“This Yueban Lake is from the past. There has been no water for a long time. Besides, it is all sandy and not suitable for farming. Even grass doesn’t grow there.
In order to prevent the sand from being blown everywhere, we planted some trees nearby and surrounded the ruins of the lake.
After so many years, the trees grew bigger and bigger, and with no one to clean them up, they blocked the original road.
If you want to come here now, you can only go around from the back."
"I see. Sorry."
Song Yi said this lightly, without any extra expression.
What place is this? Logically speaking, there should be green trees everywhere in the Qinling Mountains, so how could there be sand?
However, it is possible that the lake bottom has undergone sedimentation over the years.
Soon, we arrived at the place where we planted trees.
There did appear to be quite a few trees, a long row of them, but now they were all leafless.
Many branches have fallen off, and the place looks quite desolate.
Jiang Yuan couldn't understand why the situation down the mountain was so devastating.
There is nothing serious here, the houses and trees are all fine.
It was just like an ordinary wind. When the tornado passed by, people dozens of meters away would be affected, but here there was no damage at all.
I really can't understand the principle behind this.
In this case, it was easier for them to get through by squeezing through the gaps between the trees.
Ye Mianmian suddenly grabbed her arm. Jiang Yuan turned around and saw her anxious face.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Yuan, why do I feel so uncomfortable here?"
Uh, is there?
"Mianmian, don't be nervous, it's daytime now, let's go over and take a look.
If it doesn't fit, then don't stay here.
The area inside the mountain is very large, there is always room for us to stay.”
Her words of comfort were also heard by the people around her.
It's a disguised form of encouragement, alas!
Soon, everyone arrived at the legendary Moon Lake.
This location is indeed very close to the village. In fact, if the last row of houses were higher, you could see the scenery here from the windows.
"Brother, this is it, take a look."
Master Teng was holding a stick, the most common kind, used for gaining leverage when climbing the mountain.
The rest of the people also looked curious.
Yueban Lake is the place they have always wanted to come to. Now that they have found it, they should be very excited.
But the scene before me was too desolate.
If you ignore the outside, it feels like the northwest desert.
An area surrounded by a circle of trees, with a sunken dry lake in the middle.
Now, there is white sand all around.
When the wind blows, they fly wildly all over the sky.
It has nothing to do with the imagined paradise. Mr. Teng, a local, doesn't understand why everyone wants to come here.
“Has this sand always been there?”
“Yes, there used to be more.
Over the years, it has gotten a lot better.”
He seemed quite satisfied in his words.
Jiang Yuan didn't know what to say, so she turned and looked at Song Yi.
He frowned as well, thinking about the possibilities.
If this is really the case, the environment is really bad.
There must be some secret that they haven't discovered yet.
Seeing that he was thinking, the others did not disturb him.
"Master Teng, please help us. Let's take a look around."
"Okay, take a look. Remember to stay away from the sand. It's blinding."
Jiang Yuan thanked him. In addition to this man, two other young men followed him down.
The rest were all standing in front of the big tree, looking as if they were avoiding something.
She didn't understand and was too embarrassed to ask.
I took two steps forward and squatted down to look at the sand. There was nothing special.
It's just a little too white, not quite the same as the one on the beach.
"Okay, if that's the case, then we'll go first.
You guys watch it and then come back and tell us what the result is.”
"good!"
Song Yi did not refuse and asked Lu Er and Xiao Ma to send the person under the tree and then come back.
"Did you find anything?"
"No……"
Jiang Yuan told the truth, what kind of discoveries could be made in a place like this.
There is sand everywhere, and it's still a hassle to figure out what to do with it.
"How about this, we come back here in the evening, or should we just stay here and not leave yet?"
She still wanted to ask Song Yi about this important matter.
"I always feel that this place has its own secrets. Jiang Yuan, do you believe that men also have a sixth sense?"
Uh, this guy actually still remembers what she said last time.
"I believe it, but are you sure your sixth sense is accurate?"
"Well, I believe..."
My goodness, sometimes, it’s really hard to tell whether he is joking or talking about serious matters.
He is definitely a master of expression management, I can’t envy him enough.
"Brother Song, is this where we are going? I don't think there is anything special about it.
Even if you want to build a house here, it's not a good place!"
Zhang Kaiyang came running over noisily, but there was nothing wrong with what he said.
"Kaiyang, don't think too much. I think the earthquake will happen again soon.
We have to find a place to stay, and this is the best choice."
Jiang Yuan didn't expect that he would tell Zhang Kaiyang everything.
Although some small details were concealed, everyone knew the specific things.
Come to think of it, this group of people all got together halfway.
In comparison, Zhang Kaiyang is trustworthy.
“In this case, we need to find a more solid place.
Otherwise, it’s all over.”
Jiang Yuan decided to help Song Yi and went over to persuade him.
“You are wrong. If the level is higher, even the strongest buildings may collapse.
It's better to find an open space, do you understand?"
As he said that, he gave him a look.
The empty place, isn't that right here? There is no such empty place as Yueban Lake, even the water is gone.
"So, this is why we are looking for this place?"
Well, this kid’s train of thought is really bizarre, but let him understand it however he wants to, it doesn’t matter.
"Kaiyang, come with me tonight. We'll stay here directly."
"Live here? Brother Song, you must be kidding. There's nothing here and the weather is so cold.
If there was a tent, we could make do with it.”
He started to complain incessantly, and Song Yi quickly reached out to interrupt him.
"So, you don't want to come along?"
"No, I just think it's unnecessary. Is our starting point wrong?"
