Mr. Dai's face only changed for a moment, but both Chu Hanting and Jiang Lianyang could see it clearly.This man must know something, but for some reason would not tell them.The two of them looked at each other, and then Jiang Lianyang smiled and sighed: "That's really a pity. I also said that I stumbled into this place by mistake. I must be destined to see it. You don't know. , this Xidai Dian has been said to be miraculous in the story books in recent years, it is also a fairy mountain and a secret place, if I can take a look at it, it will be enough for me to brag about it for a lifetime."

Mr. Dai shook his head in disapproval: "How can the words in the storybook be taken seriously? There are also Lingxiao Palace and eighteen floors of hell in the storybook. Who would dare to really go and see them?"

Jiang Lianyang laughed, thinking that the matter was over.The story of Xi Dai Dian, Mr. Dai kept a secret, but others may not be willing to tell it.His overly cautious attitude only makes people feel that he is trying to cover up.

Mr. Dai was so excited that he wanted to keep them for dinner, so Sha Lan and her father killed a sheep together.The lamb was roasted until it was tender and fragrant, and Sha Lan immediately sliced ​​a plate for them to accompany their wine.In the village on the edge of the desert, everything is very simple. Mr. Dai held a cup made of stone and said bluntly: "I don't have anything good to entertain you, it's really neglectful. A glass of thin wine is not a respect."

Chu Hanting smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Mr. is too polite."

It was rare for Sha Lan to see Mr. Dai in high spirits, and she herself felt happy accordingly.After drinking for three rounds, Mr. Dai was slightly drunk, and poured wine for the guests courteously.The jug of wine was exhausted, and Mr. Dai said to Sha Lan with some dissatisfaction: "Why are we so stingy? There are distinguished guests at home, so don't you care about enough wine?"

Maybe it was "we", maybe it was "family", and she succeeded in pleasing Sha Lan. She didn't feel offended at all, but stood up happily and said, "Wait, I'll take a leg of lamb and go to the neighbor next door. Eminem for another altar."

As soon as she went out, Mr. Dai's eyes immediately became clear.He had been watching Sha Lan's back disappearing beyond the courtyard wall, and suddenly dipped his finger in the wine in the glass, and wrote a few big characters on the table: "Get me out."

As he wrote, the traces of water evaporated little by little, leaving nothing behind.

When Sha Lan came back with a jar of wine, Mr. Dai was completely drunk.His cheeks were flushed, and he was talking to the guests with his tongue out: "...Isn't it Xidai Peak, I, I will take you there!"

Sha Lan hurriedly walked up to Mr. Dai, supported his body that could not keep sliding, and said angrily, "Oh, why have I only been away for a while and drank so much!" Then she apologized to Jiang Chu The two said: "I'm sorry, Mr. is really drunk. No one has ever seen Xidai Peak, so don't take his nonsense seriously."

Both Chu Hanting and Jiang Lianyang waved their hands again and again, expressing how they couldn't take drunken words seriously; they stayed at Sha Lan's house that night.

In the days to come, they were really like businessmen. They hired a villager as a guide during the day, took them around, and occasionally traded a lot of sheepskin and wolf tooth gemstones, and even bought a few camels; Mr. Dai told anecdotes about the day.They had their own code words for conversation, and Shalan was always there, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

A month has passed, and Mr. Dai has made an appointment with them on the day and time of departure.On the third day of October, the villagers will sacrifice to the Eagle God, and Sha Lan will naturally be there.Because Mr. Dai is a foreigner, he never had to show up on such occasions, so he made an appointment with Jiang Lianyang to leave at that time.

Seeing Mr. Dai's pale face becoming more and more lively day by day, the smile on Sha Lan's face also grew more and more.On the day before their departure, the three men talked by candlelight as usual, but Shalan interrupted them for the first time.She opened the door without even saying hello, came straight to Mr. Dai, and sat down on the mat: "Tomorrow is the Eagle God Festival."

Mr. Dai's hand trembled, and then he smiled slightly; "Yes."

Sha Lan said bluntly: "After the Eagle God Festival is over, let's get married."

She blushed all over her face, and lowered her head shyly: "I, I have your child."

The stone cup in Mr. Dai's hand fell to the ground with a blunt sound.He was so stunned that he couldn't even speak: "How, how is it possible! You... I... No, when are you?"

Sha Lan smiled shyly: "That's when you got drunk..."

There is no need to say the rest, Mr. Dai already understands everything.

Chu Hanting and Jiang Lianyang felt very embarrassed to overhear such a private housework.Jiang Lianyang hurriedly got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, we walked a lot during the day today, and I'm a little tired, so don't bother me."

Mr. Dai, who was absent-minded at first, immediately got up and saw them off. When he arrived at the door, a loud voice said to them: "Then I won't keep you any longer. Remember to come back tomorrow."

Chu Hanting gave him a strange look, and finally nodded.

At night, Chu Hanting and Jiang Lianyang couldn't sleep, and chatted about the day's affairs.Chu Hanting said: "This Mr. Dai is also very ruthless. No matter what hidden secrets he has, it is always wrong to abandon his wife and children. Lianyang, why don't we take him away?"

Jiang Lianyang looked further than him. He put his arms around Chu Hanting's shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I knew that you would feel sorry for that little lady. But even if you leave without the surname Dai, wouldn't he beg the second, The third merchant? Sha Lan’s first child won’t be able to keep him, so can he still count on the next one? What’s more, wouldn’t she be even more pitiful if the surname Dai left at that time?”

Chu Hanting felt that what Jiang Lianyang said made sense, so he nodded silently.

Jiang Lianyang laughed lowly, and said: "You have the leisure time to worry about sentient beings, why don't you think about whether that surnamed Dai has deceived us; if we really reach the peak of Xidai, what should we do?"

Chu Hanting also felt that he was bothering others, so he laughed at himself and stopped thinking about it.He followed Jiang Lianyang's words and asked: "But if Mr. Dai really lied to us just to leave here, what should we do?"

Jiang Lianyang gave a smirk: "What do you want? Could it be that the majestic Tianji Mountain can really make it difficult for a mortal who has no power to restrain a chicken? Let's send him back properly—anyway, everyone in the village will Knowing that he is a villain who abandoned his wife and children, would Sha Lan still want to marry him?"
