Poor Ghost Up and Down 2000

But for Gu Nan, this place is still good. She wants to find a place where there are few people to live. After all, she will not grow old. If she lives in an ordinary village, she may be regarded as a ghost after a long time.

Moreover, she doesn't want to live in the pass.

Stepping on the gravel on the ground, the sand was blown a few times by the cold wind from the north and flew away.

Gu Nan raised his head and looked into the distance. There was a desert covered with yellow sand and dust in the distance. Occasionally, one or two dead trees or a ball of dry grass could be seen standing on the side of the road.

The red-yellow color gives people a hot feeling, but the wind blowing is very cold.A lot of sand was rolled up in mid-air and flew, making scattered sounds when it landed on the bamboo hat.

Somewhere farther away, some stone houses can be seen standing there, as well as some figures.It should be a small village, but it looks very conspicuous in a wasteland.

After adjusting the bamboo hat on her head, Gu Nan held Wuge in her arms and walked towards the small village.It is not easy to meet a village in such a place, and she is going to buy some water.

······

"Dingling, Dingling." A man drove a mule past. A bell was hung around the mule's neck, and it swayed as it walked. It was carrying a few bags on its back, and it was unknown what was inside. .

There are not many people in this village. Most of the people on the road are wearing loose robes, even their heads and faces are wrapped in the cloth. It must be that the weather in this place is indeed a bit cold.

Even Gu Nan could feel some coolness while running his internal breath.

The houses on both sides are all made of stones, and the large stones are ground together and sealed with sand to seal the cracks to prevent the wind from blowing in. The houses built in this way will be much stronger than thatch, and there will always be strong winds in the north. , at least it will not be blown away by the strong wind for no reason.

There was a stall by the side of the road, and a few people were sitting there drinking water. The water was boiled and brought out. They had to drink it quickly, or they would not be able to drink it for a long time.

Water vapor filled the stall, Gu Nan put the sword in his hand on the table and sat down, the stall owner came up and said something to her.

It must be a dialect outside the Great Wall, but Gu Nan didn't understand it, the stall owner was stunned for a moment and then asked with some stuttering.

"Guanli people?"

These words were spoken in Shuofang Pass. Although it sounded awkward to Gu Nan, she could still understand and nodded her head: "Yes."

"Ah." The stall owner responded with a clear smile, and the wrinkles on his face squeezed together.

Although he is from outside the Guan, the villages in this boundary are mixed with people from inside the Guan and people from outside the Guan. They are all looking for a living and there is no hostility between them.

"Drink, what do you want to drink?" The stall owner's words were not very good, but he could understand.

Gu Nan glanced at the people at the table next to him, and said to the stall owner, "A bowl of water is enough, and help me fill this bag up."

"Okay, two dollars." The stall owner smiled and stretched out two fingers.

He untied the water bag from his waist and handed it over. At the same time, he took out two copper coins from his arms and handed them to the stall owner.This is almost the last money she has.

The stall owner went down, and Gu Nan sat at the table, idly looking at the streets of the village beside him.

There are many people who exchange things on the streets, probably they got things from the pass, and then transported here to be exchanged for furs, and finally transported back to the pass to buy money.

Gu Nan's eyes casually looked around, and suddenly stopped in one place.

It was a woman, the cloth on her head was untied and hung around her neck, her cheeks were a little reddish from the wind, but her skin was not dry, but white.

The eyebrows are very delicate, with an elegant feeling, and the long black hair hangs behind him.

At this time, she was squatting in front of a woman, feeling her pulse, with a serious expression on her face.

The woman's face was pale, and she coughed a few times from time to time, which should be a symptom of catching a cold.

Doctor? Gu Nan looked carefully at the woman squatting in front of the woman.Her eyes fell on the hand that was holding her pulse, and she listened slightly.

Although she is studying medicine recently, but she doesn't have a reliable teacher, and she doesn't have medical skills, so the progress can be said to be very slow.Thanks to her learning of internal breath, at least she can understand the meridians and acupoints, and she has some foundation, otherwise she should still be in a state of not understanding anything now.

While Gu Nan was listening, the stall owner came up with tea and a water bag that had already been filled.

Gu Nan thanked her and drank the tea when she heard a horseshoe walking on the street, because she listened attentively, but the sound of the horseshoe was very loud in her ears.

The voice was a bit chaotic, probably about three or five people.

Gu Nan frowned slightly, not because of the sound of the horse's hooves, but because under the sound of the horse's hooves, she heard a small and noisy sound in the distance outside the village.

It is not a good sign that there is a group of people rushing towards the village, riding horses and hearing the sound of swords being unsheathed.

The horseshoes of three or five people in the village approached, Gu Nan looked back, and the crowd on the street stepped aside, there were three people in armor.

The armor on his body looked cold in the sun, and the cloak hung down on the horse's back, with folds swaying with the horse's steps, and it was tattooed with patterns that Gu Nan didn't know.

Judging by the attire, they should be from the army, and they are from the Han army. It is rare to see them in this small village outside the Great Wall.

One of them was still wearing the armor of a young general.

The young general looked around at the village, but it was not easy to meet a village outside the Great Wall.

When he left the army, he brought [-] relatives with him, but he didn't bring much supplies, especially water, for the journey.Each of them probably only brought three or four bags. They hadn't seen the Huns' camp for a while, but they had already drank almost all the water.

Since there was a village nearby, he asked the [-] cavalry troops to station in the distance first, so as not to disturb the villagers, and he brought a few people to see if the village could get some water for resupply.

The young general's eyes fell on the tea stand, and he smiled when he saw the water in people's hands, stopped his horse, turned over and jumped off.

The owner of the tea stall saw the man dressed as a military master approaching, and hurriedly greeted him.

He was very discerning, and he could tell at a glance that this should be the army in the pass rubbing his hands, and said nervously: "Jun, general, what's the matter?"

Chapter 254: The plot at this time is usually about the hero saving the beauty

The young general looked around in the tea stand. There were four people working on the tea stand. Two men and an old man seemed to be villagers.

Wearing gray and white clothes, it looks a bit weird like filial piety, with a bamboo hat on his head, drinking tea with his head down, and a black long sword on the side of the table.The appearance of the long sword is also very strange, without a sword, it looks like a slender black stick.

The young general's eyes lingered on the man for a while, but he didn't do anything else, he just looked at the owner of the tea stall again.

"Shopkeeper, how much water do you have?"

"Ah?" The stall owner was taken aback, looked at the young general, and scratched his hair: "Here, how many wells are there in the backyard, how much does the general want?"

The young general fumbled in his pocket, but he didn't find any money for a long time. After all, he was marching outside and didn't bring any money with him.

After thinking about it for a while, he took a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to the owner of the tea stand. The jade was not worth much, but he heard that people outside the pass liked these things, so maybe he could exchange some water.

"Can this be changed, and how much?"

When the owner of the tea stall saw the jade in the young general's hand, his eyes lit up and never dimmed.

Hearing the young general's question, he nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, it can be changed, it can be changed a lot."

The young general nodded, handed the jade in his hand to the stall owner, and waved behind him.
