Chapter 4 There are stone houses in the desert supply, and the town is small and complete

Li Xun tightened the blanket tightly wrapped around his body, and he couldn't help but shiver with coldness. He had the impression that the desert should be very hot, but he didn't expect it to be very cold. The dry, cold wind blew on the body as if a thin bamboo strip were drawn on the body.

He was wrapped in cold smoke, with only two eyes exposed. Li Xunchou looked at Guru, and a feeling of envy arose. Guru wore only a pikan shoulder and a linen coat underneath, and he did not wear a padded jacket, as if he was not afraid of the cold at all.

Guru was probably a little in high spirits, and actually sang a folk song loudly, but Li Xunchou couldn't understand a word. But the tone was subdued and sonorous, and he heard that he was a little passionate, and his coldness was greatly reduced. Involuntarily, he even sang aloud. It's just that he can't even hear the tune he sings.

Han Yan's eyes narrowed, and Li Xunchou knew that she was laughing, so he sang more happily.

Hi...... Eh, hey, hey, my earth is cold, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,

Li Xunchou sang this, but Guru stopped singing, and he said a word to the cold smoke. Li Xunchou asked Hanyan loudly: "Sister, what did he say?"

Han Yan also replied loudly: "He said you sang well." ”

Li Xunchou was a little shy, and touched his head embarrassedly.

Cold, Guru pointed ahead and shouted, although Li Xunchou couldn't understand it, but he saw a scene in his eyes, a house suddenly appeared in the desert.

"Brother Li, there seems to be a family there. Let's spend the night there. ”

"Good!"

It's been three days since the trio entered the desert, and they just need a place to fix it.

The house looked square, but it had a hemispherical roof, which looked weird. At this time, I saw that the house was not very far away, but when I walked over, I found that it was not close. Originally, the house was just a small room from a distance, but when I got closer, I realized that it was a large house.

The house looks like it's made of sand, but when you reach out and touch it, it feels very hard, like stone. But definitely not stone, unless the house was carved out of a single large stone cutout.

There is only one door in the house, and the wooden door that opens on the left and right sides is also very hard, and it looks a little yellow, but I don't know what kind of wood it is.

"It's a strange house, it has only one door, but no windows. Li Xunchou couldn't help but say. Guru went around to the back, he shouted again, Han Yan followed, Li Xunchou also followed, and found that there was a small piece of watermelon planted behind the big house, which seemed to be really a family that had settled in the desert.

Li Xunchou went around to the door again and began to knock, but no one answered after knocking for a long time. He tried to push the door, but it was pushed open. At first glance, the room was empty, not even furnished, except for a round stone platform in the middle, which looked like a large millstone pestle on the ground, but I did not know what it was.

He went in and looked at it, and found that there was a lid on the stone platform, which was also made of wood, and when he opened it, he saw that the stone platform was actually a well, and there was a pool of clear water in it, and he reached the mouth of the well half a foot. The strange thing is that there is a wooden scoop hanging under the lid. Look at the size of the scoop full can have half a catty of water.

Li Xunchou called Han Yan in and asked, "Sister, is this a supply point on the map?" ”

"It's not. The supply points on the map are all mountains or lakes. The well was apparently dug by hand, and it seems that the large house was specially designed to protect the well. ”

"It's quite spacious, and it wasn't a problem for us to fix it here for two days. ”

"Hmm. I don't know who is so kind to build such a supply point in the desert. ”

"Sister, you fill the water bag first, and I'll go out and take care of the livestock. ”

"Big brother, I have tested the watermelon, it is not poisonous, you can eat it with confidence. ”

"Well, good!"

Li Xunchou took a water bag to take care of the livestock, unloaded the hay and fed the animals a little. Guru was picking watermelons, picked two and carried them into the house.

Li Xunchou fed the cattle and searched around, and found a small forest when he climbed over a small sand dune. Only half of them have withered, and there seems to be some traces of water in one of the depressions. It seems that there was once an oasis here, but it is gradually swallowed up by the desert. He gathered some dead branches, and looked at them to see that they were also yellow-orange-orange, and seemed to be of the same wood as the door of the house, and they were particularly hard. A thumb-thick branch, Li Xunchou pouted very hard.

He said in his heart that it was a pity that such a good wood burned the fire. But naturally he couldn't chop some wood and take it away. That would be too cumbersome.

Li Xunchou picked up the branches and returned to the front of the big house, he beckoned the Guru to set up a pot to make a fire, and planned to stew some meat to eat. I've been eating barbecue for a while, and I'm tired of eating it for a long time.

Soon the smell of meat overflowed, and Guru didn't know what to think, he actually brought the ingredients with him. That's really well prepared.

It's just that the rice brought is almost finished, and the three of them haven't cooked much porridge for a while.

"Girl, look at the route, we need a few days to get out of this desert. ”

Han Yan took the map and looked at it, "There are still three days." Up to five days. ”

"That's good. There was enough rice to eat for three meals, so we ate them all and then tried to get out in one go. ”

Hanyan communicated with Gruul, and Gruul had no opinion.

The meat is stewed and put out in a leather bag dedicated to food. Then I brushed the pot and boiled porridge again.

Along the way, Guru and Hanyan were both saving to eat, and they were only half-full at each meal.

"Sister, you can eat hard in the past two days, I think our food is still sufficient, and there is no problem to get out of the desert. ”

Han Yan nodded a little awkwardly.

If it weren't for this supply point, Li Xunchou wouldn't have dared to make a big stew of meat and porridge, although the food was sufficient, but the water was not enough. Porridge and stew require water consumption. There was still a bag of snake blood to replenish, but who would have too much water in the desert?

The three of them were very full at this meal, and the rest of the porridge was confiscated, and some water was added to reward a few animals. After all, they've been a big contributor along the way.

After eating, the sky darkened, the sun was about to set, and the western desert seemed to be burning with a layer of fire in the sunset.

Hanyan looked at the sunset and said, "Look at the sky, it looks like the situation of the Flame Mountain. ”

"Is there really a fire in the Flaming Mountain?"

"Of course. ”

"But how could the mountains catch fire? ”

"There were many black things in the mountain, and the flames seemed to be from that kind of thing. ”

"That could be coalcoal. Charcoal is black, and although it looks like a stone, it can burn fire, and the fire is very strong, much more powerful than charcoal. There is not even smoke when it burns. It's just that it seems to be able to release poison gas. My master said that thing would become a treasure sooner or later. ”

"Maybe it's coal. No matter how precious it is, there is a raging flame burning there, but it cannot be mined. ”

"Isn't the metal of the Fire Cloud Dart born in the Flame Mountain, and how did it come out? ”

"It should have been taken out by a master from outside the world. The metal was so heavy that the average knight couldn't throw it out. But Brother Li, you should be a different matter. I'll give you this fire cloud dart, it just so happens that your internal strength is also fire attribute. ”

Li Xunchou did not refuse, took the fire cloud dart and put it away. Strange to say, although this fire cloud dart contains fire poison, its surface is no different from other metals, cold and cold.

Although Guru couldn't understand the words of Li Xunchou and the others when he saw this scene, he seemed to understand it. He took out his Fire Cloud Dart and muttered something.

"Guru said his dart was given to you too. ”

Along the way, Hanyan also told Guru about the real person of the fire dragon, and persuaded him not to take revenge, it was really not worth losing his life in vain. Although Guru said yes, Han Yan could see that he still had hatred in his heart.

Yes, how can the revenge of killing the father be easily forgotten. It's just that Hanyan was too young at that time, and he didn't understand hatred very clearly.

The three of them rested in the house for a day and a night, and hurried all night at dusk the next day. It was cold at night, but it was better to walk at full strength than during the day. The climate in the desert is very weird, sometimes the temperature difference between day and night is very large, obviously it is hot to wear single clothes during the day, but it is still very cold to wear a cotton jacket at night. But sometimes it feels cold even though there is a strong sun, as if the sun is not a fireball but an ice hockey ball. But at night, it is not too cold, and it even feels cooler than during the day.

These two days are hot during the day and cold at night.

After another day and a night, the three of them continued to camp. The open-air camping consisted only of camels in a circle, with three people resting on the camels in the middle.

After four more days, we finally got out of the desert. But what connected the desert was a hill, but fortunately the mountain was not high, and the three of them found a col to rest for a day and a night, and then walked for another day and crossed this hill.

Standing on the top of the last hill, a rippling blue river comes into view, and there seems to be a large city located on the edge of the river.

Han Yan excitedly pointed to the piece of Daze and said, "That should be the last coordinate on the map, Xihai." ”

The three of them rejoiced, and strode down the mountain, but walked for half a night to reach the nearest city.

The town has no walls, and some scattered buildings are scattered.

The town seemed to be quite harmonious, and the doors of many houses were left open, whether they were blown open by the wind or not closed at all.

There are also some lights and torches on the road at a distance. The shops are also very full-lived, grocery stores, inns, taverns, everything, the most is the blacksmith shop, a small village with less than 100 households can have five or six blacksmith shops.

In the center of the town is a circular temple with a high spire at the top. The temple has four gates, corresponding to the four main streets of the town. These four doors have only openings, but no doors.
