117 Lost Ancient City 7.0

"Cha'er chatting with the master?" Shen Haolin looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, and then at Shen Cha, "Do you have any impression?" ”

"Nope." Shen Cha shook his head, "If I knew, I wouldn't have called it eavesdropping, right?" ”

"That's right!" Shen Haolin chuckled, took a mushroom from the bowl of stew, and stuffed it into Shen Cha's mouth. "What does Uncle Yan mean, when the master used that desert flower to make the tea happy, you were just outside the door?"

"Hmm!" Yan Bo nodded, "During that time, Prince Wanyan pestered his sister-in-law and his wife more severely, and his sister-in-law was very distressed, and she was in a trance all day long, always sitting alone in the garden in a daze, not thinking about tea and dinner, Lao Xue saw it in his eyes, and his heart was also very anxious. Because we were too depressed, they chatted with us and complained that we couldn't drink alcohol in the army, so we replaced wine with tea, and discussed how to solve this problem while drinking. The reason why I went to Xiaocha was because I heard from the people in the house that Xiaocha, who had been asleep for several days, finally woke up. Lao Shen is a guy who loves his daughter and is crazy, and when he heard that his baby girl finally woke up, he immediately wanted to visit. Uncle Yan looked at Shen Cha, "That time your illness was menacing, especially scary, even the guy from Huilan said that if you can't wake up within five days, then you have to prepare for the future." Thankfully, you woke up after three days in a coma, and your dad was so happy and excited that he immediately burst into tears. ”

"He doesn't call him an old tear, he can cry bitterly, crying so much, it's just ......" Qin Zheng rolled his eyes, "That guy has a handful of snot and tears, no matter how much we persuade him, we have to cry happily." Crying happily, he didn't care what Lao Xue said, stood up and walked to the small courtyard where you lived. We saw that he was too emotional and a little worried, so we followed him and took a look at your situation by the way. Unexpectedly, as soon as you walked to the door, you heard Whelan tell you the story of the desert flower. ”

"But......" Shen Cha blinked, "I didn't see my father, nor did I see Master, Uncle and Uncle Yan!" When the master finished telling the story, he asked me to rest and leave, and not long after the master left, my brother returned. ”

"Yes!" Shen Haolin added, "I received the news that Cha'er woke up and dared to come back, I met the master at the gate of the courtyard, and learned about Cha'er's situation with the master, but I didn't see my father, nor did I see a few uncles. ”

"We'll listen for a while and leave, and you'll definitely not touch us." Uncle Yan stopped eating a few dumplings, and put the rest of the dishes into Qin Zheng's bowl, "A few of us happened to hear about the most magical place of this desert flower, so we decided to have a deeper understanding of this thing, so we went to Huilan's room to wait for him." We heard Xiaocha's voice outside the door, although we were still weak, but we could listen to the story and ask questions and answers with Whelan, we knew that the situation was stable and there was nothing serious, so we left with peace of mind. ”

"I see!" A few of the children nodded, "So, what is the magic of this ancient city and the flower of the desert?" ”

"You should have seen this map, this ancient city is surrounded by a vast desert, the sky is full of yellow sand, and you can't see the edge at a glance. But 500 years ago, it was a different story. Yan Bo took a sip of noodle soup and continued, "Five hundred years ago, this ancient city was the capital of a small country called Qian, and the territory of this country was very large. ”

"However, there is no record of this country in any history book." Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian glanced at each other, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that there was such a country in history." ”

"I've heard of it!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing raised their hands at the same time, "But it's not the official history, it's the wild history!" ”

"That's right!" Jin Jing nodded, "There are several wild histories with relatively high authenticity, which mention this country, but they are only mentioned in passing and do not go into details. ”

"There are many countries and dynasties that have not been recorded in history for one reason or another, and only a small number of them can be recorded in history. These forgotten countries and dynasties have slowly become a legend, and stories about them are only circulated among the people. Yan Bo sighed softly, "Although the country is large, nearly half of it is desert, so you can't grow those crops and you can't live in people. And the population of this country is not very large, according to Whelan, the sum of the population of the three Xijing cities is the total population of the country. ”

"Not much, indeed!" Shen Haolin nodded, "This country is sparsely populated, what do they rely on to live?" ”

"This has to mention a major feature of the country, although the terrain is treacherous and the population is not large, but the people are rich."

"Having money isn't a feature, is it?" Xue Ruitian pursed his lips and said disapprovingly, "Our Great Xia is also very rich, but we are a little poor, you look at the rich places in Xijing City and Jiangnan, they are all rich!" ”

"It's nothing compared to others." Qin Zheng smiled, "I've also seen the world, but when I saw the appearance in that ancient city, I was also surprised!" ”

"Lao Qin is right, our wealth is not at the same level as other people's wealth, and it cannot be compared. This country has an alias, called the Golden Country, which is full of gold, and every family is rich. The books that Whelan brought back from that ancient city tell the story of gold, and the people of this country, whether they are royal relatives or common people, from the day they were born until the day they died, had at least a hundred taels of gold every day without having to work. Therefore, the people there do business, open restaurants, or make a living, not to make money, but because they are too rich, and their lives are too boring, and they have nothing to do. ”

"My mother, this is the life I yearn for!" Xue Ruitian looked envious and sighed, "These people are just lying on the golden mountain and sleeping!" But why is this happening? Isn't that half of the yellow sand yellow sand, but gold? ”

"No one knows about that." Yan Bo shook his head, "Those books don't explain why the people of the Kingdom are so rich, this is a mystery that can never be solved." Rich and free, doing business is just to kill time, but always doing business is also boring, they came up with a new way to play, today the Zhang family gave birth to a little doll, you can celebrate for three or two days, tomorrow the eldest son of the Li family will get married, and celebrate for a few more days. As long as they are famous, they can get together to eat, drink, and have fun. ”

"It's also a very cheerful group of people, entertaining themselves, which is good." After eating, Shen Cha put down his chopsticks and picked up the teacup to drink tea, "It's just that the country is so rich that the surrounding countries are not greedy?" There must be a lot of people who are worried about their wealth, right? ”

"It's futile to worry, and you can't find the specific location of this country at all." Qin Zheng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief for Yan Bo, "And, don't forget, this country is in the middle of the desert, except for the dozen or so cities that can be inhabited, all other places are yellow sand." It is very difficult for their own people to get from one city to another, not to mention the newcomers, who are not sure of the direction at all. If you are not careful, you will lose your way in the desert, and unless you are lucky enough to meet a well-wisher to guide you, you will be left in the desert forever. ”

"Those surrounding countries are not stupid, they will not do this kind of thing that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources and cannot get any cheapness." Yan Bo nodded, "If you are lucky enough to find the country, you may not be able to take away the gold, although people have no quarrel with the world, but they don't necessarily have no force at all, and they are bullied by others, right?" Therefore, it is not worth looking for and robbing at all, and if you have that time, it is better to fight to the death with your mortal enemy! ”

"That's just as well!" Shen Cha nodded, "The people of their country should also know their weaknesses, entertain themselves, have no desires, in addition to being too rich, probably also know that maybe one day, their home and their country will be buried by yellow sand, take advantage of this day to enjoy as much as possible, as much as possible." ”

"Xiaocha is right, almost three hundred years ago, one night, except for the ancient city we see now, the kingdom disappeared without a trace overnight. According to the accounts of those who survived, there were no less than ten violent movements in the desert that night, and then there was a very strong wind, and the yellow sand was flying all over the sky, so that people could not open their eyes at all. If you want to run out of the house to escape, it is simply impossible. The survivors recorded the events of that night, and they said that all the cities were sinking, including the only remaining ancient city, which was not in its original position. ”

"This is a natural disaster!" Shen Cha sighed, "After that disaster, those who survived by luck should not live long." They had no food, no water, only gold. But that gold can't be eaten......" she shook her head slightly, "Sure enough, when it comes to the edge of life and death, gold and jewelry are the least valuable." ”

"Because this ancient city is the capital, the palace of the lord of the kingdom is in this city, and the palace is stored with a lot of food and some drinking water, and the surviving people in the city rely on these things for a while, and they go out every day to find a way out of the desert, but every day they return in vain. Therefore, it lasted for almost three or two months, and the country completely disappeared. ”

"What about the Desert Flower?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "I didn't mention this magical flower before, could it be...... Did this desert flower suddenly appear after the disappearance of the country? ”
