Chapter 123: Desert Ruins

After resting, the caravan continued on the road, the farther west, the harsher the environment, Tang Lin had only heard it in the storyteller's story, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew what the level of "difficulty" in the mouths of the people was.

As far as the eye could see, there was hardly a trace of green, except for the occasional Gobi stone forest, the yellow sand that could not be seen was endless, and the sun was shining brightly, she felt that the air in front of her was about to melt, and she was really dizzy.

"Girl, are you alright?" Xiao Wu noticed Tang Lin's discomfort and handed over a kettle.

Tang Lin took a few small sips of energy, they had been walking like this for three days, and they didn't know when it would be the end, she didn't even dare to drink more water.

"You take a few more sips, there are still two days left in Shiyan City, and we have enough water." Seeing Tang Lin's thoughts, Xiao Wu comforted that Shiyan City was the first town they would pass through after leaving Yuzhou.

Tang Lin glanced at Xiao Wu, who was only in his early twenties: "You are quite familiar, have you been with caravans before?" ”

Xiao Wu shook his head: "No, but I grew up in Shiyan City since I was a child, and then I received the favor of the young master and followed his caravan to Dahan to eat together." His tone was a little lonely, and he didn't say that he had received any favors, presumably involving some bad memories.

Tang Lin was a little surprised, Xiao Wu's appearance was almost the same as that of Dahanren, but he didn't expect it to be a different race?

There was a little strange feeling in his heart, but Tang Lin didn't ask much, just said, "What kind of place is Shiyan City?" Her head was still a little dizzy, but talking to Xiao Wu could also divert her attention.

"It was said that Rock Rock Castle was a prosperous city a long time ago, located on a large oasis of abundant water and grass, and the people lived and worked in peace and happiness. But one day, the trees began to die in large numbers, and the oasis continued to shrink, and some said that it was a curse and punishment from the gods. But no matter how much he prayed, the oasis continued to decay day by day.

Even often attacked by sandstorms, people finally couldn't bear it anymore, and kept leaving Shiyan City, and finally, the originally prosperous city became a small town, and the rest of the people struggled to survive, but the occasional caravan passed by over the years, and it was a lot better. ”

Xiao Wu seems to be telling a story, and he can't see that he has a attachment to Shiyan City, so he must be used to it.

Tang Lin couldn't imagine what a city looked like from prosperity to decay, and he was a little more curious about Shiyan City.

Mr. Qiu has been watching coldly for the past few days, Tang Lin is stronger than he imagined, even if he can see that he is unwell, he has never asked for special treatment because of the young master, everything is the same as everyone, even the maid that Xiao Wu found for her, she rarely calls, Mr. Qiu gradually recognized Tang Lin, after all, she is just a fifteen-year-old girl, it is not easy to do this.

"Girl, Shiyan City is coming!" Xiao Wu's voice was slightly excited, after all, it was a place where he was born and raised, and he still had feelings.

Tang Lin raised his head, his face was wrapped in a veil, only two eyes were exposed, and he could see from a distance the dilapidated city wall half buried in the yellow sand, flowing with the vicissitudes of time, making people feel sad out of thin air.

As I got closer, I could see clearly the ruins of the broken wall exposed in the yellow sand, and the scorching wind of the desert blew through the broken wall holes, making a whining sound, like someone crying lowly.

"These are the buildings of the original Stone Rock City." Xiao Wu's tone was calm, he had long been accustomed to such a scene, "Through this ruin, you can find the inn where you stay." ”

The caravan entered the ruins in an orderly manner, and Tang Lin found that the scope of the ruins was very large, only from the scale of view, he could imagine the prosperity at the beginning, but unfortunately all the prosperity was buried under the yellow sand, and there were some weathered white bones in the corners, and I don't know what kind of animal they were.

After walking for more than half an hour, Tang Lin saw a patch of green in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
