Since they came with the purpose of keeping them in captivity, the Huang tribe did not kill all the camel beasts here. Instead, they killed a few of them who were called beast kings and warriors, and then dispersed the team and surrounded the panicked camel beasts. in it.
Zhao Shun was wary, and if the Desolate clan in front of him took action, he would immediately draw his sword and fight to the death, trying his best to fight for a chance of survival.
However, his dark eyes swept over Zhao Shun, and finally landed on Pu Yue beside her. Amidst the girl's screams, he turned over and got off the camel beast. His big hand passed over Pu Yue's head, and he held it tightly on the bronze spear. Go up and pull it up from the ground, stirring up dust and sand all over the ground.
Pu Yue's face was covered in cold sweat, and she didn't dare to wipe the blood from her mouth and nose. Her two round eyes were hidden under her eyelashes, for fear that if she raised her eyes, she would be looking at him.
The Desolate tribe barbarian kept staring at her face until all the blood and sand stained on the spear was shaken off, then he lifted his feet and left.
Compared with Pu Yue, Zhao Shun seemed insignificant in their eyes, as if he was not qualified to catch their eyes, and was ignored with contempt and left behind.
The Huang people were busy driving the camel beast away. Zhao Shun saw that they didn't look like they were going to attack the two of them, so he stretched out his hand to help Pu Yue up and whispered: "I don't know why they let them go. Save you and me, but after all, this place is still a dangerous place, and there may be another strong enemy attack at some time. To protect your life, it’s better to leave immediately.”
Pu Yue was obviously too frightened. She swallowed her saliva and wiped the blood off her face. She held Zhao Xuan's arm tightly and said, "Sister, you are right. We should leave right away."
When the sword energy first rose, the surrounding desolate tribes were alerted for a moment. It wasn't until they realized that the two of them were preparing to leave rather than attack that they withdrew their gaze and focused on driving away the camel beasts.
…
Without the guidance of a bright lamp, Pu Yue had to observe the color of the dust in the sky with the naked eye to identify the trend of the wind and sand.
Either she is really talented in this way, or the two of them have had good luck for a long time. After the previous storm, they have never encountered another storm.
After walking around in the wind and sand for less than half a month, Zhao Shun recalled the map and found that all the tribes of the Desolate tribe drawn on it had passed by. The two of them should not be far from their destination now.
Pu Yue was protected in the sword gang, and did not suffer the wind and sand as much as when she traveled. Her pretty lotus face was less frightened than the day she met the desolate tribe, and she finally showed that she was a wanderer returning home. The attachment and joy come.
"There is Hongqiu ahead! Sister, remember, after passing Hongqiu, you will reach my house!"
Of course, Zhao Shun remembered that outside the destination marked as a town, there was a hilly area outlined with red cinnabar, but he never thought that the sand dunes in front of him were really like cinnabar, a dazzling red color that stood out among the long yellow sand.
As he passed the red hill with his sword, an endless high wall gradually appeared in the dim yellow sand. Even though Zhao Xuan was walking in mid-air, he could not get over the high wall made of sand and stones to see what was inside. .
But she knew that this must be the home Pu Yue mentioned.
The long sword stopped under the high wall and was stored by Zhao Shun. The strange thing is that there is a city wall here, but there is no gate for entry, and naturally there are no monks guarding the gate.
"Follow me." Pu Yue put her hand against the wall, as if touching the water. The sand wall suddenly made ripples like water waves. Her white and tender fingers were immersed in it, and then her uncomfortable arms.
Zhao Shun was brought into it without any hindrance. After his vision was temporarily blocked, his eyes suddenly became clear.
For example, outside the high wall is a dead sky full of sand and sea, with the vast sunset and clouds coexisting with each other, but inside the high wall is a scene of spring full of vitality and greenery.
All the houses are built in a ring, guarding the huge lake in the center of the town. Eight waterways are diverted from the lake for residents to walk around and wash their clothes. The houses here are not tall. They are all one-story bungalows with green tiles and white walls, and have the scenery of a water town.
Only the pavilions and palaces on the lake, which are cut off from the surrounding areas, have a total of eighteen floors, making them look particularly aloof and aloof.
There were many residents here, but they all seemed to be familiar to Pu Yue. When they saw her coming in, they all dropped their important matters and rushed to tell each other. Some even had red eyes and wiped tears with their hands.
"Yue'er, where have you been? We are so worried, for fear that something will happen to you."
"When you come back this time, don't run out casually!"
…
"My lord is afraid that something might happen to you, so I have sent people out to look for you, but they brought you back?" As they asked, they saw Zhao Shun standing behind Pu Yue. Her clothes, appearance, and appearance all showed that she was It's a foreigner.
"This is..." As if they had encountered such a savage beast, the crowd surrounding Pu Yue suddenly took a step back, their eyes full of alertness.
"This is the sister I met outside. She is my savior. If she hadn't rescued me, I wouldn't have been able to come back." Pu Yue brought Zhao Shun to him and praised her very highly. .
"Anyway, sister is my distinguished guest. I have to go see you, so I'll say goodbye to all my uncles and aunts first!" She pulled Zhao Shun's sleeves and walked forward. Everyone wanted to stop them, but they heard her say She made an excuse in the name of "meeting the adults". Although she was quite dissatisfied in her heart, she didn't dare to really stop her.
Zhao Shun was pulled into a blue-tiled house by the waterway before she took back her sleeves. Pu Yue returned to the town after going through dangers, but her face was not as happy as before, but more sad.
"What's wrong?" She found a low stool in the house and sat down, and poured a cup of tea as if she were familiar with it. However, the owner had not returned home for a long time, and the tea in the pot had already lost its temperature, and the tea fragrance was also light. light. Zhao Shun paused for a moment, then finally put the cup back on the table and asked.
"I just remembered that the everlasting lamp has been broken. What should I give back to you?"
Since Pu Yue ran away from home secretly, the origin of the Changming Lantern is self-evident. Although Zhao Shun did not know the identity of the adult she mentioned, he thought that she was just an unstable girl after all. This matter should be discussed more or less with the elders in the family.
So he advised: "Why don't you go home first and tell your elders about the matter and see if they have any countermeasures."
She raised her head in surprise and said with a smile: "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm already home."
Zhao Shun asked: "What about the elders in your family?"
"The uncles and aunts I met when I came here are all elders."
"Your brother and sister?"
"Aren't the children of my uncle and aunt my brothers and sisters?"
Zhao Shun asked directly: "Where are your parents?"
"I don't have parents. My adults picked me up from outside and my uncles and aunts raised me."
It turns out that Pu Yue, who talks about her family every day, is actually an orphan without a father or mother!
She was silent for a long time. Seeing that there was no trace of displeasure on the other person's face, she changed her topic and asked, "You said that this place has something to do with the ancient country of verdant green. Where did it come from?"
Pu Yue held her face with both hands, and the flesh of her face bulged out from between her fingers: "This is the ruins of the ancient country mentioned by the wild monks."
