yanyu Liaocheng is like this. Let's go! Go to your hometown first."
Mu Xiao patted Han Yu and said, while the black dragon beside him looked at the green trees and the buildings in Liaocheng, quietly dazed.
"Brother Long, let's go!"
"Okay, go to your hometown"
Heilong, who was pulled from Han Yu's daze, smiled and said, "Who can understand that he is inexplicably sad? When he left this city, he never thought that he would come back in his life. His master spent all his efforts to take him away overnight. It was just to keep himself alive. The family struggles made his young mind become forbearable and strong overnight.
Not long after, the three of them walked into the sandy and smoke in Liaocheng and occasionally saw several relatively complete buildings. The same scene as the east of Tianyuan City, but there was no such thing as Tianyuan. Following Han Yu, Mu Xiao and Heilong kept looking around. Occasionally, the wind blew, and the few couldn't help but cough twice. Before half of the long street, everyone had a layer of sand and soil on their bodies.
The tavern half-closed the door on the street, and two tables were placed under the thatched hut at the door. The top was already covered with dust. The boss lay on his back on the rocking chair, and the fan in his hand slowly swung.
Squeak
Seeing Mu Xiao and others approaching, the boss put away his legs and landed on the rocking chair in a panic: "Please be an objective person here."
call!
The boss saw that the stool was covered with yellow sand. When the fan was swung, he blew his mouth hard along the stool. The dust suddenly flew under the thatched hut. However, his enthusiasm was not reduced. Such movements were repeated several times a day, and basically he had to repeat them once a customer came.
"Are you all please take a seat!" The boss was stunned when he raised his head: "Han Yu? Why are you back?"
Han Yu looked at the boss with dusty eyelashes on his upper and lower eyelashes and smiled: "Come back and see, Uncle Chen's business is good recently?"
"What's so good? There are only a few customers a day. Look at the environment. How many people can eat here?" The boss said helplessly, pointing to the closed shop across the street: "Look, you can run away, you can die, you can almost go there. There are almost everyone on the street. Some days ago, someone came to look for coolies, and many people went out."
Indeed, the environment in front of me is still a problem when eating outside, and the dust is everywhere. The boss was embarrassed to continue asking everyone to sit down, but walked into it, carried two jars of wine, put it on the table and looked at Mu Xiao and Heilong, and said to Han Yu in a blink of an eye: "There are two jars left, you can take them away. Treat your friends well. No matter how poor we are, we can't take them away." After saying that, it was almost close to Han Yu's ears.
But the whisper seemed a little too loud, and Mu Xiao could hear it clearly. He took a step forward and bowed slightly and said, "It's a blessing for Uncle Chen." Then he turned around and said, "Guard Han, I want to invite Uncle Chen to your house together, don't you mind?"
"What are you talking about with Mr. Mu? Of course I don't mind." Han Yu replied happily.
The whole street here is deserted and it seems that as Uncle Chen said, there are few families living here. The coolie he mentioned has anything to do with the people traded by Lu Meng. If you want to know, you can only learn more about the boss in front of you.
Uncle Chen is not very old, and it seems that he is only in his forties or fifties. Even though he walks, his feet are a little uneven. I don’t know if it is because of congenital or injury, Mu Xiao didn’t even bother to ask.
Close the door of the tavern, Uncle Chen slapped the dust on his body and grinned, "Let's go, there are no customers today anyway. I'm just going to see the little guy."
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at a relatively clean alley. There was no yellow sand everywhere, but a stone-paved ground. Although it was uneven, it was much better than the situation where the strong winds passed through the border outside and were blinded.
"This place is a cleaner place for sand smoke. Over the years, more and more people moved away from here. It is logical that the place where no one should be overgrown with weeds. But for some reason, not only did not grow grass, but sand has become more and more serious. A few years ago, I directly called sand smoke here." Uncle Chen chatted while walking, and Mu Xiao listened carefully.
Mu Xiao became even more confused. As Uncle Chen said, the sparsely populated sand smoke should have been overgrown with weeds, but just now, it was found that the sand smoke was no different from the battlefield.
"Has something strange happened over the years?" Mu Xiao couldn't help asking.
"Yes, the trees here a few years ago were overnight, with lush leaves falling yellow, and no grass growing in a few miles apart. That was overnight."
Uncle Chen fell into memories. After that night, people living here began to flock to the other side, but people without money could only continue to live on this side. After a few years, the sandstorm became more and more serious, and many people were forced to move out. People who had no money to move into the other side chose to go outside to make a living.
Mu Xiao finally understood why most of the people in the border town barracks came from Shayan. Maybe they really chose to go to the barracks just to survive at the beginning, but how many people are as lucky as Han Yu? I hope they can all figure out that joining the army is not only for living, but also know how to protect the peace of the border town and protect the hard-won life now!
Scream
The sound of the wooden door opening came from the front, interrupting Mu Xiao's thoughts. A young woman turned back from the yard, and Han Yu had not yet stepped inside. She was so surprised that she rushed up like a child and hugged Han Yu. The simple scene touched several people behind her at the same time.
"Oh! Gayi, Gayi...there are guests!" Han Yu held two jars of wine, standing in awkwardly reminding the woman.
Only then did Taigayi notice that Mu Xiao and others behind Han Yu were blushed. After blushing Han Yu, he stepped forward and saluted the two of them.
"Have you seen my sister-in-law"
"Have you seen your younger brother and sister"
Mu Xiao and Heilong bowed and bowed to greet each other. Han Yu was a little older than Mu Xiao, and it was reasonable to call him sister-in-law. But the black dragon called him brother and sister, which made Uncle Chen look weird behind him. But he didn't know how old the black dragon was older than Han Yu, but he just didn't look old.
"Everyone is well, come in!" Taigayi greeted warmly, with a shy face, and every word and deed were full of courtesy.
Heilong thought to himself that Han Yu has such a wife, which is really a blessing from the previous life. Suddenly, at some point, he had the urge to give up and find the Yang family, and he wanted to rush back to live a comfortable life with Luo Xiaodie.
"What are you doing when you stand?" Mu Xiao looked at Heilong with a deep thought and pushed him.
Heilong looked at Han Yu and his wife in front of him and whispered: "Look at me, get married and start a business!"
After saying that, he followed Han Yu and the others to the yard, but Mu Xiao was stunned: "The world is home, isn't it also home?"
Han Yu's house is not very big, and the houses in the courtyard are neatly arranged. At a rough look, there are about six or seven rooms, and there is a bright hall on one side of the courtyard.
The surface of the stone slab in the courtyard is smooth and smooth, showing the traces of time. The simple but clean courtyard is in sharp contrast with the dusty streets outside.
Taigayi was busy moving chairs for several people. While everyone was browsing around, a three or four-year-old child pulled a small wooden horse in his hand and came out from the hall.
Seeing so many people suddenly coming from the yard, I put down the small thread in my hand and kept pounced on Taigayi's arms, burying my head and not daring to lift it up.
When Han Yu reported him from behind, he turned around and cried! The strangeness and distance touched the hearts of several people.
Taigayi chuckled in her ear and said, "This is Daddy, don't be afraid!"
Well
The crying stopped abruptly, and the child looked at Han Yu with tears in his eyes, as if everything around him became extremely quiet.
Chapter completed!
