1175. Chapter 1175: 1175 Entering the Desolate Castle Alone
Gradually, Haitang got closer to the city, closer.
When Haitang thought she had reached the edge of the city, she found that she had not arrived at all.
Obviously according to the geographical distance, he should have arrived, but there is nothing around him under his feet, only patches of sand...
What's going on?
Where is the city? Haitang looked around, but there was no trace. Not a brick or a tile could be seen. When he was lying on the stone, he could clearly see that it was a city, although it was a bit desolate...
Haitang was hesitant. Could it be that he was too tired after walking for more than 20 years and had hallucinations?
No, that's not an illusion. How could an illusion be so real?
Ever since she left Yunqi Country, Haitang felt very relaxed. She didn't need to think about anything. Along the way, it was as if a plague had broken out on the earth and everyone died except for herself.
I keep doing maintenance every day, so it shouldn't be an hallucination caused by overwork.
In order to confirm his idea, Haitang walked in the opposite direction, walked to the stream, lay down on the stone, turned around and looked over, and could still see the desolate city, its original appearance and general appearance.
It's not an illusion, it exists.
Haitang stood up and continued to move forward. In more than twenty days, he saw a city for the first time, and it must have been something that no one from Yunqi Kingdom had discovered. How could he not be excited?
I don't know who lives in that city.
Begonia is very curious.
When we arrived, we saw yellow sand again but no city. It became a barren land.
Looking up at the sky, Haitang seemed to suddenly understand that there was sand all around here. Could it be an oasis in the forest, reflecting the scene of the city in the distance?
This discovery did not disappoint Haitang, but made her even more interested, because it meant that there must be a city not far away or far away, in short.
Haitang searched in four directions: southeast, northwest, and finally found the city after searching for several days.
It is the same as the reflected image.
Walking in, its desolation exceeded Haitang's imagination.
On the street, there are even widows and widowers, old, young, sick and disabled. Many people are holding bowls begging for food, but the bowls are empty...
"Another poor place? Why do I always fall into the poverty pit?" Haitang thought.
At this time, an old man begging for food came over. Seeing that Haitang was a stranger, he picked up the bowl.
"Visitors from far away, please do well and enjoy the food." The old man said.
Haitang happened to have some leftover wild vegetable pancakes she made in her backpack, so she took it out and gave one to her old man...
Seeing someone offering food, everyone rushed over to beg for food, and almost ate Haitang and her backpack. Seeing this, Haitang naturally felt pity and took everything edible in the bag, including the wild fruits.
Come out and share as much as possible with everyone...
Everyone was eating eagerly. It looked like they hadn't eaten in a long time.
"Old man, where is this place? Why don't we see any young people here?" Haitang asked.
"All the young people have been captured and sent to fight in the war. We old, weak, sick and disabled people cannot grow crops and have to beg for food every day. We have nothing to eat. Alas, several people starved to death yesterday." The old man sighed.
"War?" Haitang couldn't see the smoke and flames of war here, only desolation, poverty, old people and children.
"Anyway, they were taken to fight in far away places, and none of them came back. They don't even know whether they are dead or alive, so just treat them as dead." The old man sighed.
