Otherworldly Merchant
Chapter 840 Water Monster in the Lake (plus more)
After getting out of the car, Alimu and his son took me and Li Mazi to their very old home.
The Alimu family, like many tribal peoples, live in heavenly yellow sand, and in the north-west of his house are some broken walls, which Alimu says are the site of the ancient kingdom of Lulang.
Historical landscapes have also been very prosperous, looking from a distance through those broken walls and seemingly seeing the past prosperity of the landscape. But why did the ancient land mysteriously disappear overnight? It's a thousand mysteries, and I don't have the energy to investigate.
Too many dynasties in the long rivers of history are glorious and fading, and they are like a dust-sealed scroll of painting, believing that one day they will reappear.
The Alimu family were very welcoming, and Li Mazi and I tasted the most authentic Xinjiang cuisine in their home.
“I knew there was a lamb skewer. I had no idea Xinjiang had so much delicious food. ”
Li Mazi looked at the food on the table, drooling.
I'm no longer polite. I ate it in large bites. After all, the Alimu family prepared all the local specialties of Xinjiang, like large plates of chicken, sliced cake, hand grabbed rice...
A table of rice and vegetables was so oily that Li Mazi and I couldn't help but throw down chopsticks. Alimu's little granddaughter looked at us as if we were swallowing tigers and smiled.
Forget it, smile and laugh. I'm too lazy to maintain my image in front of the food. When the wine is full, Alimu serves us the most famous wines in the area. It's said that Xinjiang grapes are the best to eat. When Li Mazi and I first entered the courtyard, we saw a series of crystal clear grapes on the grape shelf, which can choke Li Mazi enough to swallow directly.
If I hadn't stopped him, I would have picked it off at the time, and the wine was delicious with a hint of grape.
“You two digest and wait for the bonfire party in the evening, and then there will be more delicious! ”
Alimu laughed and said.
As soon as Li Mazi heard this, his eyes were straightened and he asked obscenely: “Grandpa, do you have lamb skewers? My favorite thing to eat is your lamb skewers from Xinjiang. ”
Alimuhaha laughed: “Yes, yes, it must be enough for you to eat. ”
Li Mazi put down the bowl chopsticks satisfactorily. "Little brother, there are lamb skewers at night. Let's go! ”
I whitened his eyes and said that he ate meat skewers and wanted to see if it was true.
The night in Xinjiang was cold, so I wore a cotton padded jacket for lunch and ate watermelon around the fire. It's a big day and night temperature difference here. Luckily, Li Mazi and I had a thick cotton padded coat ready before we got here.
Before we came to the campfire, we saw a group of men and women in Uighur costumes sitting around, roasting a fat, oily sheep on the campfire, and the scent caused me and Li Mazi to swallow directly.
“Go ahead, Grandpa will be waiting for you there. ”
Old Master Alimu's little granddaughter saw us come and pointed at her grandfather. After that, she went to find her own little partner to play with. Me and Li Mazi walked up to Alimu and sat down and watched the beautiful Uighur girl dance, let alone enjoy it.
“Brother, we'll have a bonfire party when we get back.” Li Mazi looked at the roasted whole sheep and said.
I don't know about his flowers and intestines. He must have wanted to eat and drink with me. However, it would be nice to have a BBQ with Yin Xinyue in the back yard of the antique shop at night.
But happiness is always too short, and a scream pulls us out of the beautiful dance.
Just heard the scream higher than one, shocked everyone, and everyone stood up and quickly ran to the source of the sound.
As a guest, Li Mazi and I didn't want to continue sitting, so we ran over together and ended up parked in front of a lake.
From a distance, the lake looks like an ear, and the water on the lake ripples as the breeze blows through it. The water is clear and transparent, the surface of the water reflects the stars in the sky, it looks like a fairy realm, but such a beautiful lake front half lies a girl, she constantly screams and waves her limbs, as if she saw something horrible.
My eyesight is better. I found out from afar that this girl is the granddaughter of Old Master Alimu, Moon!
Sure enough, the old man quickly ran away, pulled the moon and quickly said something. He spoke Vivian, neither I nor Li Mazi understood.
In the process, the moon was always pointing its finger at the lake, and its eyes filled with horror.
Is there anything in the lake?
“Don't you move.” I was just trying to find out, but I was caught by a strong man who spoke ill, as if I had done something unforgivable.
Shit, Master always walks sideways, what the fuck are you?
I just wanted to get angry, and Li Mazi couldn't help but say, “What are you pulling us for? ”
“Eryang, let them go. ”
As soon as Alimu spoke, the man named Eryang unwillingly let go. He opened his mouth to say something to the old man, but eventually returned to the crowd.
“Old man, why is this man so cross? ”
Li Mazi looked at Alimu dissatisfied and asked. The old man didn't speak and took us and Moon to the house.
But I can't stay calm for a long time. What's going on in the lake? What did Alimu hide from us?
I looked back into the lake and realized that there was a giant thing in the water, and it was staring at me dead with eyes that big as a red lantern.
When my heart starts to shake, when I get back to God, the water returns to normal. Is that my illusion?
Alimu took us home without a word. Li Mazi asked in a shady face: "I said," What are you doing? "”
Alimu lit a dry cigarette and it took half an hour to say in a shadow: "Robpo is our holy place, no offense. If the Moon violates the Holy Land, it will be punished by Allah. You are outsiders, not to offend the Holy Land. ”
My heart is silent and holy. Eight achievements is some kind of monster's lair!
“What did Moon see, old man?” I asked out of occupational illness.
But Alimu ignored me and continued to smoke.
The moon was taken away by Daimuo, and I found Daimuo's eyes red, as if he had cried.
“What happened to the moon, old man? ”
I'm starting to think something's wrong and I have to keep asking.
“Brother Zhang, leave these things alone. ”
In the end, Alimu said only one thing to me, but I was blessed, of course, to find a way to help them as much as possible.
I didn't keep asking, and I took Li Mazi back to the guest room.
Li Mazi just wanted to squeak. I put my finger up against him, and he stopped yelling slightly.
Alimu's house soundproofed poorly, we were next to Daimo's room, and Li Mazi and I lay on the wall and listened carefully.
“How can you touch the water in the Holy Land? ”
This is a loud and silent voice that sounds extraordinarily repressive.
“Dad, the dead... the dead! ”
Moon and moon are like crazy, screaming hard, Li Mazi and I can hear each other clearly in the next room.
Her tone was full of horror, which confirmed my guess, and the old man kept a lot from us.
We wanted to continue listening, but we found that Daimo and Moon had stopped talking.
The moon says he's dead. Is there a dead man in Rob Poe? But why didn't I see it?
But anyway, I saw Rob Polly's water with my own eyes, and I saw those red eyes in the water.
