Chapter 370: The Dried-up Lake

Seeing everyone casting unusual glances, Second Master Teng hurriedly explained.

"Half Moon Lake, it used to have water a long time ago, but there's been none for ages, and the area is all sand. It's not suitable for farming, not even grass grows there.

To prevent the sand from blowing everywhere, we planted some trees around the area and fenced off the site of the lake.

Over the years, the trees grew bigger and, without anyone maintaining them, blocked the original path.

Now, if you want to get here, you have to go around from the back."

"So that's the situation, sorry."

Song Yi spoke casually, without any unnecessary expression.

What kind of place is it, really? On the Qinling mountain, there should be lush trees everywhere; how could there possibly be sand.

But the lakebed, after years of sedimentation, that might be possible.

Soon, they arrived at the place mentioned before, where the trees were planted.

There indeed were many trees, a long row, now all leafless.
