"One, two, three"

From the rough and scorching sand, he searched for one local book after another, and Lu Yu was constantly silently thinking about their number in his heart.

Although these books have long been invaded by the wind and sand on the desert many times, and I don't know how many times they have been tortured by the impermanence of cold and warmth, and it is difficult to find the shadow of the past on the quaint cover, but as long as they are opened again, the words and contents contained in the books immediately jump to the front of them, as if they are newly baked, and have not changed.

As Gagara said, books are fleeting, but civilization is eternal.

The scholars of Thousand Caves City, the crystallization of the wisdom that they have pursued for generations, is contained in this seemingly unpretentious book, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.

Whether it is the ruins of the wall or the Gobi Oasis, the figures of Lu Yu and Jia Luo are constantly shuttling, welcoming the replacement of the sun and the moon, as well as the interlacing of darkness and light.

Along the way, naturally, as Jia Luo advised, if you can't find a post station, you can only sleep in the wind and eat in the open under the sun in the morning or the bitter cold in the evening.

However, the two did not complain about this, on the contrary, it was like a trip, whether it was Lu Yu or Jia Luo, they were immersed in the joy and laughter of finding books———— one step closer to success.

Compared with the impermanent warmth and ruthless wind and sand, the mutual greetings and care between the two can motivate each other more.

Looking at Lu Yu's serious search, Jia Luo was also infected, which she didn't expect, Lu Yu, who helped her find books, was even more attentive than herself.

"I'm sorry for you, Lu Yu"

Looking at Lu Yu's back in the setting sun, Jia Luo muttered to himself.

For some reason, his serious face always lingered in his mind and could not be dissipated.

"Ding! Increases Garo's opinion by 20! ”

Lu Yu, who was shaving sand, suddenly heard the voice of the system in his head, which made him quietly raise his head and look behind him.

When the eyes of the two collided together, there seemed to be a "pop" effect sound in the air, Lu Yu hurriedly turned his head, and Jia Luo was a little at a loss.

"Ahem, Garo, how's your side?"

In order to avoid such embarrassment, Lu Yu scooped out the books in the sand in front of him and walked towards Jia Luo.

"I'm okay here."

Jia Luo was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, gently pulled back the burgundy hair on his forehead, looked at Lu Yu, and showed a soft smile.

In the smile, there seems to be a faint expectation.

"Well, let me know if there's anything unexpected."

Lu Yu, on the other hand, didn't notice the special meaning in Jia Luo's expression.

"Hmm"

Dai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but soon they stretched out, and it didn't seem to have changed at all, and Jia Luo smiled lightly.

"Then I'll go ahead and look for books."

Originally, Lu Yu found a topic out of wanting to avoid putting the two of them in an embarrassing situation, but he couldn't continue the topic, which made the atmosphere between the two seem to be more embarrassing, and he had to find a reason to excuse himself.

Of course, this awkward episode didn't last long, and soon disappeared into the joy of discovering books.

From sunset to sunrise, and then from day to night, the footsteps of the two are engraved in the vast desert. Even if the wind and sand in the sky will eventually wipe out these footprints, the direction to which the footprints lead will always be remembered.

This period of time together is not long, but it is not short, but the fragments that occupy the memory, especially for Jia Luo, are not lost to the warmth of the past.

Walking with Lu Yu, Jia Luo could feel the burst of vitality and hope from him, just like the rising sun every day, bringing warm sunshine to himself every moment.

Moreover, Lu Yu knows a lot of knowledge, and even some knowledge that Jia Luo has never heard of.

Whenever Lu Yu talked about something as wonderful as if it came from the future world, Jia Luo also listened to it with relish.

This long-lost sense of warmth is like snuggling up in my father's arms when I was a child, listening to him tell stories about this continent.

Even, Garo is a little immersed in this world that only belongs to the two of them, and some are reluctant to get out.

This feeling is much more reassuring and happier than the search for oneself alone.

If one day, when Lu Yu disappears from his sight, then he will probably be sad to tears again.

It took nearly half a month, which was far less than Jia Luo's budget, and she and Lu Yu finally searched for all the books that were scattered in the desert of the clouds.

Along the way, they passed through village strongholds, Gobi oases, ruined walls, and even wild lands infested with demon seeds.

However, although there were crises along the way, there were no accidents.

The two people, carrying a full bag, returned from the scorching desert and stood in front of the Thousand Caves City again.

"Father, I don't, we're back."

Looking at the ethereal hometown standing in the ruins, only the vicissitudes of the wind rolled up from time to time, and Jia Luo's voice became a little trembling.

"Garo, now is not the time to be sad, the collection of books in Thousand Cave City, we have already collected it, and next, it is time to let Thousand Cave City regain its former glory. As a Guardian, you should be happier. ”

Walking behind Jia Luo, he comforted her softly, and Lu Yu gently patted her shoulder.

"Well, Lu Yu, these days, thanks to you."

Turning around, Jia Luo did not avoid Lu Yu's gaze, revealing a gentle and lovely smile.

A glance captivates the city, and a smile captivates the country. Jia Luo's beautiful smile looked back, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, but it made Lu Yu lose his mind slightly.

"I'm just, doing what I'm supposed to do."

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yu scratched the back of his head and smiled.

"My people, and my father, their heavenly spirits, will be grateful to you."

Garo: This is not a fallacy. Retrieving the lost collection of books is not only to find the lost civilization, but also to bring back the souls that are buried in the wind and sand and rely on the wisdom contained in the books, so that they can finally return to their hometowns.

Lu Yu not only helped himself, but also helped his own people, helped his father, and was able to realize his unfulfilled long-cherished wish.
