Chapter 147: Leovi's Story
Leowi doesn't just love to travel, she can be seen to be a foodie at the same time, because her small backpack has a lot of food, German sausages, French ham, English cheese, fish and chips and chocolates.
"How's that little one, aren't you a little greedy? Here! ”
Looking at the half of the chocolate that Joseph handed over, it was not appropriate to accept it or not, Leovi obviously misunderstood Joseph and thought he was shy, so he smiled lightly and stuffed it directly into his hand.
"Thank you!"
Everyone does this, why should Joseph be stingy with a word of thanks? However, this obviously deepened the misunderstanding, and of course Joseph didn't care about this at this time.
The chocolate didn't fill his mouth, Joseph was responsible for his own life, and it seemed that Leovi was a nice lady who was kind and easy to get a good sense of, but some precautions could not be discarded, even if few people knew about Joseph's trip to Western Sahara.
Leovi didn't pay any attention to this, and after stuffing the chocolate to Joseph, she looked out the window and stuffed something into her mouth with great interest.
Seeing that she was eating so happily, Joseph couldn't help but look at her somewhat loose top, she was indeed fatter than ordinary women, it seems that there are no people in the world who can't eat fat, but their position is not obvious.
"I've been to Western Sahara once, but at that time it wasn't part of the Duchy of Nord."
Wiping her mouth, Leoway's gaze returned to Joseph, but only glanced at the window again, and it was clear from one sentence that she was a person with a story.
"Little one, do you know what this place looked like a few years ago?"
Joseph knew it, of course, but at this time he wisely chose to shake his head, and it was obvious that his choice was correct, because Leovi was satisfied, and touched Joseph's head to continue his story. But she may not have imagined that if it weren't for a look from Joseph, the outstretched hand just now might have made the nervous guard do something that would be remembered by a carload of people for the rest of her life.
"It's a desert, a desert as far as the eye can see, a desert full of poverty, wars, deaths, and the first time I came here was with my husband......"
"He's here forever, isn't he?"
"What a smart boy, yes, he stayed here forever, we came with friendship and kindness, but we were robbed of everything by a group of militants, we couldn't get out of this desert without water and food, but in the end he stayed here and I ...... Get out of here alive. ”
Leoway's story brought up a lot of images in Joseph's mind, some warm, some touching, and some inexplicable throbbing, but he didn't open his mouth and chose to continue listening, because he knew that Leowei still had something to say.
really
"I fled this place for more than ten years, and in these ten years I have traveled to many parts of the world with his dreams, and we have personally experienced the cruelty of World War II, but fortunately I survived."
Leoway's eyes showed a little sadness, and it could be seen that she also suffered a lot in World War II, and it was self-evident what a woman, especially a single woman, had experienced.
"You're lucky compared to everyone else."
"Yes! At least I'm alive. ”
Joseph was silent
"The sale of Western Sahara to the Duchy of Nord is perhaps the wisest choice, I don't understand what is in the minds of those people, but from my point of view, it is a mercy and reward from God for this land and its inhabitants."
What could make Joseph happier than the heartfelt appreciation of an ordinary citizen? Although Leovi at this time was more or less forced to smile.
"There is one thing I don't agree with about this statement, and it may not be God's mercy and reward."
Although he didn't want to interrupt, in the end Joseph couldn't help but argue, because he didn't want his credit to be hung on the unwarranted God.
"I'm just saying this casually, and I'm telling you quietly that I'm not a Christian either!"
Leovi smiled like an old fox, I don't know why, Joseph just felt that this was her most beautiful moment, maybe this is the origin of happiness is the beauty of a woman and the best ally of age.
"Ms. Leoway, I'm actually a Christian."
"Forehead ......"
This was something that Leoville had never expected, after all, no Christian in her knowledge would say such a thing to a stranger whom she had only known for a short time.
It's still too young to have experienced!
This is Leowei's exclamation, she mistakenly thinks that Joseph is inexperienced, but she doesn't know that Joseph is a hypocrite at all, and she is not afraid of the hypocrite that others will know.
Many Christians have said similar things, but they have said it secretly or only to those closest to them, and no one will ever do it like Joseph. In fact, if you think about it, Joseph was able to directly express his dissatisfaction with Paul, and there is nothing wrong with saying these things.
Looking at Leove's appearance, Joseph knew what she was thinking, but Joseph didn't explain it because it wasn't necessary.
The sudden appearance of an oasis in the endless desert is enough to make people shocked, and the tourists in the bus at this time are like this, they are staring blankly at the little bit of green in the desert, among which Leovi is the most.
The area of the oasis is about 9.6 square kilometers, except for a town of 100 people, all that remains is forests and artificial lakes...... It's not an exaggeration to say so.
The main road in Western Sahara splits off into a country road, which the bus follows to the small town on the outer side of the oasis, next to the artificial lake on the oasis, which is also the source of life here.
Most of the houses in the town are wooden structures, neatly arranged in three rows, and in the middle of the town is a small three-story brick attic that integrates the mayor's office, the sheriff, and the prison. In fact, every town in the Duchy of Nord has a relatively simple and complete administrative system, and even without the cities of Laayoune, they can still live well.
Of course, according to the old rules, there will basically be one or two councillors in a small town, but because the mayor of each town is now a local, there are certain restrictions on the selection of councillors to avoid the mayor and councillors from colluding with each other.
Naturally, Nord itself does not have to worry about these problems, because the mayors there are all outsiders and the councilors represent local interests, and the two sides cannot achieve a unified interest relationship at all. Unlike Western Sahara, the status of mayor is extraordinary, and they are powerful enough to influence the election of councillors.
Now there is no need to worry about this, because the sheriff, the tax collector of the mayor's office, and other officials are all from the Nord military servicemen, civil servants, and engineers, and they limit the town to a certain extent from remaining under the control of the Nord Duchy.
