When the people watching him on the street stood up, Chen Changsheng also realized that it was time for him to leave.
Slowly, five or six people around him walked towards him, and Chen Changsheng turned into an alley.
When those people came over, they found that there was no one in the alley and they had disappeared.
At this time, Chen Changsheng had already appeared outside Shuijin City.
In front of me is a vast desert, with not a trace of smoke in sight.
This also means that he still has a long way to go.
Chen Changsheng hesitated for a moment.
In fact, he was aimless, and he was aimless along the way, so I just chose a direction at random, and he didn't care where it would lead.
But you will eventually reach a place.
There are footprints left one after another on the sand dunes, but within half an hour those footprints will be covered up by the wind and sand.
So it is difficult to leave traces of people, but there are still lives here.
The wind and sand poured down. Chen Changsheng didn't know how long he had been walking, but what he could feel was that the wind and sand around him became less and less.
Gradually he saw the oasis and saw someone pulling a carriage to fetch water here.
It's probably going to be taken to a certain city to be sold.
Chen Changsheng originally wanted to join them, but when he saw that those people were from the Northern Desert, he did not step forward to disturb them.
If someone doesn't welcome you, there's no need to go forward.
Of course, Chen Changsheng cannot be said to be annoying, they are all human beings, the only difference is their character.
He bypassed the oasis and walked farther away.
It wasn't until he saw the land from a distance that he knew he was going in the right direction and not in the opposite direction.
He didn't know how long he had walked before he saw a city standing in front of him.
The words "Jiang Ancient City" are engraved on the top of the city.
This place is close to the desert, but this city has such a name.
Chen Changsheng was curious about this, so he walked into the city.
What also surprised Chen Changsheng was that the people stationed outside the city were also Beimo people, but they just looked at him lightly and did not stop him.
This also means that this ancient city of Jiang is also the current city in the Northern Desert.
Among the people entering the city, there were also many people from Daxiang.
It's easy to tell from the appearance.
Most of these people have traveled a long way to get here, dragging their goods with them in the dust.
Understand that this also means that there is still trade between Daxiang and the current Beimo.
For the five cities that occupy Daxiang, the trade routes still continue, which is hard to understand.
After entering the city, Chen Changsheng came to a shop selling food.
After ordering a bowl of noodles, he asked the waiter to inquire about it.
The waiter told Chen Changsheng about Jiang Gucheng.
This name is a bit special, but in fact, we can understand why it is so through history. Many years ago, this was the end of the Tongtian River. However, with the subsequent invasion of wind and sand, the river dried up, and the river in front of us was also affected by wind and sand.
If it is covered up, there will be no end in sight.
But the name has been passed down.
But what surprised Chen Changsheng was that the waiter was actually from Daxiang.
Chen Changsheng asked: "You are a Daxiang person, why did you come here?"
After hearing this, the waiter said helplessly: "Otherwise, there is nothing we can do. Who would be willing to come to a place like this?"
"no way?"
Then the waiter explained the current situation in Daxiang. It was not that there were constant wars and the people had no fields to farm, but they had no food to eat. In the end, all the food grown was handed over to the prince above him.
Taxes are so heavy that people can't breathe.
As a last resort, the child and a few people from his hometown ran to Beimo and opened a shop.
So I can't earn much money, but I can barely make ends meet and won't starve to death.
Chen Changsheng frowned after hearing this.
As Xiao Er slowly narrated, he also learned about the original Seven Kings Rebellion and the current five forces.
"Da Xiang turned into this in the blink of an eye..."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng sighed in his heart, feeling a little uncomfortable for no reason.
More of a worry.
I wonder what happened to Qiuyuefang and what Qingshan City will look like?
The waiter sighed and said: "When I came here, I was afraid that the people from the Northern Desert would cause trouble for us. After I came, I realized that I was overthinking it. They are very different from the rumors. They are not jackals, tigers or leopards. On the contrary, most of them
People are very reasonable.”
Many years ago, when the Northern Desert invaded Dajing, they massacred the city, but now things are completely different.
The nation gradually developed etiquette and education over history.
All this is due to some policies in the Xixiao era.
At that time, King Xixiao promoted education, which allowed the people of the Northern Desert to understand principles and etiquette. After more than ten years of influence, this famous clan changed.
Chen Changsheng said: "At that time, King Xi Xiao indeed paid special attention to education."
The waiter smiled and said: "I have heard from some guest officials in the Northern Desert before, saying that King Xi Xiao also asked them to study at that time. They were all thirty-four years old at that time. They were originally leading troops to fight, but
You still have to go to school with your doll."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but feel a little ironic.
Many years ago, everyone in the world hated the people of the Northern Desert for scolding them for killing and cruelty. Now the world is in troubled times, and the world is starving and everyone is in danger. Those in high positions have no shame and have forgotten etiquette. They
The things they left behind were picked up by the Northern Desert people whom they had cursed for being cruel.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Then if you get rich later and won't be bullied anymore, will you return to Daxiang?"
The waiter paused and smiled: "Of course I will."
But the waiter told lies.
He could naturally tell that Chen Changsheng was not from the Northern Desert.
He is a waiter who opens the door to do business, and he will not say things that the guest officers are not happy to hear.
When Chen Changsheng saw this, he said: "Chen doesn't care about this. Just tell the truth and I won't be angry with you."
When the waiter saw what the guest officer said, he paused and said, "Sir, do you want to hear the truth?"
"Um."
The waiter sighed and said, "Let me tell you. In fact, I don't know if I can go back."
"In the final analysis, I am just a waiter. What I think about every day is, can I have enough to eat? Can I afford clothes? People like you, guest officer, must be educated people. Learned people know that family
The great righteousness of the country is not like us who are anxious to live. Only when people are alive can they have the heart to consider these things. It sounds a bit confusing, but what I know is that here I can make a full meal for the whole family.
I won’t be bullied by others, but if I return to Daxiang, I will either starve to death or die of exhaustion..."
"But if you can really go back, who wouldn't want to? After all, it's your home, and who wants to be in a foreign land."
