"Desert Death?" I paused and asked, "What is the Desert Reaper?" ”

Without waiting for the rickety old man to answer my question, all the natives present stood up one after another, walked towards the rickety old man, and after saying hello, they all knelt down on their knees to worship the rickety old man, and said something in their mouths∫ they were a little shocked after seeing this scene, who is this rickety old man? Why didn't you see him at the bonfire just now? And why did everyone worship and kneel to him after he appeared?

The old man stood up on crutches, and after I helped the old man, the old man stood up, waved his hand and said some indigenous dialects that I didn't understand at all, and the group of people who had eaten and drunk enough at the bonfire party dispersed one after another, and the rickety old man coughed twice at this time and sat down on the big stone, it seems that the body of this rickety old man is really too bad, so simply standing up and sitting down is physical work for him.

The old man took two breaths and then turned his head to me and said in Chinese, "Young man, are you a little puzzled why these people visit me?" ”

"Hmm." I nodded at the rickety old man and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because I'm the tribal patriarch here, that's why they pay homage to me." The rickety old man's eyes exuded profundity, and there was a kind of majesty that belonged to the leader∫ and Xiao Feng nodded ignorantly, we have naturally heard of the tribe or something, like what Indians, what cannibals, etc., are more popular folk stories, and most of these tribes will have a patriarch or something, it turns out that this old man is the chief of this indigenous tribe.

"Uh-oh." I nodded and asked, "What about ...... Do we need to bow to you? ”

The rickety old man said, "No, you are foreigners, you don't need to salute, what did you want to ask just now?" I'm old and don't have a good memory. The rickety old man changed the subject and asked.

"What did you just say about the Desert Reaper, what's going on?" I turned my head and asked curiously, who would have thought that this rickety old man would sigh after hearing my question, and said with trembling teeth, "This desert death is the devil, the evil devil." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Feng and I were confused by the words of the old man, Chu Xuan Huang Tieshan and the others saw us talking here after eating and tied up Mu Si and Okocha after cleaning up, and came over and said in surprise, "Old man, do you speak Chinese?" ”

"Hmm." The old man nodded, and continued the topic just now, "This desert death god is the lingering nightmare of the people in this desert. The Grim Reaper appears on average once every two or three years, and the signs of this appearance are the appearance of desert whirlpools in a large area of the desert, or tornadoes, in short, so that we natives will never have peace. And my parents were killed in a duel with these desert reapers......"

"Huh?" After listening to the old man's words, he paused for a moment, and then thought, "Old man, we came across a huge desert spiral today, and this spiral nest swept away a friend of mine and then suddenly disappeared...... Do you think this is the desert reaper you said is doing ghosts? - Or, is there a way you can save my friend? Hearing this rickety old man say this, my eyes burst with a longing look.

The rickety old man shook his head and said, "Did you encounter the quicksand whirlpool nest today?" “

"Hmm!" I nodded heavily, and then told the rickety old man what we had happened today, and after the rickety old man listened, his hands and legs couldn't help but tremble, it didn't look like he was afraid, but a kind of anger and excitement!

"Old man, you said that we met ......" Before I could finish my words, the rickety old man replied categorically, "Yes! That's right, what you encountered today is the Desert Grim Reaper! What you encounter is a sign of the coming of the Grim Reaper of the desert! It seems that our small tribe is about to face another catastrophe. After the old man finished speaking, he sighed deeply, and after calming down for a while, his hands and legs were not so shaky.

The more the old man spoke, the more confused I felt.

"Are you curious about who this desert reaper is?" The old man turned his head and asked.

"Hmm!" A few of us nodded quickly, the old man used his hand to crutches twice, coughed twice, I saw this, and hurriedly put the only vest left on the upper body on the old man's back, this desert night is exceptionally cold. The old man warmed up a little after putting on his vest, and said slowly, "If you want to hear it, you have to start with my parents' generation, and you don't think I'm verbose." ”

"No, no, no." A few of us hurriedly shook our heads and said, "Grandpa, hurry up." ”

"Hmm." The old man nodded and said, "My mother is Chinese, my father is a native resident here, my mother used to be a diplomatic relationship official in China, at that time China was not called China, it was called Daqing, and the name China was only heard decades ago." "This old man is seventy or eighty years old, and his mother must have been born under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

"That year, my mother came here from thousands of miles to establish diplomatic relations, at that time we were a famous tribe here, there were tens of thousands of people in the tribe, almost occupying most of the desert - this desert at that time there was a large oasis, our tribe was relatively rich, my father, who was the patriarch of this tribe∫ mother came here, and soon became curious about the people in this tribe, my father also often chatted with my mother, and they used paintings when the language was not understood, and over time, The two of them had a relationship together, and a year later they had me. "At that time, there was a legend in our tribe, that is, the legend of the Desert Reaper, the legend of the Desert Reaper, the legend of the Desert Reaper is a group of warriors living at the bottom of the desert, they come from hell, every once in a while, they will come to the world, and the camels, houses, and even living people in the world will be swept underground for their own enjoyment. ”

The old man said here, I feel that the old man said that the desert death, should be a legend, this desert is not surprising, it is not surprising that there is a spiral nest in this desert, it may be the movement of the surface, there are a lot of gaps, the sand on the ground will fall down to form a whirlpool, the old man ignored my expression, continued, "At that time, the Qing Dynasty brought a lot of rich gifts to our tribe, and for a time the people of our tribe were happy. And because my mother also had a relationship with my father, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty directly let my mother live here as an ambassador, and also sent hundreds of soldiers here to defend against foreign enemies∫ when I was young, my mother taught me to Chinese......"

"Far from it." The old man smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Until I was ten years old, when I woke up from my sleep and was about to go out to play, a large area suddenly collapsed on the ground of our oasis, and many houses disappeared overnight. ”

"And then?" We pressed on.

The rickety old man shook his head, "In the next few days, Uncle Tan and Uncle Laka didn't find anything, my father was very anxious, and sent a lot of additional people to search for them, and after these people went to search, they never came back......"

"Huh?" A few of us paused, "Where did they go?" ”

"They all met the Desert Reaper and then became slaves of the Desert Reaper!" The rickety old man gritted his teeth and said, "That night, our tribe suddenly blew a violent wind, at first we all thought it was a sandstorm, my father and mother woke me up in my sleep, and then took me out of the house, after escaping from the house, my father and mother found that there were a lot of people standing outside, these are the people who were sent out by my father a while ago to find the reason for the disappearance of the house!" It's just that they've all become puppets! ”
