Chapter 205: Breaking the House and Sheltering from the Wind
The sand turns over the desert yellow, and the autumn wind rises on the side geese. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoOh no, it's the summer breeze.
That's right, it's the summer breeze. It was obviously the midsummer season in June, and the junction of the three countries was like a convulsive wind, and a strong wind was blowing. Although the wind was not strong, it swept the loose sand and dust on the ground, making the sky gray. The nostrils, the mouth, the hair, the empty places were all filled with sand and gravel dust.
"Phew!" Xiong Jieba spat fiercely, wiped his mouth, black and gray, he looked at the gray sky helplessly and helplessly, and complained: "Senior brother, you said that it is also summer, the Spirit Village is full of green willows, and here is the flying sand in the sky, why is the gap so big?!" ”
"Because they have cut down all the trees." Nightshade explained succinctly, and then continued to walk with his head bowed.
The words are not rough. This is indeed the case, because it is a buffer zone at the junction of the three countries, there are no garrisons to guard, there is no landlord management, and the law and order is chaotic, and anyone can move freely here.
Originally, it was also a good place for leafy and leafy chatting, but because there was no one to govern and the surrounding residents were poor, in order to exchange for the tea, rice, oil and salt needed for life, they began to cut down the trees here.
Whether it is mature or not, whether it is a century-old tree or a small tree that has not yet grown a few circles, it is all in the bag. The old trees are taken away by home furnishings and woodcarvers at high prices, and those small trees will not be wasted, chopped into small pieces and filled into the stove as firewood.
It's really economical...
Such a large-scale, reckless, and cost-effective logging campaign only sustained a generation, and their children and grandchildren were greeted by continued endless poverty and sandstorms, until no one could bear it anymore and the smoky village was left behind......
Xiong Jieba pointed to the desolate and desolate dilapidated house in the distance, and suggested: "Senior brother, why don't we go to that house for shelter first, we haven't found it after walking for so long, so let's rest first?" "Actually, if you miss this room, you don't know where the next place to shelter from the wind is.
Looking in the direction of Xiong Jie's eight fingers, Ye Ming saw the small thatched hut that was crumbling and dilapidated in the wind, and it was better than nothing. He looked at the sky again and sighed, "Okay, it's almost dark on the left and right, and I can't find anything when my vision is dim." ”
Xiong Jieba clapped his hands happily, thinking that this workaholic brother finally knew that he was going to rest, this place would make him miserable, and he would have to wipe his face well, drink and play hot bamboo shoot soup, and then sleep well!
Xiong Jieba thought beautifully, while walking opposite with Su Ling.
This house is very honest, not a guy with different hearts and mouths, and the scene you see when you open the door is the same as the outside...... The same shabby.
The bare grey floor was covered with a layer of dust, like snow, and shoe prints would appear when stepped on; Window... It's the same as not, it's all covered in dust anyway, and you can't see anything clearly; In the corner of the wall was a simple bed made of wooden planks, with a few pieces of unknown cotton wool attached to it, still covered with dust, and a broom stood next to the bed, and then there was nothing left in the room.
Of course, for Xiong Jieba and Night Hades, such a ruin was already expected by them. And they don't mind, it's nice to have a sheltered house in the middle of the bleak desert, and what kind of bicycles do they need.
"Ahem!" Xiong Jieba waved his hand, trying to sweep away the choking dust in the air, and said as he walked inside: "Senior brother, don't come in first, I'll sweep out an open space first." ”
Xiong Jiepachi cleared an open space with the existing broom in the room, and put away his luggage before letting the night hades in.
As the saying goes, many Taoist skills do not pressure the body, if the use of aura is considered a skill, this skill will not only not press the body, but also make you as light as a swallow.
Xiong Jieba's luggage only contained some daily necessities, such as food, such as food, and food... And the rest of the things, because it was too hard to carry, were all put into the storage ring, and when needed, they came out lightly.
What the? You ask Xiong Jieba, why don't you put your food in the storage ring? Oh, in his original words: "Then how to do, the important thing is to be close to the body to have a sense of security, in case the storage ring is broken, won't my food rot in the ring?" ”
In the world of Xiong Jieba, eating is bigger than everything, and he doesn't worry about not being able to take out the spirit weapon...
took the firewood and cauldron from the storage ring, and recited the fire spirit rune at night, the spirit pattern on the rune paper was faintly glowing, and he shouted, "Burn!" He threw the rune paper into the firewood, and with a "bang", the dry firewood crackled, and the flames grew stronger and burned all of them.
Set up the cauldron, Xiong Jieba took a kettle from his backpack that could fill a five-zhang square volume, this thing is the same as a storage ring, it is a subspace thing developed with spiritual power.
The water is heated and steamed, and a few small bubbles emerge from time to time on the calm water, and steaming white smoke rises. Xiong Jieba cut the salted bamboo shoots into the pot, add green onions, ginger and garlic, at this time the water is also boiling, the blisters are boiling, rolling the tender green bamboo shoots and onion roots, as well as light yellow ginger and garlic, fragrant!
Xiong Jieba feels that the most comfortable time of the day is now~~
As the sky grew dark, the fire in the house shone brightly, and the body and heart were warm.
Xiong Jieba had two bowls of hot soup in his stomach, a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, and while gnawing on the dough cake, he asked: "Senior brother, we have been here for more than a day, why can't we find that underground prison?" Even if it's underground, leave an entrance for the people above. ”
That's right, the buffer ground is not large, and the foot strength of two people is enough to turn around in a day, but there is no trace of the underground prison.
Ye Ming thought for a while, but shook his head: "The Situ family's powerful psychic masters are no less than those in the Spirit Village, and they attach great importance to the underground prison, how can we find it easily, there must be a formation." ”
"Tricks?" Xiong Jieba guessed, pursed his lips and thought for a while, "I met the eldest son of the Situ family, he seems to be a good person, and he also saved the lives of me and Su Ling." ”
Ye Ming was stunned and asked, "Have you seen Situ Jingji?" ”
"Ah, it's called Situ Jingji to him. The last time I met me on a mission, someone attacked me and Su Ling that day, and Situ Jingsi happened to pass by and saved Su Ling. In other words, Su Ling seems to know him, and we also ate roast chicken together. ”
Ye Ming frowned, looking thoughtful, he had never heard Su Ling mention this matter, the two of them couldn't fight, how did they meet?
