Chapter 38: The Boat of Hope
It is a small village, the only one in this oasis. The village www.biquge.info Bi Qu Pavilion is not large, with about three or four hundred people. Britney's grandmother's name was Medlaire, a very kind grandmother, and the only village doctor in the village. Sida had been recuperating in the cabin for a week, and it was all healed.
Through getting to know her grandmother Medlaire, Hilda learned that the people here really don't know where else is outside the desert, because no one has ever walked out of this desert, and no one has ever come to this desert. Sida was the only outsider. They only know that their ancestors have lived here for generations, relying on this oasis to feed generation after generation.
It's the equivalent of a paradise, and there is no dispute with the world. Everyone in the village knew that the outsider was good, and they all came to see Sida curiously, and Sida also greeted everyone warmly, and slowly, Sida got to know everyone here, and the people here gradually accepted Sida. Every day, Sida followed the people of the village to the small lake to fish, dried nets with Xiaohai, and went to the desert with Collier to catch a bug called Bubu, which was dried and ground into powder, which could be eaten as salt. Hilda was discovered by Collier when Xiaohai and Collier went out to catch this bug.
Sida stayed in the small village for three months, usually in addition to fishing and catching insects is to chat with the villagers, tell stories to the children, Sida's story can never be finished, every time the story is told, Collier will climb at Sida's feet, and then Xiaohai will also sit next to listen, and then at night, everyone will gather to Sida after eating to listen to him tell stories, regardless of men and women, young and old, Sida tells them mythological stories, science fiction stories, inspirational stories, funny stories, in short, as long as they can think of it, they will tell, watch everyone listen to his storytelling look, He also reminisced about his life in the modern day in his previous life, where the people were so closed off that Hilda wanted to take them out of the desert to make their lives better. Hida doesn't believe that there is only one desert in this world. He was going to take everyone out of here, and during this time, Sida had explored the surroundings of the oasis and stocked up on a lot of food. He didn't want to die here like the villagers in the village.
On this day, Hilda said goodbye to his grandmother Medlaire, Xiaohai, and everyone in the village, and he wanted to get out of this desert, and he wanted to find a way out of the desert. Many villagers advised him not to do stupid things, and Sida knew that everyone cared about him, but he believed in his choice. Everyone couldn't dissuade Xida, so they had to see him off silently. During this time, Hilda made a homemade raft to haul more food and water. Everyone unanimously put all kinds of food on the raft, and Hida's eyes moistened as they watched everyone's actions.
"Thank you, I'm leaving." When Hilda turned to walk out of the village, Xiaohai shouted
"Sida, let Collier follow you, it can discern the direction and help you find food."
"Thank you, you don't have to let Collier come with you, I can do it myself, trust me." However, Collier had already made his way to Hilda.
"Collier, go back, I'm just an expedition, if it really doesn't work, I'll come back, you don't have to come along." Collier remained still.
"Whatever, if there is not enough food by then, I will not give you food to eat, you have to think about it." After saying that, Hilda walked out of the village, and a person, a fox, and a raft slowly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Everyone said that this kid can go out, this kid is not bad, especially the stories he tells, it's so good, I've never heard so much, such wonderful stories, how old is he, how can there be so many stories. What do you say this kid would do if he really died outside, but I can't sleep at night without listening to a few stories from him. Collier's old scoundrel isn't going to die, is he? ”
"Haha, this kid is good, how many thousands of years, I haven't laughed so happily, Collier also likes that kid very much, but it's about the inheritance of the master, and Collier's old villain doesn't dare not pay attention to it, these tests are set by the master, and no one can help."
"Can we be a little accommodating, or give a little hint. It's been tens of thousands of years, we can't stay here forever, I can't stay here anyway, I think this kid is very good. What do you say? ”
"Dalut, have you thought about the wall of the Celestial Fire Cave, and you dare to say that you are accommodating."
"You! Tell me what's wrong, don't you like that kid? Don't you listen to that kid tell stories a lot. ”
"Don't quarrel with everyone, everything has been arranged by the master, and we can only resign ourselves to fate. But that kid is really good, hehe. ”
Hilda, who had gone far, did not know that the good villagers were talking about him, but when he came to a higher sand dune, he stopped, tied up all the food on the raft, and put up the fur sail that had been prepared beside him. "Collier, as long as we keep walking in one direction, we will definitely be able to get out, believe me, if the direction of my walk changes, you remind me, you know?" Collier nodded. Okay, you also get on the raft, let's go, Sida sensed the air current, adjusted the direction of the fur sail, only to see the raft gradually move, suddenly rushed down the sand dunes, and sailed forward. I saw that Collier's eyes were full of surprise.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so smart, he actually knows how to use the power of the wind, and besides, although this raft is a little ugly, but this principle, everything that should be used is used, what a genius, haha, it's fun now, when I go back to tell those old guys, I will envy them to death and regret killing them." Haha....."
I saw a yellow sandy beach, a raft, with a leather sail erected in front, a slender boy controlled the leather sail for a while left and right to speed forward, and there was a silver fox standing on the raft, with a long silver fur flying in the wind.
Unconsciously, half a year has passed, in this half a year, Hilda tried to save food and water, whenever he rested, he asked Collier to look for food, but the food Collier was looking for was some insects in the desert, and Hilda didn't care, if there were bugs, he would eat the bugs first, because there was not much food and water, at most it would be enough for a month, and he didn't know how long it would take to get out of the desert, he had to save the food on the raft for the last to eat. Originally, Collier wanted to see Hilda's jokes, but to Collier's surprise, Hilda just frowned and ate the bugs without hesitation. I couldn't help but be impressed by Hilda's perseverance.
After another month, Sida finally noticed that soil had begun to appear in the desert, and large areas of low shrubs had begun to appear. Sida guessed that she was almost at the edge of the desert. Finally, after another month of driving, Hilda saw the town, saw the mountains, and this month was fortunate to be on the edge of the desert, and the food and plants were easy to find, and finally persevered to get out.
Sida didn't want to go into the city now, but walked towards the mountain in the distance, and when he walked into the mountain, Sida had a kind of intimate feeling, and he didn't have to worry about how to survive here. Sida first lived in the mountains for a month, and by the way became familiar with the situation in the mountains, and at the same time he observed the inspection and patrol system at the gate of the town whenever he had time. In this month, Xida also relied on wooden spears and traps to kill a lot of beasts, originally he wanted to get some demon cores or something, but he found that there were no demon beasts here, they were all ordinary beasts. It may also have something to do with the lack of aura here.
On this day, Hildar took some hides and prepared to explore the town, leaving Collier in the cave. Came to the city gate, there was a sergeant to block, so he bribed the sergeant with a piece of animal skin, smoothly entered the city, inquired where there was a post station or the like, and the result was really there, after finding it, I saw that there were not only horses here, but also a lot of camels, probably because of the proximity to the desert, and the boss understood the price, and wanted to rent all the thirty camels here to ask for three hundred wolf skins, and only fifty tiger skins were enough. After telling the boss that he would send enough hides to rent these camels after a while, he went to the pharmacy to inquire about the prices of some common medicines, and discussed with the boss how to exchange the skins, and then took the skins to the blacksmith shop and exchanged them for bows and arrows, and Hilda went out of the city and returned directly to the cave in the mountains. The next day, Hilda went crazy hunting in the mountains, and the furs and meat were preserved, until half a year later, Hilda carried a large number of furs into the city, and went to the pharmacy to change all the standing medicines in the city, and then went to the post station, explained the situation to the post owner, and led the post house owner with thirty camels and three horses to the woods outside the city, where there were enough animal skins to pay the rent of the camels here, and when he arrived at the location, the post house owner really saw a pile of animal skins, and they were all good animal skins, He happily lifted the skins onto his horse, waved goodbye to Hilda, and walked towards the city.
When the innkeeper had gone far away and could no longer see him, Sida whistled and saw a silver-white fox come out of the woods and come to Sida.
"Collier, let's go back to the Boat of Hope, I'm going to take Grandma Medlaire, and Xiaohai, and all the people in the Boat of Hope, and let them live in town. Collier, don't you miss them too? "Haha....
At this moment, Sida was very happy, he had always wanted to repay the villagers of the Boat of Hope and let them live a good life, and now he was finally able to do it. Hilda didn't notice that at this moment, Collier's eyes were also moist.
Hilda carried the dried meat and water that had been stored long ago onto the backs of one camel after another, and until each camel carried a lot of food and water on its back, Hilda took Collier back into the desert and began a long desert journey, but contrary to the last desert trip, this time it was full of hope and happiness. Collier could see a smile on Hilda's face every day.
