After a few days of walking, the scenery on both sides of the road has changed from a barren wilderness to a Gobi desert. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the evening, under the sunset, the vast land presents a red and yellow color, which is dazzling and exciting. Lu Lianshan and others walked on the road, even if they met the yellow-shirted people, they just pretended not to know, as long as they didn't come forward to interfere, Lu Lianshan and the others pretended to be regular business trips, and did not come forward to take the initiative to talk, basically as passers-by. And 'Lu Lianshan' and others did find that the farther they went west, as 'Lu Dazhi' said, there were more and more people in yellow shirts. and also found that the behavior of these yellow-shirted people has become more and more elegant. It's not at all like the arrogant appearance of the yellow-shirted people that Lu Lianshan and a few people saw in the small shop in Shanyin when they first came out of the 'Demon Sect Three Mountains'. Lu Lianshan couldn't help but be curious when he saw it.

Lu Lianshan and others followed the road through the Gobi to the west, but the farther they went, the more arid they became. On this day, everyone was passing by a small village next to the main road, and they saw that this small village was completely angry. It was summer, drought and little rain, and the only cultivated land outside the village was cracked by the sun. On the edge of the village, the sparse livestock are also skinny and bone-covered. Some nimble villagers had no choice but to do some business along the roadside, entertain passing business travelers, and earn some copper plates to survive.

Lu Lianshan and the others have walked safely all the way to the west for nearly ten days, and today it is extremely hot. At this moment, it was past noon, the sun was shining, the sun was scorching, and Lu Lianshan and the others were sweating beads the size of beans on their foreheads, and they were very thirsty. As soon as they saw the pergola on the edge of the village along the road, they all stopped and entered the pergola. The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him and asked everyone in the Lu Mansion what they wanted? I only heard Lu Dali say: "Shopkeeper, let's serve a big bowl of water for each of us first." The shopkeeper hurriedly answered, turned around, and walked to the backyard with a bucket.

Lu Lianshan and the others, through this simple pergola, saw the shopkeeper hanging the bucket on the rope of the well in the courtyard. Immediately, seeing the shopkeeper, let go of the well crank, only to hear a sound of "bones", see the crank on the well, rotate for a long time, everyone faintly, heard the sound of "pop", the handle on the well, only to stop rotating. The crowd thought to themselves that it must be the bucket that had finally reached the bottom of the well. Zang Feng waited for it, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect this well to be so deep!"

And they waited a little longer, and then they saw the shopkeeper, who struggled to shake the handle of the well. Zang Feng saw that the shopkeeper was struggling, so he took the initiative to spare the pergola and assisted the somewhat elderly shopkeeper to shake the handle together. After about another cup of tea, the two of them finally shook the wooden bucket up from the bottom of the well. As soon as the bucket was exposed to the mouth of the well, the old shopkeeper grabbed the bucket handle and lifted it to the ground. Zang Feng casually glanced at the bucket, but saw that in the bucket, there was actually a bucket full of muddy water full of yellow sand! When Zang Feng saw it, he couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, can you drink this water?"

The shopkeeper carried the handle, but as if he had obtained a treasure, he protected the bucket and said to Zang Feng: "Little brother, I see that you passers-by seem to come from rich and noble families, and you really don't understand the life of the poor! Lu Dazhi and the others were already thirsty, and when they saw the shopkeeper coming in with a bucket, they hurriedly rushed to the front. But when I looked into the barrel, I couldn't help but be surprised. The old shopkeeper quickly understood the emotions of these guests, and hurriedly explained: "We have drought and little rain here, and when we dig a well, we have to dig a few zhang deep underground, and it is not certain whether we can get water." Therefore, it is already very difficult to provide you with some water to drink in this humble shop!"

Lu Lianshan, who was sitting in the distance, listened to the words of the old shopkeeper, hurriedly called Lu Dazhi and others, and explained to the old shopkeeper: "The store has worked hard, and I am really grateful to the old shopkeeper." We'll just do that. ”

So, this point family put the bucket on the ground, and waited for the sediment in the bucket to settle for a long time, and then poured the water on it into the big iron pot, and lit the dry firewood under the pot, boiled the water, and then cooled it, and then put the boiling cold water in the big hands, and served it to everyone one by one. Lu Dazhi and others, in the scorching summer, walking for half a day, have already had a dry mouth, seeing this shopkeeper is verbose, he has long been impatient, and his heart is even hotter, thinking that drinking saliva is more troublesome than eating a big meal, but in front of Lu Lianshan, he had to be silent, and no one dared to speak. At this moment, I saw that the water was brought up, and I saw that it was still mixed with yellow sand-like muddy soup just now, but now it was finally clear, and it went straight through the bottom of the coarse porcelain bowl. Lu Dazhi picked up his big wrist and drank it in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said to the shopkeeper: "Old man, another bowl!" Immediately, the shopkeeper, for Lu Dazhi, scooped a bowl of water from the big iron pot.

Lu Lianshan drank a few sips of the sweet well water in the bowl, and also sighed: "The old shopkeeper is really troublesome! This deep well water, in the faint earthy smell, is full of sweetness, and it is really rare! I just don't know, why is your township so dry?"

The old shopkeeper, seeing that Lu Lianshan's words were sincere, sighed and said, "Alas, I saw you coming from the east side of the road, and I guess you have seen you all the way. As you can see, the farther west you go, the drier it becomes. But here I am a well-known arid village, even more arid and unbearable than the west of the Saiwai. The shopkeeper paused, looked at the sky, and sighed as if he had opened a conversation: "But I think that a few decades ago, there were also fertile water and grass here, and the wind and rain were smooth, and our local villagers were also deeply blessed by God, and every family was rich." It's just that after that border war, the rain became less and less, but it was still barely surviving. It's just that in the past year, there has been more and more drought, and it took a lot of effort to dig ten deep wells, but only one of them has water, and now it is really impossible to survive. ”

Lu Dazhi drank two large bowls of water at this moment, and instantly came to his senses, and after listening to the shopkeeper's words at this moment, he asked casually: "Aren't the villagers in this village a herdsman?"

The shopkeeper said, "Alas, our ancestors must have been nomadic as well. Perhaps a few years ago, seeing the abundant water and grass here, they settled here, and gradually, they turned to farming. Over the years, he also lost his nomadic skills. It's not a place to live right now, but we can't leave it anymore!"
