Chapter 66: A City Within a Desert City

Jiang Yuan washed his face by the stream, and by the way, he used the cold water here to ice his eyes, and I always felt as if his eyes were burned by something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rat was still jumping up and down on the pile of stone carvings, not knowing what he was doing, but he seemed to be happy.

And I once again played the role of a man and a nanny, setting up a tent and lighting a fire to cook.

The ornaments in our backpacks were all compressed, and I threw the backpack down when I climbed up, so I rummaged through his backpack, and there were a few sausages in it, which I unceremoniously took and requisitioned.

There were fish in the brook, but they were strange-looking, with a large head and a small body, and a silver body, and they were very beautiful, and they were very stupid, and when I did not move in the water, I could easily catch them if I reached down and went down, but I did not dare to roast them as a dish, for I was not sure whether they could eat it or not.

I boiled the noodles in a folding pot, threw the ham sausage in it and cooked it, and then continued to cook, I have to admire, this high-tech thing is different, pots and pans can be made of special materials to fold, Jiang Yuan's underground laboratory specializes in this kind of rare thing, although it is not very high-tech, but at least at this time it is very practical.

When the meal was cooked, I first brought Jiang Yuan from the water's edge, he was wearing sunglasses, saying that he could barely see the road clearly as long as he didn't see the strong light, at least he didn't have to trouble us, I stretched out my hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and I could barely see his eyes reacting through the sunglasses, indicating that he was not lying.

"Let's go, let's talk about it when we're full."

"Mouse, come down quickly, if you don't come again, you won't have anything to eat."

Maybe it's because we see the blue sky and white clouds again, and I'm in a very good mood, and when I see the mouse winking at me, I just want to laugh in my heart.

The rat was completely immersed in the shock of the stone carvings, but I didn't have the heart to delve into it, I just wanted to eat first.

Attracted by the smell of the food, the rat immediately jumped down from it, and said as he walked over, "Didn't you cook my sausages, or else, they don't have such a big fragrance." ”

"yes, cook all the sausages in your backpack, otherwise there will be enough to eat."

The mouse came over and held the bowl with a big grin, "I'll tell you, we're a blessing in disguise this time." ”

"A blessing in disguise?"

"Where's the blessing?"

The rat winked at me, "Do you know what a city within a city is?" ”

Jiang Yuan put down the bowl and said: "The hinterland of the desert is where the city within the city is located, but because of the hidden location, it is extremely difficult to find...... But no supporter of either side has ever been able to come up with real evidence, and now it seems that the place where we are now is a city within a city. ”

The mouse also put down the bowl and thought for a while, "It's not a problem for us to survive here, this place can meet our living needs, but if we want to go back, I'm afraid we can only grow wings by ourselves." “

There is only one thing I know about the city within a city, but I never believe it because it's too mysterious.

Legend has it that many years ago, this desert was still an oasis, with fertile water and grass, a pleasant climate, and the key is that there are many fairy grasses growing here, which live a long life.

Here, there are many cities, each of them is the king, living a self-sufficient life, everything was fine, but because of an earthquake, in today's words, it is the movement of the earth's crust, which leads to climate change, and the fire burns down the 10,000-year-old forest here, burning all the animals in the forest, leaving only some creatures living underground, and countless buildings are destroyed in one fell swoop.

After thousands of years, this area has never rained, once beautiful and rich everything, from the extension began to dry out little by little, the outside world thought that this area has completely become a desert, but after the Han Dynasty, some people say that this desert still has a city, this city is mysterious, rainy days appear, sunny days disappear.

Later, it was said that a merchant had seen a woman on the Qur'an Road, and she said that she had come from a city within a city, and that she had not been able to make it during the rainy season, so she could not return home now.

At that time, the merchant did not pay attention to her words, but felt that this person was very pitiful, so he took her home with him, and later got married and had children, and never mentioned the matter of returning home again in his life, and the merchant was worried at the beginning that this woman would suddenly disappear in the rainy season, and later he found that this woman seemed to be dead to him, especially after the birth of the child, this woman seemed to have forgotten her hometown.

Their lives were very happy, and this incident gradually faded with the passage of time, until later, this woman was sick, and it had reached the point of no return, and the doctor prescribed medicine and did not get better, when she was dying, the woman let everyone out, leaving only the businessman, she said to the businessman, I have been on the ground for too long, I am going home, a marriage with you is predestined, now, you have both children, they will take care of you for a lifetime, for you to provide for the elderly, as for me, For the sake of husband and wife, send me to that desert during the rainy season.

The merchant always had a problem in his heart, he thought that she could accompany him for a lifetime, and he would be satisfied when he knew that he was old and dead, but he didn't expect that this woman would go before him.

In the heavy rain, the merchant put the woman's coffin on the edge of the desert, and his cronies and family members were far behind him to protect it, the heavy rain soaked the coffin, the rain seeped in, and the water droplets dropped on the woman's face, in a trance, the coffin emitted a faint blue light, and finally, the woman stood out of the coffin, all of which was seen by the merchant.

The woman, dressed in a white robe with long silver-white hair scattered on her sides, walked slowly, took off one of the rings on her hand and handed it to the merchant, and told him that she was the princess of a city within a city, with the lifespan of a mortal three, that she had died once, that this was the second rebirth, that she was leaving, and that she would never see her again.

Above the desert, where the thunderclouds were shining, a towering palace loomed between lightning and thunder, and the woman slowly turned around and walked slowly towards the depths of the desert.

The merchant did not stop him, he knew that his wife was dead, and now it was the princess of the city within a city who was moving away from him.

Perhaps it was the blessing of the princess of the city, the voice of the merchant became louder and louder, and soon, he became the largest business in the Central Plains, and he never remarried, and after a lifetime of widowhood, the family wealth was scattered, and the children born to him and the princess of the city in the city, the boy joined the army, and the girl went around practicing medicine, and he was never contaminated with the ancestral industry.

When the merchant was dying, in a dream, he heard a woman's voice and asked the question he had hidden in his heart all his life, "Who are you?" ”

The woman replied that he had heard, but as if he hadn't, and at last the merchant left with a smile. (To be continued.) )
