Azhi and the others stopped and walked along the way.
The road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou City was made of cement and there were many merchants coming and going.
They would encounter one from time to time among those caravans carrying cashmere and suet soap.
They took the south road this time.
There was also a road from the north, but it was a bit detoured.
They had to go from Chang'an City to Lishi County first, and then from Lishi County to Liangzhou.
The road to the north is not deserted even in winter.
In late autumn and early winter, there are many local merchants coming south from Hedong Road to sell agricultural products.
At the Chengzhou Market in the north of Guannai Road, the imperial court transported a large number of canned mutton southward every year.
For this transportation, it was inevitable to send some corvees, most of which were local people in Guannai Road.
There are also some merchants and hawkers who sell cashmere and lanolin soap.
Every year after winter, they also walk in the middle and north of Guannai Road, as well as the east of Longyou Road.
Luo Yong used the cement road paved by his disciples.
Businessmen and pedestrians come and go incessantly.
Azhi and the others walked from the beginning of autumn to the depth of winter.
After passing Liangzhou City, there were far fewer people.
The most difficult walk was when they were crossing Nayanzhi Mountain.
After passing Yanzhi Mountain, the road became much smoother, but everyone in the caravan was very wary, saying that they were afraid that thieves would come out and rob money and goods.
When Azhi heard this, he was also a little scared, but fortunately they were on this journey.
With no luck, we finally arrived at the sandbank at the beginning of spring.
When passing through Jinchang City, Azhi also saw a wooden rail carriage.
This kind of wooden rail carriage is also found in Chang'an.
The wooden rail carriage in Longxi, whether it is a track or a carriage running on the track, is much better than the one in Chang'an.
The ones over in Chang'an City look much simpler.
Azhi and the others were really tired from walking all the way, so they naturally wanted to take a wooden carriage.
However, there were many horses and camels in the caravan, which was not easy to deal with, so they finally decided to come together.
They were walking on the post road next to the wooden track, watching the carriages coming and going on the track, running very fast.
Both sides of the road are often large stretches of deserted rocky beaches.
Occasionally, they pass through some village farmland.
Farmers have already begun to tend the fields.
There are also some farmers picking stones on the deserted beaches, as if they want to carve them out for use.
Plant the white folded flower.
I heard that the white folded flower can grow in all kinds of fields, even the saline-alkali land that does not produce food.
On the Changle County side, Luo Yong and the others heard from the traders who came by wooden carriage that the team of tea merchants coming from Chang'an City was about to arrive.
They also said that they saw a black Kunlun man, who must be Apu. .
So everyone left the city early to greet them.
Hengzhi was working in the machine shop.
When he heard the news, he washed his face and ran out without even having time to change his clothes.
The people in Kunlun also followed Luo Yong and the others outside the city. to greet their clan leader.
A group of people were waiting outside the city, but no one came.
The people in Kunlun ran to the higher ground to look and look, very anxious.
Finally, they could faintly see the caravan in the distance.
The Kunlun people rushed towards it with roars, shouting in a language they couldn't understand.
Chinese had already been thrown to the horizon by them.
Luo Yong and the others also came forward at this time.

Hengzhi ran to A-Zhi and helped her take the baggage on her shoulder.
A-Zhi's luggage was also in the car.
The main purpose of carrying the baggage was to put some food, copper coins and Water is not heavy.
The two people were standing face to face.
One had just walked a long journey for several months and was covered in dust.
The other had just run out of the workshop with patches of dirt on his clothes.
At this time, the two looked at each other and smiled.
It's quite right.
Luo Yong had received the letter they sent from Chang'an City earlier, and knew that Du Gou was coming this time.
He also knew that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and his walking was even more difficult than ordinary people.
At this time, Du Gou got off the donkey he was sitting on.
The young man next to him handed him a wooden stick.
He leaned on the wooden stick and walked to Luo Yong step by step.
When he came out of Chang'an City earlier, he was originally riding a big horse.
Later, the horse died when crossing Yanzhi Mountain.
It is not known whether it died of exhaustion or was frozen to death.
Fortunately, the people in the team took great care of him and supported him all the way.
They finally crossed Yanzhi Mountain and arrived in Zhangye.
The two of them bought the donkey in Zhangye.
He was first exiled last year, and then pardoned.
He traveled all the way to Chang'an City, and then came all the way from Chang'an City to Changle County.
The money he saved over the years was basically all spent, leaving only this naked body. , came to Luo Yong.
He put down the wooden stick in his hand, bent down and bowed to Luo Yi, his wide sleeves were blown by the strong wind in the wilderness, his posture was wide open and closed, and his movements were meticulous.
Luo Yong stood in front of him, silently accepted his gift, and then reached out his hand to help him up at the right time: "It's been a hard journey, let's go to the city to talk."
Both of them had red eyes at this time.
After entering the city, Luo Yong asked Apu to gather with his tribesmen.
Azhi and Hengzhi also had something to say.
Luo Yong only concentrated on receiving Du Gou.
As for their residence, Apu had previously been rewarded by the court, and Luo Yong also made the decision to allocate him a courtyard in Changle County.
When Luo Yong first came to Changle County to take office, the courtyard was still an abandoned house.
Later, it was repaired and used as a warehouse.
Because it was close to the place where the Kunlun people lived, this time Luo Yong had people move it.
The yard was vacated, repaired, and returned to Apu's name.
Du Gou and Azhi were temporarily arranged to live in the Changle County government office.
In a few days, Luo Yong would plan a wedding for Hengzhi and Azhi, and then they would be able to live in the same place.
There is also the young man who came with Du Gou.
He will temporarily live with Du Gou in the county government office and can also take care of Du Gou's daily life.
There are also people who work in the county government, but most of them are cooks, sweepers, and washers.
There are very few people who specialize in serving people.
They mainly bring them themselves like Huang Xiancheng.
Luo Yong No one has ever bought from here.
When the two were alone, Du Gou solemnly bowed to Luo Yong, and Luo Yong solemnly accepted it.
After the ceremony, Luo Yong helped him to the wooden couch, and the two of them drank tea and talked across the low table.
Luo Yong said that Du Gou came at the right time.
He had wanted to build a water conservancy project in Changle County early in the morning.

He had asked county officials to inspect it several times before.
Now he has saved a lot of money and silk.
He will wait till this year.
After the autumn harvest, he planned to start construction.
For a small county like Changle County with a small population, this is really a big project.
The cement workshop has now started to produce a new formula of gray cement.
By the autumn of this year, it should be enough to build canals.
"After some time, I will ask the county officials to tell you the results of their survey in detail.
Then you can go up the mountain to have a look.
It is up to you to decide how this canal will be repaired in the end. " "There's no need to be anxious.
You just have to take good care of yourself during these days.
If you don't have enough money, just ask for it from my teacher."
As Luo Yong spoke, he moved a wooden box down from the shelf next to him and handed it to Du Gou across the low table.
Du Gou opened it and saw that there was a box full of copper coins in it, with the copper coins also covered with Several large and small silver cakes and silver nuggets.
Du Gou also laughed after hearing Luo Yong's words and seeing the box of money.
During the previous journey, he was also a little uneasy, wondering what would happen after meeting Luo Yong.
As a result, Luo Yong not only received him warmly today, arranged a way out with him, but also came out with a box of money in his arms.
"The disciple accepted it."
Du Gou said with a smile.
"Just accept it with peace of mind and don't tell your senior brothers, lest they say I'm partial."
Luo Yong said jokingly.
All of his disciples can now make money, and some of them even have more wealth than Luo Yong, so why would they covet the new junior brother's box of money?
It's just that a new junior fellow student with a high background appeared for nothing.
At this time, everyone was still a little awkward and didn't know how to get along with each other.
Today's reception banquet was held at a restaurant that was newly opened last winter.
This restaurant was large enough and the food was delicious.
Luo Yong had sent people to book the banquet early.
At this time, everyone washed away the dust and came forward one after another.
Go to a banquet.
When it was getting dark, Du Gou changed into clean clothes, rode his donkey, and was led by the accompanying young man, and went to the banquet with Luo Yong.
In order not to make Du Gou look special, Luo Yong also rode out five pairs that day.
He usually does not ride on weekdays.
Changle County is only so big in total.
From here to there, he has to walk on two legs.
It only takes a few steps to walk.
Luo Yong had no one to lead the donkey.
Qiao Junlin was walking beside him with his sleeves folded up.
He didn't let Luo Yong lead the donkey, and Luo Yong didn't let him lead it either.
Wu Dui is a bully and fears the strong.
He is very carefree in this small county town.
After being punished by Qiao Junlin several times, he becomes very honest in front of him.
At this time, he will go wherever Qiao Junlin points him.
He is very hardworking and obedient. .
A few of them were walking on the street when they saw someone coming out with a ladder from the shop next to them, holding a burning stick in their hand to light a lantern hanging under the eaves.
Du Gou originally thought it was just an ordinary lantern, but he didn't expect that after the lantern was lit, it was not visible at first, but after a while it became brighter and brighter, and finally the front of the shop was illuminated brightly.

At this time, I turned around to look at the street in front and behind.
I saw many shops coming out to light fires.
Some had ladders to climb up.
There were also some switches screwed on the wall below.
There were also some women and children who came out to watch.
People light lamps.
Du Gou and the others stopped like this on the street and watched for a long time.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the lanterns on both sides of the street were lit up.
The firelight in those lanterns became brighter and brighter, gradually shining in front of their eyes.
The streets were all illuminated, and even a thin crack in the concrete pavement under my feet could be seen clearly.
"What kind of lamp is this?"
Du Gou said in surprise.
"This is a biogas lamp."
Luo Yong replied with a smile, with a hint of pride on his face. gd1806102:
