Chapter 124: A Thousand Miles of Red Earth

It took about ten days to get from Banan to Ancheng. I looked down slightly and flew towards Ancheng.

Along the way, Jiang Yunhe sat at the bow of the boat and could see birds flying around from time to time. Occasionally, he could see monks standing or sitting on magical instruments and spirit beasts. Both sides missed it far away. If they didn't know the other party's identity, no one would come forward to talk.

You can also see the majestic mountains, rivers, vast plains, lakes like oceans, and the shocking thousands of miles of barren land below...

Thousands of miles of barren land?

This was the fourth day after everyone set out. Not long after spending half a day passing through a huge lake, Jiang Yunhe saw dry land beginning to appear below, as if he had suddenly come from the ocean to the desert. However, there were dry and cracked land and barren villages everywhere below.

"What's wrong here?" Jiang Yunhe remembers that this place is not far from the lake like an inland sea. A thousand miles away can be said to be a natural barrier for ordinary people, but it should not be drying to this extent.

The height of the paper boat dropped a little, and I could see it more clearly. I could even see the dead mummies on the roadside, and the clothes on my body were still there. Obviously, the drought here was not too long.

"So that's the case here?"

"I came once three years ago, but it wasn't like that, how could this happen?" Xiang Zhi spoke with a sad face.

"Is it a drought?" Xin Haoqing, who was a weak scholar, looked down and hit his palm with a fan. He said in confusion.

"The drought bar has not been seen for a thousand years, so it is impossible to suddenly appear." Yang Bo, who is two meters tall and strong, decisively rejected it.

Along the way, there were only dry land and abandoned villages, all the fields were dried up, and all the plants were dead, as if they were dead here.

After another half an hour, Jiang Yunhe suddenly slowed down, "There are people below."

I saw a dirt platform below, and seven or eight people were worshiping.

"It should be asking for rain. But the air here is dry, without a trace of water, and there is no rain at all."

When I dropped the paper boat, I saw that seven or eight people below were all old and their clothes were worn and dirty.

"It's the immortal who is here, please help us." When the person below saw the paper boat falling, he turned around and knelt down and kowtowed, hunched over and was skinny.

"Super the Immortal, help the Immortal." The other people's voices were almost moaning, and even turning around and kneeling down made them a lot of effort.

The breath is so weak that it is not very good.

"Are you people nearby? Where are the others?" Xiang Zhi's face became even more worried after seeing these people.

"Xian Zheng, I am from this Linjia Village. They escaped from other places." An old man kowtowed several times on the ground and said tremblingly.

"Get up and talk first, don't kneel there." Jiang Yunhe frowned. He didn't know what others were doing. Anyway, he was not used to this kind of scene.

If someone kneels down in front of him, he will feel uncomfortable all over, let alone these old men.

"The others have left, but they can't live without, and they all have to die here. I don't know if they are alive or not... There were a few more people, but they have all died in the past few days, and only a few of us are left."

"Save us, the only well mud cannot squeeze out water." Another old man wanted to kneel down again.

"Speak while standing or sitting." Jiang Yunhe looked stern and felt a little sad. He really couldn't survive. If he hadn't passed by someone today, the few people in front of him would not be able to survive the day after tomorrow.

Throw a bag of water over.

"Drink first, and then tell me what's going on."

When the old man from Linjia Village was drinking water, Jiang Yunhe could see the light and desire in the eyes of several other people, which made him feel even more uncomfortable and particularly irritable.

Turning his head and looking into the distance, I couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

There were seven people in total. He just took a look and three of them were dead.

Even if I drink water, I can't survive.

As he thought, after the seven people drank water, three old men lay there quietly, gradually losing their breath, and there was still a hint of satisfaction on their faces.

Then, with the old man surnamed Lin's account, the few people finally knew what happened.

There are more than a hundred people in Linjia Village. This place can be considered as living and working in peace, but it has been here for hundreds of years, so it is considered as safe.

However, since three months ago, there has never been a drop of rain here. The rivers have dried up, the wells have dried up, and all the crops have died.

The younger ones left while they were still breathing, leaving only a few older clan elders leaning on a half-dry well.

Later, some people fled from other places one after another, and all those who could walk left, leaving only a few who could not walk here.

Later, the half-dry well was also dried, and the rest of the people were barely alive by digging the well mud, relying on the little water in the well mud, and some shrimps in the well mud.

The mud in the well was dug down by the old men who were trembling while walking for more than one meter. Such a tragic situation made Jiang Yunhe feel extremely upset.

When I was in school, I also saw countless records of famine or drought, peeling tree bark, eating Guanyin soil, changing children to eat, and starving. But the ones I saw in the book were just words and numbers, and how could I get one ten thousandth of what I saw with my own eyes.

"This place should be the Nulong River. It is under the jurisdiction of the Nulong River Water Lord. It is thousands of miles away from the ground and countless casualties. The Nulong River Water Lord really deserves to die." Yang Bo stomped his feet fiercely.

"The Lord of the Rage Dragon River?"

"The Lord of the Mirlong River was taken over as the Lord of Water Seal three thousand years ago and was in charge of the position of traveling clouds and rains in a radius of thousands of miles. This place is so miserable that it cannot be separated from Him." Pei Yin, who had been silent, said.

"In addition to the water king's clouds and rain, this place is also regulated by the imperial court. I want to know what the local government is doing and indulging it to cause such a tragedy."

"The place here should be Daoxi County, and the county city of Jiangpu is more than 8,000 miles northeastward."

"Then let's go." Jiang Yunhe decided to go to Didao to inquire about what was going on.

"Senior Brother Jiang, what should we do?" Xin Haoqing looked at Jiang Yunhe with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Take it away first, find the right place before putting it down." Jiang Yunhe waved his hand, feeling very bad.

In the end, I didn't understand what happened here to make it happen.

He took a few old men who had only one breath onto the paper boat, and Jiang Yunhe walked around again, but no one was found.

If these people were not lucky enough to have a slow-dry well, they would have died long ago, so how could they have waited until now?

After half a day of delay, everyone moved forward again and saw more dry bones along the way.

Many people who fled died on the road.

Gradually, two hours later, I saw the fugitives moving forward with difficulty.

Jiang Yunhe hesitated for a moment, but did not go down, but instead accelerated.

How many people can this ship save? On the contrary, it is better to arrive in Jiangpu City earlier, and maybe you can save a few more people.

Fortunately, there is a little green here, so these people should be able to stick with it in a short period of time.

Two more hours passed, I saw dark clouds covering the roof in front of me, heavy rainstorms continued, and there was a vast ocean above the earth, with thousands of fish, shrimp and monsters standing on the waves.

And in this vast ocean is a big city that tightly blocks the ocean outside the city.

Seeing that the water on the ground was still ten meters away, it was level with the city wall.

You should know that the walls of the city of the city are fifty meters high, let alone the walls of the county city.

When the people on the boat saw this scene, their faces changed.
