Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2651 Goddess Lake

It was very cold outside that night, but Ye Yuze slept very warmly because Xiao Guli felt cold in the middle of the night and crawled into his felt blanket.

The girls here are innocent and enthusiastic, without any messy thoughts in their minds. Neither does Ye Yuze, because he did not take off his clothes.

Looking at Guli curled up in his arms like a kitten, Ye Yuze felt that he was very great and hugged her tighter like an old father.

The old lady got up early, and by the time they all woke up, the milk had already been squeezed back.

It was Guli's job to light the stove and make milk tea, and Ye Yuze helped her light the stove.

There are few cows here, so what is burned is not cow dung, but some weeds and red willow branches, as well as some poplar trunks.

After the milk tea was ready, Guli fried some baursak and had it with dried fish for breakfast.

Ye Yuze really likes the fish roasted with pollen. It is not only not fishy but also has a special fragrance.

There is snow in the desert in winter, but very little. The high sand dunes are no longer endless yellow, but dotted with patches of white, just like a Dalmatian.

This is a rare view in the desert, and it cannot be preserved for a few days.

Ye Yuze is not a person who likes taking photos, but he still couldn't help but take a lot of photos with his mobile phone.

Guli led a camel to him and told him that if he climbed up the sand dune, he would find a beautiful lake.

Ye Yuze naturally knew that Haizi was a lake, and he found it hard to believe that there could be a lake in the desert.

The water on this side of the village comes from the Tarim River, which flows along the edge of the desert, so there are many plants there.

Further in, there are high sand dunes, but there are no plants on them. How is it possible that there is a lake in the sand dunes?

Guli told him that the place was called Goddess Lake. In the Luobu village, there was a touching story. A long time ago, a group of bandits broke into the village and kidnapped hundreds of girls.

The girls did not want to be humiliated by the bandits, so they jumped into the lake. From then on, whenever the sun was shining and the clouds were clear, people could see the girls in the water. Therefore, the lake was named "Goddess Lake".

The water of Shennv Lake is clear and deep, and remains the same in winter and summer, like a sparkling sapphire.

Whenever the breeze blows, the lake water ripples, full of mysterious and charming colors. Some people also say that if a family wants to have a girl, they can drink the lake water, which is particularly effective and has never failed.

It’s a pity that it’s winter now, the Tarim River is frozen, and the Shennv Lake will definitely be frozen as well.

Yesterday, Yusuf fished by digging holes in the ice. The Goddess Lake is inside the desert, so naturally no one would dig holes in the ice. It seems that he can only go ice skating.

Ye Yuze was going to go alone on his camel, but Yusuf was afraid that something might happen to him, so he insisted that his granddaughter go with him.

Ye Yuze felt embarrassed to ride on the same camel with this little girl, so he firmly refused.

Guli's face was full of disappointment. She had been living in this isolated place and rarely came into contact with outsiders.

She liked Ye Yuze, a Han Chinese, very much. Although he was older, he didn't look old at all. Although the people in her tribe were long-lived, the wrinkles on their faces were enough to kill a gadfly.

Yesterday, she accidentally crawled into Ye Yuze's bed. In fact, she had woken up a long time ago, but she really liked the warm feeling, so she pretended to be asleep and took a nap for a while longer.

The man hugged her, his arms were so strong, she really hoped he would do something else, but he didn't. He just hugged her obediently for an hour.

This made Guli happy and disappointed.

In fact, all girls are the same. For the boys they like, they still hope that they can be a little bit worse.

The Lobu people are very free about marriage status. If a girl likes someone, the elders in the family will only bless her and not stop her.

Even for men whose family conditions are not so good, their families will give them a generous dowry.

For example, the lake at the doorstep of Yusuf's house would definitely be given to Guli as a dowry. If Ye Yuze was willing to marry Guli, then the lake would be his.

Of course, Ye Yuze couldn’t possibly marry a little girl, and his life was already in countdown, so how could he possibly harm someone else?
Ignoring Guli's resentful look, he understood that it was because life here was too isolated that Guli had developed feelings for an old man like him.

The number of the Lobu people is small and their distribution area is too wide. Even if this village is considered the largest among them, it only has 20 households.

There are only 20 households here, and all the young and strong men have left. Guli is the only young girl left. You can imagine how lonely she must be.

The reason why the camel is called the ship of the desert is because it walks very steadily and its broad paws will not sink into the sand.

Maybe it knew where Ye Yuze was going? Or maybe it was used to being ridden by tourists, so it chose a path on its own and started walking without Ye Yuze’s help.

Ye Yuze ignored it. After all, he was from Northern Xinjiang and he had some common sense about how animals knew the way.

The desert in winter is a bit hard, compared to summer. When a camel's hooves step on it, they only leave a shallow footprint.

The snow we saw yesterday was obviously less, which shows how serious the loss of water is here.

Even in the coldest days of winter, even the snow that has not melted for years elsewhere will disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the way north, the camels kept climbing uphill, and Ye Yuze couldn't tell whether it was pure sand dunes or mountains. The altitude was several hundred meters.

After walking for about an hour, we finally reached the top. Looking down, we saw a lake surrounded by hills.

Because the top of the mountain is far away from the lake, the Shennv Lake looks very small. It may be because of the ice, it does not look blue, and it is even white. It is probably covered with a layer of snow.

The camel chose a relatively flat route, which would definitely require a detour and cause it to travel twice as far, which is why the horse will die if it runs too far.

After about another hour, Ye Yuze finally drove to the lakeside. A wooden plank road was being built there. One could walk along the road to the top of the mountain without getting his shoes filled with sand.

After getting off the camel, there were some dry reeds by the lake. Ye Yuze did not tie up the camel, but let it forage freely.

I came to the surface of the lake, ran a few steps like a child and then slid forward.

As a result, because there was snow and the snow was frozen hard, Ye Yuze fell headfirst onto the ice after sliding less than a meter.

Ye Yuze had a dark face and he got up to shake off the snow. Fortunately, no one else saw it. It was too ugly for the dignified Mr. Ye to be thrown to the ground.

Suddenly, Ye Yuze found a bulge in front of him and became curious. The surface of the lake was very flat. Even if there was snow, there shouldn't be a bulge, right?
He quickly ran a few steps to see what it was.

It is said that there are many birds here in summer, but now it is covered with ice and snow so there is definitely nothing there.

Because of the accumulated snow, the surface of the lake was not slippery. When Ye Yuze ran up to it, he could see clearly that it was a snowman.

The snowman was not very elaborate, basically it was just a small snowball placed on a big snowball, but this snowman actually had a colorful scarf around its head.

The two eyes should be two glass buttons, the nose is a hairpin, and the mouth is even more magical, it is actually a big apple.

Ye Yuze looked around and didn't see anyone. He pinched the apple and found that although it was hard, it should still be edible, so he simply took it off and put it in his mouth and took a bite. It was crisp and sweet, but a little cold. He didn't dare to take a big bite for fear of toothache.

After walking for more than two hours, he was really thirsty. Guli was probably so busy being disappointed that she forgot to bring him water. There were only two naan in the bag, and they were not Kumaisi.

The sky here was dazzlingly blue. Ye Yuze simply lay down, emptying his mind and staring blankly at the sky.

The winter sun was not scorching, but it was dazzling. However, Ye Yuze tried hard not to squint his eyes so as to see the sky clearly.

Then, he finally burst into tears and closed his eyes helplessly. There was nothing he could do as he could not see anything under the direct sunlight.

"Why did you eat my mouth?"

A cold voice sounded above him. Ye Yuze was startled and opened his eyes, only to find a blurry shadow standing above him.

Ye Yuze jumped up with a somersault, and as luck would have it, his head hit the woman's face.

With a cry of surprise and a scream, Ye Yuze lost his balance and fell to the ground again. No, the ground was not that soft.

Looking down, my eyes finally adjusted. Under me was a woman wearing a yellow down jacket and a large white scarf wrapped around her face.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

So, he still couldn't see clearly. After all, if the skin of the rice dumpling was not peeled off, who could know what the filling was?
The woman was hit and then pressed to the ground. She was obviously dazed. The hit made her tears stream down her face, and the pressing made her feel a little out of breath. She couldn't even shout.

He could only stare coldly at Ye Yuze with the only eye that was exposed on his face.

It’s just that the two of them were too close to each other, and Ye Yuze’s face was directly against her chest. She couldn’t see, really couldn’t see.

Although wearing a thick down jacket, Ye Yuze could still feel that the woman under him was very attractive. The kind of feeling that he could bury his entire face in her.

The woman finally recovered and said, "You rascal, why don't you get up?"

She cursed and tried hard to turn over and push Ye Yuze off.

Ye Yuze cooperated very well. As soon as she moved, Ye Yuze turned over and lay on his back on the lake.

The woman wanted to sit up, but after trying several times, she failed. She still felt a little short of breath in her chest, so she just lay there and didn't move.

But he asked viciously, "Why did you eat my mouth?"

Ye Yuze didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Judging from her voice, she should be from Northeast China and shouldn't be very old. He wondered why a girl was running here alone in the middle of winter?

The key point is, shouldn't she beg for mercy? Beg me to let her go? She has elderly parents and young children to take care of, but she still questioned the apple matter. Her train of thought is really strange.

Ye Yuze coughed and cleared his throat: "I didn't eat your mouth, really not!"

The woman then realized her mistake in speaking and quickly changed her words.

"Why did you eat my snowman's mouth? I only have that one apple left!"

Ye Yuze smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just change it later. I'll see what's in my bag and put another one on it."

The woman was obviously dissatisfied: "I have tried, and only apples look the best."

Ye Yuze was helpless: "Or I'll go down the mountain and get you one later."

The woman obviously agreed to this solution and stopped talking.

Ye Yuze asked curiously: "From your accent, you are from the Northeast. Did you come here by yourself?"

The woman suddenly became alert: "Why are you asking this? There are several of us here together."

Ye Yuze looked up and around, not to mention people, there was not even a ghost. It was obvious that she was bluffing.

This woman is also interesting. She was not alert just now, but now she is on guard.

Ye Yuze didn't reveal it: "Why do you come here in winter? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

The woman said with disdain: "The temperature here is much higher than our country, how can it be cold?"

Then he turned his head and looked at Ye Yuze warily: "Then why are you here alone? Are you alone too?"

Ye Yuze sighed: "I have a terminal illness and my life is counting down, so I came out for a walk alone and walked here by accident."

I don't know why? Ye Yuze suddenly wanted to talk, maybe it was just because he was facing a stranger?

He hasn't talked to anyone about his illness since he found out he was sick.

The woman, who was originally full of vigilance, suddenly lost her hostility after hearing Ye Yuze's words and looked up at the sky.

"We are all the same, wanderers in this world!"

Ye Yuze was curious: "Are you also terminally ill?"

The girl shook her head: "I'm not sick, I just have no way to go."

Ye Yuze shook his head: "How can there be no way out? If you can't survive in your hometown, can't you just move to another place?"

The woman smiled bitterly: "I killed someone, I should be wanted, where else can I go?"

Ye Yuze sat up suddenly. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. Should he call the police?
You must know that maintaining social stability is the duty of every citizen, and we should not let this bad guy go even if he is suffering from a terminal illness.

However, the woman's frail appearance made it impossible for him to associate her with a bad person, so he decided to ask her first.

"Who did you kill? Why are you here?"

The woman sighed and said, "Actually, this person has nothing to do with me. He is my ex-brother-in-law."

Ye Yuze listened quietly without saying anything.

"After my sister graduated from college, she met this man who looked decent and could make people happy. So after my sister started working, she didn't mind him being poor and jobless, and married him without hesitation."

Ye Yuze sighed inwardly. This story is very old-fashioned, but it has always happened in this world.

The woman continued: "They soon had a child. The man still did nothing but was sweet-talking. My sister took care of the child while working. My parents saw how hard it was for them, so they paid for them to buy a house."

Ye Yuze was speechless. Is he crazy to buy a house like this?
"As a result, this bastard coaxed my sister into transferring the house to his name, saying that he wanted to use it as a mortgage loan for business. My sister loved him and agreed."

Thank you guys for your votes. I’m surprised to see you, Brother Shuchi. Salute!
