Chapter 93 The folk customs are simple

Sleeping during the day is more comfortable than deep sleep after nightfall, Helian Xiaojiang wakes up and feels refreshed. The two leaves on her eyelids had long since fallen, and as soon as she opened them, she was startled by a folded face in front of her eyes.

"Ahh Who? Helian Xiaojiang was frightened and jumped directly from lying flat on the ground to a standing defensive position, and her series of movements were very violent and almost hit the other party.

The old man hurriedly took a few steps back, showing a kind smile to reassure: "I'm sorry, little girl, I scared you." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. The old man coaxed her in the tone of coaxing a child.

The body of the person who has just woken up is very sensitive in all aspects, and Helian Xiaojiang has the previous action. Calm down quickly after waking up.

The old man in front of him estimated that he was more than seventy years old, and his originally beautiful golden eyes had become cloudy after being washed over time, as if they had bubbled into egg yolks, and his hair was all gray and the original hair color could not be seen. The tall body is slumped. Helian Xiaojiang realized that he had overreacted, and the special object was still an old man. Helian Xiaojiang felt ashamed: "No, no, no, it's me who is wrong, I just woke up and didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and was startled." Uncle, I'm sorry, don't blame me. ”

The blue wolf stood beside him, watching the two humbly apologize to each other. Camels and Qiji can't wait to nibble on delicious fruits regardless of what happens between humans. The two large animals ate very attentively.

"There are a total of one hundred and seven people in our village, all of whom were born and raised in this oasis. There are very few outsiders in our village...... "The old man led the blue wolf and Helian Xiaojiang to the direction of the village's gathering place, and very sincerely put the situation of the village together and walked out to the two strangers who had just met. The folds on the old man's face couldn't hide his excitement.

"Our village has very little contact with the outside world, and the only way to get connected is for the village chief to lead a caravan to subsidize the villagers' daily necessities to travel inland once a year. Ordinary villagers like us will never go out for the rest of their lives. Like me, I haven't been out of the desert in my seventy-three years. Speaking of which, the seventy-three-year-old man looked a little shy, and then thought of the civil war in the country of Wu and sighed: "But I heard that the outside has not been peaceful in the past few years, and it is very ****." Our caravan went from once a year to once every three years. ”

It turns out that the paradise is not only cut off by unfathomable water like the peach blossom paradise in the book, but also separated by the unforgiving sand to create a beautiful and ethereal world. This old man may not have the concept that he is a native of Wuguo. It is only hearsay about the suffering that his country is suffering, looking at the moon in the water. Such a sigh is not sympathetic sadness, but sympathy for the bystanders.

It's not a partial generalization, but an old man who has lived for more than 70 years is not at all defenseless against a stranger who suddenly appears at the door of his house, carrying a big knife, and his force value is not low at all, and his cloudy eyes are not involved in any impurities except warm welcome. From this, the simplicity of the oasis folk customs can be promoted.

At this point, the reciprocal wolf's vigilance has also been reduced to the previous state of almost zero.

During the chat, the old man also mentioned a detail: it is said that the ancestors of the Oasis clan were craftsmen and their families who built an underground labyrinth for a certain emperor to hide treasures. After the treasure is hidden, according to the rules, it is necessary to kill it all, and never leave it alive. The craftsmen realized this, and when the construction was about to be completed, the guards fled with their wives and children. On the way to escape, he found this great oasis and has been living since then......

If it weren't for the two brothers Ren Yi and Ren Zhong and a bunch of golden treasures that are believing, this mysterious story would definitely sound like bragging, just like listening to my friends boast that their ancestors were officials, very rich, and even royal blood. These words should be heard as a story, and no one will care about the authenticity of the ancestors of the eighteen generations. But when the old man said this and interpreted it in combination with the actual situation, the credibility was high.

"Hey, so your ancestors didn't reveal the location of the treasure? Have you ever gone on a treasure hunt? The result was that the treasure was still in place, but Helian Xiaojiang was still curious to death.

"Hehe, no, it's good that our ancestors can survive, who dares to worry about treasures. Besides, we live in an oasis with a population of less than two hundred people in a hundred years, and no precious treasure is as precious as a fruit on a tree, a drop of water in a lake, or a piece of fat. The old man laughed and laughed, and was not as enthusiastic about the mysterious treasure as he was for the two strangers.

Helian Xiaojiang nodded again and again while eating the fruit. Soon the two men were taken to a flat field.

The flat land is not large, and all the vegetation, including the trees, is bulldozed and bare. On such a small flat land, there are simple houses made of wooden strips everywhere, no, not so much tents as houses, they are small and exquisite, simple and rude crowded together, as if they were children playing at home.

However, it is also understandable that trees in desert oases are naturally the most precious, and people would rather grieve themselves than destroy the living environment, or how to make a living.

"Grandpa! Grandfather! A little child stumbled and ran up, and halfway through the run, he noticed a stranger standing behind his grandfather, and immediately turned around and stumbled back. The adults here are no better than children in the face of these two strangers. There was a glow of excitement and curiosity in their eyes, and they were very shy when they wanted to speak.

The old man simply explained the situation of the blue wolf and Helian Xiaojiang to the villagers present, and then asked the people present to express whether to stay or not in front of Helian Xiaojiang and the blue wolf. No one on the scene had any objections, and it was so simple and pleasant. Not only that, but the villagers also vacated a tent for two distinguished guests from afar.

At meal time, the big guys sat around to eat, and the bowls of Helian Xiaojiang and the blue wolf were almost full, and there was a big chicken leg on the top. The old man's little grandson salivated as he stared at the chicken thighs in their bowls and swallowed his saliva. Helian Xiaojiang looked around and found that there was meat in the villagers' bowls, but it was very small, a small bone was more than meat, or a thin slice was only enough to taste it, not a bite.

Helian Xiaojiang was very embarrassed and hurriedly picked up the chicken leg and handed it to the child, and the child immediately shy and withdrew his gaze and hid in his grandfather's arms.

"You eat, you eat. The child is ignorant and left him alone. The old man stroked the little head in his arms and said.
