Chapter 360: A Dead City
As Qu Qingran said, although no one has ever been to Loulan, there are two walking encyclopedias in the team, so even if no one has been, some historical documents about the ancient city of Loulan have basically been popularized.
As a bright pearl in the misty sand and dry sea, Loulan is a large oasis city with abundant water and grass in everyone's impression and concept, where you can see blue sky and white clouds that are different from the outside; You can see the crystal clear streams running through the city; You can see the exotic customs and humanistic culture from different places; It can be seen that it is no less prosperous and developed than the capital of the Central Plains......
No matter how many longings and dreams there are, in everyone's imagination, Loulan should not be what they see in front of them.
Dilapidated, depressed, devastated!
The dead trees and flowers were deaf and deaf to the ground, and some of the broken trunks were actually hollowed out. The walls of the houses of all kinds were mottled and mottled, and the beautiful carved patterns were gone, replaced by suspicious liquids spilled on them. The locks on the doors of many houses were forcibly broken open and hung upside down, and the inside of the houses could be seen through the cracks in the doors like robbers crossing the border. It should be a neat and orderly regular avenue, where garbage and waste are piled up one after another, and they are emitting a foul smell. The city's scattered waterways were almost gone, with only a thumb-thick yellowish stream flowing through it.
Where is this desert pearl?!
Except that the house has an extra roof than the one in Vasha, the whole city is depressed as if there is not even a living thing, and it is not as good as Vasha!
"It looks like it's more serious than I thought."
Wen Su took the reins and looked around, although there was no figure in sight on the street, her martial arts were not low, and she had already been keenly aware that there were eyes peeping at them in all directions, not one or two!
Looking back at the docile-looking camel, still chewing on a water-soaked satin that Wen Su had just given it, the thought that the little creature might not have died out of the city made her heart panic.
"Let's go inside first and find a place to stay."
Qing Ziye and the others who took the lead naturally sensed the malice from the entire ancient city, but even if everyone regarded them as fragrant buns, they had no choice, and the eight of them led the camels into the city, for those eyes hidden in the shadows, the eight of them were probably like a piece of fragrant meat, waiting to be overshadowed by all the hungry wolves.
As soon as I turned a corner, I heard the sound of several people scolding not far away, the angry and corrupt look like the wife ran away with someone, the sound is getting closer and closer, you can hear the roars and angry scolding of several big men, and the sound of beatings, fists to the flesh, it can be seen how much strength is used.
Wen Su sighed and shook her head, the current Loulan is like entering the end of the world, there is no legal system at all, they have been walking in from the gate for a while, the brawl is estimated to have been seen by many people, but no one came out to take care of it, I think that the whole city is probably the current appearance of bullying, right?
Without waiting for Wen Su to retract his thoughts, he only heard a "bang", and a black shadow flew out from the street entrance at the other end and slammed into the wall, and the sound of broken ribs and a painful muffled snort clearly fell into everyone's ears.
The black shadow rolled down to the ground and spun around twice, revealing the man wrapped in a black cloak. It was a very immature boy's face, which looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, his face was bruised and purple, red and swollen, his little sallow face was almost skinny, there was a scar on one eye, and there was a trace of blood on his lip, and as he rolled to the ground, he vomited a mouthful of blood, faintly with black blood clots.
A few more people rushed out at the corner of the street, it was the voices of a few big men I heard just now, the burly body knew at a glance that it was Lian Jiazi, they leaned forward aggressively, and even held sharp daggers or scimitars in their hands, and a few big men in the shape of a few big men against the cloaked child, it was a one-sided torture and killing!
"You stinky boy! Lao Tzu told you to run again, ah! You run! What is not dead, a's old son will kill you first!! ”
The burly man at the head looked angry, his cheek muscles were trembling, obviously so angry that he lost his mind, he waved the blade in his hand, rushed forward and was about to plunge into the body of the cloaked child.
Wen Su stood in place and didn't move, generally this kind of scene of righteousness and courage and pulling out a knife to help is basically not her turn to make a move, she turned her head to look at Qu Qingran, who was also standing aside and did not move, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to be observing Qu Qingyou with interest to save people.
Wen Su couldn't help but smile secretly, even the main man may not have a chance to do justice, let alone worry about it.
After only hearing a few jingling sounds, several big men knelt on the ground with a painful cry, looking at the pale appearance, they didn't know how many hands Qu Qingyou had, and several muscular men were also repaired by her and wanted to cry for their fathers and mothers.
Wen Su and Xun Yi had already approached the cloaked child and wanted to treat his wounds, just listening to the crisp sound of broken bones, she felt that this child should be in tears and in pain at the moment.
But the truth was the complete opposite, although the cloaked child was so painful that he curled up and could barely move, but he did not shed a single tear, nor did he cry out in pain, and a little face covered with blood and sweat left a hideous expression, and the mockery and madness in his eyes were like a madman who had lost his mind, and looked at everyone as if he were looking at a group of dead things.
The cloaked child's eyes gave Wen Su an extremely uncomfortable sense of disobedience, this kind of madness that seemed to make the whole world to bury him with one of the most unprovoked species.
Xun Yi doesn't care so much, the doctor is benevolent, and in line with the creed of curing the disease and saving people, he can't watch a child die in front of his eyes.
The two tacitly cooperated and fed people healing pills and water, and then took the dislocated limbs back again, and I don't know where the wound touched the child, Wen Su felt a moist palm in his palm, and raised his hand to see, the bloody traces on his hands were very piercing.
Seeing that the child is skinny and skinny, where did he shed so much blood?
couldn't help but look at Xun Yi who was applying medicinal powder to the wound on the child's face, his white robe was also dotted with blood, but the child was very uncooperative, forcing him to jam his thin jaw with his fingers to sprinkle the powder on his wound.
With this pinch, the scar on the child's face cracked again, and the blood wet Xun Yi's palm, Wen Su had to reach out to help fix the child's head, and then he reluctantly applied the powder to his wound.
The child didn't seem to have much strength, lying on the ground and letting Wen Su fiddle with it, his eyes looked at the sky without focus, only when he looked at the few big men who were being taught a little ridicule, touching the child's thin arms under his clothes, the hard bones slid in his palms.
Wen Su felt that if it weren't for the fact that there was still a layer of skin, it would be no different from feeling like holding a piece of hand bone directly.
Thinking of the dilapidated appearance of the entire Loulan, she seemed to be able to understand the madness in the eyes of this child.
People who are desperate to the extreme, either die in silence or explode in silence.
At that time, several big men who bullied children were almost taught a lesson by the male and female protagonists, and I don't know if Qu Qingyou's heroine's aura was shining, and the originally bad big man was really brainwashed by her. From the vicious words at the beginning, to the current sobbing and begging for forgiveness, the difference in attitude before and after is simply heaven and earth.
But soon Wen Su couldn't calm down, it should be said that it was a bad news!
The strong men who were taught a lesson to change their minds told their origins and the real reason for bullying the children with tears and snot -
The man at the head is called Ma Yan, and their group is not a native of Loulan, they are all a certain caravan from the Biansai Slaughter City, because they encountered a sandstorm, and the large army was scattered, they had to divert to Loulan to replenish supplies and water sources, what they never expected was that Loulan, the former oasis city, has become a desolate place where birds don't, if only that's it! The most desperate thing has also happened, this ancient city of Loulan is like being cursed, you can only come in, but you can't get out at all! And Ma Yan and the others have been trapped in this ruined city for more than two months, and they have tried all means to successfully get out of this demonic ancient city.
As for why they bullied this cloaked child, it was not for nothing, Ma Yan's team originally had a few partners, but they had been missing for a long time and never came back, because everyone was a fellow villager, and just when they were discussing whether to find someone, the cloaked child said that they were just wasting their efforts in vain, and let them honestly wait for death Such words, Ma Yan, who was angry for a while, couldn't control his emotions and injured the child.
