Whether it's that inexplicable fat man who suddenly appears twice.
Neither Yang Jian nor Yang Jian from the Imperial City of Great Zhou could leave a single trace in Xiaohu's heart.
He originally thought that the caravan from the Great Zhou Dynasty would come to the inn where he was staying, but when he returned to the inn, he realized that it was already full.
It must have been a sandstorm last night that caused pedestrians who were on their way to temporarily stop here.
After all, when you go out, the sandstorm in the desert is as scary as the bandits, or even more terrifying than the bandits.
So they would rather stay here for a few more days than bet on whether the storm will come again.
That night, when Xiaohu divided the money between Shuzi and Asuna, although the two women had seen the money, they were still dazzled by the gold coins on the table.
Shuzi smiled and said, "I'll save it for you to save you from spending it randomly."
Azina smiled: "I don't think I have counted so much money before, thank you."
Xiaohu thought about the guys in the tea shop and said softly: "Sister Shuzi, I miss you sir. Let's leave early tomorrow morning."
Asuna didn't speak. She was also thinking about what kind of place Tianshan was that could make Xiaohu yearn for it.
Shuzi sighed and said leisurely: "I miss my brother too. Since we have a day's rest, let's set off tomorrow? It's better to go back earlier. "
Xiaohu thought for a while and said with a smile: "When sir wakes up, we can go back to Dazhou to play with Brother Xiaohei."
Speaking of Xiao Hei, Shuzi couldn't help but smile: "He seems to have become lazy now. He actually hid in the palace of Zhou Dynasty this time and refused to come with me to the desert to find you."
Ashina was shocked when she heard this. This was not the first time she heard about Da Zhou's palace, but she didn't expect that the Shuzi in front of her was also involved in Da Zhou's affairs.
Shuzi looked at her exaggerated expression and couldn't help laughing: "Don't get me wrong, I have no friendship with the royal family of Dazhou. It's my brother's business."
Xiaohu nodded when he heard this and said with a smile: "Sir, you definitely don't want to deal with the emperor of Zhou Dynasty."
In his opinion, he was not even willing to meet the emperor of Qin, let alone the emperor of Zhou.
Thinking about what Yang Jian said to him, Xiaohu chuckled: "I went out for a walk today, and I unexpectedly met a caravan from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it turned out to be the same as the one from Northern Qi."
Shuzi smiled and said, "You also went to the capital to get married?"
"Yes, they were tricked by guys from Beiqi."
Xiaohu sighed and said, "But compared to the Northern Qi caravan caught in the storm, they are lucky."
Hearing this, Shuzi couldn't help but sigh quietly and said: "Fortunately, that hill protected us from the horrible yellow sand, otherwise we would have been just like them."
Asuna looked at Xiaohu and asked, "Are you buying fireworks?"
…
One night passed, and until the three of them left the town, Asuna still couldn't forget the gorgeous fireworks, and had to let Xiaohu take out one and show it to her to feel relieved.
Even Shuzi is the same.
In her opinion, the Tianshan Mountains are as lonely as snow. It would be nice to think about setting off a few fireworks from time to time during the long winter.
The journey back home was as fast as an arrow, but even so, Xiaohu was still surprised by the appearance of a guy on the road.
Stepping forward to hit the horse, Xiaohu laughed heartily as he looked at a weak guy lying on the horse's back.
After holding back the reins, Xiaohu reached out and patted this guy on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why are you still alive?"
The man on the horse was startled, looked up at Xiaohu and exclaimed: "How do you know I'm here? Are you a ghost?"
The fat man with his tattered clothes, a haggard face, and a round face looked extremely miserable. Where was the rich-looking businessman from yesterday?
Seeing Xiaohu stop, Shuzi asked Ashina to stop as well, and looked at the two of them quietly. The fat man looked at Xiaohu with a grimace and asked, "Is there a place where I can rest quietly on the way forward? I don't want to rush on the road."
Xiaohu chuckled and said, "If you run faster, you should find a place to stay at night."
The fat man stretched out his hand and said, "Have a drink, I'm going to die."
Xiaohu took out the wine bottle and handed it over. He couldn't help but sigh as he watched this guy take a few sips of it desperately, just like the fish that was about to be dried to death.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It's just that I want to go to Tianshan Mountain. Are you sure you want to come with me?"
The fat man returned the jug to Xiaohu and replied with certainty: "I'll just go with you and find a quiet place to stay for a few years. I don't want to bother anymore."
"Then run faster and tell me your ghost story when you get to the end of the field!"
After Xiaohu finished speaking, he waved to Shuzi and said, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he rode forward and rushed forward. Now was not the time to chat. He had to find a place to spend the night before dark.
…
The four of them raced all the way, with the fat man desperately chasing after Xiaohu, for fear that this guy would throw him into the vast yellow sand.
Until nightfall, we finally arrived at an inn in a small town and settled down.
After washing up and changing into a long gown, the fat man's face was still a little pale. He looked at Xiaohu in front of him, licked his lips and said, "Drink a drink! "
After washing up, Fatty felt the smell of blood still lingering in his mouth. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Now, he just wants to be a quiet monk, hiding in a quiet corner to soothe the wounds on his body alone.
Last night he met his most powerful enemy since his debut, and for the first time he tasted the feeling of being defeated.
The feeling was enough to quiet him down, at least for the time being.
After the two went back to the house to wash up, Xiaohu asked the waiter to bring wine and food to his room. He looked at the fat man and smiled and said: "Drink whatever you want, I'll treat you to it!"
The fat man took a sip of wine and ate two pieces of meat. He felt like he had come to his senses before he stopped.
Looking at Xiaohu, he said: "I am also looking for death. Not long after I separated from you, I met a monk..."
Xiaohu was stunned, and after listening to the fat man's complaints for a long time, he realized that this guy was so stubborn that he provoked a monk who was passing through a small town on his way to the capital.
As a result, he was beaten severely by the monk.
Fortunately, this guy was smart and repeated his old tricks. A bag of lime blinded the monk's eyes, snatched the monk's horse and fled, and finally met him on the road.
Think about it, this guy has been on the road to death, frantically testing the bottom line of others.
"Why did you mess with that monk?"
Xiaohu asked: "You just saved your life from General Zhou, and you backhandedly provoked a passing monk. This is the behavior of a bandit!"
The fat man poured a glass of wine, held it in his hand and smiled bitterly: "That guy just glanced at me, laughed at me for getting fat, and said that my chest was bleeding and I was going to die..."
For a fat man, what he hates most in his life is when others call him fat and curse him to die.
In this way, even if you can't beat him, you have to fight with someone before letting go.
Xiaohu sighed and said quietly: "Do you think your life is too long and you want to bury your bones in the desert?"
Xiaohu leaned on the chair, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "You obviously have no strength, and you are not afraid of death to wander in the desert, you might as well die early."
The fat man thought for a while and asked reluctantly: "How about I go back to Tianshan with you?"
"You think beautifully!"
Xiaohu shook his head and said: "Don't say that I don't have food or drink in my place. I don't even have a place to sleep. Even if I have a place, you won't be welcome."
When he arrived at the small town at the foot of the mountain, Xiaohu had to buy a bunch of food to go back to the mountain.
Because of Asuna, this guy must have never been hungry. How can he care about the fat man who is careless and gets into trouble?
The fat man asked carefully: "Where will you live when you go back?"
"Are you going to the cave?" Xiaohu grinned and said, "After the snow starts, you won't be able to go down the mountain until spring tomorrow, unless you can hibernate like the beasts on the mountain."
The fat man stopped talking after hearing this, picked up the cup and took another sip of wine, sighing: "It's okay, I can just find a place with people to stay."
"That's it, that's easy."
Xiaohu replied calmly: "Then go to Xiheigou. You will practice in that town for ten or eight years. When you become a great monk, you can leave the mountain."
"Xiheigou? What kind of place is that?" Fatty became more energetic and looked at Xiaohu and asked.
"It's a small town at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. You don't have money? I'll hire a guide to take you there tomorrow."
Thinking about it, that place is really nice, just suitable for a fat man to live in seclusion there.
Buying a small yard and practicing quietly for a few years was a good idea... Why didn't I think of it before?
Xiaohu thought about it a lot, but concluded that his mother wanted to go to Tianshan Mountain to see it, and he met his master on Tianshan Mountain, so he later simply hid on it to practice and escape from the world.
The two chatted for a while and decided on the place where the fat man would hide. ???????????????
Xiaohu took out the golden medicine and asked him to apply it on his chest, finally solving the troublesome guy in front of him.
"Tomorrow, we will break up. If we are destined to meet again." Xiaohu sighed and thought to himself, how many days do I have to travel?
While bandaging the wound on his chest, the fat man replied: "God bless me, I can break through to that realm!"
…
If asked which comes first, tomorrow or the accident, Xiaohu would definitely say tomorrow.
But having Fatty as a troublemaker once again refreshed his understanding of tomorrow and accidents.
The four people who got up early ate beef noodles on the roadside, Shuzi and Ashina went to lead the horses, and Xiaohu was about to say goodbye to the fat man.
Outside the door of the noodle shop, stood a skinny monk, holding a Zen staff in one hand and a Buddhist bead in the other. The frost on his face could not hide the anger on his face.
Unexpectedly, when the fat man saw the visitor, he immediately jumped behind Xiaohu with a whoosh, as if Xiaohu was his protector.
Then he screamed: "Ghost..."
Little Tiger felt bad. He didn't know what this guy had done that was so outrageous that the monk chased him all night long.
Is this guy a dog? Is your nose so sharp?
Or are you like Mr., who has already seen the world in this world?
The angry monk ignored the pedestrians coming and going outside the noodle shop, stared at the fat man with an indifferent expression and drank: "You should run away... wait until I take you in!"
“Where do monks come from?”
Looking at the monk standing in front of him, Xiaohu frowned. If this guy came from the grotto outside Yuezhi City, he would want to be a peacemaker.
After all, he and his husband practiced there for a winter, and after his husband left, he went back to spend a lot of time with the fat monk.
For Xiaohu, the grotto is half of his home.
Thinking of the kindness of the fat monk, Xiaohu had no choice but to say: "Do you two have any misunderstandings that I can resolve for you?"
"You can't resolve it, unless you use his head to resolve it!"
The monk paused the Zen staff in his hand and shouted sternly: "I swore no sympathy with this thief. Get out of my way, kid! Don't block my way!"
】
Xiaohu looked at the angry monk in front of him and murmured: "Although I have never become a monk, I have lived with a fat monk. The monk in my memory is not like you."
The expression on the fat man's face changed again and again. He originally thought that Xiaohu was going to abandon him, but he didn't expect that this guy started to reason with the monk.
The monk stepped forward and said coldly: "You want to reason with me?"
