Desert
In a blink of an eye, it has been more than two years. Nian Yuyun sat on the camel helplessly and felt a little incredible. She actually rode an ancient camel! Although it is not much different from the modern one, it really made Nian Yuyun a little excited.
Think about it, she hasn't seen Ye Zi for more than two years. The old man Murong Jin actually took her to more than N towns in just two years... Now, it's running to the desert again.
It sounds good. Seeing more can increase your knowledge. There are many benefits to coming to the desert... More, more, more sand, right? Thinking of this, Nian Yuyun couldn't help muttering, "Really, it's so hot that I don't know what's good about coming to this desert, treasure hunting?"
"It's a treasure hunt! That treasure's name is Desert Star. Although Nian Yuyun's voice is very low, how can he not hear it with Murong Jin's ear power?
"Desert Star? Gemstone?" After more than two years, Nian Yuyun's mentality has gradually adjusted. Although it is not as lively as before, it is no longer as cold as before.
"Jewels? What and what! The Desert Star is a kind of herb. It is black all over, and even the thick branches and slender leaves are black. When it is ripe, it will bear red fruit. Whether it is a root, stem or leaf, it is an extremely good medicine. The most amazing thing is its fruit. The red fruit is simply a strange medicine. If it is combined with the petals of the Shezihua King and the thousand-year-old snow lotus, it can be refined to make a life-shou pill.
"Sushou Wan? Can you live an immortal life?" Nian Yuyun was a little funny. Looking at Murong Jin's serious expression, she always wanted to tease him.
Murong Jinbai gave her a white look: "Although it can't live immortality, it can come back to life and cure all diseases." This girl is getting less and less serious, but children in their teens should be so naive and lively.
"Is it a cure for all diseases? So awesome?" Wait, Nian Yun suddenly thought of something and snorted at Murong Jin: "Didn't you mean that you brought me to the desert to experience? Why did you come to find the Desert Star? I think you are looking for this desert star for Elder Ye Wen, right? Are you afraid of being chased by him?
That's right. They have been changing places. In addition to broadening Nian Yun's eyes, they are mainly escaping Ye Wen's pursuit. Joking, he abducted his prospective apprentice and drugged himself. Ye Wen could not be angry and wanted to skin Murong Jin?
"Cough, cough!" Murong Jin coughed awkwardly and said, "It's a practice! Just help old man Ye find this desert star casually. Anyway, he and I have been good friends for many years!"
"Exercise, practice riding a camel? Master, we have been gone for several days. In addition to sand, it is still sand! When are we going to go?" Nian Yuyun frowned slightly and was a little distressed.
"Tut, tut, tut!" Murong Jin shook his head old-fashionedly and said to Nian Yuyun with a hateful expression, "How many times have I told you? People who practice martial arts should be calm and not impatient! I can't stand it after walking for only a few days. That's okay.
"I don't know who almost made the boy who robbed him into a meat pie for the sake of a little sesame." Thinking about it, I still think it's a little funny.
That day, they were at the market. Nian Yun suddenly wanted to eat sand fruit, so she shouted to let Murong Jin take it to buy it. In this season, there are few sand fruits, and it took a long time to find one. As soon as they wanted to buy it, they were robbed by a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old teenager. Murong Jin was robbed like this, and he was very unconvinced. Did you bully him? He was chased a little irritably by Ye Wen, and immediately ran up and grabbed it back.
The boy was also arrogant. Seeing that the other party was a little old man, he reported to his teacher, let Murong Jin know more, and hand over the sand fruit quickly. He also said that if his master Liu Chengxu came, he would look good. Murong Jin lived at such an age that he had never met such a disrespectful junior except for Nian Yuyun. Forget about Nian Yuyun. Anyway, he is my own apprentice. I'll put up with it! But where did you get the green onion? How arrogant! If it spreads, he will be fooling around! Immediately rushed up and beat the other party.
If it hadn't been for the brother next to the boy who quickly apologized and sent some other food in addition to the sand fruit, Nian Yun would have gone up to dissuade him casually. I guess the boy would have been GAMEOVER.
"That's not because I'm afraid that your little girl didn't eat the sand fruit, and finally cried and made trouble." Murong Jin's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he said, "This is for you to be a teacher."
Nian Yuyun gave him a white look: "When did I cry and make trouble again? I won't do such a shameful thing!" Murong Jin also gave a blank glance. You can't cry, but you just like to open a pair of innocent eyes and look at my old man pitifully! It feels like I've done something heinous. Can I not take you to buy it?
Thinking so, Murong Jin didn't dare to say it. God knew how the girl would make things difficult for her after he said it. Murong Jin, a chivalrous man of a generation, is also famous in the world. He didn't think of it, but he was eaten to death by this girl and wanted to spread. Alas!
There is a kind of magic in the girl, and there is always a way for you to be willing to think about her and can't refuse any of her requests. Murong Jin looked at Nian Yuyun and sighed sadly. Forget it, who let him find such a big trouble by himself!
Nian Yuyun strangely glanced at Murong Jin, who was full of sadness, shrugged her shoulders, and turned her head to look ahead. Turning his head, Nian Yun Coke said, "Master, there is a small village in front of you!" After walking in the desert for several days, I can finally see the living people.
"Hmm." Murong Jin looked ahead and said, "Go there to rest, and then ask the people there about the desert star."
As soon as Murong Jin and his apprentice arrived at the entrance of the village on a camel, they saw a ten-year-old boy running out with his head in his arms, followed by several men and a woman. The men's expressions were a little helpless, while the women's faces were full of tears and sadness. Looking at their dress, it's a little like the dress of the Xinjiang people in the world where they were originally, but there is more cloth, and their hair is naturally long.
Just as the boy ran to Murong Jin's master and apprentice, he was caught by the men. The boy struggled to break free, and the hysteria roared, "Let go of me! I don't want to stay any longer, I don't want it! I'm leaving this damn place!" The boy's noise attracted the attention of many villagers. They looked at the boy with some sympathy and helplessness.
The woman cried and said to the boy, "Abu, you will die in the desert if you run out like this. It's not bad to stay here!"
The boy also cried, "Apa, I don't want it!" I'd rather die in the desert than keep it!"
The woman looked at the boy desperately: "You Dada disappeared in the desert many years ago. Do you have to follow in his footsteps? Do you have the heart to leave Apa alone?" The woman took a deep breath: "Okay, you're going to die, Apa will accompany you!"
Everyone present was shocked by the mother's words. However, the woman didn't care what everyone thought, but looked at the little boy calmly and said, "If you want to leave, just go!" Apa won't stop you anymore." After saying that, the woman bowed her head and hit the stone pillar at the entrance of the village. Seeing this, the villagers quickly grabbed the woman.
Villager A looked at the woman and sighed, "Abuta Niang, what's wrong with you?" Villager B also said, "Abu, you are going to let Apa die!" The little boy was obviously scared by what his mother did. How did he do it to let his mother die? But if you don't leave, do you mean to let him stay in this place where the bird doesn't shit for the rest of his life?
The little boy looked at his mother sadly: "Apa..." For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
Nian Yuyun looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "The vast desert, the dead sand sea. At a glance, yellow or yellow is always scorching yellow, not even a tree. Nian Yuyun said as he got off the camel and walked to the little boy.
Everyone looked at her and didn't understand what she was going to say. Nian Yuyun didn't look at them, but just looked at the little boy and continued to say, "But it doesn't matter? It won't affect this magical desert at all.
The little boy looked at Nian Yuyun in a daze: "Amazing?"
"Well, it's amazing." Nian Yuyun smiled at him and said, "Is the fairy tale-like mirage often looming in the rising heat waves in the desert? The desert is vast and insignificant, with endless ups and downs, and people suddenly look so small in it. The boundless desert is like a yellow sea. The sun shines on it, and ten thousand lights shine. Well, what a beautiful place!"
Everyone looked at Nian Yuyun incredulously. Is the desert so beautiful? They didn't find it before! In fact, they also want to escape from here like little boys...
"These are not the most magical places in the desert." When Nian Yuyun saw everyone looking at him in a daze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "The desert, its most magical place is here. Once life is born, it is difficult to die. Because of the difficult environment, it can often nurture a great and tenacious life."
She patted the little boy's head: "So, you should also be strong when you grow up here. How can you abandon the holy place that raised you and your mother because the environment is not suitable for you?" He said, and didn't forget to smile at the little boy.
"..." People looked at Nian Yuyun quietly and didn't know what to say for a moment. What did they do when this teenage girl could understand the problem?
"Really? Is the desert really so magical? Is it so beautiful?" The little boy looked at Nian Yuyun, and his eyes were full of hope.
Nian Yun smiled and nodded: "Hmm. The world is full of beauty. Whether it is the hot desert or the cold snowy mountains, it is very beautiful. What we lack is just the eyes that find beauty, do you understand?"
The little boy lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally looked up and nodded solemnly to Nian Yuyun. Then he knelt down to his mother: "Apa, Abu knows it's wrong. Abu will never fool around in the future and will not give up the desert and Apa."
Although the woman's face was full of tears, her smile was bright. She squatted down and hugged the little boy: "Abu, my Balam." Although this scene is not rare, it looks so touching to the people of the simple desert village that they can't help crying one after another. Maybe it's because many people's experiences are like this mother and son!
Nian Yuyun is also a little melancholy when looking at this scenery. If she can, she will not be far away from her hometown, her relatives... However, when Nian Yuyun was very emotional and sad, a very incongruous voice came into Nian Yuyun's ears: "Magic? Beautiful? Oh haha! Who was complaining about this and that an hour ago?" The sound is very low, so only Nian Yuyun can hear it.
The blue veins on Nian Yunyun's forehead jumped, calculated the distance according to the source of the sound, and stepped on it hard with his feet.
"Ah! You dead girl, do you want to rebel? How dare you be so disrespectful to be a teacher!" Murong sat on the ground and rubbed his feet, and didn't forget to stare at Nian Yun. Good girl, let's see how I deal with you in the future! But Nian Yun doesn't care about him? He hummed and raised his head high.
The villagers couldn't help laughing when the living treasure master and apprentice were so noisy. For a moment, the whole village was full of joy. The woman got up and leaned slightly at Nian Yuyun: "Thank you for helping to dissuade Abu, otherwise..."
Kerz? Nian Yuyun was stunned and then realized that it was probably a local name. I couldn't help but put away the play and smiled at the woman and said, "Madam, you're welcome. I just said my opinion. It's not a help."
"What a sensible child." The woman touched Nian Yun's head and said to Murong Jin, "I think you are from the middle!" If you don't mind, please go to the humble house and rest for a few days before leaving!"
Nian Yuyun smiled and said, "Okay! Then I'm sorry to bother you." After saying that, Murong Jin, who was still sitting on the ground, pulled up the little boy into the village. The woman looked at Murong Jin blowing his beard and staring on the ground with a funny look. She walked over and planned to help him up. When Murong Jin saw that the woman was coming to help him, he jumped up and waved his hand, signaling the woman to lead the way.
This little girl is becoming more and more arrogant. How dare she treat him like this? It's better not to let him seize the opportunity, otherwise... Humph!
