Li Guanshi was also ingenious, and took out two bolts of not very good silk cloth from the luggage, which were brought by the two bandits when they wanted to sneak in.
In order to make a good appearance, they each brought ten bolts of cloth at that time, but unfortunately they couldn't do well in the performances, and the quality of the silk cloth they brought was mediocre.
They were sent back to Yumen Pass, but their belongings remained and were confiscated by them.
Naturally, this male is their Miss Man.
Steward Li said that the two bolts of silk were the cost of their motorcade's accommodation in the village, and the old man pondered.
The villagers stared at the old man with piercing eyes, wanting to answer for him. Two bolts of cloth were enough, which could be exchanged for a lot of wheat, and even more for highland barley.
The old man shook his head, motioning for another horse.
Li Guanshi pondered for a moment, then took out a horse and said: "You can add another horse, but our master wants to live in a good place, and we have to live together or nearby, so we can't separate them."
The old man looked at Zhou Man and the others at the side, and nodded in response.
Li Guanshi just smiled, and knew that they probably didn't have much delicious food here, and the cooking skills might not suit the taste of the masters, so he decided to go back and exchange silk cloth or tea for some food, vegetables, meat, etc. Something for Mrs. He to make.
Manager Li led Wei Xingren to instruct the guards to arrange the people up and down, and Man Bao and the others followed behind to join in the fun, mainly listening to them and listening to Wei Xingren's translation, and then they followed suit.
The old man was very interested in the few people who were babbling, he smiled, and after arranging for the others, he led them to live in his house.
He said that he is the head of the village, and the house he lives in is the best in the whole village. On the left and right sides of his house are his two sons. Besides them, there are two other guests living in the house. If they want to learn You can learn from those two guests, he said approvingly: "That guest is very good, he understands everything we say."
Wei Xingren: ... It seems that he doesn't understand. If adults want to learn, wouldn't it be more convenient to find him
The old man had already happily pushed the yard away, and shouted into it: "Eminent monk, eminent monk, a guest is here."
Man Bao and Bai Shan raised their heads and looked at the person who came out of the room in shock.
Zhiren was also surprised for a moment, and then smiled, "It turns out that it is Lord Zhou and Lord Bai, and they are destined, please come in quickly."
Although the old man couldn't understand Chinese, he could understand the expression and was pleasantly surprised, "How many do you know?"
This question was directed at the eminent monk, Zhiren smiled and said: "It's an old acquaintance, these little friends are friends of the poor monk when he was in the old place."
The old man became more polite to Zhou Man and the others, warmly invited them into the house, and then shouted at the rooms on the left and right, trying to call out the grandchildren who were still at home to make milk tea for them.
It’s just that most of the people in the village went to the entrance of the village to join in the fun and share the guests, and so did the children, so he only called out a two-year-old baby who could only walk when he stumbled. .
elder:…
Man Bao suppressed a smile, stepped forward and hugged the child in his mouth, took out a piece of candy from the purse, crushed it and put a little bit into her mouth, the child stopped immediately after tasting the sweet taste.
After sucking, she looked at Man Bao tearfully.
While giving her sweets, Man Bao asked Zhi Ren curiously, "When did Master come to the Western Regions?"
Zhiren smiled and said, "It's been two years."
Man Bao was in high spirits, "Master, is he on his way back now, or did he just come here?"
"It's the return journey now, but I heard that there are many robbers on the way, so I plan to stay here for a while, then turn to Xizhou, and go back from Yizhou on the grassland."
Bai Shan was startled, and asked: "Isn't Xizhou the same as Gaochang, the master wants to go back?"
Zhiren explained: "I came from Qiuci. I originally wanted to take this commercial road to go back through Yumen Pass. Who knew that horse thieves were rampant in this section, so I decided to detour to Xizhou, and from there I found a caravan to go to Yizhou. Arrive in Toyosu and then go south."
That too goes too far.
Zhiren looked at them and asked with a smile, "Why did you guys come to the Western Regions?"
Man Bao explained the smallpox in Xiazhou.
Zhiren was stunned for a moment and then said: "So that's the case. No wonder the road was relatively stable when I came here, but now it's chaotic. Smallpox... Is Xiazhou a big loss?"
Man Bao nodded.
Zhiren sighed in his heart, and then wondered, "There is a prescription for treating smallpox in the Western Regions? I don't know where the news came from."
Man Bao said: "It's not a cure, it's a preventive vaccination."
She said: "We have tried it. Human pox can be vaccinated, but the risk is higher. I heard that vaccinia is safer, but we don't know how to inoculate it. We can't always ask people to try it, so I want to come here. Please teach me a thing or two."
Zhiren is not very confident, because he has never heard of this method.
Bai Shan was a little curious, "Has Master traveled all over the Western Regions?"
Zhiren smiled wryly, "I have traveled all over the Western Regions. I have a good friend who went to Tianzhu many years ago to obtain the scriptures, but he never came back. It just so happens that I have many puzzles about the "Lianhua Sutra" So I wanted to go back to his path, to solve doubts and find him, but we only came to Khotan Town, where Little Bolu and Dabolu were fighting, and Tubo was also involved, so we couldn’t get through. "
Although there are customs clearance documents, Tubo and Xiao Bolu also believe in Buddha, but they would rather detain him than let him pass.
He worked hard for half a year, but Da Bolu was willing to escort him there, but he regretted it temporarily, and finally sent him back to Yutian Town, thinking of borrowing troops from him and Dajin, but Yutian Town was not peaceful , because when Tubo intervened in the affairs between Xiaobolu and Dabolu, it "accidentally" occupied all three places under the town of Khotan, and took all the tribesmen captive to Tubo.
Zhiren saw that the weather was not right and the matter was unstoppable, so he quietly left Khotan Town with his disciples, crossed Kucha and wanted to return to the Central Plains.
It's just that there are many believers in Buddhism in the Western Regions, especially in Gaochang, no, now it's Xizhou, especially in this area, from the nobles to the poor all worship Buddha, so he simply preaches Buddhism all the way, and walks all the way back, so he walks slowly After a while, when they got here, they were robbed by horse thieves.
Zhiren looked at Zhou Man, pondered for a moment and said: "The poor monk has something to ask Zhou Man."
Man Bao hurriedly said, "Master, please tell me."
Zhiren got up and asked her to go to the guest room to have a look.
Jie Chen was injured, which was also one of the important reasons why he decided to go to Xizhou. The horse thieves on this road were too cruel.
Jie Chen was lying on the bed, Man Bao lifted the quilt and took a look at his wound, a huge wound stretching from shoulder to waist was on his back, it had been treated, and some green medicinal materials were applied on it, Man Bao sucked it The nose smelled that it was medicine to stop bleeding, but it should be the reason for insufficient medicine, and the wound has deteriorated.
Zhiren said: "This is a knife wound. There is also an arrow wound on his leg. The arrow is poisonous, but I don't know what kind of poison it is. I tried to detoxify it, but it didn't work, so I still need to be a benefactor."
