Chapter 255: Treasure
"By the way, I haven't asked the old man, your name?" After entering the house and sitting down, Hua Mantian looked at the old man apologetically and asked.
"My name is **, and this city is what I led people to build!" After introducing the name, the old man looked out of the house with some nostalgia.
"Old man, are you the only one living here?" When they came to the house, after the old man poured a glass of water for each of the three of them, Hua Mantian asked, and they were following the old man all the way to talk about what they had found, so they asked suspiciously.
"Since you've asked that question, I'll tell you about it!" It may also be that he has lived here for too long, and there has been no one to chat with him, so this time their arrival opened his conversation box all at once.
"We're not where we are a few years ago, when it was an oasis."
Hearing that the ** old man began to tell the story, Hua Mantian didn't say anything, but slowly picked up the water in his hand and listened quietly.
"About seven or eight years ago, when this was still a place where there was nothing, I got the king's permission to bring people here to build this oasis and make it more suitable for people to live in." Speaking of this, the nostalgia in the eyes of ** is even higher, and the eyes have become more profound.
"At that time! Although we are tired every day, we are very happy every day, after all, we have to build our own home with our own hands, which is a happy thing in itself. ”
"But it didn't last long, not long after we built it, three years ago, it didn't rain here." Saying this, ** sighed, and then continued.
"They are the king who used dancing powder to rob the whole country of rainwater, but I don't believe it, what kind of person is the king, I know that he will never do such a thing, because he will never hurt his own people, I know this!" Speaking of this, **'s emotions were a little excited.
"Alas! But others don't believe it! Maybe they believed it at the beginning, but because the rain was getting less and less, and slowly now, there was no rain at all, so the people here slowly left. Speaking of this, he sighed helplessly.
"Then old man, why don't you leave, after all, there is no rain here." The panda looked at the ** and asked with some puzzlement.
"Because it's my dream! I had promised the king that I would build this place, so I couldn't leave. As he said this, his wrinkled face and his eyes shone brightly.
After hearing the words of **, the panda also seemed very excited, after all, although a large part of the reason why he went to sea was because Locke saved them, and they wanted to repay the favor so they had been following Locke, but as a young man who was not yet eighteen years old, who could buy a little dream.
If it weren't for the massacre of the villagers on the island, the pandas might have rotted this dream in their hearts and kept it until they were old enough to sigh for a while, but because of an accident, they lost their homes and could only follow Locke to the sea, and the dream they hid in their hearts sprouted again.
After all, living in this world, for this vast sea, who doesn't want to gallop on it, even if the final outcome may not be ideal, but at least they have pursued, and that is enough.
So when ** said his dream, the panda felt very deeply.
After a short silence, Hua Mantian felt that it was better not to talk about this topic, after all, it could be seen that although this old man ** seemed to be very energetic now, Hua Mantian had already sensed him with his true qi just now, and he had a lot of dark injuries on his body, which was not suitable for such a state of great sorrow and joy at all.
"Old man, when we came here just now, we saw what you were digging in that big pit, can you tell us what you were digging?" Hua Mantian changed the subject.
As for Ximen Yushi, who had not spoken next to him, although he was also listening to the old man's story, he obviously didn't pay much attention, he just listened while tidying up his clothes, wanting to clean the sand on his clothes, and the sand on his hair He also specially poured some water in the cup and cleaned it slightly.
"I'm digging for treasure in the sand!" Although the method of changing the topic was very inferior, the old man did not express any dissatisfaction, but replied to his words with a smile.
"Treasure?"
When the panda heard the word treasure, both eyes began to glow, and Ximen Yushi, who didn't listen much, quietly pricked up his ears.
"Yes, it's a treasure, it's as important as life, and I'm sure I'll find it." Appear to be very sure when you say this.
"Haven't you found it yet?" Panda asked impatiently.
"I can't say I didn't find it! I can only say that I found some, but not many. Seeing the panda's eagerness, ** just smiled and shook his head and said.
"Oh? Did you find it? Can you show us what kind of treasure the old gentleman has been looking for, we are really curious! Hua Mantian was also curious about the treasure he said, after all, it can be a treasure equal to life, what kind of thing must be compared to life.
"You've seen it, and the treasure I'm looking for is what you're holding." Seeing that a few people were indeed curious by their words, the old man ** didn't buy it, and directly told him the final answer.
"Is it water?" looked at the water in the cup, and said suddenly.
"It's also in the desert that water is indeed something that can match life, and without water, there is no way to survive in this desert." Looking at the half cup of water in his hand, the panda said abruptly.
On the other side, Ximen Yushi originally wanted to continue pouring some water to tidy up his hair, but after hearing the old man's words, he silently straightened the water cup that had been tilted.
"This water is really dug out of the ground, I just saw that there is sand all underneath, there is no water at all!" Hua Mantian was a little confused.
"Of course I can dig it, as long as I dig deeper, I will definitely be able to get out of the water!" ** is very sure.
