Chapter 617 Xiashan Town

What happened in the middle of the night can only be regarded as a minor episode. The people in the caravan had no idea what Yang Yiyi and the others had encountered. They thought that the three girls were hysterical because they didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Of course, the three of them would not talk about it everywhere. After all, you mentioned the matter of the water god, so you have to say why he was so respectful, which naturally led to Li Chengxi.

There is no need, there is really no need.

The next morning, just after dawn, the caravan had packed up its things, and soon the gate of the pass slowly opened in the morning sun.

Because they were camped near the pass, they were the first to pass through the pass. It was still a bit deserted now. After a while, there should be a constant stream of merchants passing through the pass.

The gatekeepers who were choking looked lazy, but they were not sloppy at all when they worked. Even if they seemed to be familiar with the caravan, they followed the process in a strict manner.

After confirming the authenticity of the customs clearance documents, they randomly checked the types of goods and finally counted the quantity carefully.

"Soldier, thank you for your trouble. Here are some local specialties to take back and share with the brothers."

"I'm so sorry."

Having said that, the driver just pushed the small bag and accepted it with a smile.

The caravans that often take this route must have a good relationship with the garrison. Even if they will not give you a break, as long as they don't trip you up, the cost is completely worth it.

A group of soldiers joined together and quickly settled the matter of leaving the customs. However, when the officer saw Yang Yiyi and the other two sitting in the carriage, he still asked:

"Those three people look unfamiliar. Where are they from?"

The driver didn't know where Yang Yiyi and the others came from, but after all, they were people Tang Lianyu had sent over, so of course he had to find a way to get through.

"Soldier, you see, that girl has difficulty walking, so she went to southern Xinjiang with us this time to find some good medicine to treat her."

This reason is very convincing, because what attracts these merchants in southern Xinjiang is the rare good medicinal materials in the Central Plains.

The officer was still a little suspicious. After all, if he had difficulty walking, he could just ask someone else to find medicine. There was no need to do it himself.

However, after checking the wanted order and confirming that none of the three were wanted criminals, he was too lazy to ask more questions and waved his hand:

"Go ahead, be careful on the road, there has been some chaos in Southern Xinjiang recently."

"Uh... Army Master, what do you mean?"

"How should I know? I only heard that there seemed to be some unusual movements in several tribes in Southern Xinjiang. The superiors asked us to strengthen our vigilance. You should be more careful when you go out."

After saying that, the officer signaled his subordinates to open the inner door of the pass and let the caravan pass.

Unlike the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang has never formed a real country, but countless tribes of all sizes.

Most of the time, tribes are friendly with each other, because some of the tribes were originally established by people from larger tribes.

But where there are people, there are disputes, and this is also the case in Southern Xinjiang.

If a conflict occurs between tribes and eventually a fight breaks out, the most unlucky ones are the caravans who go there to do business. It can be seen that although this bowl of rice is profitable, it is not so delicious.

The driver thanked the officer for his advice and led the team through the pass.

On the other side of Tanhe Pass, you will see a big river. In the distance, there is thick fog. You can't see the situation on the other side clearly. You can only see the shadows of large mountains.

In southern Xinjiang, there are typical mountains and waters. There is almost no flat land. Once you cross the river, you will really step on the land of southern Xinjiang.

This river is obviously very wide, and there is no bridge on the river.

On the one hand, it is because the current bridge-building technology cannot handle such a wide river surface. On the other hand, the Central Plains is guarding against southern Xinjiang to prevent these people from going north.

It is simple to cross the river. There have been boatmen who have made a living by the river, and there have been a large number of ferries waiting here early.

Drive the carriage onto the boat, fix them all, and follow the boat captain's call. Several boats start together and sail into the thick fog floating on the river.

I don't know if it's because of the weather. The fog is so thick that you can't see your hand in front of you, but the boat captain is not worried about getting lost at all, and he doesn't know how to judge the direction.

After floating on the water for almost a cup of tea, the sun gradually rose and the mist slowly dispersed.

Something like a man-made building appeared in the mist. As the distance got closer, elegant small bamboo buildings appeared in front of us.

This is the first stop in southern Xinjiang, Xiashan Town.

–--——---——

The ferry stopped at the ferry. After Yang Yiyi and the other two got off the boat, they said goodbye to the caravan. They had to ask if anyone had seen Ning Xianer.

Southern Xinjiang produces delicious mountain delicacies, high-quality wood and medicinal materials, and this place is very short of food and metal utensils.

There are special products and demand, which attracts many merchants to do business here.

The formation of Xiashan Town is also related to merchants. It is said that it was a town built by people from the Central Plains, but buildings with the charm of southern Xinjiang can be seen everywhere in the town, and it is obvious that people from southern Xinjiang are on the streets.

The people of southern Xinjiang here have been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains for a long time, and they are relatively friendly to the people of the Central Plains. If you go deeper, you have to analyze the specific situation.

You know, some tribes in southern Xinjiang still maintain the habit of sacrificing living people. They run around like headless flies, and it is not impossible for them to be caught and sacrificed to the sky.

As for the road, where to go is another big problem.

The three people came here purely because Tang Lianyu said that someone saw a group of people from the underworld coming to the southwest ten days ago. No one could tell where they went.

What's more, maybe Ning Xian'er and the others didn't go through the pass, but sneaked through the wilderness, which would make it even more difficult to ask.

Here, the three of them had no connections, so when they arrived in Xiashan Town, the first thing they did was to go to the inn.

In the storytelling, it is always said that the hero got some information from the waiter, and then caused a certain story.

Although this is dramatic, it does make sense.

The waiter of the inn has to receive countless guests from all over the country every day, so he is naturally well-informed.

They found an inn nearby, and the three of them wanted to have breakfast by the way, so they chose a seat in the corner of the lobby on the first floor of the inn.

Because it was early in the morning, there were not many people in the inn. Yang Yiyi was about to call the waiter to come over to order food and ask by the way, when she saw a young man in white coming down the stairs, and he happened to meet Yang Yiyi and the other two.

This person was Jiao Wenlong, who had met Yang Yiyi once at the Young Heroes Club and was even slapped down by Yang Yiyi like a mosquito. (See Chapter 420 for details)

Yang Yiyi had a very deep impression of him. He could fly on the spot by stepping on his left foot and could also stay in the air like a paper airplane. This skill was almost impossible for a martial arts hero to replicate.

Jiao Wenlong also had a very deep impression of Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi. The former was extremely powerful and the latter was extremely musical. Their characteristics were too obvious.

Both parties recognized each other as soon as they met.

"Miss Yang? Miss Wu? How come you are in Southern Xinjiang? And this lady is...?"

Although he recognized her, Jiao Wenlong's head was obviously filled with question marks.
