425 Green Forest
The town of Green Forest is called Green Forest, and it is also famous for its forests.
The area they are now in is the Western Desert in the traditional sense, with yellow sand and sand plains and Gobi everywhere. Occasionally, there are scattered trees, which are pressed low by the constant sand and twist into shape.
It was bitter winter when they arrived, and the temperature was very low. The small amount of water in the air was frozen into the sand, so that the ground under his feet was very hard and the air was extremely dry, but at last there was no sand that floated up from time to time, and it was dusty and frosty.
Greenforest is the only green state in the area, perhaps because there is a heat source deep in the earth, and it remains green even in winter, and the trees are luxuriant, and there are even brightly colored flowers hanging from the trees, which is a wonderful view.
Xu Wen thought it was a mirage when he first saw it, but as he walked forward, the temperature around him gradually began to rise, and he realized that it was real.
The companion next to him obviously realized that Jiang Wangfeng was very excited, jumped up suddenly, and shouted, "Is there a hot spring here?"
"Huh?" a few people next to him looked at him blankly, and he said excitedly, "I have seen in the book, there are places in the extreme north where the deep underground is very warm, and it will affect the environment around the ground, and all kinds of strange scenes will appear. Cold springs warm, trees grow, flowers bloom against the season...... Look, isn't it here?"
Everyone looked along the place of his finger, needless to say, almost every one of them matched the number, needless to say, it was where they were going now.
"Wow, isn't it cold in the city?"
"If we're stationed here, won't we even need padded jackets?"
"What do you think, look at this city, how beautifully it has been built, how can there be a place for us? Most of us are going farther and building more. ”
The man had a point, and the people around him nodded their heads in agreement.
At the same time, hearing the phrase "build more things", they suddenly poured out a hot current from the bottom of their hearts. Under its impact, the strange and beautiful city in front of you seems to be less attractive.
This word quickly spread among the three hundred members of the Western Desert team, and most of them had similar feelings, so they calmed down very quickly.
When we reached the city gate, although there were many people looking at the surrounding scenery with new eyes, no one shouted loudly.
They act calmly, but not all of them can be like them.
Needless to say, Green Forest Town also has to inspect the road, and three hundred people lined up at the city gate, one by one, and of course it took a long time.
Before them, another party was on its way into the city, and they had been here for a while, noisy and occasionally talking.
In the few words that could be heard, those people regarded the place where they reported as a place to be stationed, and they were overjoyed and excited.
As the men talked, one turned their head, noticed their team, and stabbed the other, and soon everyone noticed and quickly fell silent.
They're just too conspicuous......
I don't know where the team came from, but it was clear that after the same long trek as they did, they had come here, their heads and faces were all dirty, and their clothes and shoes were all thin and tattered, and if it weren't for the large enough people in the line, they might have been mistaken for beggars.
And when Xu asked them, the number of people was about the same as them, but their mental outlook was completely different.
Each of them was wearing a cotton coat – a new one.
Of course, even if they have money now, cotton clothes are a rare thing for them, and they should be cherished. So they dressed very carefully along the way, and even cleaned the previous rags and put another layer on the top of the cotton coat for protection.
Not long ago, they knew that they were about to report to the place, so they took off their outermost rags. In addition, under the leadership of Xu Wen recently, they have been maintaining good cleaning habits. Of course, it's impossible to travel without dust, but a little fresh dust is obviously not the same as old dirt......
Generally speaking, at this time, the three hundred members of the Western Desert Team were neat and clean, and their spirits were high-spirited, and they were different from the other side from beginning to end.
"This is ......" The team in front of them gradually quieted down, looking at them with strange eyes.
"Where did you come from, young master?"
"Are the scholars going to start taking the imperial examination? Are these people coming to the green forest to take the examination?"
"It's possible, it's so decent, no matter how you look at it, you look like a reader. ”
"Shall we ...... Do you have to make way for the talented masters?"
The team in front whispered a little timidly, and after a while, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, looked at them, and asked firmly, "Dare to ask which adult led the team?"
The young craftsmen have thick muscles and rough palms, and even if they are dressed cleanly, they are different from scholars, and they are easy to recognize with a little experience.
This middle-aged man was obviously the craftsman of the previous team, and he was the first to notice this.
"What about Lord Huang?" The people of the Western Desert team looked around, they followed the three craftsmen along the way, but the three craftsmen were not around, and they didn't know where they went.
"This ......" The middle-aged man frowned, his expression a little dissatisfied. The craftsman officer accompanied the serving craftsmen in order to maintain order and deal with all kinds of accidents. Now the team is here, but none of the craftsmen are there, what if something happens?
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment, our adults have something to do, so we have to arrive one step later. "Everyone in the Western Desert team has a good relationship with the three craftsmen, of course they want to help cover up.
"Who is your captain?" the middle-aged man asked without a frown.
No matter where you go to the Western Desert, the journey is very long, and you can't manage it by relying on the craftsman alone, so you must set up a captain among the serving craftsmen to assist in management.
There are usually old and new craftsmen in the service, and of course experienced old people are selected as captains.
The Ximo team came up and was divided into groups, with a group of six people, and later in addition to rushing to class, the school bully was awesome, and it was impossible for the thorn head to have the right to speak. From the beginning to the end, they didn't have any captains.
However, at this time, the middle-aged man asked about it, and everyone looked in the same direction.
The moment of hesitation before the Xi Mo team answered, the middle-aged man noticed it, and his brow furrowed even tighter. Where the hell did this team come from? Why are there no rules at all? Then the men turned their heads, and he turned his head with him, and he was stunned when he saw the man's face.
At such a young age, does it work?
Of course, there is only one person who has such credibility in the Western Desert team.
At this time, the craftsmen had not yet appeared, and Xu Wen stepped forward to salute: "Craftsman Xu Wen, I have seen adults." ”
"Where are you from?" the middle-aged craftsman didn't question him, but asked directly.
"I set off from Jiangnan Road a month ago. Xu asked.
Hearing the three words of Jiangnan Road, many people behind the middle-aged craftsman showed expressions of sudden realization.
In their eyes, Jiangnan Road is synonymous with wealth, and it is normal for the service craftsmen who came out of Jiangnan Road to wear brand-new cotton jackets.
But the middle-aged craftsman obviously didn't think so, and after hearing this, he looked at Xu Wen and the people behind him again, and his expression was even more puzzled.
Jiangnan Road is very far away from the West Desert, and it is barely enough to get over in a month. Even if the new clothes are not counted, they may have been purchased nearby, but the question is how do they maintain this state of being just out of the house?
Suddenly, the middle-aged craftsman remembered a rumor, turned his gaze, and looked at Xu Wen and the others cautiously again.
At the same time, in another corner, several people whispered, looking at the thick cotton clothes on the people of the Western Desert team, revealing greedy eyes.
