Chapter 36: The Return

A red sun hung high in the sky, and the branches and leaves of the low bushes on the roadside had withered and curled.

I don't know how long it took, the hot sun on Jiawen's back was hot, and he was also smoked by this hot temperature and couldn't calm down, and he had been waking up from his weak back for a long time.

At this moment, one man and one horse had left the confines of the forest and entered the plains not far from the city.

The Gobi is full of rocks as large and small as pebbles, and due to the arrival of the dry season, the riverbed has dried up and the lack of water sources, leaving only some low plants that have long since died, and the scorching temperature is well reflected here.

The only green color here is probably the scattered cacti, some of which have even blossomed, revealing their bright red skins.

However, this sweet and juicy fruit with spikes on the outside, Jiawen is destined to be blessed.

Turning his head to look at the weak, his thick and dexterous tongue stretched out and curled, and he picked the tempting cactus fruit from above, opened his big mouth and chewed it directly.

No need to try, Jiawen feels that his mouth hurts when he looks at it, the key is that the weak suffer is still very high, and he will eliminate one in three or two mouths, and eat it completely as a snack, which makes people feel very curious about what the weak mouth is made of, how it feels a little invulnerable, and there is a stomach that can never be filled like a starving ghost.

The two of them walked forward like this, and gradually the outline of Dragon City slowly rose from the horizon, and the huge shadow like a hill was easily recognizable.

Finally about to arrive at the destination, Jiawen's mood couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and he looked up as if it was close at hand.

The weak man under him seems to have sensed the change in Jiawen, and out of his long-standing instinct as a mount, his steps have become brisk.

......

In a short time, the short distance was fleeting, and the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Burning Dragon City.

Look forward carefully, now the time is close to noon is the time when the flow of people is the largest, in the past at this time of the city gate is an endless stream of people, but today somehow seems to be less than half, only the people who go in but do not see the people who come out.

Jiawen had a premonition that something was happening, so he dismounted in advance, and when he arrived, he pulled the weak and lined up to approach the city gate in front of him.

"Come on, come on, come and have a look. ”

At this moment, I don't know who suddenly made a voice that attracted Jiawen's attention.

"The woman on the screen is the temple's A-class wanted criminal, and her character is cold and ruthless, which has brought us a huge loss. If anyone has news of her, they will immediately report it to us, and if the news is true, they will be rewarded with a thousand gold. "At the front, near the city gates, a man dressed as a priest was reading something out loud.

After a closer look, I saw a group of people on the right side of the entrance of the city gate gathered there, watching the newly announced wanted list of the Temple of Light.

The list is made of magic crystals and complex alchemy processes, and the gem-like crystals project a light curtain upwards to replace paper for people to watch, which is very technological.

Most of the people in the queue swept away when they arrived, and only a few people dressed as samurai in power suits stopped and seemed to be very interested in them.

Every once in a while, the priest would read it aloud again to remind the passers-by.

The speed of the crowd was not slow, and soon it was Jiawen's turn, and when he passed by, he couldn't help but glance over the light curtain.

......

Suddenly, Jiawen's pupils shrank suddenly, not because of anything else, because the woman's face that appeared on the light curtain was his aunt.

"What's going on, what's going on? How can this be?"

In an instant, Jiawen's mind was all disrupted at once, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do for this unexpected thing for a while.

The weak man next to him noticed his abnormality and quietly raised his leg and kicked him.

It was only at this moment that Jiawen woke up suddenly.

"No matter what happened, I wasn't in the city for the past two days, and the most important thing I should do now is to go back to Aunt Huo and the others to confirm the situation and see what is going on. ”

Jia Wenqiang fought hard and cleared his thoughts, and at this time he didn't have the energy to care about anything else, so he hurried towards Aunt Huo when he entered the city gate.

The weak person on the side also followed Jiawen into the city, but he didn't know where it ran to in a blink of an eye.

......

"Aunt Huo, Aunt Huo," Jia Wen shouted out as soon as he entered the door.

The surroundings were quiet, and they didn't want to look like people.

shouted a few times, but no one in the house responded, which made Jiawen anxious like an ant on a hot pot.

"Squeak. ”

Just when he was impatient, suddenly a movement from outside the house attracted Jiawen's attention.

"Aunt Li?" It turned out that it was none other than the elder Aunt Li, whom she had only met two days ago.

"Aunt Li, do you know the announcement at the city gate? What the hell is going on, Aunt Nai and her are there now. Jiawen was also dizzy, and continued to ask questions like a machine gun.

"Gavin, why are you only coming back now? Aunt Li also seemed to be surprised, but she didn't answer him immediately, but just walked over and took Jiawen's hand first: "Wait patiently, I'll tell you these things later, come with me first." ”

Aunt Li's tone was unquestionable, although Jiawen was a little anxious, he had to listen to the elders, and obediently let Aunt Li pull him away.

I saw that the two of them turned left and right after going upstairs, and finally stopped at the door of a room, and Aunt Li took the lead in pushing the door open and walked in.

After entering, it was just an ordinary study, but Aunt Li didn't know what mechanism she had touched in the room, and the ceiling above her head opened like a skylight, and there was a ladder for people to go up and down.

Aunt Li urged him to go up, and she followed him up to the little attic, which was so small that he couldn't walk up straight, but the advantage of this design was that from the outside it was a two-story house, and no one would have thought that there would be a third floor in the roof.

Aunt Li somehow found a candle and put it on the candlestick in the open space in front of her, and lit it with a match.

The surroundings gradually brightened, and a large number of surroundings appeared, this is a small space of only twenty square meters, and there are some old parts similar to alchemy objects piled up in the corners of the space, which makes the space that is not too big seem even more narrow.

Returning to the entrance, Aunt Li bent down and retracted the ladder that had stretched out, resetting the ceiling to cut off the last ray of light from outside.

Aunt Lee then knelt down in front of the candlestick, and then motioned for Garvin to sit down.
