Chapter 19: The Small Town of Kakur
This is the place where Xijon has a vast grassland and an endless desert. There is openness and freedom that is not found in the Central Plains, and people here live for freedom!
And Jun Juan was born as a caged bird, and the life in the prison that he had become accustomed to returned to the sky again, and he had long forgotten what freedom looked like.
But it didn't matter, Zhehyuk thought, he could give the finch that only perched on golden branches and jade leaves everything she wanted.
He used all the tenderness of his life to look at the finch that probed his brain. The finch was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"What are you staring at me for?" You see, the slightly annoyed appearance of this finch is really endearing.
Jehyuk didn't answer, just turned his head around and led the horse.
"Let's go."
Zhehe stepped onto his horse and reached out to pull Jun Juan under the horse onto the horse.
Jun Juan only felt light, and went up to Zhehe's horse.
"Didn't you say you wanted me to practice riding? What kind of exercise is it for you and me to ride a horse together? ”
Of course, practicing horseback riding is just a pretense, and Zhehe couldn't admit it, so he said, "This is what I taught you personally." ”
If you don't practice or not, if you don't ride a horse, how can it be so important, he is holding Jun Juan in his arms, how can he be willing to let go?
"Gone!"
This horse has accompanied Zhehe on countless battlefields, so naturally it is incomparable to ordinary horses.
Jun Juan only felt that the wind of the grassland was blowing on her face, and the wind was not as gentle as the wind of the Central Plains, but cut her face like a knife, and she consciously felt that her face hurt.
I couldn't help but drill into Zhehyuk's arms.
Zhehyuk naturally understood what was going on, and secretly sped up a little faster.
Fortunately, this knife-like wind did not let Jun Juan feel it for a long time. Out of the royal city of Xirong, Zhehe's speed slowed down.
Two people and a horse, strolling through the vast grassland.
"Look!"
Looking along Jun Juan's line of sight, there was a group of snow-white sheep, leisurely grazing on the grass.
Jun Wan couldn't take his eyes off it, but for Zhehyuk, it was commonplace. Zhehyuk didn't interrupt her, seeing that her eyes were about to stick to the flock, he only thought she was cute.
The sun shines on the sheep, and it also shines on the two men and the horse.
One of the two people is in a black riding suit, and the other is in a red riding suit, the black is deep and introverted, the red is enthusiastic and dazzling, the two look like the people in the painting, and the scenery has become picturesque.
The journey to the northwest is not close, but it is not far away. It is still enough to be at the speed of Zhehyuk. But now he is taking Jun Juan with him, and he spends a lot of time on the so-called scenery on the road.
In this way, I won't be able to reach the northwest in one day.
Originally, Zhehe was not in a hurry, and Xirong was peaceful today, and it was okay to do it recently, so it didn't hurt to spend more time.
Since he couldn't get to the northwest, Jehyuk decided to stay in Kakur that day.
Kakur is the last city in front of the Northwest Desert, and beyond Kakul is the endless desert.
Due to its proximity to the desert, Kakul is a small and impoverished city with scarce water.
Xirong has little rain for many years, and the royal city of Xirong relies on the water of the Tuoles River, and the northern land relies on snow water, which makes Xirong not lack water.
The place of Kakul seems to be abandoned, with no rivers passing through it, and no snow melting, all thanks to the last rain that has been in a few years.
So as soon as Jun Wan stepped into Kakul City, she was shocked, she never knew that there was such a place in this world where there was no grass.
There is hardly a single green plant in this city, and the people here are barren and have thin yellow faces full of the devastation of life.
It's hell here.
When the people of the city saw Zhehyuk riding a tall horse, they all surrounded him.
"Alright, alright! I haven't eaten in three days! ”
"Uncle, okay! The children in the family are dying of thirst! ”
"Please, save ......"
……
People here don't always get to take a shower once in their lives, and they come around with a foul smell.
It's not that they don't want to save it, but even if they can save this group of people, how can the people of this city save it?
Zhehyuk's face was dark, he had not been to Kakur since he ascended the throne, and although he was less than a day's distance from Kakul, the old stubborn people of the Northland insisted on owning this place.
Now it seems that the old stubbornness of the Northland can be said to have abandoned the life and death of the people here.
Kakul seems to have been forgotten by the world......
"Let's find a place to stay!" Zhehe Dao.
But Kakul is so remote and backward that no one wants to come here, and they searched for a long time before they managed to find an inn.
The inn must have been in disrepair, and the damp walls already smelled of mold. Push the door, and the door creaks.
Jun Wan frowned, and disgust was written on his face.
But there's really nothing you can do, after all, there's just such an inn in this city.
"The owner wants the best room."
"Two!"
Zhehe glanced at Jun Wan and said unconvincedly: "You dare to live alone?" ”
Jun Juan thought about the cobweb-covered walls, the creaking door, and the crazy crowd of people, she shuddered in fright and hurriedly shook her head.
"One is one."
"Alright, alright." The boss must have not seen anyone step into his little dilapidated inn for a few years, and the folds on his smiling face came out.
The boss looked at Jun Juan while showing them the way.
His restless eyes made Jun Juan feel very disgusted, and she subconsciously hid behind Zhehyuk, who glared at the boss, and the boss bowed his head stupidly.
The best room is just a little less cobwebs and less mold.
Jun Juan looked at the crumbling bed with a loveless expression.
The boss looked at the scenery in this house and looked embarrassed, after all, he had just reported a large amount, and Zhehe gave it without blinking.
He hurriedly explained: "This...... It's just too long and no one has lived there. I'll clean it up for both of you, and I'll be right away. ”
The boss walked out with a smile, but as soon as he went out, his face changed and he immediately changed his face.
"Brother, I've got a big fat sheep here. You see, how much silver is this. The boss shook the silver in his hand triumphantly at his companion.
"Yes! You've sent it! The companion looked envious.
"I'm telling you, the identities of the two people in it are definitely not simple. The woman inside doesn't look like a Xijon person, maybe it's a little fat sheep in the Central Plains! ”
"Otherwise, brother, let's have a big vote, in case it happens, we won't send it!"
The companion made a gesture to wipe his neck, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
The boss took out a bottle of medicine from somewhere: "This medicine is that the head wolf can fall down in minutes just by smelling it." ”
He hid the medicine in his sleeve and walked towards the room with the basin in his hand.
"Alas, two guest officers. This will be cleaned up for you. ”
Kakul is short of water, and the so-called cleaning is nothing more than wiping the surface with a rag.
