Chapter 347: Silver City

The journey to Dapeng Silver City is still very long, we only have one yak, and the yaks are a little overwhelmed in the continuous rush. But every day she felt that the earlier she arrived at Dapeng Silver City, the earlier she could get the water of the holy well, so she still refused to rest, unless she was extremely sleepy, and then hastily closed her eyes for a while.

I've been in intermittent fainting, knowing that this will break people, but she won't listen.

I can't remember how many days and nights I have walked on this road, but it feels like a long, long time, and when I wake up again, I tell me every day that Dapeng Silver City is not far away, and if I walk at this pace, there will be a day and a half at most, and I will be able to reach it.

It can be seen that her tone and expression are full of joy, although she has never been to Dapeng Silver City, and the legend of the holy well is only passed on by others, but she firmly believes that as long as she can get the water of the holy well, she will definitely be able to save me.

I barely opened my eyes and looked, and what I saw was still desolation and desolation. The ancient country of Zhangxiong, really decayed, once upon a time, Dapeng Silver City is the center of Zhangxiong, but also the most important transit hub on the ancient Silk Road, all year round, spring, summer, autumn and winter, I don't know how many caravans arrive here, and leave here. There is still a day and a half away from Dapeng Silver City, and it stands to reason that we should be able to meet a lot of caravans, but what we see in front of us is gloomy.

Zhangxiong decayed, the ancient road was interrupted, Dapeng Silver City, just like an old man who stood on the plateau for countless years, after all, could not survive the pace of time and history, at the end of the glory, slowly dumped, died.

We had run out of food, we had nothing to eat, and we were in a hurry every day, but we didn't meet a single person along the way. When there was still half a day left on the journey, the yak collapsed and never got up again.

He didn't give up every day, and continued to move forward with his back on my back. I couldn't speak, but I could feel that her weak body could not bear such a heavy burden, and with every step she took, it seemed like she was going to fall.

I can't tell what was supporting this young girl, her steps were heavy as a mountain, one step, two steps, three steps...... On the road behind him, there was a row of footprints that seemed to be carved into the ground.

I couldn't help at all, the situation was getting worse and worse, I had a high fever in the fainting, and I woke up for a short time, most of the time in a state of confusion. In this state, it was impossible to judge the passage of time, and when I woke up again for a short time, I found that I could not walk every day, and she was lying on the ground, supporting my body with a felt cushion, and crawling forward little by little.

At this moment, I also seem to have a feeling of wanting to cry, I can meet and know such a person in my life, no matter what the relationship between this person and myself is, I also feel that this life is worth it.

Every day did not stop, dragging me forward and crawling continuously. The clothes on her arms were worn out, and her elbows were also worn out, and she didn't realize it, crawling all the way, and the footprints on the ground behind her were replaced by a faint trail of blood.

When I woke up again, Tian Tian was sitting next to me, looking into the distance. This time, my spirits seemed to be a little better, and although my forehead was still hot, I at least knew where I was and who I was with.

"You're awake." She looked back at me every day and gently helped me up, and the moment I saw her, I couldn't recognize her anymore.

In the days when she took me to Dapeng Silver City, she may have eaten all the hardships that she had not endured in her life. Her cheeks had collapsed widely, her eye sockets were sunken, and the bloodshot in her eyes was uncountable.

Her lips were chapped and her skin darker than before. It's just that when she looks into the distance, her eyes are full of joy and yearning.

I turned my head with difficulty and followed her gaze.

In the far distance, as far as the eye can see, the outline of a huge ancient city appears. Although the distance is very far, the ancient city is only beginning to emerge, but its magnificence, its majesty, has been unstoppable, and it can be seen in full view.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that thousands of years ago, on the roof of the world, there would have been such a magnificent ancient city. The shock is indescribable.

Qionglong Silver Castle, Dapeng Silver City, the capital of the ancient country of Zhangxiong, is already in sight.

"We're almost there." Every day seems to forget the hardships and hardships that have been endured along the way, and many people are like this, when they see the final result, the excitement and joy are enough to dilute everything, and they will no longer remember how much they have paid to achieve this result.

"Thank you for your hard work...... "I am very grateful in my heart, whether I do it every day to repay my kindness or for other reasons, it touches me.

"Needless to say, because ......" Tian Tian showed a sweet smile: "I suddenly feel that I have known you for a long time." ”

I wanted to say something, but I felt that it was superfluous.

"I'll give you something, it's a little gift."

I pulled out the silver necklace from my body, and the necklace was damaged and never repaired. This does not prevent the whole necklace from being exquisite and exquisite, it is rare to see such elegant silver jewelry on the plateau, Tian Tian is a girl after all, and when she sees this necklace, she obviously likes it.

"For me?"

"For you." I don't know how I'm feeling right now, but I know that this necklace will be with her for a long time.

Tian Tian did not refuse, the girl of the plateau, not pretentious, she liked this necklace, and I explained that it was a gift for her, and she accepted it.

She happily put the necklace around her neck, looking left and right, like a beauty-loving child wearing a beautiful new dress.

Immediately afterward, she poured the water from the bladder into a small pit in the ground, and by the reflection of the water, she looked at herself after wearing the necklace.

"It's beautiful, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life." She looked around beautifully, then carefully took off the necklace and put it in the place where she was close.

"If you like it, why don't you wear it, the necklace is meant to be worn by people."

"I'm just afraid I'll lose it." Tian Tian smiled: "As long as I take it out from time to time, I will be satisfied." ”

I was about to say another few words, but my whole face felt as if it had been peeled off, and my heart ached. Tian Tian hurriedly put the necklace away and dragged me towards the ancient city.

The ancient city is far away, in fact, there is still a distance, and this last part of the road is also very difficult to walk. When I actually came to Dapeng Silver City, I could feel a tense atmosphere. The caravans that usually come and go are almost invisible, and there are many Zhangxiong soldiers guarding the city gates.

Tian Tian and I were interrogated, and Tian Tian talked to the soldiers defending the city for a while in Zhangxiong. Later, she whispered to me that now Da Jue had ordered all the Zhangxiong people to gather together and move to other places en masse. Not only Dapeng Silver City, but also in the area under Zhangxiong's current control, all the Zhangxiong people have to migrate.

Dapeng Silver City is the capital of Zhangxiong, and now it has been controlled, and Zhangxiong people can enter, but they cannot leave at will.

If you hesitate a little every day, if you can get in or out, it is equivalent to being trapped in Dapeng Silver City. She wanted to ask for my opinion, but I was speechless, and after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth every day and whispered to me: "Now you have to find a way to get the water of the holy well, so that you can save your life, and nothing else can only be said later." ”

Every day with me into the city, before and after hundreds of years of operation and expansion, although Dapeng Silver City is not as good as Chang'an at that time, but on the plateau, it is the first big city. Many people from other places who came here have been unable to leave, and the flow of people in the ancient city is surging, taking me every day, trying to find a place to stay, but after walking for a long time, I still haven't found it. Seeing that I couldn't hold it anymore, every day I could only take me to a place full of adobe bricks in the east of the ancient city.

I can't open my eyes, but I can hear the sound of every day's talk. She settled me down, covered me with a worn-out felt mat, and said to me, "I'll go and ask for holy water now, and you will wait for me here." ”

After saying this, Tian Tian turned around and left. As soon as she left, my mind was a mess and I couldn't settle down anymore.

After a long time, I came back here every day. I was still in poor condition, I couldn't open my eyes, I couldn't speak, and it seemed that all I had left was hearing.

Talking to me every day, I can hear that there is a deep loss and deep unwillingness in her tone. She told me that because there are too many people in Dapeng Silver City now, the water source is already very, very tight, and all the wells in the city have been controlled, especially the holy well, which is more strictly guarded. In the past, devout believers came to Dapeng Silver City, and every once in a while, Dajue would give the people some water from the holy well, but now, not a single drop of water from the holy well can flow out.

"Kubrudenza, don't worry." After talking about the situation of the holy well, Tian Tian helped me cover the felt mat and said softly, "No matter what, I will get the water of the holy well." It's still daytime, there are a lot of guards in the holy well, there is no chance to start, and when it gets dark, I think the guards will be a little lax, don't worry, don't be in a hurry......"

When I heard these words of Tiantian, in my confused mind, I suddenly remembered that I met Apu Zongshen near the ruins of Dapeng Silver City, and then had a conversation with Apu Zongshen.

Apzonshen told me that he had seen Tian Tian a long, long time ago. The reason why he had seen Tian Tian was because Tian Tian stole water from the Holy Well in Dapeng Silver City. This was an unforgivable crime at the time, and after being caught every day, he was subjected to harsh criminal punishment and died a miserable death.

When I heard Apu Zongshen's story, I didn't know why Tian Tian was stealing the water from the holy well, and it was only then that I realized that she was stealing the water from the holy well just to save my life.

My heart suddenly became irritable, and I tried to dissuade Tian Tian from this thought. But the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't speak. In just a short moment, perhaps because of the anger in my heart, I didn't take a breath, and fainted again.
