Luo Lie turned over and hunched his back, preparing to speed up his journey while the weather was getting better. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look back, but saw two red light balls flying straight into the sky above the ancient city. He immediately judged that it should be a signal flare, and he couldn't help but feel nervous. The bandits did not leave the ancient city. The sandstorm last night forced them to stay in the ancient city to hide from the wind and sand, and could not successfully send signals to the distance, so the signal flare was only sent now.

It also proves that the bandits who appeared in the ancient city were just one of them, and they still had a supporter.

Luo Lie dared not stay. You should know that the desert is empty and the signal flares above the ancient city can transmit the signal far away. If the bandit reinforcements arrive, he will definitely be in trouble.

The camel also seemed to realize the danger and accelerated his pace under Luo Lie's urging.

Two hours later, Luo Lie saw a camel caravan passing by in the north of his body. First, the distance between the two sides was far enough, and second, the other party was eager to rush forward, so he did not notice Luo Lie and passed by Luo Lie.

After Luo Lie was hiding, he used a telescope to observe the team and found that the camel team had about fifty people, all of whom were fully armed. He probably saw the signal sent just now and went to the ancient city to respond. Luo Lie couldn't help but worry, hoping that Desiri and the others had already walked away and would not be caught up by these bandits.

In fact, Luo Lie is not far from the edge of the desert. He left the Tengger Desert in the afternoon that day. Although he left the desert, he was still deserted on the way. When he came to the west, he completely overturned Luo Lie's concept of distance. What touched him the most was the death of the horses he ran to the mountain.

I could already see the undulating mountains in the distance, but after walking for a whole afternoon, I felt that the distance had not been shortened and the mountains were still ahead. When it was almost dark, I finally saw someone and saw three yurts on a small grassland by the river.

Luo Lie led the camel to the yurt. Before he could enter, a fierce black mastiff rushed up to him. Luo Lie's mind instantly reflected some information about the mastiff. This is a common situation he has recently encountered. On the way, he encountered strange creatures and landforms, and relevant information would naturally emerge in his mind. Luo Lie believes that this is related to the wisdom seed implanted by his father in his body. The seed is subtly changing his body and even instilling all aspects of knowledge into himself.

Luo Lie stretched out his right hand and stared at the mastiff. The mastiff's huge head lowered slightly, his eyes were exposed, his mouth widened, and salivation flowed between his white teeth. Luo Lie's gesture changed. When the mastiff's eyes met him, his emotions gradually became quiet. Finally, he sobbed, fell on the grass, and his tail was shaking.

Two herders came out of the yurt. They were also shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. The mastiff they raised was fierce and often took the initiative to attack when they met strangers. So they immediately rushed out after hearing the dog barking, for fear that the mastiff would hurt people, but they did not expect that when they saw the scene in front of them, the mastiff not only did not hurt people, but acted extremely docile.

Luo Lie smiled friendly to the two herdsmen: "Hello, I passed by here and went to Yabulai Mountain. Because it was dark, I wanted to stay overnight." Luo Lieben did not expect them to understand his words. After all, most of the area is Mongolian people, and not many people are familiar with Chinese. He is also ready to be rejected. Anyway, he still brings a tent and bedding, and even if he is rejected, he can still find another place to camp.

I didn't expect that the man could speak Chinese. Although he was a little awkward, there was no problem with the conversation. The man said, "Please come in. Although there is a desert here, there is no desert around and there are wolves. It is very unsafe to go at night. I'd better stay overnight and wait until dawn tomorrow."

Luo Lie just entered after thanking him. At this time, three children ran out of the tent, all of whom were the children of the shepherd. They rarely saw outsiders on weekdays, and were extremely surprised to see Luo Lie visiting. Luo Lie carried some candy in his luggage and took it out for the three children to share. The three children were very happy and occasionally peeked at Luo Lie and laughed happily.

The shepherd's name is Zhahe. She grazed in this area for a living. The Mongolians were hospitality and invited Luo Lie to come to the tent to make it. His wife gave him hot hand-held meat and freshly brewed horse milk wine.

Luo Lie and Zhahe sat on the ground in the tent. The two of them had three bowls of wine. Luo Lie took the opportunity to ask about the route to Yabulai Mountain.

Zhahe smiled and said, "It's still seventy miles away from Mount Yabulai, and it's still a day." He paused and said, "What are you doing there?"

Luo Lie did not say his purpose, and smiled and said, "Do something."

Zahe said: "Recently, wars have been frequented in Yabulai Mountain, and many people have died. Even our local herders have not gone there to grazle."

Luo Lie said with concern: "Are there any bandits?"

Zhahe said, "Bandits? We are afraid of it, but soldiers. This place is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains and far away emperors. In the past, we lived freely. But since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there have been several more forces, all under the banner of democracy and freedom. But after they came, no one was fighting for territory, exploiting the people, and even bandits did what they did!" At this point, Zhahe drank the wine bowl in his hand heavily, and was extremely angry.

Luo Lie thought to himself that it seemed that the land of China was the same everywhere. The demise of the Qing Dynasty did not bring true democracy and freedom to the people, but instead brought the land of China to a new round of struggle for power and profit. In order to obtain more benefits, various warlords used all means to deceiving each other, and naturally the people were unlucky. He drank a sip of wine and said, "I'll ask you for personal information. Have you ever heard of Yan Tuojiang?"

Zahe was obviously stunned when he heard Yan Tuojiang's name. He nodded and said, "Ganbian Ningxia Guardian, who doesn't know within a radius of thousands of miles? This person is the local emperor in this area. How do you know him?"

Luo Lie laughed: "How could I know such a big shot? I just heard of this person's name so I'm a little curious."

Zhahe said: "He is not a good person. It is related to him that he keeps fighting in Yabulaishan."

Luo Lie was stunned. He was not very interested in the melee within the warlords, but Yan Tianxin is now settled in Yabulai Mountain. If this matter involves her, he will not be able to ignore it. Luo Lie said: "What kind of battle? Why did the war be fought?"

Zhahe said, "I don't know either. I just heard that a group of remnants of the Qing Dynasty came, and they occupied the mountain as king. So the General Yan sent troops to clear the mountain. Last month, a team of 5,000 people besieged Yabulai Mountain. In the end, not only did not take down the bandits, but instead suffered a backlash, with heavy casualties."

Luo Lie secretly wondered in his heart that Yan Tuojiang was Yan Tianxin's uncle. This time Yan Tianxin came here thousands of miles away to seek refuge with his uncle. Could it be that the uncle and nephew turned against each other? Luo Lie trusted Yan Tianxin's character, and she came here to seek refuge with her relatives, so she naturally would not do anything to sorry to Yan Tuojiang. But why did Yan Tuojiang, as the local emperor in this area, attack Yan Tianxin and the others? Why did he kill all his relatives and tribes who were already in trouble?

Zahe also saw that Luo Lie was extremely concerned about this matter and asked tentatively: "Brother, are you looking for someone?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I have a friend nearby."

Zhahe said: "Let me tell you, it's not that I'm talking big. There is nothing I don't know about within a hundred miles."

Luo Lie originally wanted to say Yan Tianxin's name, but he thought that Yan Tianxin had always been low-key and should not show it to others as his original identity. He thought of Zhuo Yishou, who was a Mongolian person himself. Perhaps Zahe had heard of it, Luo Lie said: "My friend is a doctor, and he is skilled in medical skills..."

Before Luo Lie could finish speaking, Zhahe interrupted him and said, "But Mr. Zhuo?"

Luo Lie was very surprised. He could not have thought that it would be so easy to find out, but this matter still needs to be confirmed. In fact, he didn't know Zhuo Yishou's real name, so he described Zhuo Yishou's appearance to Zhahe. After hearing this, Zhahe laughed and said, "It's Mr. Zhuo, I'll tell you, my youngest son had an acute illness before, and it was Mr. Zhuo who helped cure him. He is our life-savior."

The people of the grassland are already enthusiastic. I heard that Luo Lie is a friend of his life-saving benefactor, so I naturally have a closer relationship.

The agreement was made that he would personally lead Luo Lie to find Zhuo Yishu tomorrow morning. What surprised Luo Lie was that Zhuo Yishu did not live in Yabulai Mountain now, but opened a clinic in a small town at the foot of the mountain.

Luo Lie did not sleep well that night, and was always worried that the bandits would follow him. Fortunately, things did not get so bad. When it was dawn, the Zhahe and his wife prepared breakfast. After dinner, Luo Lie left the camel here, transferred to horses with Zhahe, and followed him to march towards Yabulay Mountain.

Zhuo Yishou's clinic is located at the foot of Yabulay Mountain. This small town is called Yabulay Town. It is the only way to go to Yabulay Mountain. Although the clinic has not been open for a long time, Zhuo Yishou's reputation has spread very quickly. This Mongolian doctor is an all-round saint. Not only does he treat people, but he also refuses livestock. This area was originally short of medical treatment, so Zhuo Yishou quickly became famous shortly after he came here.

When Luo Lie arrived at the clinic, the door was closed. After asking the people around him, he found out that Zhuo Yishou went to deliver the cow. When he found out the location, Luo Lie and Zhahe came to the herdsman's house and saw Zhuo Yishou in the cow's pen, with his sleeves high, and a newborn calf was lying beside the cow.
