Plague Doctor

From the town of Usa to the Bunazik Desert, there are land and water routes.

Land routes pass through the towns of Neil and Khatig, through a section of the "Stone Wilderness”, through a city called Meroy, and into the north of the desert. Quickly, about a month away, the road is long, but relatively safe.

And the waterway goes west of the Skye River, past Mount Lerion, and directly from the river to the east of the desert. Quickly, it will only take about 10 days, although there are many unknown dangers along this road, especially the passage of a river through the grasslands, where merchant boats are frequently attacked by the Osalans.

To catch up, Gu Jun chose the waterway.

He left Usa town with quite a few questions.

He wanted to go to Mount Khatig-Kora to see that mysterious monument on the top of the mountain, and he wanted to learn more about the dream world with Atal, or with his ancestors. But going back to Earth was the first priority, and more knowledge might prevent him from leaving, so he deliberately ignored it.

As for what the holy things were, the peacock refused to say, "You'll find out when you get there.” Seems just to cheat him on the past.

The vines on his feet, the ancestors each say, are a plant called the Vine of Life, which integrates with flesh and blood.

This kind of gentle grasp by Joe, in the eastern continent of the phytophage vine forest is called fierce, where the vines catch all kinds of passing creatures, humans are the most, some people are conscious, but they can only grow there and can't move.

Biologically, it shouldn't have happened, but it's a dream world, and here's the law.

“These gentle vines are part of your body now.” Ancestor said, “Actually, you can control them, don't believe you. ”

Gu Jun made this attempt to bring the spirit together in the past. It does control their swing. A vine is like more limbs.

This seems to be… useful in some way. But he knows that this thing is also eroding and changing him, that structure determines function, and perhaps humanity.

So he asked Joe to get rid of it. Ancestor told him to take a medicine called "Vine Return Wine”. He said that after a few days of drinking it, the phytophage vines in his body would naturally wither away, without having to hurt his bones.

Gu Jun took the program, but asked Ancestor to accompany him and take the wine for five consecutive days. I did animal experiments, and then the peacock participated in human experiments, and nothing happened before I started taking them myself.

“Mr. Nightmareman, it's an honor to test you.” Peacock is brave and doesn't hide his thoughts: “I just hope that my little help will give you more fondness for our people. ”

Unlike Ink Qing, Ink Qing is stubborn and doesn't say much.

Peacock is the kind of person who is willing to do everything, and even when humiliated, she does not retreat.

Gu Jun had great respect for such people, and had no ill intentions towards them. If there was deliberate difficulty, it was just a test. He has not relaxed his guard, these people may be evil followers at any moment and are leading him into a trap.

It was a coincidence that the tranquillity of the three towns of Usa had suddenly become worse as the merchant ships they had embarked on had just entered the Mount Lerion area.

There have been thunderstorms on the top of Mount Rillion for many years, and incessant torrential rainforests continue to sweep through the pristine rainforest. By the seventh day, as merchant ships approached the southwest, they saw the uncertain grasslands, high weeds blocked all sights, and the peril grew hundredfold.

“When we were kids, we all thought about burning down this meadow so no Osalans would bother us. ”

Peacock said a small thing, "Adults say no, you can't burn it. But we don't believe it. Look at all this grass. A little fire will burn the ocean. ”

“Hmm." Gu Jun knew that yes, it was already autumn, the weeds were getting yellow, extremely flammable, and there seemed to be no rain here.

“Then a few of us...” Peacock shook his head and laughed a few times, “Me, Ink Green, Gold Column, Water Ball and them, we snuck out of the tribe, walked three days to the edge of the prairie, we set fire, it was so big... it was really a flaming sea. When we get back, we don't have to sleep to be happy. ”

She talked about staying here, and the tone became lonely, "but the Aussalans came that year. ”

Gu Jun heard the silence, and these days he stayed together, the more he could feel the emotional truth of each other...

For those who wandered the earth, he asked Ancestors in front of the two peacocks.

“The earth wanderers are a bunch of weirdos.” The clapping sounds of the ancestors seem a little confusing, "we don't know about them. ”

Is there anything else Joe doesn't understand? He asked why, and the ancestors each said, "Their settlements are very secret and difficult to find, but they cannot be found and approached. ”

“Our tribe has always been on high alert.” Peacock explains, "With all due respect, no tribe would welcome Joe's sneaky visit. Otherwise, all our defensive tactics will be in the hands of the Osalans the next day. We can't even sneak a mouse in there. ”

“But you're too tight.” The ancestors are very emotional, "but I'm also new to Bunazik, this time to see how you can prevent it. ”

Peacock was right. Gu Jun felt that if he was a sheikh, he would have to get rid of these mice.

On the eighth day, after disembarking from a merchant ship at the mouth of the river, they turned to a camel caravan and marched in the hot yellow desert.

More than two days away, the closer to the tribal settlement, the more nervous, anticipating and enthusiastic the peacocks and ink, the brighter the eyes are always.

Gu Jun also has this complex mood. It may be more complicated than them. What is the origin of this family? Kanghai Mulberry? The future, parallel worlds?

After these ten days, he has basically believed that he can help as much as he wants, and as Peacock said, he and they are one of them after all.

He can't think of anything in the Nakert Transcript. Maybe the Doctoral Wisdom can?

The afterglow of the sunset reflected the undulating yellow sand, and the camels stepped on a string of footprints, pulling the caravan forward.

“Mr. Nightmareman, look, that's it! Our spark city.” When the peacock was excited, he suddenly saw something and shouted: "Little white sugar!” She laughed and introduced: “The little guy is called White Sugar, our sister. ”

Peacock jumped out of the caravan and ran over, "Sugar, go and notify the city. A VIP is here! Of course there's a gift for you, from Dilas-Lynn, look.” She took out a puppy pottery doll and passed it forward, "here you go. ”

“Little sugar!” The ink blue in the caravan shouted, "the pottery doll is more expensive than a real dog. ”

They were thrilled, but in the car, Gu Jun's heart had sinked into the abyss, staring around...

There are no children in front. There are no tribal towns in front either.

Without even a few broken walls, there is only a tiny piece of lake close to depletion and a pile of rocks and weeds.

Peacock let go, the puppy Pottery fell on the yellow sand, and she was still laughing: "Don't listen to Ink Green, don't worry about the price, just like you like it. ”

“Really some weirdo.” And the ancestors in the trunk said, “That's where they live, but our ancestors have never found anyone. ”
