Chapter 470 Drought
Seven days later, Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian entered Yongzhou.
Yongzhou is located in the northwest of Daqian. It has a vast area, magnificent scenery, and unique customs and culture.
Zhang Yuan had also heard of his name for a long time.
But after following the caravan into the state, he soon noticed something was wrong.
Midsummer has long passed, and it is now Mid-Autumn Festival. I could feel the chill when I camped at night.
But once you enter Yongzhou, the temperature suddenly warms up, and the deeper you go, the hotter it gets.
During the day, the sun hangs high in the sky, emitting endless light and heat, illuminating the dry earth.
There were almost no green trees on the roadside, the wilderness was full of withered yellow grass, and the air felt like fire when inhaled into the lungs.
Along the way, the people and animals in the caravan trudged under the scorching sun, feeling tired and anxious.
What’s even more frightening is that at the beginning, you can still find water near the road.
Later, the riverbed was exposed and the ground was cracked. Dried fish, shrimps, crabs and turtles could be seen everywhere, emitting an unpleasant smell.
The caravan that Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian joined had hundreds of pack horses and mounts, plus the needs of the personnel, the daily consumption of drinking water was a very large number.
But now it is becoming increasingly difficult to find water, and hundreds of people in the entire caravan are facing the dilemma of having no water to drink.
In desperation, the caravan leader had to send guards to search in more distant areas.
This resulted in a significant reduction in the team's progress.
After turning into the official road of Yongzhou, the situation became even more terrifying.
Dead bodies kept appearing on the roadside.
Most of these corpses were of the elderly, the weak, women and children. They were all ragged and skinny, and most of them were dried up by the scorching sun.
When the caravan passed by, some wild dogs were gnawing on the corpse.
They stared with their scarlet eyes, not afraid of the caravan guards, but barking at them fiercely.
The guards in the caravan were already anxious and annoyed, so how could they tolerate the provocation of these man-eating wild dogs?
Kill them one by one immediately!
Some wild dogs were scared away, but were chased and hacked to death.
"Big shopkeeper!"
Not long after, two caravan guards hurried back with a man and reported to the caravan leader: "This man is still alive, do you want to save him?"
The man they brought back was wearing blue clothes, looked to be in his thirties or forties, was dying and had a pale face.
Although he had nothing, he did not look like an ordinary citizen.
The caravan leader hesitated for a moment and said, "Saving a life is better than building a nine-story tower. Since we have encountered this, it is his fate."
So he called the doctor in the caravan to treat him.
The doctor gave the man in blue several sips of medicine, but he didn't wake up. Then he took his pulse again and finally shook his head and said, "No, there's no hope."
The leader of the caravan sighed and said, "Forget it, let's dig a hole and bury him."
He had a kind thought for a moment, but he didn't expect the other party's fate to be so bad.
"and many more."
At this moment, Mo Huaian stepped forward and said, “Let me see.”
The caravan leader and the doctor were both shocked and quickly saluted, saying, "Greetings, Master Mo!"
Seven days ago, Zhang Yuan and Mo Huaian met the caravan. After learning the latter's destination, they decided to follow them.
After the caravan leader learned that Mo Huaian was a traveling wizard, he not only did not refuse, but also treated them with great respect and courtesy along the way, treating the two as guests of honor.
These people who travel back and forth all year round have good vision and experience.
Apart from anything else, with a mage in the team, there is no need to be afraid of ordinary weirdness, which greatly increases safety.
I can’t even invite him if I pay on weekdays, so how can I refuse him!
The destination of this caravan was Yong'an, the capital of Yongzhou.
One of Mo Huai'an's elders was the abbot of Qingfeng Temple in Yong'an City. "No need to be polite."
Mo Huaian waved his hand, then leaned over and reached out to open the eyelids of the man in green.
The young wizard pondered for a moment, then put his index and middle fingers together to form a sword and suddenly stabbed the opponent in the middle of his eyebrows.
"wake up!"
He shouted softly, and a hint of light shone through his fingertips.
The next moment, the dying man in green shook all over, groaned softly, and slowly opened his eyes.
The caravan leader and the doctor nearby witnessed this scene, not daring to breathe, their eyes filled with awe.
It’s amazing!
"never mind."
Mo Huaian retracted his finger and said, "His vitality has been depleted too much. He needs to rest for a while before he can recover."
After a pause, Mo Huaian added: “It would be best if you could feed him a few slices of ginseng.”
"clear."
The leader of the caravan ordered without hesitation: "Come here, bring three slices of ginseng!"
If Mo Huaian hadn't been there, he would have been doing the most kindly by asking the doctor to feed him a few sips of medicine, and there was absolutely no way he would have sacrificed the life-saving ginseng slices.
Now that Mo Huaian has spoken up, if the caravan leader pretends to be stupid, he would be a real idiot.
"Ah."
Mo Huaian was very satisfied with the other party's understanding, and handed a small jade talisman to the leader of the caravan: "This amulet is good for children at home."
The leader of the caravan was immediately overjoyed and quickly took it with both hands respectfully: "Thank you for the generous gift, Master!"
Even though he didn't know much about talismans, he knew that what Mo Huaian gave him was definitely a good thing.
The caravan leader knew very well that this was a reward given to him by the latter.
Mo Huaian nodded slightly, then turned back.
Zhang Yuan, who was watching the whole process, said calmly: "Is it worth it? You can't save many people."
"I know."
Mo Huaian smiled bitterly and said, “Just ask for a clear conscience.”
Zhang Yuan smiled: "That's right."
After spending a long time with this young wizard, Zhang Yuan has a good understanding of Mo Huaian's character.
In this corrupt world, I hope that after experiencing more experience, he will still be a young man!
Zhang Yuan changed his mind, put away his smile, and asked in a deep voice: "Junior brother, have you noticed anything wrong?"
Mo Huaian nodded: “Yes.”
The situation in Yongzhou is very abnormal, not like an ordinary drought.
As a true disciple of the younger generation of Shang Jingtian, Mo Huaian's spiritual perception is as sharp as Zhang Yuan's.
But there was nothing they could do right now.
The young mage thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Yong'an City and meet Uncle Fang Hui first."
Zhang Yuan naturally had no objection.
As the sky gradually darkened, the caravan set up camp near the official road.
The hot and dry weather is best for traveling at night.
However, the wilderness is full of strange creatures and traveling at night is extremely dangerous. After weighing the pros and cons, this is the only choice we can make.
As usual, the caravan leader sent people to look for water nearby.
As a result, not long after the crowd dispersed, several guards hurriedly rode back on their horses.
One of them shouted, "Boss, bandits, a large number of bandits have been spotted in the southeast!"
The caravan leader was shocked: "What?"
The temporary camp, which had not yet been fully set up, suddenly became chaotic. (End of this chapter)
