Chapter 20: The Oasis Never Sleeps
After such a toss by the dwarf, people have no sleepiness. Just chatted around the campfire.
By the time dawn rose, several young men were on their way to the Oasis trading grounds, where every month the people of the tribe had to trade in some groceries and food.
There is a shortage of supplies in the desert, but deep underground in this desert there is an endless supply of mines, and the tribe uses mining to trade with foreigners.
The Oasis Trading Place is also known as the Nightless Heaven, because it is lit up day and night, and many pedestrians and merchants gather.
The old patriarch watched a few young men leave the tribe and then returned to prepare for the early morning prayer ceremony.
The Crescent tribe prays every morning and evening, and they are a peace-loving tribe that prays that there will be no war in the world and that their people can live in peace.
They don't believe in God, they only believe in the obsession of their hearts, which is the obsession of desperate for peace.
In the evening, the people light a bonfire for prayer ceremonies, and in the morning they perform the ritual directly next to the extinguished bonfire.
Because the ancestors of the Crescent tribe once said that this tribe survived through bonfires. At that time, there were constant wars, and people lived in dire straits.
In order to avoid the killing of those races, the tribesmen are extremely cautious every time they go out hunting, and they risk their lives every time.
Because the living environment was so cruel at that time, there were many people who starved to death and were killed by foreigners, and only when the bonfire was lit did the tribesmen smile happily, because the bonfire not only brought warmth, but also proved that they could eat a delicious barbecue when they lit it.
The bonfire is the hope for the survival of the Crescent Tribe.
So, the Crescent tribe has lasted for generations, and they have not forgotten to perform prayer rituals every morning and evening. Cherish this hard-won short time of peace, because no one knows when war will break out again.
Yang Yang and Ah Idiot stood aside with the two giants, quietly watching the people of the Crescent Moon Tribe perform the prayer ceremony. When the prayer service is over, the idiot instructs the mountain and the boulder to rebuild the tent they had destroyed as a result of the fight.
Watching the two giants work tirelessly to rebuild the destroyed tent, the people of the clan expressed their gratitude to the idiot.
After the people of the tribe had finished thanking him, Ah Idiot walked to the old patriarch's side and said respectfully: "The people in the tribe are too polite, these tents were originally destroyed by those two big guys, and they should help everyone rebuild." ”
The old patriarch shook his head, smiled and said, "The idiot girl is a guest from afar, how can we let the guests suffer?" With that, the old patriarch asked the holy woman, who had been with him, to instruct the men of the tribe to help the giant rebuild the tent.
By the time the tents were rebuilt, it was noon. The frightened dwarf also woke up.
This dwarf didn't have a name, so Yang Yang named him Zhu Xu, because the front capital of the word dwarf was next to a single person, and Yang Yang thought that this dwarf was not doing personnel, so he removed the single side in front of him. In this way, the name Zhu Xu evolved.
Yang Yang knew that Zhu Xu would be of great use to the future development of the plot, so he forcibly accepted him as a follower, and under the deterrence of the two giants, he made him obey his words.
The scorching sun baked the yellow sand of the earth, and the feet were scorching.
Yang Yang wiped the sweat from his face and said goodbye to the tribal patriarch.
In this way, Yang Yang and Ah Idiot took two giants and a dwarf to embark on the road ahead.
Idiot wants to leave this desert and go to the Huaxu tribe to find the current leader of the human race, to find out how many alien races have jointly destroyed the tree clan eighteen years ago, and she wants to find these alien races to take revenge one by one.
Yang Yang knew that he couldn't change the idiot's mind, so he followed him on this journey, and when necessary, he would prevent something from happening.
The old patriarch personally gave Yang Yang and the others some water and food. lest you starve on this long journey.
Thousands of miles away from the Crescent Moon Tribe is an oasis, which is known as the oasis trading place that never sleeps, and it is also the next destination of Ah Idiot and Yang Yang.
On this endless desert, Yang Yang and Ah Idiot walked behind, and the mountains and boulders kept guarding Zhu Xu, the little man who was always waiting for an opportunity to escape.
Every time Zhu Xu escaped, he would be caught and beaten by the two giants, and now Zhu Xu didn't dare to have the idea of escaping, so he obediently followed the two giants, not daring to leave half a step.
Looking at the two tall and mighty giants walking in front, Yang Yang asked Ah Idiot: "Since you want to know so much about what happened eighteen years ago, why don't you just ask those two stupid big men?" ”
The idiot shook his head and said, "Both of them are too young to understand that war at all. Only the giant warriors who fought in that war knew what was going on. ”
Speaking of this, the idiot's eyes suddenly became very deep, and he looked at Yang Yang with a suspicious expression, and asked, "Didn't the master say that he came from the future, you should know a lot about that war, right?" ”
Yang Yang shook his head decisively and said, "I just know the general idea like you, and I don't know the specific details." ”
Although Yang Yang said so, he clearly remembered how many races participated in the war to exterminate the Tree Clan described in the novel, but he couldn't tell Ah Idiot now, because after telling Ah Idiot, the direction of the plot would return to the normal logical development route in the novel.
Ah Idiot felt that the walk was too slow, so she ordered Dashan and Jushi to continue walking with Zhu Xu, and she took Yang Yang to fly to the oasis.
In this way, it only took half a day for the idiot to take Yang Yang to the oasis trading place.
At this time, it was already evening, and the whole oasis was brightly lit, and it was indeed worthy of the title of never sleeping.
The oases are filled with walking vendors, and wealthy merchants of higher status have their own trading points and shops.
The road was full of people, and the cries of vendors were everywhere.
Yang Yang walked on the road and said to the idiot beside him: "Aren't you afraid that those two big fools will run away with the dwarf?" ”
The idiot said with great certainty: "No, the Giant Clan is the most trustworthy, otherwise it would not have been used by foreigners to attack my Tree Clan back then, I still know these things." The reason why I attacked the mountain and the boulder yesterday was because I couldn't control my emotions, and when I saw the two of them, I remembered the terrible war scene of that year, it was so cruel that I will never forget it. ”
"And I don't care if they follow me or not, and I didn't plan to take them with me. If it hadn't been for the master who kept asking me to take them, I would have let them go when I was in the Crescent Tribe. ”
Yang Yang looked at the idiot with deep meaning and said, "You must listen to me, everything I do is to help you, because I know you well enough and know the world very well." In the future, you will understand the good intentions of being a teacher. ”
