Hey, Kangyi, I almost didn't recognize you! You walked the Silk Road and got so dark!
你别幸灾乐祸了那边到处都是沙漠能不黑吗就算是古代去和亲通婚的公主们到了那里也得变成我这么黑

Don't kick me while I'm down! It's all deserts there. Could I avoid getting darker? Even if it were ancient times and I were going with princesses, when they got there they'd be as dark as me!
哈哈这一路够辛苦的吧

Ha ha. Well, this must have been a pretty tough hike, huh?

Yeah, but really moving. There were great deserts shrouded in mist-- that's what I call magnificent! It was even more beautiful than in Wang Luo Bing's songs. But in the huge, desolate desert, you're hot and hungry. You think of how hard it was for people in ancient times to make money. They had to follow a road like that to sell their silk in Europe!
