" You can ignore some people," Hu Tiehua sneered." Even if they're angry, they can't do anything to you. But I'm not that kind of person. If I get angry…"
Suddenly, a head popped out from the carriage and looked at him with a faint smile.""You don't have to be angry. He hates that he can't hear you. He's deaf.”
Hu Tiehua almost rolled off his horse as he shouted,""Ji Bingyan, it's you! You damn rooster, what are you up to?”
It was really Ji Bingyan in the carriage.
He stretched out his hand from the window and made a hand gesture. The group immediately stopped. Then, he pushed open the door and slowly got out of the carriage.
Hu Tiehua was about to go crazy with anger. He roared,"Isn't your leg broken? How can you walk now?"
Ji Bingyan didn't seem to hear him at all, and only went up to Chu Liuxiang who had just walked over. Chu Liuxiang also dismounted and came over.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Ji Bingyan said,"I'm here."
"Very good," Chu Liuxiang said.
"I came a little late because I was preparing to exit seclusion.”
Chu Liuxiang glanced at the team and smiled,""You've prepared too much."
"More is better than not enough."”
Chu Liuxiang said,"You have more experience than me. I will listen to you."”
"You can rest in the car too. I'll let you inspect the equipment tomorrow morning, okay?"”
"Alright," Chu Liuxiang said.
The two of them did not mention anything about the "broken leg", let alone Bing. It was as if none of this had happened.
Hu Tiehua's face had already turned green with anger. He could not help but rush over.
"There's wine in the carriage. If you're not drunk, drink a few more cups!"”
Hu Tiehua stared at him for a long time before finally laughing out loud."Good! Although you tricked me, I'm not a good friend to you. We're even now. After we get on the car, I'll toast you three times.”
When they got on the carriage, Hu Tiehua finally understood why Ji Bingyan had made the carriage look like a coffin. It was because this way, the space inside the carriage would be bigger.
This was no longer like a carriage, but more like a house.
There was a large and comfortable couch, a few brocade cushions, and a table in the carriage. Everything had obviously been carefully arranged, so although there were many things, it did not seem very crowded.
"Where's the wine?" Hu Tiehua was about to ask.”
Ji Bingyan had already stretched out her hand and pressed on the side of the bed. A drawer popped out from under the brocade bed. There were six shiny silver cups in the drawer, as well as ten square bottles made of silver.
"There are ten types of wine here, from Mao Tai." Big Face. Bamboo Leaf Green, there is goat milk wine outside the pass. Although the bottle is not big, it can hold three catties and twelve taels. What do you want to drink? Speak!"
Hu Tiehua stared at the drawer in a daze. After a while, he sighed,"With a flick of his hand, all kinds of wine will be served. This is the dream of every drunkard. No wonder people want to be rich.”
After the three of them drank two glasses of wine, Hu Tiehua could not help but say," If there were shrimps from Jiangbei and Jinhua ham feet to go with the wine, this place would be like heaven. Unfortunately…"
Before he could finish, another drawer popped out from under the brocade mat. There were not only big shrimps from Jiangbei, ham from Jinhua, but also Fuzhou fish. Fuzhou Roast Goose. Sea bugs of the Sea of Haining. Pork bones without tin. The plum blossom bear paw of Changbai Mountain…In short, as long as you can think of the best dish to go with wine, this drawer has it.
"You're playing tricks!" Hu Tiehua shouted.”
Ji Bingyan said indifferently," People have to enjoy life, especially those who have suffered too much. There was once when I was so hungry that I wanted to chop off my own hands to eat. So now, no matter where I am, I have to fill it with food first. Even under the bed I sleep in, there is wine and meat.”
Hu Tiehua wanted to laugh when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, not only did he no longer find these words funny, he even wanted to cry.
These few words were filled with bitterness. When a person was so afraid of hunger, the hardship and misery he had suffered in the past was probably unimaginable! Hu Tiehua was silent for a long time before drinking the third cup of wine. He looked up and sighed,"Maybe I shouldn't have forced you to come.”
"You didn't force me. If I really didn't want to come, no one could force me." Ji Bingyan said coldly.”
Hu Tiehua smiled bitterly and suddenly asked,"Where are the two ladies? Why didn't he invite them for a drink?”
"They've already gone back."”
Hu Tiehua said," Why are you in such a hurry to chase them back? Chu Liuxiang and I are very sensible people. We will find an opportunity for you to say goodbye to them."”
Ji Bingyan said indifferently," There's no time to say goodbye now. From now on, we'll be heading straight for the Great Gobi Desert. From now on, this carriage will never stop for more than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Moreover, it will stop at most three times a day. I believe that with our current endurance, we can already strictly control our defecation and defecation.”
"Can't I even get out of the car and take a walk?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"Absolutely not," said Ji Bingyan.”
"Why?" Hu Tiehua asked.
"Although we don't know if the other party has already set up hidden cards in all the roads to investigate Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts, we must be wary of this move of his."”
"But that's not necessary," Hu Tiehua said.”
"If we want to succeed, we have to take every possibility into consideration. Since the other party dared to provoke Chu Liuxiang, he definitely isn't an ordinary person.”
"Are we already ordinary people?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
Ji Bingyan said," I've said it before. These people who grew up in the desert have been tempered by the desert to be more patient than camels, more shrewd than foxes, and more ruthless than wolves. However, in the desert, we are as weak as a rabbit.”
"Aren't you trying to boost the morale of others and diminish your own prestige?" Hu Tiehua laughed.”
Ji Bingyan said," This is because I don't want to die in the desert. Let the eagles peck at my body and let the wolves gnaw at my bones. My life is still very interesting."”
"But I still think…" Hu Tiehua said.
"I don't want to know what you mean. I only want to know that since you all wanted me to come, are you all willing to listen to me?" Ji Bingyan sneered.”
Chu Liuxiang had been listening the whole time. She smiled and said,""You were able to bring out so much wealth from the desert alive. What you said must be reasonable. If it is reasonable, I am always willing to accept it.”
"What about you?" Ji Bingyan glared at Hu Tiehua.”
Hu Tiehua sighed and smiled bitterly."I can only say that I shouldn't have forced you to come. Since you're already here, what else can I do?”
"Alright!" Ji Bingyan said.
He suddenly took all the food and wine from the table and pressed it down. The table turned over and a detailed map was carved on the back.
Ji Bingyan dipped her chopsticks into the wine and drew a line on the map."We shouldn't have come out of seclusion from here, but because you don't know the way and have already come to this place, we can only walk along this path.”
"Is this the Yellow River?" Chu Liuxiang asked.”
Ji Bingyan said," That's right. This is the upper reaches of the Yellow River. We can follow the river all the way to Silver Stream. I know that the former power of Zhamuhe has never been to the south of the Yin Mountains. So, we don't have to hope to get any clues about them on this road, but we must guard against their eyes and ears.”
Chu Liuxiang and Hu Tiehua did not interrupt him.
Ji Bingyan continued," So, when we arrive at Old Dragon Bay tomorrow, you have to leave the horse there. I have a partner there too, so you can rest assured."”
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but say,"I must bring this horse with me."”
"No!" Ji Bingyan said.
"Why?" Chu Liuxiang asked.
Ji Bingyan said," Not only is this horse too ostentatious and eye-catching, but it also originally belonged to the other party. If we bring this horse away, it's no different from bringing along a signboard. We absolutely can't take this risk.”
Chu Liuxiang thought about it and didn't say anything else.
"You have to know that the other party is not only waiting for fatigue in the dark, but also taking advantage of the timing.
The geographical advantage. If we want to win, we can only surprise him with a surprise attack. Therefore, before we find his whereabouts, we must not let him discover our whereabouts. Otherwise, if he uses the geographical advantage of the desert to attack us secretly, we will die without a burial place.”
Chu Liuxiang was silent for a long time before she sighed,""I didn't think so much, I…"
Ji Bingyan said word by word," You have to remember, the other party knows that he can't kill you in other places, so he lured you into the desert. Since he lured you into the desert, it's naturally because he has the confidence to kill you in the desert. This is the toughest battle of your life, so how can you not think about it?”
"But there are some things you can't think too much about." Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly.”
Ji Bingyan drank a cup of wine and said, "Let's not think about anything now. Let's sleep first. Even if we can't sleep, we have to force ourselves to sleep because we can't waste our energy now.”
The brocade couch was very big. The three of them fell asleep.
Hu Tiehua held a wine glass in his hand and suddenly smiled." No matter what, the three of us are finally sleeping together again, just like we did more than ten years ago…Sigh, those sweet and beautiful old days.”Ji Bingyan said coldly," Those days weren't that good. At that time, we drank sour wine and lay on the wet and cold grass. Now, we have a soft and warm bed.”
Hu Tiehua sighed and shook his head." The past is always beautiful. It's just a pity that you will never understand this kind of thing. It's because you don't understand romance, and you're too realistic and snobbish. You only know…"
He suddenly stopped because he realized that Ji Bingyan had already fallen asleep.
They arrived at Old Dragon Bay at dusk the next day.
In one of Ji Bingyan's farms, Chu Liuxiang waited for the horse to get off. He suddenly felt that he was also somewhat reluctant to part with this horse. He couldn't help but mutter with a bitter smile,"Perhaps I am indeed old, so my heart has become softer.”
The horse was also neighing softly.
Chu Liuxiang caressed the smooth back of her horse and smiled."You can't bear to part with me either, right? Are you afraid that I'll never come back?”
Hu Tiehua seemed to be very excited. He was inspecting the camels and carriages with Ji Bingyan. He wanted to see and ask about everything.
He now knew that the deaf and mute man was called "Shi Tuo", but he could not figure out how a person's skin could become like this.
He now knew that the young man who drove the carriage was called " Xiao Pan." Xiao Pan was no longer a young man. He was at least in his thirties, but he had a baby face. He smiled before he spoke, and he continued to smile after he finished speaking. No one could lose their temper with him.
The more Hu Tiehua watched, the more interested he became. He could not help but ask,"Little Pan, are you thirty-five this year?”
"To tell you the truth, I'll be forty-three in a month," said Little Pan with a smile.”
"Forty-three years old, I can't tell…" Hu Tiehua laughed. You should be happy that someone in your forties is called "Little Pan".”
Little Pan smiled." Even if I live to be 80, I'll still be called 'Little' Pan. But this isn't something to show off. It's simply embarrassing."”
"Since Ji Bingyan brought you here, you must have some special abilities. What abilities do you have?" Hu Tiehua stared at him and smiled. Can you show me your skills?"
Little Pan smiled and said," The ability of a lowly person is that he doesn't know anything. He doesn't know anything. It's not easy for a person to live until he's over forty and still have no ability at all. Don't you think so?”
"You must be quite capable to be able to say that," Hu Tiehua laughed loudly.”
After a long time, he realized that not only could Little Pan speak human language, but he also had a special ability.
The north and south of the Yangtze River, the two banks of the great river, the south of the Five Ridges in Fujian, Guizhou, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Hubei-no matter what kind of language it was, he could speak it fluently and naturally, just like a native. No matter what kind of deal it was, he would just let him do it. Even if he closed his eyes, he would not suffer a loss.
As for the stone camel, although it could not speak to humans, it could speak to animals. It seemed to be able to use a mysterious language to communicate with the thoughts of the animals.
No matter what the donkey, horse, or camel was thinking, he knew what he wanted these animals to do. They were actually obedient.
Sometimes, Hu Tiehua simply couldn't figure out what method Ji Bingyan used to find these two people. He really couldn't help but admire them.
As expected, the carriage and horses continued to travel day and night. It was as if Little Pan and Shi Tuo had not slept at all. However, after a few days, Little Pan was still in high spirits and had a smile on his face. Shi Tuo did not even lower his head.
"Can these two not sleep?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"Some people can sleep no matter what they are doing.”
"You can sleep while driving?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"The horse already knows the way, why can't it sleep when driving?"”
Hu Tiehua thought for a moment and then said,"Not bad! He was always sitting when he was steering the carriage, but not only did the stone camel not sit down, he did not even stand up. Could it be that he could sleep while walking?”
"Exactly," Ji Bingyan said indifferently.”
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid?" Hu Tiehua laughed.”
Ji Bingyan's face sank and she stopped talking.
Chu Liuxiang laughed." He's not lying to you. There are indeed people who can sleep while walking. It's because although his legs are walking, his mind is completely relaxed, just like other people when they sleep."”
"You're quite capable." Hu Tiehua laughed.”
Ji Bingyan said coldly," This ability isn't innate, but honed. If a person is driven by a whip and walks without rest for a year, as long as he closes his eyes, he will be whipped. Then in the future, even if he walks barefoot in the snow, he will still be able to sleep.”
"Did Shi Tuo suffer such a crime?" Hu Tiehua was moved.”
"En!" Ji Bingyan said.
"But why did others want him to keep walking for a year?" Hu Tiehua sighed.”
Ji Bingyan was silent for a long while before suddenly saying,"Do you see the donkey pulling the mill?”
"I've seen him before," Hu Tiehua replied.
Ji Bingyan slowly said," He was once treated as a donkey that pulled the mill. It was just that it was worse than a donkey. A donkey still had time to rest, but he did not stop and pulled for a whole year.”
Hu Tiehua couldn't help but shiver and said angrily,""Who is this person? Why must he be so cruel! Why did you treat him like this?"
Ji Bingyan shook her head and did not speak again.
Hu Tiehua could only drink. He still didn't believe it." How can a person sleep while walking?”He was determined to find out.
Even though this car was the most comfortable in the world, Hu Tiehua was about to go crazy from being cooped up in it all day and all night.
He wanted to find something to do.
So he leaned against the window and stared at the stone camel with his eyes wide open. He wanted to see how this person could sleep while walking.
Shi Tuo's gray eyes were also staring blankly into the distance, as if he could see some beautiful scenery that others couldn't.
Hu Tiehua was constantly paying attention to him. After a day, he suddenly laughed and said,"What a damn rooster. So you were lying to me.”
"Lie to you?" Ji Bingyan frowned.”
"He hasn't even closed his eyes before. How can he sleep?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"He doesn't need to close his eyes to sleep."”
"What's the reason for this?" Hu Tiehua asked with a smile.”
"It's because he's blind," Ji Bingyan said indifferently.”
"Blind?" Hu Tiehua jumped up. You said that this person is not only deaf and mute, but also blind?”
Ji Bingyan kept her mouth shut. He never repeated what he said a second time.
"No wonder his eyes look so strange, but…but how can a blind man walk like him?" Hu Tiehua said. I really can't figure it out."
"The sacrifice beside him is his eyes," Ji Bingyan said.”
"What if he doesn't have any livestock around him?" Hu Tiehua asked.”
"Then he will try to call one over."”
"You're getting more and more mysterious," Hu Tiehua said with a bitter smile."You're making him sound like a wild beast instead of a human.”
Ji Bingyan said," Sometimes, he is simply a beast. It is only because he wishes that he is a beast. He thinks that it is much easier to get along with beasts than with humans.”
"Then why did he work for you?" Hu Tiehua asked after a long silence.”
Ji Bingyan's mouth closed again. Hu Tiehua could already tell that not only was he unwilling to answer this question, he was also unwilling to discuss this matter.
Who knew that after a long while, Ji Bingyan actually answered word by word,"That's because I saved his life.”
Hu Tiehua was silent for a long time before he sighed."Then, why did you bring a deaf, dumb, and blind man into the desert again?”
"Because he's much more useful in the desert than ten people who are neither deaf nor blind."”
