There is a spring in the Western Regions, bent like a crescent moon.

It has the name of the crescent moon spring, which flutters for thousands of miles, so that every household on the land of the Central Plains has heard of it.

But few people know that the reason why this crescent moon spring has been called the god of heaven and earth and the god of the world by the literati and scholars throughout the history is not all because of its beautiful shape and resemblance to the second quarter moon in the early days. Although this is a rare sight, it is not surprising that every spring has to have a shape, whether it is a crescent moon or any other shape, and at best it is only a little mysterious. Besides, there are many lakes in the world that are as round as tomorrow, and none of them have received the name 'Sun Lake'.

The reason why Crescent Moon Spring is famous is actually very simple.

It is the only lake in the vast desert.

Yes, the only one, the only one that has never been buried by yellow sand for thousands of years, has been standing among the green vegetation since the time humans set foot in the Western Regions.

Those business tourists who have traveled to the Western Regions often say that although this lake is only a few dozen acres in size, compared to the desert that spans hundreds of miles, it is just a drop in the bucket. But in this vast sea of sand, there is a crescent spring, and only a crescent spring can give birth to a family, a tribe, a small town, and a true city.

The people living in Yonghua City often thank the officials above the temple or the gods above the ten thousand zhang, but they always don't imagine what their lives would be like if they didn't step on the land under their feet.

They have never been trapped by the desert, they have never known the bitterness and bitterness of living in the wind and sand, and they have never known the infinite relief brought by the touch of emerald green when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Therefore, the crescent moon spring they thought was bent like a crescent moon.

But the real crescent moon spring is just a clear spring.

......

......

When the red glow appeared, a soft cloth boot stepped on the equally soft yellow sand.

Bow your head slightly, look at the crescent moon ten zhang away, look at the green leaves, look at the sparkling waves.

There are laughing and playing children playing by the spring, you chase after me, there are pedestrians with wind and sand covering their faces leading donkeys and horses, scooping up a bowl of clear spring with wooden scoops, and drinking it all, and there are all kinds of vendors gathered in front of the Tingquan Building of some years, shaking their hands in the middle of the barb

Bananas, shouting loudly about their own Western Regions full of business.

"What a crescent moon spring. ”

Looking at this bustling scene, the owner of the cloth boots recalled the desolate scenery in the desert on both sides of the road before, and sighed softly.

It is only ten miles, and it is only ten miles away from Zhenhuang City. But on this ten-mile avenue, there is no trace of smoke except for the lifeless merchants.

If it weren't for this crescent spring, I'm afraid the desert would be even more desolate.

He turned his head sideways, looked at the white dress beside him, and the two black clothes behind him, and smiled: "I don't know if the bright moon in the sky can be collected in this spring at night." ”

Zhong Liyan covered her lips and laughed a few times.

Zhang Shan and Li Shi grinned together and replied with a smile: "My lord said that he was laughing." ”

Wang Manxiu also raised the corners of his lips.

He said no more, but turned back and walked towards the spring, wanting to take a sip of the sweet spring water, which was said to be refreshing and had the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis. Although I don't know if the rumors are true or not, it took about half an hour to walk all the way from the south gate of Zhenhuang City to this place.

Wang Manxiu thought so, Zhong Liyan thought so, and Zhang Shanli Shi thought so.

I saw Zhang take half a step forward, hugged his fists, and said, "My lord, if you don't mind, I want to buy a few pots of this crescent moon spring's specialty soju to taste." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the vendors in front of Tingquan Tower, where there were indeed a few vendors from the Western Regions wearing burqas selling some clay pots in burqas. Come to think of it, these bottles and cans are filled with the specialty wine that Zhang Shan said.

Wang Manxiu glanced at the vendors, turned to the side with a little surprise, and said curiously: "These soju ...... But it's brewed with this crescent spring water?"

Zhang Shan was stunned for a moment, and replied, "That's what I've heard of below." ”

"Oh, those little boys ...... too"

Wang Manxiu was holding the Qinghe sword in one hand, and subconsciously wanted to take out the money bag on his waist with the other. But in the end, his hand was only suspended in the air, and he quickly clenched his fist in embarrassment and withdrew his waist: "...... Forget it, it's nothing, you go!"

Seeing this, Zhang Shan smiled and immediately glanced at Li Shi beside him.

Li Shi comprehended, then clasped his fists lightly towards Wang Manxiu, and said, "My lord, then I'll help Zhang Shan get the wine jug."

Wang Manxiu nodded and said softly.

It is enough for one person to carry two flasks in two hands.

Two people with four hands can carry four flasks.

Dressed in white and dressed in white, dressed in black, there are exactly four people.

It seems that he has to make an account in his heart first.

Wang Manxiu smiled faintly and turned around.

I felt a small hand beside me gently pulling the corner of my clothes.

"Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai. Zhong Liyan looked at the departing backs of the black-clothed people and looked up curiously: "Lord Zhang Shan and Master Li Shi, what is the relationship between you and Mr."

Wang Manxiu was stunned for a moment, and quickly went through all the available answers in his mind, and finally felt that it was a little unreliable, so he asked with a smile: "In Miss Yan's opinion, what is the relationship between me and this Zhang Sanli Si?"

Zhong Liyan blinked and thought seriously for a while, and replied in a low voice: "Lord Zhang Shan and Master Li Shi both said that they were your entourage, but I remember that when Mr. was in Pingshui County, he was just a bookkeeper, how could there be an entourage?"

"Hahaha, Miss Yan is right, this is indeed the truth. ”

Wang Manxiu smiled a few times and replied, "Although I have always told everyone that the two of them are Xiaosheng's entourage...... But in fact, they are just like Miss Yan and you said, they don't have that kind of relationship with Xiaosheng. ”

"What's that relationship?"

"Hmm...... It's hard to say. ”

Wang Manxiu raised his hand to support his chin, looked at the sky and thought for a moment, and said, "I met them on the way to the Western Regions, so it can be regarded as ...... Like-minded partners, right?"

Zhong Liyan nodded his little head when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "So that's the case, no wonder the eyes of the two adults are always enthusiastic and admiring for Mr. ”

"Haha, what is there to admire Xiaosheng, I have said it. ”

"No, no!"

Zhong Liyan shook his head persistently and said seriously, "Mr. Bai is really amazing. Whether it's as a Xuanshi of Qimen, or ......"

As soon as she was halfway through her words, she pursed her lips with a flushed face, lowered her head, and whispered in a voice that she thought no one could hear, "...... Or as Mr. Bai......"

Wang Manxiu glanced at her.

He smiled slightly and did not speak.
