Millennium drunk

When Lan Zui and the others heard Han Guli's description of this word, they also felt chills. 'Dark Devil's Land' is not a fun place to listen to.A few people are still waiting to ask, Rong Shisan suddenly made a gesture of shaking his hands, and a figure appeared at the door ten seconds later, and the two old women who had gone out before passed through the door opening with a large pot and a stack of earthen bowls in their hands. Place meals separately in front of several people.

The meal is very simple. The pot is filled with hot milky white milk tea with a milky fragrance, with a thin layer of fat floating on it. There is a large earthen bowl on the table with several shriveled naan There are two smaller bowls next to it, one bowl is half vegetables and half meat, and the other bowl is filled with cut fruits.The two old women shyly pointed at the food on the table and said something with a smile.Lan Zui and the others didn't understand, but based on the hand gestures, they guessed that it meant to invite them to dinner.

With the two old women around, Lan Zui and the others couldn't ask any more questions, so they could only silently thank them and drink milk tea and eat naan.While eating, Lan Zui kept paying attention to the expressions of the two old women. They only broke off two naan corners, and glanced at the bowl of meat and vegetables with eager expressions, but they didn't eat at all, and left everything for the guests. .

At this time, the hostility from Lan Zui, Rong Shisan and the others had disappeared without a trace, and during the time they were talking, Xiri Ahong had already moved all the vegetables and water from the carriage to the courtyard room inside.Lan Zui and the others had no reason to stay any longer, fearing that they would arouse the suspicion of other old people if they stayed any longer, they had no choice but to leave.

The old people were very used to the departure of Reyimu and others. They stood smiling and waved at the door, but no one walked out of the yard to see them off.A few files went out of the courtyard gate and walked to the place where the cars were hidden. Looking back, the whole street was full of wind and sand, mixing the courtyard where Hangul and the others lived with other deserted houses, making it almost impossible to distinguish.

The vehicle started, and the desolate town named Wudumu went from big to small, submerged in the sky-high yellow.Lan Zui looked at the indistinguishable yellow patch in the rearview mirror, and suddenly asked: "Except for Han Guli, is there really no long-song poet in Moke?"

"It won't happen anymore. The successor of the Changge poet also needs to be selected. Apart from other things, it is necessary to have a good mind and a good memory. Now that the smart young people are gone to make money, who would like to stay Mork spent more than ten years reciting and singing those long useless poems."

Listening to Reimu's indifferent explanation, Lan Zui suddenly understood Han Guli's uncontrollable joy when he heard that they were interested in long poems, and Han Guli's disappointment when he heard that they only wanted to listen to a section of it. There is reverence and solemnity when Khan Guli recites long poems, as well as a touch of sentimentality.That is the faithful belief that the old man is willing to devote his life to, but it has become penniless among other people who have been impacted by the wave of development outside.

Lan Zui also guessed why these old people would rather live in this isolated and almost deserted town than live in Mok, which has better conditions.Probably in their eyes, Mork has been polluted by the outside world, and only here can they maintain the existence of the ancient Mork in their hearts.

Rong Shisan also tentatively asked Reyimu Karuo Basaqi on the way, but Reyimu frowned and kept silent.Rong Shisan was helpless, thinking that since Han Guli said that Mo Ke was known to many people, it's fine if Reyimu didn't want to say it, and he just went back and asked other people, so he didn't mention it again.

There was no words all the way, and after returning to Moke, Rong Shisan let Yimu and others leave according to the agreement.This trip was uneventful and rewarding, and everyone was in a good mood.As soon as they entered Dawuti's home, they saw Dawuti and his wife making beaded ornaments.Rong Shisanyi sat on the sofa with his buttocks, and took a familiar look around with the finished accessories, while Lan Zui was afraid that Jun Yihuang would not be able to withstand the sun exposure today, so he pulled him back to the room.Bai Suhe sat on the sofa bored for 2 minutes, feeling really exhausted, said hello to Rong Shisan, and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

Rong Shisan threw an ornament similar to an enamel bracelet from his left hand to his right, and then from his right to his left.Dawuti looked at his movements and wanted to stop him, but he didn't dare, so he continued to wear the beads in silence.Rong Shisan threw it a few times and felt bored, so he held the bracelet in his hand and looked at it. This bracelet is the kind of cheap handicraft often sold in scenic spots, with cheap materials and rough workmanship.Rong Shisan shook his bracelet and asked Dawu: "You and your wife usually make this and sell it for money?"

"Ah."

"It doesn't seem like it's going to sell for much."

"There is no way. The soil here in Mok is not good, and the yield of everything planted is low. There are no resources and special products in this place, so we can only make some handicrafts and sell them in Nuuk."

Rong Shisan showed an expression of obvious disbelief, "You can build this house just by selling this?"

Dawuti smiled wryly: "It was built with the savings I saved from working in big cities. You also know the housing prices in those places. After working for more than ten years, it is not enough to pay a down payment for a house, and the pressure is still high. I was desperate afterward." , resigned to be a backpacker everywhere, met my wife in Mork, and decided to settle down here.”

"Oh. The locals seem to hate foreigners, so you dare to stay?"

"It wasn't so serious when I came here. Now... hey, you know how fast the outside world is developing. Many young people from Mok have gone out to make a living, and those who are still here want to guard their hometown. They I feel that the outside world is hell, and the outsiders are devils. I deceived all the young people of Mok, so that Mok became what he is now, so I become more and more hostile to people from outside. You don’t check the information before you come, The reputation of Moke is notoriously bad among travel friends, and almost no one dares to come now."

Rong Shisan touched his nose, they came in such a hurry, they really didn't check these things.Probably this is the reason why Reyimu said that outsiders are not good people, but this is just the inevitable result of the impact of modern culture on traditional backwaters. Is it worth his resentment?

"Dawuti, I heard you say that you have been in Mok for a long time. Let me ask you something."

Dawuti continued to wear his beads casually, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Have you heard of the place Karabasaki?"

Dawu shook his hand, the beads were not steady, and rolled to the ground with clangs.

"You want to go to Karabasaqi? Who told you about this place? Don't go, you'll die!" Dawuti said to Rong Shisan with a rare and serious expression, without picking up the beads rolling everywhere.

Rong Shisan ignored Dawuti's persuasion and continued to ask, "Where is that? Near Mok?"

Dawuti looked at Rong Shisan with twisted eyebrows, made a gesture to tell his wife to leave first, and said after a while: "I don't know where it is, Karuo Basaqi can't be counted as a specific place name, it should be said that it is a piece of land. area. That area is all a quicksand area. The horror of quicksand in the desert is beyond your imagination. I know...you are not ordinary people. You may have other purposes in coming to Mok. I don’t want to ask, but just advise you, don’t go."

Quicksand area?

Rong Shisan's eyebrows also frowned, he never thought that the so-called 'dark devil's land' would be the quicksand area.He has never seen the power of quicksand in the desert, but has only heard about it. Once he sinks into it, it is impossible to escape, and he can only sink into the sand alive and suffocate to death.And if it was a quicksand area, what did it have to do with Xia Ruoqing's body?Could it be that He Lanfu's brother was so angry and bored that he sent Xia Ruoqing's body all the way to Xijiang just to let her be buried in quicksand?

"have you been there?"

"No, everyone who went there is dead." Seeing that Rong Shisan did not listen to the persuasion, Dawuti stopped persuading him, and sighed, "Did you also hear the legend that you came here to hunt for treasure? Don't go there casually." I asked other people. Many family members of Mok died in Karabasaki, and they couldn’t even find their bodies. Karabasaki is now considered a taboo in Mok, thinking that it was Yi The place where Bliss is located is designed to lure and devour those who are not firm in their beliefs. Really, you also believe in such illusory things."

"Treasure hunting?" Rong Shisan grasped one of the key words, "What treasures are there in the quicksand area?"

"Huh? Didn't you hear the legend?" Dawuti asked in amazement. He couldn't help regretting that he had slipped his mouth. An ancient city with countless pearls and gems. Hehe, this is just a legend. I don’t know when it was passed down. And even if there is a city, it’s all sunk in the yellow sand now. I advise you to really Don't think about it."

Rong Shisan didn't answer, leaning on the sofa, meditating silently with his eyes downcast.

"Is there really no one in Mok who knows the exact location of Karabasaki?"

When Dawuti heard this, he sighed weakly again, thought for a while and said helplessly, "I can't say...there is none. As far as I know, there seems to be one."

"Who?"

"Reimu, the one who stayed with you all night last night."

Jun Yihuang was pulled upstairs by Lan Zui, and closed the door.As soon as the door was closed, Lan Zui began to stare at Jun Yihuang for inspection, for fear that the sun would be too hot today and Jun Yihuang would feel uncomfortable.

Jun Yihuang stood and let Lan Zui watch, just when Lan Zui was about to ask, Jun Yihuang suddenly rushed to the front and said, "Lan Zui, don't go."

"what?"

"I said don't go. Today you also saw the reactions of Han Guli and Reimu. That place is not easy."

Lan Zui's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I never thought it would be simple."

"We have been together for two years, can't we live a stable life for two years? Why do you have to go?"

"Yihuang, I thought we had reached a consensus on this point." Lan Zui suddenly lifted up Jun Yihuang's sleeve, exposing the slightly swollen wrist and said, "Two years? Are you lying to me?" Or lie to yourself? Look at He Lanfu's body, can it last for another two years?"
