Chapter 838: A Thousand Miles Away
After teleporting several times, they finally saw a continuous mountain range.
At the foot of the mountain was a large grassland.
Gu Fei was delighted. The grassland was a pasture. If there was a grassland, the horses would not be far away.
She teleported with Qin'er to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that there seemed to be buildings in the distance, she quickly teleported over again.
There was a large area of houses here. Gu Fei and Qin'er walked to the door of a house. They were hesitating whether to knock on the door. A woman came out with a basin of water. Just as she was about to splash water, she found Gu Fei and the others.
The woman had two braids and her clothes were different from those of the people in the Central Plains.
Qin'er stepped forward to ask for directions, "Sister, we are lost. May I ask where this is?"
The woman glanced at Gu Fei, waved her hands, and said something in her mouth.
Gu Fei thought to herself, it's over. The language is not understood. No one knows what anyone is saying.
The woman splashed water and went in.
After a while, a man came out of the house and said something to them that they couldn't understand.
Finally, the man gestured, and Qin'er and Gu Fei followed suit. The man then waved at them. Gu Fei and Qin'er looked at each other and followed the man forward.
The man took the two to a large thatched house, waved at them, and then went in.
Gu Fei and Qin'er probably knew that the man meant not to let them in, so they waited outside.
After a long time, the man came out and waved at them.
When the two entered, they saw a carpet in the house, and an old man was sitting on the carpet.
The old man stood up and looked Gu Fei and Qin'er up and down, smiling, "Dear guests, you are from the Great Ying Dynasty."
Gu Fei thanked God in her heart that she finally had someone to communicate with. Although the pronunciation was a bit strange, it was okay as long as she could understand.
She bowed to the old man and said, "We came from the Great Ying Dynasty and got lost here. I would like to ask the old man, where is this place?"
The old man also returned the greeting with the Central Plains etiquette, "Please sit down, guest."
Gu Fei sat cross-legged on the carpet, and Qin'er stood beside her in a proper manner.
The old man then said, "This is Krashar. Why did you come here from so far away?"
Gu Fei wrote down the name and said to the old man, "I came here to buy some horses. I wonder if there are any people raising horses nearby?"
The old man shook his head, "We all raise cattle and sheep. We don't have many horses, and they are all used for grazing."
"Then do you know where horses are raised?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "You want to buy Yili horses?"
He looked far away, "You have to cross this mountain, then cross the desert, and then cross the Baishan Mountain to get to Yili. Every household there raises horses."
After the old man said this, Gu Fei roughly understood where they were. She stood up and bowed to the old man, "Thank you very much."
She thought about it, and took out a box of cakes that Lian'er had packed for her from the bag on Qin'er's body and put it on the table.
The old man waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, the guest is too polite."
Gu Fei smiled at the old man, "Old man, we have to hurry on our way, goodbye."
Coming out of the house, Gu Fei and Qin'er looked up at the mountain in front of them.
The mountain didn't look high, there were no trees on the mountain, all covered with grass.
And the several high mountains in the distance were all snow-capped mountains.
The two walked for a while and teleported to the top of the mountain.
Seeing the mountains undulating, the snow-capped mountains in the distance seemed to be coated with a layer of gold under the sunlight.
