Join the Great Wall Guard

Chapter 171 Returning to Thousand Caves

"One, two, three"

From the rough and scorching gravel, one after another local books were found, while Lu Yu kept silently counting the number of them in his heart.

Although these books have already been attacked by the wind and sand on the deserted land for many times, and they are tortured by the impermanence of cold and warm. The words and content in the book, however, immediately appeared in front of my eyes, as if they were brand new and had never been changed.

As Gallo said, books are fleeting things, but civilizations will last forever.

The scholars of Thousand Cave City, the crystallization of wisdom pursued for generations, is contained in this seemingly simple and unpretentious book, which makes people feel a little embarrassed.

Whether it is a ruined wall or a Gobi oasis, the figures of Lu Yu and Jia Luo are constantly shuttling back and forth, welcoming the change of the sun and the moon, as well as the interlacing of darkness and light.

Along the way, of course, as Jialuo advised, if you can’t find a station, you have to sleep in the open under the sun exposure in the morning or the severe cold in the evening.

However, the two of them did not complain about it. On the contrary, it was like a journey. Both Lu Yu and Jia Luo were immersed in the joy and laughter of finding the books—the distance from success was even closer. One step further.

Compared with the impermanent temperature and ruthless wind and sand, the mutual greeting and care between the two can inspire each other more.

Looking at Lu Yu's serious search, Jia Luo was also infected, which she did not expect. Lu Yu, who helped her find the books, was even more attentive than herself.

"Excuse me, Lu Yu"

Looking at Lu Yu's back under the setting sun, Jia Luo murmured to himself.

For some reason, his serious face is always lingering in my mind, and I can't shake it off.

"Ding! Jia Luo's favorability has increased by 20 points!"

Lu Yu, who was planing the sand, suddenly heard a system voice in his head, which made him raise his head quietly and look behind him.

When the eyes of the two collided, there seemed to be a sound of "pop" in the air, and Lu Yu turned around quickly, while Jia Luo was a little at a loss.

"Ahem, Jia Luo, how are you doing here?"

In order to avoid such embarrassment, Lu Yu dug out the books in the sand in front of him, and walked towards Jia Luo.

"I'm fine here."

Jia Luo was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses. He gently pushed back the wine-red hair on his forehead, looked at Lu Yu, and showed a soft smile.

There seemed to be a hint of anticipation in the smile.

"That's good, if there is any accident, let me know."

But Lu Yu didn't notice the special meaning in Jia Luo's expression.

"Um"

Dai Mei frowned slightly, but soon stretched out, it seemed that there was no change at all, Jia Luo smiled lightly and nodded.

"Then I will continue to look for books."

Originally, Lu Yu found a topic out of wanting to avoid putting the two of them in an embarrassing situation, but he failed to continue the topic. Instead, the atmosphere between the two seemed to be even more awkward, so he had to find a reason excused.

Of course, this embarrassing episode didn't last long, and soon disappeared into the joy of discovering the book.

From sunset to morning sun, and then from day to night, the footsteps of the two were engraved in the vast desert.Even if the sky is full of wind and sand, these footprints will eventually be obliterated, but the direction to which the footprints lead will always be remembered.

This period of time together was not too long, but it was not short either, but the fragments that occupied the memory, especially for Jia Luo, were not inferior to the warmth of the past.

Walking with Lu Yu, Jia Luo could feel the burst of vitality and hope from him, just like the rising sun every day, bringing warm sunshine to himself every moment.

Moreover, Lu Yu knew a lot of knowledge, and even had some knowledge that Jia Luo had never heard of.

Whenever Lu Yu talked about the wonderful things that seemed to come from the future world, Jia Luo also listened with gusto.

This long-lost warm feeling is like snuggling in the arms of my father when I was a child, listening to him tell stories about this continent.

Even Jia Luo was a little immersed in this world that belonged to the two of them alone, and some were reluctant to go out.

This feeling is much more reassuring and happier than searching for it alone.

If one day, when Lu Yu disappeared from his sight, then he would probably be sad to the point of tears again.

It took nearly half a month, which was far less than Jia Luo's budget, and she and Lu Yu finally searched for all the books left in the cloud and desert.

Along the way, they passed through village strongholds, Gobi oases, ruined walls, and even wild lands where demons infested.

However, although crises occurred from time to time along the way, there were no accidents.

The two of them returned from the scorching desert with their bags full on their backs, and stood in front of Thousand Cave City again.

"Father, no, we're back."

Looking at the illusory hometown standing in the ruins, only the vicissitudes of the wind blow up from time to time, Jia Luo's voice became a little trembling.

"Gara, this is not the time to be sad. We have collected all the books in Thousand Cave City. Next, it is time to restore Thousand Cave City to its former glory. As the guardian, you should be happier That's right."

Walking behind Jia Luo, comforting her softly, Lu Yu patted her shoulder lightly.

"Well, Lu Yu, these days, thanks to you."

Looking back, Jia Luo did not avoid Lu Yu's gaze, showing a gentle and pleasant smile.

One eye captivates the city, one smile captivates the country.Jia Luo's beautiful smile looking back, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world, made Lu Yu slightly absent-minded.

"I'm just, doing what I'm supposed to do."

After recovering, Lu Yu scratched the back of his head and smiled.

"My clansmen, as well as my father, their spirits in heaven, will definitely be very grateful to you."

Galo, this is not a false praise.Finding the wandering books is not only to find the lost civilization, but also to bring back the souls buried in the wind and sand, relying on the wisdom contained in the books, so that they can finally return to their hometown.

Lu Yu not only helped himself, but also helped his clansmen, helped his father, and was able to realize his unfulfilled long-cherished wish.
