"It's here, Sister Susanna, we're here!" Linya grabbed Susanna's hand and jumped excitedly. Oh my God, she did it, she had completed such a long journey, through this vast desert, to the oasis of life! The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked forward with the last of their strength. After experiencing two days of despair and danger, Linya finally understood a truth, it turns out that life is also a precious and difficult thing.

The outermost layer of the oasis is a large wasteland, which looks like it occupies more than half of the entire oasis on the map, there are no large trees and plants here, only some sparse weeds, and the ground is very hard, stepping on it makes Linya suddenly feel like she is back in the real world. However, it didn't seem far on the map, and it took a lot of time to walk, trying to walk as fast as possible for nearly an hour, and the two of them had not yet entered the forest.

Linya was tired again. Just then, an unlucky ghost appeared. The season was late winter and early spring, and the vegetation was yellow, and it looked even more desolate, and when a foraging hare ran by, Susanna, who was quick to eat, drew her dagger and threw it, and it hit the target.

"Wow, Sister Suzanne is amazing!" Linya couldn't help but swallow, "We seem to have something to eat!" "Hehe, it's nothing......! Sister Linya, sit down and rest for a while, I'll take care of it first, and I'll eat it when it's cooked. But Linya couldn't sit still, how could she sit still with a stomach that hadn't eaten for two days? She hurriedly ran over to help, but she didn't dare to do anything like skinning and cutting flesh, what she could do was to clear a place, and then go around to gather some dead grass and branches of fuel or something, pile them up and light a small fire. This kind of rough work had never been done before for a delicate little princess, but now was not the time to think about her identity and manners, and her hunger instinct made her do it happily.

Suzanne threaded the hare meat through a twig and roasted it over the fire, and in a short time the aroma filled the air. "Wow! it smells so good!" Linya couldn't help but drool as she smelled the roasted meat. "Alright, well, my little glutton, this skewer is cooked, princess...... Linya, you eat first. Be careful, it's hot. ”

"Uh-huh!" Linya hurriedly took the branch, and didn't care about being reserved or anything, so she opened her mouth and bit it. As a result, the hot pieces of meat were so hot that she almost couldn't hold back her squirting. But she finally held back, and after experiencing extreme hunger, she was really reluctant to spit out the food in her mouth and waste it. After a long while, Linya finally swallowed the piece ......of rabbit meat with pain, and then looked at Suzanne with a distorted expression. Suzanne smirked and said, "You can't blame me! As I said, it's still hot when it's freshly baked." ”

Maybe it's because it's close to the water source, but the water collected by the water summoning technique this time is enough for two people to drink. I felt so happy to drink water and eat the fragrant and hot barbecue meat! The poor stomach was finally relieved after two days of torture. Linya was finally able to eat and was full, and lay on the ground with her arms outstretched, so comfortable that she didn't want to move anymore. "Wow, it's delicious, it's so filling...... Sister Susanna, I'll want to eat it next time!"

"Good, good, my little glutton. But we can't rest yet, we still have to rush to the village as soon as possible, and when we get there, we can rest assured. Suzanne said and blinked, "It's still very dangerous out there, maybe those terrible wolves are hiding somewhere nearby!"

"Okay, okay, let's go. Linya hurriedly shrank her head and got up, "But why do you want to scare people with those things!"

In the inner layer of the wasteland, the grass gradually became denser, and the drought-tolerant trees increased, and then there were many small woodlands composed of a few dozens of trees, and finally the whole large forest, the green on the magic map was made up of this oasis forest. When the wind and sand blow here, it will be blocked by the woods. The forest protects the oasis from being swallowed up by the desert, and the oasis provides a stable and sufficient water source for the forest, which is why this small ecosystem can survive in this vast desert.

Small birds sing in the branches, little insects chirp in the grass, this is a small but full of life. Recalling the scene of yellow sand all I saw in the past two days, it is really emotional.

In fact, this forest is not very wide, and the two of them quickly walked through the woods, and their eyes suddenly opened, and in the middle of the oasis in the distance was the small lake, blue, beautiful and quiet like a mirror. On the left bank of the lake is a modest hamlet with dozens of small wooden houses scattered haphazardly and nestled among the trees. The village is surrounded by large expanses of cultivated farmland, squared and scattered among small lakes and forests. The size of this village does not seem to be very large, about thirty or forty households.

Suddenly, there was a strange feeling that this place was like the legendary paradise, beautiful and peaceful, free from the world, far away from the hustle and bustle. If you add that the people are hardworking and kind, live a rich life, unite and fraternity, and get along in harmony, it can really be regarded as a paradise on earth, and if you can live here for a lifetime, it should be a very good choice.

Of course, it's just a cranky idea. "Sister Linya, it's time to put your wings away. Suzanne suddenly thought of something and hurriedly reminded. "Uh-huh. "Of course. These wings are beautiful, but they don't scare people, and even worse if they are treated like monsters.

It should not be the busy season yet, and there is no human figure in the field. The two went all the way into the village, and met a little girl in front of the wooden fence that surrounded the outside of the village. "Hi, hello, little sister......" Linya was thinking about how to say hello, and the little girl, apparently frightened by the two strangely dressed outsiders, ran into the village screaming.

After a while, the little girl came to Linya and Suzanne with a group of adults. The two completely different styles of clothing easily distinguish the two sides, the linen fabric, the simple way of cutting, it is obvious that these villagers make simple clothes, of course, it is impossible to compare with the beautifully made white thickened velvet dress worn by Linya.

"Hello, sorry to interrupt. My name is Linya, she is my sister Susanna, we are travelers passing through here and want to spend a few days here and rest before we hit the road. I hope to have your permission. Linya regained the noble demeanor of the princess, took the initiative to salute, and said in a sweet and pleasant voice. There is a saying that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, not to mention that now you have to ask for others.

However, the people on the other side obviously didn't understand Linya's words. After all, with a distance of 108,000 miles, it is unlikely that they could be expected to speak Atlantan. After carefully examining Linya and the others, one of the leaders asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Linya didn't know what language he spoke, but she understood it right away, and that was enough. The creator god has modified her body so that she can understand, understand, and use any language or script used by other people, which is really a very convenient and practical skill that saves her a lot of trouble.

Linya hurriedly repeated her words in their language, of course, the tone was very kind and kind, the voice was extremely sweet and moving, the movements were also very graceful and polite, and the whole expression was also very sincere and sincere.

But after hearing this, the middle-aged man who was the leader only frowned slightly, and immediately responded, "I'm sorry, Far Traveler." Outsiders are not welcome, we can't take you in, so please leave this place immediately. ”

Linya froze, feeling herself petrified. They should all be simple, kind, and self-reliant villagers, and I thought they would be kind, friendly, and helpful, but why did they refuse so directly? I don't have any sympathy at all? In the face of a poor girl like me, who is extremely beautiful and lovely, and is in need of help, how can you be indifferent? Don't you have any sympathy at all? Linya was a little confused. At this moment, she suddenly seemed to lose confidence in her beauty. The plot shouldn't be like this!

"Why, please help us, thank you very much, I will definitely repay you, I can do what I can to help you. Linya pleaded again in frustration. As a noble imperial princess, she can only plead with this group of ordinary villagers in a low voice, which feels really awkward. Well, this is not your own Red Leaf Empire, and you don't have to put any princess shelves, and there is no one more noble than anyone here. I think I said that, right?

Did they want money? It occurred to Linya at once that she didn't have any money with her, let alone the currency they used here.

Depressed!

"No! you can't stay. You must leave, or don't blame us for being polite!" The villagers at the head refused again without hesitation.

"Ahh "Forget it, Your Highness the Princess...... Let's get out of here......"

"This ...... How can this be done?" Linya was anxious, and turned to the leader of the villagers and begged, "Please, my sister is sick, she has a severe cold, and she has a high fever. Please, find a place for her to rest, or she'll die if she goes on like this! Please, just disturb the night, okay? I ...... I'm a very powerful magician, I know a lot of magic, as long as you promise me, you can let me do anything!"

The middle-aged man took a closer look at Susanna's pale face, and it seemed that she did look very bad. "Okay, we can try to help her. We don't need your reward though, but you still have to leave by tonight. This is the rule of our Shahu Village, and it cannot be changed. The middle-aged man sighed lightly and said, "You can carry her to Lico's room." Hoss, you go to the warehouse and get a dried oak root, and you will have to dry it for three months. ”

"Thank you, thank you!" the sudden change in the attitude of these villagers made Linya quickly overjoyed and thanked her. The villagers stepped forward and carried Susanna, who was in a semi-conscious state, to a nearby house and put her on the bed. The owner of the house, a middle-aged woman in her forties named Lico, brought a quilt for Suzanne to cover, and she felt much warmer.

"Thank you, thank you!" Linya seemed to say only now. There are still a lot of good people in the world! Alas, is this a blessing in misfortune?

Everyone had dispersed, but there seemed to be a familiar smell coming out of the kitchen. After a while, the middle-aged male leader walked into the bedroom with a bowl, "The oak root juice we have here is very effective against typhoid cold, you can feed your sister to drink." Then rest for another two or three hours for the effect to take effect. After saying that, he put down the medicine bowl and left.

Linya didn't know if the medicine was real or not, if it was poisonous or not. But she couldn't tell the difference, to suspect anything, she didn't have a silver needle on her to test for poison or anything like that. They must all be good people, especially from the sentence "We do not welcome outsiders, you must leave immediately", you can feel that they have no reason to harm themselves. Linya quietly took two sips of herself, and did not feel any discomfort except for the bitterness, and then fed it to Suzanne and drank it slowly.

As soon as Suzanne had finished giving her medicine, Lico came in again, carrying two bowls and a large plate, and put them down on the table next to Linya, and smiled kindly, "Son, you must be hungry, aren't you? ”

Fish soup?Linya now understands what the scent is. What a seductive feeling. Although I had only eaten a barbecue for a short time, my stomach still barked again.

"Thank you, thank you, Aunt Lico. By the way, Auntie, I want to ask, what kind of place is this?"

"You're welcome, kid. We are here in Shahu Village, which means lake in the desert. We all know how hard it is to travel in the desert. You must pay attention to your body on the road!" said Lico, her expression full of genuine concern.

Linya didn't believe they could be bad people. So she was relieved to eat the pancakes made of wheat noodles and the fragrant fish soup, although there was obviously a lack of many seasonings, but the original taste of the food was even more delicious. "Sister Susanna, you have lost too much blood, this fish soup is very replenishing! Come and drink it obediently!" Linya said happily, in fact, Susanna's current state is not heard at all. After Linya had carefully fed her, Suzanne had fallen into a deep sleep.

Linya also felt a wave of tiredness hit her. For the past two days, I have been scared, unable to sleep, and tortured, and my poor body and brain seem to have been tensed to the limit. Now that I've finally arrived at a safe and secure place, and I've eaten and drunk enough, my brain seems to be eager to have a good dream.

But I still have to take care of Susanna!" Linya thought, but the fatigue came over her for a while, and finally she couldn't hold on to falling asleep.

When she woke up again, Linya found Suzanne looking at her with a smile. "Sister Susanna, are you awake, how are you feeling?" Suzanne smiled slightly, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Linya's long hair and said, "I'm fine, Your Highness the Princess." I feel much better and my brain doesn't hurt anymore. It must be that their medicine is very effective!" "Well, that's great! By the way, Sister Susanna, didn't I say that you are not allowed to call me Her Royal Highness the princess again, but call me Sister Linya!"

While the two were rejoicing, the door was pushed open, and the middle-aged leader and Lico walked in, and Lico carried a small cloth bag in front of Linya. "Looks like she's almost fine. "Here are some cooked wheat cakes, dried fish slices, tree fruits, and water, enough for you to eat for three days." After about a day's walk north, you should come across a deserted village, then turn a little more north-west and you'll be at Milltown for a day's walk. It doesn't matter if you can't find a deserted village, if you continue to walk north, you will already be on the edge of the desert, and you can find someone to ask for directions. ”
