Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 617 Xiashan Town

What happened in the middle of the night could only be regarded as a minor episode. The people in the caravan had no idea what had happened to Yang Yiyi and the others. They thought that the three girls were hysterical because they stayed awake in the middle of the night.

Of course, the three of them would not tell everyone about it. After all, since you mentioned the matter of the water god, you have to explain why he was so respectful, which naturally led to Li Chengxi's appearance.

There is no need, there is really no need.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the caravan had already packed up their things, and soon the pass gate slowly opened to face the rising sun.

Since they were camping near the pass, they were the first group to cross the border. It was a bit deserted now, but soon, there would be a steady stream of merchants crossing the border.

The gatekeepers of Dazhehaqi look lazy, but they are not sloppy at all when they are working. Even though they seem to be familiar with the people in the caravan, they still follow the procedures in a very strict manner.

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

"Thank you for your hard work, General. Here are some local specialties to take back and share with my brothers."

"How embarrassing."

Having said that, when the handlebar rider stuffed the small bag over to him, he just pushed it and accepted it with a smile.

Caravans that frequently travel this route must maintain good relations with the garrison. Even if they will not give you a break, as long as they do not trip you up, the expense is completely worth it.

A group of soldiers joined together and quickly settled the matter of leaving the country. However, when the officer saw Yang Yiyi and the other two sitting in the carriage, he still asked:
"Those three people look unfamiliar. Where did they come from?"

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

"Look, sir, that girl has difficulty walking, so she went with us to southern Xinjiang to find some good medicine to treat her."

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

The officer was still a little suspicious. After all, since he had a disability, he could just ask someone else to find medicine. There was no need for him to do it himself.

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

"Go ahead, but be careful on the road. There's a bit of chaos in southern Xinjiang recently."

"Uh...General, how do you say this?"

"How would I know? I just heard that there seemed to be some unusual movements in several tribes in southern Xinjiang, and the higher-ups have asked us to step up our guard. You should be more careful when you go out."

After saying this, 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 rather countless tribes of all sizes.

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

But where there are people, there are disputes, and this is also true in southern Xinjiang.

If conflicts arise between tribes and eventually a fight breaks out, the ones who suffer the most are the caravans doing business. This shows that although this bowl of rice has high profits, it is not so easy.

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

On the other side of Tanhe Pass, you will see a big river. Further away, there is thick fog and you cannot see the situation on the other side clearly. You can only see the shadows of large mountains.

Southern Xinjiang is a typical place with mountains and water connected to each other. There is almost no flat land. As long as you cross the river, you will truly step on the land of Southern Xinjiang.

The river is apparently very wide and there is no bridge over it.

On the one hand, it was because the current bridge-building technology could not handle such a wide river, and on the other hand, the Central Plains was guarding against the southern border to prevent these people from going north. It was easy to cross the river, as there were already boatmen who made a living by the river, and there were already a large number of ferries waiting here.

The carriages were driven onto the boats and secured, and following the captain's call, several boats set off together into the thick fog floating on the river.

I don’t know if it was because of the weather, but the fog was so thick that I couldn’t see my hand in front of me. However, the captain was not worried about getting lost at all and didn’t know how he determined the direction.

It floated on the water for almost a cup of tea. The sun gradually rose higher and the mist slowly dissipated.

Something that looked like a man-made building appeared in the mist. As the distance got closer, elegant small bamboo houses appeared before our eyes.

This is the first stop when entering southern Xinjiang, Xiashan Town.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

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

Southern Xinjiang produces delicious mountain delicacies, as well as high-quality timber and medicinal materials. Moreover, this place is in great shortage of food and metal utensils.

The local specialties and the demand for them have attracted many merchants to do business here.

The formation of Xiashan Town is also related to merchants. It is said that it is 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 Central Plains culture for a long time and are relatively friendly to the people of the Central Plains. But if we go deeper, we have to analyze the specific situation.

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

When it comes to roads, where to go is a big problem.

The three of them came simply because Tang Lianyu said that someone saw a group of gangsters coming towards 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 smuggled directly through the mountains and wilderness, then there would be no way to ask.

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

In storytelling, it is always said that the hero gets some information from the waiter, which then leads to a certain story.

Although this is dramatic, it does make some sense.

The inn's waiter has to receive countless guests coming and going every day, so he is naturally well-informed.

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

As it was early in the morning, there were not many people in the inn. Yang Yiyi was just about to call the waiter over to take her order and ask some questions when she saw a young man in white coming down the stairs. He happened to make eye contact with Yang Yiyi and the other two.

This person was Jiao Wenlong, who had once met Yang Yiyi at the Young Heroes Club and was even slapped by Yang Yiyi like a mosquito. (See Chapter 420 for details)
Yang Yiyi was deeply impressed by him. He could fly up on the spot by stepping on his right foot with his left foot, and even stay in the air like a paper airplane. Almost no knight in the martial arts world could replicate this skill.

Jiao Wenlong was also deeply impressed by Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi. The former was extremely strong, while the latter had an extraordinary musicality. Their characteristics were very obvious.

The two sides recognized each other as soon as they met.

"Miss Yang? Miss Wu? Why are you in Southern Xinjiang? And who is this lady...?"

He recognized him, but there were obviously a row of question marks popping up on Jiao Wenlong's head.
