[Comprehensive] Where do the beauties go

After finishing the task entrusted by Jellyfish Yin Ji, Gu Lai left this area and headed northwest all the way. She wanted to see the scenery of the desert, so she happened to miss their business.

After half a month's journey, Gu Lai has already entered the northwest region, and the place where she is now is a small town by the Malian River.

The scorching sun, wind and sand all day long, and the vast yellow land, this small town on the barren loess plateau is naturally not very rich,

She mainly earns her living by providing supplies for passing caravans, so she is no stranger to outsiders, but a clean and beautiful girl like Gu Lai still attracts a lot of attention.

Gu Lai originally wanted to stay in the Northwest for a while, so she bought a few sets of local clothes. The large and heavy veils and robes are very helpful for walking in the windy, sandy and scorching sun. She also found a brick house. They are already the best houses, because this small town is the only place with clean water within a hundred miles, she plans to resupply here for two days before going on the road.

There are not many other things here, the wind and sand are the most, and when the wind blows, the loess will fly up on the road.

The shopkeeper of the small wine shop by the street was constantly blowing the wind and sand on the pancakes with a broom.

As long as he stops his hands, a layer of butter-like loess will accumulate on the cake.

It is such a cake, but it is a rare delicacy here. Just look at the children hiding behind the wooden door and licking their lips secretly.

Gu Lai is a martial arts practitioner, and it's not that she can't bear hardships, but the hardships here are beyond her imagination. She has also gone to farther places, but those places are more environmentally friendly than this town. for bad.

Gu Lai thought that she was really asking for trouble, even so, she didn't want to go back, instead she continued to live here.

The first person she met here was a girl named Atta, who was also the owner of the brick house she was renting.

This is rare in the local area, and the poorer the place, the more serious the discrimination against women, but she can become the head of the family and own a tavern, which is enough to show her ability, she is not beautiful, and She is dark and thin, but Gu Lai admires her very much.

As for Gu Lai's generosity, Atta was also very enthusiastic. She also specially introduced her tavern, which has good wine. It is even more rare.

Gu Lai did go there. The tavern is not big, but it is rarely clean. Maybe it's because the head of the family is a woman, and women don't like dirty things.

But on the table in the corner of the tavern near the entrance, there was a sloppy alcoholic lying on his stomach, half drunk and half sober, he would lie on his stomach all day when he was drunk, and wanted to drink when he woke up.

What was strange was Atta's attitude. Every time the man asked for wine, she would bring it to him, but she refused to say a word to him, with a cold look.

Gu Lai has been sitting in the tavern for a whole day, but he can see something. Ata clearly likes him, but he insists on facing him coldly.

I heard from her two mistresses that the alcoholic had been here for more than three years and wanted to chase Atta all the time, but Atta never said a word to him.

Gu Lai took a sip of Beard Wine. It is a unique local wine with a very special taste. It is not strong and can be drunk by men, women and children.

Gu Lai didn't want to complain about the drunkard, or persuade Ata to give him a chance. After all, whether the relationship is compatible is a matter between the two of them. Ata doesn't want to have her own reasons. After all, Gu Lai is just a passerby Besides, the drunkard's martial arts are not inferior to hers, and Atta is just a weak woman without martial arts. For her, this relationship may not be a good thing.

As time passed, Gu Lai became a bell doctor here.

This town is not prosperous, and there are few doctors. If you have a minor illness, you can use some homemade prescriptions. If you have a serious illness, you have to walk two hundred miles to find a doctor in a small town near Lanzhou. Gu Lai like this The bell doctor is naturally easy to be welcomed by the people in the town.

What's more, her fees are not high, and she is more of a free clinic. Her medical skills are learned from Ximen Chuuxue. Ximen has the most brilliant swordsmanship and life-saving medical skills.Although he can't reach his height, it is more than enough for an ordinary doctor.

With more contact with the local people, Gu Lai discovered that they are actually very simple, and as foreigners, they respect the culture of the Central Plains very much, so they are also very enthusiastic about the Central Plains people. Gu Lai can't help but feel a little bit emotional. It was a much better time since terrorism and independence were constantly clamoring here in later generations.

"Sister Si, are my legs okay? Can I walk now?"

The one who spoke was a ten-year-old local boy named Amu. He fell down while climbing a wall a while ago, and was sent to Gu Lai. Gu Lai had an examination. Fortunately, it was only a slight fracture. For the convenience of diagnosis and treatment , she left Amu with her, took care of him for a few days, and finally got better.

"Well, it's all right, the splint can be removed." Gu Lai rubbed Amu's hair and said with a smile.

Amu is thin and small, with big eyes, round and round, very lively and talkative, which has brought her a lot of fun these days.

"That's great, I haven't played outside the town for several days." Amu raised his head and said, this kid has a bold temper, he likes to stroll outside when he has nothing to do, and sometimes he goes two hundred miles away , His parents are also very headache.

"What's interesting outside is either the loess or the wind and sand." Gu Lai gently removed the splint and said with a smile.

"It's fun, especially recently there are a lot of caravans, they are tall and big, and they carry knives." Amu made a gesture while talking.

"Are there many people?" Gu Lai asked innocently,

"Well, there are many more than in previous years, and many of them are people from the desert."

Jamuhe.Gu Lai suddenly thought of this person. It seems that his death has caused a turmoil in the desert. Also, when Zhamuhe, who is known as the king of the desert, dies, all parties are probably dividing up his power. His daughter Hei Pearl is still in the Central Plains to find out the cause of his death. Now is naturally the best time, and the one who will make the most profit should be Shi Guanyin.

"There is also Mr. Ji from Lanzhou City. He is rich. Most of Lanzhou's property belongs to him, and his house is also very big." Amu was still chattering, and Gu Lai responded casually. It is drifting farther and farther.

"Miss Si, are you there?"

Ata's voice came from outside the door, Gu Lai took off the latch, opened the door, and saw Ata's body covered in big and small bags, and he was holding a yellow camel with his right hand,

Ata said with a smile on his face, "Miss Si, I brought the sheepskin water bag, soaked jerky, and camel that you asked me to buy."

"Thank you so much." Gu Lai didn't expect Atta to prepare it for her so quickly as he said two days ago.

Ata came in to unload the things and put them in the yard. Gu Lai went into the house and poured a glass of water for her. Ata took the water with his left hand and caught her attention.

Ata is not left-handed, and after a closer look, Ata's right hand seems to be injured. These days, Ata has taken care of her a lot, and the two of them have a little friendship. Gu Lai asked directly .

Ata was a little embarrassed, Gu Lai asked her why she didn't come to see her, Ata said it was just a few flesh wounds, it was nothing serious.

Gu Lai shook his head, sighed a little, and went back to the house to get the Jinchuang medicine that he brought, and wanted to apply it to her.Atta refused but accepted Gu Lai's wish.

Gu Lai gently rolled up her sleeves, revealing a wound cut by a sharp weapon. Although it was not life-threatening, it was so deep that without good medicine, it would leave a scar.

As long as she is a girl, she doesn't want to have scars on her body.After applying the medicine, Gu Lai carefully tied the bandage, and asked casually how the wound came about.

Atta smiled bitterly and said that when he was going to get the wine, he accidentally fell down and stuck his right hand on the fragments of the wine jar, saying that Atta still felt sorry for the wasted wine.

Gu Lai was a little strange, although a jug of wine can sell for a lot of money, but Ata is not someone who would risk his life just for money.

After thinking about it, she had some guesses in her mind, and asked tentatively, "This wine is for that drunkard in your store."

Hearing this, Ata's face flushed, and she was even more shy. It's just that her face was dark, so the blush was not obvious, but she was also a girl, so why couldn't she see it? Gu Lai knew it at a glance I was right.

"You've always kept wine for him, so you don't want him to go?" Gu Lai said slowly.

Atta nodded and was silent for a long time before speaking: "I like him, but I know that he will stay here only if I keep ignoring him. Once he knows my thoughts, he will run away." far away."

Ata seems to have buried this in her heart for a long time. For three years, she has deceived almost everyone. There is sweetness and bitterness in her heart.

Gu Lai finally knew who that drunkard was, Hu Tiehua, Chu Liuxiang's best friend, unexpectedly ran into him here.

But since he is Hu Tiehua, then he is definitely not a good home for Atta, and he will not even be a good home for any woman, but the women he likes don't like him.And once a woman likes him, he will avoid and dare not face it.

It's just that Gu Lai didn't expect Atta to be so smart, he saw it early, but he also fell in love with him, so he could only hang around like this, even if he couldn't say a word, it would be nice to watch him.

Ata seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and revealed what was in her heart to Gu Lai, who had known her for only three months, perhaps because Gu Lai saw her thoughts, or Gu Lai was a girl, "I do this , is it really good?"

"Then do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?" Gu Lai intentionally relieved her, she could see that Ata was still very depressed.

"If he can stay here for the rest of his life, then I am willing to live like this." Atta's tone revealed a trace of determination.

"But you also said, it's what if. The most unbelievable thing in this world is if. I only know that in this world, there are always some men who will be the best friends but the worst lovers." Gu Lai lightly Take it lightly.

Atta's heart was shocked, yes, why would he stay here all his life, he still has friends, if his friends come to him, he will naturally leave.

Ata was in a mess at this moment, and wanted to go back and think about it. Gu Lai didn't stop her, but when she walked to the door, she said again: "If you want him to remember you all his life, don't change. Your attitude toward him."

Atta paused, bowed his head and murmured, "Thank you, Miss Si." Then he left.

Gu Lai looked at the door that had been closed again, Ata, happiness has to be recognized by oneself, you are a good girl, but you just met a bad man.
