Chapter 617 Xiashan Town
What happened in the middle of the night can only be regarded as a minor episode. The people in the caravan had no idea what happened to Yang Yiyi and the others, and thought that these three girls were hysterical because they stayed up most of the night.
Of course, the three of them would not go around talking loudly. After all, if you talked about the Water God, then you had to explain why he was so respectful, which naturally led Li Chengqi out.
No need, really no need.
By the time it was dawn the next morning, the caravan had already packed up its things, and soon the gate of the pass slowly opened to the rising sun.
Since they were camping near the pass, they were the first batch to cross the border. It was still a little deserted now. After a while, there would be an endless stream of merchants passing the border.
The gatekeepers at Discount Hatcher looked lazy, but they were not sloppy at all when they were working. Even though they seemed to be familiar with the people in the caravan, they followed the procedures strictly and completely.
The authenticity of the customs clearance documents was confirmed, the types of goods were randomly checked, and finally the quantities were carefully counted.
"Master, you are tired. This is a little souvenir, take it back and share it with your brothers."
"How embarrassing."
Having said that, people just pushed it and accepted the small bag that was stuffed in the handlebar style.
Caravans who often take this route must have a good relationship with the defenders. Even if they won't show mercy to you, as long as they don't stumble you, the cost will be completely worth it.
A group of sergeants joined the battle and quickly settled the matter of leaving the customs. However, when the officer saw Yang Yiyi and three people sitting on the carriage, he still asked: "Those three people looked unfamiliar, where did they come from? of?"
Handlebar Style didn't know where Yang Yiyi and the others came from, but after all, it was Tang Lianyu who came over, so of course they still had to find a way to get past them.
"Master Jun, look, that girl has inconvenient legs and feet. She came with us to southern Xinjiang this time to find some good medicine to treat her."
This reason is very convincing, because what attracts these merchants in southern Xinjiang is the rare and rare medicinal materials in the Central Plains.
The officer was still a little suspicious. After all, if his legs and feet were inconvenient, he could just ask someone else to find the medicine. There was no need to do it himself.
However, after checking the wanted poster, it was confirmed that none of the three were wanted criminals, so I didn’t bother to ask more questions and waved my hand:
"Go, be careful on the road, there's been a bit of chaos in southern Xinjiang recently."
"Um...Master Jun, what do you say?"
"How do I know where to go? I just heard that a few tribes in southern Xinjiang seem to be acting strangely. The superiors have asked us to be more vigilant. You should be more careful when you go out."
After saying that, the officer motioned to his subordinates to open the inner door of the gate and let the caravan pass.
Southern Xinjiang is different from the Central Plains in that it has never formed a real country, but has countless tribes, large and small.
Most of the time tribes are friendly with each other, because some tribes were founded by people who branched off from larger tribes.
But wherever there are people, there will be disputes, and this is the same in southern Xinjiang.
If there is a conflict between tribes and eventually a fight breaks out, the most unlucky ones will be the caravans doing business. It can be seen that although this bowl of rice is highly profitable, it is not that delicious.
Handlebar Style thanked the officer for his advice and led the team through the pass.
On the other side of Tanheguan, you will see a big river, and further away there is thick fog. You can't see the situation on the other side clearly. You can only see the shadow of a large mountain.
Southern Xinjiang is a typical place where mountains are connected to mountains and water is connected to water. There is almost no flat land. As long as you cross the river, you are really stepping on the land of Southern Xinjiang.
The river is obviously very wide and there is no bridge across it.
On the one hand, it is because the current bridge-building technology cannot handle such a wide river, and on the other hand, the Central Plains is guarding southern Xinjiang to prevent these people from going north. It's easy to cross the river. There are boatmen who eat this kind of rice along the river, and there are also a large number of ferries waiting here.
The carriages were caught on the boat and all were fixed. Following the captain's call, several boats set off together and sailed into the thick fog floating on the river.
I don't know if it was due to the weather, but the fog was so thick that I could hardly see my fingers, but the boss of the boat was not worried about getting lost and didn't know how to judge the direction.
It took as long as a cup of tea to float on the water. At this time, the sun gradually rose and the water mist slowly dispersed.
Something like a man-made building appeared in the mist. As the distance got closer, elegant small bamboo buildings appeared in front of them.
This is the first stop in southern Xinjiang, Xiashan Town.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The ferry stopped at the ferry. Yang Yiyi and the others said goodbye to the caravan after they disembarked. They had to first ask if anyone had seen Ning Xianer.
Southern Xinjiang produces delicious mountain delicacies, as well as high-quality wood and medicinal materials. Moreover, this place is very short of food and metal utensils.
There are special products and demand, which attracts many merchants to come here to do business.
The formation of Xiashan Town is also related to merchants. It is said to be a town established by people from the Central Plains. However, you can see buildings with southern Xinjiang style everywhere in the town, and it is obvious that people from southern Xinjiang are on the streets.
The southern Xinjiang people here have been influenced by the Central Plains culture for a long time, and they are relatively friendly to the Central Plains people. But if you go deeper, you have to analyze the specific situation.
You know, some tribes in southern Xinjiang still maintain the habit of human sacrifice, running around like headless flies, and it is not impossible for them to be caught and sacrificed to heaven.
And speaking of roads, where to go is another big question.
The three of them came together simply because Tang Lianyu said that someone saw a group of Jianghu people coming to the southwest ten days ago. No one could tell where exactly they went.
What's more, maybe Ning Xian'er and the others did not go through the pass, but sneaked across the barren mountains directly, which would make it even more difficult to ask.
The three of them had no connections here, so when they came to Xiashan Town, the first thing they did was run to the inn.
Comments always say that the hero got some information from the waiter, which then led to such and such a story.
Although this is dramatic, it does have some truth to it.
The waiter of the inn has to receive countless guests from all over the world every day, so he is naturally very well-informed.
They found an inn nearby, and the three of them wanted to have breakfast, so they chose a seat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
Since it was early in the morning and there was no one in the inn, Yang Yiyi was about to ask the waiter to come over to order food and ask questions. At this time, he saw a young man in white coming down the stairs, and he happened to look at Yang Yiyi and the three of them.
This person was Jiao Wenlong, whom Yang Yiyi had once met once in the Young Heroes Association, and was even swatted down by Yang Yiyi like a mosquito. (See Chapter 420 for details)
Yang Yiyi had a deep impression on him. He stepped on his left foot and right foot to fly on the spot, and he could also stay in the air like a paper airplane. This light skill was something that almost no knight-errant could replicate.
And Jiao Wenlong was also very impressed by Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi. The former was extremely powerful and the latter had an unparalleled melody. Their characteristics were too obvious.
The two parties recognized each other as soon as they met.
"Nvxia Yang? Wuxia Wuxia? Why are you in southern Xinjiang? Who is this female hero...?"
He recognized it, but it was as if a row of question marks had popped up on Jiao Wenlong's head.
