In the Northwest these days, Xichun and the Northwest girls ran outside when they saw the sky. Because Xichun was beautiful and had delicate things that the Northwest girls didn’t have, I don’t know how many young men confessed to her in public. At the beginning, Xichun would be so embarrassed that her face was flushed, thinking that the people here were too rude. But after many times, this little girl became numb.

So if you don’t jump out to propose marriage with a flat head and a flat face, Xichun will promise to marry, even if you are the second master of the Huo family in the northwest.

Mr. Huo Er's surname is Huo and his name is Erran. When walking outside, when someone looks at his family background, he will also call him "Mr. Huo Er" and "Scholar Huo" if he doesn't look at his family background.

Oh, I asked him to come before, but I was so unlucky that I caught up with the fraud of the imperial examination. Not only did the Juren lose his fame and fortune, I could not participate in the imperial examination for ten years.

This is still light. If it weren't for their innocent involvement, they might have no hope of imperial examinations in their lifetime.

Therefore, it is a blessing that I am unfortunate to be re-examined in the autumn exam ten years later. As for the future of entering the officialdom, it is hard to know.

If we follow the customs of the Central Plains, Huo Xiucai's identity and family background to propose marriage is not considered a high-spirited person. But the premise is that Xichun is really the orphan expressed in the household registration.

According to the customs of the northwest, the best confession is to tap a red-eyed red fox with your own hands, and then carry the fox skin with a good savory fox to propose marriage in front of your beloved girl.

The girl's family agreed to the marriage.

That's right, this is the Northwest.

Mr. Huo Er also has the exotic style of Master Huo and the elegant poetry of scholars. In addition, he lived near Xichun's house in the capital, and he clearly knew a lot about Xichun's preferences. Therefore, among so many young men who pursued him, Mr. Huo Er has an advantage.

Xichun and Huo Laoer were just one layer of window paper. Then Mr. Huo Er was about to go and beat the fox and propose marriage to Xichun.

The red fox in the northwest is a wild bird that is more cunning than an ordinary fox. If you want to fight a red fox with complete fur, you not only need good skills, but also a certain degree of patience and perseverance...

Unfortunately, this person's personality is the kind of person who does not make promises easily. He did not spread the story of himself beating the fox to everyone, but wanted to beat the fox back before saying it.

So on the third day when he set out to fight the fox, Xichun followed Tanchun's caravan back to the capital.

On the way back, Xichun was still a little depressed. However, within a few days, Xichun's mood improved again. After all, this kind of unspeakable ambiguousness is not like the promise that has been made for a lifetime.

This trip to the northwest has gained a lot for Xichun. Recalling every bit of these days, Xichun is preparing to write a travel notation and write down all the food, drink, and experience along the way.

When I picked up the pen, Xichun decided that no matter where I went, I would learn from the travel notes I wrote and passed down through the world.

She can also draw, she will draw out what she sees, hears, eats, and then insert it into her travel notes with the side page. Maybe a hundred years later, later generations can still use her book as a reference.

Look, this was like this a hundred years ago, and this thing was like that.

By the way, I will ask my third sister if she wants to open a bookstore and then publish a book for her?

Hehe, then she must have a better name.

Just call it...Yi Bu'an layman?

Tanchun glanced at Xichun and showed sincere contempt for Xichun's forced word "No" among the lay Buddhist Yi'an.

You can't ruin the law like this even if you ruin people.

You have to be a little face~

(→_→)

However, after watching Xichun entertain herself heartlessly, Tanchun was relieved and lost her good impression of the Huo family.

They come to do business, not to steal the bride, so they hide.

"Four or five months have passed in a flash, and I don't know if there is any news from Feige coming back." Tanchun put up the charcoal basin himself and chatted with Xichun who was biting the pen. "I guess he has gone too far. I would have asked her to help sell some goods back if I had known it." If such a large ship sold some foreign goods back to the capital, it would definitely be a profitable deal.

"It's okay, she doesn't know. I'll come back for the third sister to sell goods." Tanchun never avoided Xichun. Xichun also knew how much money Tanchun could earn after making an incoming trip. "Three sister, will you still leave after returning to the capital?"

Although I asked Tanchun what he said, it was obvious that Xichun wanted to take Tanchun to walk for another time.

Tanchun thought for a while and nodded, "Go to Jiangnan again in Qiuli." He knew that his sister had always wanted to go to Jiangnan. This time, she even went to places like the northwest. I am afraid that Jiangnan would not give up.

Xichun threw the pen and mo aside and walked to Tanchun and sat in front of Tanchun. "I heard from the guide and the manager of the Huo family that we will be able to leave the desert tomorrow. I will have to take a good shower when it leaves the desert. Look."

If there was a wind blowing in the desert, even the tent would be a layer of sand. Xichun sat down and touched it with a finger of fine yellow sand.

"Don't rub your eyes with your hands." Tanchun gave a disregarded reminder, then pinched out a few yams and eggs from the carbon basin with a clip, "Be careful to burn."

Not only are yams and eggs, but also peanuts and chestnuts in the carbon pot, which is particularly fragrant. Every night, the carbon pots in their sisters' tents will be roasted and eaten.

After eating some hot snacks and drinking a bowl of hot tea, the sisters can sleep until dawn.

But today an accident happened.

The two sisters had just eaten their fill and were about to change their clothes and go to bed. A storm suddenly appeared without warning.

The storm was like a rush of mountains and seas, sweeping across the entire area where the caravan was located with the momentum that devoured everything.

The moon is covered, and the yellow sand in the sky seems to be arrogant through the dark night...

It was so sudden that the sisters were stunned for a moment when they heard the shouting outside the tent. Then after the girl and the guard rushed in, they realized that things were going on.

The horses, camels, goods and tents were blown away. Tanchun held Xichun's hand tightly, and there were ropes tied by guards and maids on the waists of the two sisters. Several people lay in an area surrounded by two camels and tied the camels with whips to pray that the storm would pass quickly.

The storm comes quickly and walks... No matter how he walks, it doesn't hesitate, but to the people who have been baptized by the storm, it looks a bit like an old lady walking slowly.

After the storm left, Tanchun and Xichun stood up under the protection of the girl and the guards. The bonfire and charcoal fire were extinguished, or in other words, they could no longer find the wreckage.

Except for the two camels around him and the two cargo boxes above their sisters' heads, nothing was left.

When a storm ended, the horses they brought, camels and the northwest merchants that were preparing to sell back to the capital this time were gone. These are not important, and the ones that Tanchun felt most distressed, which made Tanchun feel distressed to her caravan staff exhausted.

If the goods are gone, they just lose some money. But if the people are gone, how could she explain to their family?

"Sister, don't worry, you may be able to see them when it's dawn." Xichun turned around with the moonlight, and there were very few things that could be seen in his eyes. However, Xichun thought that their sisters could be safe and sound, and those people should be better than their sisters.

The guards on the side nodded seriously after hearing Xichun say this. It was true. Originally, their caravans were all divided into areas when they were resting. Their sisters were here, the escort agency, the managers who sent them, the escorts and guides from the Huo family, and the guards who came out of their shops, and the guards who brought out from their homes were again. Although they were closest to their tent, they were a little distance away.

The storm just now was too big, maybe they were blown by the wind not far away. When it dawn, they looked in the direction of the wind, and maybe they could find someone.

However, what everyone said at this time was that the most important thing they are now is water and guides.

Although I knew yesterday that it was only one day away from the desert, if the journey was fast enough, I could take a hot bath in the town outside the desert tomorrow evening. But if there was no one who knew the way, I would be a little difficult.

Although Tanchun had traveled around the country and made trouble, she had never lost money on her own. The food and clothing were exquisite, and the fewer maids and guards were waiting around her than when she was in Rongguo Mansion. When she was out, she didn't need her to walk ahead to lead the way.

It's like knowing the way... Anyway, she and Xichun don't have that ability.

Turning around and looking at the girls and guards who were still around him... Tanchun lowered his eyes. He should wait until dawn to ask such sharp questions.

She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.

After the guard finished speaking, Tanchun thought that there was a possibility, but if it really didn't work, he would look for someone according to the wind direction.

Tanchun couldn't help laughing when he asked the guard to find something and set up the fire first. When the two sisters sat on the two wooden boxes just now.

The most expensive goods are now sitting under their sisters' butts and touching their clothes. Fortunately, they had not changed clothes and wash up when the storm came, otherwise the silver notes in the clothes would have also flew with the tent.

It was dawn and there was nothing to eat or drink, so I even saved the trouble of washing and changing clothes. The group carried the remaining two boxes of goods onto the camel, and the two sisters sat on the other camel and marched towards the direction that yesterday's storm blew past.

The next journey was an extremely difficult journey. Xichun, who was still thinking about following Tanchun to the south of the Yangtze River last night, gave up in his heart again.

It's better to be at home.

I was hungry, thirsty, and it was uncomfortable to the sun.

But looking at the guards walking on both sides of the camel, Xichun couldn't say a word. After all, it was a very lucky thing that she didn't have to leave by herself.

It was not until the end of the day that their group found the wave of people following. Tanchun's face slowed down a lot after the two waves formed. Although there was no use of food, drink and wait, there were people in their team of people who knew the way.

As long as you can get out of the desert, it is a good thing.

The direction they were walking was strictly calculated from the desert mouth, and it was already a day and a half away. After hearing this news, Tanchun lowered his eyes and made a not too difficult decision.

She asked the people who knew the way to take Xichun and Xichun's maid guards out of the desert first, and then she took the people who stayed here.

He went to Huo's shop for help, and then brought some helpers and food in. She waited for them here. Then he searched for people in the desert for a few days. If he couldn't find them, she would take people away.

However, even if Xichun goes out for help, it will take at least three days and three nights for those people to come in again. If they don’t eat or drink for three days, they will probably not be able to bear it. So Tanchun’s eyes fell on the horse in the team.

Horses are not practical in the desert. Two waves of people have four camels together and one horse. Unloading all the goods here, making people ride four camels out of the desert is the fastest way. As for horses... people have no food or drink, so it is better to kill and eat meat than to leave it.

She heard Huo Yi before, oh, it was mentioned by Master Huo. He encountered a storm in his early years, and he survived by killing horses, eating meat, drinking blood.

Tanchun may be the only descendant except Jia Lian who inherited Duke Rong's decisive decisive decisive decisive decisive destiny. He thought of it and did it. He glanced at the horse and ordered people to kill horses to make rice, and then set off after eating horse meat.

Xichun didn't want to leave alone, Tanchun went there with great intentions and wanted to be a qualified boss. Not only that, Tanchun also ordered Xichun to stay outside after leaving the desert, and never come in again. Calculate the days, if they haven't come back on a certain day, they will invite another group of people in. If they haven't come out for more than a month, they will ask Xichun to go back to the capital.

Go and find Brother Lian and avenge her.

Because she might have been killed by someone who was not dead in the storm. Go to Lian Er and ask him to investigate the truth. You can also help her take care of Xichun and her aunt Huan brother.

OK, the next one is the key point.

...

After eating horse meat and drinking a "drink", Xichun shed two lines of tears at her sister. The tears made two rivers on her face, which were full of yellow sand. It was so embarrassing.

Tanchun patted Xichun on the shoulder and nodded heavily to her.

Xichun also looked back at Tanchun with a serious expression, and then walked to the camel with a solemn face.

Four camels can be eight people.

In addition to Xichun's five masters and servants, there was also a Huo family and a guide hired by their caravan earlier. Later, a guard from Tanchun was brought, and a group of eight people rode on the camel and ran forward without looking back.

Even if you are exhausted, you must go out of the desert to bring rescue soldiers as quickly as possible.

In fact, Xichun understands Tanchun’s thoughts.

If you want a horse to run, you have to eat grass for the horse. Tanchun’s move is for his own conscience, but more so, he wants to buy people’s hearts.
