Jin'an took the lead in pushing the door and walked into the village gate. He felt that the three camels behind him did not follow.

He turned around and saw that the three camels were standing still.

Old Sadiq,

Xiao Sahafu,

Yilihamu,

Everyone looked at a plaque above the village gate in horror.

"how?"

“What is written on it?”

Jin'an looked up at the plaque, but unfortunately he was all Western languages ​​that he didn't know.

"Jin, Master Jin'an... There is something here, it's a bit weird..." Old Sadik's face was sad and his voice was trembling.

"The words on the top are... laugh! Corpse! Village!"

Um?

Jin An was surprised and stunned: "Xiaozizhuang?"

Just as Jin'an read these three words, footsteps and door openings came from the village. An old man with white hair and thin hair with a little uneven legs and feet walked out of a room with a torch in his hand.

The tall and thin old man noticed the village gate being pushed open. Before he could get close, he saw Jin'an standing outside the village gate.

The tall and thin old man walked over with enthusiasm and helped open the door. The other party spoke in Western languages, not Chinese. Although he couldn't understand his words, his enthusiastic expression should be hospitality, and he would like to welcome the village.

The night in the desert was very dark. It was not until I stood close to the torch light that I finally saw the true appearance of the tall and thin old man.

The tall and thin old man is very old. He looks like he is in his seventies. His face and hands are covered with old man spots, and he is clean and neatly wearing a set of leather armor.

But the leather armor was obviously not suitable for him, so he was a little wide-fitting. Moreover, the leather armor was very old and faded. You can even see traces of sewing in many places. The overall impression was that it was broken and dirty, probably older than Grandpa Jin'an.

Even the cortical scabbard around the waist was ragged, and even the back of the knife was exposed.

Veterans in the desert?

Looking at this strange outfit, Jin An's eyes were thoughtful.

"The words and tone of Master Jin'an are so strange. Although I can understand what I am talking about in Western dialect, I can only understand about 30 or 40% of the meaning." Old Sadiq said in surprise, even he couldn't translate the meaning.

Xiao Sahafu also nodded and agreed.

Ilihamu was knowledgeable and said to Jin'an: "This man is a bit strange. What he said is one of the ancient languages. This ancient language was popular hundreds of years ago and has changed from many grammatical orders today... I can probably understand about 700% or 80%."

"He called us guests from afar, and then asked if we were also disoriented in the desert because of the sudden storm during the day, and then found it?"

"Master Jin'an is careful. This person is a little too enthusiastic. He took the initiative to invite us to spend the night in Xiaozizhuang... I don't know why I always think this Xiaozizhuang is not simple."

The conversation between Old Sadik and Ilihamu fell into the ears of outsiders, but it was actually the camel's um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, outsiders, um, um, um, um, outsiders, um, outsiders, um, outsiders, um, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, outsiders, insiders, outsiders, insiders, outsiders, insiders, outsiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, outsiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders, insiders,

Ilihamu said so much in one breath, others will only think that this camel is active by nature and will not think about it anywhere else.

Seeing that Jin An in front of him had not responded, Ilihamu immediately understood what Jin An mean and continued: "I will help Master Jin An translate, and then reverse the translation, Master Jin An will reply to the other party. It may be difficult to remember too long sentences, so I will try to answer the strange old man in a short sentence."

"If you want to leave, you shake your head if you want to continue entering this Xiaozizhuang Village, then nod your head."

Jin An nodded.

Yilihamu said: "I'm disturbed, in ancient Western languages, it's..."

Next, Jin'an had a brief conversation with the tall and thin old man who opened the door. The tall and thin old man looked at Jin'an not only able to understand his words but also answered in a flash, with a look of surprise.

"The Taoist priest is the Han priest from Kangding Kingdom? I didn't expect that you are still proficient in the words of our desert people, which surprised Pasha." This time, the tall and thin old man spoke Chinese and claimed to be Pasha.

"The old man is so polite. I didn't expect that the old man also understood the language of the Chinese people." Jin An said in surprise, with no flaws on his expression on his face.

When he was young, he met all kinds of monsters and monsters with the caravan. He looked at the tall and thin old man with fear and reminded Jin An: "There is indeed a big problem here. This bad-hearted old man was deliberately testing you just now. Thanks to Irihamu in our team."

Yilihamu was a little embarrassed to be praised: "Old brother praised it."

Old Sadik looked like the elder brother was covering his little brother's tone and said to Ilihamu: "Brother Ilihamu, you don't have to be too modest. Good is good, bad is bad, I'll be optimistic about you, brother."

Ilihamu looked at Old Sadik in a touching manner.

If Old Sadik knew Ilihamu's true identity, I just don't know if he could still pretend to be so calm and composed.

At this time, the tall and thin old man Pasha pushed open the gate of the village bigger, leaving a larger gap for Jin'an to lead a sheep and three camels into the village.

"I heard what the old man said just now. Tonight, more than just us are lost in the wind and sand?" Jin An led the sheep and camel into the village. The tall and thin old man did not answer immediately, but turned around and went to close the village gate first.

  Dong.

As the village gate closed, the torch flames became smaller, as if the entire village had darkened a little. The torch flames quickly returned to normal, and the village also returned to normal.

At this time, the tall and thin old man smiled even more strongly and led Jin'an into the village. He walked ahead and said, "It's better to observe carefully. There are indeed three lost people tonight. Taoist priest, you are the third wave of people."

The two of them chatted while walking.

"Old sir, are you the only one in this village?"

"No, there are twelve old guys who are half-tied like me and have buried them in the sand. Some of them are helping to slaughter camels in the kitchen, some are burning firewood, some are responsible for roasting camel meat, and some are greeting guests in the front hall. The desert has not been so lively for many years, and there are guests from afar, so they must take out good wine and meat to entertain distinguished guests from afar."

"Why is this village called Xiaozizhuang?" Jin An said, staring at the back of the tall and thin old man who was leading the way without blinking, trying to see if there was anything abnormal on the other party.

However, the other party didn't even pause for a moment, and said in a natural tone: "The soul returns to his hometown, and the fallen leaves return to his roots. Behind each comrade-in-arms, there is an Apata waiting for him to return home. I hope that the comrades can smile when they dream about the goat milk wine and baking hot naan in their hometown in their sleep... Taoist priest, is this wish right or wrong?"

The tall and thin old man suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Jin'an with a smile.

Under the swaying fire of the torch, the layers of wrinkled gullies on the old man's face were illuminated and dark, making him look yin and erect.

Jin'an looked as normal as he was at the tall and thin old man's sudden turn, and he was not scared. He nodded casually and kept looking at the entire village environment.

The tall and thin old man seemed not to see Jin An's perfunctory answer, nor did he ask Jin An whether he was right or wrong. He turned around and led the way: "The king promised us that he would not leave everyone behind. We are just guarding here temporarily. He will come back to take each of us away, so he named Xiaosizhuang."

"Master, you are from outside. Do you know if there is any news about the Black Rain Country?"

The tall and thin old man walked in front of him with a torch in his hand, his tone was plain and natural, and he did not look back.

I don’t know if it was because of the light, but the shadows falling on the ground seemed a little distorted, as if they were swaying toward Jin'an behind him.

Veterans who stayed in the desert in the Black Rain Country!

The three camels following Jin'an almost bit off their tongue.

My heart was terrified.

The next moment, the three camels subconsciously looked at Jin'an's back, wondering how Jin'an would answer the other party's question. If they said that the Black Rain Kingdom had been in danger for hundreds of years, would they not be able to stand the blow and go crazy on the spot?

Just as they were thinking about what Jin'an would answer, they knocked, and there was a sudden knock on the door under the quiet night, breaking the calmness of the night.

"Hey, why are so many people getting lost today?"

The tall and thin old man seemed to have a worse memory as he got older. He had forgotten his previous problem and looked at Jin'an apologetically: "Master, the two houses in front of him are the front hall where we greet guests tonight. You go there yourself first. The old man Xikaierti will take the initiative to entertain you. I will open the door for the new guests first. Your horses and camels can be tied outside the front hall door. Old man Xikaierti will help you take good care of them."

Jin An smiled warmly as usual: "You don't have to be so polite, you can do it first, I'll go to the front hall myself."

Watching the back of the tall and thin old man hurried to the village gate, Jin An's eyes flashed with thoughts, and then continued to walk towards the building with candlelight in front of him.

The three old Sadik, who followed him immediately, said in fear: "Master Jin'an... the old man named Pasha, is it a living person or a devil disguised as a human..."

"... The king of the Black Rain Kingdom brought people into the depths of the desert to find the Immortal Kingdom... It was a few hundred years ago. How could it be that the survivors were still in the depths of the desert!"

Jin An whispered in contemplation: "This is exactly what I am curious about. He is indeed a living person, not a dead person in the mortal farm."

The three of them were dumbfounded.

Could it be that the Immortal Kingdom, which the king of the Black Rain Kingdom spent so much manpower, material resources and financial resources, was finally found by several veterans who were forgotten in the depths of the desert? And the medicine for immortality was also found?

There are too many secrets hidden in this Xiaozi Village, and even Jin An began to wonder what the truth behind this Xiaozi Village.

The closer you are to the front hall, the more fragrant a barbecue smell will come.

At first I didn’t think anything, I just thought the barbecue was so fragrant that it made people unable to help but move their index fingers.

As I smelled it for a long time, the aroma of this barbecue seemed to be addictive, and it began to make my mouth dry. No matter how much saliva was secreted in my mouth, I still felt dry mouth dry, and my throat kept sliding.

Later, I started to feel hungry unconsciously.

The more you suppress your desires, the more hungry you will be.

I couldn't help but want to eat those barbecue.

It seems that the aroma of barbecue floating in the air can arouse people's most primitive greed and desire.

This feeling of hunger becomes stronger as it gets closer to the front hall, like a stomach full of greed, which makes the stomach hurt.

When Jin'an came to the house, he found that the old Sadik, Xiao Sahafu, and Ilihamu, who had been following him, had unconsciously chewed on the ropes that were holding them.

In such a short time, the rope was almost cut off by them.

They have hunger and rationality in their eyes, and they are swaying from side to side between primitive desires and rationality.

They still have rationality now, just eating ropes.

If you really sink into desire in the end, you may have to eat the camels around you.

When he saw the stupid sheep chewing his Taoist robe, Jin An directly gave the stupid sheep a big iron fist and beat the stupid sheep to wake up.

This extremely fragrant barbecue aroma cannot be simply resisted. Jin An took out a few imperially-signed Huang Fuzhen from his body and used the power of the gods to resist the temptation of hunger brought by the barbecue aroma and restore the Qingming Festival.
