strange village

Get ready to go to the oasis with her, and Axi will go with her.

Mo Tan drove out a safari car, rummaged through a large travel bag in the car, and threw two cloak coats to Dongyue and Zhuyao: "Just in case, once the wind blows, you will need this .”

Taking a closer look, Mo Tan and Axi's outfits are different from yesterday's. Although the outside temperature is higher, both of them have long sleeves, and the collar wraps the neck well. There is also a hood, which should be sun protection and Anti-sand bar.

After driving for a while, a small piece of reflection could be seen in the distance. The speed of the car slowed down and stopped soon. The area in front of me was not so much a sandy lake as a small pond. Axi was very excited and took the I took out the fishing tackle and net, got some bait, and caught fish by the pond.

Mo Tan scooped up some paper balls and found a lizard's lair nearby. Lizards in the desert are stupid and easy to catch. Just chase them and block the lair's hole. Just drive them away. It was easy to catch, and they soon caught several lizards of different species and stuffed them into the boxes prepared in advance.

Not long after, he heard Axi's excited cry, and he also reaped a lot, catching three snakeheads and two catfish in a net bag.They simply cleaned up the two black fishes, smeared them with salt, and moved a small charcoal stove out of the car, quickly lit the fire, and after a while, the fish were roasted until they were burnt and fragrant, and the four of them ate them , this grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a little saltiness and sweet and delicate fish meat, which is very suitable.Zhu Yao didn't eat much of the share, and passed it to Dongyue after changing hands.

Ah Xi thought the two of them were humble, and said, "It's okay, I'll be there in a while, and this is to show you something new. When you arrive at the oasis, let alone grilled fish, there are snowflake beef."

"That's really good. Is meat the staple food here?" Dongyue asked.

"There is no other way around my house. I often store all kinds of dried meat, but the oasis is different. There is everything there, so it doesn't matter. That's why we have to buy it regularly, otherwise we can only eat this green-skinned lizard every day." Mo Tan replied.

After eating, several people cleaned up the mess, packed the small charcoal stove, put the remaining fish into the water tank they brought, and set out on the road again.

The car wobbled for nearly four and ten minutes. Fortunately, there was no big wind and sand. I did see interesting animals like roadrunners on the road. Dongyue relaxed and leaned on Zhu Yao. shoulders fell asleep.When she was woken up, the car had already stopped, Mo Tan had already got out of the car, and Axi was packing up her things. At this moment, Dongyue was embarrassed to find that there seemed to be a suspicious spot on the shoulder of Zhu Yao's cloak, and she blushed immediately.

Seeing that he was still in a daze, not knowing what he was doing, Zhu Yao jumped out of the car first, and stretched out his hand to him. Dongyue was taken aback, then involuntarily grabbed his hand and got out of the car.

There is a piece of green in front of me, and the white desert has become the best background, making it more vivid.The scattered buildings are quite distinctive, surrounding a rather wide water area.The costumes of the people here are different from those of the outside world. They are very unmodern, and you can’t tell which country or generation they belong to. It can also be said that the styles of different countries and generations are mixed and matched. There are all kinds of dresses. Maybe because it is in the desert, sun protection Ventilation is still very important. Most of the vendors wore headscarves, and their attire was a bit Arabic. Dongyue and Zhu Yao wore cloaks, which didn't look very conspicuous.

Going forward, there is a market not far away. Dongyue suddenly noticed someone grabbing his wrist. Looking back, it was Zhu Yao. Zhu Yao was startled when he saw him. Holding his wrist, whispered close to his ear: "There are many people here, don't get lost."

Dongyue felt quite embarrassed when he uttered such an ordinary sentence. While walking side by side with him, she stared at Mo Tan and Axi who were walking in front.There are many people here, but it is by no means to the point of rubbing shoulders.

"Butcher shop, butcher shop, the best butcher shop, pork, chicken, snowflake beef~" Ah Xi hummed as he walked.

"What are you singing?"Mo Tan looked at him with disgust.

"Song of Meat! Crispy and tender fried chicken, grilled pork belly, half-cooked snowflake steak! Sister, don't you want to eat it?" Axi pointed a fork at his waist.

"What's the matter, you, didn't you agree? Are you going to buy potatoes first?" Mo Tan grabbed Axi's collar from behind.

"You potato head, idiot sister!" Ah Xi struggled and shouted.

Dongyue saw that the two were arguing, and quickly smoothed things over: "So Mo Tan likes potatoes?"

"Well..." Her cheeks flushed slightly, "I like it, and I want to try various things."

"In the desert?" Dongyue asked

"Well, of course it's in my courtyard!" Mo Tan replied.

Dongyue imagined a sandy field full of potatoes, not knowing what to do to make a good expression, and how could this be successful.

At this time, Zhu Yao who was next to him spoke up: "Potatoes are a good food, and they are easy to preserve in the desert. You can try high-temperature-resistant varieties. There is a large temperature difference between day and night here, so you have to water them continuously during the day to cool down. The low temperature at night can just satisfy the growth of plants and tubers, and there are fewer pests and diseases that affect potato growth in the desert. As long as we can survive the high temperature period, we should have a good yield.”

After hearing Zhu Yao's words, Mo Tan seemed very happy.

"That's really great, I'm going to try to buy more varieties! Then please buy more, Axi." Mo Tan patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

"Soil quality is also very important. Sandy soil alone may not work, but here may be." Zhu Yao continued.

"The soil here can grow rice and wheat. Although the yield is not much, it must be because of the soil." Mo Tan rubbed his hands.

"You can mix the two kinds of soil and try."

"Ah, golden potatoes are delicious, let's try growing them too!" Ah Xi said loudly.

"Satisfy you, let's go and buy them together." As he spoke, Mo Tan leaned over, hooked shoulders with Zhu Yao and called them brothers.

"What money do you use to buy things here?" Dongyue asked.

"Yes." As he spoke, Mo Tan took out two bags and shook them with rattling noises.Then he took out two shiny gold coins and threw them to A Xi, urging him, "Go and come back quickly, let's meet at the fruit shop near A Qing's house."

After staying in the village for a long time, I almost forgot the benefits of money.

It turned out to be gold, so primitive, Dongyue thought, and said: "I thought this place would be more special."

"Special? What do you mean? Is it the style of a gold coin?" Mo Tan took out a gold coin and put it in Dongyue's hand.

"What do the symbols on it mean?" Dongyue asked, the cold gold coin was quite heavy.

"For gold and oil."

Dongyue wanted to return the coin to Mo Tan after reading it, but Mo Tan said: "You two also have to buy some replacement clothes, you won't be able to leave in a while, will you?"

Then he stuffed them with a bag of gold coins, and said that the clothes here are very tolerant, and it doesn't matter what you wear, just buy what you like.

"Isn't that bad?" Dongyue wanted to decline.

But Mo Tan said: "Don't worry, I won't give it to you for nothing. He gave me a very expensive reward the night you came here. You deserve these shoes."

Then Mo Tan left the two of them in a clothing store and went shopping for other things.

The boss greeted the two of them warmly. There are many exotic clothes in the store, even from all dynasties, Eastern and Western clothes, brightly colored kimonos, gowns covered with sequins, dresses from the Baroque period, lace and jeweled beaded dresses. The lady's dress is displayed in the window.

Is this one of those dress shops?Dongyue walked around the store, knowing that he had found some simple clothes on a rather inconspicuous hanger, so she stopped. Since she was walking in the desert, it would be better to wear clothes that are easy to move around, so she picked them out. Some clothes that are easy to move around.

Looking back at Zhu Yao, he saw that he didn't choose anything.

"Where is this guest? Come to choose a cool and windproof clothes? Here are the latest styles." The boss nodded and bowed hospitablely.

"No need, just follow what he chose, and I can have a few sets of the same set according to my size." Zhu Yao pointed to Dongyue and said, but his eyes fell on a dummy mannequin in a black robe .

The boss noticed his gaze and said quickly: "Guests, you have good eyesight. This is the treasure of the store. This material is not an ordinary good thing. This is the best black streamer silk, which is breathable and sun-proof. This cuff Both the skirt and the lapel are decorated with obsidian edging, which is definitely a treasure."

Under the light, dark lines surged in that robe, it was smooth and silky, and it was cool to the touch and extremely soft, it was indeed beautiful.

"Then I need two of these." Zhu Yao said flatly, as if he was talking about buying radishes.

"Guest, are you kidding? Let's not talk about this kind of treasure. There is only one piece in this store, and the price is not cheap." He said while looking at the simple clothes of the two of them.

It seems that no matter where you go, you always respect the clothes first and then the people.

"You tell me the number." Zhu Yao said with the usual expression.

"Since there is only one item, let's forget it." Dongyue hurriedly interjected, it's not something that must be had, so it's not waiting to be slaughtered.

But even though he said this, he couldn't help but imagine how this robe would look on Zhu Yao's body. Black really suits him very well.

"Twenty gold coins." The boss made a two.

"Fifteen." Zhu Yao replied coldly.

"My ancestors, the business lost money." The boss cried miserably.

"Seventeen." Zhu Yao said.

"Twenty gold coins, not a penny less." The boss insisted.

"Forget it, let's take a look again, maybe there are better products." After saying that, he pulled Dongyue and walked out of the store without looking back.

As soon as Dongyue stepped over the threshold with one foot, she was pulled back by the shopkeeper.

It's just a price bargain, so do you have to do it like this?Three gentlemen, is this plausible?But he was timid and didn't dare to make a sound.

"Eighteen gold coins, I really can't give up any more!" The shop owner seemed to have made a huge determination.

Only then did Zhu Yao turn around, and the shopkeeper was babbling about the difficulty of doing business while wrapping clothes for the two of them.

"I see you two are unfamiliar, is this your first time?" the boss said.

"Well, we were passing by." Dongyue replied.

Zhu Yao frowned, but Dongyue didn't pay much attention.

"How long have you been here?"

"It's been 12 years since I opened the shop here. You also came here for the eldest lady of the Chu family, right? She is truly a peerless beauty."

"Who?" Dongyue repeated, puzzled.

"You don't know, the most powerful family in this area is the Chu family, and Chu Xuan is the only daughter of this family."

"It seems that we are ignorant and have never heard of it."

"Let me tell you, this girl and her brother are a pair of twins. It's not a big deal. God is that the two were born in the desert. At that time, their parents and the caravan I was rushing back to the oasis, but I caught up with the desert tornado, when the rescuers arrived, they only found two newborn children, and their parents disappeared, not even the bones were found."

"It's kind of weird to say, how could two newborn babies survive in the desert?"

"That's why there are legends that these two children are blessed by the desert god, and their hair is a light golden color similar to that of the desert, so they are the children of the desert."

"It should be the gene of blond hair inherited from the parents, right? After all, blond hair is an invisible gene, so it doesn't necessarily mean that the parents must be blond." Dongyue said, "And how could there be such a magical thing? The storm bypassed the child, Only took away the caravan?”

"I'm not sure about this, maybe they thought of some way to save the child."

"You don't know, right now the eldest lady of the Chu family, Chu Xuan, is going to get married, and their family is looking for a son-in-law. Although there are rumors that it's just a cover, the real candidate has already been decided, but it's not certain, I think This little brother looks so handsome and is willing to pay for such expensive clothes, isn't he just begging for a wife?"

Hearing the word begging for a wife, Dongyue's heart trembled, she glanced at Zhu Yao secretly, and said with a sneer, "I'm not so lucky." He thought to himself that the beautiful clothes were obviously bought by Zhu Yao.In terms of physique and appearance, with Zhu Yao standing by his side, it was impossible for him to turn around.

☆, nectar drink

At this moment, Mo Tan also came back from shopping and joined them. She was carrying a lot of packages on her back and carrying a lot of packages in her hands. Continue on the road to meet Axi.

When they arrived at the fruit shop, they saw Axi impatiently sipping his drink. The potatoes he bought were filled with cloth bags and piled up on the ground under his feet. They came out and got a lot of harvest. If there was no car, this would be really I don't know what to do.Mo Tan stepped forward, sat down on the bench, and ordered three nectar drinks.As soon as the drink was delivered, she couldn't wait to drink it. Dongyue and Zhu Yao also drank it. It tasted like pear juice. It was cold, sweet and moist in her throat. It was almost noon. Take a sip of the boiling hot place, it is really like the nectar given by God.

"Sister! Guess who I ran into?" A Xi put his elbows on the table and pressed his temple with one hand, pretending to be deep and said.

"Who?" Mo Tan didn't raise his head.

A Xi couldn't wait to say: "I met Ah Qing on the street just now! I even called him, but he ignored me! Cut."

"Oh, did Ah Qing see you too?" Mo Tan didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Then how do I know?" Axi took out the ice cubes in the bowl with a spoon and put them in his mouth.

"I didn't see you, so of course I ignored you. The street is full of people, who can hear it. Anyway, I will see you later. What are you in a hurry for?" Mo Tan laughed.

"No, no, I promised to go to Chongmu to make toys for him. Isn't there a king lizard for him? Last time he asked for this to keep and play, so he won't go to Chu's house with you." Ah Xi said and waved his hand.

It's normal for a teenager to be playful.

"Whatever you want." Mo Tan stared at the cup, seeming to have concerns in his heart.

"Anyway, isn't it your sister who wants to see Ah Qing? Chongmu also said last time that instead of doing nothing in the desert, it's better for me to stay here and take classes with him, and earn some pocket money when I'm not in class."

"It's as if I abused you at home. You can do whatever you want, just don't cause trouble. If you cause trouble, don't expect me to save you." Mo Tan rolled his eyes after saying that.

"If you don't save me, don't save me. Anyway, Chongmu will save me." Axi said happily, not knowing whether he was anxious or excited, his cheeks gradually turned red.

"I'm going to visit a friend of mine in a while, you two should go together, my friend has a wide range of ways, maybe he can help you a bit." Mo Tan looked at Dongyue and Zhu Yao and said.

"Of course it will be fine, thank you." Dongyue smiled.

Zhu Yao, who was at the side, said, "You are talking about the Chu family, but there is a young lady named Chu Xuan?

Dongyue was in a bad mood, and he really listened to what he heard, and he was really thinking about it.

"That's right, it's their family. How do you know? His brother Chu Qing is a good friend of mine." Mo Tan looked quite happy when he heard them mention the Chu family.

"What a coincidence." Dongyue went on to say, "The boss who sold the clothes just now said that their family is looking for a son-in-law." After speaking, the corners of her mouth moved slightly.

"That's right, the Chu family was originally engaged in the transportation industry, and now it has grown to be quite powerful. It was originally Ah Qing's father, Chu Yunfei, who was in charge of the family, but in a natural disaster, Ah Qing's parents died in the sandstorm, so Chu Chu Yunfei's younger brother Chu Yunfan took over the family affairs temporarily. According to the rules, when Ah Qing became an adult at the age of 20, he should hand over the power, but now Ah Qing is 24 years old, and his uncle has been looking for various reasons for postponing his succession."

Dongyue and Zhu Yao looked at each other and understood.Sure enough, once entering a wealthy family, the depths are like the sea, this is a good show of fighting for power and profit!

"Then Miss Chu getting married, isn't it a good thing?" Dongyue asked.

"That's true, but Chu Yunfan deliberately manipulated the candidate, but it's troublesome." Mo Tan said.

"Then, does Miss Chu have anyone who agrees with her?" Dongyue asked, not noticing that Zhu Yao's brows were shaking.

"I've never heard of this. It's not so easy to find someone who really suits your heart, but it's just a matter of looking at the family, appearance, and talent. As for the character, I don't know. If you're lucky , it’s just that they don’t have feelings, if you’re unlucky, Ah Xuan’s life will be very difficult in the future.”

"She's a young lady, why is she doing this? Isn't it okay to marry someone you like?" Dongyue frowned slightly.

"It's a long story, but the most direct reason is that this is her uncle's interference. He wants to control the candidates to marry and form an alliance with the family power he likes, which is beneficial to his status. Moreover, he captured Axuan For the sake of Ah Xuan's happiness, Ah Qing will also be at his mercy in the future."

"Despicable and shameless," Ah Xi spat angrily.

"Ah Qing and I are having a headache because of this." Mo Tan heaved a long sigh.

"Then why not delay? His brother hasn't married yet, right? Don't be in such a hurry to marry your sister." Dongyue said.

"I tried it too, but now I really can't wait anymore. The age of 24 is too early for Ah Qing, but it is too late for Ah Xuan." Mo Tan stirred the nectar in the cup.

"Actually, if she really doesn't want to be manipulated by others, it's easy." Dongyue said mysteriously.

"Talk about it." Mo Tan opened his eyes wide and was ready to listen to his opinion.

Several people thought he had a good idea, so they put their heads in the middle, and Dongyue put her palms around her mouth, and whispered three words: "Elope."

"Hi." Ah Xi exclaimed, seemingly disappointed.

Mo Tan shook his head helplessly, while Zhu Yao's brows frowned even tighter.

Mo Tan said: "How do you elope? Where are you going to elope? Although there are other oases in the distance, with the power of the Chu family, it is almost impossible to escape from their sight. Moreover, the two brothers and sisters do not want to leave Chu. Home. If there is a reliable person who is willing to take Axuan away, it may not be impossible, but there has never been a suitable candidate. If you escape into the desert, you will have to live the same hard life, let's forget it."

It is also said that it is difficult for people who have suffered a lot to say "give me freedom or give me death". Compared with living, losing a little freedom is nothing.

"It's getting late, I have to go to Chongmu, hurry up, don't let him wait." Axi said, put down the cup in his hand, bent down and filled the cloth bag with potatoes from under his feet.

Mo Tan responded, and the group of people started to split up.

"I won't go back these few days. I'll wait until I've had enough fun—ah no, I'll just ask Chongmu to take me home after I finish my studies." Asi waved his hand, as expected of a child's heart.

"Do whatever you want, don't cause trouble!" Mo Tan instructed again, and waved to him.

Ah Xi trotted into the crowd, and after a while the figure of the boy was submerged in the crowd, invisible.

"Okay, let's go too." Mo Tanzhao led the remaining two people to walk in another direction.

The three of them walked for a while, and it was obvious that there were few people in front of them.It's not far from the downtown area. It's two streets away, but it's completely different and exquisite. The road repairs are well-organized, but the roadsides are clean. There are no idlers, and there are no shops. There are sporadic guards around the wall. .They followed Mo Tan around the gate and entered the house from the side door. The guards seemed to be familiar with Mo Tan, exchanged glances quickly, and let them in.

This house is quite spacious, like a villa area, if a person comes in, he will definitely get lost.A few people turned around and came to a small courtyard. The attendant at the door entered the room to report. Soon, a neat woman walked out of the side room. She had a slender figure and a pair of willow eyes. Eye-catching.

"Shuang Ye has met Patriarch Mo." The woman nodded and saluted Mo Tan.

Mo Tan nodded slightly at her and bowed back: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Shuang Ye so alien to me?"

The woman didn't answer, her eyes fell on Dongyue and the two of them.

"Who are these two?" Shuang Ye asked.

"This is my friend, Dongyue and Zhu Yao." Mo Tan introduced to her.

Shuang Ye led several people into the room and invited them to sit down.Then he invited two boys to come in and serve them tea. Unexpectedly, what was served here was real tea and cakes made of rice noodles.

Dongyue took a bite of the pastry and said it was delicious, and soon someone came to add new ones.

"Master Ah Qing will be back soon, please wait a moment, I will order lunch, I will not disturb you, please feel free." After finishing speaking, the red-haired woman quietly retreated out.

After a while, a young man walked into the door. He had a high nose and big eyes, broad shoulders and long legs. He was dressed in a dark blue shirt with a blue belt around his waist. His long light golden hair was loosely tied with dark satin. rise.

"You're here!" said the young man with a clear and pleasant voice.

"Ah Qing!" Mo Tan happily stood up to meet him, hugged and patted each other's shoulders with the young man.

"Let me introduce you. These are my friends, Dongyue and Zhu Yao." Mo Tan introduced to Ah Qing.

Chu Qing nodded to the two of them.

"I'm here to do some shopping, and I'll take a look at you. Here, this is what I promised to do for Ah Xuan last time." Mo Tan said, then took out a glass bottle from his bag and handed it to Chu Qing.

Chu Qing didn't reach out to pick it up, and said, "When you see her, give it to her yourself."

"But isn't Ah Xuan going to class today? Why don't you see me when you have time?" Mo Tan said, with that hand still outstretched in mid-air.

"What's the matter with you, I want you to stay, and she will rest tomorrow, so you can give it to her face to face."

"What is this for?" Mo Tan asked.

"Actually, I need your help with something." Chu Qing said.

Mo Tan silently took the glass bottle back and said, "You say so."

"It's about Axuan's marriage. I thought of a way." Chu Qing said with a deep expression.

"How?" Mo Tan asked.

"Chu Yunfan is soliciting candidates everywhere. I heard that he is looking at either some trash with a family background but no stock in his head, or an ambitious guy who works hand in hand with him and wears a pair of pants. In short, there is no one who is reliable. I Then I found some people to compete with them." Chu Qing said.

"How is this going to work? Does the old guy not know about your connections? Can you hide it from him?"

"I'm also having a headache because of this." Chu Qing replied with a worried expression on her face.

"Speaking of which, I actually have something to ask you for." Mo Tan said.

"You said so."

"These two are from outside the desert. Have you ever heard of a way to leave the desert?" Mo Tan asked.

Chu Qing looked at them suspiciously, unable to speak for a long time.

"I've never heard of it. Even the most experienced guides dare not say that they have traveled all over this area, let alone mention it." Chu Qing said.

"That's it." Mo Tan couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.

"However, maybe these two brothers can do me a favor. After this is done, I will try my best to help you two."

Well, this help is conditional and fair, so don't worry about being in debt to others.

"We are not familiar with the place, so we may not be able to help." Dongyue was a little hesitant, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Yao's face.

"Please speak." Zhu Yao raised an eyebrow at him, meaning to listen first before speaking.

"The two of you must have heard about it. I have a twin sister who is good-looking and is in my boudoir, but my uncle intends to control my brother and sister, and wants to marry Axuan to the person he likes. If he is happy, we will Ah Xuan's life will be difficult." Chu Qing said.

This is similar to what Mo Tan said.

"Then how can we help?" But I thought in my heart, you are related by blood after all, why are you relying on strangers like us instead.

"I think it's better than this. You also participate in this recruitment. As the candidate for Axuan's husband, my uncle will hold a public banquet three days later. I will arrange an identity for you. You can show up at that time. Although uncle can control the candidate , but we still have to take into account the opinions of the tribe, so in the end it is up to Axuan to make the final choice, so that we have a chance, once our people succeed, we will take Axuan away from here." Chu Qing clenched her hands tightly. She clenched her fist, as if she had made up her mind to let her only sister be free and happy.

"Do you have to leave here? Besides, if you know the details of the person, wouldn't it be good to let Axuan marry him?" Dongyue was puzzled.

"I can't do that."

"Ah?" Dongyue was at a loss, Zhu Yao quietly squeezed his hand under the table, and he shut up knowingly.

"Ah Xuan's future is decided by herself. Who she wants and who she will be with is her own choice. I can't make the decision for her."

I didn't expect this person to be very sensible!

At this time, Zhu Yao said, "From my point of view, your situation is not optimistic. Haven't you ever thought of using your sister's marriage to help yourself?"

These words made the few people sitting there stunned for a moment, and after a while, Chu Qing replied coldly: "No."

"Aqing and Axuan have a deep relationship. As a person, Aqing will never disregard her sister's happiness for the sake of power. Don't say that again." Mo Tan was busy smoothing things over.

"I took the liberty." After Zhu Yao finished speaking, he remained silent.

Speaking of which, the two brothers and sisters have no father and no mother, and they can only rely on each other. There should be no one who cares more about each other than themselves.

"Then what does Miss Chu Xuan think?" Dongyue asked.

After a while of awkward silence, Chu Qing said: "I don't know, she never told me, and she never refuses my uncle's arrangement."

"How is this possible? Does she have a sweetheart?" Dongyue continued to ask.

"I...don't know." Chu Qing looked a little ugly.

"Then what does she think about this time?" Dongyue asked again.

"..."

What the hell is going on with this man?While talking about thinking about my sister, on the other hand, I don't know what's on my sister's mind.

At this time, Mo Tan came out again to make a rescue: "Don't blame him, it's all because his uncle is watching Ah Xuan too closely. It's hard to see Ah Qing even once. There is no opportunity to speak frankly."

"In my opinion, this matter has to be discussed in the long term. If we can help, we should do our best, but if we don't know Miss Chu Xuan's intentions, we can do whatever we want. It's always not good." Dongyue Offer an honest opinion.

Mo Tan nodded in agreement.

Chu Qing was silent for a moment, and seemed to think it made sense.

"Then trouble you guys to stay in the house for a few days, and then make plans after seeing Axuan." Chu Qing's expression softened a lot, and he also approved Dongyue's words.

Mo Tan had no opinion.

Dongyue said: "Shall we stay here too?"

Chu Qing said: "Of course, the visitor is a guest, besides, I still have a request from you."

Dongyue looked at Zhu Yao for his opinion, Zhu Yao nodded, and the matter was accepted.

☆, new clothes

It was noon at this time, and Chu Qing called for a sumptuous lunch to eat with them.

During the conversation, they learned that the width of this desert is many times larger than Dongyue's imagination. There are several oases like this one. Although the scale and prosperity are different, they are all relatively densely populated. more developed areas.The business that the Chu family is now engaged in is the lifeblood of the desert, gold and oil, and belongs to one of the families standing at the top of the pyramid in the desert.

In this way, the marriage of any family member may involve a huge power game and distribution of benefits, so it is not surprising that there are such conspiracies and tricks to fight for power and profit.

After drinking and eating, Chu Qing said that there were important matters to be dealt with, and ordered Shuangye to take care of them, then took her leave and left.

As usual, Shuangye arranged Mo Tan in the yard near Chuqing, and took Dongyue and Zhuyao to the depths of the house.

"There are a lot of guests at home recently, but don't worry, there are still rooms for both of you, but they are farther away." Shuang Ye pushed a strand of red hair behind her ear and said as she walked.

What?Do we have to live separately?Big households are extraordinary, don't be so particular about it, right?

Speaking of separating from Zhu Yao at this moment, Dongyue is unwilling in her heart. The reason is that Dongyue herself can't say it, and the reason is-he is afraid!

Ever since he entered Chu's house, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He always felt that something was going to happen. It was really not a wise move for him to act separately from Zhu Yao in this strange place.

Although he was very unhappy in his heart, he didn't know how to open his mouth. Unknowingly, his fingers climbed onto the corner of Zhu Yao's clothes and tugged lightly twice, but Zhu Yao ignored him, as if he didn't notice it. .

After walking with Shuangye for a while, they came to a secluded small courtyard, presumably one of their residences, although the area was not large, it was well-equipped.

"Isn't this room for two people?" Zhu Yao said.

"It is possible to live here, but the two of you are distinguished guests..."

She wanted to continue talking, but was interrupted by Zhu Yao.

"It doesn't matter, we still have someone to take care of us when we live together, it would be inconvenient to separate."

Dongyue secretly rejoiced. In fact, what Zhu Yao said was unexpected by Dongyue. Since he and Zhu Yao met, the two were not close. I was embarrassed to call him for help, but what he said reached Dongyue's heart.

"Would you like to go and see another room? It's more spacious than this one, and it's closer to the main house." Shuang Ye said.

"No, it's fine here.

After some instructions, Shuang Ye ordered the guards to put down their things, and then took the people away. Finally, only Dongyue and Zhu Yao were left in the room.

After shopping for most of the day, Dongyue also felt that her legs and feet were a little tired, and she felt a little sleepy after eating a full meal, and her legs were a little heavy, so she slumped on the sofa and didn't speak.

Zhu Yao opened the package on the side, shook out their newly bought clothes one by one and hung them up. Seeing Dongyue staring blankly at the side, she said, "Go to bed and take off your clothes when you're sleepy."

Speaking of clothes, Dongyue smelled her body. She hadn't bathed in the past two days, and the smell on her body was not very pleasant.

"Take a shower, take a shower first." While muttering in his mouth, he walked towards the bathroom.

So he acquiesced to Zhu Yao's behavior, and Zhu Yao quickly took off his pants, revealing the solid and powerful body of a young man, which is exactly the kind of physique that all men yearn for, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, clear muscles, and more muscles Too many points, too little points, but the skin is fair, and people can't help but want to touch it.

The owner of this body was walking towards Dongyue step by step, Dongyue felt her heart pounding and was about to jump out of her throat, but the body stopped beside him, reached out to pick up a cloth towel, and began to take a bath.

Dongyue frowned, then pretended to be calm and rubbed foam
