I saw that his whole body was swollen as thick as an arm, bulging one after another, as if there was only air intake and no air out.

She had seen him peel off his skin, and she was quite distressed when she saw him uncomfortable.

She didn't seem to be able to do anything but company, so she hummed a little tune softly to comfort him!

Tonight was spent in anxious waiting, and she just closed her eyes, squinted for a while, and woke up again.

Finally staying up until dawn, Xiao Jinbar's breathing seemed to be much smoother, and his body was shining.

She reached for a pinch, and a small golden snake slipped out of it, but the shell was transparent.

The peeling was successful, but he hadn't woken up yet, and she knew he would have to rest for a few more days.

Riding on their horses, the women wrapped their heads in turbans to protect their skin from the sunburn.

Now the temperature has reached more than 20 degrees, and in just a few days, it seems as if they have gone straight from winter to summer.

Walking here, look up at the desolate Gobi Desert, with deep ravines and the occasional pond that has not dried up.

Until the evening, there is a tall mud tower in front, and if you look closely, there is an irregular city wall, which is about 100 meters long from east to west.

"Hey, what's that up there?" Mo Yan stretched his neck to see that there was a big eagle on it.

The eagle was motionless like a statue, but on closer inspection, its neck was stretching and contracting.

"It should be in Fengdu." Bai Li turned back to her and said, "There are camels here, there is food. ”

"Fengdu!" Mo Yan hadn't slept much at the latest, although she was a little tired, but when she saw Fengdu in front of her, she smiled.

There are government offices, temples, residential areas in Fengdu City, and a tall pagoda stands in the most prominent position in the city.

There are wooden planks scattered on the ground with beautiful carved patterns.

"Fengdu, the origin of this name, is because of the abundant resources here, but with the decrease of rain, it has long since declined!"

Although Bai Li had never been here, he knew that Fengdu was a very prosperous place twenty years ago.

This is a necessary place on the Silk Road, and wealthy merchants from all walks of life come here to rest.

Mo Yan really wanted to ask the ancient country of Loulan, are these small countries still there?

But this is not a historical country after all, and of course there will be no such small states.

"Then do you know why the desert is short of water? Why did it dry up? She asked questions like a curious baby.

"This?"

Bai Li said with a smile: "If there is no water and plants, it will quickly degenerate into a piece of gravel, plus the reason for the lack of rain!" ”

"In fact, desertified deserts are a product of an arid climate, and there were deserts on the earth long before the advent of humans. The arid and semi-arid regions, which were already dry and windy, are now ravaged and the vegetation destroyed, with less precipitation and stronger winds, strong winds eroding the topsoil, increasing the amount of sand and slowly developing sand dunes. ”

"Xiao Yan, you know a lot!" Bai Xue looked at the Fengdu City in a good mood, and finally could rest for a few days.

"Also, in order to solve the fuel problem, they cut trees and grass indiscriminately, regardless of the consequences."

"yes!" Bai Li sighed.

"If you want to stop this desert, you can only plant it where there is a water source, otherwise the process of wind erosion and desertification will not stop automatically, but will intensify the development."

"Makes sense." Mu Shaohua couldn't help but applaud her.

It's just that it's easy to say, but it's hard to do!

They are a foreign race, and they live by herding herds, and they have no fixed place to live.

Who will stay in such a place for planting?

The city of Fengdu was indeed defeated, and when they led their horses in, the ground was covered with yellow sand.

In less than a hundred years, the yellow sand will flood this place, annex the outside of the plug, and attack the Central Plains.

As the climate changes, the windswept yellow sand quietly moves, prompting the desert to become more and more extensive.

There are many camels in Fengdu City, standing or sitting under the city walls, and some people are still bargaining with the boss.

The people here wear coarse cloth turbans, similar to those of the Persians, with the men having a mustache and the women covering their faces with turbans.

Most of them are big-eyed, have a special ethnic style, and there are also food sellers, and there are also clothes sellers on the beach.

"Huh!" Mo Yan saw two little girls over three years old in a half-meter-tall wooden cage, and the two girls looked exactly the same.

"Is this a child sale?" Bai Xue was also quite curious, and she shook her head in surprise.

"Well, anything can be traded in this Fengdu City." Char admired Mo Yan's bold personality.

"Oh my God!" Can she say that human trafficking is a crime?

Obviously not, because this is not China.

The further you go, the more wooden cages there are, and they are all sold by girls.

There are actually teenage girls who sell them, although they are not smart enough, but they can still have a child or something.

"Forgive their ignorance, O Lord Almighty, and spare these children!" Xue Mingyu never married in her life and failed to have a child of her own.

She couldn't bear to see so many children in cages, but she couldn't help it.

"Tut-tut, these people only care about living, not raising, and can they still make money if they are sold?" Mo Yan saw a five-year-old girl in a wooden cage.

But outside the cage there was a ten-year-old boy who was holding a cake for the little girl in the cage to eat.

She couldn't help but walk over curiously, only to see the little boy glaring at her angrily.

"Who is she? Why would she be given bread? ”

The little boy choked up: "She is my sister, and my mother is sick and has no money." ”

Mo Yan was strange that she could understand his words, obviously not in Chinese, but she did understand.

She touched her arms, damn she didn't bring any money, and at this time Bai Xue took out a silver ingot and handed it to her.

"Ha, I'm really sleepy, and I met a pillow."

"Isn't it carbon in the snow?" Snow quipped.

"It's all the same." Mo Yan took a silver ingot and went over: "Hey, boss, I bought this little girl." ”

The boss obviously didn't understand, but when he saw the silver, he took it and bit it, and hurried to open the wooden cage.

The little boy burst into tears and laughed, and he quickly pulled the little girl in the cage to bend down to thank Mo Yan.

Mo Yan stretched out his hand and asked Bai Xue for a silver ingot, and secretly stuffed it to the little boy, telling him not to let others know, and to go home and hand it over to his mother for treatment.
