261, [blocked]
After dinner, Fang Chang and Sang Ziping wandered around the market together.
They were planning to buy some things to use on the way to the Western Regions. Because the city is closest to the Western Regions and there are caravans here for many years, they never lack corresponding items.
Sang Ziping walked around and said to Fang Chang:
"Whenever you leave here, you will often bring a large stack of pots, which is delicious and suitable for long-distance travel. The caravans who came back from the Western Regions will bring scones with specialty from the Western Regions, which are also huge in size, roasted and dry, hard, and resistant to storage and hunger."
"At the same time, water is the most important thing when traveling westward through the desert, so you have to hang as many water bags as you can. And because there may be various situations and sandstorms, some water bags of different materials must be prepared to avoid being completely damaged due to accidents."
"In the desert, you can live for a long time without eating. Maybe you can last until you get out, but if you don't drink water, you will soon be unable to survive. No one can meet an oasis. Every year, people who are buried in the desert are the most deficient in water after getting lost."
"Also, the sun in the desert is very vicious, and it's good to put on a hat with a gauze. Some people also wrap themselves with white cloth, leaving only two eyes, which is also good. Because under the scorching sun, it's cooler than without a cover..."
Although Sang Ziping had not gone far before traveling west, he knew all these details.
After all, for the road, the food on the road is far less important than the risks on the road. Moreover, he was short of money before, so he only focused on the situation related to the road.
Fang Chang listened and looked at the stalls on both sides, but didn't buy them much.
They just made a hat with white gauze on their backs and carried it behind them to wear it when entering the Western Regions, so as not to look too different from others, and that would be too silly. Then Sang Ziping bought a few pot-kicks and carried it on his back.
At this time, someone suddenly called them.
"The two heroes stay."
But when they saw their outfits, they knew that the two were about to go west, and the long sword behind Fang Chang made the person who called them think they were knights walking in the world.
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping looked at each other and smiled, turned around and asked:
"What's wrong with this sir?"
The one who called them was a strong and slightly rich businessman, dressed in silk and looked a little wealthy, but he was carrying a cloth bag and should be buying it. He had a short sword tied around his waist, and two guys carrying things behind him were following him.
Seeing the two people reply, the man was very happy and bowed and said:
"Xia Nai is the pot of a caravan named Xi Tong. He has been walking between the Western Regions and here all year round. However, due to some changes, the escort agency that has cooperated all year round has sent much less people."
"I just saw the things I bought from the two heroes and were also preparing to go to the Western Regions? Should I go together? We are very familiar with the geography and customs of the west, and it seems that the two have the skills to take care of each other on the road."
Fang Chang asked with interest:
"We have never had contact with this Xiguotou before. With the observation just now, aren't you afraid that we are evil people?"
Xi Tong continued to salute and said, "After walking in this extremely risky Western Region, you can still distinguish people from the eyes. You can see that the two are definitely not bad people, and they are new to the Western Regions soon." However, he did not say where he saw it, after all, this is the real capital to settle down.
"good."
Fang Chang and Sang Ziping replied slightly, and they agreed.
For them, there is no certain rule for how to walk on the road, and it doesn’t matter if they walk with the caravan.
Seeing that the two agreed, Xi Tong was very happy and bowed and said:
"Our caravan is in Fenglai Inn in the north of the city. The departure time is early the morning after tomorrow. After I go back, I will prepare a room for the two heroes. I will search for it directly in the past two days. When the trip is safely over, the caravan will offer a gift of gold."
So the two sides separated.
Sang Ziping looked at the mat and walked away, and the other party smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we need to buy more things, at least buy a camel, which looks more decent."
So they went back.
Although there is probably food, drinking water and utensils in the caravan, as usual, every traveler in the west will prepare enough supplies to carry with him to prevent the shortage of wind and sand. Since he agreed to go with the caravan, it would be difficult to be independent.
The market was very lively. Anyway, the two of them started to compare and compare.
Just like the real Western Regions customer, carefully check the quality of each company, ask about the price, and bargain.
It's quite interesting to experience this way.
In order to prevent the bargaining experience, Fang Chang even casts spells and temporarily covers up the temperament that makes all wise creatures feel close to each other for a while, just to pick goods like ordinary people. It is said that some practice sects specialize in doing this kind of thing, playing various roles to understand the practice.
Just as he was having a heated chat with a stall owner, Sang Ziping suddenly pulled the corner of his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Chang turned around and told Sang Ziping.
"Look at that."
Sang Ziping reached out and pointed at a distance not far away. Fang Chang looked over, but found that it was the wheat sperm just now.
The wheat spirit seemed to have felt that she had left the terrible practitioner and returned to a safe place and completely relaxed.
He was standing in front of a stall selling marshmallows, looking at the stall owner's action with enthusiasm, watching the snow-white candy silk quilt throw out and then stuck to the small wooden stick.
"Go and take a look."
Maizijin took out two copper plates, took a marshmallow from the stall owner, took a bite of it, turned around and was about to leave, but was blocked by two figures.
After seeing Fang Chang's white clothes, Mai Zi Jing was stunned for a moment and then prepared to run away.
"Don't be afraid, we have no malice." Fang Chang said with a smile.
But the wheat spirit ran a few steps in the other direction before recovering, slowly stopped, turned around stiffly, looked at Fang Chang and Sang Ziping, and then smiled bitterly:
"I don't know what you guys have to do? I'm just a trivial person, it's not worth it..."
"I just see that you are quite extraordinary, and I want to come up and make friends with you?"
“Make friends?”
The marshmallow in the wheat spirit's hand accidentally took off his hand, and before it landed, he picked it up quickly and grabbed it again in his hand, saying with confusion:
"Better than not being embarrassed, I have nothing worth making friends with, right?"
"Of course there is, just because we are a little confused. The sun is too fierce. Why not sit in the teahouse next to you?"
