"Brother Wu's words are wrong. Another said, "If you live where the land is full of gold, the gold will be worthless, but the precious will be something else." Otherwise, the sea country would not have to trade with the outside world and exchange everything. He paused and then said, "The Sea Kingdom is just an island, and it seems that many products are not self-sufficient. ”

"Reasonable. Zhuang Nanjia turned to him and smiled, "What do you call this friend?"

"My surname is Jiao, and I am from the capital of Tuguo. What about you?"

Zhuang Nanjia was stunned: "Such a coincidence, I am also from Tu Guo, and my surname is Zhuang." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they had the kindness of their fellow villagers to see their fellow countrymen.

The guest, surnamed Jiao, asked him, "Your first time here?"

When he heard Zhuang Nanjia's voice was low, he knew that it was an old man.

"yes. Zhuang Nanjia said with a smile, "Come in and open your eyes, do some business by the way, and see if you can leave more property for your children and grandchildren." ”

When the two talked about Tu Guo, they seemed to be equally familiar. In the end, the guest surnamed Jiao left the address of a shop in the capital of Tuguo.

Foreigners who can enter the country of Tibet are either rich or expensive, and it is also a great opportunity to expand their networking.

They were chatting, while others were watching.

The group has walked three miles along the Golden Road, and there are more and more houses on both sides, full of exotic customs. There are woods and houses, and local residents can be seen everywhere.

As the seafarers observed them, they also cast curious glances.

Curious, and friendly.

After all, the last time a foreign visitor from the Hidden Country visited was five years ago.

Two children suddenly jumped out of the grass on the side of the road, chased and fled, and crashed into Zhuang Nanjia. They were all about four or five years old, and they collided like small steel cannons, Zhuang Nanjia was hit and stumbled, and almost fell to the ground on his back, Dou Ya quickly supported him with his eyes, and stretched out his hand again, stopping the boy who rushed to the front: "Don't run around." ”

Immediately afterwards, the child's parents also ran over, nodded their heads when they saw this, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is disobedient and bumps into you, we will punish him!"

Before Zhuang Nanjia could say "no", the child's father had already slapped the boy in the face with a backhand.

There was a crisp "pop", and five red fingerprints floated on the child's immature face.

The father was so energetic that he didn't spare his hand at all, and slapped his son's face crookedly.

The boy froze for a moment, and then burst into tears, his cheeks swollen at a rate visible to the human eye.

Parents are willing to put down such a heavy hand? Everyone frowned, and Dou Ya was dumbfounded: "This, this?"

"Bitter Master" Zhuang Nanjia waved his hand again and again: "Okay, okay, I don't blame him." You are also ruthless. ”

The parents immediately breathed a sigh of relief and were full of gratitude: "Thank you, you are really good people, the gods will bless you!"

The child's mother took the two babies into her arms and whispered comfort.

Gradually, the child's crying became smaller and smaller, and she turned her head to blame her husband: "The guests don't care, you are too heavy, if our children are lucky enough to be ignited, I see you ...... in the future."

Before she finished speaking, her husband glared at her: "Can your prediction be accurate?"

The wife pursed her lips and said no more.

Dou Ya couldn't see it, took out a small bottle and handed it over: "Apply it to relieve pain and swelling, and the palm print can fade as soon as possible." ”

The child's mother took it gratefully and thanked her very much.

Yan Saburo didn't say a word and looked at it from the side, only feeling weird. When he met Zhou Xianyi, the little bully of the Zhou family in Hongmo Valley, he was spoiled by the family and lawless, and the parents on both sides couldn't say half a "no", but the family in front of him was the other extreme.

Such caution seems to be afraid that the guests from the sea will blame, so he first gives the child a heavy hand, so that the other party is not good and then picks and blames.

What is it that makes the couple cautious?

Dou Ya heard the new word and asked curiously: "What is Dianhua?" Is that the meaning she understood? This word is a bit too mysterious for ordinary people, right?

The young parents waved their hands: "Nothing, nothing." After that, he apologized to Zhuang Nanjia again, and went back with the two children.

Yan Saburo and the others also continued to move forward.

Jing Qing scratched his chin: "Is it a delusion, they seem to be afraid of us?" The smiles of the young couple were indescribable, with trepidation, as if there was still flattery.

Zhuang Nanjia waved his hand: "They haven't seen anyone for a few years, maybe in their eyes, we overseas guests with fangs are more scary than anything else." ”

Yan Saburo suddenly said: "We are all dressed the same. ”

It is also a gold mask and a black robe. Good guys and bad guys.

What have these locals experienced to be so afraid of seafarers?

Zhuang Nanjia sighed: "You must know that in isolated places, legends are always more and more distorted, and in the end, they have changed their faces, and they have long been separated from the truth by 108,000 miles. ”

The guest surnamed Jiao also said: "In our world, the legend about the Hidden Kingdom is also divine. ”

Dou Ya glanced at the house on the side of the road a few times: "I still want to know what 'pointing' means." Do you know?" asked Jing Qing in the last sentence. Among this group, he is the one who knows the most about the Hidden Nation.

Jing Qing immediately shook his head: "I don't know." My grandfather has only been here for less than half a month, so how can he know everything?"

They walked along the golden road up the hill, and after a few miles they reached the crossroads. There was already a smiling waiter standing here, leading everyone to take another flat road.

This road leads to the valley to the north.

Further north, the number of houses decreased, and the buildings gradually became taller and more ornate, and finally there were clusters of palaces, which could not be described by their splendor. Jing Qing's grandfather was right, the mansion here often uses precious stones to build walls and pools, Yan Saburo saw a jade pool, the pool water is of course transparent and colorless, but the pool wall is made of transparent jadeite.

In the outside world, such a large piece of jade can make a family of five eat and drink for ten years. But here, it's just a decoration for piling up pools.

Then, they arrived at the largest and most luxurious palace in the valley: Zhu Xianlou.

Yan Saburo has traveled south and north for so many years, and he doesn't even know how much he has seen in the Huating of Shengyi, the capital of the country, but there has never been a building similar to what he is looking at.

The palace complex is fifteen zhang (forty-five meters) high, and its exterior walls are bright red. Needless to say, it's beautiful, and the shape is also very distinctive. Viewed from above, it resembles a blooming bird, and the five groups of palaces form five petals, connected to each other head to tail.

The waiter leads the crowd through the tall arch and through the straight cloister into a vast open-air atrium.

This atrium is also the center of the bird's tree, with jungle pavilions, small hills and clear springs, jungle shades, one step at a time, and even a large maze and lake, which is a good place to rest and play.
