Leisurely fairy way

Chapter 258 Being Blackmailed

In the original world, Ji Xiaochun had heard of the reputation of the ancient city of Loulan, the city that was buried by quicksand overnight.What she originally thought was that this world should be the mirror world of the original world. There are many similarities between the two. The ancient city of Loulan might be buried in the future.

Walking in the desert for a month, she helped these businessmen avoid many disasters, and finally came out of the desolate place of death. Cactus plants, trees full of downy thorns began to appear around, and occasionally one or two trees could be seen. Adobe house.There were also more and more businessmen walking on the road. They came back from all directions, looking tired and dusty. Relatively speaking, the caravan that came back with Ji Xiaochun was obviously in a lot better condition.

The ancient city of Loulan has only gradually appeared in front of Ji Xiaochun's eyes. She used to think that Loulan was just a single city, but only after seeing it did she realize that Loulan is a country with a city outline. It is already considered a small country. It has a wide range of buildings. largest urban area.The yellow walls have gone through vicissitudes.

Loulan State has guards guarding the city, Zai gave the guards some money, and the guards let them in.

Most of the people walking on the street are businessmen, wearing long robes and hats, and the women are dressed in gorgeous clothes and often wear veils.The pedestrian has a deep outline, but he looks pretty good.Their transactions are not like street stalls in the south, but in special shops. Zai sold the silk, porcelain and tea leaves he brought back to the shop owner and got a lot of money.The journey has been difficult, but rewarding.

Zai wanted to give some money to Ji Xiaochun, but she shook her head and said, "I've already arrived in Loulan, where is the country of Che Chi you mentioned, can you take me there?" Zai said, "The country of Che Chi is in Loulan City It is also a very big country, but the king is not as wise as the king of Loulan, and the life of the common people there is not very good, if the girl is not urgent, it is not bad to live in Loulan for a while."

Ji Xiaochun naturally thought that it would be better to find the Jichuan cold environment as soon as possible, so he didn't agree.

Zai settled his family well, divided all the money, and left the property of the dead men to their wives and children. After finishing all this, he led Ji Xiaochun to Che Chiguo.It was much faster for the two of them to drive on camels than to walk, and Che Chiguo was not too far from Loulan.Zai said that those immortals were the king's guests, they were almost the national teachers of the Che Chi Kingdom, and they would never appear at ordinary times.Only come back when they need something.

However, he had also heard about the immortals. The whereabouts of the immortals were mysterious, so how could they let mortals know.

Che Chiguo was right ahead, and Ji Xiaochun asked Zai to go back.After Zai left, she hurried on with her light body technique, and soon she saw the city wall of Che Chi Kingdom.The boundary line between Chechi Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom is a natural thorny forest. After passing through this thorny forest, there is a city. Unlike Loulan, the entire country of Chechi Kingdom is almost surrounded by city walls, and the people who come and go are very busy. Less, it seems that the military management is stricter.

When Ji Xiaochun was approaching Che Chiguo, he entered Qinglianyu, changed his cassock into a robe, dressed like a man, and put on a hat.She found some silver coins in the storage bag, put them in a small blue bag and hung them around her waist, and Xiaoyi didn't want to go out, it was very conspicuous here.Ji Xiaochun looked at Lord Lian's valley, he didn't know what he was doing, he hadn't come out for several months.

Walking out again with Gai Tian, ​​Ji Xiaochun swaggered towards Che Chiguo.

The guards guarding the city saw a strange man coming with a black dog and stopped him. "Stop, who?"

Ji Xiaochun has been learning their local dialect silently for a month, and the immortals have a vivid memory. She has learned it very quickly, and she can already speak nine out of ten.He smiled and said: "It's a little urgent to go out of the city, you know it's nothing more than that..." After stuffing a few ingots of silver in his hand, the guard guarding the city relaxed and said: "Next time, don't go out easily, the nearest city Martial law is in place inside, let's go in."

Chechi's country is similar to Loulan, with a lot of pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder.Ji Xiaochun walked slowly on the street, Gai Tian followed behind her.She took a look, and planned to find a place to stay first. Just as she was about to step into a nearby inn that looked like an inn, she was bumped by a little girl who rushed out from the side.

The little girl was knocked to the ground. She had two braids on her hair, a little felt hat, and her clothes were worn out in many places.How did Ji Xiaochun bump into someone else? Of course she bumped into it herself. After the little girl was bumped, she burst into tears and clamored for Ji Xiaochun to take her to see the injury. The speed was too fast, Ji Xiaochun didn't understand clearly.

The surrounding crowd quickly gathered.Ji Xiaochun was dressed as a man, the little girl looked thin and pitiful, everyone's sympathy was naturally placed on the little girl.Gai Tian squeezed into the crowd, and asked Ji Xiaochun in a low voice: "Have you been blackmailed?"

Ji Xiaochun smiled and said, "I never thought that this profession can be found everywhere."

The people of Che Chiguo are still very righteous, they don't look rich, compared to Ji Xiaochun's simple clothes, they are much more expensive, no wonder they will find her.They became more and more noisy, roughly meaning that Ji Xiaochun had to pay to send the little girl to a doctor.

Ji Xiaochun was not so kind. She was blackmailed and would pay back money. She said that she would pay for compensation, put her hands into her sleeves, and then her expression changed: "I...my money bag is gone! You hit me My, you must have stolen my purse!"

Everyone saw the man searched all over his body, but couldn't find it.He glared at the girl lying on the ground crying out in pain: "You stole my purse, didn't you!"

The little girl immediately defended: "I didn't! I...I... how could I steal your purse!"

"It must be you!" Ji Xiaochun said, "A blue purse, if you don't believe me, let's search it now!" As she spoke, she walked towards the little girl, and passers-by were also a little confused at the moment.Ji Xiaochun's eyes were sharp, and she immediately noticed a cyan corner of the girl's sleeve. She grabbed the girl's sleeve and pulled out her purse, saying coldly, "Isn't this my purse! What excuse do you have?" Unexpectedly, at such a young age, you would still be deceived."

"This little girl is too ignorant to steal someone's purse!" Seeing the solid evidence, the passers-by shook their heads one by one, saying that the injury was probably fake, and the pain was so painful that they didn't even shed tears.

The little girl originally wanted to blackmail someone, so how could she have stolen her purse, but Ji Xiaochun just stuffed it in quickly.

Seeing that the situation around her was not good, she immediately jumped up from the street with her eyeballs moving, quickly grabbed the money bag from Ji Xiaochun's hand, and ran towards the side road.

The distance between the two houses was so narrow that only a thin girl could run in.The little girl was uninjured at first glance, she ran so fast that she disappeared in a flash. "Catch her, she's gone!" Someone around shouted for help, but they still couldn't catch the little girl who was as slippery as a loach.

Ji Xiaochun sighed, and greeted Gaitian: "Let's go, it seems that the inn can't be accommodated. Let's go find Yinzi."

Gai Tian flicked his tail and laughed at her: "You let a mortal snatch the money bag from your hand, what are you going to do?"

Ji Xiaochun said with a smile: "I like this little girl, blackmailing people is not enough to steal money, there is a future."

It's rare for her to find a child with spiritual roots here. There are basically no people with spiritual roots in Loulan Kingdom. She found one after walking a street in Che Chiguo, and this little girl is still a rare child with three spiritual roots. The disciples of the foundation monks are enough.Could it be that the people of Che Chi Kingdom had too much contact with immortal cultivators, so many people have spiritual roots?
She left a ray of consciousness on the little girl, and she was not afraid that she would get lost.Ji Xiaochun took Gaitian along the small path between the houses, gradually the surroundings became less grand, the houses became shorter and dilapidated, and the roads became narrower and narrower.

The stinky ditch on the side of the road was full of rubbish, and the people walking towards him were wearing dirty and old clothes. Seeing Ji Xiaochun, who was neatly dressed, he was a little puzzled, but his eyes soon became numb.A few children hid outside the door and played, smiling and chasing after Ji Xiaochun, but because Gai Tian was following her, they didn't dare to get too close.Ji Xiaochun saw a group of gerbils running past him, all of them extremely fat.

This must be a poor area.Ji Xiaochun looked around, everyone seemed to be looking at him.She beckoned Gaitian to turn a corner, and saw a row of low houses, and a row of flowering cacti were planted outside the houses near the road.

Ji Xiaochun walked into this room, Gaitian let out a bit of disgust, and followed Ji Xiaochun in.

The first thing they saw after entering was a woman lying in the yard.The woman didn't wear a veil, her cheeks were thin, her skin was sallow, and she looked like she was seriously ill.She propped herself up from the thin black felt blanket and said in a hoarse voice, "Guest, who are you looking for?"

A little girl's voice came from inside the room: "Aniang, who's here?" The man walked out with a wooden basin in his hand.

The little girl was shocked when she saw Ji Xiaochun, and the water she was carrying knocked over with a thud.

"I came to ask you for money." Ji Xiaochun said.

"Boob, did you do something wrong!" The woman raised her voice, but couldn't help coughing heavily.

Bubu rushed over immediately, patted his mother on the back, and quickly said, "Mom, I did nothing wrong! Don't get angry!"

"Everyone has come to ask you for money...cough cough." The woman's face was flushed abnormally, and she grabbed Bubu's sleeve with all her strength, and Bobu was on the verge of crying.

Seeing this, Ji Xiaochun sighed and said: "The ventilation outside will make the condition worse, help your mother into the house first."

Bubu helped the woman into the room with red eyes, came out after a while, and immediately knelt down in front of Ji Xiaochun with a plop: "Guest, I have already bought medicine and rice for my mother, and there is nothing left. I can't get the money, so if you get angry, beat me up!"
