Near the coastline, the environment is lush and excellent.

Hua Duxiuqi said: "Where is the desert? Why don't you take a carriage and make a camel cart?"

The wheels of the camel cart were specially made and much wider than the horse-drawn cart to prevent it from sinking in the sand.

Shen Lijia smiled strangely: "Don't worry, the surprise will come soon!"

The convoy traveled eastward, and after walking for dozens of miles, the green became less and less, the wind and sand became heavier and heavier, and the air became drier and drier.

Hua Duxiu had already slept beautifully, stretched out, listened to the sound of camel bells outside, and had a happy taste of travel.

Hua Duxiu opened the curtain and looked: I'll go, it's really a desert!

Originally, there was only vegetation along the coastline, but in the hinterland of the continent, there was an endless desert!

Before and after them, caravan after caravan of camels joined each other and marched forward in the desert.

The port to Mengzhong City is an important transportation route.

It was the first time Hua Duxiu saw the sea, and this was the first time he saw the desert.

"Isn't it the sea where the water is abundant, and it is suitable for plants to grow? Why is it all sand?"

Shen Lijia said: "Brother-in-law, the monsoon here blows from east to west, and the sea breeze blows along the coastline, so it can't enter the hinterland of the mainland at all. ”

Hua Duxiu: "Okay, anyway, I've been mentally prepared. ”

Hua Duxiu's so-called psychological preparation refers to the fact that he has long known that Mobei is a desert.

But seeing the desert with his own eyes, the shocking feeling that as far as the eye can see, the end of the heaven and earth is full of yellow sand, still makes Hua Duxiu full of emotion.

A gust of wind rose, and the yellow sand, which was as fine as dust, was blown away, and Hua Duxiu took a bite head-on.

"Phew!"

Hua Duxiu hurriedly lowered the curtains, her brows furrowed into a pimple.

Shen Lijia smiled evilly: "How is it, is it delicious?"

"You're so big, in the face, I'll go, it's all stuck to my neck!"

Shen Lijia handed over a folding fan: "The sun is shining in the desert, there is nothing to obstruct, and the weather will get hotter and hotter." ”

Hua Duxiu first carefully wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then wiped off the fine sand sticking to his neck, and then took the fan and fanned it slowly.

"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river! It's a little interesting, I didn't expect that there would be a city hidden in this forbidden place of birds and beasts, which is also a miracle. ”

Shen Lijia said: "No! Mengzhong City is not a city!"

Hua Duxiu was stunned: "It's not a city, what is it?"

Shen Lijia explained: "Mengzhong City is an oasis in the desert, very large! It is said that the entire oasis is nearly 300 miles in circumference, and there are more than a dozen large and small city-states. Together, these city-states are known as the League. ”

Hua Duxiu exclaimed: "An oasis with a radius of three hundred miles, so big?"

Shen Lijia nodded: "Well, because the resources in the desert are precious and it is not easy to survive, from ancient times to the present, these small cities have never fought each other, but developed together, so the whole oasis is called Mengzhong City." ”

Hua Duxiu said: "I see. Where is that Kimune?"

Shen Lijia said: "Ji Zong is in 'Sky Eagle City', Xiangzong is in 'Sand Scorpion City', brother-in-law, we are not in the same city." ”

"Well, it's not what I thought before......"

Shen Lijia said with a smile: "It's okay, although we are not together, but these small towns are not far away, ride a fast horse, and if you have something, you can meet on the same day." ”

"Okay. ”

Shen Lijia whispered and gave a detailed introduction to Hua Duxiu about the situation of the major oasis of Mobei and the League.

Hua Duxiu listened to it with relish, and Shen Lijia said with a dry mouth.

Shen Lijia lifted the curtain and shouted outside: "Da Zhuang, come to a melon!"

"Yes, young master!"

Da Zhuang quickly sent an oval-shaped big melon, the surface of the big melon was full of wrinkled fine lines, which was different from all the melons that Hua Duxiu had eaten in the Trapped Demon Valley.

Shen Lijia put the big melon on the cutting board, took out the dagger and opened the bow left and right, and cut the big melon into small pieces.

Hua Duxiu said: "What kind of melon is this? Why doesn't it drip water?"

Shen Lijia said with a smile: "This is a special product of the Mobei Desert, honey/juice melon! It's very sweet, brother-in-law, you can taste it!"

Hua Duxiu picked up a piece and took a small bite.

Wow, it's so sweet!

Delicious!

"Yes, yes, I'm really looking forward to Mengzhong City more and more!"

......

Five days later, in the evening, the caravan finally arrived at the oasis!

The oasis in the desert is so distinct!

Hua Duxiu once again refreshed her world view and opened her eyes.

I thought there was some grass on the edge of the desert, then vines, then trees, but it turned out to be completely different.

Poplar forests!

On one side is the endless yellow sand, on the other side is the yellow-green poplar forest, and even in the depths of the poplar forest, you can faintly see the sparkling waves under the sunset.

It is a small city, and the large poplar forest is its natural city wall. The streets are crowded with people, and although it is in the middle of the desert, it is not bleak.

Hua Duxiu hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and stretched hard.

"Cool, cool!"

In order not to eat sand, in addition to and peeing, Hua Duxiu usually tries not to get out of the carriage, and she is almost suffocated!

"Quick! find me a place to shower, I'm itching!"

Shen Lijia rolled his eyes: "Didn't we just finish soaking in the port inn, and we haven't taken a bath for five days, as for being so uncomfortable?"

Nagging is nagging, Hua Duxiu's habits Shen Lijia understands too well.

"Hey, I know a good place, let's go, let's go have a dash!"

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement. What's the name of this place?"

Shen Lijia said: "This city is the Leopard King City, the westernmost small city of the oasis. ”

Hua Duxiu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded silently.

Leopard King, Leopard King, hehe, what a coincidence......

I didn't expect to come here at the first stop.

Although the Leopard King City is small, it has everything to eat, drink and have fun.

Shen Lijia ordered the six big men to take their luggage to the inn to rest first, and he pulled Hua Duxiu and ran towards the leisure center.

This is a large courtyard with low walls and a lot of people.

Shen Lijia threw a grain of broken silver to the maid who greeted him, raised his head and said, "Go to the VIP area." ”

"Okay, two male guests~~!"

The maid roared out in a generous voice, and Hua Duxiu's scalp was numb: This woman is so biao?

Shen Lijia smiled and said: "Mobei martial arts is prosperous, everyone practices martial arts, and there are famous families in the city, so the people here are very chivalrous, and they are more than heroic. Brother-in-law, didn't scare you just now?"

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Shen Lijia said mysteriously: "Do you want to wash hot, or do you want to wash cool?"

Hua Duxiu was stunned: "There is so much attention to taking a bath?"

"Of course!"

Hua Duxiu thought for a while and said, "It's so hot, I'm used to soaking in hot springs in the Sleepy Demon Valley, let's try cold water." ”

"Good!"

The two followed the maid to turn left and right, the voices gradually thinned out, and everyone arrived at the VIP area of the leisure center.

Shen Lijia said: "Sister, find the best room and come to two cold pits." ”

"Okay boy, you two come with me!"

Hua Duxiu couldn't guess what Shen Lijia was doing, so she followed the maid to a gorgeously furnished room with an inexplicable face.

Unlike the outside, this room is low-lying and the floor is covered in white sand.

With an inexplicable face, four big men came in outside the door, and without saying a word, they dug up on the sand.

After a while, two sand pits more than three feet deep were dug into the ground.

The big man bowed and withdrew, and the sound of watering was remembered outside the room.

The maid put away the yukata and said with a smile: "The two sons, please change their clothes, if you need anything, just shout, I'll be at the door." ”

Shen Lijia said: "Got it." ”

The maid led the door out, and Shen Lijia immediately began to undress.

"Brother-in-law, don't be stunned, you see that the water is starting to bubble in the bunker, hurry up!"

The corners of Hua Duxiu's mouth grinned: "Wash in the sand pit?"

Shen Lijia said: "Yes, the sand here is the finest golden sand from the desert, do you see if this color is white? They water the groundwater from the outside, the terrain here is low, and it is a layer of sand, and the water seeps over in a while." ”

"Then, then wash it like this, don't you get dirtier and dirtier the more you wash it, and you're covered in sand?"

Shen Lijia had already changed into a bathrobe and jumped into the sand pit: "No!

Hua Duxiu saw that water was gradually seeping out of the sand pit, so she had to change her clothes and carefully enter the sand pit.

"Huh, so cool?"

Shen Lijia said with a smile: "This water is originally the groundwater that comes out of the dark river, which has penetrated through layers of golden sand, and the temperature is lower. ”

The water outside kept watering, and the water level of the sand pit in the room was getting higher and higher, and Hua Duxiu and the two were lying on their sides in the sand pit, and the water surface was just up to their necks.

Hua Duxiu sighed: "I can play, I can play!"

Shen Lijia smiled: "There are many interesting places in the oasis!

"Good. ”

The water in the underground river is cool and slippery, and it is obviously rich in many minerals.

As Shen Lijia said, the sand here is very special, it seems to be a lot heavier than ordinary sand, not only does it not stick to the skin, but it also has a special feeling of comfort when you grab it and rub it on your body.

After soaking for a while, after washing and changing into clean clothes, the man outside stopped watering, and the water from the sand pit in the room slowly seeped into the ground and disappeared.

Shen Lijia introduced: "These golden sands, every time a guest washes them, they will be dug out and thrown outside to be re-exposed, and his sand bath is very particular." ”

Hua Duxiu nodded: "There is a set, there is indeed a set." ”

Shen Lijia touched his stomach: "Grandma's, I haven't eaten big meat for five days, and my stomach is hungry." Let's go for a big meal, a big meal in the desert!"

Hua Duxiu was radiant: "Okay, whole up!"

Shen Lijia smiled secretly: Brother-in-law, when you see what a desert feast is, I see if you can still get excited, haha!
